Bronya was serious; she really has feelings for me that go beyond being best friends...?
Kiana opened her mouth, took down the piece of paper, and saw a blushing, somewhat fidgety Bronya.
"Do you want to back out...?"
Bronya pursed her lips and asked softly with her eyes downcast.
Kiana looked at Bronya in her pajamas, her throat bobbing as she asked cautiously:
"Seele doesn't mind...?"
"???"
Bronya gave Kiana a strange look upon hearing this, then said as if it were obvious:
"Seele is my dearest sister; of course she has always supported me."
Well, so that's what Bronya thinks... Fine, if Seele is willing, being with Bronya together... Kiana wouldn't mind either.
"Bronya, are you really... willing?"
"I... this old lady has waited for eighteen years!"
Seeing Kiana still playing dumb, Bronya took a deep breath and shook Kiana's shoulders with gritted teeth, looking quite exasperated.
She had expressed herself so clearly, yet Kiana was still asking!
"I just wanted to... woah!!"
Kiana muttered under her breath with a pout, but halfway through, her mouth was blocked.
Kiana's pupils dilated slightly as she looked at Bronya in front of her, somewhat dazed.
Bronya has changed so much; to think she'd be this bold and proactive?
Afterward, Kiana turned the offensive around and began to play a beautiful melody together with Bronya.
[System update complete...]
[Sorry, excuse me...]
The system deep within Kiana's soul watched the images playing on the screen before her, a faint blush appearing on her indifferent face.
After the upgrade, she had recovered part of her emotional modules, and Kiana's behavior caused a slight stir in her heart as well.
But the system's powerful self-control allowed her to suppress her biological instincts.
"I'll wait until she's finished playing..."
The system sighed helplessly, then swiped out countless control panels, her small hands moving like phantoms across the screens.
At the same time, all the Kianas received a notification that the group chat maintenance was finished.
Meanwhile, Phainon, who hadn't seen a Group Friend in 18 years, looked at the familiar yet strange interface that popped up in front of him with some confusion.
The group chat won its revival match!?
He had thought that since there had been no activity in the group chat for so many years, it must have been completely dead.
He had originally felt quite regretful about losing so many cute white-haired Group Friends.
He didn't expect the group chat to suddenly come back to life; it gave him quite a start.
[Phainon: It's been eighteen years, and the group chat is actually still alive...?]
[Herrscher of Flamescion Na: What are you talking about? What eighteen years?]
[Gojo Kiana: I don't quite get it. Phainon and the Group Owner have been lurking for a month; why only come out now?]
[Mama Na: It's good that you've surfaced, as long as nothing bad happened...]
[Void Hunter Na: Wait, Phainon, do you mean eighteen years have passed on your side...?]
[Phainon: Yeah, isn't it the same for you guys?]
[Pretty Cure Kiana: Only a month has passed for us. Also, Sake Kiana already went through a reincarnation a few days ago, sigh...]
[Phainon: Reincarnation?!]
Phainon was immediately triggered; there are experts among the Group Friends too?!
To think there's another Group Friend who has reincarnated!
And it's that cute and incredibly lively little angel, Sake Kiana.
What on earth happened during the time he was gone?!
[Digital Na: Sake Kiana didn't tell us what happened back then either; it just suddenly became the same as it was for you...]
[Sake Kiana: Did something happen here? (Head-tilt.jpg)]
[Senju Kiana: See, she lost her memories after the reincarnation...]
[Mita Na: Sake Kiana is so pitiful...]
[Phainon: @Sake Kiana, can I go over to your place to take a look?]
Phainon's heart hardened, his fists clenched.
He wanted to see what kind of things were over there.
[Digital Na: I advise you better not go. I went once, and I always felt like some supreme existence was staring at me.]
[Herrscher of Flamescion Na: Let's wait for the Group Owner sister to come out. There's something nasty in Sake Kiana's world...]
Herrscher of Flamescion Na had visited once and could also feel a gentle yet divine gaze watching her.
She felt that world wasn't as fragile as it appeared on the surface; at least, there were beings with an extremely high power ceiling in that world.
[Phainon: The Group Owner... probably won't be able to come out for a while...]
Afterward, Phainon told the Group Friends about Wangshu's current situation.
The General Taiyin hadn't appeared for eighteen years, and government affairs had been handled by her sister, Bianca.
He had visited Wangshu once, but after several times of not seeing Kiana, he felt something was wrong.
Although the Xianzhou Alliance didn't say it explicitly, Phainon felt that something must have happened to Kiana.
[Herrscher of Flamescion Na: This... she really...?]
[Gojo Kiana:...]
Because of Phainon's news, the atmosphere in the group became somewhat oppressive; even Herrscher of Flamescion Na, who usually loved playing pranks and joking, fell into silence.
But they didn't know that their Group Owner was currently busy with important matters; even checking the changes in herself and the system after the upgrade had been put on the back burner.
One can only say she's truly the General Taiyin; having things to attend to as soon as she woke up, what a diligent and hardworking general.
Never mind what she's doing or if she's busy!
...The next morning, Kiana sat up from the bed and stretched luxuriously, showing off what a perfect figure looked like.
Beside her, Bronya felt the movement and opened her eyes, her gaze tender as she looked at the stretching Kiana.
Kiana lowered her arms, turned to look at the already awake Bronya, and said softly:
"Bronya, why don't you sleep a bit longer?"
As she spoke, she casually snapped her fingers to clean her body and then constructed the set of clothes she usually wore.
"At this level of existence, sleep has long since ceased to be a necessity."
Bronya gave Kiana a playful glare, then her body glowed with a blue light, and a new set of clothes covered her body.
"Bronya, aren't you going to cover your neck, or just erase those marks...?"
Kiana looked at the several red marks on Bronya's neck and said, scratching her cheek awkwardly.
Those were all her handiwork... wasn't Bronya afraid of people seeing them?
"There's no need."
Bronya shook her head and then asked:
"What do you plan to do next? Are you going to call everyone over?"
Since she already had a substantial relationship with Kiana, Bronya was no longer thinking about keeping Kiana all to herself.
Kiana was about to nod, but then thinking about the matters in the other universe, she shook her head.
She would meet everyone after the business on the Luofu over there was finished.
"Why?"
"You might not believe it—no, you've become a god, there's nothing you can't believe anymore..."
Kiana shook her head with a smile and then told Bronya about the other universe.
When she learned that Kiana had been in that universe for less than a month while eighteen years had passed here, she instantly felt it was extremely unfair.
All of them had missed Kiana for eighteen years, while Kiana's soul had only been playing in another world for less than a month!?
"Honey, don't look at me like that, I'm blushing..."
Feeling Bronya's unfriendly gaze, Kiana rubbed her hands together and looked away guiltily.
After a long while, Bronya sighed and spread her hands helplessly:
"Fine, I'll reluctantly forgive you. Anyway, everyone's lifespans are so long now."
