Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Quarrel

After the two returned to the living room, Himeko was no longer there. She had gone to the kitchen to heat up food. Mei had left some food for her in advance, so all she needed to do was heat it up. However, Elysia was also there, so one portion would definitely not be enough, which meant she needed to make some more herself.

Looking at the two people sitting opposite her, Elysia decided to speak first, otherwise she felt they wouldn't say anything until Himeko came out.

"The gentle and lovely Miss Mei is already asleep upstairs. Won't you two little darlings introduce yourselves? Elysia is really looking forward to being friends with you ♬ ~" Elysia said, looking at the two little darlings opposite her who seemed to be lost in thought.

With Mei not by her side, Kiana also calmed down a bit. "I am Kiana Kaslana, Sister Elysia, you can just call me Kiana. I'm very sorry for misunderstanding you earlier."

"It's nothing, after all, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?" Elysia said gently, then looked at Bronya, "So, what about this little darling? What's your name?"

"Bronya Zaychik, just Bronya is fine," Bronya said expressionlessly.

"Eh? So Bronya's full name is that," the White-haired ball, who heard Bronya's full name for the first time, was very curious.

"Kiana never asked."

"Elysia doesn't have such a complicated name as yours. Elysia's full name is Elysia." Looking at the two little ones in front of her now, and Mei upstairs, in the future, they would experience many things until they were mature enough to become saviors of the world, with Kiana even becoming the God of Earth.

Elysia was a little distracted, but looking at them, Elysia felt there would surely be some changes. If there were no changes, then what was the point of her arrival?

Seeing Elysia distracted, Kiana waved her hand in front of Elysia. "Alright, Kiana, no need to wave anymore."

"Isn't it because you were lost in thought? You suddenly went completely silent. Oh, right, you also came from Nagazora City. How did you live in Nagazora City before you came out?" Kiana asked curiously.

"Kiana," Bronya called out directly to Kiana from the side, trying to remind her.

"Aren't you curious, Bronya?" But Kiana didn't understand Bronya's meaning. Bronya just wanted to tell her that Elysia had just escaped from Nagazora City and was rescued, so it was better not to bring up Nagazora City. After all, Elysia originally lived in Nagazora City, and the Honkai outbreak directly destroyed Elysia's original life.

From the moment she sat down, Bronya had been investigating Elysia's information. Regarding the distress call, Bronya was a bit suspicious, but Theresa brought the person back, and Theresa would definitely not harm Kiana.

Bronya did not refute Kiana's words. She was also a little curious about living in a city after the Honkai outbreak for a period of time; it was a doomsday-like scene.

"Hmm, how should I put it? For me, it was just a period of living alone. I don't go out often," Elysia thought for a moment, then didn't know how to explain.

"Eh? Elysia, you stayed at home all the time? Didn't you run out of things at home to eat?" Kiana was a little surprised.

"Yes, I did run out, but where I live, it's quite easy to get food. I just need to go downstairs," Elysia said very casually.

"Aren't you scared?" Kiana asked.

"What's the use of being scared? If fear could solve problems, then why would we still need to work hard?"

Listening to Elysia's words, Kiana fell silent, and the living room became quiet again.

Elysia looked at the silent two. "You also came from Nagazora City. Can you tell me about your experiences? Elysia is very curious about them." Elysia had no choice but to continue guiding the conversation.

"How did we get out?" Kiana frowned and thought for a moment. After a while, Kiana said, "As for us, we fought and hid our way out from the school."

"Fighting and hiding all the way, it seems Kiana is very brave," Elysia said, clapping her hands as she spoke.

"Of course! I am the knight of the Kaslana family!" Kiana said confidently, "I protected Mei all the way and broke through the Honkai Zombie."

"Correction, if it weren't for Bronya, Kiana, you wouldn't have been able to leave Nagazora City," Bronya added from the side.

"Bronya! Are you looking for trouble?" Kiana, who had been holding her head high, instantly turned to look at Bronya.

"Bronya is not wrong. If Kiana only relied on her grass-bug-like abilities, she would not have been able to leave Nagazora City," Bronya retorted with emotionless words.

"Bronya! I'll fight you!" Kiana directly pounced on Bronya, but Bronya dodged in advance.

"Give up, Kiana, you alone cannot defeat Bronya," Bronya said, once again dodging Kiana's flying pounce.

Seeing this, Elysia sat there and chuckled softly. "You two have such a good relationship."

"Who has a good relationship with it?" Kiana, seeing that she couldn't catch Bronya, returned to her seat, then secretly glanced at Bronya. "Mei insisted on bringing her, otherwise I wouldn't have brought her."

"Correction, if Kiana hadn't always caused trouble, we could have left Nagazora City much faster."

"Bronya!"

"Bronya is not wrong!"

"Then tell me where I caused trouble! I led you all the way out by fighting!" Kiana was very angry.

"Our food ran out prematurely because Kiana was gluttonous," Bronya glanced at Kiana.

Kiana's anger subsided a little. Kiana explained in a low voice, "Isn't it because I fight often, so I get hungry quickly?"

"We had clearly dodged a wave of Honkai Zombie, so why did Kiana have to touch the railing next to her?"

"Wasn't it because I safely led you past the Honkai Zombie and was a bit happy, and then the baseball bat accidentally touched the railing?"

"It was clearly said we were going to find food, so why did Kiana bring back only snacks?"

"That's not right! Snacks are also food!" Kiana retorted loudly, having found a point to argue.

"Then, please explain, Kiana, how many people the food you brought back was enough for."

...Anyway, didn't we all eat our fill in the end?" Kiana was already a bit unable to look up.

"That's because Sister Mei found some emergency food at our temporary resting place," Bronya mercilessly broke Kiana's defense.

"Anyway, anyway, didn't I bring you all out in the end?" Kiana curled up in the corner of the sofa, completely gray, already doubting her life.

Elysia just smiled and quietly watched them bicker. So, as expected of the Big Three, huh?

Elysia walked to Kiana's side and poked Kiana with her hand. "Bronya, is Kiana alright like this?"

"No need to worry, Sister Elysia. With Kiana's intelligence, she'll get excited again in a little while."

"Is that so? It seems you two have experienced a lot of things, unlike me, who just waited at home for rescue," Elysia stroked Kiana's head.

"Hiding alone and waiting for rescue is also a very difficult thing," Bronya said.
