Capítulo 22: Chapter 22: Kiss Me
In the early summer, at 11:00 AM, the sun was scorching.
Yae Sakura, the Anti-Entropy Miko, stood on top of a broken street lamp, gazing at the Thousand Feathers Academy ahead.
The energy fluctuations of the pseudo-Herrscher had been detected by St. Freya Academy's Science Department, and Yae Sakura and Hellmaru, who were in Nagazora City, naturally noticed it immediately as well.
"A pseudo-Herrscher has actually appeared. Could that guy really predict the future?" Hellmaru murmured, her voice buzzing with growing apprehension towards Ye Feng.
Yae Sakura, however, was indifferent. She only needed to complete the tasks Ye Feng had assigned her. "Help me out in a bit. But remember, keep her alive." This was, of course, another of Ye Feng's requests. Whether they were Herrschers or pseudo-Herrschers, those chosen were always young girls.
"Hmph. Why should I help you? Don't forget, Yae Sakura, we are enemies," Hellmaru retorted.
"Then you can just keep that big belly of yours," Yae Sakura replied calmly.
"..."
Leaving these words behind, Yae Sakura drew her katana, Sakura Blizzard, its blade reflecting a cold gleam like snow under the scorching sun.
The Miko of the Inverse God vanished from the streetlamp pole in a flash.
Meanwhile, Hellmaru hesitated. Ye Feng had indeed promised that if she assisted Yae Sakura, he would help alleviate her pregnancy buff.
Tch, what is this? Does he think I'm a puppy? Rewarding me when I wag my tail and punishing me when I displease him?
Hellmaru was a Herrscher with pride! She shrank back, coldly watching from Yae Sakura's rear.
The two pseudo-Herrschers exchanged no words and immediately engaged in battle.
Everything unfolded as Ye Feng had shown, with the pseudo-Herrscher named "Yuno" wielding vines and excelling at using poison. Yae Sakura and Yuno fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand quickly.
On the other side, Ye Feng, who had recently been busy with Kiana's education, had not visited the new map.
Finally, he remembered it and opened the "map," showing both "St. Freya Academy" and "Thousand Feathers Academy."
However, the two maps were not connected, like two isolated islands in a sea of darkness. To get to "Thousand Feathers Academy," Ye Feng had to "teleport" between the maps.
The only character panel at Thousand Feathers Academy showed "Yuno" as the sole NPC. "It doesn't show her last name either? I wonder if it's like my wife's (Gasai).
But it's really 'Yuno,' about the same age as my Mei," Ye Feng muttered as he rearranged her outfit, styled her hair, and even adjusted her hair color.
Of course, other adjustments could be made as well. Ye Feng chose "none," then changed it to pink.
"She really looks a lot like her."
After changing Yuno's hair color to pink and tying it into twin tails, she resembled the Yuno Gasai in Ye Feng's memory by nine-tenths. Ye Feng brought her to the classic school rooftop, stared at her for a while, and then nodded in satisfaction.
"You'll be called 'Yuno Gasai' from now on. Hmm, not bad. Let's try it out first."
Ye Feng suspected that the "Yuno" in the manga was modeled after the one from *Future Diary*.
In reality, at Thousand Feathers Academy, a series of explosions echoed, and dust clouds filled the air as vine-like tendrils twisted frantically within them. Yae Sakura slashed through the attacking vines and looked into the distance.
In the far-off sky, a massive shadow floated closer. Yuno also paused and squinted at it. Soon, they could see it clearly: a silver-white battleship.
The Hyperion.
Theresa had directly brought the battleship over, accompanied by Kiana and Himeko. Theresa sat in the bridge's seat, a massive curved display before her, with Valkyries from the engineering and communications teams orderly manning the instruments. The screen was broadcasting real-time images of Qianyu Academy.
"Two strong reaction sources—there are actually two pseudo-Herrschers! … And they're fighting?"
"Oh, this is the first time I've seen this. So, Herrschers fight each other too. How interesting," Himeko remarked, standing beside Theresa with her great sword slung over her shoulder.
Although she was the captain of the Hyperion, when the Far East Branch's director boarded, she ceded the main seat.
Kiana stared at Yae Sakura. She looked familiar.
"Huh, that long-eared, pink-haired pseudo-Herrscher—I think I've seen her before…"
"Where did you see her?"
"In the Stigmata Space."
Theresa and Himeko pondered slightly. Had she appeared in the Stigmata Space? Was there a connection between them?
"Compared to the NPCs in the Stigmata Space, did she have any special characteristics?"
Kiana shook her head. "No, she was just like everyone else. She didn't react to me, followed a set routine, and stood under a cherry blossom tree in a corner of the square every day. Oh, right, there was always a girl with a big belly next to her…"
"A girl with a big belly?"
As soon as she said that, in the live feed, a fox the size of a building suddenly appeared. Though its body was wrapped in crimson flames, it could not conceal the bulge of its stomach.
"Honkai energy levels rising rapidly! 500 HW! 800 HW! It's breaking 1000 HW!"
"What?!"
Everyone's eyes widened. When the instantaneous power during a Honkai eruption exceeds 1000 HW, there is a chance for a being called a "Herrscher" to be born in the disaster area. While not a certainty, it is a significant reference point.
"Is that a fox with a big belly, a Herrscher?"
However, the flame-wreathed fox only appeared for a fleeting moment, swallowed the vine-wielding pseudo-Herrscher in one bite, and then disappeared instantly.
"?"
A Herrscher swallowed a pseudo-Herrscher and then vanished?
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances, unable to comprehend the situation. By the time they realized what had happened, the long-eared, pink-haired pseudo-Herrscher had also disappeared, leaving only a charred ruin behind…
"Those were fox ears, right? They're probably… on the same team?"
Himeko also noticed something. "Wait a minute. Kiana, didn't you say the 'Stigmata Space' was a one-to-one replica of St. Freya Academy? Why did someone we don't know appear? And since there was an 'anomaly,' why didn't you report it or ask 'Ye Feng'?"
Now, a character from the Stigmata Space had appeared in reality, and it was also the pseudo-Herrscher that "Ye Feng" had predicted.
To say there was no connection would be impossible, as far as Himeko was concerned.
"..."
Kiana remained silent for a moment because, recently, every time she entered, she was either receiving guidance or getting spanked. She could only awkwardly scratch the back of her head and say, "Heh."
---
"Ye Feng, who is she?"
Late at night, Kiana eagerly entered the dreamscape to find Ye Feng.
"Hmm? Why ask all of a sudden—oh, I see. You must have met her."
Kiana glanced at the miko under the cherry blossom tree. "Just as you said, Aunt Himeko, Aunt Theresa, and I went to Thousand Feathers Academy together. We saw her there."
"Mm, do you want to know? As usual, you'll have to fulfill one of my requests."
"Ah, fine, I get it."
Kiana bent over, starting to remove her skirt, all while wearing a look of disdain.
"??"
Ye Feng took a step back, feigning shock, "What are you doing?"
Hearing this, Kiana felt a mix of shame and anger inside. What am I doing? You beast, don't you know?!
But on the surface, Kiana remained calm and spoke indifferently, "Let's get this over with."
"Get over with what?"
"Heh."
Ye Feng replied, "Do I look like a bad guy who 'coerces others'? How rude—I'm all about pure love."
Kiana threw her skirt aside, revealing her smooth legs wrapped in vine-like attire. She looked up and asked, "What do you want, then?"
"Let's kiss, Kiana-bug~."
"…..?"
Kiana froze in place, a flicker of panic flashing in her eyes.
