"Ah!"
Kiana was flung straight off the brown bear by its sudden stop. After spinning through the air several times, she crashed down beside the wild deer.
Seeing that Kiana had been thrown off, the brown bear sensed that something was wrong and hurried to her side, lying down beside her with a sheepish look on its bear face.
"You! Forget it... at least we caught this deer."
Kiana climbed up from the ground.
Although she had been thrown quite a distance, for Kiana, it merely made her butt hurt a little. It was nothing serious.
"Let's go, Bear Big!"
Kiana picked up the deer they had just caught, climbed back onto Bear Big's back, and pointed ahead. "Let's go find Sister Kallen! It's time to head back and cook!"
"I learned how to grill meat from Uncle Xu! This time, I'll definitely let senior sister Yae Sakura see just how good my grilling is!"
Bear Big gave Kiana an ingratiating response, then carried her in the direction she had pointed.
Meanwhile, outside Saint Mark Space...
"Hmm?"
Xu Yanwu sensed that something was off.
Why did he suddenly feel like sneezing?
"Someone must be thinking about me right now! And it can't be anything good!"
Xu Yanwu became alert. "Could Otto have come up with some awful idea again?"
"Ugh... no, Otto absolutely can't find out about Kallen yet. Otherwise, he'll go crazy... Who knows what he might do because of Kallen then."
"But what's with this feeling? Could it be Kiana?"
Xu Yanwu muttered as he continued stabilizing the Saint Mark Spaces in his care, supplying them with energy and keeping them steady.
Back on Kiana's side, she had already ridden Bear Big to find Kallen, who was carrying two live wild chicks.
"Sister Kallen, look at my haul!"
