Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

"......"

Kiana hesitated for a moment, then gave up on asking the question she wanted to ask.

After class at noon, Kiana stayed in the classroom alone.

Flipping through the book, I found information about the birth of the Lawgivers.

The power of collapse usually descends upon a specific individual who possesses certain traits or is suited to it.

The Herrscher is the messenger of Honkai, the curse that destroys everything.

“…”

In the silence, a tinkering sound came from the back of the classroom, as if someone was looking for something.

Upon closer inspection, Kiana exclaimed in surprise, "Class President??"

Fu Hua was seen searching for electronic parts in a small room, her clothes covered in dust.

"I heard you failed three subjects."

"No...no, I just filled in the wrong multiple-choice question..."

Fu Hua sighed. Compared to the number of courses she failed last time, this time it was barely an improvement.

"Learning is very important; it relates to whether a person can broaden their knowledge and solve contradictions and problems."

She took out a simply packaged malt candy and handed it to Kiana.

"Eating sweets will improve your mood. Don't overthink it. If you have any questions, you can tell us."

"Or perhaps I happen to know a good book..."

Fu Hua noticed Kiana's downcast expression and offered her words of comfort.

"No, no, no need. I have amusement park tickets. I'll go relax."

Kiana waved her hands repeatedly in refusal, saying that reading those boring books was simply torture, and she would rather go outside and play.

I have four tickets, who should I contact?

I wanted to find Mei, but she said she didn't have time today.

Bronya is also out, how about we go find Ziyao?

After saying goodbye to Fu Hua, Kiana took a side path back to her dormitory, passing by a park along the way.

The next moment, her feet seemed to be glued to the spot, fixed in place.

Mei was sitting on a bench, the shadows of the trees swaying in the breeze.

The dark-haired girl she was looking for was sitting right next to her.

The two shared a lunchbox, and it seems they even used the same chopsticks!

"Eh...?"

Volume 1: Chapter 96 Kiana on the Boundary Line (Part 3)

noon.

A cool breeze weaves through the greenery, swaying the dappled shadows of the trees.

"It's alright, the injury has almost healed..."

Declining Mei's concern, Ziyao turned her head away, her face slightly flushed. Her puppeteer abilities granted her remarkable resilience.

Why bring up something that's not worth talking about?

It's like a paper window; if the thin, translucent paper tears, it's no big deal, it's not a big deal, you can just replace it with a new sheet.

The battles against Herrschers and the battles against humans are actually quite similar.

One must proceed cautiously and think things through carefully in order to make the right choice.

"Ziyao is indeed very knowledgeable."

Mei nodded in flattery, a satisfied smile on her face, and took out the bento box she had prepared earlier.

Through working side by side, their relationship has reached a new level.

It pierced through that thin layer of window paper.

“…”

Ziyao remained silent.

I feel that in some ways, Mei's femininity is not as good as mine. Should I laugh or cry?

There are very few people in the grove at this time of year, and the view is quite secluded.

Like a couple, the two sat on a bench and shared lunch.

To be honest, Ziyao planned to eat back in the dorm, but she couldn't persuade Mei to go against her wishes.

The girl's expectant gaze was impossible to hide, and she tentatively asked, "...Is it okay?"

"No."

Although Ziyao is not a traditional person, kissing is fine, but there is a big problem if they go straight to the last step without even holding hands or going on a date, and the relationship is not defined.

As for yesterday... let's not talk about it.

Just one kiss.

Mei raised a finger and pressed closer, her soft body pressing against it.

She's going to do her daily training later, trying to become stronger.

In this way, this is the last time the two of them will have alone together.

Ziyao nodded helplessly, sat up slightly, and stood on her tiptoes.

Full, alluring cherry lips were so close to her eyes. Mei closed her eyes, but found her cheeks slightly damp.

Instead of kissing, the other person took a shortcut and kissed the cheek.

"Really..."

The opportunity was missed, and the leisurely lunch time passed quickly.

"I think I just saw Kiana."

"She probably misread it. Knowing her personality, she'll definitely misunderstand and then come over to play together..."

After packing the bento, Mei felt a little regretful, as she had thought their relationship could have progressed further.

That's what the book says. Was she just too impatient?

Recalling the widely circulated video, Mei worries that she might not be the only one to regain her memories.

If time really did reset, then she would probably be the only one to go through a cycle.

“Swishing…”

Leaving the shady woods, Ziyao walked back to her dormitory along the path, wanting to try out the new doll.

She hadn't walked more than a few steps when she noticed several amusement park tickets scattered on the ground.

I have a bad feeling.

I opened my phone and saw a new message from Otto.

[Otto: My friend, the plan is about to move on to the next stage. I'm so sorry I accidentally dragged you into the Jizo Mitama.]

By the way, did you see a white-haired girl inside? She's dangerous.

I didn't see it.

Rather than this, are they planning to implant another gemstone next?

The person on the other end paused for a moment, realizing that this level of secrecy was known to almost only him.

He typed a question mark, but the girl's next words left Otto speechless.

This is not something you should know.

Otto: ......

Ziyao could not agree with this radical plan.

She prefers a gradual approach rather than taking leaps.

Lawyer —

There are too many variables; it's impossible to guarantee what she will do after she appears.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the Herrscher is a walking disaster.

Especially for Theresa and others who experienced the Second Honkai Impact, their expressions almost always darken when the topic of Herrschers comes up.

However, Otto gave a perfunctory response to Ziyao's idea, saying that he would come up with a result that would satisfy everyone.

The meaning behind his words was simple: he could do it on his own, and he hoped Ziyao wouldn't interfere.

The meeting ended badly, and Ziyao turned off her phone.

It would be unwise to directly confront Otto, so she chose to remain silent.

It seems I need to do something for them...

It wasn't a backflip, but something that would be even more exciting for Otto.

With that thought in mind, the girl returned to the dormitory building.

"呲呲呲......"

The jarring electronic sounds echoed continuously in the corridor.

A box-shaped monitor, about half the size of a person, stood in the corner of the stairs, next to a toolbox filled with rusty parts.

"Strange, according to the instructions, all that's needed is to replace the broken part, so why...?"

Fu Hua, dressed in casual clothes, pondered, her hands covered in dust.
