Mei: I'm Sorry, but I Have to Win This Match (Part 2)
Before the alarm clock on the bedside lamp went off, Miss Mei had already woken up automatically. Then, as usual, she got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, tidied herself up, and went to make breakfast for everyone.
But today was a little different, because after breakfast they went to the nearby amusement park together.
Therefore, Miss Mei woke up 15 minutes earlier than usual today.
Because today is a battle, an exam, just like in school, there are one or two monthly exams every semester. Although monthly exams don't affect the most important step of getting into a good school, they are still a very important part. First, they test your own strength and the strength of your classmates (Kiana? Theresa? Her Highness the Princess: No, I'm not here). Second, they build your confidence so that you can keep pushing forward.
So, Miss Mei usually goes makeup-free, decided to put on some light makeup today, choose a suitable outdoor outfit to match, and stick with her signature bow ponytail hairstyle. As for her signature lingerie, she probably won't need it; she'll pick one out later when she has time.
Raiden Mei, who had arranged everything clearly before going to bed, got up and immediately put her plan into action without any hesitation.
Twenty minutes later, she stood in front of the full-length mirror and spun around to make sure there were no mistakes. Then she clenched her fist and encouraged herself, "Kiana, I'm sorry! I have to win this match."
Then, with her usual gentle smile, she went out to make breakfast.
Meanwhile, in Kiana's room not far away, Kiana, like a salted fish, was still fast asleep, wrapped in a blanket with half her body exposed, breathing softly.
"Get up, you stupid Kiana!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Miss Pufferfish shouted loudly in Kiana's mind.
"If you don't get up now, someone will wake you up again, you shameless rascal!"
"What's the rush, you stinky pufferfish—"
Kiana pressed her head with a pillow and muttered to herself:
"Haven't you had breakfast yet?"
Miss Pufferfish: "..."
In other people's eyes, are you the Herrscher personality who lacks reason, or am I the Herrscher personality?!
Why do I, a Herrscher personality, have to worry about the personality's affairs like a mother hen?
Especially after hearing Kiana's sarcastic remarks, Miss Pufferfish became even more agitated, feeling an urge to punch someone! She could only roar angrily in the dark space.
Why did it turn out like this?!
That's right, it was all that stinky cat's doing! But you're the only one I absolutely cannot let go of! I'm going to make you my toy for life!
After a period of helpless shouting, Miss Pufferfish finally calmed down and continued to call Kiana to wake up.
"You said last night that you would think of a plan to deal with that awful woman before you went to sleep, but what happened then, you damn Kiana!"
Naturally, after five minutes, Kiana started to feel sleepy. Faced with the nagging Miss Pufferfish, Kiana cleverly found a reason to persuade her.
How can you come up with good ideas if you're not energetic? You might as well go to sleep first and come up with ideas when you get up early tomorrow; that will be more efficient.
Moreover, if she doesn't sleep, Mo Yi might not come back tonight, Miss Pufferfish, you might not be able to teach Mo Yi a lesson tonight!
Kiana is always surprisingly resourceful when it comes to things like sleeping, eating, and slacking off.
Upon hearing this, Miss Pufferfish thought, "Oh, right, it's almost time for my cat-petting session tonight. I can't waste this precious evening on something like Kiana."
So Miss Pufferfish let Kiana go and let her go to sleep.
And now, realizing it's getting late, Miss Pufferfish wakes Kiana up so they can plan their Date-A-Live today. They can't let that wretched woman's evil scheme succeed. (Miss Pufferfish: I don't know what she's thinking, but it's definitely an evil plan.)
Then, she muttered again about Kiana's unreliable nature, saying that she couldn't wake Kiana up now that she was sealed in by the blanket.
Having no other choice, Miss Pufferfish calmed down and whispered in Kiana's ear, "Wait, Raiden Mei will be playing at the amusement park with Mo Yi later. Since the Ferris wheel can only seat two people, you can only watch them sit together and then be alone in the sky."
"Then they got together, and you were the superfluous one. The closer they got, the more superfluous you became, until finally no one cared about you anymore."
"Can you accept this?"
As Miss Pufferfish whispered her evil god's words, corresponding images automatically appeared in Kiana's mind.
"Stop talking, I'm up, okay?"
Kiana kicked off the covers and sprang up, muttering in dissatisfaction, "So, what's your plan, Miss Pufferfish?!"
Miss Pufferfish: "..."
All I did was wake you up and let you figure it out yourself. When did it become me coming up with a solution for you?!
Thinking of this, the Miss Pufferfish covered her forehead with her hands in despair and sighed to the sky, "What sins did I commit to have such stupid other personalities?"
"How could someone as clever as Sirin end up like this? It must be because of Kaslana's body—"
Ten minutes later, Kiana finally went out and saw Raiden Mei wearing an apron passing by.
Mei, Mei!
Kiana, with a familiar, bright smile, unleashed her ultimate attack.
"Kiana, good morning too. Why are you up so early today?"
When Raiden Mei asked her a question, Kiana looked away and said, "I sometimes get up very early too, it's not strange."
Miss Mei: "..."
Is that so?
Kiana, you clearly got up this early just like me; I could tell from your evasive gaze.
Furthermore, Honkai Messenger are attracted to each other, Kiana, you can't hide it from me!
At that moment, unbeknownst to Miss Mei, Miss Pufferfish appeared beside Kiana, loudly accusing her. "Look at others! Even I, Herrscher, can see that they've dressed up meticulously and exude the aura of a vixen!"
"And what about you? You only have one or two sets of clothes that you just throw together randomly. What can you possibly change?"
"I think you should hand over your body to me later, and then I'll find an opportunity to throw her directly into the Imaginary Space. That's the only solution!"
"Miss Pufferfish, you're so annoying!"
Kiana glanced at the Miss Pufferfish and thought to herself:
"You're even more long-winded than Mo Yi. You know perfectly well that no matter what you say, I won't listen!"
Miss Pufferfish: "..."
Seeing that Miss Pufferfish was about to lose her temper again, Kiana quickly comforted her, giving her teammate some courage by saying, "Don't worry, I've already thought of a perfect solution!"
"There will definitely be no problem!"
