Beside her, however, Hua, with her wolf-tail hairstyle, was rather quiet. Having just moved from a small town, she seemed shy no matter how you looked at her, like a handsome young man.
She didn't even know herself how she ended up sitting at the same table as the most famous young lady in school.
During the meal.
She could feel many people looking at her with envy, jealousy, and hatred. This made her a little uncomfortable.
But speaking of which, it was all thanks to Carole.
Carole was friends with Hua, and also friends with Kiana.
So naturally, Hua and Kiana became acquainted.
Kiana remembered that even before she awakened her past life, she instinctively felt that Carole was more approachable.
I've met this younger sister…
And so, with repeated interactions.
She didn't put on any airs, making her very easy to get along with.
However.
Not putting on airs was all relative.
Kiana had no interest in other people.
Especially now that she was completely focused on her career, she had even less desire to deal with all those formalities.
She yawned and ate her food elegantly, a bodily instinct, as she replied, "Yesterday, because of some things... um, I didn't get to sleep until four o'clock..."
"No wonder! How about you go take a nap in the infirmary later?" Carole blinked and looked at Kiana with concern.
Kiana shook her head slightly. "I slept in class this morning, and I'm feeling much better. I remember we have swimming class this afternoon, right? Aren't you going to teach me how to swim?"
"It's fine~"
Carole waved her hand.
She burst into a hearty laugh.
"It's okay to teach you swimming next time! If you're not feeling well, you don't have to force yourself. If you get distracted while swimming, you might choke on water."
She suddenly paused, as if she had realized something, her eyes sparkling. She stopped eating and looked at Kiana.
"Every time our Kiana, the young lady, goes to PE class, she attracts so much attention. She's got a great figure, she's smart, she's rich, and she's so gentle."
"But if you, the young lady, were to choke on water, cough, turn red in the face, and panic..."
"It would be quite amusing to think about!"
"..."
"I want to see it!" Carole looked at Kiana expectantly.
"Now that you mention it, I don't feel like swimming anymore. I'll just go to the infirmary to rest for a while then." Kiana chuckled, amused.
"Mhm! After school... I'll come pick you up!" Carole wasn't disappointed and smiled brightly.
PS1: Here's the first update, one more to go, keep up the good work~~
005. Yuzu Fan, Appearing =v=
Although Kiana did walk towards the infirmary after eating.
She didn't actually intend to lie down and rest properly.
In the infirmary.
There was usually a teacher on duty.
If someone was actually sick and needed to see a school doctor, they would usually go to the medical office, not here.
Kiana told the teacher that she wasn't feeling well.
The teacher then let Kiana find a bed to lie down on.
She chose a spot by the window and pulled the curtain.
This way, people outside couldn't see clearly what she was doing inside.
Kiana rubbed her hands together and opened the system panel.
"System."
[I'm here.]
"Let's continue."
She said happily.
In fact.
Kiana didn't have to do this.
Although it wasn't bad to let go of her idol persona when no one was around, these little expressions gave off a feeling of sneakiness.
It was cute, to be sure.
It was just a bit frustrating.
And besides.
Her communication with the system was now all internal.
Even when she saw the system's semi-transparent panel, including all its operations, like editing and commentary, even if she muttered a lot...
No one in reality would know a single thing.
However!
Perhaps this was a sense of ritual?
Anyway.
If she actually edited videos with commentary and let others hear it, Kiana would truly die.
If there were people around, let alone this, even talking to herself while watching a show felt incredibly embarrassing.
As expected!
This kind of work, deceiving the entire world.
It had to be kept secret.
Even though she wasn't exactly deceiving the entire world.
But!
Subconsciously, when she and the system intercepted the future and prepared to expose videos, she would be a little more careful.
Secretly.
Perhaps this way, it had more atmosphere? It wasn't impossible, right~
Kiana shook her head slightly and looked at the sky outside.
She should finish the first video as soon as possible.
Her thoughts had already been somewhat organized while she was dozing off in the morning.
The rest.
No need to worry. Just take it slow...
She looked like a little girl who had gotten a new toy, full of excitement and eager to try it out.
When there were people around, she was a young lady.
When there was no one around, she could be as willful as she wanted. This was the real her!
"Cough cough..."
She coughed lightly in her mind.
Kiana lay on the bed, hands clasped on her stomach, lying on her back and looking at the screen.
"Ciallo~"
"Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening to all our viewers."
"This is Yuzu."
"..."
It wasn't a split personality.
The most important thing was!
Kiana knew very well.
First and foremost, she had to separate herself. She had to create a persona specifically for making videos, for commentary, and for using the system.
This way.
No matter what the sky screen exposed.
She would be like an outsider, thinking, "What am I looking at? I'm surprised too!"
She wouldn't be suspected so easily.
Even her commentary tone had changed, and her voice was clearly different from her current one.
However, because these were words conceived in her mind.
The voice and tone would need to be adjusted by the system in post-production.
Even the edited videos, the extracted materials, and even what Kiana was thinking in her mind right now.
They were all just drafts.
The system would need to polish them later.
The system asked.
[After the final product is finished, would you like to review it?]
At that time.
Kiana replied with full confidence.
"It's fine! I believe in you!"
Most importantly, she genuinely wanted to watch the revealed video as an audience member.
It was like opening a blind box, with a bit of surprise.
That's what made life fun, wasn't it?
If she had handled everything herself, she would have already seen it, and it wouldn't be interesting to show it on the sky screen later.
If she were truly an uploader.
Then of course... reading comments and watching bullet comments would be her joy.
But this sky screen thing, it's in the sky, where are the bullet comments for her to see? Even comments would have to be a later thing.
She didn't want that.
Since that was the case.
The system had nothing more to say.
She would do as she pleased.
But speaking of which.
She still needed to separate the person creating the video from her current self.
A new persona was very necessary.
Kiana referenced the uploaders she had seen on Pixiv before, and after a few tries, she felt like she had found the right approach.
Just like now.
She decided that these projected videos would be updated works created by a history commentator named 'Yuzu' in some distant future.
They were projected into this world for some unknown reason.
