Elsewhere, after a day of traveling, Kiana, Mei, and Bronya spent the night in an abandoned house whose owner had long since disappeared.
However, none of them slept on the beds. Mei sat on her knees against the wall to rest, while Bronya naturally used Mei's black-stocking-clad thighs as a pillow, sleeping peacefully on them.
As for Kiana...
She slept with her back against the sofa, wearing a very disgruntled expression.
After an unknown amount of time, Mei slowly opened her eyes. She glanced at Bronya on her lap without waking her, merely placing a hand gently on her back.
Then she heard Kiana's voice.
"Humph! Liar! It's obviously really comfortable..."
Mei turned toward Kiana and discovered that she had woken up at some point, though her face was still full of unhappiness.
She was still bothered by what happened yesterday...
Mei felt a little helpless. This Kiana!
"She actually dared to sleep on Mei's thighs! We shouldn't have brought her along."
Kiana discovered that Bronya was sleeping on Mei's thighs and immediately became even more upset! She had not even slept on Mei's thighs herself, yet Bronya had stolen her first time.
That little brat!
Kiana could not help but stand up and walk over to Mei and Bronya.
"Don't say that. Without Bronya, we wouldn't have been so safe along the way."
Hearing the jealousy in Kiana's voice, Mei could not help but speak up for Bronya.
That only made Kiana even more displeased, and she replied in a sarcastic tone.
"Yes, yes, Bronya is really amazing. Mei likes her the most."
However...
"Yes! I like her the most."
In response to Kiana's sarcasm, Mei gave a bright smile and answered directly.
"Ugh..."
Hearing Mei's answer, Kiana's expression instantly changed, as if she had swallowed something disgusting.
