With their previous experience fighting side by side, Kiana now felt that her relationship with Mei was no longer as stiff as before.
Eating was also quite pleasant.
In such a desolate world, having someone to eat with truly made one feel at ease.
"Next, we're going to your dad's company, Mei. In a way, it's like meeting the parents?"
After properly disposing of the trash, Kiana stretched her body, feeling the food turn into satisfaction.
Next, they were going to rescue Soldier Bronya.
"My father... isn't in Chang Kong City. The prison isn't here, so in a way, it's a blessing in disguise."
Mei was still a bit sad, but perhaps influenced by Kiana's positive emotions, she became much more optimistic.
"But we'll see him eventually! Let's go to ME Corporation now! I know the way!"
Without Kiana needing to comfort her, she walked out of it herself.
"Mm! Oh right, why can't I use electricity all of a sudden? Do you know, Mei?"
Walking on the road, Kiana naturally had to find a way to strengthen herself.
Even if she didn't use electricity to shock people, shocking herself to strengthen herself would be good.
Although she didn't understand flashy techniques, if her physical strength increased, she could just overpower everything.
"Ah... it should be that you can only use it when I use it? I remember feeling electricity from your side at that time too..."
Mei said uncertainly.
She only remembered that she had wanted to help fight that girl at the time, and then the sealed power came out.
She had no idea about Kiana's side.
"Hmm, it seems so. As long as we figure this out, the subsequent rescue and strategy will be very easy! Let's try it! Together... run to that intersection!"
After Kiana finished speaking, she and Mei started running together, and soon felt that familiar electric stimulation and numbness.
"Next... huh? It's not working again?"
When they reached the finish line, Mei was naturally still using it, but it was gone for her.
"Ah, it seems figuring this out will be a long and arduous journey..."
Kiana had a bit of a headache. At this moment, she really wished she had a system to simply and clearly show her all the functions of her golden finger.
Hmm, maybe it would even directly give affection, no need for strategy~
Hahaha, she could only imagine it, and she also refused that kind of affection given by the system... it was too fake.
"But at least we've figured out one condition! It's usable!"
"...It's completely unusable, just leave the fighting to Himeko! You two stay in a safe place!"
Theresa expressed her opposition.
"It's fine, trust me."
While Mei was ahead, Kiana responded confidently in a low voice.
ME Corporation was not far from there. On the way, they only encountered some weak zombies, which Himeko and her team had likely cleared out without incident.
After trying several times later, Kiana became even more certain of her guess.
"Oh? There are even survivors? You're not allowed to approach here. Stay here, and I'll pick you up after I've searched the area!"
Upon arriving at ME Corporation, they saw Himeko walk over, saying boisterously.
"She is..."
Mei couldn't help but grasp Kiana's hand. She was a little nervous, possibly due to Bronya's previous attack.
"I don't know, but she shouldn't be a bad person. Why can't we get closer?!"
Alright, seeing Himeko pretend not to know them, Kiana felt she had to start acting.
At the same time, she signaled with her eyes, indicating that it was enough.
"Tsk..."
Just as Himeko seemed not to intend to speak, she pretended to be contacted.
"Alright, I know. You are... Anti-Entropy's young miss, right?"
"Eh?"
Although she had guessed, Mei was indeed surprised to be called out like that.
"But it shouldn't be an enemy. After all, your father was framed by Anti-Entropy, and that person is very likely here."
Himeko had pretty much finished Mei's speculation.
"As for this one, she's even more familiar. Your father is very close with our Headmaster."
"…Did she also hold me when I was little?"
Kiana felt like it was a familiar way to get closer.
"I did hold her!"
Theresa interjected on her own initiative.
"Hahaha! How could… uh, it seems like she really did… Anyway, we're all on the same side!"
Himeko didn't expect Theresa to have actually held Kiana. She found it hard to imagine her loli-like superior holding a child.
Especially a loli with monstrous strength.
"So this place is very dangerous. You two go to a safe place, and I'll come pick you up later and take you back to normal society."
After speaking, Himeko waved her hand and went in by herself.
"Hmm, then should we… go in too?"
Himeko's self-serving decision to take on the responsibility by herself made Kiana feel very apologetic. After all, it was her idea, and they had originally planned to retreat.
…It was probably also Theresa's intention. Theresa had been asking Himeko to come here to help before.
After saying she had held her, there was no more news, so she must have been in constant contact with Himeko.
She clearly had an earphone for safety, yet she was so worried about her.
When they were dealing with Mei before, they weren't like this… To put it another way, Mei's threat level wasn't as high as Bronya's?!
However, Himeko alone would have a hard time fighting Bronya. Heavy Armor Bunny can attack and defend, so it's better with two people cooperating, and even better with three.
"Forget it, she's very decisive. Maybe she really knows what to do."
Theresa gave up on Himeko's channel. Kiana's decisive demeanor reminded her of Cecilia.
She truly was… her daughter.
Perhaps it was seeing Kiana, Cecilia's daughter, recently.
This caused Theresa to often think of Cecilia, and she couldn't help but be overly cautious and worry about Kiana.
After all, unlike Mei, who was only superficially threatening before, this girl was truly very dangerous.
"Alright, alright, I told you long ago, they're actually very powerful! Don't be too nervous"
Himeko, however, felt that Kiana could stand on her own.
Walking into the company, she saw a photo of Mei's father, Raiden Ryoma.
"Consider it meeting the parents, but now there's an emergency, so goodbye for now!"
After just a glance, Kiana hurried away. There was no time to pay respects to her father-in-law now.
"It shouldn't be upstairs, people are often there. It should be downstairs, but how do I not know the elevator going down…"
As Mei spoke, she saw Himeko deliberately leaving her figure visible nearby.
"You should be able to go down that way, but you have to wait for that person to go down first!"
"Mhm!"
As they went down, they saw Himeko engaged in a tough battle, because unlike them, she had to withstand missiles head-on.
