Chat Group : Another Fate From Honkai

Morning light spilled through the clouds in soft golden beams, gently illuminating the quiet, pastel-toned bedroom.

The sharp brightness stirred the white-haired girl from her slumber.

Her eyelids fluttered open with effort, still heavy with fatigue, and her mind hazy and unfocused.

With a faint, weary hum, the heiress Kiana's long lashes trembled, as though she were waking from an unusually deep sleep.

Her blue eyes, now slowly coming into focus, still held traces of fragmented memories.

Lifting her head, her once-blank gaze became sharper, flickering with awareness as she took in her surroundings.

She immediately froze.

There—snuggled into Nagami's chest like a sleepy kitten—was her other self.

A single ahoge bounced playfully on her head, and her delicate lips curved into a soft, contented smile, as radiant and gentle as a blooming flower.

The air was thick with a strange scent, and behind her, the soft sensation of skin against skin.

Turning slightly, she caught a glimpse of a tangle of snowy white and pale green hair.

As full consciousness returned, the heiress processed what she was seeing.

The scene before her was just too absurd.

It felt like a surreal dream… or maybe a hyperreal illusion.

She couldn't tell the difference.

Her lips parted slightly, cool morning air filling her lungs like a splash of icy spring water.

'What the hell… did I do last night?!'

Her pale, delicate face instantly turned crimson. Her whole body trembled slightly.

'Aaaahhhhhh!!'

w(ﾟДﾟ)w

She screamed internally, completely losing it.

————————————————————————

[True Kiana]: It's too early for screaming. You're being loud and annoying.

————————————————————————

Stretching lazily, True Kiana casually gathered her long white hair from where it draped across Nagami's chest, stifling a yawn.

She sat up slowly and rubbed her sleepy eyes, then shot the other girl a cold, annoyed glare.

They were so close now that the young lady could clearly sense True Kiana's mood, which was practically screaming: Woken up too early. Very irritated.

It was just like last night—emotions crystal-clear.

————————————————————————

[True Kiana]: I warned you yesterday. Leave, or suffer the consequences. Regretting it now?

————————————————————————

Brushing a soft strand of hair behind her ear, True Kiana revealed her dainty, perfectly shaped ear with deliberate elegance.

————————————————————————

[Kiana]: I'm not regretting it!

[Kiana]: It's just that… I mean… our first time… Isn't this a bit too much?

————————————————————————

She hadn't said it aloud, but unfortunately, at such close range, their minds were practically fused together.

True Kiana could easily pick it up.

Her eyes instantly turned sharp, her body emanating a faint dark aura, teetering on the brink of snapping.

Her ocean-deep blue eyes narrowed into icy slits, a bitter chill gathering within their depths.

————————————————————————

[True Kiana]: You've got some nerve!

[True Kiana]: You think I wanted to share him with you?!

[True Kiana]: You just had to show up and ruin everything at that moment…!

————————————————————————

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, True Kiana clenched her fists tightly.

————————————————————————

[The heiress]: You…!!

————————————————————————

Though she was clearly upset, she also understood.

She'd barged in on them, overwhelmed by the surge of emotion from True Kiana's mind.

Her own thoughts had gotten swept away by the flood—leading her to do things she never imagined she'd actually go through with.

Yes, the idea of resurrecting their mother was exhilarating and moving… but even so… wasn't this a bit—

True Kiana, having read all that without effort, gracefully slid out of Nagami's arms.

With an almost mischievous smirk, she turned to Kiana.

————————————————————————

[True Kiana]: Oh? That so? Then who was it last night screaming in her heart—

[The heiress]: AAAHHHH!!!

————————————————————————

It was as if a screeching marmot had screamed inside her brain. She cut off True Kiana's thought mid-sentence.

————————————————————————

[The heiress]: SHUT UP!

[The heiress]: This damn telepathic shared-mind system!!

[The heiress]: Aren't you even a little ashamed of yourself?!

————————————————————————

Of course she was.

Any girl would be.

But the overwhelming joy at the thought of reviving their mother—and her feelings for Nagami—had made her push it aside… for a moment.

Now, with the heiress bringing it up, the shame quickly came rushing back.

True Kiana pursed her lips as her chest heaved slightly, her heartbeat picking up again.

————————————————————————

[The Heiress]: Heh~ Look at you pretending to be all cool and aloof, when you're clearly just suppressing it!

[True Kiana]: Damn this telepathic syncing ability…!

————————————————————————

The thought flashed across True Kiana's mind—and naturally, Kiana caught it instantly.

Her lips curled into a smirk of smug superiority.

This situation made lying to each other totally impossible.

Not only could they read each other's emotions clearly, but even physical sensations would synchronize with contact.

What had led to last night's… unprecedented experience… was now being wholeheartedly cursed.

————————————————————————

[The heiress]: Wow, and here I thought you were so composed. Turns out you're just barely holding it together!

————————————————————————

In certain situations, girls have a natural instinct for sarcasm—without ever needing to be taught.

And right now, true Kiana was showing off her full potential.

But she'd regret that smugness very, very soon…

The beds in St. Freya's dorms were large, fluffy, and absurdly comfortable.

If it were just one person, you could easily sprawl out in all directions and even spin in circles while sleeping.

But four people? That was… well, a bit cramped.

C.C., her, True Kiana, and Nagami.

With two white-haired girls sandwiched in the middle, physical contact was inevitable.

————————————————————————

[True Kiana]: Now then... have you forgotten we're still linked by shared senses, my dear other me?

————————————————————————

She smiled sweetly, but there was an unmistakable glint of mischief in her eyes.

————————————————————————

[The heiress]: Wait—what are you doing? Stop right there!

————————————————————————

The moment she sensed what True Kiana was planning, The heiress instinctively clung to her arm.

But she was a step too late.

True Kiana had already curled her body and began snuggling into Nagami's chest.

————————————————————————

[The heiress]: I said stop!!

————————————————————————

Watching True Kiana slowly inch downward, The heiress was struck with sheer panic.

Before her body could fully react—while the sensations were still mild—she sprang from the bed like a bolt of lightning.

Grabbing what looked like C.C.'s nightwear from the floor, she slipped it on and bolted for the door.

————————————————————————

[The heiress]: You just wait!!!

————————————————————————

Once the door slammed shut behind her, True Kiana finally stopped.

She sat up slowly in Nagami's embrace, her fair neck flushed red with shame.

Lowering her head, she bit her lip, overwhelmed by the awkwardness of what she had just done.

If The heiress hadn't started throwing shade, she wouldn't have resorted to such a self-sabotaging move either!

A thousand damage to the enemy… at the cost of a thousand to herself.

Her delicate, flawless cheeks were as red as ripened peaches. After what felt like ages, she finally exhaled deeply.

"…She's gone now. Still not gonna get up?"

Of course The heiress couldn't sense it lying next to C.C.—but True Kiana, being in Nagami's arms, definitely could.

And The heiress had picked up on that, which was why she ran.

"Phew…"

Nagami inhaled and slowly exhaled, doing his best to calm the storm brewing in his chest.

Sure, he never claimed to be a saint, but even so, this sudden development had left him feeling awkward and unsure of how to react.

Shaking his head to dispel the confusion, he tried to escape this strange mindset by switching into Lumine's way of thinking…

And then…

"Morning, Sirin~"

"Don't call me that right now, geez!"

She gave him a feeble punch to the chest, then suddenly paused, lowered her head in thought for a couple of seconds…

"…Actually… that doesn't sound so bad."

Whoa whoa— are you breaking down or something!?

If we're going for chaos, might as well go all the way, huh?

"Well, since we're both up, time to get out of bed~ my dear!"

A sweet voice. A radiant smile. And that beautiful, almost reborn face.

Nagami couldn't help but stare.

In those deep, ocean-blue eyes shimmered a light he'd never seen before—playful and excited, like a perfect blend of The heiress and the ever-adorable pest.

It was the first time he'd ever seen this side of True Kiana.

Seems like the "revive mother-in-law" plan… needs to be moved up.
