I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

In the melodious music, the three of them first came to the backyard of the school, where Ye Ming told Qiyana...

It was raining heavily that day, and the rice balls made by Mei were bitter and salty, because they were mixed with not only rain water but also bitter tears.

Even so, I still ate half of it as usual.

Because that was the agreement with Raiden Mei, no matter what she did or what Mei's identity was, it didn't matter.

"what the hell……"

After hearing the two people's story, Kiana puffed up her lips and a cute look of jealousy appeared on her face.

I just don't know who she was jealous of at that time.

Then the three of them came to the teaching building. Although most of the classrooms had collapsed and could not be entered, they still remembered...

When Mei was stabbed in the back, Ye Ming covered her up as a teacher and let Kiana go up and teach those guys a lesson.

"How is it? Am I doing well as a knight protecting the flower?"

Kiana put her hands on her hips, looking very proud.

"But those students call you a mad dog in private."

By the way, I am known as the dog leash man.

"what?!"

Kiana was obviously learning about this for the first time and she stamped her feet in anger.

"These guys are so blind! They actually treat me like a dog!"

"Indeed, it's obviously a cat."

"You are the cat!"

Seeing Kiana scratching Ye Ming's chest angrily, Mei suddenly felt that Ye Ming's evaluation of Kiana was very pertinent.

"How about a little compromise?"

Mei smiled and said:

"Kiana is my cat knight."

“Well… since Mei said so…”

Kiana first scratched her head shyly, and then laughed foolishly, seeming to be quite satisfied with the title of Cat Knight.

After that, the three of them came to the roof of the teaching building.

“Just being here makes me hungry.”

"After all, it's a place where we eat together."

While speaking, Kiana reached out for Ye Ming's package, which contained food for the journey.

While Ye Ming was replying, he naturally took the package aside.

Unlike the two noisy people, Mei walked to the railing on the roof.

Looking at the place where he had jumped down, recalling the scene when Ye Ming and Qiana pulled him back...

It seemed as if the cold railings had become warm.

"No matter how many times, I will pull you back."

Ye Ming walked to Meiyi and said softly:

"Even if I can't do it, Kiana can definitely do it."

"Um……"

Looking at the gradually red sunset, Mei naturally took Ye Ming's hand.

"time to go."

··········

After that, the three of them avoided the attacks of the Honkai beasts while searching for supplies and shelter in the ruined city.

Because they were worried that the Herrscher in Mei's body would get out of control again, Ye Ming and Kiana did not let Mei help in the battle.

"It is the knights' duty to protect the princess~~"

Every time they encountered danger, the two of them always protected Mei behind them with a smile, but Mei, who was being protected, could not be happy at all.

Soon, Mei realized that all she could do was pray for the two of them, and wait until the battle was over to help Ye Ming and Kiana wipe and bandage their wounds.

"Does it hurt?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all... it hurts!!"

Ye Ming, whose wound was wiped with alcohol, cried out in pain.

Hearing his screams, Kiana on the side couldn't help but laugh:

"You are such a pain-prone guy. Such a small injury makes you feel so painful."

"Stop talking nonsense! I don't have the nerves like you!"

"A thick nerve is better than a pain-fearing ghost~!"

"The abundance of neurons is a sign of evolution, but you, a paramecium, wouldn't understand."

"Who are you calling Paramecium?"

"Kiana!"

This time, the quarrel between the two no longer made Meiyi happy. Seeing the wounds on Ye Ming's body, Meiyi's heart seemed to be bleeding.

"Alright~! I got it!"

Kiana muttered in a sullen manner:

"I just didn't expect Ye Ming to be so afraid of pain."

Then, she kept staring at Ye Ming, as if to keep this point firmly in mind.

"I'm going to go over there to investigate. Ye Ming, you stay here to protect Mei Yi."

"Why does this sentence feel familiar?"

"Hehe, this isn't the first time we've divided up the work like this. It's because I'm more agile~~!"

Kiana and Ye Ming were still chatting and laughing, but Mei behind them couldn't laugh.

She had her hands on her chest and had been frowning since a while ago. The pain in her heart was unbearable.

"Mei, just now... you don't have to be angry at Kiana."

Ye Ming sat next to Mei Yi and explained in a soothing tone:

"We two idiots quarrel every day, and Kiana has no ill intentions."

"I know, Kiana did nothing wrong."

Mei said coldly:

"I don't mean to blame her, and I'm not angry at all."

She bit her lips tightly, with a hint of crying in her tone.

"I just... don't want to see you get hurt again."

In her life, Mei had never felt so disgusted with the word "princess" as she did now.

If she were a princess, it would mean that she would not be able to fight. If she were a princess, it would mean that her favorite knight would have to sacrifice himself for her.

Mei wanted so much that she wanted to kill the princess with her own hands.

"I want to help you even if it's just a little bit."

"Um……"

Seeing Mei like this, Ye Ming did not refute her idea.

The fear of losing the other person and wanting to do something, this feeling is clear to me better than anyone else.

"Well, there's something that Kiana and I need your help with."

Ye Ming said solemnly:

"I had a lot of concerns before, worrying whether that would add too much pressure on you, but since you want to help, you still have to be aware of this."

"you say!"

Mei leaned forward and listened carefully to every word Ye Ming said.

"We have had enough of instant food. In the days ahead, I hope you can cook for us under these harsh conditions."

Perhaps he felt that his description was not accurate enough, so Ye Ming added:

"Hot, fresh, homemade food from Mei!"

"Ugh?"

Mei was a little overwhelmed by Ye Ming's request.

"that is it?"

"What do you mean just?"

Ye Ming corrected:

"Since there was no chance to process it, Kiana and I had to give up a lot of raw food."

"As long as you can help us cook, not only will our food supply be more sufficient, but it will also greatly boost morale."

"This is so important for survival right now."

186. You are the most important people in my life

"I'll try to help you cook, but..."

Mei felt that this was far from enough, and Ye Ming stroked her long hair and said with a smile:

"Didn't Kiana say that one day with you is equivalent to one year?"

"So for me, being able to eat the food you cook is like having the power of two hundred more people!"

It seems a bit too much, forget it.

Only Kiana is allowed to brag, but I am not allowed to?

"I'm back~!"

At this moment, Kiana ran over with a baseball bat:

"There's a supermarket over there that has everything. We can set up camp there."

"Are there any pots and pans?"

"Of course, but what are you here for?"

"Mei said she would make us some hot food so we don't have to eat canned food anymore."

"real?!"

Kiana happily threw herself into Mei's arms, and Ye Ming gave Mei a thumbs up:

"See, I was right, wasn't I~!"

"Um……"

While caressing Kiana in her arms, Mei's eyes were full of Ye Ming's figure.

The sun's light refracted through the moon and shone gently into Mei's heart, as if it could calm even the most violent thunderstorm.

"Mei, your heart is beating so fast."

Kiana raised her head from Mei's embrace and asked curiously:

"What happened?"

"I...I'm just looking forward to cooking for you two."

After that, the three people ran to the supermarket and rescued a lot of fresh food from the cold storage.

Thanks to Mei's superb cooking skills, Kiana and Ye Ming finally had their first "proper meal" since the outbreak of Honkai.
