Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

“Zzzz….”

Using a puppet consumes a great deal of mental energy, not to mention not having slept all day.

If it weren't for the discomfort of standing, Ziyao could have fallen asleep at any moment.

She has absolutely no ladylike qualities and lies down the moment her head hits the bed.

"Wait, take off your shoes first... your hair isn't tied up..."

What goes around comes around, and now it's Kiana's turn to take care of Ziyao.

However, she enjoyed it, patiently helping Ziyao change her shoes and comb her hair.

"Do you want to change into your pajamas...?"

Although the summer skirt is very soft, the drawstrings are still uncomfortable and often pull on it when I sleep.

"......"

Ziyao didn't speak; the only response she received was soft snoring.

Mmmmm...

Kiana swallowed, her throat feeling dry.

Sister Xilin, what should I do?

The girl lay unsuspectingly before her, her skin fair and rosy, her petite body endearing, making one want to kiss her.

[Hmph, so lazy, doesn't even change clothes before bed.]

Since you don't want to, then let me reluctantly help her.

Volume 1: Chapter 143 Overslept

Ultimately, the two abandoned their plan to help her change clothes.

After all, the girl was still fast asleep; wouldn't doing this be taking advantage of her vulnerability?

After hanging up the security chain, Kiana carefully climbed onto the bed and crawled under the covers.

Because she was very cold, she deliberately kept her distance, not wanting to wake the other person from the cold.

Even if I hug her now, she won't know, right?

Of course, that will have to wait until she's warmed up in bed.

After thinking for a moment, Kiana got up, turned on the air conditioner, and set it to 22 degrees Celsius.

The cold room gradually warmed up, and a layer of frost formed on the windows due to the cold outside and the warm inside.

Kiana, sitting on the edge of the bed, was somewhat dazed as she brewed coffee and held the slightly warm porcelain cup in her hand.

No one bothers me, and I have no worries.

It's just the two of them, and the snow that never ends.

It's like going to the library to read; rain is always a happy thing, so you can stay inside with peace of mind.

"..."

Kiana gently brushed aside the stray hairs on the girl's forehead, closed her eyes, and quietly savored the peace she had finally gained.

Even if it's just for a moment, try not to think about things that bother you.

Kiana took out the iron box and looked at the necklace that was only half-finished inside, still feeling a little worried.

What if she refuses?

[Hesitating. If it were me, she wouldn't have had the chance to refuse.]

Kiana, remember this: we are beings superior to ants; we don't need to consider their social morality or rules...

Follow your heart and do what you want to do, or you'll regret it sooner or later.

Recalling some less-than-pleasant memories, the flower language of Celine became somewhat somber.

"Whether in the previous cycle or now, because of my immaturity, I have caused a lot of trouble for everyone, and in the end, I have even lost myself."

"To be honest, I... don't want to compete with Mei."

[Hmph, then why not just give up?]

“I’ve never cared about anyone that much before. You know, Sister Xilin, I’ve been wandering since I was a teenager. Although I can guess that my dad has been secretly helping me, I’m still very lonely.”

"Whether it was the dreamlike past or the two months we've spent together now, she's always been there for me."

Chatting, playing games, skipping classes, sharing hardships...

Even without the memories of her previous reincarnation, Kiana felt that she would eventually fall in love with him.

"I will work hard, Sister Sirin."

Clutching the necklace tightly, the girl tried to make up her mind, though she still had some reservations.

【….】

The first thing I do when I get up is pick up my phone to check the time and see if there are any new messages.

9.30 points.

?

Did I only sleep for two hours?

I feel energetic, but my legs are a little sore, so I must have slept for a long time.

I tried to get up, but found myself gripped by a soft octopus and unable to move.

Lifting a corner of the blanket, she saw a paramecium that had crawled into her arms.

The girl had terrible sleeping habits, always unconsciously grabbing at things around her.

Sensing that Ziyao wanted to leave, Kiana, half-asleep, snuggled closer to Ziyao.

Upon confirming the date, Ziyao was momentarily at a loss for words.

Did you really sleep for a whole day...?

Shouldn't.

She doesn't usually consume this much energy when using dolls. Could it be a problem with the spatial gate created by the Void Law's power?

She has neither the physique of a Valkyrie nor the constitution of a Herrscher, so perhaps she really does have an influence.

"Lazybones, time to get up."

I poked Kiana's cheek, but she still didn't wake up; she was sleeping soundly.

There was a game console next to the bed, and the monitor on the wall was still on, with game screens still playing. It seemed she had been playing games late last night.

She posts pictures of her breakfast on Weibo, always keeping it warm.

"Kiana, if you don't get up soon, I'm going to punish you."

“Zzzz….”

The girl remained unmoved.

Ziyao tried to push Kiana away, but unfortunately she was too weak compared to the Valkyrie.

Seeing that Kiana was sleeping so soundly, Ziyao couldn't bear to wake her up in a direct way, so she could only continue to gently poke her cheek.

"Hmm..."

The girl felt unwell, and just when she thought she was about to wake up, she unexpectedly clung to Ziyao even tighter.

"Hey, is the sun already high in the sky?"

In order to escape, Ziyao had no choice but to pull out her trump card—a prank.

A small hand slips through the blanket and rests on the other person's slender waist, gently tickling them.

Kiana is usually afraid of this move and is often left breathless by Theresa's attacks.

As a result, there was still no reaction.

Due to her poor sleeping posture, her shoulder strap slipped down, revealing her bare shoulders and a large expanse of skin, as well as a hint of her fair complexion.

In order to free herself, Ziyao escalated her prank and took action against the latter.

In terms of feel, it's roughly somewhere between a jelly pillow and a cotton cushion.

It's very soft; your fingers can sink in slightly, but it's not just soft in a simple way.

While being flexible, it also has a lot of resilience; when you press down gently, you will feel the upward rebound force.

Water droplets can wear away stone; even the slightest stimulus will eventually accumulate into a lake.

The girl opened her eyes and finally realized the source of the strangeness.

Outstanding effect.

Just when Ziyao thought she could finally be free, she was pushed onto the bed the next second.

"Servant, did you have fun just now?"

Xilin's aggressive gaze lingered on Ziyao.

In just a moment, the roles of offense and defense were reversed.

"Um, Sister Xilin, Ziyao was just calling me to wake up..."

Kiana realized what was happening too late and, in a moment of urgency, switched bodies on her own initiative.

She didn't resist Ziyao's actions; on the contrary, she felt a little disappointed when the other party let go of her hand.

Is that all...?

She and Bronya sometimes act like that when they're playfully fighting, so maybe Ziyao is just thinking the same thing.

"Ahem... Good morning, how was your time last night?"

Sitting up in bed, Ziyao stretched her waist.

Maintaining one posture for a long time can cause aches and pains all over the body.
