Should I add Kiana to the harem? Her relationship will progress at the same time as Scathach if it gets accepted.

Yes

or

No.

A group of people played games while streaming, their bodies in VR capsules.

They were Alex, Jeanne, Eresh, and Kiana, the equipment being the work of Stark industries.

Thanks to the company, the world had progressed in technology much faster than normal, the place looking like the 2018s when it was the 2010s.

They were streaming for Eresh's channel, and everyone except her were guests.

"Wait for me!" Eresh and Jeanne shouted as Alex and Kiana left them behind.

They were playing a battle royale game inspired by a bunch of animes. Of course, Alex had made sure they produced all the animes at top quality.

He didn't want shitty or half-made adaptations.

"Okay." Nodding, the boy double jumped to a nearby house.

He had selected the Archer class, so his job was to protect the team from above.

As the game was in ultra-realistic VR, he had restricted his power to suit it.

"I see someone behind you," Alex spoke as Kiana jumped next to him. She had selected the Attack Mage class, so her job was to attack from, well, far.

"I see them," Eresh answered as the chat started to go wild. They were talking about how this conflict would go.

"They are almost there," Alex reported before summoning his bow. He placed an arrow and pulled the string, ready to fire at any second.

"Attacking now," Eresh replied as a silver spear appeared in her hand.

She had chosen the Lancer-class, so she had to fight in close range, unlike Alex and Kiana.

Jeanne walked next to her, a sword in one hand and a staff in the other.

She had chosen the Combat Healer class, so she had the role of support.

"Let's go, Jeanne." Eresh kicked the ground and dashed towards the man in heavy armor.

Whoosh!

The man abruptly swung his greatsword down, yet the agility of the Lancer-class was no joke.

The blonde woman sidestepped to avoid the attack before she turned back and swung her spear to block a fireball.

She double jumped to avoid a horizontal slash from behind before Jeanne came behind her with the aura of a saint. Literally.

Jeanne stabbed her staff to the ground before activating the skill [Aura of a Saint].

Golden particles formed around the duo, boosting their defense and health significantly.

"Fuck, she is the Saint!" The man in armor backed away, yet Eresh didn't let him.

Jeanne had accumulated quite a lot of fame because of her gentle attitude, so she was the most popular member of their team.

BANG!

The ground cracked like a mirror as Eresh jumped on top of the man's enormous sword.

She threw her spear to the air before backflipping and kicking the spear towards the man's throat.

Whoosh!

The blonde laded gracefully right next to Jeanne while the man in heavy armor turned to blue particles.

"That was a good one." She heard the voice of Alex.

"I agree." Kiana agreed with him before appearing next to the blonde duo. Her attribute was space, so teleportation spells were easy for her.

"I'll continue to support you guys from above," Alex said while dashing closer to them.

"Got it." Eresh nodded before remembering something. "What about the mage?"

"Dead," Alex answered while hanging from the branch of a tall tree near them.

"Thanks." Answering with a smile, Eresh looked at the duo in front of her. "Come, let us go."

...

As the round passed, Eresh's team stood at the top of the leaderboards with the highest kills.

Now, however, only two more teams were left, and both were clearly teaming on them.

So, the team formed a rather basic plan. However, this basic plan caused the chat to go wild.

"Okay, so, you will use your ultimate on one team," Eresh said while pointing at Alex that was sitting on top of a tree branch. "While Kiana will use her ultimate on the other team."

Alex looked unbothered, replying with a quick "sure" before closing his eyes.

"How about you two?" Kiana looked more intrigued, though, so she asked a question.

"We will stand behind to not die from friendly damage." Eresh smiled wryly. "Besides, Jeanne and I are more focused on individual attacks while you two are basically nukes."

"Oh." Kiana nodded before leaning next to the tree. "When will we attack?"

While the team discussed their course of attack, the chat went crazy.

.

.

.

As such messages were typed in the chat, the team finally came to an agreement.

"Let's go." Eresh sighed as the boy above didn't move. "If you don't move, I'll only call you pretty boy for this month."

Alex slightly opened his eyes before silently getting up. He didn't care if she called him that, of course. Shame was a human weakness he had lost long ago.

"I can see them from here." As he was several meters above, Alex spotted the teams walking to the center, probably to group up.

They wouldn't let them.

"Kiana." He called out just before a woman with orange and blue eyes appeared next to him. "Let's go." Slightly crouching, the boy launched from the branch.

...

While tearing through the skies with Kiana, Alex opened up the HUD and readied his ultimate.

"We'll separate now." Kiana sighed as she read the name of her ultimate. '[Void Drifter]? How stupid.' She already knew about it, but the name always caused her to sigh.

"Mhm." Nodding, the boy let go of her hand. "Kick their asses!"

"I understand." The white-haired woman nodded before using her space magic to change her direction.

Her long hair fluttered as she dived down, lances made out of Subspace in both of her hands.

Finally, just when she caught sight of her targets, she unleashed her ultimate.

[Void Drifter]

Space behind her cracked open before a swarm of lances came out of it. However, they weren't ordinary lances.

The lances snaked around her as the Subspace lances in her hands glowed orange.

.

.

.

BOOOOM!

The land beneath her cracked as she made contact with the ground, her infinite lances snaking up around her into a protective barrier.

Then, she used one of them as a stepping block to jump up above, kicking the air towards an enemy.

Whoosh!

A lance extended towards her before several others followed suit, all of them piercing a different limb of the woman.

She tilted her head to avoid a magic arrow before the lances pierced the magician that fired it.

Then, she looked at the remaining trio with an expressionless face.

"Let's play." She smiled at the trio beautifully, yet it looked nothing other than the descent of Satan to them.

...

While Kiana had destroyed most of the enemy team, Alex arrived at his target.

Then, he focused on his ultimate before activating it.

[Descent of the Stars]

A white horse appeared just under him before he landed on it and summoned his bow.

Smiling slightly, the boy on the horse disappeared. Or did he?

The team of five people down below grouped up in a circle, yet it was all for naught.

Whoosh!

An arrow came their way, but it was quickly blocked.

Whoosh!

Then, another one came.

Whoosh!

And another.

Whoosh!

And another.

Whoosh!

And another.

.

.

.

After ten seconds of bombardment from all sides by an enemy too fast to see, the remaining duo finally caught sight of the man up above, riding down towards them.

"Shit." Both of them said at once, looking at each other one last time before the horseman suddenly rode up, letting them see the swarm of arrows behind him.

"AAAAAAA–!"

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG–

–BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

I think I did Kiana's character well. Normally, she is a kuudere. However, when she uses her powers a lot, HotV's personality affects her. Not much, though.
