Uh… Kiana thought Mei was going to force a kiss on her.
Mei walked away alone after saying that.
Kiana brushed her hair back, loosening her clothes that Mei had clutched tightly.
She felt like Mei's process was missing a step.
Shouldn't Mei have just directly forced a kiss and declared ownership at this point? What was the meaning of this?
She didn't understand at all, maybe… she hadn't read enough romance manga.
"Wait for me! Mei! Where are we sleeping tonight?!"
Although a bit confused, Kiana still had to catch up to Mei; Kiana didn't want to stay here alone waiting for missiles to drop.
Speaking of which, what exactly does Anti-Entropy want to do…
"…"
Good, Kiana felt she understood that silent gaze; it meant 'whatever!'
Then she would decide herself!
As for the destroyed Anti-Entropy mech, it had nothing to do with her; she didn't even spare it a glance.
She had fought it countless times in games; wasn't this just a slightly bigger version?
"When it comes to where we sleep, there's a lot to consider! First, we need to determine what the future weather will be like!"
Kiana looked up at the sky, and as if to cooperate with the Anti-Entropy mech's self-destruction to prevent secrets from being stolen, today's sunset appeared exceptionally red.
A sunset glow indicated very good weather.
"A beautiful dusk, tomorrow will be another clear day, so we can sleep outside tonight! I recommend the rooftop!"
Since Mei said 'whatever,' Kiana decided to sleep on the rooftop.
"Falling asleep to the gentle breeze at night is a pleasure! Most importantly, there are no mosquitoes! No mosquitoes here!"
She always thought mosquitoes should be extinct.
"We can also watch the stars at night! As the City lights fade, the stars that were once obscured by their glow will become brilliant! That is a beauty that will never fade, no matter when!"
Kiana placed her hands on her chest, closing her eyes, as if she could already see that scenery.
"Falling asleep under such beautiful scenery, Mei, you will definitely love it!"
If she didn't like it, Kiana would take Mei's surname!
Hmm? Wait, speaking of which, wasn't this the first sleeping option among the three previous choices?
Kiana felt as if she had unknowingly chosen the option provided by Theresa and the others.
But this wasn't after dinner anymore! No big deal!
"…"
Mei remained silent, but Kiana was starting to understand her a bit.
It meant… 'whatever!'
Ahaha, anyway, she was just guessing.
"Then, let's go find some sheets to lay on the ground; there are plenty in the student dorms!"
"…"
Mei didn't say much, perhaps because the previous chapter had exhausted too much of her verbal inventory, but she still led the way.
Don't ask how Kiana knew; it's because Mei had led the way like this before~
"Kiana…"
Theresa hadn't expected Kiana to be so knowledgeable about living outdoors; indeed… Ziegfried still needed a good beating!
There were no Anti-Entropy mechs encountered along the way, at most some small Honkai zombies, all of which Mei dealt with easily.
Kiana felt like she was clinging to a strong leg; if only there was an experience bar, how great would that be~
The dorm… this was a place Mei had never been to.
After all, she was the young lady of ME Corporation, so she naturally commuted.
Opening the door, the dorm room appeared empty, probably because the Honkai outbreak occurred during class.
Those people couldn't even make it to the dorm and were destroyed.
Kicking open the door, the room inside was spotless; even the piled-up items appeared neat and organized.
It seemed this was the dorm of a tidy student.
"…"
Mei saw a photo on one of the desks; she recognized one of the people in it, someone who had once echoed her but later distanced themselves.
The photo was a family portrait; she must have missed her family very much, as she had placed the photo here.
But now… they could never meet again.
Mei couldn't help but feel a little depressed (depressed/frustrated).
"Mei! There are lots of sheets here… Hey, do you know this person? Uh… my condolences."
Walking in with a pile of sheets, Kiana saw Mei holding a photo frame and could only say that.
After all, these people died because of the Honkai; if she agitated Mei at this moment, she felt she could forget about counting stars tonight.
"…"
Mei put down the photo frame, took out the photo, put it away, and then walked out. Just as she reached the door, she turned around and said,
"Also, you, don't die."
"Uh… why emphasize it again…"
Kiana watched Mei walk out gracefully, a bit of a headache as she held the sheets.
Can you stop being a riddle person?!
[Perhaps she was moved? After all, she saw the departure of someone familiar, so! Kiana, you did very well! She's starting to have human emotions! The Honkai energy concentration is continuously decreasing!]
Theresa was very pleased; they were not far from a complete capture, but… the further they went, the harder it would be, as they had almost completed everything.
It might also be simpler, like a single push.
It all depended on Kiana's performance.
The rooftop was naturally chosen from the dorms; it was very close, and most importantly, it was intact.
As for who would lay it out… of course, it was Kiana~
Fortunately, it wasn't difficult and was easily done. By the time she finished, she was already lying on it, not wanting to move; the ground felt a bit hard, but it was no big deal.
Night quickly fell, ending a busy day, and this was her first night here.
The faint moonlight fell upon her, and looking up at the sky without the light pollution of the City was truly a pleasure.
"Mei, if you can't sleep, you can whisper to me~!"
Although the truth was that she couldn't sleep.
"No."
Mei's answer was as expected, well… maybe a bit surprising, as Kiana had thought Mei would choose silence.
"Girls sleeping together always have to talk about something~!"
She had intentionally laid them out together! Just a little distance apart!
Hmm… wait, this seemed to be the second option: discussing girls' secrets!
Ahaha, but no matter how she thought about it, Mei wouldn't say anything.
As for abandoning Mei or anything like that, it was even more impossible; after all, she had to capture Mei! How could she leave her alone?
Although she was supposedly capturing… Kiana felt like she hadn't done anything at all.
"No."
Mei's attitude was clear, even though Kiana felt Mei had seemed like she wanted to confide in someone back in the dorm…
"Uh… alright, then let's count the stars together! This is a beauty that will never fade!"
"That way, when you count the stars in the future, you'll think of me~! Hmph hmph! That way, every night, Mei, you'll think of me~"
After all, there would definitely be stars at night!
