In unison, MEI and Raiden Mei spoke at the same time.
"How long are you going to keep looking?" x2
Hearing this, Kiana finally realized with hindsight that Raiden Mei was sitting next to Leo.
"Eh! Two Meis?"
Astonished, she couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.
Then, she finally noticed Leo.
Immediately—
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
Only at this moment did she recover last night's memories, realizing she wasn't in the St. Freya Academy dormitory, but in a strange man's home.
And here she was, going commando, wearing only a somewhat see-through white shirt in front of this man.
—What the hell am I doing!?
Almost scrambling and crawling, she ran back to the master bedroom, where she finally saw the clothes Raiden Mei had prepared for her on the bedside table.
Meanwhile—
"This is your harvest?"
Looking at Leo with a gaze of disgust as if seeing filth, MEI looked displeased.
"To actually pick up a young girl from a Honkai Domain, you really are something!"
Involuntarily, she spoke to Leo in a sarcastic tone.
After all, she had only barely accepted Raiden Mei last night, but now Leo had picked up another beautiful girl. This couldn't help but make her... feel a sense of crisis!
Especially since Kiana came out of Leo's room wearing only a white shirt, it was hard for her not to overthink.
—Did someone cut in line ahead of me again?
Wait!
Why did I say "again"?
Amidst her chaotic thoughts, her gaze towards Leo became increasingly unkind.
"Indeed, she is my biggest harvest from last night."
Although being stared at by MEI was very stressful, Leo tried his best to look normal.
After all, regarding Kiana, he really hadn't had time to make a move, so he could face MEI calmly.
However, seeing MEI reveal such an expression, he understood he wasn't far from completely winning her over.
And he clearly remembered that when MEI left his house last night, her [Favorability] towards him was 79, stuck at the stage where feelings change.
However now—
[Current Favorability: 80 (Lover)]
—How did you break through that last point by yourself?
He was very curious.
But since MEI was angry right now, he naturally couldn't... or to put it bluntly, he just didn't dare ask.
Therefore, he switched topics: "Anyway, I obtained a lot of key intelligence from her."
"But because we went through a bloody battle last night, there are still many things I haven't asked clearly."
"Let's ask together when she comes out later."
Finished speaking, he looked at MEI calmly.
"Mn..."
Seeing Leo didn't seem to be lying, plus MEI actually knew that with her current stance, she had no reason to say anything about Leo.
Not to mention, Raiden Mei, who really had an intimate relationship with Leo, didn't say anything, so what right did she have?
However... she seems to have matured a lot?
Looking at Raiden Mei's expression, she couldn't help but become thoughtful.
While waiting for Kiana to come out, Leo roughly recounted last night's experiences to her.
By the time Kiana came out wearing the clothes Raiden Mei prepared, MEI basically understood how she arrived.
Her waist-length snow-white hair was tied into a ponytail, and she wore a clean white shirt paired with blue jeans, a very common male outfit.
However, due to the lack of front armor, she appeared somewhat shy, lacking a bit of the dashing air of this outfit.
Otherwise, she would actually look quite handsome dressing like this.
After all, she had a natural heroic beauty and a slender figure, perfectly suiting this masculine style.
"Kiana, come eat breakfast first."
Raiden Mei voluntarily gave her portion to Kiana; after all, it was fine if she didn't eat.
And MEI couldn't have calculated that there would be an extra Kiana today, so naturally she didn't buy extra.
"Mn..."
Not standing on ceremony with Raiden Mei, Kiana picked up the plum rice ball MEI bought and started eating, then drank a mouthful of milk Raiden Mei handed over.
It had to be said, she was actually starving, as if she hadn't eaten for a very, very long time.
That was why she came out rubbing her belly and calling Raiden Mei's name.
Because in her habit, calling Raiden Mei meant she could get a delicious meal.
Of course, now, being taken care of by Raiden Mei, she was indeed having a delicious meal.
But this meal was provided by another "Mei".
"Let me introduce you—"
While Kiana was eating, Leo said to MEI: "She is Kiana Kaslana, coming from the same world as Mei."
"And this one—"
Then, he started introducing MEI to Kiana, only—
"Just call me MEI."
Without waiting for Leo's introduction, MEI spoke up voluntarily: "Miss Kaslana."
After speaking, she looked Kiana up and down with calm eyes.
Vaguely, she felt a familiar sensation from Kiana, as if seeing her future self.
However—
"Th-that... Cough, cough cough!"
Kiana, anxious to reply, choked on the rice ball and couldn't help coughing.
It wasn't until Raiden Mei handed her milk again that she managed to wash down the rice ball with the milk's help.
In short—
It must be my illusion.
Looking at Kiana's cute and stupid appearance, MEI quickly denied the feeling she just had.
"Then you can just call me Kiana too."
Kiana, who finally caught her breath, smiled and added what she wanted to say earlier.
Then, as if she finally remembered something, she hurriedly said: "Wait!"
"You wouldn't be the young Dr. MEI, right?"
To be honest, the memories in her brain were very chaotic. She only remembered a few very important companions, but for existences like MEI whom she hadn't actually met many times, her memory wasn't deep.
Plus, the current MEI hadn't developed fully yet, differing from Raiden Mei only in temperament, so she naturally didn't recognize her.
But with MEI's self-introduction, she finally recalled that Dr. MEI who had helped them.
And—
"That Mei..."
Turning her gaze to Raiden Mei, she couldn't help asking again: "We haven't come to the Previous Era, have we?"
—Where the hell have I been sent to?
Involuntarily, the same question as Leo's rose in her mind.
