"So painful…"
Before Kiana could sleep for more than ten hours like a koala, she was awakened by pain.
Her whole body ached as if she had been running all day yesterday.
"Kiana! Are you okay?!"
Mei didn't know when she got up, but she had already brought back breakfast. There was no environment for cooking here.
Seeing Kiana's pained expression, she quickly put down the breakfast and ran over.
"Ah, it might be due to over-exercising…"
Especially after continuously using electricity on herself, Kiana felt that her body was probably cursing her for being an idiot.
But everything yesterday was an experience she couldn't miss; she had to go.
Speaking of which, why was Mei perfectly fine?
They should have been similar yesterday… Can a Herrscher do whatever she wants like this?!
"But it's fine! This pain will go away in a few days!"
After all, it was just physical overload, not a serious injury; more rest would fix it.
"…I should still go ask Himeko for some medicine to treat it."
Mei looked at Kiana, who winced with every movement, and ultimately couldn't bear it.
"Ah, speaking of Aunt Himeko, how is that girl?"
Most of her current pain was due to Bronya… and Cocoilia behind her.
"She's currently alone in the detention room, not saying a word. Now is the time for you to persuade her."
Just then, Theresa walked in, her short stature very eye-catching.
After all, she was the only one so short.
"Long time no see, Kiana."
"…Is she your sister?"
Mei only had time to see Himeko in the morning and didn't have a chance to see Theresa.
After all, Theresa was also very busy; she had a pile of things to report after the mission.
Seeing the white hair somewhat similar to Kiana's, and the familiar tone, she thought she must be her sister-in-law.
She needed to get closer to her, after all…
"What sister! I'm her Aunt! My name is Theresa! But Kiana, you might not know, now… go persuade that girl, or we'll leave her behind."
Before Mei could figure out how to curry favor with her sister-in-law, she heard Theresa say she was her Aunt.
"Aunt???"
Mei was full of questions. This tiny loli, was she Kiana's mother's sister?!
It was a bit absurd.
But considering so much high technology… it wasn't impossible; she was just ignorant.
Well, anyway, for her, the most important thing was still Kiana.
"Miss Theresa, is there anything that can help alleviate Kiana's physical condition?"
It was better not to let Kiana suffer so much right now.
"…Let her feel the pain to learn a lesson. What if something happened if she ran here alone?"
Although there was an element of acting for their first meeting, Theresa really wanted to lecture Kiana properly.
Who gave her the guts to run into a Honkai beast area alone! If something happened, how would she explain it to Cecilia!
"Ah… it should be her skill?"
Kiana said weakly, mainly because she also felt that Kiana running into the Honkai beast area alone was indeed a bit foolish, so she lacked confidence.
She had to admit, she felt that Theresa now truly resembled an elder, not an Idiot Theresa.
"Can skill make you defeat a Honkai beast several meters tall? Or can it make you shake off a Honkai beast several meters tall?"
Without any weapons or armor, she couldn't do a thing.
"Alright, drink this. Later, you go talk to that girl; after all, you brought her back."
But she still felt bad after all, throwing over a bottle of something unknown.
"Then remember, the three of you need to get a physical examination, as you're people who came back from a Honkai beast area."
"Okay! I got it! Thank you, Aunt~!"
After drinking the potion, although it still hurt a bit, there were no major problems anymore.
"Then Mei! I'll go first!"
After hastily eating the breakfast Mei brought back, Kiana was about to follow Theresa to the detention room.
"Hmm… Let's go together."
Although she and Kiana brought her back, Mei still felt a little uneasy.
"Oh, alright!"
Arriving at the detention room, they saw Bronya sitting there quietly, enjoying her breakfast alone.
Now, she wasn't so red or so dark. Aside from the armored prosthetics on her legs, she looked like an ordinary little girl.
"Kiana, her Heavy Armor Bunny cannot be shielded. If there's danger, remember to call me."
Theresa was very surprised by this. When did Anti-Entropy develop such technology? Perhaps they needed to be wary.
Although Bronya was currently harmless, she still had to warn them to avoid any accidents.
"Mm."
Nodding, Kiana entered the detention room after Bronya finished her breakfast.
Sitting opposite Bronya, Kiana inexplicably felt like she was interrogating a criminal.
"Um… what's your name?"
First, she had to ask for her name.
"Bronya Zaychik. You are… that Idiot who wants to save Bronya, aren't you?"
Bronya didn't seem uncooperative with the questioning, but…
Ah ah ah ah!
Kiana felt that she and Bronya were definitely incompatible! How could she curse her right away!
"Don't you think so?"
Although she showed no expression, Kiana clearly heard the surprise in Bronya's words.
The untamed Welt is so aggressive!
Kiana also experienced what it felt like to be sharp-tongued.
"Um… after all, you were being controlled. I don't think you originally intended to attack us…"
She felt that she could still salvage the situation.
"What if Bronya's original intention was to? So, as expected, you're an Idiot."
"I'm a good judge of character!"
She was the one with the plot in her hands! Although there were some discrepancies now, didn't she know what kind of person Bronya was?!
"Deciding based solely on intuition, truly an Idiot."
"…I have a name. I'm Kiana, Kiana Kaslana."
Kiana thought, maybe she called her that because she didn't know her name… right?
"Idiot Kiana."
"…"
Should she just abandon Welt then?
However, this thought only flashed through her mind before she discarded it, as she could also understand.
Bronya, abandoned by Cocoilia, was at her most vulnerable right now, perhaps even thinking of jumping off (not literally).
In short, to communicate normally, she had to calm her down first…
"You wait a moment, I'll be back soon!"
She'd better find a Homu first!
Although Kiana didn't like Homu, because she really didn't want to see Homu in supplies, she remembered that most people liked them.
Especially Bronya.
"Mei, what do you think is the most popular and beloved doll right now?"
Of course, she had to ask Mei first.
"Homu, I guess…"
Mei also liked Homu quite a bit.
