"I'm going to bite you to death today, you..."
"Kiana."
Just then, a calm, breezy voice rang out in the small bedroom. It was like the homeroom teacher's cough from outside the window during class, instantly plunging the entire room into dead silence.
"M-Mei?!" Kiana jolted and hurriedly sat up from the bed, staring in surprise at Raiden Mei, who had somehow appeared in the doorway.
