"So beautiful!... Ah! Mei! Come look, come look!"
Since she saw a beautiful view, Kiana naturally wanted to share it with her good friend Mei... Well, at least she unilaterally considered her a good friend.
"Boring."
Mei naturally didn't come over. If she walked over just because this human called her, wouldn't it make her seem like she needed this human?
Since there was no danger, she was too lazy to bother with Kiana.
"Are you really not going to look? I think these blooming cherry blossoms seem to be welcoming their Queen~!
After all, this is a completely unrealistic flowering period; they would absolutely not bloom without external factors.
"I think your temperament, Mei, fits perfectly!"
But it's not a big problem; if there's danger, Theresa and the others will handle it, and what Kiana needs to do is invite Mei on a date, acting as a tool for conquest.
After all, she's not very good at fighting~
"...You're really boring."
Although she said that, Mei still slowly moved her delicate body and came here, glancing indifferently.
Hmm, she wasn't curious at all; she just found it too annoying.
In a dead silent environment, suddenly seeing a large expanse of vibrant cherry blossoms was like throwing a stone into a stagnant pool; even she felt her eyes light up.
...Unexpectedly, it's not bad, no wonder that guy wanted her to see it.
Hmph, it seems this world isn't so bad after all. I'll keep it for now.
"So let's go see it together tomorrow!"
It was a bit late today. Going at night... it would be pitch black without lights. The Honkai outbreak had caused this place to almost revert to a primitive state.
"Why didn't I notice such a large area of cherry blossoms before?... Ah, there's a building wreckage over there. It turns out it was blocking the view all along! How annoying!"
Looking down from the cherry blossoms, they saw the destroyed building.
"..."
Mei felt a bit awkward for some reason, but her expression didn't show any awkwardness.
"Hmm, by the way, why are there so many destroyed buildings? Even if Honkai beasts crashed into them, they shouldn't have caught fire..."
Honestly, Kiana completely didn't understand.
[Regarding the destroyed buildings, you should have heard some rumbling before you came here, right?]
Theresa interjected at the right time to explain.
"Hmm..."
She didn't know!
She hadn't had time to get familiar with Chang Kong City before being dragged onto the Hyperion, but Kiana still knew that she should nod at this moment.
"That is..."
Before Theresa could explain, a visible missile suddenly flew towards them, directly hitting the building she was on.
Boom!
The nearby explosion instantly made Kiana feel the ground shake.
"..."
She knew it definitely wasn't some everyday youth story! Mei, save her!
Kiana cried out internally. Fortunately, before she completely lost her balance, Mei lifted her with one hand and jumped to the adjacent building.
"If possible... I hope it's a princess carry... No, no, it's nothing! This is perfectly fine!"
Kiana weakly raised her hand and said, then gave up under Mei's gaze.
"You stay here and don't move."
Mei uttered the longest sentence she had spoken since they met, then rushed out.
[Ah, it seems I don't need to explain. It's Anti-Entropy's unmanned mecha.]
Once the dust from the explosion cleared, Kiana saw the familiar mecha... So it really was like that. She suggested a quick search for miHoYo.
"They've been tentatively attacking Raiden Mei for some unknown reason. The building destruction here is due to their conflict."
Theresa was still investigating the cause; the tentative attacks were completely incomprehensible.
"But with your skill, there's no need to worry at all!"
That's why she didn't mention it at first, because for Theresa, the threat level of this mecha was less than one percent of a Herrscher's.
"But it's still a bit dangerous to use your body to test Mei's favorability. Next time, you should be careful to dodge yourself!"
Theresa was quite worried about Kiana's safety. Of course, there was also a slight worry that the emergency trigger mechanism of her headphones was used for this.
"No, Theresa, quite the opposite. Showing weakness in front of Mei can better reduce your threat. Kiana did very well."
Himeko might have been arguing with Theresa.
"After reducing the threat, you can gradually take the initiative in communication. This is called feigning weakness to the enemy~"
"Headmaster, you previously mentioned Date A Live. In war, you need to use your brain more~"
"...You say that as if you've made friends."
Theresa retorted.
"..."
Listening to the two argue, Kiana inexplicably felt a bit of CP chemistry.
But... was it possible that she genuinely didn't react in time, rather than feigning weakness?
However, Himeko's words meant... endure first, then attack?
Hmm, in some ways, it made quite a lot of sense. After all, there was no way she could directly confront Mei; she simply couldn't win.
Unless she suddenly awakened the power of the Second Herrscher, she couldn't win at all.
In short, putting aside the options, Theresa and the others were still very useful. Why did they become useless when it came to options?
During their conversation, Mei had already warmed up and destroyed the mecha. For a Herrscher, these mechas were completely trash.
Surely no Herrscher would be defeated by these mechas, right? No way, no way?
"Mei! Thank you for saving me... Wait, good friends don't need to say thank you, right? Mei, are we good friends?"
Kiana felt that since Mei saved her immediately, their relationship must be quite good.
"...No."
"Eh, eh! If we're not good, why did you save me?!"
By common sense, shouldn't Mei be silently glaring at her right now?! Then she could push her luck!
Why did she directly deny it?!
"..."
This time, Mei remained silent.
"Oh my~! Mei, you're being tsundere. Being tsundere isn't good! In various romance manga, tsunderes are the most likely to fail!"
Like losing even after trying their best, and various other puns.
"Ah, I almost forgot, this is an elite Academy. Mei, have you read romance manga?"
Chiyu Academy is an elite girls' Academy, so the chocolate is naturally bittersweet!
"..."
Mei continued to remain silent.
"Mei, haven't you read it? Should I tell you the plot?"
"..."
Mei directly reached out and grabbed Kiana's collar, somewhat like a delinquent girl, pulling her closer.
"Listen carefully, without my permission, you are not allowed to die."
This world isn't that boring or uninteresting, making one want to destroy it, provided... this person is here.
For her own sake, she didn't want this person to die.
Hmm, that's how it is.
After she gets tired of it, she'll go destroy the world.
