Chapter 24: Page 24

However, there is a big problem before her now.

The store manager who could solve her problems was not very interested in the power of the Herrscher of the Sky.

Or it should be said that the store manager was like an outsider who was detached from the world and had little interest in anything in the world.

Out of kindness, the store manager temporarily took me in under the pretext of repairing the damage.

However, considering the relationship between strangers, doing this much is the most he can do.

Although the store manager had good intentions, Kiana could tell that he didn't intend to keep her in the store forever, and there was no place for her in this cafe.

Thinking of this, Kiana suddenly felt a little depressed for some reason.

——Although today was the first time she met the store manager, she had a strange feeling.

The relationship between her and the store manager could never be just that of strangers.

That strange feeling had no reason, but it was real. It was as if the store manager had known her for a long time, but the relationship that was supposed to exist was abruptly severed by something unreasonable.

Therefore, compared to "getting to know each other from scratch", the relationship between her and the store manager is more like "repairing a damaged relationship."

"…Sigh, have I been soaking in it for too long? Why do I suddenly have such unfounded thoughts?"

When she thought of this, Kiana suddenly shook her head violently, with a confused expression mixed with distress on her face.

She suddenly stood up, and hot water rushed out from the edge of the bathtub. The sudden outflow of water pushed the washbasin on the ground away.

After drying her body and blowing her hair, Kiana changed into loose pajamas and walked out of the bathroom barefoot.

"Well... although the height difference is only a little bit, this size seems a bit too big for you..."

At this moment, a voice with some thoughtful meaning came to her ears.

Kiana was stunned for a moment and turned her head subconsciously, only to see a petite figure who was a head shorter than her looking at her body carefully. The curly hair on both sides of its head were like cat ears, swaying gently with the movements of its owner.

"..."

Looking at the extremely serious expression on the face of this little girl who was about the same height as Theresa, a somewhat absurd feeling suddenly arose in my heart.

Kiana pursed her lips, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally chose to be the first to speak to the girl she had complicated feelings about: "Hello, I'm Kiana, may I ask who you are...?"

"You've heard my name from the store manager, right? Why are you still asking this question?" The purple cat's ears twitched in dissatisfaction. "... Forget it. The store manager said that you seem to have some problems with your brain. I won't bother with you about what happened in the hall before."

Kiana was choked by her words, not knowing how to respond. Should she apologize for what happened in the hall earlier? Or should she categorically refute the other party's point of view that "she is mentally ill"?

"I'm Xilin. I don't know why your other personality has such a big problem with me, but it's better for us not to fight casually in this cafe."

Xilin put her hands on her hips and looked into Kiana's eyes with a look of unwillingness to admit defeat:

"Of course, don't mistake me for being afraid of you. I am a magical girl after all. If I hadn't been frightened by your unreasonable sneak attack, I wouldn't have just sat there and waited for death like I did just now."

Chapter 51 Lovely Xilinlin

"Magic..." Hearing those four words that shouldn't appear in any serious occasion, Kiana's brain was a little stuck, "Magical girl???"

"What's the problem?" Xilin's eyebrows raised, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her golden eyes, "Do you look down on magical girls?"

Is this a question of whether I look up to them or not? Do magical girls really exist?! Kiana's eyes twitched slightly, but she looked at Xilin's serious expression, and after a long silence, she finally showed a somewhat stiff and forced smile: "Of course not, I'm just a little surprised. You are a magical girl? Great, that's amazing..."

"Humph, it sounds like you don't have any sincerity at all." Xilin raised an eyebrow, "But forget it, there's no point in arguing with a mentally ill person about this kind of thing."

"..." Kiana really didn't want to continue this topic that she couldn't get angry about or refute, so she took the initiative to ask: "Why did you come to see me?"

"The manager asked me to come over and measure your body data so that I can sew a new uniform for you." Xilin suddenly raised her palm and gently shook it to the left. "Turn around so that I can see the difference in your chest size compared to Yuexia's."

Kiana turned around subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong. She turned around again and said in astonishment, "What? Uniforms?"

"Tsk..." Xilin's face showed a trace of obvious disdain. Seeing that Kiana didn't listen to her instructions, she took a step forward and took the initiative to walk to the side of Kiana. "The manager told me that with your clumsy craftsmanship, it will take a long time to repair the things you broke. So before you compensate for the losses of the store, you have to stay here and work hard. You can only be released after the wages can offset the losses. What are you dissatisfied with?"

As she spoke, Xilin suddenly walked behind Kiana again. She tiptoed slightly, put her hands on Kiana's shoulders, and then slid down.

"Hey, hey, it's so itchy, where did you touch suddenly?!"

"I just measured your chest, waist and hips... You are two centimeters shorter than Yuexia, with a chest circumference of 84, waist circumference of 59, and hip circumference of 86... You are only two centimeters shorter than Yuexia, so why is your figure so different from Yuexia's? No wonder her clothes are so loose on you." Xilin muttered in a low voice.

Kiana's mouth twitched: "...I'm really sorry that my figure can't compare to that Yuexia you mentioned!"

Xilin ignored Kiana's complaints. She loosened her hands that were measuring Kiana's body and suddenly fell silent: "...By the way, where is the person inside you?"

"Ah?" Kiana was a little unresponsive for a moment.

"She's the woman who suddenly showed up and helped me block the attack you made when you went crazy. I remember she ran out of your body," Xilin said.

Kiana thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "You mean... Fu Hua?"

Xilin frowned: "I don't know her name, she should be inside your body, right?"

"…Why are you looking for her?"

"Um..." Xilin suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I just wanted to say thank you."

"..."Kiana suddenly showed an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?!" Seeing Kiana's weird look, Xilin, who was a little overwhelmed, suddenly got angry. "Although you can't hurt me under the store manager's nose, but one thing is for sure, she saved me once, so I think it's okay to thank her, right?!"

"..." Kiana still didn't speak. She stared blankly at Xilin, whose face was flushed red, and felt like the world was collapsing.

This... this Xilin's personality is too good! ! Is she really the same person as the Herrscher of the Void in my body? !

Just when Kiana was doubting her life, her body suddenly shook.

In the firelight, a translucent red figure quickly condensed in mid-air.

Fu Hua's expression was also a bit complicated. Compared with Kiana, she, who had been constantly fighting against the Herrscher of the Void with her consciousness in recent times, could better understand the difference between the Herrscher of the Void and this Sirin.

"You are the Fu Hua this guy mentioned, right?" Xilin raised her head, looked at Fu Hua with a complicated expression, and bowed, "Thank you, thank you for helping me before. If you need anything in the future, you can tell me. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely repay you!"

Seeing the purple-haired girl who was almost killed by the Herrscher of the Sky thanking Fu Hua solemnly, both Fu Hua and Kiana felt like they didn't know what to say. Kiana felt an indescribable sense of guilt rising up all of a sudden, and her expression became extremely sad.

Damn it! Such a good kid almost died because of my mistake...

After a long silence, Fu Hua sighed quietly, "You don't have to thank me. It was us who brought the danger to your store. It is reasonable that Kiana and I should take responsibility for this. It should be us who need to apologize to you."

"Let's put it one way or another." Xilin straightened her back and said frankly, "I don't know why the other personality in her body has such a big opinion of me, but since you have tried your best to suppress that dangerous personality, it means that you are not in the same group with her, so there is no point in me being angry with you."

"Besides, I didn't say that I have forgiven that guy. The person who suddenly attacked me hasn't apologized to me yet!" Halfway through her words, a trace of anger suddenly flashed across her eyes.

Xilin puffed up her cheeks and said indignantly, "She suddenly came out and beat and scolded me for no reason. As a result, until now, I don't know how I offended her! I really can't swallow this anger unless I explain the matter clearly!"

"..."

Kiana and Fu Hua looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes, but at the same time they understood Xilin's indignation.

Even if he was stopped in the end, it is an indisputable fact that the Herrscher of the Void once intended to kill Sirin and took actual action to do so.

Logically speaking, in this situation, even Xilin would want to retaliate in the same way. Kiana and Fu Hua had nothing to say, but now she just wanted to figure out what was going on.

Just for this reason, Fu Hua and Qiana both felt that Xilin's temper was so good that they were a little speechless.

But at the same time...the two of them didn't know how to respond to Xilin's request.

Compared with the Herrscher of the Void in their understanding, this Sirin was so kind that in the short time they had known Sirin, they subconsciously wanted to completely cut off the image of this kind magical girl left by the Herrscher of the Void.

The crimes committed by the Herrscher of the Void and the disasters caused should not be borne by this angelic little girl, no matter from which angle.

Chapter 52 Raiden Mei is coming! Raiden Mei falls down!

The tangle between Kiana and Fu Hua only lasted a short time.

It’s not that they got the answer, but their thoughts were interrupted by the sudden shaking of the ground accompanied by a sharp electric current and a low explosion.

A flash of lightning pierced the night outside the window.

Kiana, Fu Hua and Xilin's faces changed. The explosion came from the main entrance on the first floor. At the same time, two "Theresa"s, one big and one small, who also felt the unusual movement, opened their bedroom doors with a click.

The older one, the red-eyed "Theresa", was wearing a translucent, close-fitting gauze pajamas, her huge white skin was faintly visible through the loose fabric. The younger one, like Kiana, was wearing a loose pajamas. After opening the door, she first glanced at the "Big Theresa" opposite her, her childish face suddenly turned red, and then she spat subconsciously.

The three people standing at the bathroom door couldn't help but blush.

Even someone as dull as Fu Hua could see the obvious intentions of this "Great Theresa" from her dress.

"Big Theresa" herself did not show any shy expression. She glanced at "Little Theresa"'s expression which was mixed with disdain and a little jealousy, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She proudly puffed out her chest, as if she was showing off something.

But she quickly realized that now was not a good time to compete with the doomed loser, so she turned her head, moved her gaze away from Guanxing's face, walked to the window with her long and round legs, then opened the window and lowered her head slightly.

“Damn it, let me go…!! Rita… where did you hide Kiana, you bastard?! Bronya! Didn’t you go to Cocolia with the principal and the others?! Why are you with this guy!!”

The moment the window was opened, a voice filled with anger, humiliation, and chilling feeling came in.

After hearing that extremely familiar voice, Kiana's expression froze for a moment.

Bud——Bud Yi? ?

Damn it, why did Mei suddenly come to her house at this time? ! She hadn't figured out how to explain her experience tonight to her companions at Saint Freya!

Fu Hua silently glanced at Kiana, who had a dazed expression, and after thinking for a while, the translucent figure suddenly turned into a thick mist and dissipated.

Kiana, who was racking her brains to think about how to face Raiden Mei, was suddenly dumbfounded. Her panicked voice revealed a strong sense of betrayal: "Hey!? Class-class leader?? Why are you suddenly-??? Don't leave!!"

"...Kiana-san, running away is not a good behavior." Fu Hua's calm voice echoed faintly in Kiana's mind.

However, that calm and clear voice did not bring Kiana the sense of reliability she had before. Instead, it made Kiana, who was already a little panicked, even more stunned.

Good squad leader, I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also learn to betray! You know that escaping is a bad behavior, so face it with me! ! Don't think I have forgotten who was the one who tied me to the Tianming headquarters in the first place! !

——Although she wanted to roar like this from the bottom of her heart, when she thought of her good Mei who was still suffering downstairs, Kiana knew that she didn't have much time left to hesitate. She gritted her teeth, and ran all the way to the stairs on the first floor with the determination to die, and then stretched out her hand to the door of the hall: "Manager! Spare her life!!!"

"Ki-Kiana???!" As Kiana expected, the moment she appeared at the stairs, the voice that was previously full of anger and fighting spirit turned into an exclamation of disbelief in the blink of an eye.

The square one-handed sword Dawnbreaker Talwa, flashing with lightning, was inserted far away on the wooden table against the wall. Four fist-sized drones were suspended in the air, and the muzzles of the floating guns were faintly pointing at the figure with a high ponytail who was half-kneeling on the ground. Right in front of the figure with a high ponytail, the young store manager crossed his arms with his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a huge "井" character appeared on his forehead.

Rita, with her long hair flying, shrugged helplessly, and held the high ponytail girl's shoulder firmly with one hand.

She raised the back of her other hand and gently wiped her lips. "Ah, it's true. She didn't understand the current situation, nor the difference in strength between the two sides, and attacked recklessly. This lady is really... How can I say hello to you?"

Brownie leaned sideways, half-sitting lazily on the booth sofa by the wall, the bubbles in his mouth slowly expanded, and then burst with a pop.

The drone suspended in the air dissipated after the bubble burst, and the clear data stream melted into the dark night.

Without even looking at the figure half-kneeling under Rita's hands, she turned her head and looked in the direction of Kiana: "Hey, you're done washing, so it's my turn next."

"Huh?" Kiana was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously, "Yeah... Yeah."

She felt something was wrong just after she responded, and Kiana looked in the direction of Raiden Mei tremblingly.

As expected, after seeing her own reaction, Mei Raiden, who was half-kneeling on the ground, opened her mouth, and her expression gradually changed from confusion and bewilderment to heartbreak.

Kiana didn't need to think too much to know why Mei Raiden had such a heartbroken expression. Since Rita from their world suddenly found this cafe, it meant that her whereabouts had been exposed, and it was only a matter of time before the people from the Far East branch came to visit.

Since she had already found the cafe, when she saw the long-haired Rita appear in the place where she had appeared before, she would probably conclude that she had been caught by the long-haired Rita.

——As a result, at this time, she appeared safe and sound after she was easily defeated by Rita, and she looked so relaxed, so it was easy to draw a conclusion.

She herself - she, Kiana Kaslana, had already succumbed to fate.

Although she already had a rough guess and expectation about Mei Raiden's mental process, Kiana's heart still suddenly tightened when she saw Mei Raiden's heartbroken expression.

She could no longer care about the urge to run away. She scratched her head for a long time, walked carefully to the front of Raiden Mei, and stammered: "That...that...Mei, Mei, things are not what you think, I...you, please listen to me...Ah!! Hiss, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts————!!!!"

Before she could finish her words, her ears were suddenly grabbed.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts—it’s going to break! Shop—Manager! Be gentler!! It’s really going to break!!”

Seeing Kiana being treated so roughly, Mei Raiden, who was completely dominated by loss and heartbreak, could no longer sit still. She stood up suddenly, her eyes were sharp, and her voice was filled with anger at the hurt of someone she loved:

“What are you doing to Kiana all of a sudden? Hiss—it hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts—let go! Hiss—it hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts—!!”

As a result, before her anger could be transformed into concrete action to protect the important people, the stinging pain of her ear being grabbed fiercely by the young boy's other hand made Raiden Mei join the group of people who were also screaming.

The young store manager had a gloomy face. He grabbed the earlobes of the two struggling girls, one on the left and one on the right, and dragged them in front of the square sword inserted in the knife table, and then threw them in front of him.

The merciless force caused Kiana and Raiden Mei to stagger at the same time.

In order to prevent their bodies from completely losing balance, they subconsciously stretched out their hands and supported themselves on the wooden table that the sword had deeply sunk into.

As a result, with a loud bang, the wooden table, which could not bear the weight, suddenly fell to the left and right. The cross-section cut by the square sword was so smooth that there was no flaw at all.

"Nine tables, fourteen chairs, seven sofas, six windows, three cabinets, more than twenty light bulbs, and these wooden floors that I spent so much effort to lay!!!"

"You two, are you both huskies?! You just demolished my store without saying anything! Did the things in my store offend you?! Huh???"
