Time in a collapsing world

One day, Zijing was taking a nap on the bed in his room. Suddenly, a light knock on the door woke him up from his light sleep.

"Come in." He rubbed his eyes, his voice still a little sleepy.

The door was carefully opened, and Cecilia's gentle face was the first to come in: "Sorry to disturb your rest..."

Theresa appeared next, and seeing that Amethyst looked like she had just woken up, she said, "Um... Jing, were you taking a nap? Should we come later?"

"No, I'm fully awake." Amethyst smiled and shook her head.

Kiana (genuine) popped out from behind her, holding a cute gift box in her arms: "We brought snacks! These are macarons made by my sister!"

"..."

Zijing looked at the last one who appeared, Kiana (Silin version), and felt a little strange. He remembered that Silin should not be able to make snacks.

"Well...it wasn't entirely my doing. Agatha and the others also helped..." Kiana (Sirin version) scratched her head and said embarrassedly.

"..."

Ah, I see. Most of them were done by Agatha and the others, right?

The four girls who used to be pseudo-law enforcers also settled in the headquarters and became Silin's playmates.

When they saw that Xilin had lost her memory, they did not show much reaction. After all, Cecilia had already given them a heads-up in advance and they knew roughly how troublesome Xilin's current condition was.

However, the girls would also talk to Celine about the past when they were together, but they deliberately concealed the dark experiences in the laboratory, trying to at least remind Celine of a little bit of their past friendship.

As a result, Xilin was confused and hid behind Cecilia, looking at her four old friends with suspicion.

Now she firmly believes that her identity is Kiana, not Xilin.

Zijing smiled and stood up, motioning them to come in and sit down. Cecilia sat elegantly on the sofa, while Kiana (genuine) excitedly opened the gift box, and the colorful macarons exuded a sweet aroma.

"Actually... I have something I want to ask you for help with." Cecilia stroked Kiana's (Sirin's version) hair, her tone gentle but with a hint of helplessness, "Regarding the construction project of the Saint Freya Academy in the Far East Branch..."

"Grandpa clearly promised it, but the document has been stuck at the headquarters approval stage for three months!" Theresa immediately responded, angrily saying, "Jing, go and take a look. Grandpa is very nice to you. If you come forward, it won't take much time for the document to be approved smoothly."

"I see..." Zijing took a bite of the macaron handed over by Kiana (Xilin version) and thanked her with a smile. After thinking for a moment, she nodded: "Okay, I'll try it."

This was a wish that Cecilia and Theresa had had for a long time, and Amethyst also knew more or less what they were thinking.

Although the destiny has changed a bit due to Otto's change of ideas and no longer conducts various cruel experiments like before, there are still some shortcomings that need to be improved.

For example, the training of a Valkyrie requires rigorous training to become a qualified Valkyrie. In this process, most of them will lose their normal life, or even worse, their lives.

Neither Cecilia nor Theresa want their children to experience such cruelty in the future. The Saint Freya Academy in their dreams is not only a military academy for training Valkyries, but also a place where girls can have a normal youth, receive education, and make friends.

By the way, after learning about this, Karin also agreed wholeheartedly.

"We want a place... where they can smile besides fighting." Cecilia said softly, her eyes gently falling on Kiana (Sirin version).

Xilin, or rather, she who firmly believed that she was "Kiana" at this moment, was carefully pinching a piece of pink macaron. After taking a bite, her eyes lit up instantly: "It's delicious! My cooking skills have finally improved!"

Seeing this, Kiana (genuine) showed a hint of envy on her face: "That's great... Why is it that we are all mothers' children, but only your cooking skills have improved so fast? This is not fair!"

"You inherited it from your father! I inherited it from my mother! We are different~" Kiana (Xilin version) was a little proud. She was kept in the dark and didn't know that her cooking skills this time were the result of a proxy.

"Dad is so useless!" Kiana (genuine) protested loudly.

"That's right!" Kiana (Xilin version) also nodded rapidly.

Looking at them, the other three people present all smiled knowingly.

Cecilia couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to rub their heads: "Okay, you two, be good in front of the owner of the room."

"Brother Zijing won't care." Kiana (genuine) said.

"That's right, mom, look at my brother, he's smiling so happily." Kiana (Xilin version) agreed, rolling her eyes and suddenly grabbing Zijing's arm, "By the way, brother, what do you think of the snacks this time?"

"Hmm...it's delicious." Zijing told the truth.

"Hehe...that's good. Next time I will make delicious snacks for you, brother, so stay tuned!" Kiana (Xilin version) was full of confidence because of her rare cooking success and didn't notice the strange expression on Zijing's face at all.

I hope that next time Xilin goes into the kitchen, there will be someone else to help.

The people of the Kaslana family...except for the ancestor Kevin, are not very good at cooking.

Zijing coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Theresa, regarding the specific plan for the construction of the academy..."

Theresa immediately perked up and took out a thick stack of blueprints from her bag. "Look! This is the design of the teaching building. This is the training ground, and there is also the dormitory area..."

Just as Theresa was explaining nonstop, there was a commotion at the door. Alicia came in with a bunch of dessert boxes in her arms. Seeing that there were other people inside besides Amethyst, she blinked and said, "Huh? It's so lively?"

"Aliceia? You're here again..."

Zijing felt helpless, as the other party would come every day and was the most frequent visitor to his room among all the others... If he didn't see him during the day, he would have to be on guard against whether he would appear by his bedside in the middle of the night.

"Are you here for an afternoon tea party this time?"

Zijing looked at the pile of dessert boxes in Alicia's arms, then looked at the table full of macarons, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly: "We already have enough desserts here..."

"Oh~ Of course the more desserts the better!" Alicia nimbly avoided Zijing who wanted to help, turned around like a ballet dancer, and placed the dessert box steadily on the coffee table, "Look, this is my special 'Pink Fairy Miss Special Cake'! Since there are other people here, come and taste my craftsmanship~?"
