Thanks for the invitation! I am in Honkai, still connected

"Who are you?"

Almost instinctively, Kiana shouted.

Then, the two people opposite her froze.

"Kiana, what are you yelling about?"

Miss Mei, completely failing to understand what Kiana was shouting, looked somewhat astonished.

Weren't you the ones calling out to me?

Kiana opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

Then, a voice very similar to her own, yet possessing more authority, resounded. (The Pufferfish's dignity, lol)

"Do not tell them of my existence."

Hey, hey, hey, this lady, just who are you anyway?!

The Paramecium, utterly baffled as to why another voice was ringing in her mind, screamed frantically in her thoughts.

"Who I am is of no consequence."

The voice in her head sounded a bit awkward, as if unwilling to admit certain things.

"You need only know that the traitor before you is untrustworthy, and a lecherous demon!!"

"The reason you feel such an excessive fondness for him is entirely because you were struck by that Divine Key at his waist, your thoughts influenced by the Power of Erosion!"

What the heck is the Power of Erosion?

?????

Profound confusion emanated from Miss Paramecium's eyes.

"You just need to know it's a thoroughly disgusting ability, that's all."

Kiana felt the tone of the voice in her mind suddenly become irritable.

"Get away from him, quickly! And especially stay away from that tachi!!"

The voice of the one who had truly been struck by Jizo Mitama grew increasingly irascible, as if she were on her period.

Hey, hey, hey, what kind of tone is that?!

Listening to the Pufferfish's clearly commanding pronouncements, Miss Kiana's mood also soured.

Some random person pops out of nowhere, immediately tells her to stay away from one of her few friends, and even uses a condescending tone to order her around. This was simply insane.

The girl, who was in essence one of Sirin's personalities, under Miss Sirin's gaze of impotent rage, walked up to Li Zihan. Without any subtlety, she directly and boldly asked.

"Hey, hey, hey, Ah Li, have you ever used that sword of yours, the one called Heavenly Treasure Royal Whatnot Soul, on me?"

Theoretically, probing for intelligence should involve making inquiries from multiple sources, asking questions indirectly, and then comprehensively analyzing the answers.

However, Miss Kiana disliked thinking, especially when there were people around who looked out for her.

"It's Jizo Mitama."

The youth, who not long ago had used Jizo Mitama's Third Rated Power on a certain Pufferfish to amplify her inherent arrogance, spoke.

"That sort of thing isn't important at all!"

The white-haired dango, clearly having abandoned thought, pointed at the tachi that Li Zihan always wore at his waist, her gaze as sharp as a husky staring at an empty food bowl.

"I just want to ask you, have you ever attacked me with that thing?"

"The Third Rated Power can amplify the emotions of the one hit by it."

"For various reasons, I have used it on you."

Li Zihan didn't hide anything, stating it very directly.

There was nothing to conceal about such matters.

Miss Kiana, having obtained the answer with such ease, looked thoughtful.

Just amplifying emotions?

Her cheeks turned a little red, as if lightly dusted with rouge.

This expression, falling upon Miss Mei's eyes, made her heart skip a beat.

What is this situation?

"Phew~, no wonder I've been wanting to get all clingy with Mei these past two days!"

Before Miss Mei could even ask, the white-haired dango exhaled a turbid breath and began to complain.

She then looked towards Miss Mei, her gaze direct and intense, like a husky that had spotted a full food bowl.

Miss Mei, sensing potential danger, felt a bead of sweat trickle down her forehead. She took a step back, then glanced towards the door.

"We just moved here today, the kitchen is a bit empty. I'll go buy some groceries to fill up the fridge."

"Um, I, I'll be going then."

"Mei, let me go with you!"

There was a hint of joyful surprise in the white-haired dango's voice.

"No, it's alright."

Under that intensely aggressive gaze, Miss Mei's smile was slightly embarrassed. She then chose to go alone.

Before leaving, she looked towards Li Zihan again and reminded him.

"Zihan, remember to give Kiana the medicine."

"Mhm."

The youth, who indeed had things to do next and no time to bother with a certain Pufferfish, nodded.

The fact that Kiana had suddenly asked about Jizo Mitama proved that a certain Pufferfish had woken up again and had been blabbering on about quite a few things.

"What exactly is this medicine?"

The white-haired dango, knowing only that this medicine came from the Schicksal Overseer and was very precious, looked at the vividly colored potion with a puzzled expression.

She trusted that Li Zihan wouldn't harm her.

After all, if he had wanted to harm her, she would have long since typed out 'GG' amidst laughter and cheers.

Besides...

He had said before that he would always stand by her side, hadn't he?

Miss Kiana pressed her lips together, her eyes holding an emotion that was hard to define, impossible to articulate.

"It's a medicine for treating split personalities. It can prevent your second personality from constantly popping out and causing trouble."

Li Zihan very naturally defined the Herrscher personality as a "second personality," explaining it to Miss Paramecium.

"Traitor! Who are you calling a second personality!!"

The Herrscher named Sirin roared in Kiana's mind with impotent rage, giving Kiana a splitting headache.

"I am an Apostle of God, wielding the power of six deities!!"

Seriously, why do I have this kind of personality that's even more chuuni than Mei?

Kiana thought, recalling a small booklet she had once found on Miss Mei's bookshelf, which contained some very embarrassing, chuunibyou phrases like "Wild winds, submit to me!" and "One slash, two pieces!"

An Apostle of God, she calls herself, yet she doesn't even understand the uniqueness of Herrscher authority. She's even more of a slacker in studies than I am.

Moreover, she seemed to have taken over her body before and caused destruction.

Kiana, vaguely remembering a period when she had lost consciousness, also found her expression turning unfriendly.

She could barely understand her second personality using her body; after all, this body was supposedly shared between herself and the second personality.

However, it was a different matter entirely for the second personality to come out and frequently cause destruction. The hit she took from that Ji-something Mitama was probably her fault too.

Her appearances had to be restricted.

"So, can this suppress the second personality?"

Words that would cause Miss Sirin to despair came from Kiana's mouth.

"Mhm, it can suppress it for a long time."

Li Zihan poured the so-called Saint's Blood into a syringe and dangled it in front of Kiana.

In the original worldline, the Saint's Blood had once beaten Sirin, who had fully manifested her Herrscher form, back to her original state, allowing Kiana to regain control of her body.

Now, Sirin was just a good-for-nothing who babbled nonsense all day. One shot of this, and silencing her wouldn't be difficult.

"Mhm, then I'll leave it to you."

Miss Kiana very naturally rolled up her sleeve and extended her arm to Li Zihan.

Li Zihan didn't hesitate much, injecting the syringe filled with Saint's Blood into Kiana's forearm.

"Traitor, I'm not done with you!!"

And so, Herrscher Sirin, was once again, and again, utterly defeated.
