"It's you, Coach... cough cough, Jiang Mu."
The visitor was pleasantly surprised to see Jiang Mu, but quickly composed himself.
"I've told you so many times, don't call me Kiana anymore, just call me Bianca!"
With a puffed-out face, the blonde girl in front of him said angrily.
"Yes, yes, little Bianca..."
Jiang Mu nodded, still grinning.
"You bastard..."
Bianca... that is, Durandal looked at Jiang Mu, sighed, and then asked.
"So, why are you in this world now?"
"This..."
Jiang Mu smiled and gave a brief account of what had happened to him during this period.
"So that's how it is..."
Yulandel nodded and asked Jiang Mu.
"So what are you planning to do next?"
"To be honest, I don't know..."
Jiang Mu gently patted the little head that had been staying by his side, its big eyes blinking as it stared intently at him under the moonlight, and whispered.
"However, the most important thing right now is to finish dealing with things here and restore this world bubble to normal."
"Hey, humans..."
Suddenly, Yuexia gently tugged at Jiang Mu's sleeve and whispered.
"If the anomaly here is resolved, then...would you...?"
Looking at Yuexia's pitiful appearance, Jiang Mu smiled and gently tapped Yuexia's little nose.
"Why think so much? Right now, the most important thing for me is to spend time with you and finish the things we didn't do together last time."
"Really!"
Upon hearing this, Yuexia's eyes immediately lit up, and a surprising glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Mu!
"Yes, really."
Jiang Mu nodded in confirmation.
"Yay!"
Yuexia jumped up excitedly and then ran to the kitchen, chattering away beside Himeko who was cooking.
Looking at this heartwarming scene, Jiang Mu smiled, turned to look at Youlandail, and said softly.
"So, what do you want to do after coming to this world bubble? I remember... you should have completely absorbed the energy of your original small world bubble by now, right?"
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you..."
Upon hearing this, Durandal shook her head helplessly and said softly.
"I'm here this time actually at Bishop Otto's request..."
"What's coming?"
Jiang Mu said excitedly.
"I came to find you."
Durandal's words were startling.
"Huh?"
Jiang Mu was somewhat bewildered.
"It's like this..."
Durandal shrugged.
"After you died, Seele also suddenly disappeared for some reason."
"Cough cough..."
Jiang Mu raised his hand, somewhat embarrassed.
"Please call this a passing..."
"Oh, after you died..."
Durandal continued.
"Uh... never mind, you can continue..."
Jiang Mu chose to surrender. Yulandel was actually a bit stubborn; it was best not to argue with her about things like this…
"good."
Durandal nodded and continued.
"After Seele disappeared, Theresa and Bronya thought Seele had gone to find you, and then they found out what you were thinking. After that, after discovering that you were dead, they went to find Otto."
"No, I'm telling you..."
Jiang Mu hurriedly interrupted.
"Since I'm already dead, why are you still looking for me...?"
"That's because Kiana... K423, discovered a powerful spatial portal at the original location, and although the ground was covered in your blood, your body had vanished without a trace."
"Then Otto thought that made sense, so he sent me."
Durandal was also somewhat helpless.
"After all, Seele isn't here, so you're the one who knows the Sea of Quanta best..."
Jiang Mu smiled, then looked at Yulandel and asked with a smile.
"So, what are your plans next?"
Although Jiang Mu was smiling, for some reason, Yulandel felt a sudden surge of danger emanating from him…
It's like...
Could they attack her at any moment?
"Otto's mission for me is to bring you back..."
"I can't help it," said Durandal helplessly.
"However, I still intend to hear your opinion before making a decision."
"Hmm, that's more like it..."
Jiang Mu nodded in satisfaction and continued.
"What if I don't plan to go back? What will you do? Will you force me to go back?"
Upon hearing this, Durandal was visibly taken aback for a moment, then immediately waved her hand.
"How could this be? How could I do such a thing..."
"Hmm, that's a good girl..."
Jiang Mu gently patted Yulandel's head and smiled.
"Hello!"
Yulandel shook her head in dissatisfaction and flung Jiang Mu's hand away.
"Don't treat me like a child!"
"Hahaha……"
Jiang Mu burst into laughter.
"After all, Bianca, you're just an ordinary child..."
………………
Jiang Mu still remembers the moment he first met Bianca, or rather, Zhenqi.
At that time, she had just been abandoned by Siegfried, and could only watch helplessly as he took away her clone, K423...
When Jiang Mu entered her room, Bianca looked up and stared at him blankly.
What kind of eyes were those...?
Words like "lifeless" and "deadly" are no longer sufficient to describe it...
That was despair...
Despair over this whole world...
The despair of having lost all hope for one's future...
Jiang Mu thought for a moment, then walked up to Yulandel without saying a word and gave her two powerful blows.
Bianca, her cheeks flushed red from the slap, looked up at Jiang Mu with a bewildered expression.
Jiang Mu hardened his heart and coldly gave the order.
"stand up."
"I don't!"
Bianca got temperamental and simply lay down on the ground, refusing to do anything.
"hehe……"
Jiang Mu smiled, pulled her up, and, suppressing his reluctance, punched her twice more.
"From now on, I will be your coach."
With that, Jiang Mu slowly walked out the door, leaving behind a single sentence.
"You will have one day to rest. After that, I will subject you to the most rigorous training."
"I hope you won't let me down, Kiana Kaslana."
"That's not my name!"
Suddenly, little Kiana erupted.
"I'm not... I'm not Kiana anymore..."
Forcing back her tears, little Kiana murmured.
"That's easy."
Jiang Mu waved his hand.
"From now on, your name will be Bianca..."
"Bianca..."
Kiana... no, I should say Bianca stood there, stunned, muttering to herself.
………………
(Those who have played Honkai Impact 3rd should know that the world Jiang Mu is currently in is actually a bubble within the Sea of Quanta, or in simpler terms, a parallel world. That is, after the attack, Jiang Mu's soul was directly hacked into this parallel world. I've noticed many people don't understand this part, so I'll explain it here. You're welcome, hehe~)
