Anaya's Puppet Game

"Have you considered it?"

Assia looked at the exhaustion on her face and was sure she might not have slept all night.

"I've thought about it."

"Hmm." Assia nodded, and asked with concern, "When are you going to leave? Do you need me to see you off?"

Only after Jizi left did she have the time to get a laboratory for Mebius. It's not like she doesn't have that kind of thing, but it's all under the eyes of Tianming. It's not that it can't be used, but if possible, she still hopes to rebuild one.

"Let's go? You misunderstood." Ji Zi shook her head. Apart from being a little tired, Asiya's words didn't seem to have any effect on her.

"I still stick to my own ideas!" Ji Zi said firmly.

hold on... any thoughts?

It was only later that Asiya realized what she meant. Jizi probably meant what she said yesterday.

"Are you crazy?" Assia's face turned black: "You know the end of doing this, right? I'm not someone worthy of you."

"Of course this is my thought after careful consideration." Ji Zi said, "Why are you being coy? According to what you said, I was the one who suffered. I don't care. Why are you being so coy?"

"...that's as you wish."

Chapter 25 Seems to be your student

The next development of the matter was unexpected, because she never expected that she would see Kiana and Mei again so soon.

Sakuragi City is just an ordinary and ordinary city in the far east. Recently, Asiya has not felt any collapse incidents around the city.

So there is a high probability that they came to find Jizi, right?

As Asia, her relationship with Kiyana and the others was just strangers who had some contact because of Himeko's existence.

Asiya, who saw them on the street, quickly looked away. It seemed that Jizi should be leaving soon.

Can……

Thinking of Mei's weird intuition, Asiya felt a little apprehensive.

What excuse should I find to avoid seeing it?

She left in the opposite direction to Kiyana and the others, and Kiyana raised her head thoughtfully and looked back.

There were quite a few people in the street, but no one she knew well, nor anyone who looked suspicious.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

Mei also looked back, but didn't find anything unusual, so she asked puzzledly.

"It's nothing."

Kiyana shook her head, she didn't know why she wanted to look back, as if someone very important had just appeared nearby.

"Relax, we are not here to perform a mission today."

"...I know." Qiyana also felt that she might be nervous, how could someone important appear nearby?

Such a hunch is an illusion at first glance.

"The headmaster said that Teacher Himeko is staying at Asiya's house now. Let's find a hotel to stay and visit Teacher Himeko and the others after the concert is over."

"Just do as you say."

The original intention was to persuade Mei to return to a normal life, but this idea was reversed by Mei herself and Teresa who gave her a hard lesson.

She can't selfishly impose her own ideas on others to determine the future of others. If she does that, she will follow Anaya's old path.

A self-righteous idiot who thinks that as long as I die, everything I have done can be taken away.

So she returned the gem of conquest to Mei, Mei is no longer the old lady, she is determined to become the real Herrscher of Thunder to grasp more powerful power and help her open up the way forward.

And the purpose is to avenge the collapse.

They have new motivation, but Teresa and the others don't think so, and even worry that they will go astray as they become paranoid due to excessive pursuit of power.

In order to reassure Teresa and the others, Mei made a request to meet Himeko who has not yet returned to the team, and to watch a concert.

Although only heard once, Asiya's music left a deep impression on her.

It is a kind of power that can purify people's hearts. Maybe after listening to it, you can find temporary peace and think through some things.

Is it them?

Why are they here?

Are you here for Anaya?

Wendy on the roof felt the message from the wind, and noticed Kiana and Raiden Mei who came to Sakuragi City.

She was very impressed with these two people, and she also felt the danger from them.

Like Anaya, these two are Herrschers, but not as powerful as Anaya.

"Who is there?"

Today is different from the past, Kiyana, who was spied on by Wendy, followed her gaze and saw the girl on the top of the building.

"Miss Wendy?"

Mei was a little surprised, after the battle at the airport, Wendy disappeared, she didn't expect to see Wendy here.

Why is she here?

Mei and Kiana had the same question as Wendy in their hearts.

Wendy obviously had no intention of talking to them, and the light blue breeze swept by, and she disappeared from under the noses of the two of them.

"That seems to be the power of the longing gem." When Wendy used Honkai, Kiana felt the weak power of the longing gem leaked.

"The longing gem is in her hand?"

"I can't be sure, she walked too fast. There is no obvious hostility towards us. It cannot be ruled out that she has a special relationship with the desire gem, and can borrow the power of the desire gem."

Although Qiyana said so, her face was slightly dignified.Wendy will appear here, so she has to be vigilant.

There is an unknown strong man behind her, she can't be traveling here.

"It seems that Wendy didn't tell us the truth. But it's also reasonable. Let's tell the principal about her discovery later, and be careful next time."

"Ah."

I hope their goals have nothing to do with Ji Zi and the others, let alone use the gem of desire to create a catastrophe here.

Kiyana's pupils are deep, and she will continue to move forward according to Anaya's wishes, becoming the only light that illuminates the darkness.

Honkai will definitely be wiped out!

No one can stop her!

Asiya, who had just left the house for a short time, returned home. Seeing her appearance, Ji Zi was a little surprised: "Your affairs have been arranged so quickly? You will be on stage tomorrow."

"It's just playing on stage. It's not the first time. There's nothing to be nervous about."

"If you think about it this way, there is really nothing to be nervous about. The venue and personnel issues have been arranged."

"Jizi, are you planning to go back tomorrow?" Assia asked.

She wanted to know if Ji Zi knew that Kiana and Mei were here.

"Do you really hate me that much?" Ji Zi counted down with an aggrieved face: "I also asked this question yesterday, and said it the day before yesterday. Are you going to ask me every day when I will leave?"

"I don't mean to drive you away." Asiya explained, "It doesn't matter how long you want to stay here, my door will always be open to you."

Ji Zi shook his head: "I just said it two days ago, I won't leave for the time being."

Things like feelings need to be struck while the iron is hot.

"I just saw two people who looked like your students on the street. I don't know if you want to see them, so I didn't say hello to them."

"my student?"

Ji Zi was taken aback for a moment, she was a little surprised by the news Assia brought back, after all, she didn't expect to hear about her student coming to find her at this time.

"who is it?"

"That white-haired girl, and that very gentle-looking girl from the Far East."

"Kiana and Mei?"

Ji Zi fell silent, and Teresa didn't tell her about it, and she didn't know that Kiana and the others had come to Sakuragi City until now.

Same as Asya thought.

There are no traces of Houkai activities around Sakuragi City, and there are no abnormal activities by the personnel of Destiny and Anti-Entropy.

So it is very likely that they came here for themselves and came here specifically to find her.

Why didn't Teresa tell her earlier?

Ji Zi couldn't help complaining to Teresa, knowing that Kiyana and the others would come, she would definitely pick them up.

How could it be as passive as it is now?

ps: No, I’m so sleepy that I can’t open my eyes. I wanted to mutter directly, but after thinking about it, I controlled it and wrote a chapter.

Chapter 26 The Price of Growth

Judging by Jizi's reaction, she seemed to be unaware of this matter.

So here comes the question, why did Kiana and Mei suddenly come to Sakuragi City?

If it was to find Himeko, then she should contact or look for Himeko immediately after coming here, but she didn't find that kind of emotion from the faces of Kiana and the others.

It wasn't for Ji Zi, so why did they come here?

Could it be Wendy?

Or is it to find himself who rescued Wendy last time and indirectly caused Kiana to be captured?

Goal hungry for gems?

But how did they know that they and Wendy were in Sakuragi City now?

Simple questions are thought over and over again, and simple people will see things as simple, but she has done too many things, and her guilty conscience makes her unable to control her associations.

"They came by coincidence. If I remember correctly, they really liked your performance."

Ji Zi had never done anything wrong, Kiyana and Mei came here as soon as they came, and it was a good thing to be able to confirm Kiyana and the others' status with their own eyes, so she readily accepted this and was a little happy.

"Don't you like them too?"

Asiya shook her head: "No, Jizi, those two of your students are Herrschers, especially the white-haired girl, who is very dangerous."

Asiya didn't have this attitude when they met before, and Ji Zi was taken aback by her words.

"I don't want to deal with such a dangerous person, I just want to be an ordinary musician now."

The strength shown by Asiya is enough to prove that she is also a dangerous person in his own mouth, and that ordinary musician sounds more like an excuse.

If she really only wanted to be an ordinary person, then Assia would not have sneaked into the Atlantic branch to rescue Wendy, and tried to use the gem of desire.

"Sorry, Himeko."

"No need to apologize to me for this."

They are the ones who establish contact, not her and the people around her. They stubbornly want to change other people's views, thinking that they are the only correct ones. This kind of arrogance will never appear in Jizi.

"But I bet they'll be at your concert."

"Of course. No one will refuse me."

Assia is of course aware of this, and can only pray that Kiyana and the others will not stay here for a long time. She doesn't want to see Kiyana and the others, but she can't be too obvious.

Otherwise, not only Jizi would be suspicious, but Qiyana and the others would also be suspicious.

She just needs to be calm and casually reveal a little jealousy and alienation. Jizi is very smart and will understand her attitude towards Kiana and Mei.

Ji Zi nodded in agreement, and said with a smile, "It seems that you still have some self-knowledge about your own charm."

They made a little harmless joke.

But Jizi is still a Valkyrie, and the appearance of Kiyana and the others made Jizi think of the problem that he had temporarily ignored.

A problem that has to be faced.
