"Is this what it feels like to become a girl?"
Although his memories of the past were somewhat blurry, Nameless still remembered that he should have been male... right?
But such things didn't matter anymore. After all, for the current him, for the current Kerridwen and Hysilens, that was all in the past.
One must always look to the future, right? Besides, she currently had no way to find the past. If she followed the system's words and roleplayed different characters in various worlds, perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope?
"What needs to be done now is to do my best to roleplay these two characters... Fortunately, you gave me a 'One Soul, Two Bodies' template; otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have been able to adapt to the changes in having two bodies and different genders."
A petite frame and a voluptuous body brought completely different sensations. After possessing two bodies, Kerridwen and Hysilens had the most direct experience.
The strange sensation of friction between body and clothing already told her she had lost something and gained something else.
The white-haired girl named Kerridwen intended to turn her head to take a good look at the face of the one named Hysilens on the other side, but what met her eyes was an unexpected fullness.
After a brief daze, Kerridwen controlled the other body, Hysilens, to perform a simple jump. That fullness, as she expected, produced a very obvious bounce, just like a volleyball being slammed hard onto the water's surface, startling the entire surface into a turbulent wave.
Moreover, there was actually water on Hysilens's belly!
"Phew!"
Kerridwen's reaction was somewhat unexpected. She didn't show a jealous expression like a little girl; instead, she let out a sigh of relief.
"They say if your figure is too good, it's easy to lose your balance while walking... Now even I can experience what that feels like. I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky."
[Host, the world has been chosen for you. Please do not forget the system's tasks and the roleplaying of the characters.]
[When the system tasks are completed, the host can then end the current world and have the roleplaying degree evaluated. The system will issue rewards based on the host's current situation.]
[If the tasks are not completed, the host can also end the current world early, but as a price, the host will suffer a'severe punishment.']
Kerridwen, who was already planning to enter the first world, suddenly became interested after hearing about the so-called "severe punishment."
"Oh? Tell me, what exactly is this'severe punishment' of yours? Can it stir up my desire for victory?"
[Severe punishment refers to the thing the host least wants to encounter. Please do not test the Law yourself, Host, otherwise the consequences will definitely be very miserable.]
As if to remind the host, the system opened a screen directly in front of Kerridwen and Hysilens. It looked a bit like a mobile browser. The system then slowly moved the mouse cursor and finally placed it on the "Browsing History" column... Wait, what are you doing?
"System! Is this the consequence you're talking about?"
Hysilens's expression turned strange in an instant, and her tone of voice was like she was speaking through gritted teeth.
"Very well! You've successfully stirred up my competitive spirit. If that thing ever succeeds once, I'll take your last name!"
Because they were the same person, Kerridwen's face also completely darkened, losing her previous calm and composed manner.
But this made sense. After all, anyone who saw their own miserable state would not be able to remain calm.
Kerridwen and Hysilens swore in their hearts that they would complete the tasks no matter what and would absolutely not end any world early.
"Understood. Let's get started!"
Out of sight, out of mind.
As if to make this terrible system disappear from her sight as quickly as possible, Kerridwen hurried it to start the next world.
[Since the host has made up their mind, our journey begins at this moment.]
In a whirl of dizziness, the surrounding environment rapidly changed. Kerridwen and Hysilens, who were originally in an unknown region, arrived at an unknown snowy plain without anyone knowing how.
[Current World: akame ga kill!]
[Task 1: Overthrow the corrupt Empire and establish your own Northern Territory Empire.]
[Task 2: Recruit at least five named characters from the original work as subordinates.]
Looking at the panel that suddenly appeared, Kerridwen pondered for a moment and had a plan in mind.
But the immediate priority was to quickly leave this wasteland. After all, this was the world of akame ga kill. Besides those Teigu Users being threats, there were also special monsters called "Danger Beasts."
As the prototypes for the powerful Teigu of this world, while not every one of them would pose a threat to Kerridwen and Hysilens, they could still stall their progress and make them get lost in this snowy plain.
"Hysilens!"
The name of her most loyal subordinate escaped the petite Empress's mouth. Clearly, she had already entered her role and begun roleplaying the existence known as Kerridwen.
As seen from the plot, this cute Empress had quite a few characteristics. One was her fondness for addressing others by titles, most of which she thought up herself. Hysilens's Daughter of the Sea, Tibao's Destiny Duke, Aglaea's Golden Weave Duke, and Cipher's Swift-Foot Duke were all like this.
In addition, there were a large number of Golden Descendantss who had been bestowed titles, such as the Broken Peak Duke, Winter Rain Duke, and so on. If Kerridwen encountered suitable subordinates in the future, she would naturally have to bestow catchy titles upon them.
The second was being iron-blooded and ruthless. Being able to hold a title like Caesar naturally indicated that Kerridwen was not simple.
The mere act of sacrificing 500 Golden Descendantss in the plot to complete the Law Demigod trial was enough for Caesar to leave a deep impression in everyone's hearts.
But even as ruthless as Caesar was, it could be heard in her team-joining voice lines that this seemingly petite but ruthless monarch seemed to have a different feeling for the existence named Hysilens, clearly showing a bit more tenderness than for other characters.
"I am here, Caesar."
Responding to Kerridwen was naturally the mermaid's beautiful and moving voice. Besides absolute loyalty, there was also a similar tenderness.
Even if their relationship was that of sovereign and subject, they viewed each other as unique existences. In the plot, Hysilens had already spoken words akin to a confession... Perhaps that is exactly why the system matched these two as 'Best Partners'?
"Currently, there is no one else by my side but you, my dear subject. Do you still swear your loyalty to me and accept the title of 'Sword Rider'?"
The Empress looked at the knight beside her, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes. She maintained her posture with arms crossed, waiting for the knight's answer.
In the plot of honkai: star rail, the ending for Kerridwen and Hysilens left many people with regrets. But now... since this was role-playing, she would let herself be satisfied for once.
"Caesar, I neither yearn for the deep seas of my homeland nor long for the oceans beyond the heavens..." The knight's emotive gaze met the Empress's bright eyes directly. "I am but a fish; how could I ever leave the ocean that is my home?"
"Excellent, Daughter of the Sea!" Hearing this, the corners of the Empress's mouth curled upward. "Then join me in beginning the conquest of this world!"
"As you wish, Caesar."
