"Don't worry, Mei-neechan. Bronya is currently unable to resist. You can sense my direction at any time. If you discover any actions by me that are detrimental to the Lord... Jiangcheng, you can attack me at any time. Heavy Bunny is no longer able to fight."
Those silver eyes remained as calm as ever.
It was almost like cheating; you couldn't see any emotion in it.
"I'll be watching you."
Only at this moment did the girl, who was usually gentle—forced to be gentle because of the boy's request—unhesitatingly tear off part of her disguise.
He made no attempt to hide the fact that he was not an ordinary person.
The faint lightning in his eyes shone like stars.
……
This has happened many times before.
Kiana also knew that Mei was extraordinary and that she had some conflicts with Bronya in the past.
It wasn't simply a matter of being bullied; quite the opposite, the flashing red light and warnings during their first meeting were enough to reveal Mei's identity.
It was only because Mei had always acted normally that the girl hadn't paid any attention to her, and also because of the suffering the boy had mentioned that the girl was carrying, that she chose to tolerate it.
Of course, there are also factors related to Jiangcheng.
They're doing quite well.
I tell stories every day, some about Raiden Mei, and some about myself. When I tell them, I feel like I understand my past self better than I do now.
Jiang Cheng also pointed out that in the original storyline, Kiana knew that Raiden Mei was a Herrscher, so she never stopped the leak of this information.
It seems like he's not saying it outright, that he's hiding it, but in reality, he can't hide much at all, and he can't hide it from the girl who hasn't yet been turned into a useless person.
He had no intention of interfering, and simply said goodbye to Mei and Kiana before leaving.
"Once it's fixed and powered on, you can do the first one."
"People with disabilities like me wouldn't dare to play with this kind of thing."
Watching the two girls walk towards and board the roller coaster, sitting side by side, the boy finally felt relieved and left with his primary tool—Bronya—towards a nearby maintenance location.
……
Chapter 60 Kiana: Mei is such an eyesore [**]
"Bronya, come and lend a hand."
Despite her impure motives—harboring the idea of increasing the affection between Raiden Mei and Kiana—the roller coaster was indeed something that needed to be repaired.
Jizo Mitama is extremely versatile, but when used by someone who does not fully control it, there are special effects. For example, when Raiden Mei attacks, unless she doesn't use her authority, uses a sword, or develops some more secretive moves, her ordinary attack will definitely be accompanied by purple lightning, with a majestic aura.
The only one who can truly wield the entire weapon with complete control is probably the Herrscher—Rin herself. In fact, if it weren't for the deal, she would probably still be holding it like a fire poker, just like before.
This inherent aura can showcase one's strength and style, but it is not conducive to self-concealment and is not suitable for a sneaky, venomous snake to possess.
Before actually meeting the Grey Serpent and confirming that he could go to Paradise, Jiang Cheng did not want others to know the cards he held.
Having learned his lesson about Yae, he no longer puts all his eggs in one basket and embraces multiple plans simultaneously.
For example, if the gray snake doesn't appear and you really can't attract it no matter what, then try to hack all the surveillance equipment with Jizo's Soul, then run away, and then personally go to find the World Serpent, go to Paradise, and try to resolve the conflict between Aponia and the Erosion.
There are too many shameless schemers in this world; beneath their kind and righteous facade lies ruthlessness and viciousness.
Only by remaining vigilant at all times can one minimize the chances of others exploiting one's weaknesses.
Find the gaps, identify the problems, and address them—isolating such possibilities requires starting with small things, leaving no hidden dangers, and ensuring that there are no loopholes that Otto might find in his later review.
Therefore, whenever possible, the boy still hopes to solve the problem in the simplest way, even if it requires some effort.
Given Jiang Cheng's request, Bronya naturally offered her assistance immediately, resolving the issue of only having one hand.
Thanks to the efforts of the genius girl with machine information, the damage to the roller coaster was easily resolved.
The girl, who has been a tool since birth, is best at being used as a tool by others.
Only when the roller coaster started moving—a moment when she was certain it would not affect the mission—did Bronya finally suppress her doubts.
"Master, is Kiana and Raiden Mei's relationship really that important? According to Bronya, their personalities don't seem to complement each other very well."
"Although Bronya's own incompetence also played a part, and it's definitely not an attempt to shirk responsibility, there were many times when the conflicts between the two of them reached a point that even Bronya found difficult to resolve."
If it weren't for Jiangcheng providing temporary relief, there were several truly close calls that would have prematurely turned into a tragic elegy for the sinners.
"If they don't get along well enough, humanity will be doomed."
Jiang Cheng's expression remained unchanged.
No matter how absurd it seems, there's no point in asking anymore.
Those who cannot see the same scene cannot understand what others are thinking. Just as if one has never seen a mountain, one cannot truly grasp how high or beautiful a mountain is in a description—Bronya understood this principle well.
So they just kept working silently until the two of them left after a few more minutes and went back to the roller coaster boarding point.
Contrary to expectations, Kiana and Mei were sitting a bit far apart, and it seemed that the desired outcome had not been achieved.
There was no increase in feelings, not even communication, despite the improved affection from the suspension bridge reaction.
You sit on the far left, and I sit on the far right. Neither of us should sit next to the other, and neither of us should talk to the other.
what happened?
what happened?
Jiang Cheng had just arrived there and hadn't even had a chance to ask any questions when Kiana pulled him up from the side.
"I'm still disabled."
This was the only refusal they could make in their panic—faced with such a lively girl.
"Don't worry, I'll hold you back."
"Absolutely, absolutely not, I would never abandon you like this, waking up to find the room empty."
Without hesitation, the girl, who had just made this declaration, reached out and hugged the boy's waist—her slender arm reached over his back, and her fingertips on the other side gently pulled his only remaining left hand, their five fingers tightly clasped together, palms pressed together, bringing her youthful, soft, and vibrant female body close to his.
Even through her clothes, one could sense the beauty of her radiant skin, a beauty that could perhaps only be described as as delicate and fair as a freshly peeled lychee.
It's icy cold.
It felt like touching the snow in Northern Europe.
The eternal aurora and the long night, which are usually depressing, bring a sense of vitality to the heart at this moment.
His crystal-clear silver hair, styled into playful and charming spiral pigtails, was blown loose by the wind, cascading like a waterfall. At this moment, it fell smoothly from his earlobes, with a few strands seeping into the edges of his clothes and sticking directly to the boy's body.
As for the area above the waist, which is too slender to be close to the boy's body, it is also the place where the girl, seemingly unaware of her actions, unhesitatingly pressed her fair skin against.
That fair and tender skin was pressed tightly against his side. Because his right hand was missing, it was pressed directly against his armpit and ribs. The boy could clearly feel the delicate and white texture, like sweet honey, through his own ribs.
It wasn't as huge as Mei's, nor as magnificent as Yae Sakura's when I first caught a glimpse of her. The size of the young girl's breasts was just the right amount of softness that I could feel in my estimation. It was the size that could probably be held in the palm of one hand.
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
She—Kiana—seemed completely unaware of how intimate her actions were.
He raised his head as always.
She watched him intently, as always.
He gazed at the boy.
He met those cherry-colored eyes.
They also generously offered their eyes, revealing all the emotions contained in that instant, and all the thoughts hidden in their eyes.
That quirky, cute, and adorable face showed no trace of extraneous thoughts.
It was truly so pure and so exquisite.
As bright and clear as the moon, as flawless as the moon.
All the emotions belonging to those eyes, to Kiana, to another lonely soul who had lost her family, were offered without reservation. Even the level of trust that is difficult to achieve between relatives was given out. What could be witnessed was the most beautiful song, on the same level as those azure pupils and silver hair, without the slightest discord.
……
The roller coaster was in progress, but Bronya had already started it the moment the boy turned around and was pulled back.
But this thrill, this excitement, this sudden gust of wind seemed to have no meaning other than making the girl's silver hair flow like a waterfall.
It simply adds a few unique touches of brilliance.
It turned that static face into a dynamic one.
They transformed from simple, exquisite paintings into living, breathing people.
A gentle, slightly cool summer breeze, carrying a hint of jealousy, quietly swept in, even the lavender field in her eyes seemed to be gently stirred, rippling with delicate waves, like waves spreading across the surface of water.
The round, blue pupils were dazzling, yet they seemed to be completely untouched by any other color, consisting solely of pure white.
The boy could see his hair fluttering, and his eyes trembling, as if he were being dazzled.
Ahhh...
Is this normal?
Kiana... is she really that carefree?
I think so...
The only thing that could make her so unguarded, to make such a forced analogy, is equivalent to saying on the bridge, "Captain, I want a kids' meal." It's the same behavior.
I……
Have you become her friend?
……
...囷瘤紀吾巴冷師林五
……
My heart was pounding.
Because of the roller coaster's rapid descent.
And also because of those eyes that could reflect her own face.
Jiang Cheng felt he could hardly estimate his heart rate anymore, because the speed was like the whistling wind in his ears, one from the inside and one from the outside, making his eardrums buzz and making him unable to hear anything at all.
Do not……
If I had to say something, my heartbeat would be louder.
If you focus all your attention on those eyes, you can even ignore the sound of the roller coaster.
"Kiana—!"
The boy, who was almost lost in the moment on the roller coaster, was awakened by a faint voice in his ear.
It wasn't until he subconsciously turned around that he happened to meet another pair of eyes, a pair of sharp eyes that tore apart his slightly confused thoughts.
—It's Raiden Mei.
"How could you do something so dangerous? Jiang Cheng hasn't fully recovered yet."
Facing Raiden Mei, whose eyes were dark and who had raised her head—
"With me here, I'm very strong."
Seemingly completely unaware of what was happening, Kiana hugged him even tighter, and even with her less-than-clear vision, one could see the soft, jelly-like flesh against the boy's skin—while her lips remained pursed in a wide, carefree smile.
If one had to describe this scene, it would be like two freshly whipped, sweet creams. The silver-haired beauty's slender body was firm and elastic, yet it was soft, sweet, and fragrant like vanilla ice cream that would melt easily in the palm of one's hand. The moment they made contact, they were pressed tightly against Jiang Cheng's skin through a thin layer of fabric that was practically nonexistent.
All of this made Raiden Mei even angrier, and her command to build a good relationship with Kiana was instantly aborted.
"Even I can't say I can completely protect him, so what makes you think you can definitely protect Jiangcheng?"
"It's just a roller coaster ride... is it really necessary to go to such lengths?"
Kiana's response was simply those pure, starry eyes.
"Necessary...it is necessary..."
"Ah..."
Her breathing became heavy—the breath of the being called Raiden Mei became like the wind that accompanies the descent of thunderclouds.
She was very angry.
