Chirp chirp—
The sound of birds outside the window gradually rose, and sunlight streamed through the window onto the two white-haired figures sleeping spread-eagled on the bed inside.
Kiana scratched her cheek, which felt a bit hot from the sun, and then opened her slightly hazy eyes.
"Eh? When did I get home..."
Kiana sat up, scratching her messy hair, and murmured groggily.
The right strap of Kiana's pajamas slipped below her shoulder, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.
Her half-open blue eyes carried a hint of drowsiness; she clearly wasn't fully awake yet.
"Haa～～..."
Kiana let out a yawn, and then her small hand instinctively felt around, searching for her jade sign.
Soon, Kiana grabbed something very soft, which felt incredibly tender and bouncy to the touch.
Kiana's drowsy gaze revealed a hint of confusion—why did this feel so familiar?
Kiana instinctively squeezed it twice, then heard a soft moan.
"Mm..."
"!!!"
Kiana's sleepiness vanished instantly. She hurriedly let go and pulled her hand back to her chest.
Her wide-open beautiful eyes looked beside her, and there was a white-haired fox beauty!
She knew why it felt so familiar!
It turned out she had the same things herself.
But Kiana thought to herself, her own shape was more aesthetic than Feixiao's!
Ahem, that's getting off track.
Kiana tiptoed off the bed, stepped into her slippers, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Although she only needed to use her clearance now to refresh herself...
Taking a bath was a form of enjoyment!
"Ah～ so comfortable～"
Kiana, with half her head poking out of the bathtub, looked very relaxed.
"Let's see what the other Kianas are doing."
Kiana used her thoughts to open the group chat interface, her large eyes exposed above the water quickly reading through the chat history.
After Feixiao arrived yesterday, her dad, mom, and sisters had given them some space, and she had turned off the group livestream herself.
She and Feixiao had been drinking like crazy at the Taiyin Mansion, and in the end, they seemed to have made quite a commotion.
She vaguely remembered that her Chief Strategist had eventually carried her and Feixiao back to her home.
Because of that, she hadn't been present when the newcomers joined the group last night.
"Void Hunting Kiana from Zenless Zone Zero, and Special Operations Na from Delta Force..."
She spoke lazily while scrolling down the chat history bit by bit.
By the end, Kiana knew the current status of these two.
Special Operations Na had been assigned an undercover mission and was preparing to join Hafoc to steal important brain-computer data.
As for Void Hunting Kiana, according to her, she seemed to have amnesia and was taken in a while ago by a pair of siblings who sold videos.
When she was found, she was in rags and had nothing but a sword and a pistol.
Oh right, she still remembered her name!
[Group Owner Na: I'm back to life!]
[Special Operations Na: Yo, hello Group Owner. The seniors said yesterday that you're very amazing. You'll have to help me more in the future～]
[Niúmǎ Na: There's currently a rule in the group: when in doubt, just look for the Group Owner!]
Kiana's willow-like eyebrows twitched when she saw the message from Niúmǎ Na.
Good grief, it turned out this person had been leading the group members to praise her while she was away.
But based on the current combat power and efficiency of the group, she really could solve a lot of trouble for them.
[Group Owner Na: As long as it can be solved... but regarding world-ending crises, I recommend hiding in the Tavern first, and then waiting until the group chat gets a teleportation function...]
After all, neither 'Exchange' nor 'Synchronization' involved her actual body going over; she couldn't handle that kind of world-ending crisis.
Unless that world's Kiana herself wasn't an ordinary person, but a big shot with hidden settings.
Otherwise, going over would just be two deaths for one body.
[Niúmǎ Na: Speaking of which, the Rite of Descension is in a few days. Do you want to come and play?]
[Group Owner Na: Sure, should we do Synchronization or Exchange then?]
[Pretty Cure Na: Remember to livestream when the time comes, sisters! (Preparing for school.jpg)]
[Niúmǎ Na: Let's do... Exchange! I also want to experience the feeling of being in a high position!]
[Group Owner Na: Really? No regrets?]
[Niúmǎ Na: For sure, sister.]
"Niúmǎ is so kind. I'll just pile up all the official business for the two days before the Exchange～"
Just as Kiana was thinking about how to prank Niúmǎ Na, the bathroom door was pulled open.
???
Kiana straightened up, guarding her chest with one hand as she looked toward the door.
The bathroom was misty, but Kiana could make out the silhouette of the visitor through the fog.
When she saw the pair of ears on top of the person's head, she lowered her arm and breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought someone had broken in... "Feixiao, what are you doing in here? I'm still bathing."
"I know. Since you were already bathing, I thought we might as well wash together. We're both girls anyway."
As Feixiao spoke, she stepped in beside Kiana and stretched unreservedly in the bathtub.
Fortunately, the bathtub was large enough to accommodate two people with room to spare.
"Speaking of which, my whole body is sore after waking up. You were really amazing last night, Kiana."
"Ah???!"
Kiana's eyes widened and her mouth hung open, clearly shocked by Feixiao's words.
Because she had been drinking with Feixiao last night, she was a bit dazed by the end and didn't remember what happened at all!
Could it be that after drinking, she... Just as Kiana was letting her imagination run wild, Feixiao's next words put her mind at ease.
"I mean, you're too strong. I sparred with you after drinking yesterday, and I couldn't touch you at all."
And in the end, she had been knocked to the ground in a few simple moves.
Although she was crushed, Feixiao also benefited greatly from the sparring; it wasn't without gain. At least her martial arts had improved further.
After hearing Feixiao's words, Kiana patted her chest and let out a trembling sigh of relief.
"Phew... This Young Miss was scared to death... I thought..."
"What scared you...? Thought what?"
Hearing Kiana's slightly resentful tone, Feixiao's ears twitched slightly, and she looked at Kiana with a pair of bright, innocent, and puzzled eyes.
"No... it's nothing."
Kiana quickly shook her head, ending the topic.
Then, the two fell into a strange silence.
"I'm about done washing. I'm heading out first, Feixiao."
After Kiana stood up, she grabbed a bath towel with a smile and walked out.
Feixiao shrugged at this.
Kiana dried herself, wrapped the towel around her body, then used her clearance to dry her hair, tied it into a ponytail, and walked out.
Upon stepping out, Kiana smelled the aroma of food drifting in the air.
"There's someone else in my house?"
Kiana followed the scent toward the kitchen.
In daily life, when there was no crisis pressing on her nerves, Kiana wouldn't use her Qi to sense her surroundings at all times.
So she didn't know there were currently others in the house.
But since they were using her kitchen to cook, they were probably people she knew. Kiana wasn't on guard.
Besides, as the General of Warahip, who would dare to break into her home on her own turf?
Kiana soon arrived at the kitchen and saw two busy figures inside.
"Mei, and... Rita?"
"Kiana, you're awake. Your secretary..."
Bang——!
Upon hearing a man's voice in her home, Kiana's gaze instinctively sharpened. She raised a hand to tighten the bathrobe around her, and with the other hand, she casually threw a punch, sending the person who had patted her shoulder from behind flying.
"Ouch!"
"!!!"
Only then did Kiana realize—wasn't that her Stinky Old Dad's voice?!
She immediately looked behind her. Siegfried was sprawled on the floor on his stomach, his face swollen like a pig's head.
At that moment, Bianca and Cecilia walked out from other rooms in the house. Seeing this scene, they both burst into laughter.
