When They Are Heroes, In Honkai Impact Section 9

[Host, did you overdo it? For the Kaslana bloodline, this level of abrasion wouldn't be a problem even if left untreated.]

The system commented objectively.

However, Bai Ge shook his head.

While it was indeed a minor injury for a Kaslana that wouldn't be an issue if ignored, he just couldn't pretend not to see it. Healing quickly didn't mean it didn't hurt.

On the contrary, for someone like Kiana, whose body and senses were very strong and sensitive, the pain she felt when injured would be one or two points greater than that of an ordinary person.

Furthermore, a girl chasing Honkai Beasts every night was already showing signs of being a Sky Ranger.

[Based on your actions during this period, Host, you seem to have an unusually high level of concern for Kiana Kaslana.]

'System, what are you trying to say?'

[This system wants to say that you spoil her too much.]

'Oh, so what's the problem with that?'

Looking at the virtual light screen that only he could see, Bai Ge raised an eyebrow and retorted. She's the ultimate, invincible, super-duper cute Kiana! Is there a problem with me, as her captain, spoiling her to the heavens? No, there isn't~

Thinking about the various trials this girl would face in the future, Bai Ge felt that the more he spoiled her now, the better.

[Fine, you are the Host, and you are right.]

On the other side, Kiana had eventually accepted Bai Ge's kindness obediently. Looking at her lightly injured arm that had been treated, she felt a little happy in her heart.

For Kiana, who had traveled alone from Europe to the Far East starting at the age of 12, although there were people secretly supporting her journey, she still experienced more hardships and obstacles than the average person.

She had encountered both kind-hearted and ill-intentioned people. Kiana had accepted the kindness of others and also fallen into trouble due to the malice of bad people.

Therefore, although this girl looked silly and not very smart, this white-haired ball of fluff actually had a very keen and accurate judgment of people's good and evil.

What she felt from Bai Ge was pure concern and goodwill. Thus, even though they hadn't known each other for long, Kiana had already sincerely regarded Bai Ge as a good friend.

"Rumble—"

"……Cough!"

Just then, Bai Ge's stomach growled. He hadn't wasted his time during this period.

After school, he had been running around Changkong City, trying to find a way to infiltrate the ME Corp branch, while also intensifying his devilish physical training.

His stamina consumption was not small either.

"Bai Ge, are you hungry too? Then you can eat… uh, sorry, I ate it all."

Kiana looked at the empty lunchbox in her hand, which she had licked clean, not a single grain of rice left. She awkwardly scratched her head, feeling very embarrassed.

"It's okay, I have Mei!"

"Huh?"

"Hmph! I thought I was protecting Mei by being her fake boyfriend, but it turns out I'm the one benefiting, getting to eat delicious bento boxes made by Mei every day."

"It's… it's not that exaggerated."

Mei's cheeks flushed as she took out two lunchboxes.

The food inside made Kiana's eyes light up: sweet pepper curry with tempura, several pieces of delicious fried chicken, and miso soup with tomato and kelp.

The taste of the dishes was outstanding, and even their arrangement was exquisite, showing great care.

Kiana swallowed hard, looking at Bai Ge with immense envy. Her saliva was flowing down like a waterfall from three thousand feet.

"Wow! Mei's beloved wife bento! I want to eat it too!"

First update, requesting collection for the new book.

The requirements are not high; please cast some free flowers and evaluation tickets. Thank you.

Chapter Thirteen: Raiden Mei's Black Silk Knee Pillow (Requesting Collection for New Book)

"Ki- Kiana, what beloved wife bento? You can't just say things like that."

Mei, who was still a pure maiden, blushed at Kiana's words and felt like she was about to combust.

Meanwhile, Bai Ge had already taken the bento meticulously prepared by the "housewife" and began to devour it.

You must know that Mei's cooking skills are always T0 in Honkai Impact, always in the top two. Back then, even the World Serpent's leader, Kevin, personally recruited her to improve the catering for the World Serpent and the Elysian Realm.

These dishes, filled with the girl's feelings, were much tastier than takeout or what Bai Ge made himself.

"Bai Ge, Bai Ge, can you give me a piece of fried chicken? Just one piece, please, please!"

Kiana lay on Bai Ge's lap, her big, watery eyes looking pitiful as she begged to be fed, as if a tail was wagging behind her.

"……Kiana, where has the dignity of a warrior of the great Kaslana family gone?"

"Hmph! My old man used to say that the Kaslanas never surrender! Unless they are fed three meals a day!"

"Wow, your family is so weird. Just one piece."

In the end, he gave her a piece. Bai Ge then immediately sped up his eating. Even he was unwilling to share such delicious lunch with others.

So, when Kiana finished gnawing on the chicken drumstick and wanted another piece, Bai Ge indicated that the mere "grasshopper" shouldn't expect a second piece of fried chicken from him.

Kiana immediately pouted like a little cat.

"Pfft~"

Raiden Mei gazed tenderly at the scene.

Especially at Bai Ge's satisfied expression as he ate the bento she made herself, which made Mei feel incredibly content.

The cooking skills she had learned solely to live independently after her father's imprisonment had brought her no special feelings when she was the only one eating, no matter how well she cooked.

But ever since she started preparing lunch for Bai Ge, Mei realized she was starting to enjoy cooking more and more.

"Ah, I'm full and satisfied."

"I'm glad you like it, Bai Ge. By the way, is there anything else you'd like me to cook? I can make it for you next time."

"Really? I'd be so honored... Can I have some Divine Land cuisine? Like Mapo Tofu, Dongpo Pork, Boiled Sliced Beef, and so on."

"That sounds delicious! Mei, Mei, I want some too, I want some too!"

"Mm, I got it. Divine Land cuisine. I'll learn it tonight and make it for you both."

Looking at the two fluffy white-haired children before her, who were eagerly awaiting their meal, Raiden Mei felt her heart pound. A sense of mission surged within her.

She immediately resolved to level up her cooking skills to the maximum.

(Mei: "I shall enter the kitchen and trade my meal for your full bellies!")

There was still a long time before lunch break ended.

"Haaah~" x2

Having eaten their fill, Bai Ge and Kiana yawned in unison. It was clear that neither of them had slept well after running around Changkong City all night.

However, for Bai Ge, it was more like a habit. Back when he was in school before his transmigration, there was always a nap time at noon. Over time, he had become sleepy every noon.

"So sleepy. I'm going to close my eyes for a bit. Wake me up when class is about to start. Ah~ The sunlight is nice, but it would be even better with a pillow."

Bai Ge's eyes were hazy. At that moment, he deeply missed the pillow on his ship. Oh, Pillow Li, I really, really want to sleep on Sushang's chest.

"Me too. Yesterday I took down three or four advancing types, and one that was riding a horse. I'm so sleepy, so sleepy. And Bai Ge's right, if only we had a pillow... Huh?"

Kiana, drowsy, suddenly fixed her gaze. With a lewd stare that would be considered rude even between girls, she intensely focused on Mei's sheer stockings and long legs.

"Kiana, why are you suddenly staring at my legs?" Mei asked, covering them somewhat bashfully.

However, the little "Kouhai" had already pounced, burying her face in those two sheer-stockinged long legs, sniffing them.

"Here's a ready-made one! The highest quality pillow! I want Mei's lap pillow!"

"Eh?! Lap, lap pillow?"

"Hehe, I saw it in manga from the Far East. Please, Mei, please?"

Faced with Kiana's ultimate, unbeatable, incredibly cute pouting offensive, Mei couldn't help but soften. But just as she was about to agree, a mixture of amusement and exasperation on her face.

"Fine, you can't be helped. Bai, Bai Ge?"

"Stare~~" (¬_¬)

The young man was staring at her expressionlessly.

Although he said nothing, Mei understood his meaning perfectly.

I want one too! Kiana, you really are a little genius. But if you can have Mei's lap pillow, then as her 'boyfriend,' I have the superior position, so wanting the same treatment is reasonable, right?

"Alright, alright. But you two can't do anything strange, especially you, Kiana."

Mei shyly agreed to their childish demands, but she still gave the other white-haired girl an extra warning.

"How could I~ This young lady wouldn't do anything strange to Mei. I just want to..."

"Okay, okay, sleep, sleep. You take my right leg, Kiana, and I'll take your right."

"Okay, wow, is this a lap pillow? Mei's lap pillow is so comfortable~ Zzzzzz~"

"Same here. Good afternoon, Zzzzzz~"

(These two fell asleep so fast.)

Mei looked at the two of them, who were already asleep with their heads on her left and right legs, a mix of amusement and exasperation on her face.
