Chapter 23: Noldrei: Let's Live-Stream Our Coronation
"See? I told you a lot of citizens would support my coronation, right?"
Noldrei gently nudged Twilight Sparkle (Raiden Mei) with his heels, urging her to walk a little more.
"Yeah, thanks for the gift, xxxxxxx. Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
Kiana was too lazy to argue with him. She was just worried about when Raiden Mei would rebel.
'How can you be so patient? No wonder you were bullied in school.'
Even she, the white-haired brat, couldn't stand it. How could he treat a human girl like this?
"Hey! Have you had enough fun? Get down already!"
Kiana pushed him, wanting to quickly rescue Raiden Mei from under him. At least the three ponies were wearing hats and riding gear, otherwise, it would be like they were naked in the street.
"Why are you kicking me off? You want me to ride you? You promised to let me ride you yesterday, but now you don't want to. So, I have to ride Twilight Sparkle, right?"
Noldrei thought she was being ridiculous. In the future, it was common for everyone to change forms and play with each other. But this counterpart was so conservative, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Kiana felt like Noldrei had said something he shouldn't have.
"We're still live-streaming, shut up! Shut up! How am I ever going to face anyone again!"
[Are they talking about some kind of forbidden play?]
[It's an adult topic.]
[They look like siblings, is that really okay?]
[Should we call the police?]
[Is Yosuga no Sora really okay?]
[Are you two also masters of the genkan?] (Note: "Genkan" refers to the entryway of a Japanese house, and "masters of the genkan" is a slang term for siblings who are romantically involved.)
[Foreigners really know how to play, they've definitely already done the incest thing.]
[You little brat, you wait! Kiana, wait for me! I'm going to Nagazora Street to find you! If you dare touch my precious daughter, I'll chop off one of your fingers.]
[Don't even think about touching my daughter!]
Unexpectedly, one comment sparked a chorus of agreement, and everyone started spamming the "daughter" meme.
Soon, the original comment was drowned out by the sea of comments.
"There are even people randomly claiming to be your dad. I remember your father went missing, right? Look, so many people like you. Take care of the audience more, and we'll make more money."
Noldrei was becoming more and more outrageous. By the time Kiana checked the comments, the screen was filled with "daughter" comments.
"Don't mess around, my old man is very powerful. You'll get punished if you randomly claim to be my dad."
"And he's not my brother, if anything, I should be her older sister!"
Kiana thought that she was born 130,000 years earlier than him, so she should be older than Noldrei.
"What are you thinking? I know you better than you know yourself. Can you even do that?"
Noldrei mocked Kiana for not being able to control her own body yet.
"I'll understand myself eventually! Don't bring up those things from back then, it's too embarrassing."
Kiana felt ashamed and annoyed when she thought about being "optimized" and "drilled."
Noldrei's mockery didn't hit the girl, but it did hit Overseer Otto's phone from afar.
Siegfried was instantly enraged and smashed the phone on the ground.
"You damn little brat! I'm going to find you right now!"
Otto looked down at his shattered phone, then at Siegfried, who was red with anger.
"Otto! You wait! I'll deal with you after I'm done with this! This must be a conspiracy you set up! How else would I see this live stream at this exact moment! Using a pretty boy to seduce my daughter, you despicable schemer, you wait!"
Siegfried left those harsh words and ran off. Otto didn't even have time to explain. Although he was used to being the scapegoat, he didn't need to take the blame for this.
In his opinion, Kiana's Herrscher gem must have been repaired. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to absorb the Honkai energy in Nagazora City.
But no matter how he looked at her, Kiana didn't seem like a Herrscher.
Could it be that something had happened that the Overseer didn't know about?
Otto looked at his handsome face reflected in the window.
"Siegfried, if I were really going to use a pretty boy to seduce her, I wouldn't have needed to find a pretty boy. And a Kaslana boy, at that..."
He considered his own appearance to be quite excellent.
"Something I don't know about must have happened. Aren't the Anti-Entropy people always making trouble?"
Coincidentally, there were two Anti-Entropy members in the live stream he had just been watching.
He just hadn't recognized them.
Kiana's search for her father had taken a major turn in an unexpected way. She was currently looking at the increasing live stream revenue, thinking about what good food she should eat tonight.
But then she remembered that Noldrei could get money from the bank as easily as going home, and the thrill of wealth instantly diminished.
'Sigh, people just don't cherish things that are easy to get.'
Kiana sighed at her destroyed sense of money. If she didn't count the modifications, her life as a wanderer after meeting Noldrei was probably the easiest time of her life.
She rubbed Raiden Mei's head hard and said, "Don't get used to this! Kick him off your back! Have some dignity as a... as a young lady!"
'If I don't listen, how am I going to ask him to turn me back?'
Raiden Mei's eyes were filled with helplessness as she looked at Kiana. If only Kiana would turn into a horse herself and replace her.
Looking at Kiana's strange body, she seemed like a fickle woman.
Compared to her, a "primitive" who couldn't change her genetic makeup, Noldrei clearly had higher expectations for this "counterpart" he had created.
'You take my place!'
Kiana understood Raiden Mei's horse language. She chuckled and decided to forget what she had said.
She had been thinking about having Noldrei solve the historical problems early, and had even promised to turn into a pony for him.
Now, she decided to break her promise.
It was too embarrassing, she absolutely couldn't turn into a pony so easily.
"Applejack, hurry up and follow me, don't even think about running away!"
Noldrei saw that Applejack-Coco-Lia was trying to escape again, and casually whipped her again.
Bronya considered her current low profile and decided to pretend she hadn't seen anything, silently following behind to show her obedience.
It was a killer's instinct. At least Noldrei wasn't the kind of guy who liked to play particularly perverted games.
He really just liked the look of ponies.
Kiana felt like the whip was hitting her.
"Be a little nicer to them, they're..."
Kiana was afraid that they would really be trained into ponies.
"Be nicer to them?" Noldrei thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, they'll be useless soon."
'What you're saying is too scary!'
Bronya thought to herself, she could even feel Raiden Mei's horse body shudder.
