"Misunderstanding?" Kiana's expression immediately fell. "Why? I clearly..."
"I was wrong!" Kiana quickly brought over the snacks after admitting her mistake readily. She kept only a quarter of them for herself, tears welling in her eyes. "Please keep your change." Momo smiled and bowed slightly as he handed the change to Mei. "Welcome back next time." Mei and Bronya nodded politely in response, but Kiana remained unmoved. As she left the store, she turned back and made a face at Momo. What kind of superficial friends are these? These are superficial friends. After seeing the trio off, Momo sighed and then picked up his phone to look for a job. After browsing through the vast sea of options for a few minutes, Momo gradually made up his mind. [It seems like I could try delivering food...] 1 "Ring ring."
"Welcome..." Mo Mo quickly looked up, his practiced business smile quickly turning into confusion. "Kiana?" Ha... A few minutes later, Kiana, panting as if she'd just done some strenuous exercise, rushed to Mo Mo, slammed a jar on the table, and clasped her hands together. "I'm so sorry, senpai!" "???" Mo Mo was stunned again. How did she change back now?
"I did that on purpose because I didn't want my friends to find out I was working here. You know I wanted to surprise them... You understand what I mean, right?" Kiana explained simply. "I really didn't mean anything by it, please don't take it to heart, senior. As compensation, I'll buy you a drink!" "Ah, I see. It's alright, it's alright, I understand." Having understood the whole story, Mo Mo nodded knowingly and pulled Yi Layao forward; he was indeed a little thirsty.
"I knew you were so understanding, hehe. I'll head back now. I sneaked out like this." "Go on, it wouldn't be good if you got caught, but I won't mind." Kiana waved to Mo Mo and turned to leave. "I'll treat you to something next time." By the time she finished speaking, Kiana had completely disappeared. "That's great, what a surprise." Mo Mo picked up his drink, opened it, unscrewed the tab, and drank it. He sighed. "Hmm, orange Fanta is definitely the best."

16. In Canghai City's "core" daily life, legendary deliveryman Mo Mo takes action.
Since Kiana became familiar with the store's operating procedures, Mo Mo no longer needed to spend all day in the store partnering with her. He could use the remaining time to find another job to supplement his income, significantly increasing his monthly earnings. In these times when "side hustles" are increasingly difficult to earn, Mo Mo had no choice but to squeeze himself a little harder. After several interviews, Mo Mo finally got his second job, becoming a proud new delivery driver. Today was his first day on the job. The weather was fine, sunny turning cloudy – a perfect day for deliveries. He wondered if Kiana would be okay working alone in the store. But regardless, Mo Mo had transferred all his skills to her in this short time, so there shouldn't be any problems. Incidentally, after spending more time together, Mo Mo realized that although Qi Ya would occasionally show a silly and dazed side, she was mostly quite reliable, quite different from the pure-blooded paramecium image he had in mind. Indeed, everything should be judged by the actual product. [I still think that spending this time on live streaming would definitely earn more than I do now.] The system persistently suggested, [Mo Zai, are you really not considering it? After becoming famous, you can just lie on a pile of money and count it, isn't that much more comfortable than working hard for a month?] [Aren't you annoying? I've told you so many times, I absolutely will not do it!] Mo Mo righteously refused, [Don't even think about selling your body.] Putting aside everything else, just imagining himself saying "I'm so cute, please give me money" gave Mo Mo goosebumps. It would definitely become a black history. Besides, this system's unusual insistence on persuading me to take this job suggests it might have some unspeakable motives. It's more reliable to just be a delivery driver. [Fine, I won't force you, delivery it is.] Seeing Mo Mo's unyielding attitude, the system had no choice but to give up. [Then what's with your little electric scooter?]
"[What's going on?]" Mo Mo patted the box on the back seat of the car and said matter-of-factly, "[How am I supposed to deliver food without a vehicle? Run? Do you want me to have my leg amputated after a few days?]" In a place as big as Canghai City, without a vehicle, the delivery guys would probably be so rich they'd question their existence. "[Where's your Xilinka?]" the system still couldn't resist grumbling, "[Shouldn't we be using our resources wisely at this time?]" "[Using the power of the Herrscher of the Void to deliver food, you really know how to think.]" Mo Mo curled his lip in disdain, "[Stop thinking about these underhanded methods. I won't go along with you. Relying on external forces is too low-purity.]" "[Purity? Is that stuff even useful?]" the system chimed in, "[Fine, don't use it then. I don't care about you. Just don't blame me when you're exhausted. I'm not taking the blame for that.]" 1. [Hmph.] Mo Mo snorted coldly and hopped on the company-issued electric scooter. The vest he wore prominently displayed the number "4396" on the back. Although he was slightly curious about whether the organization actually had 4396 delivery riders, the orders waiting to be delivered were currently attracting Mo Mo's attention more.
"Hmm, this is how it is here... and then where to go... Okay, I think I understand." After creating a virtual map in his mind, Mo Mo started the engine. [Pfft.] [What's wrong with you now?] [Nothing, just thinking about how you used to ride a motorcycle, and now you're on a small electric scooter.] The system laughed unrestrainedly. [Maybe next time you'll be riding a bicycle.] [Don't judge my new mount with your superficial perspective.] Mo Mo said matter-of-factly. [From today onwards, it's called Triangle Tracker II!] [Such a simple and straightforward naming method. I'm looking forward to the birth of the third generation. I really want to see how long this one can live.] [...]
"How dare you talk like that?" Mo Mo rolled his eyes, twisted the handlebars, and the engine roared to life again. "I still have a bunch of orders to deliver. The legend of Mo Mo, the legendary deliveryman, is only just beginning today!" A smile played on his lips as he slammed on the gas pedal. "Boom!" A deafening roar exploded in Mo Mo's ears. "?" Mo Mo was startled and glanced at his scooter. "This thing is so powerful? That sound really scared me." "I said you..." A hint of helplessness could be heard in the system's voice. "Look up." After doing as the system instructed, Mo Mo saw that the large screen on the towering building, usually used for advertising, was now black, displaying only two large, blood-red characters: "Air Raid!"
"Whoosh whoosh—the piercing sirens blared incessantly. The surrounding pedestrians readily understood the meaning, quickly changing direction and rushing towards the nearest shelter. [Mo Zai. Who said Canghai City was a peaceful city a few chapters ago?] [I don't know, it wasn't me anyway, go ask the narrator.] Mo Mo's mood plummeted instantly. [Why is my luck so bad?] Of all things to do, just when I'm about to start working, you tell me troublemakers are here? Although I haven't seen the culprit yet, Mo Mo can still guess what happened. It's probably another horned monster that appeared out of nowhere and is about to cause chaos. Since Mo Mo came to Canghai City, several similar incidents have occurred, and of all times, I've run into this one. Damn it. [What do we do now?]" "What should we do? Of course, we should hurry and go to safety. Look, everyone around us has already run away." The system said matter-of-factly, "Wait until those girls have resolved their issues before coming out." "What about my orders..." Mo Mo turned to look at the box on the back of the car with a complicated expression. "Oh dear, what time is it to worry about this? Even if you deliver them, no one will accept them. You'd better hide as soon as possible, or it will be too late."
...
Mo Mo silently glanced at the now empty street. In a world constantly facing the threat of horned monsters, everyone had long since developed the habit of evacuating immediately, and in the blink of an eye, they had all completed their evacuation. [No!] A resolute glint flashed in Mo Mo's eyes. [If I backed down over something so small, I wouldn't need to do this anymore.] [Hey, you're pretty stubborn.] [Sorry, high combat power really does mean you can do whatever you want.] Mo Mo put on his helmet, fearlessly looking ahead, [These lousy bastards think they can stop me from making money? Don't even think about it! If you're so capable, bring me a few Herrschers!] Several horned monsters had already appeared in his line of sight, baring their fangs and claws, blocking his path and acting as living obstacles. Hmph! Mo's delivery service, mission accomplished, charge!] He stepped on the gas again, lifted the front of the car, and with the roar of the engine, Mo Mo charged forward without hesitation.
"The Helios has arrived above the target location. Valkyrie Squad, prepare for airdrop." A light ship hovered above Canghai City, its hatches wide open, revealing the area ravaged by the Horned Beasts. "Hmph, finally, it's time for me to show my skills." "Don't act rashly. Remember to follow orders at all times, understand, Kiana? Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of hurt when you get back." "Don't worry, Himeko-sensei, Bronya and I will keep an eye on Kiana." "Mei."
"I have a lot of confidence in Mei and Bronya. The danger level this time is not high. It should be a good opportunity for you to increase your combat experience. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of unexpected situations. So if you encounter a situation that you cannot handle, do not be reckless. Request rescue in time. I will be ready to go down and support you at any time."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going!"

17. Cherry Blossom Scattering: The Power of the Strongest Shrine Maiden
"Hey! On the streets now ravaged by war, I unleashed another barrage of firepower, punches, and kicks at them, showcasing the combat techniques of 'Kaslana's Fighting Style.' Hmm, that must be it."
"This is my home turf, you know." While manipulating the three horned monsters with ease, Kiana didn't forget her duty. "Quickly finish the battle, Kiana. Try to avoid being surrounded by multiple horned monsters. Even if you split up, be ready to regroup with your teammates at any time." "Got it!" Kiana's eyes narrowed as she sidestepped the sleeping attack leaping from the inner monster. Facing the stunned monster, Kiana unleashed a kick, "Harm!" A giant cat-claw tiger appeared from the void and slammed down on the monster, killing the already weakened creature instantly. The remaining two tank-class monsters were also swiftly and decisively dealt with by Kiana, who had activated her ultimate move, leaving them as two corpses. "Well done, Kiana. You've improved significantly compared to before." A voice of praise came from the other end of the headset. For me, this level of victory was inevitable. Standing on the flat street, Kiana proudly crossed her arms.
"You're really not gay. Okay, now that you've finished here, hurry up and go talk to Mei and Bronya."
"What's wrong, Mei?" Kiana tensed up instantly upon hearing the slightly broken voice. "Has something happened to Mei?"
"Find Himeko-sensei or Himeko Shaoqi!" The voice on the other end of the earpiece corrected Kiana's mistake immediately. "There's a unit near your coordinates that's constantly moving. It's probably a civilian who failed to evacuate. The operation has been temporarily changed. Go and rescue him quickly!" "Roger, roger." Kiana breathed a sigh of relief and responded twice. As long as Mei wasn't in trouble, everything was fine. As for that failed-to-evacuate inverted egg... "Himeko-sister, which direction is that inverted egg you mentioned now?" "Didn't you see it? It's moving towards your location. It should be in your field of vision by now." "You're right... I've already seen it." Kiana's lips twitched. Looking into the distance, she could see a person riding something, accelerating towards her. Behind him were... 1, 2, 3... Oh, three Chariot-class, one Knight-class, and one Temple-class! And a few Assault-class too? Did you escape from a Horned Beast's den?! "What's wrong, Kiana? Answer me!" "I..."
"Tell Mei for me," Kiana said, taking a deep breath. "Tell her I love her."
"Rumble- [System, check how many orders I haven't delivered yet!] Mo Dan was fully focused on driving, slamming on the accelerator and pushing the speed to its limit, as if driving the small electric car at a speed it didn't belong to. [Let Lao Ming...] The system voice paused, then rang out again, [Oh, just one more! Come on, Mo Dan, victory is just ahead!]"
"No problem!" Mo Mo chuckled to himself, swerving the front of the car to dodge a heavy punch from the tank-class villain Lulu. If no one had witnessed it firsthand, they would never have imagined how Mo Mo managed to deliver the takeout while being relentlessly attacked by a bunch of Honkai-class villains.
Of course, the most direct consequence was that a long line of horned monsters had formed behind Mo Mo. If R tried to brake even slightly, he would be overwhelmed by the horned monster horde. He had originally planned to check if any of the undead had managed to evacuate and needed his help, but Mo Mo discovered that the people here had an incredibly strong sense of evacuation; he hadn't seen a single person. [Besides you, you idiot, who else could it be?] [And... oh crap, why is someone blocking the road?!] And why does this person look so familiar, Kiana! As the distance closed, Mo Mo finally saw clearly that the person blocking the road was Kiana, wearing the Valkyrie Ranger armor, and behind her, the horned monster corpses blocking the entire road. [What am I holding?]
Mo Mo couldn't help but let out a gruff "O". He seemed to hear the mournful cry of the Triangular Tracker II beneath him. This was far too difficult for it.
"No choice, I'll risk it!" Mo Mo stomped on the accelerator, making one wonder if he was going to crush it. "Give me your hand!" Kiana was startled, only hearing the whooshing sound of wind passing by her ears. When she came to her senses, she had already been pulled into that seemingly frail car.
"Hold on tight!" "What the heck?!"
"Ugh, what the hell—" Mo Mo roared, lifting the front of the vehicle and driving relentlessly onto the ramp made of corpses piled up at the corner. The small electric scooter carrying the two of them traced a perfect parabola in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Despite the intense tremors, Mo Mo managed to maintain his balance with all his might, and still did not open the hatch!
After a moment of dizziness, Kiana finally recognized the guy she'd only met once. The convenience store clerk who'd been staring at Mei! "Is this the time to worry about that?" Mo Mo said without turning his head. "I'm almost at my breaking point! To be precise, my car is about to give out."
"I'll stop them! You escape to a safe place and get out of there!" Kiana, putting aside her worries, assessed the situation. "You?" Mo Mo's tone held a hint of distrust. "Can you handle it?" "Don't underestimate me!" Kiana retorted, her eyebrows furrowing. "If we get caught, I can't guarantee I can protect you!" "Fine, then you go!" Mo Mo said without hesitation. Kiana's expression froze; she hadn't expected this guy to be so decisive in selling her out, but she quickly regained her composure. "Anyway, you run!" "Understood!"
After a single response, Mo Mo felt a lightness in the car. Kiana jumped out without a word. "Wait, is she really betraying her teammate?" ["Sell my ass! I have to transform somewhere she can't see me before I go to rescue her!"] Mo Mo, driving the small electric scooter with one hand, pulled a card from thin air.
"Bang
However, just as he was about to insert the card into the driver, a figure leaped over his head and fell to the ground in front of him. It was Kiana, who had just been determined to buy time for Mo Mo's escape. But the effect didn't seem to be as expected. "I'm really fed up!" Mo Mo muttered under his breath.
Just a few feet away from running over Kiana, Mo Mo immediately turned the car around, throwing it off and jumping out himself. "Boom!"
Thus, less than two hours after ascending the throne, Triangle Tracker II announced his arrival. "Cough cough cough." Mo Mo coughed twice and quickly helped Kiana up. "Hey, are you alright!"
"It's alright, cough cough." Kiana replied listlessly. The fake slap sent the object flying, rolling several times on the ground. The mere sight of her covered in dust and dirt was enough to show that her constitution was extraordinary. She repeated herself, "You run! I'll hold them off. That last slap sent the fish-tracking device flying somewhere. Now we're really going to capsize in the gutter." "And you'll continue to block the way, right?" Mo Hai was already confused whether this kid was trying to make things worse or not. "I beg you, please don't force yourself." Looking back, she saw that the hordes of horned monsters were approaching, and there were several of those big ones alone. No, as a member of the Kaslana family, she wouldn't abandon others and run away alone!
I didn't let you escape alone. [This stubbornness is really familiar, isn't it?] [You little brat, are you implying something again?] "Since that's how it is, then there's nothing I can do."
With the last deal ruined, there was no point in continuing to run away. What needed to be done was to make these clueless bastards realize the seriousness of the situation! Mo Mo bent down and picked Kiana up without saying a word.
No, to be precise, he lifted her up. "Hey! What are you planning to do!" Kiana suddenly had a bad feeling. Despite struggling, she still couldn't break free from this seemingly ordinary guy's grasp. "Close your eyes," Mo Mo said, lifting Kiana up at the charging horde of enemies, "+ seconds, no, just five seconds is enough."
"Ready? Here we go!" Mo Mo suddenly exerted force and threw Kiana out with all his might.
"Kiana, you tongue!" "Hey, wait! Waaaaa!" Within just a few minutes, Kiana had experienced the feeling of soaring through the sky twice, especially this time with all sorts of vicious monsters beneath her. "Right now, this card is definitely more suitable." Momo inserted the card he had drawn into the driver. "Here we go!" Kamen Ride
A slender figure emerged from the radiance, gripping the hilt of the sword at her waist, bowing slightly and parting her cherry-like lips.
“散
The cherry-blossom-colored figure transformed into a streak of light in an instant, rushing towards the horde of horned beasts that was already upon them. Smoothly gliding through every gap, it finally pierced through the entire horde. Then, it sheathed its sword, drew a card, and stretched out its hand in front of it.
He caught Kiana perfectly as she fell from the sky. A series of dull thuds echoed behind Mo Mo as she crashed to the ground. It all happened in less than three seconds.

18. Victory, MVP: Mo Mo
Three seconds. In the vastness of the world, that's enough time to accomplish many things, but to eliminate so many horned monsters in such a short time is no easy feat. At least for Kiana, it's a feat she can't even imagine. But now, the unvarnished scene is staring her in the face. The massive figures crashing to the ground, the horned monsters that were baring their fangs and looking ferocious just moments before, are now corpses on the ground, silently confirming this unbelievable fact. The person before her has done it.
Using methods she didn't even know. For Kiana, it was all just a matter of a few dizzying moments in the sky; she hadn't even had time to see clearly how he did it. The last image imprinted on her retina was a cherry-colored figure weaving back and forth among the horned monsters. If she looked closely, she could even see a pair of slender... rabbit ears? But now his head was completely empty, making Kiana wonder if it was a hallucination caused by her dizziness. Or rather, her current appearance standing amidst the pile of monster corpses seemed more like a hallucination. [How was it? My operation was pretty good, right?] Mo Mo's first thought was to boast to the system. [Well, considering your usual level.] The system gave an ambiguous answer: "[After all, this is the first time using Sakura Empire cards in actual combat, and only 'technique' was used... Although the enemy's strength wasn't particularly high, the sheer number of enemies compensated for this. In summary, it's a decent result, but there's still room for improvement.]" This time, the system unexpectedly gave a serious evaluation, leaving Mo Mo feeling somewhat bewildered. Based on his understanding of the system, the correct way to approach it should be: 1. "You can be so proud after bullying a bunch of weaklings? No wonder you're Minato's brother." 2. "Pah, seeing your smug look disgusts me." 3. "Ugh, 6..." "You're really something else, I suggest you go down in history." The system was neither foul-mouthed nor sarcastic, it was so unbearable today, was it infected by a virus? [However, the action was quite quick, this little girl probably didn't see what you did.] The system continued, [But I suggest you think carefully about what excuse you should use to explain why a delivery person like you has such strong combat power, otherwise, trouble will follow one after another.] The system's suggestion was quite correct, but compared to those whose minds are like a ball of yarn, Kiana was much easier to deal with. Mo Mo firmly believed this. Thinking of this, Mo Mo immediately asked, "Are you alright?" "I'm fine." Not yet fully recovered from the shock of the scattered corpses, Kiana answered somewhat blankly, but she quickly realized her current situation. - One hand went under her armpit, - One hand rested under her legs. If it still seems unclear, using a more fitting name should make it much easier to understand.
"?" Not hearing that last word from Kiana, Mo Mo lowered his head in slight confusion. Then he saw a fist gradually enlarging. "Pervert!!!"
With a furious shout filled with mixed emotions, Mo Mo's face was struck squarely by a Rising Dragon Punch. He felt his nose almost become a flat surface against his face, and as he was sent flying, he also dropped Kiana from his arms. With a "bang," Mo Mo crashed into a pile of monster corpses. Kiana warily watched Mo Mo lying motionless in the monster carcasses, her hand pressed against her heaving chest as she breathed heavily. It was far too dangerous. [Wow, perfect hit, knock out!] The system clicked its tongue in amazement. [That was really ruthless, incredible! How are you, Mo Mo? Can you still breathe? If you're alive, give me a shout.] [Still...still holding up.] Lying face down on the ground, Mo Mo's voice trembled slightly in the system's mind. Good heavens, his nose was almost shattered. Where did he learn that? [It seems your combat abilities in non-transformed states still need improvement.] "Nonsense, otherwise why would I need to transform?" Mo Mo rubbed his swollen nose, shook his head, and stood up. "I should say, as expected of Kaslana 0? This is really awesome." Scanning his surroundings, Mo Mo noticed Kiana frantically pacing around, seemingly searching for something. "Then..." Mo Mo uttered a sound. "!" Kiana turned her head immediately, taking two steps back warily. "Is there anything I can help you with? Is she being disliked? But that was clearly an uncontrollable event. Are you just going to watch her crash to the ground? [I mean, you don't have to embarrass her. Is it really necessary to do this just to show off your wealth?] [That's even more unacceptable. I don't want anyone to see me transformed.] Facing the system's question, Mo Mo said matter-of-factly, "No need!" Kiana shook her head decisively and bent down to search around again. It seemed she was being disliked. Mo Mo lowered his head and sighed, then something hanging on the corpse of the Yongkai Beast caught his attention. "Are you looking for this?" Mo Mo picked it up and asked Kiana. ...Yes, yes, yes, that's it!" Kiana quickly stepped forward, snatched the item from Mo Mo's hand, and put it on her ear. "Kiana! Can you hear me! Answer me if you can! Damn it! Don't let anything happen!" Hearing the incessant barrage of voices on the other end of the earpiece, Kiana quickly spoke up. "Himeko... Sister, stop shouting, I'm fine." "Kiana?" The anxious voice on the other end of the earpiece paused slightly, not even noticing the strange pause in Kiana's address. "What happened just now? What happened?" "Well... during the battle just now—I accidentally dropped this, and I just found it now," Kiana explained guiltily. Although she was instantly killed, and although she didn't find it herself, it was alright.
"And then? Were all the Kaiju dealt with?" Hearing that Kiana was alright, Himeko breathed a sigh of relief. "What about that ordinary passerby? Is he safe and sound? An ordinary passerby? An ordinary passerby who wiped out so many Kaiju with -0 energy? If that's considered ordinary, then the Kaiju should just get off this planet a long time ago..." Kiana was about to speak when she saw a figure flash before her eyes. Mo Mo instantly appeared in front of her, raising his hand with a friendly smile. His mouth opened and closed, and although no sound came out, Kiana could still barely understand his meaning. "Don't mention anything about me, or else..." Although he omitted the rest of the sentence, his slightly waving right hand had already shown his attitude. "He's fine, not injured." Looking at the fist that could easily deal with the Kaiju (Kiana's perspective) waving back and forth in front of her, Kiana swallowed and naturally chose to leave.
"That's good. If you hadn't replied, I would have had Mei and Bronya collect your corpse." Unaware of the odd tone in Kiana's voice, Himeko continued, "Since everything's alright, hurry and meet up with them. This emergency has been completely resolved. Leave the cleanup to the other departments. We need to go back to the academy." After Kiana responded, there was no more sound from the other end of the earpiece. Mo Mo nodded in satisfaction; Kiana was quite sensible. Glancing at the earpiece on Kiana's ear, Mo Mo remembered Kiana's earlier plea at the shop that she didn't want anyone to know she was secretly working. "Ahem, since there's nothing else for me now, I'll be going too." Mo Mo walked to the side and picked up the small electric scooter, now a pile of metal. He needed to go back and report to his family. To prove his feat. He could talk about anything else at the shop next time. "Hey, wait..." Kiana called out to Mo Mo's retreating figure. Who was it? "So it really is 0 after all?" "Just a passerby... pretending to be something special but actually just an ordinary delivery guy." Mo Mo waved without turning around, then paused slightly, pulled something from his pocket, and tossed it into Kiana's hand. "Since I saved you once, remember to patronize the business, okay?" Kiana silently flipped through the small piece of paper in her hand, her heart pounding. Wasn't this... the shop where she worked?

19. Kiana? Kiana
Carrying his wrecked electric scooter, now a complete scrap metal, along the potholed streets, Mo Mo felt no unease. He might be comfortable now, but that didn't mean the job was over. On his first day at work, he'd wrecked the company car like this; Mo Mo felt like his arteries were being slashed. He could only hope his boss would forgive him this time, considering it was an unavoidable accident and his unparalleled work ethic. [Yo, yo yo yo, scared? Coward? Why weren't you this petty when you were showing off earlier?] The system's voice couldn't hide its schadenfreude. [Swept away so many monsters in one go, wow, so cool.]... Mo Mo took a deep breath.
As the crisis subsided, the refugees filed out of their shelters, continuing their lives as usual. In a world constantly on the verge of collapse, such minor upheavals were utterly insignificant. So insignificant that they could be forgotten in the blink of an eye. Momo, carrying a piece of scrap metal, naturally attracted a lot of attention, but he remained unfazed. Whether he could defy fate depended on it. "Jie Li Song Xin Lian---" [Phone?] The music and vibration from his pocket made Momo pause. To his shame, he only had three people in his contacts. Besides his two bosses, there was only Kiana, whom he had recently added. If you had to explain why... Kallen, Sirin, Bella, and Nefert Seven all didn't have cell phones. Taking out his recently purchased secondhand phone, Momo glanced at the caller ID. Just as he expected. Putting down the scrap metal, Momo answered the phone. Hello. "Senior, it's me." Kiana's voice came from the other end of the phone. Since she called first, there shouldn't be so many things to worry about. "I think I concealed it well enough, junior?" "Absolutely no problem, as expected of senior. "Not being discovered is... But I didn't expect Kiana to be a Valkyrie, it really scared me." Although he already knew, Mo Mo still felt he should appropriately express his surprise. "You're the one who's really scary, senior, I was stunned." "It's alright, I do some training sometimes." Mo Mo mumbled a few words incoherently, then quickly changed the subject, "By the way, what's up with calling me?" "Nothing, didn't I say I was going to treat you to something, senior? So I wanted to ask when you're free, I didn't have a chance to ask earlier." "A treat?" Mo Mo perked up immediately. "Oh dear, look how embarrassed I am! Everyone works hard for money, right? We don't have much cash on hand, why spend so much... What are we going to eat?" [D District, what happened to not bowing down for a pittance?] [I already said it depends on who's treating.] A strange silence came from the other end of the phone, before Mo Mo finally couldn't hold back and said, "Are you coming or not?" "Yes, yes, I'm free anytime." "Then how about... tomorrow night?"
"No problem," I'll call you when the time comes. You can look forward to it a little, senior... By the way, please remember not to tell anyone around you what just happened. I still want to continue living a peaceful life. "No problem, it's nothing." Kiana answered very decisively, 'I will never tell them.' Yes, I will never tell them... Standing atop the towering building, Kiana watched the small ship named Helios gradually depart with a complicated expression. Behind her, several horned beast corpses lay scattered. "That's all for now, I have something to do, I'll hang up now, bye, senior." After saying goodbye, Kiana hung up the phone. Closer, there wasn't much time left before it started. Putting her phone in her pocket, Kiana, who was already feeling the loneliness of being at such a height, was about to turn and leave when she saw the figure leaning against the edge of the rooftop. "It's been a while." "Nefit Seven smiled and waved at Kiana. "Miss Traitor, how have you been lately?" "None of your business." Kiana's brow twitched slightly. "And when did I become a traitor?" "From the moment we parted ways, you were permanently removed from my ranks as captain," Nefit Seven said righteously. "Although I want to congratulate you... we beat you to it." "It was all your doing behind the scenes." Kiana smiled, but her forehead was creased with worry. "This was all your own choice. Miss Kiana, we only provided you with clues." "All wrong clues?" "How would you know if they were wrong if you didn't try?" Kiana looked at Nefit Seven's self-righteous expression and wanted to punch him in the face, but she held back. "But congratulations, your choice was correct this time. So, how does it feel to get what you wanted?" Kiana remained silent and did not answer. “However, I hope you can follow the rule of first come, first served, Miss Kiana. As the later arrival, please refrain from interfering until the acting leader's plan is completed. This way, everyone can keep to themselves and maintain a peaceful coexistence,” Nefert Seven continued. “Although we have long since parted ways, I truly feel reluctant to take action. Please don't put me in a difficult position.” “Then if…” Miss Kiana, you should know in your heart who your current master truly trusts, shouldn't you? Is this really necessary?
“That’s the advantage of being one step ahead.” Nefit Seven’s face clearly showed a hint of smugness. “But don’t worry, please continue your performance. We won’t expose you. Of course, this is an agreement based on our mutual commitment.” “Should I thank you?” “If you would.” “Thank you, and then, move aside.” Kiana waved her hand impatiently. “You’re blocking my way. I’m in a hurry to get back to work.” “That’s really intrusive.” Nefit Seven also made way for the only passage, gesturing for her to proceed. “Please, and best of luck with your next move, Miss Kiana.”
Kiana, as if she hadn't heard Nefit Seven's words, strode past him and stepped onto the descending stairs. Unperturbed by this "rude" attitude, Nefit Seven walked over the scattered carcasses of horned beasts and strolled to where Kiana had stood. Looking down at the tiny, ant-like figures below, he felt the gentle breeze brush against his face. "The wind has changed direction," he remarked. Though only slightly.

20. Kiana the convenience store girl, Kiana the food delivery girl
A large, charred piece of iron was slung from Mo Mo's shoulder and slammed to the ground with a dull thud. Only a vague outline of what it originally looked like was visible. "This...could it be..." The middle-aged man in front of Mo Mo frowned and adjusted his glasses. "Because a small accident happened." Mo Mo scratched his head sheepishly. "Boss, you know what happened, right? To finish delivering all the orders, Pi..." The middle-aged man sighed, shifting his gaze from the scrap metal. "Alright, after all, it's not your fault. Who can blame you for this world..."
Thank you, boss!
"Your spirit is commendable, please keep up the good work." The middle-aged man patted Mo Mo on the shoulder. "Our shop needs people like you, but you still need to be careful. Remember, life is the most important thing." "Understood!" "Then you can go home now. I'll allocate another spare car for you. Just pick it up when you come to work tomorrow." "Got it, thank you, boss. Goodbye, boss!" Oops! Mo! Don't forget to carry this piece of scrap metal out!" "Got it!" Mo Mo quickly turned back after leaving the office, picked it up again, and left a few black fragments on the ground. [You escaped this time.] [Luckily, the boss is still understanding.] Mo Mo breathed a sigh of relief. [After all, it was beyond our control.] However, similar accidents seem to be happening more and more frequently lately, making people vaguely uneasy, as if something big is about to happen. It's coming soon, isn't it, the Moon Throne? Carrying a large wad of scrap metal around the corner, Mo Mo's gaze inadvertently pierced through the dark gaps in the pile, and he seemed to see someone hurrying past him. He stopped, turned around in confusion, and only saw a corner of red clothing. [What's wrong?] [Nothing, just a colleague.] Mo Mo shook his head and continued walking. [I must have been mistaken.] Kiana should either be at St. Freya Academy or working at the convenience store; how could she possibly be here? [Looks like you're not only a little off your head, but your eyes are probably a little off too. Damn it, Mo Mo, you better confess, what haven't you been doing lately? [Nonsense, you've been following me around the whole time, don't you know what I've been doing?] [Seems like it.]...Amidst the unheard chatter, Mo Mo walked further and further away from his boss's office. "Miss Kaslana, you're late again." The middle-aged boss looked up at the silver-haired figure panting as she entered the office, and said with displeasure, "Count how many times this has happened this month?" "I-I'm sorry." Kiana tugged at her red work jacket and quickly apologized, "You should know what happened just now, boss, right? After finally resolving the incident, I had to go back to St. Freya Academy to deal with the aftermath. It would be a miracle if I wasn't late." "Oh, I see. It's alright then." After hearing the explanation, the middle-aged boss nodded understandingly, "Do you know that one of your juniors didn't give up on his work even in this situation? Although I don't advocate such dangerous behavior, I hope you can learn from his responsible spirit, Miss Kaslana." "Junior?" Kiana was taken aback. It really was that strange guy.
"That advertising card is still in my pocket." "Young people like that are rare these days," the middle-aged boss sighed. "By the way, you'd better hurry up and get going, don't waste any more time." "Okay, boss," Kiana muttered to herself, turning and leaving the office. Going to school, fighting monsters, and working all at the same time... life is tough.
"Life is tough." Mo Mo unscrewed the tab, tilted his head back, and gulped down a bottle, letting the icy liquid burst open in his mouth with a stimulating sensation. Not only did he have to work two jobs, but he also had to work as a masquerade rider on the roadside. It was truly a young age, yet he was burdened with responsibilities that didn't belong to him. [Mo Zai, you've changed. You've become extravagant, you don't even drink mineral water anymore.] [From tap water to spring water and finally to beverages, what does this represent? That's right, it represents an improvement in the quality of life.] With his wallet bulging, he naturally felt more confident. Sitting on a bench by the roadside, Mo Mo calmly watched the crowds coming and going in front of him, feeling the atmosphere of the bustling city as the lights came on. Although it always seemed out of place for him. He originally thought that the recent improvement in public security was why he couldn't earn extra money, but he didn't expect that those guys had changed their appearance times, no wonder he hadn't run into them. What a bunch of clever little devils. [And then they stayed again today.] [Everyone dies eventually, and some people need a little help.] 1. Of course, Mo Mo is very careful with his actions, so there's no need to worry about that at all. Stuffing the empty drink can into the nearby trash can, Mo Mo stood up from Nagasaki and stretched. Another fulfilling day. Before going back, he decided to buy something. Today, he indulged himself a little and joined the crowd, eventually arriving at a convenience store. "Welcome!" The clerk, who had been playing on her phone at the counter, straightened up and looked towards the door upon hearing the voice. "Oh, it's you, senior." Upon seeing that it was Mo Mo, Kiana lazily slumped back down on the counter. "I'm a customer now, so show some respect!" Mo Mo retorted, picking up a basket and heading to the shelves, expertly taking one item after another. He finished shopping quickly and placed the basket in front of Kiana. "You really work hard, coming back to work even after returning to that academy." Feeling a sense of shared suffering, Mo Mo asked, "Can you handle this?"
Kiana paused slightly, then continued scanning the tags, saying casually, "It's alright, much easier than that guy who's busy delivering food. She's so tired." "Yeah, yeah, delivering food is hard work." Mo Mo nodded, quite "consciously" matching the description, then glanced at the wall behind Kiana covered in comics. "Hmm? Are you buying comics, senpai?" Noticing Mo Mo's gaze, Kiana asked casually. "For my sister. She's been asking for the latest volume of 'Houmu's Great Adventure' for days." Mo Mo sighed. "Is this comic really that good? Or is it supposed to be about attacking the inhabitants of the evil world?" "It's alright." Kiana commented indifferently, "Senpai, you have a sister? Oh, she must be very cute." "Of course, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's the cutest in the world, she's practically a little angel." However, Kiana's question carried a deeper meaning for Mo Mo. It's just that his own Kiana had absolutely no connection to this world. "You two siblings really have a good relationship." Kiana stuffed the items into a plastic bag one by one. 'Here, let's settle the bill, senior.' "After all, quite a few things have happened." Mo Mo replied vaguely, pulling out some recently acquired banknotes from his wallet. "Oh, and don't forget to add a comic book for me."
"Relax, relax." Kiana took out a comic book from the drawer beneath her and put it into a plastic bag.
"I bought this comic book, so I'll lend it to you for now, senior." Kiana took the money Mo Mo handed her and started making change.
"Is it okay?" "No problem, no problem, I've already watched it so many times." Kiana picked up the change and plastic bag and handed them to Mo Mo's arm, smiling generously, "Here you go."
"What's wrong, senpai?" Kiana was a little surprised by Mo Mo's sudden pause. "Nothing, just spaced out for a moment." Mo Mo forced a smile and took the bag from Kiana's hand. For a moment, Kiana's image gradually overlapped with her memory of solving the vandalism at noon today. But there seemed to be a strange sense of incongruity. "Are you too tired?" Kiana said, "Even if you have to work hard to earn money, you should still take care of yourself." "I take good care of myself." Shaking his head to shake off unrealistic thoughts, Mo Mo weighed the plastic bag in his hand. "Then I'll go home. Work hard, junior, see you tomorrow." "Be careful on the road, senpai." After seeing Mo Mo off, Kiana continued to lounge around, killing time. Her cheek pressed against the cold pull tab on the "forgotten" cash register, a feeling of clarity rushed into her mind.
"Sizzle." The familiar taste of lime soda wafted out as I unscrewed the tab. Some things, perhaps, don't need to be remembered.

21. On the eve of the "date", the whole family mobilized.
Yes, everything is ready.
"We can leave anytime." Mo Mo shook himself in front of the mirror a couple of times, finally nodding in satisfaction. [After all, it's our first date, so it's perfectly understandable to be a little serious.] [Yes, after all, it's our first time... what?] Mo Mo's hand, which was straightening his collar, paused. "It's normal, don't worry, I promise I won't look at you." [Oh, you're really something! What's there to be embarrassed about? It's just a date, so I won't be a third wheel. Okay, see how good I am to you.] The system continued, ["Remember to have fun—be a little more mature."] "No, she kindly invited me to dinner, how did you twist it like that? If she knew, she'd be so embarrassed." Mo Mo protested discontentedly.
He retorted, "[I don't even know if you're genuinely stupid or just plain dumb. Whatever, go ahead and do whatever you want. Eat, eat, eat until you die!]"
So what's with this tone of disappointment? With a slight pout, Mo Mo walked away from the mirror.
"My master, are you going out?" Nefit Seven put down his newspaper and asked Mo Mo. "Yes, it might take a while. Don't wait for me in the evening." Mo Mo walked to the entrance, took off his shoes, and then remembered something...
"Cirin, don't forget to do your homework! I'll check it when I get back." "Okay, I know." Sirin (who was intently flipping through the comic book she had just received on the sofa) replied rather perfunctorily, "Hey, wrong, hehe."
[Mo Zai, I think we should buy something before going to the appointment.] [Buy something? What? Of course...] [If you keep talking, I'll leave you at home by myself.] Mo Mo gave the final ultimatum with a blank expression.
...The system finally went completely silent. "I'm going out!"
"Small on the road---" "Click, the door closed. Drink? Mo Mo went out because... At that time, Karen came out of the kitchen carrying a pot, glanced around the living room, and asked herself, "Is there still work at this hour?"
"Do you want to?" "No, no." Zong Fei shook his head calmly, continuing to read the newspaper as if nothing had happened, trying his best not to notice what was gradually...
Approaching the large pot, she said, "Master, he just went on a date." "Oh, a date, huh?" Karen nodded knowingly, then suddenly jerked her hand. The pot in her hand trembled and nearly spilled the contents.
"A date???! 1!" Nefert Seven, without batting an eye, shifted his position and sat on the other side. "What kind of date are you referring to? Is it that one?" Karen asked, slamming the pot on the table, splashing a few drops of murky liquid. "The master said it was a colleague from the shop where he works who wanted to treat him to dinner." Nefert Seven explained, "So we don't have to wait for him." "Oh, it's a colleague treating us to dinner." Karen breathed a sigh of relief. "What kind of person is she? Seven, do you know her?" "I remember she was a young and pretty girl." Nefert Seven stroked his chin, carefully "reviewing" the question, "Truly worthy of being..."
My master.
Karen paused again on her way to the kitchen. "Speaking of which, she has a bit of a relationship with you, Miss Karen," Nefit Seven added casually.
"What does this have to do with me?" Kallen turned her head, pointed to herself, and asked, "What do you mean? Her name is Kiana." Nefit Seven responded to Kallen's question, "Lynana, Kaslana."
“Kakakakaslana?” “Calm down, Miss Karen, Mr. Belt isn’t here right now.” Zong Feit Seven pressed his hands down, signaling Karen to calm down. 'Should I say it’s like…?'
"That Kiab is a descendant of your family from 500 years ago, except that the Kallen of this world has long since passed away."
“I see.” Kallen nodded. “Miss Kallen, are you concerned?” Nefert Seven asked meaningfully. “Concerned about what?” Kallen fidgeted slightly, twisting the end of her long braid. Nefert Seven smiled knowingly and continued, “I plan to go and see for myself. Miss Kallen, would you like to get up and check?”
"Then... count me in?" Although this behavior might not seem very honorable, it would also be a good opportunity to see what the Kaslana family members would be like 500 years from now.
Isn't this a perfect opportunity to showcase your style?
