"Then be good and wait here, Zerg. I'll grill you some hot dogs and bread, and warm up some milk."
Reluctantly, she let go of him.
Raiden Mei, clad in a thin nightgown, got out of bed.
What Zerg saw was her perfect figure.
However, the little Swarm Overlord's mind was already entirely occupied by the food he was about to receive.
[Happy Little Orca: Zerg, do you remember what Mei's home looks like?]
At that moment, Skadi sent a message.
[Starving Zerg: Mei's home is huge. It has lots of rooms!]
[Starving Zerg: Zerg is hungry. Mei is giving Zerg hot dogs and milk!]
When Kiana Kaslana saw those words, her entire body jolted.
Hot... hot dogs?
Milk... milk?
The white-haired dumpling's thoughts immediately went off the rails.
"Zerg, come eat your hot dog. Once you're done, you can drink some nice, warm milk too~"
A faceless pervert held a [hot dog] and slowly approached the innocent, clueless Zerg.
"Croak!"
Kiana Kaslana was seeing red.
Making the child starve was bad enough, but she was actually going to do that first thing in the morning!
Firstborn among Firstborn!
She had to send this Mei person to prison... no, she might as well just humanely destroy her!
[Ultimate Invincible Super-Freaking-Cute Paramecium!: Where is that Mei person? I'm definitely going to kill her!!!!]
[Ultimate Invincible Super-Freaking-Cute Paramecium!: Zerg, don't listen to anything that Mei person says!]
[Ultimate Invincible Super-Freaking-Cute Paramecium!: She's a Firstborn!]
Skadi somehow felt offended.
But why was Kiana's reaction so intense?
Weren't hot dogs and milk perfectly normal food?
The pure Abyssal Hunter was completely baffled.
[Starving Zerg: Mm, but Zerg is hungry.]
[Starving Zerg: Zerg wants to eat.]
[Starving Zerg: Yesterday, Zerg ate lots of food and drank salty water!]
[Starving Zerg: Zerg wants more!]
Kiana Kaslana stared at the little child's replies and fell silent.
Just how intense had it been for Zerg to be hungry again after eating so much?
And salty water?
The white-haired dumpling quickly thought of a certain position.
That pervert named Mei had pressed Zerg's head down there, and then...
"..."
Skadi frowned slightly.
In an instant, she sensed a surge of power emerging from the white-haired dumpling.
"Skadi."
The girl turned around to look at the Abyssal Hunter.
Skadi noticed that her eyes had changed—
Her originally azure pupils had become golden crosses.
Under extreme fury, Kiana Kaslana felt an unfamiliar yet powerful force welling up inside her.
And she seemed to hear a somewhat familiar voice by her ear.
"What did you do????"
"Why can you draw upon the Core's power???"
It sounded like the voice of that other self she had beaten up yesterday.
But the girl ignored that other self now.
Once her rage reached its limit, she instead became calm.
"I'm going to find Zerg. Are you coming with me?"
The unnaturally calm voice sent a chill down the Abyssal Hunter's spine.
After a moment of silence, she nodded anyway.
"Zerg said the home of that person named Mei is very large. She probably has considerable status and wealth in this world."
"Kiana, do you know where wealthy people live nearby?"
Skadi's reason remained intact, not consumed by anger.
"Where wealthy people live... hehehe... very good."
The girl with brilliant golden pupils smiled faintly.
The gold in her eyes deepened even further.
"No, impossible! The degree of resonance with the Core is rising?"
The voice of her other self was filled with astonishment.
Kiana Kaslana frowned slightly.
"Shut up. I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now!"
Little Zerg could be tricked into eating [hot dogs] at any moment, then forced to swallow thick [milk].
The girl only wanted to find that little child as quickly as possible—
Then humanely destroy that Firstborn among Firstborn.
Even if her stinking dad found out, he definitely would not blame her.
Kiana Kaslana would feel burdened if she killed someone.
But destroying trash among trash gave her no psychological pressure whatsoever.
"You!"
Then the voice vanished.
[Furious Queen: Zerg, is there a window near you?]
[Furious Queen: Look outside and see if there are any conspicuous buildings nearby.]
Kiana Kaslana asked with unusual calmness and rationality.
Searching aimlessly would only delay justice.
She had to arrive precisely and quickly.
[Starving Zerg: A window? There's a window in Mei's room. Zerg will go take a look!]
The little Swarm Overlord pattered over to the window.
Then he saw a peculiar symbol.
[Starving Zerg: Zerg saw this!]
[Starving Zerg: Image.jpg]
An image was sent over.
Kiana Kaslana quickly recognized the symbol—
It was the logo of ME Corp., the local giant of the Far East.
"Someone from ME Corp. abducted Zerg?"
She took out her phone and looked it up.
Then the girl found a piece of information—
[Raiden Mei: The biological daughter of Raiden Ryoma, president of ME Corp.; also the young lady of ME Corp. and its future heir.]
Mei, ME Corp., wealthy person...
It all connected. Everything connected!
That glamorous pervert had abducted Zerg!
Kiana Kaslana had uncovered the whole truth!
[Furious Queen: Zerg, wait for me! I'll be there right away!]
Using navigation, Kiana pinpointed the residence of ME Corp.'s young heiress.
Soon, she would arrive there and rescue Zerg from the pervert's hands!
"Skadi, come with me to this location. The person who abducted Zerg is named Raiden Mei."
Kiana Kaslana spoke slowly.
"Raiden Mei..."
Skadi repeated the name.
She felt that Kiana seemed to have misunderstood something.
But Zerg being abducted was indeed a fact.
So their most urgent task was to find Zerg first.
[Starving Zerg: Kiana is coming too? Zerg will save you some food!]
[Starving Zerg: Ah, Mei is here. Zerg is going to eat hot dogs and drink milk.]
Volume One: Chapter Twenty-Three, Thunderous Fury
"Zerg, wake up~"
Raiden Mei knocked on the room's door.
Then she gently pushed it open.
Holding a tray with breakfast on it, the young lady of ME Corp. saw the following scene—
A pure and flawless little fairy stood by the window with his back to her.
Warm sunlight spilled over him, making him look like an angel descended into the world.
Upon hearing her voice, the little child turned around.
That pure smile was etched into Mei's heart.
"Mei, food!"
Zerg flashed a wide smile.
He was starving right now.
"Yes, it's your breakfast."
Raiden Mei, dressed in a thin nightgown, slowly walked inside.
She casually closed the room's door.
