The Amnesiac Alliance

After falling asleep, Raiden Mei and Kiana's expressions grew increasingly strange.

Until two hours later—the two suddenly woke up at the same time, gasping for breath with cold sweat all over their bodies.

"Hah... hah... hah... Was it just a dream?"

"Weird... why would I dream about these things..."

After the two suddenly woke up, Gu Yu's eyes snapped open.

"Crap, I forgot..."

He stiffly turned his head towards Kiana and Raiden Mei, then immediately began to assess their current condition.

Hmm, their mental states right now are both...

Well, that's not the point.

After confirming that the expressions on their faces weren't radiating any strange killing intent, Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

When he had told them to rest earlier, Gu Yu hadn't thought much of it. It wasn't until they just cried out that he remembered something.

In the past, the Second Herrscher, Sirin, had once seized the Herrscher of Thunder's core, the Conquest Gem, and made it her own.

Although Sirin lost everything in the Second Honkai War, Gu Yu hadn't forgotten how terrifying Herrscher cores were.

Sirin, who had once possessed the Conquest Gem, was currently lying dormant within Kiana.

And if the Conquest Gem within Raiden Mei came into contact with Sirin, it was perfectly normal for a few minor issues to arise.

"Phew, did the two cores resonate when they gathered together?"

"Good thing it didn't lead to a major mistake."

Muttering to himself, Gu Yu grabbed two bottles of mineral water from the table and walked towards them, handing the water to them.

"If you're awake, get ready to move. Hmm, but before that..."

"Kaslana, Raiden, find a place to... change your clothes..."

Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, the two girls, who had been in a terrible state just moments ago, only noticed the abnormality after taking the mineral water.

"Ah! Pervert!"

"Turn around! Hurry, turn around!"

Seeing their school uniforms, they both exclaimed with blushing faces and retreated a short distance.

"Sigh, I knew this would happen."

Gu Yu, who had already turned his head, scratched the back of his head and walked directly to the main door, leaving the room.

"Let's make good use of our time."

"Hmph, Elder Brother Gu is a pervert too!"

Annoyed, Kiana pulled out her change of clothes from her backpack, glared at the door with a blushing face, and began to change out of her school uniform.

"Is that so?"

Raiden Mei, who had also taken out her clothes, looked at the clothes in her hand and fell into deep thought.

She could feel that both she and Kiana had been in a terrible state when they first woke up.

But after Gu Yu's interruption, Raiden Mei looked at Kiana's slightly annoyed expression and suddenly felt that something was a little off.

After this small incident, the two had clearly temporarily forgotten the extremely bad feeling they had just experienced.

Even now, when Raiden Mei recalled everything she had seen in her dream, she no longer felt the urgent need to find Gu Yu and ask him about what happened on the rooftop, as she had when she first woke up.

She somehow felt that this interruption was intentional?

Or was this just her imagination?

After closing the main door, Gu Yu saw Bronya at the doorway, a not-so-friendly emotion in her eyes.

"What's wrong, Mr. Pervert? If you want to peek, you can still get a few more looks by looking through the peephole now."

"No matter what you do, Bronya won't tell~ any~ secrets~"

Listening to the girl's monotonous tone, Gu Yu clearly detected the mocking undertones.

However, he was too lazy to argue with Bronya over such trivial matters now.

"Listen, kid."

Leaning on the railing, Gu Yu looked at the rising sun in the dawn and said indifferently.

"I don't know if you've really lost your memory or if you're faking it, but at least now we're in the same boat."

"I don't want to die here, and you still have important people waiting for you to save. So I don't want to be dragged down during our escape. Therefore..."

"--If you do anything to hold us back, or betray us, I won't hesitate to kill you."

"Bronya understands, Mr. ~Pervert~ Big~ Brother~"

Listening to Gu Yu's words filled with killing intent, Bronya also said very solemnly.

"Bronya thinks the same way. If Big Brother betrays Bronya along the way, Bronya will absolutely not let you off."

"That's fine then."

After reaching an agreement, Gu Yu proactively extended his right hand.

"What for?"

Looking at Gu Yu's action, Bronya looked at him in confusion.

"Bronya, I don't understand this gesture."

"Even though I'm still annoyed by what you did earlier, let's just shake hands and call it even here."

After softly exhaling a breath of stale air, Gu Yu said with feigned ease.

"We're all amnesiacs, so before we leave Changkong City, let's get along well for a while as fellow amnesiacs."

"Is that so? Bronya understands."

Looking at Gu Yu's action, Bronya pondered for a few seconds before shaking Gu Yu's right hand.

"Only for this period, perverted big brother."

"If you dare to betray Bronya during this time..."

"Bronya will never forgive you."
