The play The Thundering Theater, starring Kiana and Mei themselves, had already completely overturned the entire convention. The stage of the support convention continued to rotate, pushing the atmosphere to a peak higher than the last.
And if certain special emotional points were excluded, The Thundering Theater was not even the highest peak of this support convention.
All the major fan clubs had gone all out in this support convention, presenting one brilliant program after another, bombarding the aesthetic sense of all the audience members in turn.
The emotions in the venue were completely ignited. Outside of the performances, the cheers and applause hardly ever stopped.
The audience was completely immersed in this feast of faith, love, and talent.
The people who had struggled in the Honkai for six months were reminiscing about the past through this convention.
And those who had just arrived were also saying goodbye to the past through this convention.
Below the stage, Shu was also unprecedentedly invested, influenced by this atmosphere.
Mei and Kiana's program was like a key to the door of his heart. While unlocking his sealed memories, it also opened the floodgates of his emotions.
So they remembered so clearly...
So...
Have I actually forgotten so much myself?
At the moment he saw the familiar scene appear before his eyes so realistically, Shu didn't know what he was feeling.
That feeling that emerged from the bottom of his heart was very strange, like melancholy, and also like relief.
It gently plucked at Shu's heartstrings, the action as gentle as spring rain moistening things, as warm sun melting snow. It was a little uncomfortable, but it was covered by a thick barrier.
Shu savored it repeatedly, and the final answer he got was...
So you have remembered for me...
During the subsequent wonderful performances, they would also smile knowingly at the ingenious creativity, hold their breath for the shocking performances, and be moved by the sincere emotional expression.
Wonderful programs eventually come to an end, and before the end arrived, Mei and Kiana, who had finished their performance, had already returned to their seats in the front row from the backstage passage.
The two of them were still wearing the youthful white shirts and short skirts from the stage. Kiana's face was even slightly flushed with excitement from the performance.
She happily held Mei's hand, whispering excitedly in Mei's ear, the smile on her lips brilliant.
They walked along the aisle in front of the first row, and when they passed the seating area of the [Kiana Energy Station], they inevitably had to pass in front of the two "Stelle" sisters.
Shu and [Shu] maintained their natural sitting posture, their eyes on the stage, as if they were focused on the host's transition words.
However, just as Kiana passed behind them, her footsteps paused almost imperceptibly.
The girl seemed to have seen invisible threads in the air, and following these "invisible" threads, Kiana almost subconsciously turned her head sharply.
Strange.
Something's not right there.
The Kaslana family's almost unreasonable intuition was violently impacting Kiana's senses.
But there were only two seemingly ordinary people there.
Mmm... Kiana didn't see the appearance of "Stelle". Previously, Kiana had already revealed that she had checked Shu's memories through the Book of Time, so Shu had deliberately given Kiana some "special treatment."
Was it a disguise?
Kiana felt that her eyes were deceiving her, and her ears and sense of smell were also rebelling together.
Hmm?!
Mere eyes, how dare you deceive me?!
I'll show you who's the master of this body!!
Kiana frowned, squinted her eyes, and even pouted her lips with effort.
She tried hard to concentrate her attention, wanting to "see" the truth beneath that cover.
The air seemed to stagnate for half a second.
At this critical moment—
"Kiana."
Bronya's calm, emotionless voice came from not far away, not loud, but it drilled into Kiana's ears as clearly as a precisely targeted interference wave.
Kiana's thoughts were interrupted by this call.
Her condensed attention instantly dissipated like a balloon pricked by a needle.
She blinked her eyes in a daze and turned to look at the source of the voice.
Bronya looked at her with droopy eyelids, holding the various merchandise she had bought with nowhere to put them.
More importantly, in that short moment of distraction, Kiana's keen intuition returned with a final comprehensive judgment:
It is indeed strange there.
But... there is no malice.
Kiana had no premonition of danger, nor did she feel any killing intent or ill will towards anyone. She didn't even feel the slightest sense of unease.
On the contrary, Kiana could feel a familiar and reassuring warmth from the figure that made her feel "strange."
Like leaning against a warm stove in winter, or returning to a safe base when tired.
...Hmm? Familiar?!
A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Kiana's mind. The answer was about to come out, she just needed to turn her head to confirm...
"Did the idiot Kiana sneak back to surprise Bronya?" Bronya's inorganic voice once again called back Kiana's attention.
Kiana's attention was completely dissipated.
Under Bronya's repeated interruptions, the priority of investigating that strange place was successfully pushed back a level in Kiana's mind.
"Hmph! I came back specially for Mei's performance tonight!" Kiana put one hand on her hip and puffed out her chest proudly. "It's not to surprise the idiot Bronya!
"Oh~ or is it~" The proud Kiana with her hand on her hip suddenly froze, and then a teasing expression appeared on her face. "Is the little shorty Bronya so scared at night without me that she can't even sleep?"
Bronya's dead fish eyes drooped even lower, showing a strong sense of contempt.
But she didn't say a word. Instead, she watched Kiana sit down beside her carelessly and put her arm around her shoulders.
"Aiya! Although I know I'm very charming and have a great sense of security, Bronya, you're a big kid now, and you still have Seele to... eh? What's this?"
Kiana, who was patting Bronya's shoulder, suddenly saw what Bronya was holding in her arms. Her intuition radar started beeping again, and this time...
She felt "malice" from the shorty!
Bronya's hand holding the merchandise tightened slightly, and she even turned her body at an angle, as if to block what was in her hand.
Such a clumsy attempt to cover up made Kiana's frown even tighter.
"Bronya, look! What's that!" Kiana's expression suddenly changed, and she pointed at the ceiling in surprise.
Hearing that Kiana was directly using the lines from the performance, and hadn't even changed the words, Bronya: "..."
She raised her head and looked in the direction Kiana was pointing.
I'm trapped!
A cold light flashed in Kiana's eyes. With a "smack," she reached out her hand and snatched the box from Bronya's hand with the same technique she had used to snatch Mei's rice ball, and then looked at it carefully!
Hmm?!
Why is it me?!
Kiana tremblingly put the exquisite figure that was almost identical to herself back into Bronya's arms, and then silently squeezed closer to Mei.
