Kiana, having witnessed Li Xuan single-handedly knock down a Honkai Beast, looked at him as if she were looking at a monster. Li Xuan's smile, which he thought was sunny, startled her.
"How were you able to knock it down?" Kiana asked, her mind a blank slate. But as soon as she asked, she couldn't help but blush. It was a stupid question; who would tell a stranger their secret?!
"Because of this…" Li Xuan said with a smile, pointing to the 'A Knight Never Dies with Empty Hands' badge on his left chest.
Okay, he answered me, but can such a small badge really allow an ordinary person to take on a Honkai Beast by themselves?! Kiana glanced at it, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Li Xuan clearly said, 'Do you take me for a fool?' Any normal person wouldn't believe it.
No one believes the truth these days. Li Xuan thought with a sense of helplessness. But he could understand. Hmm~ a normal person indeed wouldn't believe it, but he couldn't explain it either. After all, it involved his biggest secret. Besides, even if he told people he had transmigrated from another world, the girl in front of him probably wouldn't just give him the 'Do you take me for a fool?' look, but rather a 'Is there something wrong with this person's head?' look, which was even worse. So he simply decided not to say anything.
And so, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere didn't last long before the firefighters arrived.
"Hah~ hah~ Kiana… why are you running so fast!" A black-haired girl with her hair tied in a ponytail with a butterfly ribbon stopped behind Kiana, bending over and gasping for breath, looking completely exhausted. Due to the angle, she didn't notice Li Xuan.
"Kiana! If you do this again… I'm going to cancel your chance to take a bath with me for a week." The black-haired girl said in a warning tone, raising her head to look at the silver-haired girl, Kiana. Then she saw Li Xuan standing behind Kiana. In an instant, the black-haired girl's face turned as red as a tomato because of what she had just said.
Li Xuan looked at the girl before him with curiosity. He also wondered, why use taking a bath as a threat? When he got a clear look at the black-haired girl's appearance, this question was thrown to the back of his mind. The girl in front of him had delicate features and a tall figure, with a gentle and courteous demeanor of a well-bred lady. This made Li Xuan's eyes light up.
Unfortunately, while Li Xuan was in a daze, Kiana, who was beside him, noticed his suddenly burning gaze. For some reason, she felt a trace of annoyance rise in her heart, just like the unhappiness she felt when Mei-senpai cared about Bronya.
Kiana ran past Li Xuan, grabbed the black-haired girl's hand, and pretended to whisper, "Mei-senpai, let's ignore this lecherous pervert!" Li Xuan, who was standing nearby, stared at Kiana helplessly. I'm a pervert just for taking a second look?! Heh, then there are no men in this world, only wolves.
Sensing Li Xuan's resentful gaze, Kiana felt as refreshed as if she had eaten a popsicle on a hot summer day. She provocatively puffed out her chest.
"Kiana! I'm sorry, she just likes to talk nonsense. Please excuse her," the girl named Mei said, bowing to Li Xuan in apology. "It's fine, it's fine…" Li Xuan immediately replied. After all, she had already apologized.
"Hello, my name is Raiden Mei, and she is Kiana Kaslana…" Raiden Mei said, pointing to the silver-haired girl and politely introducing her to Li Xuan. Before Raiden Mei could finish, she felt someone tug on her skirt. Mei looked down and saw Bronya beside her. With a smile, she added, "And this is Bronya." The loli standing next to Raiden Mei, holding a yellow doll, nodded to him expressionlessly.
"Hello everyone, I am Li Xuan…" Li Xuan replied politely as well.
Then the atmosphere became awkward again.
"What are you all doing here?" Li Xuan asked, breaking the awkward silence and scratching his hair.
Raiden Mei's eyes lit up. "We just saw a golden light! So we came over curiously to see what it was… did you see it?!"
Li Xuan felt a bit guilty.
So you were looking for me?! He decisively chose to lie, saying with a straight face, "No, I just got here, and I didn't see anything."
At this moment, Bronya said to Raiden Mei, "The Bronya is hungry…" Kiana, who was beside them, looked disdainful. "Useless little pipsqueak, hungry after just a little while. As expected of a child… hmph hmph." But according to the great law of the universe, boasting never lasts more than three seconds. Kiana's stomach let out a "
gurgle~" sound, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on her stomach.
"I'm not hungry, it's, it's just an upset stomach!…" Kiana explained helplessly, her face bright red, clutching her stomach.
"Ahem… why don't you come to my place for a meal?!" Li Xuan suggested.
…
And then, he regretted it.
"Ah~ Mei-senpai, try this canned peach." Kiana said, holding up a piece of fruit for Raiden Mei. "The Bronya wants a rice ball…" Bronya said to Raiden Mei.
Why do I feel like I'm not eating a meal? Li Xuan bit into the rice ball Raiden Mei had made, feeling that it was tasteless.
Then what is this? Li Xuan looked down at the rice ball. Laughter came from across the table. He looked up and saw Kiana practically sitting on Raiden Mei's lap. Bronya was hugging Raiden Mei tightly, competing with Kiana.
What is it?… Li Xuan thought, taking a vicious bite.
It's… dog food!
Yuri is great, but it's a pity they can't have kids! Hmph hmph… this is the curse of a single dog.
