"It's here, it's here, it's finally here!"
"Eden, my Eden... Waaahhh..."
Some tilted their heads back, shouting toward the sky.
Others were overcome with sorrow, suddenly remembering that today's feature was Eden.
"Why does the sky-screen always follow the local time wherever the young lady goes?"
"Rock-solid evening. But it's the young lady's evening!"
"This sky-screen—I think it belongs to the young lady. As expected of her!"
"How awesome is our young lady, huh?"
"Young lady, please return to Sapphire City already!"
"Damn it! I don't want to keep waking up at dawn!"
--+--
As expected.
Whether they could be heard or not.
This was still a form of interaction between the audience in the real world and the sky-screen.
Right?
Kiana could hear these voices.
But she wasn't listening.
Nope, nope, not listening—just turtle chanting sutras.
[Ciallo~!]
[Good morning, dear viewers! Good afternoon! And good—eve·ning!]
[Did you miss me?]
On the sky-screen, the familiar interview livestream appeared.
As usual, on the right side of the long sofa sat Yuzu's chibi avatar.
But on the left side this time, it wasn't the familiar Elysia or Jyahnar. Instead, there were two other people, also appearing as cartoon-style chibi characters.
It felt refreshing.
Even though chibi versions might not make it obvious who was who, sometimes you could still make a guess based on intuition, or details like hair color and clothing.
That was more or less Kiana's approach.
Every episode invited two guests to join in—part educational, part interview.
Whether it was official history or folklore, when certain topics came up, forged documents still had to be forged, and antiques still had to be artificially aged.
But!
That didn't mean any of it was real.
Even artifacts passed down from ancient times had their mix of truth and falsehoods.
That's when having relevant individuals—or those somewhat in the know—step in to roast or explain things made for better entertainment, right?
[As teased last time, today we're diving into the Aeon of Wealth, Lady Eden.]
[For that, I've invited two heavyweight guests—no less impressive than last time's Lady Elysia and Lady Jyahnar.]
[They—are—:]
[The omniscient and omnipotent Miss Vita, revered in many places as the Peacock Mother Buddha!]
One of the chibis, with grey hair and large red eyes, waved timely at the camera, smiling warmly.
She seemed very friendly.
[Hallo~ Hallo~]
[I'm Vita~]
--+--
"Mom, I think I'm in love!"
"Is she a bad girl or what? She's so smooth!"
Even though they were just animated chibis, many felt their hearts flutter at that sweet tone and playful words.
Heh~
People could be so shallow.
Some sneered.
Me too!—others shouted just as loudly.
As if doing so would make sure she heard them.
Just like the audience at a concert.
"Su, I still think this girl resembles you..." Kevin scratched his head, giving Su a puzzled look.
"..." Get lost.
[And next!]
[The tuner of floating worlds, known throughout the universe for her brushstroke inscriptions—Griseo!]
On screen,
Miss Yuzu introduced the other guest.
The well-behaved girl with light blue hair waved softly at the camera.
[Hello everyone, I'm Griseo.]
[I look forward to your kind support~]
Nice.
A perfectly standard self-introduction.
She definitely gave off good-girl vibes.
But this chibi version had Ato thinking, 'Damn, she looks just like my wife.' And it turned out to be Griseo?
"Is that Griseo all grown up?" Nuwa excitedly looked at the little Griseo in Blanca's arms.
Blanca was just as surprised.
The one in her arms was only two or three years old, but the one on the sky-screen seemed like a cultured, gentle, and obedient young lady who'd definitely inherited Blanca's beauty.
But!
Her appearance was just so sudden.
It made it all the more shocking!
Mobius sat up straight, focusing intently on the sky-screen.
Every frame of these sky-screen exposures seemed to hold secrets.
Worth looking into.
One—Vita, claiming omniscience and omnipotence, revered as the Peacock Mother Buddha.
The other—Griseo, called a tuner, painter of floating worlds.
What special meaning did that carry?
You could see the girls on screen had already started chatting casually.
They eased into the topic through conversation.
This V-tuber still referred to herself as a content creator.
Maybe that meant even though she now had an official position and was state-supported, her videos were still primarily released online—not formally broadcast on television.
So, the content tended to be more relaxed.
No wonder she always called herself a history-area content creator, but her self-introduction prefixes kept changing—and she was the one changing them.
From science communicator, to variety commentator, and then as if giving up, now she was now an interview and entertainment creator.
She laughed even as she said it.
But while chatting with the Vita and Griseo chibis, she also admitted:
Those truly interested in history would seek it out themselves.
Her goal was just to spark curiosity and slip in a bit of knowledge along the way.
"Sigh~"
"Isn't that... still pretty good though?"
This left many in the real world feeling a bit disappointed.
Some even wished this content creator on the sky-screen would just dryly read straight from their history books, word for word, without omitting a thing.
They'd be fine with that!
But even if you said it, would she listen? Could she even hear you?
The sky-screen was the sky-screen—there was nothing you could do.
Since you couldn't change it, all you could do was listen quietly.
Having something was better than nothing.
[Miss Vita, Miss Griseo,]
[From what I know, you both currently reside in Phosphorus, and even have seven children there... Is that right?]
"Huh?" Ato's eyes widened instantly.
"???"
"Holy crap, seven kids!"
Gasps rose and fell around the world.
"So two girls really can have children together..."
Some marveled in awe.
[That's right~]
The Vita chibi rested her cheek on her hand, putting on a blissfully sweet expression as she gazed at Griseo beside her, her eyes practically sparkling.
[Righteous and the others are all very well-behaved children...]
[Even though they're still young, they help me and Griseo manage Phosphorus.]
[They're truly good kids. Just as lovely as Griseo.]
