I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

"Oh? No need for that." Mei quickly waved her hand, trying to push the money back. "Just consider it my treat. To be honest, I feel very lonely living alone in such a big house. I'd be happy to have someone to talk to."

"No! Mei, you have to take this money!" Kiana's attitude was unusually firm. She grabbed the money and tried to stuff it into Mei's hand.

"Then accept it."

A cool male voice suddenly rang out in the room, interrupting the two girls' polite refusals.

"Who are you?!" Kiana reacted with astonishing speed. Almost the instant the voice rang out, she flipped over and jumped off the bed, shielding Mei behind her. At the same time, with a flick of her wrist, a silver-white pistol was already pointed at the unfamiliar figure that had appeared at the door.

"Who are you?" Mei was also taken aback by this sudden turn of events. She looked at the handsome young man in a black hooded sweatshirt at the door with surprise in her eyes.

"Kiana, wait!" Mei snapped out of her daze. Although she had no idea where Kiana had pulled the gun from, she immediately grabbed Kiana's hand holding the gun and pressed it down hard.

She turned to the boy and tentatively asked, "You are... Gu Yejun, right?"

"Mm." Gu Ye nodded.

"Wow! Is this Mei-senpai's house? It's a really huge villa! That's amazing!"

A vibrant, energetic voice came from behind Gu Ye, followed by a blonde bombshell peeking out, her bright red eyes curiously surveying every corner of the room.

"Kitagawa-kun?" Mei recognized the person at a glance.

"Don't forget about me." A voice with a slightly arrogant yet elegant tone rang out, and Rin Tohsaka walked in with her arms crossed and a composed gait.

The last person to enter was a figure completely out of place with the peaceful atmosphere here.

W wore a sexy black mercenary outfit, with devil horns on her head and a swaying tail behind her, proclaiming her uniqueness.

She took a deep breath, a complex emotion flickering in her bright red eyes.

"What a...wonderful world," she murmured, her tone unreadable, neither praising nor mocking. "There's not even a trace of Originium dust in the air, and the sunlight is so clean. It's practically paradise, isn't it?"

"Y-you are..." Kiana was completely bewildered. She looked at this person, then at that person, and finally turned to Mei beside her for help. "Mei, what's going on? Who are they?"

"Kiana, don't be nervous, they're not bad people." Mei patted Kiana's arm reassuringly, then turned to the group and bowed slightly. "Welcome, Gu Ye, Kitagawa-san, Tohsaka-san, and... Ms. W. Thank you for coming to help."

"No need to be so polite, Mei-senpai!" Kitagawa Kaimu immediately came over and warmly took Mei's hand. "I'm so happy to see Mei-senpai in person! You're a hundred times more beautiful in person than in photos!"

"Wow!!!"

Kitagawa Kaimu's exclamation echoed through the villa. Her bright, beautiful eyes widened as her gaze darted back and forth between Gu Ye and W.

She grabbed Rin Tohsaka's arm, her voice low but still unable to hide her excitement:

"Really?! Gu Yejun is clearly an incredibly handsome guy! Miss W, why did you call him a spineless coward?"

"With his small frame?" W leaned lazily against the door frame, looked Gu Ye up and down with her bright red eyes, and curled up a mocking smile. "I'm afraid I'll blow him over if I just blow on him."

“You don’t need to care about her,” Gu Ye’s voice was calm, revealing no emotion. “In the Sarkaz world, the average height of men is over 1.85 meters. I’m less than 1.85 meters tall, so I certainly don’t meet her standards.”

He clapped his hands, and the crisp sound drew everyone's attention.

"Alright, we can catch up later." His gaze turned to Kiana. "Kaslana brat, put away that sparkly toy of yours. We're here to resolve the crisis in this city. From now on, you just need to follow orders."

"Huh? What did you say? Who's the brat?!" Kiana's temper flared instantly. She puffed out her chest and retorted defiantly, "And another thing! This isn't some toy! This is real, it's very powerful!"

"Kiana!" Mei's voice grew louder. She gently grasped Kiana's wrist holding the gun and shook her head at her. "Be good."

Kiana met Mei's serious gaze. Although she still looked displeased, her aura clearly weakened.

She reluctantly snorted and turned her face away.

Chapter 11 Kiana: Move aside, let me handle this!

"Very good." Gu Ye nodded in satisfaction.

"Shall we take action? Where to?" Rin Tohsaka asked.

"The ME headquarters building of Anti-Entropy," Gu Ye gave the answer directly. "That's the most likely place for Cocolia. Even if she's not there, to artificially detonate the collapse of the entire city, we would need a high-yield Honkai energy bomb. Such a thing can only be deployed in the laboratory at ME headquarters. If we can stop the bomb, Changkong City will be saved."

"So that's how it is. Someone is deliberately causing Honkai." Kiana's playful expression vanished, replaced by a serious one. "I was wondering why those assassins and Honkai beasts on the streets had suddenly become so active lately. Turns out, a madman was behind it all!"

"Huh?" Kitagawa Kaimu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked at Kiana curiously. "So, Kiana, you've been fighting those bad guys all this time? Are you the legendary hero of the night?"

"Night Hero? What's that?" Kiana blinked in confusion.

"It's the kind of chivalrous hero who silently protects the city in the dark of night, always ready to help others!" Kitagawa Kaimu gestured with his hands, his tone excited.

“Oh! Hero!” Kiana immediately understood. She proudly put her hands on her hips and raised her chin high. “That’s right! I am the hero! To uphold justice and eliminate evil is my mission, Kiana Kaslana!”

Although she didn't know what a hero in the dark was, she still understood the principle that "the greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and take down that villain's lair!" Her voice was filled with impatient excitement, as if she could already see herself achieving a great victory.

"Not urgent."

Gu Ye's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Kiana's enthusiasm.

He didn't even turn around to look at her; instead, he focused his gaze on the flowerbed swaying quietly in the afternoon sunlight outside the living room's French windows.

"Before we go and cause trouble, we have to deal with the appetizers that have been delivered to our door first."

Meanwhile, deep underground in Changkong City, in the ME headquarters building of Anti-Entropy, the only sound in the huge command room was the cold, mechanical hum of machinery.

Cocolia gracefully crossed her legs as she sat in her commander's chair.

She picked up a steaming cup of black tea, gently blew away the steam, and her gaze fell on the huge surveillance screen in front of her, which was divided into dozens of small images.

"Report." A subordinate in an Anti-Entropy uniform quickly walked to her side and reported with his head down, "At the home of the target, Raiden Mei, four unidentified individuals suddenly appeared. Apart from the white-haired girl who seems to be from Schicksal, the other four... our system cannot track any information about them; they seem to have appeared out of thin air."

Cocolia's gaze swept across the screen, finally settling on Mei, who was surrounded by Kiana, Rin, and Haimeng.

She put down her teacup and let out a soft laugh.

"They're just a bunch of delinquent teenagers doing role-playing. What kind of trouble can they cause?" Her tone was languid and disdainful. "These young people always like to get involved in these flashy subcultures. Isn't Bronya obsessed with those cartoon characters called 'Houmu'?"

Her fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest, her gaze finally settling on Kiana's striking white hair that stood out in the crowd.

“Speaking of the white-haired girl’s lineage, isn’t there only the Schicksal family on the entire floating island?” Cocolia raised her eyebrows slightly. “The little girl from the Kaslana family… Schicksal has finally noticed my plan? This is earlier than I expected.”

She paused for a moment, then the curve of her lips widened.

"But sending just a little girl who hasn't even grown up yet, isn't that a bit too much of an underestimation of us, Anti-Entropy? Does that old man Otto think he can stop me with just a little girl?"

"Give the order." Cocolia's voice regained its composure, carrying an undeniable authority. "Accelerate the release process and increase the Honkai energy concentration by another twenty percent. I don't have time to play house with these kids."

"Yes!" the subordinate replied immediately. "Then... should we send someone to directly control Raiden Mei?"

“No need.” Cocolia’s eyes softened for a moment, as if she remembered something to be proud of. “I have already notified my most prized daughter to go there. You all know her strength better than anyone else.”

"A mere Kaslana brat and a few cosplayers of dubious origin can't stop her."

Instead, it was the weather outside that made her say, "What a beautiful day! How did it turn cloudy in the blink of an eye? It looks like it's going to rain."

The atmosphere in Mei's living room became somewhat heavy because of Gu Ye's words.

Rin frowned and subconsciously reached for the gem pouch on her thigh.

W licked his lips, his bright red eyes flashing with a dangerous light, like a wild beast that had spotted its prey.

Just then, a petite figure appeared silently on the lawn of the garden.

She had silver-gray spiral twin tails, wore an exquisite, doll-like combat suit, and had no expression on her face.

Behind her, the massive armed robot "Heavy Bunny 19C" hovered in mid-air, its cold cannon muzzle flashing with a ghostly blue light, precisely locking onto Raiden Mei in the living room.

A flat, emotionless voice, like a synthesized electronic voice, clearly entered everyone's ears.

"Target Raiden Mei has been confirmed."

"Bronya, here to carry out the capture mission."

The sky had darkened without anyone noticing, and thick, dark clouds, like spilled ink, quickly soaked into the entire firmament.

Bronya's emotionless voice echoed in the silent air.

"Huh?" Kiana's eyebrows furrowed immediately. She stepped forward, shielding Mei completely behind her, and steadily raised her twin pistols, the dark muzzles pointing directly at the petite figure floating in mid-air.

"You little brat, you think you can take Mei away from me?" Kiana's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "Little sister, this is not a place for you. Go home and find your mother!"

"Be careful, she's an assassin." Gu Ye's voice came from behind, his tone as calm as if he were stating the weather.

"Huh? Her?" Kiana turned to look at Gu Ye, her contempt growing even stronger. "Hey, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the word 'assassin'? She looks so frail, I could knock her down with a single finger!"

Unfortunately, Bronya's petite, delicate, doll-like figure was simply not convincing.

Even W, who was used to seeing life-and-death battles, sneered. She lazily crossed her arms and gave Gu Ye a mocking look: "Kid, are you insulting the glorious profession of 'assassin'? If assassins all looked like this, I would have unified the continent of Terra long ago."

"You all step back!" Kiana waved her hand confidently, flicking a strand of white hair away from her forehead. "Watch me apprehend this clueless little brat in no time!"

Chapter 12 Kiana enters! Kiana loses!

Before she finished speaking, Kiana suddenly exerted force with her feet, and her body shot out like an arrow.

The essence of Kaslana Gunfighting lies in the perfect combination of high-speed movement, hand-to-hand combat, and firearm shooting.

Kiana's figure left a white afterimage on the lawn, her dual pistols spitting fire as she charged, a dense barrage of bullets raining down on Bronya.

However, those bullets, powerful enough to tear through steel plates, struck an invisible pale blue hexagonal energy barrier a meter in front of Bronya's body, creating ripples before falling helplessly to the ground.

Bronya's expression remained unchanged. Behind her, the Heavy Bunny 19C extended two enormous mechanical arms, forming a shield in front of her.

Kiana's side kick was steadily blocked by the mechanical arm, and the huge recoil made her entire leg go numb.

"Is that all?" Bronya's voice remained flat. "Data analysis complete. Your attack pattern is too monotonous. Threat level downgraded."

Under Kiana's shocked gaze, Heavy Bunny 19C's form began to change rapidly.

Two enormous mechanical arms folded back and retracted, merging with the main body to form a menacing floating turret.

A massive cannon, several times larger than Kiana's head and gleaming with a dangerous, eerie light, slowly aimed at her.

Destructive energy gathered in the muzzle, emitting a teeth-grinding hum.

The next second, a thick blue beam of light burst forth.

Kiana only had time to cross her arms to protect herself before being blasted away by the irresistible impact. She flew through the air in a messy parabola before crashing heavily onto the lawn more than ten meters away, rolling several times before coming to a stop.

"Cough...cough cough..." Kiana got up from the ground, covered in dust, and shook her head, which was feeling a little dizzy.

Her school uniform was torn in several places, and her fair skin had several scratches, making her look disheveled.

She glanced at the silver-haired girl who was still floating in the air with a blank expression, and then at the armed robot behind her that had returned to its original state but still exuded a terrifying aura. She finally realized what kind of monster she had provoked.

QQ: 8 1 4 9 0 3 7 9 8

Kiana's lips trembled, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She scrambled to Gu Ye, grabbed his collar, and tearfully accused him:

"You call this an assassin?! Huh?!" Her finger trembled as she pointed at Bronya. "Look at that thing behind her! That cannon barrel is thicker than my waist! Is this an assassin? This is a mobile fortress! A humanoid Gundam! Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

When that dark, gaping cannon, countless times larger than the small-caliber pistol she used, was pointed at her head, Kiana had already mentally cursed Gu Ye's ancestors for eighteen generations.

"Wow..." Kitagawa Kaimu's mouth dropped open, her face filled with shock. "Wow, that's amazing! That robot is so cool!"

"Tsk, miscalculation." W's expression turned serious for the first time. "That thing's firepower has reached the level of military-grade siege weapons. This little girl is not simple."

Rin Tohsaka muttered to herself, "To drive such a massive collection of magical energy with such a petite body... no, that's not magic, it's some completely different technological system. What a monster."

Bronya completely ignored Kiana's cries and the shock of the crowd.

In her mind, which was like a supercomputer, defeating Kiana was merely clearing away an insignificant obstacle.

Her mission objective remained singular from beginning to end.
