Are you his girlfriend?

In addition to Kouro, who is now solidifying his plan to steal weapons.

Kiana who was in her room was seen finally doing something productive besides being a 'NEET'. She is practicing martial arts according to the method taught by her father.

After being soundly defeated by Theresa, Kiana is now training hard in order to defeat her aunt.

But every time she thought of Theresa's unreasonable muscle strength, Kiana felt a little scared.

Although they were both artificial humans, Theresa's DNA was a little special as her DNA was combined with the Honkai Beast 'Vishnu' gene.

This gave her a high level of regeneration ability, perhaps this being one of the reasons why Theresa did not age.

But the most important ability of 'Vishnu' is that it can 'devour' anything to strengthen itself, unfortunately Theresa does not know about this ability.

Back to the topic, the martial arts technique that Kiana is practicing is 'Kaslana Gun-kata'.

This technique is a martial art passed down from the Kaslana lineage.

The martial art has a fighting style that combines martial arts with gunplay.

If Kouro was here and paid attention to his martial arts. He would finally find out why in the attack game the character surnamed Kaslana used firearms as blunt weapons.

Kiana who was practicing suddenly sighed helplessly.

Somehow she felt she would not be able to defeat her aunt forever.

On a sunny afternoon.

Mei who originally rarely went out of Senba Academy now suddenly took the initiative to come to Tachikawa academy or rather to the dormitory where Kouro lived after school.

The reason Mei went was because she remembered the incident yesterday when Kouro received a text message from someone that made him have to rush away as if there was an emergency.

Mei was a little worried (jealous?) about it which made her anxious so she came on her own initiative to see Kouro.

It has long been known that there is only one male student at Tachikawa Academy and he is the only one living in the male dormitory.

This made Mei feel no shame in coming to Kouro's dormitory.

By now, Kouro had also received a text message from Mei telling him that she would be getting to his dorm soon.

Knowing this, Kouro immediately left hid room and headed downstairs.

But the first person Mei met at the dormitory was not Kouro but Kiana, as she lived on the first floor of the dormitory building.

Kiana, who heard unfamiliar footsteps from the dormitory corridor, thought that her cruel aunt had returned.

She was seen putting up a fighting stance and coming out of her room slowly, but what she saw was a stranger she didn't recognize.

She saw a girl with an authoritative and elegant temperament. Compared to her cruel aunt, the difference between the two of them was like oil and water.

For Kiana who was 'taught' by Theresa yesterday had suffered a tragic blow to her heart.

But seeing a beautiful girl in front of her had given her a refreshing feeling.

A strong and strange feeling of comfort immediately arose in Kiana's heart.

When Kouro came down from upstairs, what he saw was Mei wearing an awkward expression as she was surrounded by Kiana who was firing questions at her consecutively without stopping with sparkling eyes.

It seemed that because of Kouro's previous interference, Kiana did not fall in love with Mei at first sight.

At least she didn't admit it right away, but her overly familiar demeanor made Mei who rarely spoke other than with Kouro feel difficult.

Seeing this, Kouro first pulled Kiana like holding a stray cat before introducing her to Mei.

"This girl is Kiana Kaslana, as you can see, her personality is a little reckless. She's in trouble for accidentally losing her bank card, that's why I let her stay in this dormitory for a while." Kouro said with a calm expression while pointing at Kiana using his thumb.

Kiana's expression looked annoyed at the way Kouro introduced herself for only mentioning her faults and shortcomings.

"Don't talk about me like that, I have my strengths too!"

In front of Mei, Kiana seemed to be very concerned with image issues.

She was then seen using some unconvincing excuses to overturn Kouro's definition of her as 'Reckless'.

After talking and getting acquainted with Kiana, Mei gradually changed from a troubled smile to a relieved smile.

She was a little lost because she thought Kiana was Kouro's girlfriend.

After all, the two of them lived together, especially now that the ratio of men and women was not balanced.

It was fine for a good boy like Kouro to have a girlfriend or even a harem.

Mei at first thought Kouro had been hiding something from her that made her sad, but it turned out she was just thinking too much.

Kouro then explained the reason Kiana was staying and how long she was staying in his dorm.

Mei, who roughly understood some of Kouro's information, looked at Kiana with sympathy.

Although she didn't really understand Kiana's family situation. In general, Kiana's situation was similar to hers, they both grew up in an environment that lacked family affection.

Thinking of this, Mei then asked softly.

"Are you going to enroll in Senba Academy next semester? I'm also a student there."

She felt that having a junior like Kiana was not bad even the days she felt lonely seemed to be gone which was a good thing.

"Huh? Really? Yatta!" Mei's words made Kiana so happy that she even raised her hands in celebration.

Kiana had originally planned to find any excuse not to go to a boring place like school.

Moreover, Kouro did not attend the Senba academy, which left her with no acquaintances or friends.

But if Mei was there, she wouldn't be so opposed.

With Kouro straightening out the relationship between the two of them, Mei quickly became close with Kiana.

As for Kiana's previous attitude of showing a close attitude after meeting her once. Mei thought for a moment and quickly guessed Kiana's mood.

'That... Must be missing the friendship right? Compared to the opposite sex, being friends with the same sex was a bit more comfortable. Especially if you have a boyfriend that you can talk about everything with without being embarrassed. '

Mei unconsciously glanced at Kouro who was joking with Kiana.

Kouro who was talking to Kiana was thinking even more than Mei. He was currently recalling information about Kiana's childhood.

He discovered that Kiana's feelings for Mei must be a manifestation of longing for family affection from the so-called 'Mother'.

As a child, Kiana who was still like a blank sheet of paper was taken care of by Siegfried, she only received affection from her father, but not the affection from her mother...

Kiana was probably looking forward to feeling Mei's motherly affection. Moreover, Mei's maternal aura is very strong.

Kouro, who had been thinking of philosophical questions about Kiana and Mei's relationship, suddenly tapped his forehead.

He almost shifted his attention from his preparations for stealing to how to straighten out Kiana's initially twisted sexual orientation.

Kouro then glanced at Kiana who was talking to Mei while wearing a pleased expression.

But that didn't last long when a protesting sound from Kiana's stomach appeared making the atmosphere awkward.

*Growl! *

Kiana felt that her image in front of the gentle Mei was damaged again, she could only look down while blushing in the end.

Mei didn't know what to say to diffuse the awkward atmosphere so she turned to look at Kouro with an expression of asking for help.

Kouro quickly cleared his throat and said with a natural expression.

"Ahem! Seeing as it's already noon, let's have lunch together, I'm already very hungry."

Of course, no one opposed him.

It was a pity the dormitory didn't have a kitchen, otherwise then he could show off his cooking skills to the two of them.

As for the refrigerator in Kouro's room being something he bought himself, he had also asked the principal for permission to be able to add furniture in private rooms without any restrictions.

As a result they went to a familiar restaurant, the moment Kiana saw the restaurant, she finally remembered something that she had previously overlooked.

She looked at Kouro then at Mei, after a moment of silence Kiana then asked.

"Are you his girlfriend? "
