Tia Ballo: Hey, What Color Do You Want to Turn? (Continued)

"Tia Polo ..."

Having accepted the mission, Mo Yi was already walking down the street, not far from the agreed-upon location to meet the Grasshopper Sister and Fu Hua.

Upon recalling the name of this Grasshopper Sister, Mo Yi couldn't help but think of the dream he had last night, in True Kiana, with a mysterious expression, told him that she had a surprise for him. Now, thinking about it, the so-called surprise was this Grasshopper Sister.

While idols certainly exist in this world, most coincidences contain underlying conditions.

Given her identity as the Grasshopper Sister, coupled with the name 'Tia Polo', the only people who know about 'The Wonderful Adventures of Honkai', which Mo Yi hasn't released yet, are the guys in Mo Yi's family and the True Kiana listens to Mo Yi's stories in her dreams.

"Um?"

As Mo Yi passed by a cake shop, he suddenly stopped and went inside.

"Dulu lulu lulu..."

On the street, Tia Polo sat on a shared chair under a lush cherry blossom tree, waiting for someone from the St. Freya Academy to pick her up. She took out her newly bought cell phone, made a 'beep beep beep' sound, and then answered the call.

"Big sister, are you there?"

True Kiana: "..."

True Kiana had just woken up, received a contact request from K801 and turned on the communication network. Well, the phone in Tia Polo's hand was useless; the two were communicating telepathically at this moment.

"Tia, is there something you need from me?"

"I have arrived at the island where St. Freya Academy is located, and am now waiting for the Schicksal Ones to pick me up—"

Tia Polo said calmly:

"Everything is fine..."

"Tia is just a little worried about you, sister. Are you getting used to not having anyone to take care of you?"

"Good--"

Tia was originally the Grasshopper Sister who took care of True Kiana. Since she was sent to the St. Freya Academy to carry out a surveillance mission, naturally a new Grasshopper Sister appeared to take care of True Kiana.

Because of Mo Yi, True Kiana, who no longer resists reality and is indifferent, has changed reality herself and even had Lord Green Otto provide her with delicious food, which shows that she wants to live a good life now.

True Kiana: Even an ordinary Grasshopper Sister is more popular than me. This must be a problem with the food that Schicksal me. I'm still in my developmental stage. If I eat more nutritious food now, I'll definitely become stronger!

"Don't worry about me. Be careful on your end. Safety is the top priority."

Hearing True Kiana say this, Tia was moved once again. Her older sister cared about her so much, so why shouldn't she work hard to repay her sister?

Tia: You despicable imposter—the fake Kiana Kaslana, prepare for trial! I will utterly crush you, body and soul, and take back everything you took from my sister!

"They've come all this way, and they might even be hungry..."

Mo Yi, who had bought several Baumkuchen cakes, left the cake shop and continued walking. He soon arrived at the location indicated in the information. Then, he activated his Light of the Heart and scanned the surrounding crowd, quickly finding Grasshopper Sister.

After confirming the other party's location, Mo Yi walked towards it. After passing through the crowd, as a sudden gust of wind blew by, Mo Yi happened to see a white-haired girl sitting under a cherry blossom tree. Coincidentally, the girl's clear, or rather slightly dazed blue eyes were also looking at Mo Yi.

Tia: "..."

This is... my brother-in-law!

Before coming, Tia had naturally seen photos and information about important figures at the St. Freya Academy, since Lord Green Otto wanted to take advantage of the situation and send people to monitor St. Freya Academy.

Tia's real mission is to replace True Kiana and understand Mo Yi's situation in reality. As for attacking Ji Anya and taking everything away from her, those are just the thoughts of the Grasshopper Sister.

Upon seeing the other person, Mo Yi met their gaze and strode over.

"Hey—"

Before Mo Yi could even introduce himself, Tia spoke first. She looked at Mo Yi with Kiana's expressionless face and asked in a low voice, "What color do you want to become?!"

Mo Yi: "..."

Are you Shiina Kiana, the Dark One?!

Upon hearing this question, Mo Yi thought back and realized that he also seemed to have reserved the anime "The Pet Girl of Sakurasou" for True Kiana to watch.

Although I don't know why Grasshopper Sister would know, the only source is True Kiana.

"Um--"

Since the other party had asked this question, Mo Yi thought about it seriously for two seconds. After all, she was his sister-in-law whom he had just met, so he had to take her seriously. He replied, "It should be a multicolored black."

"A multicolored black?"

The Grasshopper Sister tilted her head in confusion, looked at Mo Yi with a blank expression, and said, "Tia doesn't understand?"

"Because black absorbs visible light and encompasses everything, even though it may appear to be black without any color at first glance, it actually contains all colors..."

Mo Yi is, after all, an author, and his ability to make up nonsense with a straight face is still top-notch. He said, "If everyone could become light, I would be willing to become the one who can contain all light, whether it is the blazing red or the indifferent blue."

"And what color do you want to be?"

The Grasshopper Sister, with a blank expression, said matter-of-factly:

"I never thought of that—"

Mo Yi: "..."

"Then think about it now."

"Right now, it's probably white."

"Why?"

Because of Mo Yi's question, the Grasshopper Sister recalled the first smile that True Kiana showed her. That radiant white light was unforgettable, illuminating her life that had no meaning and whose origins were unknown. It was her first ray of light.

"That's something Tia has to protect."

Although I don't know what it reminded me of, it must have been something rather heavy. It's not appropriate to talk about these things if you've just met someone. After all, "a gentleman avoids speaking too deeply with someone he's just met," and it's not suitable to talk about deep things with someone you've just met, as that would only make them feel awkward.

"I see—"

"I am Mo Yi, the person sent by the St. Freya Academy to pick you up and take you to the academy."

Mo Yi looked at the photo in his hand, then glanced around, thinking to himself, "I've found Grasshopper Sister, but where Immortal Fu Hua? Didn't they come together?"

"Mo Yi, may I call you brother-in-law?"
