Due to overexerting herself last time, Nana’s Honkai Energy still hadn’t recovered.
At this very moment, she was sprawled on a white plastic chair from a food stall.
She seemed to have turned completely gray, and a soul-like wisp seemed to be floating from her mouth.
She had finally managed to sense the presence of energy and even used it successfully once.
How did she accidentally turn it into a one-time experience card?
“So lame…
Am I one of the few people in history who managed to turn it into an experience card…” Mei stood nearby, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, watching.
“It seems our Nana is really hung up on this matter~” “Of course I am!
I thought I was a genius, but it turns out I’m a super big dummy…” “Pfft.
Alright, nothing is built in a day.
Being able to control it like that on your first try is already very good.
The energy just hasn’t recovered temporarily, don’t worry about it too much.
Do you want to eat something sweet to change your mood?” Being a foodie, Nana instantly revived from her wilted state upon hearing the last few words, her future looking bright once more.
She happily raised her hand and suggested, “Okay!
I want chocolate-flavored!” “Chocolate?” Hearing this, Mei recalled just how much chocolate Nana had eaten during this period because of training…
Why did it feel like she never stopped from morning till night?
It seemed the stock at home wasn’t enough for this greedy cat.
“Forgot?
Because a certain greedy cat has been eating chocolate from morning till night, whether it’s white, dark, bitter, or sweet.
There’s none left at home~” “What?!
How could this be…” Nana instantly wilted again.
A chocolate-loving cat without chocolate was like going to battle and forgetting your gun.
Just as Nana was feeling dejected, her stomach growled at an inopportune moment.
Nana scratched her head in embarrassment, her face slightly red.
Seeing her like this, Mei couldn’t help but laugh.
“It seems your stomach is protesting too.
Let’s go out to eat something then.
It’s a good time anyway since we can’t train for a while.
Let’s relax properly.” Nana’s eyes instantly lit up.
She jumped up from the chair and pulled Mei, running outside.
The two arrived at a bustling commercial street, looking at the various dessert shops.
So many choices, it was hard to decide.
Just as Nana was feeling unsure how to choose and wanted to rely on instinct, they walked into a small dessert shop.
The shop was filled with a rich aroma of chocolate.
The display case held all sorts of chocolate cakes.
Nana’s eyes were glued to them.
Was this heaven?!
Her eyes immediately sparkled as if stars were twinkling in them.
She pointed at an extra-large chocolate cake and said, “Mei!
I want this one!” Mei also picked one she was interested in and paid with a smile.
Currently, since Mei was in charge of meals at home, Nana had handed over most of her money for Mei to manage.
The two found a seat by the window in a corner where they could see outside.
Nana couldn’t wait to cut a piece of cake and put it in her mouth.
She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
“It’s delicious!!
Mei, Mei, you try it too, it’s really great!” As for the temporary lack of Honkai Energy recovery, she had thrown that worry to the winds at this moment.
Her eyes held only chocolate.
Only when full can one be in a good mood~ Mei suddenly felt she didn’t understand Nana that well after all?
Maybe she should try to understand everything about her today?
“Nana, why do you love chocolate so much?” “Huh?” The silly cat hadn’t clearly heard what Mei just said and made a confused sound to confirm.
“I said, Nana, why do you love chocolate so much?” “Hmm…” Why did she like chocolate…
She didn’t really know either.
If she had to trace it back through her Remembrance…
“I think it’s because…
because of something that happened when I was little?” Nana frowned, trying hard to recall.
“I remember that time, my mom told me something, I couldn’t accept it, so I just ran wildly and ended up somewhere I didn’t know.
My Remembrance of that event is already very blurry.
I just remember there was only a purple-haired big sister left.
She seemed surprised to see me crying, flustered and unsure how to comfort me.
She just handed me a piece of chocolate and said…” “The ‘purple-haired big sister’: If you’re unhappy, have a piece of chocolate.
My friend said chocolate is sweet, eating it gives a feeling of happiness, it can drive away all unhappiness~” “After that, whenever I was unhappy, I would eat chocolate.
Slowly, I grew to love it more and more because it really does give a happy, satisfying feeling…” Mei looked at Nana with gentle understanding and lightly patted her head.
“So there’s a Remembrance like that.
Did you ever see that purple-haired big sister again after that?” Nana shook her head.
“No.
I couldn’t remember what she looked like no matter how hard I tried later.
I only remember she had purple hair.” As she spoke, Nana cut another piece of cake and put it in her mouth, saying vaguely, “Hmm, it’s quite similar to your hair color, Mei.
But it’s okay.
Now I have you with me, Mei, and such delicious chocolate cake.
Those things from before are all in the past.” Mei looked at Nana, who had cream smeared at the corner of her mouth from eating, and reminded her, “Eat slowly, you’ve got cream on your face.
No one’s fighting you for it.” “I know, I know.” Mei currently knew that Nana loved sweets, especially chocolate, hated unpalatable food, preferred quiet places where she could relax, was very sensitive to smells and sounds—feeling nauseous if something smelled off and focusing intently on listening—and also had an ability akin to danger perception.
If something was staring at her from behind, Nana would sense it and accurately turn to look in that direction, on alert.
Currently, it seemed these should all be reactions formed in childhood, preserved as instincts to this day.
But what did Auntie say to Nana?
It seemed to have been a huge blow, enough for Nana to not remember?
■■■■: What could I have said?
Just some truths.
“?!” Mei instantly became alert.
She thought she had just heard a voice.
She looked left and right.
They were sitting in a corner with no one around, but she really thought she had heard something.
“An auditory hallucination?
Nana, did you hear any strange sound just now?” “Strange sound?
No?” “Isn’t this a corner?
It’s just the two of us.
If you heard it, Mei, I should have heard it too.” Right.
Even Nana, who was so sensitive to sound, didn’t hear it.
It was most likely an auditory hallucination.
Scaring herself~ After enjoying their food, the revitalized Nana held Mei’s hand and continued to stroll around, looking for other delicious things to eat.
After the two left, a beauty with white hair and cyan pupils sat at the spot where they had just eaten dessert.
She looked out the window at the two holding hands as they left, a slight “interesting” smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
Then she stood up from the seat and slowly walked towards the shop’s exit.
Her steps were elegant, and she exuded a mysterious aura.
Despite her outstanding presence, not a single person noticed her.
Finally, she glanced back in the direction of the other two, smiled, and vanished on the spot.
Sensing something staring at her, Nana keenly turned her head immediately towards the direction where the other had vanished.
But there was nothing.
Nana frowned.
Her feeling couldn’t be wrong…
“Someone with ill intentions?” The vigilant Mei also prepared herself, because she knew Nana’s sudden turn was due to her “danger perception” instinct activating.
“I don’t know.
My reaction was already fast, but there’s nothing in that direction.” “Nana.
Hide or investigate?” “Continue walking normally.
If I still feel it, it means it’s been following.
If not, it was probably a misperception or it’s already gone.” Mei nodded.
“Okay.” If danger really occurred, they could definitely escape, though it might be a bit conspicuous.
As for fighting…
someone from the higher-ups in Shenzhou might come looking for them for questioning tonight.
After they left, ■■■■ stood on a rooftop somewhere, sighing with emotion.
“I just came to take a look at the Little fellow.
That perception is getting more and more accurate.
I can even be perceived now.
Is it because there’s energy supporting it from within?” “Hmm, seen enough.
Time to go.”
