Kiana forcefully transforms into her mantis form to possibly escape the bomb that keeps exploding to her face and different parts of her body
Kiana's new appearance had her upper body exposed, she reveals a lean physique marked with glowing blue tattoos that pulse with energy. Her dark, form-fitting pants and armor pieces offer both protection and a regal appearance, adorned with blue accents matching her tattoos. Sturdy dark boots complete her combat-ready look.
The most striking feature is her large, ethereal wings, black with brilliant blue inner feathers, adding a majestic and intimidating presence, well not so intimidating as her figure is getting ricocheted and she wishes for the one causing this to stop. Luckily for her, her wish was heard because the one who did this to her ordered Queen Killer to stop "Finally, all that suffering and humiliation are over" She sighed in relief.
Kiana assumes that the one called Killer Queen is the one doing all of this torture to her, Even if she can't see Killer Queen she can feel it lurking in her surroundings but after Oreki orders Killer Queen to stop, she now can't feel Killer Queen which made her even happy to get out of this endless loop. However, the Killer Queen bomb did not stop yet as it would take a while for the remaining bomb to explode.
While Kiana was having a humiliating time, Fu Hua was quite angry! noticed something was odd at first during her observation of Oreki while trying to kill and chase him around but she dismissed it because during that time she was drunk power. However, now that she was sober from her drunken rage, she noticed that she had been chasing and attacking the afterimage of Oreki. "As expected from the Will the of Honkai" She praises Oreki inwardly but she then asks since when?
However, Fu Hua shook her head while thinking it did not matter and what mattered was that she noticed it. She looks around the vicinity of this radioactive place. She quickly saw her Oreki and he seemed to be holding a newspaper and pen. Upon closer look, he is playing and answering the crossword puzzle in the newspaper disregarding her effort and perseverance to kill him. This kind of behavior against an enemy tends to break their confidence and will but not her.
Fu Hua moves toward Oreki's back at a speed faster than a speeding bullet. When she arrives at her designated location, she aims both of her hands at Oreki as she gathers and creates fire again.
"Incinerate" Fu Hua shouted as she released the flame to Oreki's back. However, this time it's not a compressed flame but the firepower of this attack is much greater than that of the previous laser-like attack last time.
With a resounding boom after the fire erupted from her, Fu Hua watched the flames engulf Oreki without much resistance from him. However, she did not stop the flame as she kept on supplying with her Honkai energy. She kept on going until she was satisfied and made a statement she was not to be trifled with.
Even if she is weaker is prepared to die here and be able to reunite with Himiko and the rest of her friends.
Fu Hua who was monologing felt a tap on her shoulder, she turned her head just to be met with a pen to her cheek and the smug face of Oreki
"Boop"
Fu Hua swung a punch as soon as she saw the irritating face but he missed him. She looked towards him and stated, "You could have killed me there but you didn't, in fact you could've killed even before why?" She questioned, a bit insulting that he did not go for the kill.
"Duh, because I like you" Oreki shrug
"Eh?" Fu Hua made a confusing note before blushing. She might be a hardened veteran on the battlefield with countless experiences but deep down she is an innocent girl like all the girls in the MANTIS and Himiko too.
Wha… What are..are you saying all of the sudden" Fu Hua asked as she shuttered while still blushing and pointing her finger at Oreki. She has to ask and confirm if what she heard is right.
Oreki smirked as he thought "How easy, maybe I should use this cheat code in the future" He then teleported in front of the blushing Fu Hua. He pulled her towards him while putting his hand behind her waist and pressing her body to his "I like you, Inchou" He said in a low voice that was almost a whisper.
Fu Hua's innocent heart started beating faster even though she did not understand why he kept calling her Inchou but for some reason, she quite liked the pet name. She did not even notice that she transformed back to her Shadow Knight outfit "You…you can't say that!" She shouted while struggling to break free from Oreki's embrace.
"You want me to say it again?"
Oreki said with a smirk.
"But..but you're the Will of the Honkai." Fu Hua did not look in his eye while trying to get out of Oreki's embrace.
"Your friends said otherwise," Oreki said as he let go of Fu Hua while pointing in the direction of the Trio of Mei, Eden, and Aponia. The three are sitting on a chair while watching them and drinking wine though only Aponia and Eden are drinking wine as Mei is drinking tea made by the tea leaves.
Fu Hua distances herself away from Oreki after he lets her go. She then looked in the direction where he was pointing at.
Eden gave Fu Hua a thumbs-up while Mei tried to make Eden stop what she was doing.
From that exchange alone Fu Hua could guess what they meant making her blush even further.
Oreki teleported beside Fu Hua before asking with a smile "Shall we go?" Fu Hua nodded slowly in response. He holds her hand before teleporting to the location of the Trio.
Eden greeted them and teased Fu Hua by saying "I can't believe you fell for that kind of trick"
"But I didn't!" Fu Hua shouted as she defended herself.
"Then why are you still holding his hand" Eden retorted with a smirk.
Fu Hua did not retort back as she just let go of the hand of Oreki.
Oreki chuckles before moving swiftly in front of Eden. He then did the same thing he did to Fu Hua which made Eden fall for the same trick. Fu Hua smugly made fun of Eden after seeing that result
"Quite effective, I should do this to others too," Oreki said as he looked at Aponia and Mei. The two girls gave different reactions after hearing what he said with Aponia breathing raggedly while Mei back off slowly but it was too late as Oreki did a Kabedon Jutsu to her which was super effective.
"The assertive CEO is really popular with the ladies," Oreki said after seeing all of their reactions.
"Oreki-sama you should not use that on guys as they can also be affected" Aponia reminded
Oreki.
"Don't tell me.." Oreki said as he looked at Aponia who she nodded "Duly noted"
Then Kiana arrived and joined them as she asked the question of what the hell was going on.
Oreki was about to use his newfound power but Mei and Eden stopped her and they told him not to abuse that.
Oreki pouted as he agreed to them but he crossed his fingers behind him.
Fu Hua saw this and just sighed without saying anything but smile at this dynamic.
Mei then started explaining to Kiana about the deal to save this world.
Kiana frowns hearing all of this before turning to the main culprit "Are you really capable of doing that?" She asked while thinking about their dead comrades as maybe they don't need to sacrifice their lives.
"Let me asked you this. How do you want me to do this?" Oreki asked casually before giving them example "Should I reverse the time before the Herrsher of Reason attack? or should I just revived all the people who from the Herrshers attack! etc." He said while he observed the serious and thoughtful expression of the group "You girls discuss things on what to do and in meantime.." He looked up to the Moon before saying "I got to put the our flag in the Moon"
