"That's right—"
Kiana continued:
"Tomorrow, I'm planning to go to Homu Paradise with Senpai Mei and another classmate, Jiuxiao, the one with precognitive abilities."
"Before we leave Changkong City, I want Senpai Mei to have more happy memories. A good mood can effectively resist Herrscherization."

Theresa clenched her
