"What should we do now, Kiana?" Mei looked at Kiana; she didn't understand anything about Honkai, so letting Kiana decide the route was the most suitable option.
"Let's go to my place first. I left weapons at home. Ahhh! I should've just carried them with me!" Kiana thought about this and waved her small paws around like a cat. Mei secretly smiled at Kiana's cute side.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Mei's expression was gentle. She then held Kiana's hand, and the two pushed open the rooftop door, rushing downwards.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" With Mei by her side, Kiana felt power continuously surging within her body.
"Surge throughout my body, infinite power! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Kiana took down one Honkai Beast after another with her baseball bat, her mental state abnormally excited... In other words, she was in a 'burst' state.
Within her consciousness space, Verna clutched her hair. Why did Kiana's last words sound so familiar to her?
"Well~ never mind, it must be an illusion." She lay back down on the sofa. Her white short shirt rolled up slightly, revealing her fair skin.
Outside, Kiana pulled Mei, swinging the legendary-grade baseball bat in her hand all the way from the teaching building's rooftop to the school gate.
"Ki-Kiana! Which way next?" Mei didn't have a good weapon, so she could only use a wooden stick as a bamboo sword. Her physical fitness couldn't compare to those of the Kaslana Family, and she was already panting.
"This way!" Kiana pulled Mei, turning left after exiting the Chiba Academy gate. Her excellent eyesight allowed her to notice that there weren't too many Honkai Beasts on this path.
Meanwhile, on a tall building, a small loli with spiral drill-shaped twin ponytails watched Kiana and Mei's escape below, calmly reporting: "Cocolia Mom, the mission target has left Chiba Academy and was taken away by someone. Should we continue the plan?"
Cocolia, hiding in her base, watched the footage uploaded by Bronya. In the video, the Verna suppressed the Herrscher of Thunder with an overwhelming posture. She bit her fingernails, feeling a little unwilling, and after a moment of hesitation, gave the order:
"Keep an eye on them, Bronya. I'll send a Titan Mech to support you. If possible... bring the other white-haired little girl back too."
"Yes, Bronya received." Bronya looked at the two of them below. Everything was so Seele could return... Bronya suppressed the subtle emotions stirring within her, her expression cold.
...
"Quick! Mei, let's go upstairs!" Kiana pulled Mei, finally running back to her apartment. But as she climbed the stairs, Kiana regretted it immensely. Why did she rent a high-floor apartment in the first place? Now it was so troublesome!
Fortunately, there weren't many Honkai Beasts in the apartment building. Kiana and Mei successfully reached their room door, but Kiana suddenly stopped moving as she looked at the door.
"Kiana, what's wrong?" Mei stood behind Kiana, worriedly stepping forward as she saw Kiana suddenly spacing out. As a result... she saw Kiana with a tear-streaked face.
"I, I lost my key..." Kiana was on the verge of tears. She must not have paid attention when she was escaping, causing her room key to fall somewhere. Mei's face flashed with surprise and helplessness. She raised her hand to smooth Kiana's somewhat frazzled hair and asked, "Then... should we go somewhere else?"
"No! There's another way!" Kiana's eyes lit up. She placed her hand on the door and gently pushed it, confirming the door's quality before stepping back slightly.
"Mei, step back a bit." To avoid hurting Mei with her next action, Kiana pulled her to her side, then raised her leg and kicked the apartment room door.
"Kiana, Attack!" With one kick, the terrifying monstrous strength of the Kaslana erupted. The security door fell straight down, kicking up dust.
Mei was stunned. Is this the strength a human can possess? But thinking about Kiana's appetite... it seemed normal? After all, with great strength, eating so much made sense.
"Mei! Come in, quick, come in! We'll grab the weapons and go!" Kiana was already inside the room, waving her hand to urge Mei, who was still dazed at the doorway. Mei then snapped out of it and quickly followed Kiana into the room.
Meanwhile, on a tall building not far away, Bronya also witnessed Kiana's raw strength in kicking open the security door and fell into doubt. If not for Project Bunny, close-range unarmed combat...
Bronya fell silent. No matter how she calculated in her mind, in a close-range unarmed combat situation, she would be a seven-three split with Kiana, meaning Kiana would land three punches, and she would be over her head seven.
"Individual Kiana Kaslana's danger assessment index has increased."
Inside Kiana's room.
Kiana pulled open the cabinet and took out a shotgun and two pistols from inside, handing the shotgun to Mei.
"Mei, you take this. This is easy to use. One shot will guarantee those Honkai Beasts burst open."
Mei looked at the shotgun in her hand. If she remembered correctly... you couldn't buy this kind of thing in the Far East, could you? Where did Kiana's weapons come from?
Looking at the silly smiling Kiana, Mei suddenly felt calm. No matter how mysterious Kiana's identity was, she was still her good friend, and that wouldn't change.
The two packed their things, with no time for a shower or a meal. They could only hastily grab a few pieces of chocolate to fill their stomachs before embarking on a journey of escape.
"Damn it, if only we had a car, then we wouldn't have to run around on foot!" Kiana held Mei's hand, complaining from behind a corner. Mei looked at Kiana and asked the crucial question: "Kiana, can... can you drive?"
Kiana froze. Oh right, she had only driven an electric bike, it seemed. She had never actually driven a car.
"Ahem, that's not important. The group of Honkai Beasts over there is starting to move to other places. Mei, let's go!" Kiana awkwardly changed the subject. Mei didn't expose her, only tightened her grip on Kiana's hands.
And in the consciousness space, the Verna, looking at this scene, suddenly thought of a line: The hand you should grasp is no longer mine.
"Wow... do I have some kind of psychological disorder? Why am I giving myself a hard time?" The Verna frowned. This was definitely MHY's doing!
"But two of the three main characters are already here. Why hasn't the last one, Bronya, appeared yet...?" The Verna stroked her chin, her fair legs crossed, the hem of her wide white short shirt draped over her thighs.
After running for a long time, Kiana and Mei stopped to rest. This area had no Honkai Beasts, allowing Mei to catch her breath.
It was at this moment that a giant robot, carrying an expressionless loli, descended from the sky.
