Exposing Myself First in Honkai

"Because the screen was about to start revealing things, and you happened to be here, we could watch it together," Elysia explained.

A trace of surprise flashed through Mobius's eyes as she looked at Kiana, seeming slightly thoughtful.

However.

There was no need for her to dwell on it.

Kiana's Mother explained it to her.

She said—

As the Finality, Kiana could sense the existence of the screen. She would probably be able to feel when it was about to appear or undergo changes and foresee it to some extent.

Clearly.

This made Mobius even more enthusiastic toward Kiana.

She did not even bother with dinner. It was not that she did not have time to eat; she simply seemed to have lost all interest in it. With her entire mind fixed on Kiana and her goal clear, she clung to her like she was acting cute.

She hoped Kiana would tell her more about what was going on.

"We can talk about it later, later."

Kiana was somewhat troubled.

It was not that she disliked Mobius getting close to her.

After all, she liked Snake too.

Whether it was Big Snake or Little Snake, she liked them both.

And Big Snake was soft and squishy, with an amazing feel. When she leaned against her, she was like cotton candy.

If it had been any other time.

She truly would not have minded fooling Kiana a little.

Or, depending on how she behaved, telling her a bit of the truth. That would have been fine too.

But now...

"The screen is about to start, Snake. Once you're ready, let's go over there. We'll watch together on the balcony."

"You wouldn't want me talking to you about something else and causing you to miss your own feature, would you?"

"Hm?"

"..."

Kiana smiled.

To her, Miss Snake was not at a particularly high level—at least, she was nowhere near as terrifying as Elysia—so Kiana could still handle her.

Mobius thought about it and agreed.

She wanted to ask the Young Lady of Finality how she had been feeling lately, what it was like after gaining her powers.

Or perhaps something else...

There would be plenty of time later.

Although she was not particularly fond of her own exposure video.

She also wanted to know what she would do in the future and what would become of her.

She did feel somewhat uncomfortable inside.

But not to the point of fiercely resisting it.

This time, they had clearly prepared more thoroughly than last time.

Do not misunderstand.

This referred to the balcony.

Last time, it had only been Kiana and her mother watching together, so they had not considered much else.

But now.

At Elysia's suggestion, several reclining chairs had already been placed on the balcony. Once their angles were adjusted, they would be very convenient for watching the screen.

At the same time.

She had prepared fruit, snacks, tea, and pastries. The main idea was to watch videos, chat, and eat while enjoying themselves.

It felt quite pleasant.

In fact, it was not just them. Over the past few days, reclining chairs angled for convenient screen-viewing had become extremely popular among many people.

They did not know when the screen would appear again.

But it was always better to be prepared. Was it not nice to buy them, set them out, and have them ready?

It had even sparked a wave of consumer spending.

PS1: Here is the first update. There's one more to go, keep it up~~

Huai Min Was Also Awake. Pain +N

Honestly.

When Mobius saw the scene on the balcony, her mind went a little blank.

She even saw that the neighbors not far away had arranged the same things on their balconies.

She genuinely did not know what to say.

Elysia cutely waved her little hand in front of Mobius, then grinned and pointed her toward a reclining chair. "Snake, you can lie there."

"Ely! Sia! Try calling me Snake one more time?!" Mobius snapped.

It was one thing for the Young Lady of Finality to call her that. When she got angry, she merely got angry for a moment, and then it passed. But why the hell were you calling her that too? Huh? Did she not have any dignity?

"Okay, Snake. Got it, Snake."

Elysia grinned, fully embracing the principle of admitting her mistake without changing it.

Seeing that Kiana had already reclined in her chair.

She moved over to join her.

"Doctor?" Kiana's Mother was the last to come over. Seeing Mobius puffing up in anger, she was somewhat surprised and could not help calling out to her.

"It's nothing." Mobius was not as shameless as Elysia. She simply could not bring herself to call her Mother, but her attitude toward Kiana's Mother had clearly improved considerably. There was even a degree of respect in it, and she was no longer as cold and aloof as usual.

Kiana's Mother did not force the issue.

Once she saw Mobius lie down, she lay down as well.

Although Kiana had said the screen would reveal something tonight, she had not specified the time.

So, to everyone else, it remained uncertain.

There was still a need to wait patiently.

But after a brief silence, Elysia suddenly spoke.

"Does this count as moonbathing?"

After all, the moon was quite bright tonight.

The moon shone brightly, with only sparse stars and few dark clouds.

Though it was not a full moon.

It was still quite nice.

In truth, at this very moment.

There was something Kiana wanted to alter, which was why the video's release had been delayed slightly.

Even though no one else knew that.

She knew it in her heart.

It was mainly the preview for the next episode at the end of the video, which was meant to whet the entire world's appetite.

She wanted to change it.

Originally, she had planned for Eden to come after Mobius.

But because she had unexpectedly heard news about Sakura over the past two days, she decided that the next episode would cover the sisters Sakura and Rin.

That was right.

Whether it was the older sister or the younger sister.

She did not plan to let either of them off.

Originally, Kiana had even wanted to include Mei.

But after thinking it over, she decided to spare her.

After all, at this point in time, whether Mei and Kevin had officially confirmed their relationship or not, there was probably already plenty of ambiguity between them.

Ancestor Kevin had suffered enough already.

She would let him off.

Host, the video has been modified.

"Mm... then release it."

Although Kiana had become increasingly unhurried in the way she handled things.

That did not mean she would deliberately drag out something she could clearly do.

Rather.

If there was something she absolutely had to do, she would finish it efficiently before going back to lazing around. As she put it, seeing unfinished tasks on her to-do list made her feel terrible.

Since there was a task, she would definitely clear it first before continuing to lie flat. Just like when she was little and still in school, she always finished her homework before going out to play.

She had developed good habits.

And at the same time.

It was clearly visible!

Boom—

A thunderclap exploded.

Then the sky began to change.

It was as though a murky world had become completely clear, turning into a sheet of white paper before being spread flat.

"Is this... the screen appearing?"

"Awesome! Good thing I didn't work overtime today and got home early!"

"..."

Some people were delighted, because there was new entertainment to watch.

Others were suspicious, because they were gradually realizing that this world seemed to have depths far beyond what they had imagined.

Some even thought of the footage circulating online of Kiana being attacked.

They could not help feeling even more anticipation toward the screen's content.

"So today will be Doctor Mobius's exposure, right?"

"Yabai, I really want to see it!"

"..."

The nation's top officials immediately convened a meeting.

Those who could make it came in person, while those who could not joined through video.

No matter what the meeting might be able to discuss.

At the very least, gathering together to talk and exchange opinions was not a bad thing.

The think tanks were the most nervous.

They had to record all sorts of information again.
