Interestingly enough…
When Elysia and the others first met Jyahnar, they were a little thrown off.
What the hell, the size is all wrong!
Wasn't she supposed to be a cool, aloof beauty?
How did she turn into a silly, adorable little... being?
"Wait a second…"
"Oh!"
"Almost forgot, that's the future!"
Yes.
Everyone just naturally accepted this explanation.
In the Sky Screen, when Jyahnar appeared as a guest, it was tens of thousands of years later.
She was a mature beauty then.
She's smaller now.
So, isn't it just the being growing up into the beauty?
Totally understandable.
Still, no matter how many reservations Elysia had about Jyahnar before her arrival…
After actually meeting Jyahnar, she quite liked her. Jyahnar, staying true to her initial feelings, remained somewhat dismissive of Elysia.
But!
Elysia was all too familiar with girls like this.
She could handle a whole bunch of them with ease.
They say even the best woman fears a persistent suitor.
When a girl like her takes the initiative, how many can truly refuse?
In fact!
Even if she were rejected, Elysia wouldn't mind.
Otherwise, why would Mobius pull that grumpy cat face every time she saw Elysia in the lab?
Didn't Elysia still drop by daily?
Because Elysia could sense that Mobius didn't genuinely dislike her.
Similarly, she could feel that even though Jyahnar was very dismissive and didn't like playing with her, seeing her as a true rival in love…
But!
It wasn't real disgust either.
Perhaps, thanks to Elysia, Jyahnar was able to integrate into this big family faster, instead of remaining an outsider.
After all, besides Kiana, or 'Mama' Kiana, the only one truly willing to dote on her with such easy familiarity was Elysia.
Wasn't that right?
Just think about it~
Eden was relatively quiet and reserved.
A bit more abstract in her thinking.
Aponia always stayed in the role of an observer—not taking initiative, not refusing, not participating.
She still saw herself merely as Kiana's lover, with no ambition to change that.
Sakura was the type who habitually kept a low profile.
Rin, while also lively, was still a little afraid of Jyahnar.
Because sometimes, in her room or the living room, Jyahnar would revert to her original form, albeit shrunk down countless times, and just lay sprawled out there.
Ever since she got a fright once while sneaking a snack late at night, Rin had been avoiding Jyahnar somewhat.
It was hard to say if Jyahnar did it on purpose.
But even if it wasn't intentional, she didn't care.
If Rin kept her distance, she'd probably thank her lucky stars.
Because she genuinely preferred peace and quiet.
Was one Elysia not enough?
Did she really need another one?
She wasn't having it.
Frankly!
She had remembered what Kiana told her before.
And it was indeed quite effective.
While she didn't really care for the other girls, feeling they had stolen Kiana away…
If not for them, Kiana would be hers alone.
Thinking like this… the more she thought, the angrier she got!
Yet, if you talked to her or asked her to do something, she wouldn't refuse.
In the end, she still considered Kiana's feelings and saw the other girls as part of the group.
And as the days passed little by little, everyone came to understand Jyahnar's personality more or less.
Once familiar and accustomed, it really wasn't a big deal.
Among the girls, there were all sorts of personalities anyway—boisterous ones like the Great Magician Vill-V, or the slightly mischievous ones like Miss Snake.
As long as they weren't genuinely bad news, everyone could be tolerated.
After all, when you got down to it, they were all gathered around Kiana, sharing the same fondness for her.
Kiana preferred everyone to get along peacefully.
So, peaceful coexistence it was.
Occasional little bouts of jealousy were just a bit of fun.
As long as it didn't go too far!
Mobius got her wish and obtained various samples from Jyahnar.
The Great Magician Vill-V had once put on a magic show for Jyahnar.
But Jyahnar simply didn't understand what she was doing.
She didn't even know how to play along.
She just watched you calmly.
It was practically no different from ignoring you.
This really bothered the Great Magician.
So much so that she vowed never to perform for Jyahnar alone again.
"Oh!" Jyahnar said, 'Fine. I wasn't watching anyway.'
Although everyone knew this was an easy way to get under Vill-V's skin, they were all quite gentle, so they usually didn't do it.
So!
It was only when she met Jyahnar that she truly got a taste of frustration.
But then again, if it taught her a lesson and made her rein it in a bit, maybe it wasn't so bad?
But!
Gradually, gradually…
It became apparent.
Jyahnar was seriously lacking in common life knowledge.
It wasn't that she understood nothing.
But in daily life, it led to quite a few comical moments.
It was an endearing trait, for sure.
But if possible! Kiana also hoped she would study more, learn more. Integrate better into society.
Not just let it be.
She really needed some proper training after all!
"Aiyah~ Such a fun task, of course it should be left to Miss Pink Elf~"
"Don't worry! Kiana… You can count on Elysia for this!"
Elysia, catching wind of it, rushed right over.
Before Kiana could even say anything, Miss Jyahnar, resolute and without a second thought, refused.
"I don't want to."
She said.
"I don't like you!"
She didn't have any major issues with the others.
But with Elysia… she felt a sense of crisis.
After all, this rascal was the Origin, Kiana was the Finality.
The chosen fiancée, the child bride, a match made in heaven, no doubt about it.
And herself?
She was the accompanying Honkai beast.
Also a fiancée! Also a child bride! Also a match made in heaven!
Didn't that mean their attributes directly overlapped?!
Especially since she could feel that everyone always mentioned her and Elysia together.
Although, to the outside world, everyone thought she was still on her way, creating a feeling of temporal dislocation between telescope observations and reality, unaware that she had already arrived on Earth.
But so what?
Thinking it over, her true rival was probably Elysia.
Therefore, no matter how much Elysia tried to win her over, Miss Jyahnar remained steadfast.
She wouldn't waver!
She didn't mind Kiana finding her a teacher to teach her some things.
But she didn't want that teacher to be Elysia.
Otherwise, it felt like a loss.
As if she was immediately one step below her.
That just wouldn't do!
"How about Eden, then?" Kiana wondered.
Jyahnar was currently in her ray form.
She lay softly draped over Kiana's head, like she'd settled in for a nap.
She liked it that way.
