"...Why does this taste just like the milk I usually make?"
"Where do you think the breast milk you usually produce comes from?"
"..."
Kiana's expression immediately changed from deep thought to dilated pupils.
The next second, everything returned to normal.
Oh well, anyway, it really does taste pretty good.
The appropriate amount of Honkai energy replenishment restored Kiana's mental and physical strength to some extent.
After that, Kiana became a bit restless.
—What's the difference between staying put by Mei's side and missing a crucial opportunity?
We must establish our advantage before Mei starts trying to take Liu Bai!
...Although I haven't felt that the advantage is of any use yet.
"Liu Bai, what is this? Could it be..."
Kiana picked up the pocket watch from the shelf next to her; she seemed to have heard someone mention it before.
"It's hypnotic; it can hypnotize someone for a short period of time."
"what about this?"
"The talisman that summons reinforcements can be torn open to summon a three-headed wolf."
"Where is this acrylic sheet with the little osmanthus flower painted on it?"
"Light cone."
"Kiana..." Mei wanted to stop Kiana from asking so many questions.
Isn't that obviously impolite?
"So this is what summoned Huang Quan and the others, right?"
Kiana touched the gashapon machine.
"Ugh... There are so many people inside..."
Kiana is currently checking the card pool.
"And there's also a Big Bronya and a Big Seele! And then... mmm..."
There are so many potential enemies, and why are they all women?!
"Is there another Great Dane here?"
Kiana got along quite well with Danzhu and Cangxuan, those two lively characters, when she was at Shencheng Medicine.
"what……"
A new character, right... The last time I saw Liu Bai was Fei Xiao.
"If you're curious, you can try your luck. There should be about twenty leftover gashapon tokens over there." Bai didn't seem to care much. "I'll go downstairs and get you some food. You guys rest here."
After saying goodbye, Liu Bai left the studio.
Then Mei noticed that Kiana seemed even more eager to make a move.
"..."
Should I try to stop it?
Although Kiana and Liu Bai are closer, this kind of reckless behavior...
"Mei! Look here!"
Kiana waved a pocket watch in front of Mei.
"Mei, Mei~ You'll feel inferior when you see Kiana in the future because your chest isn't as nice as hers..."
"...What's wrong, Kiana?"
Ah, I broke free in an instant.
Sure enough, this guy seems quiet and reserved on the surface, but he's actually very proud of his physique!
Kiana felt as if she had suddenly seen through Mei, this treacherous little person.
"It's nothing," Kiana replied with a forced smile, then put away the hypnotic pocket watch.
(...Is that how Kiana sees me?)
Mei was not hypnotized.
In fact, if hypnosis is successful, the hypnosis pocket watch will break.
Unfortunately, Kiana's understanding of pocket watches came from others, and she only had a superficial understanding.
Mei's blank stare was simply because she didn't know how to react for a moment—Mei only glanced at the pocket watch, which had been in use for quite some time.
Kiana, frustrated once again, looked through Liu Bai's various collections.
...It feels like I can't touch most of these things.
Hmm, so why are there white panties? Who was the shameless person who put them in? Or did Liu Bai take them and use them secretly?
Fireflies? Or Ayaka Kamisato?
—After all, there aren't many people in the family who would wear such a pure color.
—Some girls also go for a seductive style.
It's definitely not hers.
...But it seems like that's also possible?
Kiana thought for a moment, then secretly slipped into the dressing room of the transformation equipment.
"Kiana..." Mei felt like she couldn't understand what her best friend was doing.
Two minutes later, Kiana came out and casually put the panties back in their place.
"..."
There can't be more than one!
And you should wash it a little!
Mei, who witnessed the whole process, was a little frantic.
Of course, she wasn't saying that Kiana had a problem with her personal hygiene, but rather that... they had just been sweating a lot.
Just putting it up there like that is too...
Hmm... It's only been a few months since I last saw her, why has Kiana become so monstrous?
I feel that given time, Kiana might one day shout "I want to drink Liu Bai's!" in the square of St. Freya Academy.
...That's terrible.
Just thinking about it is awful.
Perhaps I should sever my friendship with Kiana?
Mei had always thought that she might be the one who was perverted.
After all, she was a pampered and perfect young lady who secretly read unhealthy publications.
But now, compared to... ah, I'm still a normal person after all.
At the very least, I haven't thought about applying the knowledge I've learned from the notebook to practice!
Kiana, oblivious to everything that had happened the night before, sat down in front of the gashapon machine.
Then, Kiana faced a new problem.
To smoke or not to smoke?
I feel like if I smoke, I'll create potential enemies for myself, right?
...Although upon closer reflection, the number of open enemies is already so numerous that it can be despairing.
"...Mei, why don't you do it?"
"I?"
Mei pointed to herself in confusion.
Does this have anything to do with her?
"I feel like you're a bit luckier."
"really?"
Mei was puzzled.
Does she really have some kind of exceptionally good luck?
Among all the "Mei" actresses, she's only average, right?
"real."
Kiana was drawn to Mei's lack of obvious good luck!
"We'll each take ten draws!"
Although Liu Bai didn't force her to draw, she... wanted to try her luck.
And surely I won't lose to Mei in terms of luck!
"Think about it, if we could find new combat power, wouldn't the operation in the Quantum Sea be much easier?"
"...That's true."
Mei was persuaded.
After all, it's just drawing a card, not something shameful or perverted like dancing naked, not to mention that Liu Bai even allowed it.
…………
"...Why is it just a bunch of small toys?"
Kiana scratched her head.
"And this witch doll... is it a figure?"
"I also got a doll...it looks like a festival girl!"
Mei poked at the doll in her hand.
"Doesn't this doll look a bit like someone from the gacha pool?"
"Huh? Really? There are so many people in the gacha pool, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Kiana glanced at the characters displayed on the gashapon machine.
"Neither your festival girl nor the witch in my hand has a corresponding role."
(No... then that's it, isn't it?)
Come to think of it carefully, there aren't any characters like Huang Quan Fei Xiao in it, are there?
In other words... once it's been extracted, it won't be displayed in the gashapon machine anymore.
Mei believes in her memories.
So... the puppets in my hand and the ones in Kiana's hand...
Does it actually represent the strongest player in the gashapon machine?
Moreover, they all seem to be five-star level powerhouses.
Kiana might not have noticed, but she did see that there was another card pool setting nearby.
Mei specifically switched to the Festival Girl gacha pool called "Fireworks".
There was no particular reason; I just felt a sense of familiarity with the clothes.
"Kiana, let's pack our things."
Mei spoke calmly.
