Chapter 11: With Kiana around, it's like having the strength of 100 people (Please add to your favorites)
Paramecium appeared very disappointed after learning that Mei had a boyfriend named Bai Ge.
However, this naturally lively white fluffy ball quickly perked up again.
Kiana stood with her hands on her hips in front of Bai Ge, and spoke with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I didn't expect Mei to already have a boyfriend. Oh well, but Bai Ge, since you're Mei's boyfriend, why don't you protect her properly?"
Kiana felt that this boyfriend was unfit to be a boyfriend, as he had allowed his girlfriend to experience school bullying.
" Kiana, it's not what you think. Bai Ge is already protecting me. It's just that we, um..."
Mei wanted to explain to Kiana that her relationship with Bai Ge was just a fake one, and that she had actually received a lot of help and comfort from the boy.
But for a moment, I didn't know how to organize my thoughts, since the matter of being a fake couple was a confidential matter.
Although Mei was very grateful to Kiana for standing up for her today, it was clear that Bai Ge was still more favorably regarded.
This girl, who had been betrayed, had not yet fully trusted anyone other than Bai Ge.
( Bai Ge: " Kiana, you're too late. Mei is already mine!")
Bai Ge definitely beat them to the punch this time. After all, according to the original plot, Raiden Mei, who was in despair, developed such a strong liking for Paramecium after being saved by Kiana that her sexual orientation even changed.
But at this moment, Bai Ge became the person she trusted most, and Mei was a good girl who was devoted to her family. In addition, there was the environment of school bullying, and all these factors combined.
This means that Mei is now much more wary of everyone except Bai Ge, and even Paramecium is no exception.
However, she hesitated, unsure how to explain.
But Bai Ge finished speaking crisply and decisively.
"Okay, okay, actually Mei and I are in a fake relationship. It's a pity that I transferred here too late. Mei was in a worse situation back then, but in order to protect her as much as possible, we became the couple we are now."
"Huh? Is that so?" Kiana blinked her eyes and tilted her head, looking adorable.
"Yes, that's it." Bai Ge nodded with one hand on his hip, looking quite certain.
"Well, alright then. It seems I misunderstood. So you're a good person, Bai Ge. From now on, I'll protect Mei too. Hmph, with me here, no one will dare to cause trouble."
"That's great! With Kiana around, it's like having the strength of a hundred people."
"That's right! Hehe, Bai Ge, you know a lot~"
After being praised, Kiana immediately showed a smug expression, and her favorability towards Bai increased by a conservative estimate of ten percentage points.
Bai Ge: 'Easy peasy~ It's just an early-stage Kiana, not yet a firefly or an end-of-life bug. Just keep its bristles up and swat it; it's no problem at all.'
As for why he so readily told Kiana about the fake relationship, it was because he knew that the girl would definitely not tell anyone.
Bai Ge might have concealed it from others, but there was no need to hide it from Paramecium.
This silly and clumsy but kind and brave girl is someone you can completely open your heart to.
"But is this really a good thing for Kiana? If she gets too close to us, no, to me, everyone will ostracize her too," Mei worriedly said.
Although she longed for more warmth and wanted to be good friends with Kiana, kind-hearted Mei didn't want others to be ostracized because of her.
Kiana nonchalantly said she didn't care.
"It's alright, and besides, I don't want to be friends with guys who enjoy bullying others. In the end, the only reason I came to school was, cough cough, nothing, nothing."
"......"
Bai Ge was a little worried about whether his judgment was correct. Wouldn't this girl accidentally let something slip?
As for Kiana's purpose in coming to school, Bai Ge was perfectly clear: it was to investigate Honkai Energy and find her father, Ziegfried Kaslana.
In short, now that we have two of the three starter Pokémon, the only one left is Bronya.
Bai Ge was really looking forward to Bronya's appearance; he couldn't wait to see what the live Bronya looked like!
............
After that.
Since the three of them became good friends very easily, and with Bai Ge and Kiana by her side, Mei's situation has improved a lot.
Almost no one dares to cause trouble directly anymore.
However, it was only natural that all three of them were isolated, but that was a trivial matter for Bai Ge and Kiana, and they didn't care at all.
Perhaps it was even thanks to this environment that the three of them quickly grew closer.
............
The rooftop of Chiba Academy has become almost a small base for the three of them. Every day at noon, Kiana would run over from the first-year students' area and the three of them would have lunch together.
Bai Ge glanced around, thinking that a wormhole would appear in this place in the future.
" Kiana, you eat so fast!"
"I couldn't help it, I was hungry."
Bai Ge and Mei finished their bread in no time, without even opening their own lunchboxes, before the Paramecium had already devoured its meal.
But he still looked incredibly hungry, lying there staring expectantly at Bai Ge and Mei.
Recently, the concentration of Honkai Energy in Changkong City has been increasing. She often goes out at night to fight Honkai Beast and Deadpool. Although the Kaslana family members are all superhuman, they consume far more energy than normal people.
Moreover, Kiana lost Siegfried's black card on the way to Changkong City, so her food expenses were severely insufficient. With only two or three pieces of bread, she was afraid they would be digested the moment she swallowed them.
"Okay, okay, don't look at me so pitifully. Here, take it and eat."
"Hehehe, Bai Ge, you're so nice!"
The girl excitedly accepted Bai Ge's lunchbox, instantly transforming into a gluttonous eater and starting to shovel rice into her mouth.
"Ugh, I just can't do anything with you."
Bai Ge chuckled and sighed as he ruffled Kiana's hair. The feel of that white fur was absolutely amazing, and it really tickled his ball area.
There was no other way; after all, the white-haired guy was targeting Chinese special forces.
"......"
Mei, standing next to her, had a somewhat subtle expression. Kiana was clearly a girl, but the way the two of them were acting... she felt like her fake boyfriend was petting a cat.
Bai Ge first used his own lunch to attract Kiana's attention, and then, while Kiana was engrossed in eating, he immediately began to fondle her!
