"I'm so bored, Sister. I want to cause some trouble..."
"No causing trouble. If you're bored, go find Mei..."
Bianca sternly rejected Kiana's application to cause trouble.
When others cause trouble, it's usually just for laughs, but if Kiana causes trouble, Bianca feared she might blow Taiyin Mansion sky-high.
Kiana curled her lip at the words; this was a lack of trust. How much trouble could she possibly cause?
She just wanted to use her clearance over Sentience to swap the consciousnesses of the girls on the Wangshu for a day and see what fun things would happen.
At that moment, in a distant star system, the radar on Aha's head suddenly lit up.
[Aha sensed some fun, but the fun vanished in a flash! Missing out on fun makes Aha so sad!]
...Since her sister wouldn't let her cause trouble, then... she'd swap bodies with a group member for fun. Her own body was too strong; she'd go mess around with a group member's!
And even if a group member's body couldn't handle the Divine Throne and Ultra Instinct... the clearance from the Hall of Valhalla, Super Saiyan Meow, and the kabbalah tree of life would surely be enough for self-defense.
As for Kiana's other purpose in swapping bodies, it was to recover souls.
Because becoming intimate with group members required a sincere exchange; otherwise, it would be impossible to collect all the soul fragments in the end.
Swapping to absorb them was the most reliable way.
After all, she didn't want to become a scumbag who deceived her own emotions; some feelings couldn't be forced.
As for Special Ops Na... ahem, that was purely a disaster caused by Kiana failing to control her own damn hands... "Who should I swap with..."
She scanned the avatars of the group members, feeling a bit of indecision.
And so... [Group Owner Na: Do any sisters want to experience being an Astral Express General? I want to swap and experience life with you!]
[Human Emperor Na: I'm tempted, but I'll consider it later...]
[Sake Kiana: Want to swap with me? School is so boring...]
[Group Owner Na: Ahem, let's swap when you're on break. Be a good girl and go to class! @Sake Kiana]
Even though that world had Madoka, who was cute and lovely, Kiana didn't want to be imprisoned in a classroom!
That wasn't swapping to experience life; that was experiencing a prison sentence.
[Little Moonlight: The Satsuki Sho is about to start, so I won't swap this time.]
[Group Owner Na: Don't worry, while Uma Musume racing is interesting, experiencing it once is enough...]
[Pretty Cure Kiana: I just became able to transform today. Want to swap with me, Group Owner Sister~?]
"Being a General, I kind of want to try that!"
Sitting next to Kazuka, Pretty Cure Kiana looked at the floating light screen in front of her with anticipation.
"Being a what General...?"
Sitting opposite her, Chiyu Sawaizumi tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
Pretty Cure Kiana's voice wasn't quiet, and Kazuka and the others sitting close by could hear her perfectly.
"It's just..."
Pretty Cure Kiana explained terms like Astral Express and General to Kazuka and the others, who were unfamiliar with them.
"Oh~ So it's an existence like the Empress!"
Stars twinkled in Kazuka's eyes.
Another existence full of such fantasy; Kiana's alternate-world counterparts were all so amazing!
At this, Hinata and Chiyu, as well as their partners, were also very interested.
Especially the Healing Animals who were their partners; they were even wondering if such an existence could directly take out the Illusion King who made the world sick.
"I'll ask again!"
[Pretty Cure Kiana: @Group Owner Na, want to swap?]
[Group Owner Na: Sure. If Little Pretty Cure wants to experience the daily life of a General, just click me to swap~]
Seconds after Kiana sent that message, a notification popped up here that Pretty Cure Kiana had applied to swap.
She looked left and right, then adjusted her posture, wrapping her arms around her sister's waist and burying her head in her sister's shoulder, looking like a pair of close sisters.
???
Bianca's brow twitched slightly as she looked at the white head beside her.
Although she didn't understand what Kiana meant, it didn't interfere much with her work, so she didn't scold her sister... [Group Owner Na agreed to Pretty Cure Kiana's swap request]
Then her vision blurred, and the scenery before Kiana's eyes changed... she had swapped with a group member once again.
This time, she wouldn't leave the group member's body in a tattered state.
If things got bad, she'd just call for help using the Hall of Valhalla.
Anyway, quite a few people had already entered (died into) the Hall of Valhalla now, so there were plenty of people she could summon.
"Kiana...?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing a voice calling her name by her ear, Kiana looked up.
A cute girl with short chestnut-brown hair was watching her with a worried look.
This must be Hana-dera Kazuka. She looked even cuter in person than on the livestream.
Beep—
[Pretty Cure Kiana: Group Owner Sister, why are you in a big sister's arms?!!!]
"Wuhu~ Scared you, didn't I? Hee hee!"
Kiana was very satisfied with Pretty Cure Kiana's reaction; this was a posture she had specifically adjusted.
[Group Owner Na: @Pretty Cure Kiana, Little Pretty Cure, is it comfortable lying in my sister's fragrant and soft embrace~?]
[Pretty Cure Kiana: So it was your sister. You scared me to death... (patting chest.jpg)]
[Group Owner Na: By the way, do I need to disguise my speech to match your habits?]
[Pretty Cure Kiana: I told them about the swap before I came, so there's no need to hide it!]
"I see, so you all know."
Kiana calmly scanned the three young girls and the group of Healing Animals sitting beside her.
After being scanned by that aura-filled gaze, Kazuka plucked up her courage and asked:
"Are you Kiana's alternate-space-time counterpart who is a General?"
"If there are no other Generals, then that would be me: Kiana Kaslana, the General Taiyin of the Wangshu Astral Express."
As she spoke, Kiana reached out a finger to tease the cute dog named Latte.
Mimi, meanwhile, climbed onto Kiana's head, looking down curiously to see exactly what had changed about her little master.
But after looking for a long time... whether it was the scent or the appearance, the master was still the master; there was no change at all, meow.
"Hey, hey, can you take us to the Wangshu Astral Express to play?"
Hinata's eyes sparkled, and she spoke in a lively and expectant tone.
Having heard of such a magical place, she definitely had to go and see it if she had the chance; otherwise, she felt her life would be full of regrets.
"Not right now. The worlds are too far apart, so it's not easy to teleport you over."
Kiana shook her head, shattering the twin-tailed girl's fantasy.
It might not be possible now, but maybe in the future?
Currently, each group member could only bring one person during a group traversal. In the future, they might be able to bring more.
As for letting Kiana bring them herself?
While it wasn't impossible, crossing worlds required prior communication with those worlds; otherwise, a violent crossing might get her blacklisted.
"Oh, right, when do those Giant Sick Monsters native to your world usually appear?"
Kiana was quite interested in the unique nano-Pathogens of this world. If possible, she wanted to catch one for Sister Mobius to study.
Mobius would surely be interested in something that could parasitize anything, right?
"How could such a thing..."
Rumble—
Maybe two come out in one day...?
Before Kazuka could finish her sentence, she heard a loud crash accompanied by the roar of a 'Mega-Sick' appearing nearby.
Damn... fortunately Kazuka was a cheerful and lively girl; otherwise, she would have had to use some choice words to greet the Giant Sick Monster.
No... it should be to greet the Pathogen who intentionally created the Giant Sick Monster.
Kiana's eyes lit up at the sound, and then she looked at the several Healing Fairies around her.
"Which one is Little Pretty Cure's partner?"
