Chapter 98: What Happened?
The distant past?
Mei clearly couldn't understand the meaning of the girl's words, but she didn't think the other party was being perfunctory. After all, the sincerity conveyed in those words was genuine.
Perhaps, it was just that she couldn't understand it yet.
At some point, they had arrived at Chiba Academy.
On this brand new day, the school gate and courtyard were filled with students chatting in groups, discussing last night's events.
But after noticing Mei, they started whispering and casting strange glances.
Whenever this happened, Mei would unconsciously lower her head.
Although she no longer cared as much about this situation, it would be a lie to say that she didn't mind at all.
Subconsciously, the girl leaned towards the white-haired girl beside her and hugged her arm.
This somewhat bold action was something even the previous Kiana hadn't experienced. Of course… now she was experiencing it.
—The girl's assets were quite ample.
"Sorry…"
Feeling the gazes, Mei's voice was very soft.
Although it was a bit sudden, it… felt very safe!
It might be a bit rude to say this, but while both were by her side, Kiana was like a lively younger sister, while the current "Kiana" gave her an incredibly reassuring sense of reliability.
Although the person inside was male, perhaps it was precisely because of this that Mei felt this feeling was even more wonderful than when she was with Kiana.
Because they were both girls, she could also convince herself with the thought—Since we're both girls, being a little intimate shouldn't be a problem, right?
The white-haired girl didn't speak, only showing a reassuring smile.
The two girls walked together, looking exceptionally close.
But this time was also exceptionally short, as Mei and "Kiana" weren't in the same class.
Mei reluctantly let go of the girl's fair arm, visible through her short sleeves, and softly bid farewell, heading to her own classroom.
Calmly watching her figure disappear from sight, "Kiana" smiled and entered her own classroom.
—The white-haired dumpling's poor student qualities seemed to have already manifested at Chiba Academy, so much so that the teachers and classmates couldn't help but look as if they had seen a ghost when they saw "Kiana" attending class on time.
What was even more unacceptable to them was that this girl, who always acted carefree, was acting like a proper lady today. Even when faced with the teacher's targeted questions, she answered fluently, behaving like a top student.
The poor student transformed into a ladylike top student overnight. The teachers, who originally had a very bad impression of Kiana, were practically moved to tears and instantly changed their opinion.
This was a perfect example for other students!!!
However, they didn't know that while pretending to listen attentively, the white-haired girl was also dealing with another hidden danger in her body—
In the snowy white landscape, the white-haired girl with a calm expression looked at another incredibly similar white-haired girl not far away, whose golden eyes revealed the divinity of a Herrscher.
Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, or rather, the malice Sirin held towards the world and humanity when she was a Herrscher.
Being inexplicably awakened from her slumber, the confused queen looked at the white-haired girl and frowned:
"Are you… that Elysia?!"
As essentially the same person, she and Kiana shared each other's memories.
Using the white-haired dumpling's experience in distinguishing Elysia from "Elysia," the queen instantly perceived the true nature of this somewhat unusual "Kiana."
"Uh… well, if you want to call me that, fine."
Although Jiang Qiao was a bit helpless about being called "that Elysia," he didn't bother correcting the address.
"—You!"
The queen instantly became furious.
She was sleeping soundly, but suddenly felt a strange power invade her body, which further deepened her slumber.
"Although I don't know how you got into my body, since you dare to appear before me, you should be prepared, right?"
The Herrscher of the Void's words, filled with killing intent, echoed, creating a chilling atmosphere.
"Of course, otherwise why do you think I would actively awaken you?"
"…Do you really think you can defeat me?"
Hearing the girl's words, a surprised expression appeared on Sirin's face, followed by a mocking look.
"If we were outside, I might not be able to do anything to you with that strange power of yours, but this is my consciousness space, my domain! Where do you, an outsider, get the confidence to defeat me?"
Even the arrogant Sirin had to admit the difficulty of dealing with Jiang Qiao using Elysia's body, as she herself wasn't in her complete state.
But in this consciousness space belonging to "Sirin," the queen believed she was absolutely invincible!
"Die!"
With a wave of her hand, several spears of Void energy shot towards the white-haired girl.
Although it was impossible to completely kill her, as long as she could suppress Jiang Qiao, the Herrscher of the Void could seize control of the body.
Then, as long as she triggered an eruption in Nagazora City and fully recovered, she would be completely resurrected in this world!
—Honkai, your queen is returning.
Those humans outside, tremble before me!!!
Just as Sirin was fantasizing about her beautiful future after gaining control of the body, the Void spears suddenly reversed direction.
As her eyes widened, they transformed into ribbons, binding the Herrscher of the Void and hanging her upside down in the air.
Struggling, Sirin's face was filled with anger and shock—
"What's going on?"
What happened? What happened? At this moment, her mind was a mess, completely unable to understand the situation.
Why did her Herrscher power suddenly backfire?
As Sirin was in a state of shock, the white-haired girl standing in the snow walked towards her slowly. As Sirin stared blankly, a bright light flowed through the girl's body, her long, curled hair gradually unfurling, and her Chiba Academy uniform transformed into a gorgeous and luxurious Herrscher outfit.
Glancing at the bound Sirin with her golden eyes, she said calmly:
"Indeed, this consciousness space is Sirin's domain."
"But—"
"Sirin isn't just you."
