Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Why is her motivation always because of food?

"…"

As expected, Mei didn't reply to her but instead said,

"You talk too much."

Perhaps Mei didn't know how to respond.

"Uh… maybe it's because it's night? After all, do you know the origin of the name Kiana? This name means Moon Goddess!"

Kiana still remembered it very clearly.

[Hmph hmph~! I named her!]

Theresa said proudly.

"So I'm very energetic at night!"

[That's not what I meant!]

Theresa hadn't expected Kiana to explain it this way; she was clearly a night owl!

Ignoring Theresa, Kiana turned to look at Mei beside her.

Although Mei had said she talked too much, she was still lying down, looking at the stars in the sky, wondering what she was thinking.

A girl looking up at the sky on the rooftop… Unfortunately, Mei hadn't held down her hair, and it was blowing everywhere in the night breeze, almost reaching Kiana, which somewhat ruined the romantic feeling.

Kiana wanted to reach out and help press it down.

"…"

Just as she was about to act, Mei suddenly looked over, startling her.

"Your hair… Ahaha, I helped you press it down, continue watching the stars!"

Under Mei's gaze, Kiana quickly helped press down her hair; without other hardware conditions, she could only do this for now.

"Where were we? Moonlight, ah, if seeing the stars makes you think of me, then seeing the moon will make you think of my name~!"

Then she looked up at the sky again, enjoying the rare tranquility of the night.

"That way, even if we part after leaving Chang Kong City, you'll still think of me!"

Although parting was impossible, Kiana knew she had to stimulate Mei here.

"…"

Mei finally spoke, but her words might have been a bit hurtful.

Wuwuwu, she's so difficult.

However, judging from Mei emphasizing earlier that she wouldn't let her die…

Well, she's just saying one thing and meaning another~! Mei will definitely miss her!

Uh, speaking of which, is this her last option, playing hard to get?!

"Alright, then good night~! Tomorrow we still have to prepare to leave Chang Kong City; staying in a monster-dense area for too long isn't good for your mental state!"

Kiana, completely out of topics, chose to go to sleep.

If they were to talk about family, Mei's family was broken, and she was currently alone. Kiana didn't even dare to mention that her name was given by her family.

As for other things, it was even more impossible to discuss them in this Honkai-affected area.

Ah, it was truly too difficult for her, someone who had never been in love, to try and win someone over.

It always felt like a high-difficulty conquest right from the start…

"…"

Leaving Chang Kong City…and then parting ways?

"By the way, do Herrschers not need to sleep? Why is she still looking at Kiana?"

Theresa had already disconnected the communication to avoid disturbing Kiana's sleep.

"Who knows, maybe she's…thinking about when would be a good time to devour Kiana!"

With the current situation temporarily concluded, Himeko was in the mood to joke.

"Anyway, as far as it goes, she has completely lost her hostility towards Kiana. When Kiana reached out earlier, she didn't attack."

Theresa hadn't expected Kiana to succeed so much in just one afternoon; she truly had a lot of talent.

"Compared to that, we have other work to do. We need to clarify the Anti-Entropy issue."

They only found out after arriving, but most of their energy was focused on Kiana. Now they finally had time to deal with Anti-Entropy.

"Ai-chan, can you track the signal point of the Anti-Entropy mecha?"

These unmanned mechas usually couldn't go far. There must be a signal point in Chang Kong City, so their goal was to find it.

They couldn't let it keep interfering with Kiana's pursuit of Mei.

"No, boss. The mecha appeared for too short a time, and with Anti-Entropy's firewall, I couldn't hack in before it disappeared. I can't find it."

Mei acted too quickly, and Ai-chan had no choice. She had already returned to normal working status.

"Hmm…we can only do a carpet search. Everyone, work hard tonight! Start searching from near the Academy!"

After the mecha was destroyed, it completely self-destructed, so they couldn't recover it for analysis.

Theresa could only resort to a carpet search, starting by ensuring the safety around the Academy.

"Okay! But it just so happens to be my shift change tonight! I'm going to rest! Tomorrow I still have to watch these two fall in love…"

Himeko yawned, waved her hand, and left.

"Ah, I suddenly feel like falling in love~"

"…You should go rest quickly. Also, don't drink alcohol!"

"Yes, yes, yes~"

Tonight was a busy night for the people on the Hyperion, but for Kiana, it was a very peaceful night.

After all, with an invincible and unyielding Herrscher lying beside her, Kiana slept very soundly.

She even dreamed that she could also control lightning and perform a Railgun…As for why it was a dream, it was because she had already woken up.

Waking up, the memories of the dream quickly faded, and she gradually accepted the reality that she was still a nobody.

She glanced at Mei, and unlike her usual majestic appearance, Mei while sleeping…looked especially cute!

Losing her sharp eyes and heroic demeanor, the current Mei looked like a soft and adorable girl, sleeping peacefully, clutching the blanket tightly.

Her black long hair was a bit messy, but it added to a sense of domesticity. She should help Mei comb her hair later.

Waking up to this beautiful scene simply made one's mood much better.

Since Mei wasn't awake yet, during this time, she would go to the dormitory to see if anyone had secretly hidden snacks to use for breakfast! And grab a comb!

Seeing this scene after waking up, she was now full of energy!

"I'm going to find something to eat. Theresa, are you there? Can you help keep an eye on Mei."

[We are here, go ahead. I'm already arranging people to deal with the dangers around. I'll tell you when Mei wakes up.]

After all, they were on the rooftop, so even with Honkai interference, it was easy to monitor.

"Okay~"

Having received Theresa's reply, Kiana excitedly went off to forage.

Uh, speaking of which, why is all her initiative driven by food?

"…"

Mei had just woken up, her mind still a bit hazy, squinting her eyes, not knowing if she was savoring a dream or just spacing out.

"!"

Suddenly, she realized she was on the rooftop.

Mei quickly threw off the blanket she had been clutching tightly because it was a bit cold last night, revealing…her still clothed body, and quickly got up.

She had been too relaxed, actually falling asleep like that.

But…last night was truly reassuring…never mind. Speaking of which, has that guy gotten up?

With that turn, she found that Kiana was not beside her.

Involuntarily, she felt a little flustered.! But it just so happens to be my shift change tonight! I'm going to rest! Tomorrow I still have to watch these two fall in love…"

Himeko yawned, waved her hand, and left.
