In this way, the group of female players were transformed from a bunch of greedy maze invaders into evil dragons guarding the maze's treasure.
Then there was the later scene where the Black Sword Knights manipulated the mind of the princess, causing internal strife within the entire Black Sword Knights... all of which left Ms. Caihua in awe.
This also elevated Kiyono Ash's status in her heart from "just playing around" to "I must catch her and raise her."
Ms. Caihua originally intended to let the animals roam freely for a while, and try to catch them during that period.
The wish for Kiyono Hai to work in the Dream City was made by her. If it had been made by other gods of the Dream City instead of her, the wish might have really turned into Kiyono Hai becoming a magical girl's dog.
Unfortunately, this disobedient child still made a big mistake during this period. No matter how much Kiyono Hui planned, he should never have used Ms. Ayaka's daughter's account, Tsubaki, to act.
This made Ms. Caihua unable to tolerate the exposure of her true identity. Since her true identity has been exposed, then... let's have a formal talk with Qingye Hai.
Just as Kiyono realized the true identity of this real-life maternal player, Ms. Ayaka suddenly appeared in the behind-the-scenes cinema of Labyrinth Sanctuary 2.
The sudden visit of this god of the past from the dream city... has put the four goddesses, who have been stationed in this movie theater for a whole month, into a state of high alert.
The first to react was the fox lady. She stood up abruptly and stood in front of Kiyono Gray, her nine tails sprang out from under her skirt, successfully blocking Kiyono Gray's view completely.
Then there was that world-destroying witch, who immediately stood in front of Takigami Rena. Judging from her terrifying expression, she was ready to perish together with the intruder at any moment.
What surprised Kiyono Hai the most was that junior student Shiina Akane. Although she did not exude any terrifying aura, she still silently stood in front of Sayaka-senpai.
Finally, there was Senior Nan Deng, who directly drew her sword and pointed it at Ms. Cai Hua who had come to visit. What caught Kiyono Hui's attention was that... Senior Nan Deng was actually using a Han sword.
But compared to that... everyone is probably more nervous about the sudden invasion of the final boss of Dream City.
But the way the four goddesses were behaving at that moment made Kiyono Gray's radar start spinning wildly.
Saimika-senpai has feelings for that fox girl that go beyond normal friendship, something Kiyono Hai could guess.
But it seems that Akane Shiina's feelings for Sayaka are not simple either?
"I have no ill intentions in visiting this time, I just want to have a chat with Kiyono-kun."
Konoe Ayaka's image in the stage world is no different from that in the real world; she is a woman in a kimono who looks extremely mature and melancholic.
"Do you think I'll ever believe your lies again?" Black mist began to rise from Sayaka's hands.
Before the two sides were about to actually fight, Kiyono Hai stepped forward and temporarily eased the tense atmosphere.
“Ms. Caihua, I’m sorry that I used your late daughter’s account for the performance.”
Kiyono Hui first apologized for using someone else's deceased daughter's account as a prop in the performance, and upon reflection, realized that he had indeed done something wrong.
"If you want to use it, you are welcome to use it. It's just a remnant of my daughter left in this world. It's not something I care about to this extent."
Ms. Caihua said this only to Qingye Hui. If any other deity dared to mess with her daughter's account, she would step in and wipe them out immediately!
"I've come here just to ask you one thing."
Ms. Caihua didn't seem to want to linger here, so she got straight to the point and stated her purpose.
"Kiyono-kun, would you... be interested in being adopted by me and becoming my godson? Not just as a character in a game, but as a god on stage, or as Kiyono Hai in the real world..."
"They were all adopted by Konoe Ayaka and became completely our Konoe family's children?"
As soon as Konoe Ayaka said that, five big question marks popped up in the entire movie theater.
"…ha?"
The eerie silence was first broken by Miss Fox with a loud "Ha!"
"Ms. Ayaka, do I look like I need to be adopted?" Kiyono asked, pointing to himself.
"Of course we need it, we absolutely need it. Maybe these young girls can't see it, but I can see into your heart, Kiyono-kun."
Ms. Ayaka gently placed her hand on her chest and looked at Kiyono Hai with the worried look of a mother concerned about her child's future.
“You are an extremely insecure child. From the moment you came into this world, the reason for your insecurity is that you know too much, or perhaps you are just too mature.”
"Like you, or rather, the new gods at your stage, most of them are a bunch of fools who think they are omnipotent after becoming gods. But little do they know that in today's world where gods are everywhere and strange and supernatural things are rampant, the identity of a god... is just a one-way ticket to a more cruel hell."
"But Kiyono-kun, you are different. You clearly understand the cruel competition between gods, and that if you don't become the most dazzling actor in the performance, you will die. That's why you are desperately trying to fight for the chance to live."
"But Kiyono-kun, I know that this kind of life actually involves a lot of pressure and exhaustion. It's like you're constantly transforming into Shanor to greet those new players. I'm afraid unimaginable fatigue has been accumulating on you all this time."
Ms. Caihua's analysis of Kiyono Hai was indeed insightful, and then she extended her hand directly to Kiyono Hai and said.
"So stop relying on those girls who don't understand you at all, come into my arms and become the adopted son of the Konoe family."
"As your mother, I will give you the best living and performing environment. I can also guarantee that no god in this country can harm you anymore. All you need to do is call me 'Mom' to get all of this."
Holy crap! This is like taking mother-son play from online to offline!
"A little girl who doesn't understand anything? What are you saying! And Grey, you wouldn't really... really..."
Rena Takigami clearly wavered at this moment, gripping Kiyono Hai's wrists tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that Kiyono Hai would immediately acknowledge her as his mother.
"Hmm, Ms. Ayaka, could you allow me some time to consider this?" Kiyono Hai's answer made Miss Fox so anxious that she almost let out a fox howl.
"Considering... Kiyono Hai, I thought you were a more principled person." These were the words spoken by Sayaka. "Given this development, shouldn't you have refused outright? Do you really want to be this old woman's pet?"
"Because the conditions offered by Ms. Ayaka are indeed very generous, such as pets... If I really intend to join the Konoe family, given my terrible personality, I will definitely aim for the head of the family."
"Grey-kun! My family is quite well-off too! If you want to be a rich young master..."
Rena Takigami was so anxious that she started talking nonsense. It was Kiyono Hai who pressed down on her fox-like head to stop her rambling, otherwise Sayaka really would have started stabbing people.
“Think about it, Kiyono-kun. I want to know why you’re hesitating,” Ms. Ayaka persisted.
The conditions she offered were indeed good enough. A wild, low-level deity like Qingye Hui would be more than willing to become an adopted son of the Konoe family; he would probably even be happy to come and bark at them like a dog.
"Of course, it's because I'm currently planning to... burn the entire Dream City to ashes with Sayaka-senpai."
When Kiyono Hai said those words, Sayaka, who usually exudes a gloomy aura, revealed an unusually cheerful smile.
"If I manage to defeat you then, Ms. Caihua, you... won't be worth my allegiance."
Konoe Ayaka surprisingly laughed when she heard Kiyono Hai's provocative words.
Kiyono Hai's personality is indeed very nasty, but in Ayaka's eyes, it's nasty in a way that's almost endearing.
"Is that so? Then I'll start by destroying the people you can rely on, Sayaka? I'll start with you!"
When Ayaka looked at Sayaka, her eyes turned completely dark, and at the same time, a pitch-black image projection appeared on her hand.
"Kiyono-kun, the 'Rebirth' setting you wrote is, to be honest, truly wonderful and brilliant, so brilliant that it's enough to bring countless players of Dream City back to the game."
"So... the official Dream City team wants to write the story of Rebirth themselves?" Kiyono Gray guessed at Ms. Ayaka's next move.
Kiyono Hai isn't afraid of Dream City's official update to the Rebirth version; on the contrary, such an update is beneficial to Shiina Akane, who is the future god.
Because the concept of a reborn being is inherently difficult to develop into a children's story.
“We have no such intention; on the contrary, I will help you with your publicity.”
As she spoke, a large number of video recordings suddenly appeared in Ms. Konoe's hand.
These video clips are a compilation of stories that took place at the Kotsubaki Inn over the past month, starting from when Yukishima met her youngest daughter, Haruka, and began her efforts to save her.
"These gameplay videos, if edited separately, could become great story material. I'll be releasing that material soon. Also, didn't you guys produce a corresponding magical girl anime series? What's it called...?"
"Puella Magi Madoka Magica," Kiyono Hai said directly.
During this month, Kiyono Hai didn't just sit idly by. He took on the role of screenwriter and director, working with the idols of 21Rain to film the first three episodes of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" in its original form.
However, in order to cooperate with the Snow Island in concealing the existence of the Reborn, Kiyono Hai suppressed these three episodes and did not officially broadcast them on television or online channels.
"Puella Magi Madoka Magica? What an innocent and romantic name. Since your show has been selected by Tongli TV, why not stop waiting and release it as soon as possible? Otherwise, we might choose another show to replace it."
So, there really wasn't any way to delay any longer?
The logic behind Ms. Ayaka's destruction of Sayaka through the means of publicly reborn beings is actually easy to understand: every Blade of Disorder actually originates from the power of Sayaka, the world-destroying witch.
If the number of players who want to obtain the Blade of Disorder increases, Sayaka will inevitably have more and more power flowing to the Dream City, until most of her power is restricted by the Dream City.
But what Kiyono Hai is more worried about is Yukishima's situation after the existence of the Reborn is made public.
"Then I'll accept your challenge."
Kiyono Hai doesn't plan to delay any longer and is preparing to release the first three episodes of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" soon, and take this opportunity to reveal the existence of the Reborn to all players of the Dream City.
"You'd better pray that Dream City... can withstand the baptism of 'Witch's Night'."
Qingye Hui could already foresee... that the most terrifying and extreme player conflict in Dream City since its launch was about to unfold, and that the evil dragons guarding the princess would bare their most terrifying fangs and devour anyone who harmed those they cherished.
Chapter 85. A Special Film Screening
In a game-themed open-air restaurant located in Ginza, Tokyo.
A guild called 'Spark Alliance' is holding a victory celebration.
The guild 'Spark' is also the dominant guild in this country in the game "Supreme Stars".
Unlike the Black Sword Knights, who are a normal player guild focused on conquering various 'anomaly dungeons' in the Sacred Stars and excavating the treasures buried within the stars.
Spark Alliance is a guild organization focused on 'grid-based' and 'coloring games'.
In short, the players of this guild are keen to conquer the major star sectors and regions of the Holy Stars and bring them under their rule.
This is also one of the unique gameplay features of the Sacred Stars. In a vast and boundless space map, players can establish their own countries and gradually erode the surrounding forces through war.
"Damn it! After three months of non-stop work, we finally took over the Trak Sector! We've given those damned bastards a defeat!"
"Although we have captured the Titan Fortress in the Trak Space Corridor, we cannot let our guard down... those guys could launch a counterattack at any time."
The leader of the Starfire Alliance reminded the guild members, who were celebrating, not to relax too much.
"Isn't there a one-week cooldown period for attacks? Let's take a break, guild master."
"Aren't you guys on vacation right now? And don't you usually just stay home and play video games on your vacations too?"
The president of the Starfire Alliance has the game ID Night Voyager, but his real name is Shimazu Sousuke.
As the president of the Spark Alliance, the real-life Shimazu Sousuke is a disheveled man with a weary air about him, as if he is tired of the secular world.
"It depends on the game! We were playing against those guys in the Sacred Stars for the past three months, and we were almost sick of it! How about we switch to another game during the break?"
Just as the group members were making a fuss... a woman with a single ponytail came out of the kitchen carrying a large pile of food.
Bai Yan, the vice president of the Starfire Alliance, is also the owner of this restaurant... Judging from her demeanor, she seems to be an energetic girl.
Qingye Hui also had a strong impression of this Miss Baiyan, because she was the only female player among the many players of "Rose Kingdom" who had never gone crazy for Shanor.
