Don't use yourself as payment for the commission!

Kiana Kaslana stopped at the school gate, crossed her arms, and waited for school to end so she could surprise Mei.

Although Kiana was staying at Mei's house, she hadn't actually been back for several days, and the reason was simple—she was very busy.

She was busy searching for her missing father, while also dealing with the assassins and Honkai Beasts she encountered along the way.

Even while wandering, Kiana Kaslana never forgot to uphold the chivalry of the Kaslana family, doing her best to help everyone she met and spreading beauty to this imperfect world.

"This world is never beautiful."

Kiana sighed, but the next second a somewhat... delirious look appeared on her face.

"In this bleak world, only Mei's clothes and thighs are still somewhat warm!"

If it weren't for the kind-hearted Raiden Mei taking in Kiana, who was like a homeless person, that white-haired (?) husky might really have ended up rummaging through treasure chests on the street.

Don't worry about me, I'll find food in the trash when I'm hungry.

But Kiana could also tell that Raiden Mei wasn't doing so well; her expression was always quite aggrieved and awkward whenever school was mentioned.

Someone at Chiba School must be bullying and harassing my beautiful and kind-hearted Mei!

You dare to bully Mei? You've already met your demise!

After spending two days dealing with the problem of a girl who almost became a suicide soldier, Kiana decided to come to Chiba Academy to help Mei get revenge.

When school was over, he stopped everyone at the school gate and beat them all up. Then, he grabbed Mei's hand and walked away amidst everyone's shocked and admiring gazes.

Just thinking about how his dashing figure, who could easily win Mei's heart in a fit of rage for her sake, made Kiana hum softly.

However, while she was daydreaming, Kiana also noticed a strange couple waiting at the school gate.

The main reason was that the white-haired, blood-eyed youth was so handsome that she couldn't help but take a second look, and then she noticed that there was a gray-haired girl with wolf ears and a wolf tail next to him.

What puzzled Kiana even more was that after noticing her gaze, the white-haired, blood-eyed youth actually smiled and nodded at her.

They acted like they were very close.

"What a strange couple! Luckily I don't know them, or I would be in trouble."

Kiana shook her head and refocused her attention on the school grounds. Soon after, she spotted Raiden Mei walking alone towards the school gate.

He immediately waved his arms excitedly and shouted,

"Mei, over here, over here!"

As Kiana shouted, Mei turned her head and looked over, then her expression froze for a moment.

What followed was an overwhelming surge of excitement and exhilaration, and she almost disregarded her ladylike image as she jogged towards Kiana.

Seeing Mei being so proactive, Kiana couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

So Mei likes me that much too? She got so excited to see me!

"Mei, I want to die..."

When Mei ran over, Kiana excitedly stretched out her arms, wanting to give Mei an enthusiastic hug.

But to her complete surprise, Mei rushed past her with a smile on her face and her arms outstretched, causing Kiana's voice to stop abruptly and her smile to freeze instantly.

"Hey?"

Kiana slowly turned her head, somewhat dazed, and watched in disbelief as Mei threw herself into the arms of the handsome young man with white hair and bloodshot eyes, burying her head tightly in his shoulder. Her trembling voice was filled with disbelief and excitement.

"Bai Xun! It really is you!"

"Is it genuine, or do we need to use a secret code?"

"Pfft, there's no secret code here."

Mei instantly stopped crying and started laughing, but she still held Bai Xun tightly in her arms, clinging to him tightly.

Texas, standing next to Bai Xun, stopped wagging its tail and coughed coldly twice.

This made Mei blush slightly, and she quickly let go of Hakushin and then gave Texas a big hug.

Kiana, standing to the side, awkwardly lowered her outstretched arm, feeling as if the sky was about to fall.

Holy crap, there's a cow!!!

What the hell happened? Why was my house robbed when I was only gone for two days?!

Kiana watched in disbelief as Mei held Hakuhiro's hand with one hand and Texas's hand with the other, only to find that Hakuhiro turned around again to look at her, and raised the corners of her mouth to reveal a rather subtle smile.

"Ok?"

"Ok!"

Although he didn't say anything, the mockery in Bai Xun's smile was so obvious that Kiana felt the string representing reason in her mind snap.

Totally crazy!

Chapter 69 Kiana vs. the Spring Spirit at the Middle Gate (4k)

Provoked by Bai Xun's highly provocative and mocking smile, Kiana felt like she was about to explode.

Warning?! Warning?! Warning?!

Kiana, in a burst of red, grabbed Mei's arm and pulled her to her side, looking at the two scoundrels, Hakuhiro and Texas, who had suddenly appeared, with wariness and hostility.

"Mei, who are they?!"

"Our relationship with Mei is for life."

Before Mei could answer, Haku Xun spoke first, continuing to tease the shrewish moonlit fish-cat that was breathing at him with a flirtatious smile.

We promised to be a team of reincarnators for life, so that's a lifelong relationship!

"A, a lifetime?"

Kiana's eyes widened suddenly, as she experienced a tremendous mental shock.

A lifetime or something...

This isn't a word that can be used in a normal relationship.

Could this be Mei's boyfriend? No, no, Mei never shows it like that. Could this be Mei's fiancé?

After all, Mei is also a young lady from a wealthy family, so it's not impossible that she has a fiancé or something.

"Bai Xun and Texas are my closest friends, with whom I have shared life and death experiences."

After hearing Mei's explanation, Kiana finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, but she still felt uneasy.

Why did Mei suddenly gain two close friends with whom she shared life and death?

"And what about me, Mei? What am I to you?"

Kiana pointed at herself almost instinctively and asked the question, looking at Mei with pitiful eyes like a kitten about to be abandoned.

Mei instinctively turned her head slightly to avoid Kiana's gaze, and after a moment's thought, replied,

"The strange girl who's staying at my house."

Thinking of the future that Bai Xun mentioned, Mei originally wanted to say, "You want to deduct my yuri-loving dog."

However, in order to maintain his image and out of consideration for Kiana's feelings, he held back and used a more conservative approach.

Unexpectedly, this statement dealt an even greater blow to Kiana, making her feel as if the sky had fallen.

Bai Xun and Texas are best friends who have gone through thick and thin together, while he is just an unrelated tenant?

Mei's words struck Kiana like a sharp arrow, causing her to collapse to her knees, utterly exhausted, and cry out as she pounded the ground in despair.

Today, my hands tremble... Today, my heart aches!

Why is this happening? I gave everything, yet I received not even a shred of love in return... Why did fate inflict this pain upon me? What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong?

"Kiana, don't embarrass yourself here."

A typical romantic drama between a man and a woman is enough to grab attention and attract a crowd of onlookers, but now Kiana, a stunningly beautiful white-haired girl with exceptional looks, kneeling at the school gate and crying out to another beautiful girl, has instantly drawn the attention of everyone around.

Mei felt so embarrassed that she was on Kiana's behalf.

She enjoys her own chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) but can't stand being forced into other people's awkward chuunibyou scenarios.

Kiana, however, completely ignored the gazes of those around her, and just kept crying and making a scene, looking extremely pitiful.

"I never expected that Mei-san could like me. I understand that Mei-san likes cute and adorable cats, but I am just a mouse."

Mei used to look at me and try to make me happy because her favorite cat hadn't appeared yet, and only I, this mouse, was tiptoeing out of my hole to meet her gaze.

"Now that her favorite cat has arrived, I should just crawl back into my mouse hole o(╥﹏╥)o"

But I still like her so much. Could she look at me a little longer while I'm still by her side?

Mei, whose wrist was being grabbed by Kiana who was crying and making a fuss, felt the hairs on her body stand on end, and cold sweat poured down her back.

Wow, what a terrifying gravity-based lesbian!

"Bai Xun, save my teeth!"

Mei's pretty face turned bright red from the double torture of the stares of those around her and Kiana's wailing. She anxiously turned her head to look at Hakuhiro, who was chuckling unabashedly to the side.

Not only Bai Xun, but even Texas's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile when she saw this scene.

However, Hakuhiro was Mei's "best friend for life" after all. After laughing, he still helped Mei get out of the crowd and together they pulled Kiana out of the throng.

"So what exactly happened? How did Bai Xun, you, and Texas end up in my world?"

On the way back to Raiden Mei's house, Mei couldn't help but ask the question she hadn't been able to ask earlier because of her excitement and Kiana's interruption.

Kiana stayed close to Mei, keeping a watchful eye on Hakuhiro while openly eavesdropping on their conversation.

Although neither Hakuhiro nor Mei avoided mentioning Kiana when they said these things.

"After you resurrected me and Texas with the Great Love Wolf Lord, we started the Seven Trials challenge again with two newcomers, and with our rich experience, we passed six dungeons in a row."

Because of the karmic entanglement between us and you, the Great Love Wolf Lord has given us an extremely special final instance.

"This final instance... is Minecraft?"

Mei's tone sounded somewhat incredulous, and Texas's Shiro answered on her behalf.

"Yes, our ultimate mission is to help you defeat Cocolia and save Changkong City..."

"Is this mission difficult enough to be considered a final instance?"

Recalling the formidable enemy she, Bai Xun, and Texas faced in the final dungeon, and then thinking about how Bai Xun described Cocolia as a clown, Mei felt somewhat incredulous.

“Cocolia is indeed a weakling, so the God Space has also added restrictions. We obtained this mission at the cost of losing the power we gained in the God Space... and also to reunite with you.”

In order to reunite with me... did Bai Xun and Texas also choose to give up their powers?

Thinking of this, Mei's heart softened, and she looked at the white-haired youth beside her with tenderness in her eyes.

"Bai Xun..."

Her body involuntarily moved a little closer to Bai Xun, which made Kiana, who was standing next to her, react with some shock.

He forcefully squeezed between Hakuhiro and Mei, separating the two who were getting closer and closer, his head full of question marks.

"Stop, stop, stop! What are you talking about? I can't understand a word!"

The Main God Space? The Great Love Wolf Lord? And Cocolia?! What is all this?!

"Sigh, it seems that for Kiana, whose intelligence is comparable to that of a paramecium, understanding this kind of thing is still a bit too difficult?"

Bai Xun sighed softly, causing Kiana to put her hands on her hips and glare at him angrily.

"Huh? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"No, I just think you have a pair of clear eyes that haven't been tainted by any knowledge."

Why are you suddenly praising someone?

Kiana touched her head somewhat embarrassedly, but then suddenly realized that she shouldn't be giving Bai Xun a nice look, so she quickly put on a stern face.

"By the way, what about the other two reincarnators besides you and Texas?"

Mei always felt a pang of sadness when she talked about it. Her best friend had made new friends, forging a bond with someone she didn't even know—a bond perhaps as deep as her own. This feeling...

Mei subtly understood Kiana's feelings when she saw Hakuhiro and Texas suddenly appear.
