Chapter 207 How to gain Black Shee's trust?
Looking at the ecstatic Qiong before her, Seele was momentarily at a loss for what to do.
Is this guy crazy?
"Seele!"
Qiong rushed forward excitedly. Xi'er was startled by Qiong's sudden action, but she did not move because even if Qiong observed her, she could not touch her—although she was reluctant to admit it, she was indeed just a quantum ghost and could not make any physical contact with a physical entity. If an object's movement path intersected, it would simply pass through her.
Seeing Seele like a frightened little rabbit, the considerate Qiong suddenly stopped: an ambiguous hug would scare Seele and then she would be chased and slashed by Black Seele with a scythe, right?
Thinking of this, Qiong reached out her hand.
"Hello, my name is Qiong! I'm your sister Bronya's good friend!"
Seele remained silent and did not respond to Qiong's outstretched hand, but simply watched him warily.
This reaction surprised Qiong: It doesn't make sense. Shouldn't Seele keep asking questions when Bronya is mentioned?
Was it because I called her by her first name too intimately? Or did Hei hope overpower Bai hope?
Perhaps it's a combination of both. After all, she's a stranger to Seele, and it's reasonable for a stranger to face her with Black Seele... Not wanting to be too awkward, Qiong could only pat Seele on the shoulder.
"It may seem unbelievable, but—"
As Qiong tried to gain Seele's trust, she seemed to frighten her, and Black Seele teleported backward, raising her scythe and holding it horizontally in front of her.
"You can touch me? It's one thing to be able to see me and hear me, but you can actually touch me? How is that possible? How is that possible?"
Because of that damned X-10 experiment, Seele and the others knew very well that they were mostly unobservable due to their quantization, making physical contact even more impossible. The only things they could actually contact were those quantum shadows that devoured the world bubble!
Faced with Seele's reaction, Qiong had to admit that she had been too excited and hasty. It seemed that this was the first time in a long time that Seele had been noticed and touched physically, which had given her a little fright...
Why was it such a coincidence? Qiong didn't consider that. His only priority right now was to appease Hei hope! Once Hei Xi was dealt with, there were plenty of ways to take away Bai Xi, that cute little girl who couldn't say no—provided that he knew the way back.
Thinking of this, Qiong rummaged through her pockets. There should still be two lollipops inside. No girl can resist candy—well, no, not to mention whether Kevin would beat them all up. Besides, he was wearing Bai E's clothes right now... Therefore, Qiong could only take two steps back to make a large safe space for Seele, who had two souls in one body, and showed a gentle and friendly smile.
Black hope, a bad kid who's all bark and no bite (only towards people she cares about, like White Xi; if someone she's not familiar with gets in her way, she might just send them to meet the King of Hell with a scythe). Compared to the seemingly easy-to-deceive, soft-spoken White Xi, this Xi'er? Freya is quite difficult to deal with in every sense of the word. Gaining her trust and help will probably take some effort.
“Miss Freya, anything is possible! Put down your scythe and let’s talk this over. I really am Bronya’s friend, and also with Rosalia—”
"Danheng!"
Suddenly, Seele saw Qiong's face twitch.
Bai E's voice came from not far away, and two white-haired people ran up to him with heavy steps.
"Why are you running around like that? I've been chasing you for ages."
"Bai'e, actually..."
The two panting figures suddenly appeared. Naturally suspicious and Black Seele looked at the two who had suddenly appeared with vigilance, gripping their scythes even tighter.
The Bai siblings had helped her a great deal, and Qiong quickly explained on their behalf—even though she herself hadn't gained the trust of that Hei hope.
“Miss Sifreya, they are my friends too, they are good people!”
"Danheng, who are you talking to?"
Bai E and Bai Yan looked in the direction Qiong was speaking, but there was nothing there.
"Huh? You can't see her?"
Bai E and Bai Yan looked bewildered, then exchanged glances.
"Can't see... what?"
Qiong realized something: it seemed that only she could see and touch Seele?

Every day at noon, the food stalls outside St. Freya Academy are busiest, attracting the largest crowds. The throngs of Valkyries always manage to completely block the road at this time—after all, nobody wants to eat cafeteria food every day. The skewers grilled over charcoal at the barbecue stalls are far more appealing than the unchanging menus of the cafeteria ladies.
For Kiana Kaslana, eating out was even more appealing—her family's cooking was, to put it mildly, terrible, and eating out wasn't about improving her meals, it was a necessity for survival.
"Mei, what do you want to eat?"
And today I'm eating out with Mei!
Mei just smiled gently, glanced at the dazzling array of food at the food stall, and then turned to look at Bronya.
"I'm fine with anything, Bronya, what about you?"
"Bronya, do as you please. Idiot Kiana, you can decide."
"Alright! Just wait and see what delicious food I'm about to give you! Watch me!"
Kiana excitedly looked around at the various stalls, glancing at the skewers, then at the spicy hot pot and takoyaki. Just as she was struggling to decide what to choose, a familiar stranger suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Ugh?!"
Kiana looked closely and realized it was that person who had suddenly appeared that day and then disappeared—what was his name again?
"you you you!"
"In March, someone called you?"
"It sounds like they're calling us?"
March 7th pointed to himself, still a little confused as to whether he had misheard.
But it didn't matter, it wasn't important. Since the other party had called out to him, March 7, who was still wondering where to find the "Heavenly Mandate Branch," immediately went up to ask for directions—the three of them had been asking around all the way, and they ended up at this school? They must have made a mistake, right? Heavenly Mandate's territory should be marked as a military base or something, shouldn't it?
"Excuse me, do you know how to navigate the path of destiny?"
"what?"
Upon hearing March 7's question, Kiana's mind went blank: What kind of question is this? Hasn't she already reached the Far East Branch's territory?
"Destiny? This is it!"
Kiana saw that March 7's eyes lit up with excitement.
"This is it? That's great! Danheng, Sunday, did you hear that? We've been looking for you for ages!"
Kiana's slow-witted mind didn't immediately register what was happening, and belatedly realizing she couldn't remember the pink-haired man's name, she simply remained silent.
After the cheers subsided, March 7th took a photograph out of his pocket and handed it to Kiana—it was a family photo of the train crew.
"Hello, I am March 7th! We are travelers from afar, looking for this person upstairs named..."
"Dead gray hair, and Aunt Himeko?"
"Hmm, you know Himeko?"
Dan Heng heard Himeko's name, and logically Himeko shouldn't be...
"In March, call Himeko to confirm if she has been here."
Kiana, in disbelief, ignored the three of them and continued looking at the photos.
"Oh no! Why, why is even Mr. Walter here!"
"You actually know Uncle Yang? That's great! Now we're all together again!"
The jubilant March 7th contrasted sharply with the tranquil Danheng, who spent his Sundays writing and drawing.
"Idiot Kiana, stop yelling!"
Bronya and Raiden Mei, who were floating, heard Kiana's sharp voice and, fearing they would embarrass the academy, rushed over to check what was going on.
Then they saw the people they least wanted to see and the people who only existed in photographs.
"Miss Silver Wolf, what are you doing with Huang..."
Completely oblivious to social cues, March 7 thought she had met an acquaintance and was about to go up and greet the two men with gloomy faces, but Dan Heng grabbed her and held her down.
"In March, they weren't, but that doesn't necessarily mean they were."
Dan Heng shook his head. He didn't want to spoil the mood, but if it wasn't true, the disappointment would only be greater. It was better to play it safe for now.
Hearing Danheng say that, March Seven's smile froze, but she still smiled again as she faced Raiden Mei and Bronya.
"Hi, hello! We are travelers from afar. I am March 7th, this is Danheng, and that is Sunday. We are here to find someone named Qiong..."
Even though he's not good at reading people, the two's grumpy faces (Bronya is just a nobody) made March Seven realize that he had inexplicably angered them.
"Danheng, what do you think?"
Could it be that Qiong did something heinous here and offended someone?
