Kiana: Mo Yi Gave This to Me. Does It Look Good, Mei?

The four of them went on the classic rides, including the roller coaster, carousel, pirate ship, and drop tower. By the time they had played and waited, it was almost noon.

"Let's find a place to rest first—"

Mo Yi looked up at the high-hanging sun and suggested:

"How about we buy an ice cream and then play?"

"Uh-huh--"

Yue Xia and Kiana nodded quickly; they were indeed quite thirsty after playing for so long.

"I'll go queue up to buy it, you guys wait here—"

"Brother Mo Yi, I want to go too!"

Yue Xia quickly followed, leaving only Miss Mei and Kiana on the communal bench.

"Mei, what should we play later?"

With no one around, Kiana naturally had to talk to Miss Mei.

Miss Mei smiled nonchalantly.

"I don't have any particular activities I want to do, I'll just listen to what you and Theresa suggest."

She was quite frustrated. All that time and so many opportunities had passed because Kiana had been holding her hand, and she hadn't had a chance to invite Mo Yi to play games with her.

For example, sitting together on a teacup ride, or on a roller coaster, especially a carousel!

Until the very end, she could only play the role of the mother, watching Theresa happily drag Mo Yi around, laughing and exclaiming.

Was all of this part of your plan, Kiana?!

PS: Episode 4: After tidying up the room, True Kiana opened her suitcase. Besides her usual luggage, she also found groceries she'd bought. She then approached Mo Yi and said, "Landlord, I just bought a lot of groceries today. How about I cook a meal to thank you for renting the place to me?" Mo Yi: "..." Are you really Kiana, or is it Miss Mei? Completely bewildered, Mo Yi could only nod in agreement. True Kiana thought to herself: Plan works. This way, Mo Yi won't go out, and the imposter outside will experience the taste of 'Loser Eats Dust'. And this way, Mo Yi won't encounter that Vampire Cat. Thinking this, True Kiana clenched her right fist, suppressing a laugh, and thought: You old-fashioned guys have no reason to appear in the new world. Get as far away from me as possible! Want to get close to Mo Yi? Have you even asked for my baseball bat yet?!

Chapter 109: Kiana: This is a gift from Mo Yi, isn't it pretty, Mei?

Miss Mei finally got it right one time!

But she soon remembered that Kiana had refused to let Mo Yi take her to the amusement park and instead chose to go with her, and she began to have doubts again.

Am I overthinking things?

If the other party really thought that way, then I should have let Theresa be led by my own hand back then, so she could have done whatever she wanted to Mo Yi.

Seeing Kiana's bright (silly) smile, Miss Mei gave up on thinking about conspiracy theories. Kiana also had feelings for Mo Yi; the occasional glances she gave had already betrayed Kiana.

Kiana's decision to reject Mo Yi and choose to be with her today was probably due to her pride and shyness.

After spending this time together, Miss Mei has become quite familiar with Kiana's personality. After all, Kiana is like a clingy child, and as her mother, Raiden Mei naturally spends a lot of time with her.

She had chosen to walk with me because of her pride and shyness, unintentionally ruining my carefully prepared Date-A-Live plan for today.

Yeah, that should be right.

"Mei?"

Miss Pufferfish was still feeling depressed because of Kiana's brainless actions and felt unable to carry such a teammate. So Kiana didn't need to deal with Miss Pufferfish who liked to give random commands all day long. She was very focused and naturally noticed Raiden Mei's gaze fixed on her.

What's on my face?

Kiana wiped her face, somewhat puzzled, thinking there was something dirty on it.

"Nothing--"

Miss Mei and smiled:

"I'm just saying that I'll be going back to school soon, and then I won't have such a leisurely holiday anymore."

"I'm actually looking forward to it—"

Kiana, who has never experienced the torment of school, doesn't yet understand how painful school can be for a struggling student who has to stay in a classroom to learn.

A motivated but academically challenged student: It's not that I don't want to study hard, it's just that I really can't understand the teacher's incomprehensible explanations!

"After school starts, I'll be Mei's classmate."

"I wonder what it's like to go to school, Mei? Do you think it's fun?"

Miss Mei: "..."

When Kiana described going to school as fun, she knew that this would be Kiana's experience after starting school.

The struggling students in the class should be very happy, because they can all improve their ranking by one place.

"I think it's alright—"

Actually, Raiden Mei really doesn't like going to school. Living at Mo Yi's house now is the happiest time she's had in the past year.

Although so much time has passed since the incident with Raiden Ryoma, and the storm has died down, Raiden Mei will no longer be ostracized and targeted at school like she was at the beginning.

As for those who look on coldly, they feel that they have not done anything wrong. After all, such a thing happened to Raiden Mei's family. Can't we at least look down on them? Even if we don't look down on them, we should at least keep a distance. Otherwise, we might be misunderstood as sycophants who don't know right from wrong. What would we do then?

For Raiden Mei, this seemingly harmless act inflicted immense psychological trauma, transforming her from a revered and adored Queen Mei into a destitute Princess subjected to scorn and contempt. The inner turmoil she endured during this time was indescribable. (Raiden Mei transformation in Honkai Impact 2 and Honkai Impact 3rd is also related to this psychological trauma. Every Herrscher has a tragic backstory, or one of the conditions for Herrscher transformation is the need for sufficient dark emotions, subconsciously possessing anti-human tendencies. For example, the character who was forced by villagers to stab her sister to death, after that incident, harbored resentment towards her father and the villagers, which led to her being seduced and corrupted by Crimson Hell Maru. Whether in the main Honkai series or fan fiction, Yae Rin is the character with the highest probability of death.)

Even now, Raiden Mei still remembers the indifference and rejection she received back then. Therefore, at school, she remains an independent and aloof young lady, a kind of school life that Raiden Mei naturally doesn't like.

Especially after starting school, she didn't have as much time to spend with Mo Yi. (They weren't in the same class.)

Furthermore, her approaching Mo Yi in her current status might cause him unnecessary trouble, and Raiden Mei has recently been troubled by the issue of attending school. (Headmistress: St. Freya Academy welcomes you.)

"Mei, look!"

While Raiden Mei was feeling down, the active and lively Kiana quickly discovered something that interested her: a classic game stall where you shoot down prizes with a plastic gun.

"Let's go over there and play for a while. Anyway, the line for ice cream is so long, Mo Yi won't be back anytime soon."

After saying that, he was about to Raiden Mei away.

"No, Kiana— "

Miss Mei, speechless, pulled Kiana along and said:

"When they come back and don't see us, they'll worry that we've gotten lost. If they wander around, they really will get lost. In such a crowded place, it's hard to contact them even if they have cell phones."
