The Death-Seeking White-Haired Ball

"Um, Kiana, maybe we should head back. For some reason, I have a bad feeling about this."

As they walked up the stairs to the rooftop, Dong Moxuan's unease grew the closer they got.

He couldn't help but turn his head and advise the Silver-haired Girl beside him.

"We're already here, what do you mean by going back now?"

Kiana's expression was dismissive.

"Why are you suddenly chickening out? Are you even a man?"

"This has nothing to do with whether I'm a man or not, I think we should be more cautious..."

"Stop dawdling, we're already here!"

Kiana directly cut Dong Moxuan off.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already reached the door to the rooftop.

"I'd like to see what kind of demons and monsters are behind this door!"

Saying this with a cold laugh, Kiana kicked the door open with a loud bang.

And then...

"Xuan... Jun?"

The purple-haired girl, hearing the noise, turned around and called out in surprise upon seeing the Silver-haired Youth before her.

Mei is okay...

Seeing Mei's current condition, Dong Moxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if Mei were to be completely consumed by Honkai Energy, it would be quite troublesome.

Mei, however, didn't have time to be happy upon seeing Dong Moxuan. Her gaze was drawn to Kiana, who was holding Dong Moxuan's wrist, and her eyes instantly turned grim.

Honkai Energy Corruption: 73% - 95%

The concentration of Honkai Energy on Mei surged instantly.

Seeing this, Dong Moxuan realized that his wrist was still being held by a certain silver-haired Paramecium.

However, before he could do anything, Kiana voluntarily let go of his hand.

"So beautiful..."

Looking at the purple-haired girl before her, Kiana couldn't help but exclaim.

For some reason, the moment she saw the girl, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't bear to look away.

Could this be the legendary... myocardial infarction— no, the feeling of love at first sight?

Kiana felt that the purple-haired girl before her was someone incredibly special to her.

However, she managed to retain a basic level of rationality and wasn't completely blinded by beauty.

After observing Mei for a moment, she cleared her throat and asked seriously, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

"And..."

Looking at the lightning and the incredibly dense Honkai Energy swirling around Mei, Kiana furrowed her brow slightly.

"What's going on with you right now?"

However, perhaps Mei's beauty was too captivating, as Kiana's serious demeanor only lasted for a moment before she became silly again.

"Of course, miss, don't be scared, I mean no harm."

Kiana took a step forward, waving her hand as if to lower Mei's guard.

"If you need any help..."

Zzzzt!

Kiana certainly meant no harm, but Mei might not have felt the same.

As Kiana approached her, the darkness in Mei's eyes intensified.

Before Kiana could finish speaking, Mei controlled a bolt of lightning and sent it directly at her.

And then...

Splat!

Seeing Mei suddenly attack, Dong Moxuan, who had been watching the unfolding events from the side, instinctively tackled Kiana to the ground, dodging the strike.

"Oof~"

Kiana cried out in pain as her body hit the concrete floor.

"Porn轩, Th-thank you..."

Recalling the lightning strike from moments ago, Kiana was still a little shaken.

However, Dong Moxuan ignored Kiana and looked at the familiar purple-haired girl before him, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"Mei, why did you suddenly attack?"

"Oh?"

Mei's lips parted in response to Dong Moxuan's question.

"Are you feeling protective?"

Dong Moxuan was speechless.

How was he supposed to answer that?

"What... what's your relationship with this girl?"

Ignoring Dong Moxuan's changing expression, Mei continued to ask.

Although her tone was exceptionally cold, anyone who observed closely could see the apprehension and nervousness in her eyes.

"Just a normal friend! A normal friend I just met recently!"

Dong Moxuan quickly stood up, raising his hands to show he was innocent.

Even though his emotional intelligence wasn't the highest, he understood how to respond at this moment.

Hearing Dong Moxuan's answer, Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She continued, "Then why were you protecting her just now?"

Dong Moxuan was speechless again.

Even if they were just normal friends, he couldn't just stand by and watch her get killed in front of him!

Listening to Mei's jealous tone, Dong Moxuan felt a headache coming on.

He didn't recall having raised Mei's affection level that high!

However, he also knew that Mei would never normally say things like a jealous girl acting spoiled to her lover. It was just that her will was currently being eroded by Honkai Energy, making her mentally unstable, so anything she said was normal.

"Even if we're just normal friends, I can't just stand by and watch her die, can I?"

Looking at Mei, knowing her current condition, Dong Moxuan gently soothed her emotions.

"I came to Senba Academy to find Mei, but I happened to run into her... so Mei, you don't need to worry about her, we..."

"Hey, Feng Xuan, aren't you a bit too spineless?!"

However, before Dong Moxuan could finish speaking, Kiana, who had just gotten up from the ground, interjected with an annoyed tone.

She looked at the purple-haired girl in front of her, her azure eyes filled with coldness.

"She's just a Pikachu that can generate electricity, why are you lying with your eyes open!"

After all, Dong Moxuan had told her the reason he came to Senba Academy before. Kiana had always been confident in her charm. Combined with the current situation, she didn't believe Dong Moxuan was lying to her. Instead, she thought it was a helpless remark made by Dong Moxuan under Mei's forceful pressure.

Did that guy really think that she, Miss Kiana, couldn't protect him from a Pikachu that could generate electricity?

Didn't that show too little confidence in her?

Although she had almost been killed by Mei's attack just now, Kiana believed it was only because she was caught off guard.

If she got serious, she didn't think she would lose.

"Hey, Pikachu! Listening to your tone just now, it seems like you really like Xuanyuan, huh? But Xuanyuan is my subordinate, and he won't like clingy people like you. So, Pikachu, you should just go home and play with electricity!"

Mei's sudden attack had completely erased Kiana's previous good impression.

Moreover, Kiana had also been slightly displeased by the subtly ambiguous words and actions between Mei and Dong Moxuan earlier, so her current words were merciless.
