Someone in Honkai, This Narration Isn't Right / Honkai Scroll Dog Dao Chapter 19

Even though the signal on her phone hadn't returned to 4G, being able to communicate was still better than it becoming a game console that could only play mini-games.

Looking at the phone in her hand, Kiana immediately called Raiden Mei.

The result...

[The number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later.]

"Mei... Sigh, I forgot, she hasn't even gone home yet, so it's not strange her phone is out of battery."

Hanging up, Kiana immediately dialed the second number.

In the past, she had interacted with Lin Yu, the exchange student, and they had exchanged phone numbers.

Speaking of which, today was a bit strange. If he wanted to find me, couldn't he just call me directly?

Senior Lin Yu... he seems a bit off today too...

[The number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later.]

"Huh????"

Listening to the prompt from her phone, Kiana angrily hung up.

"Why is Senior's phone also switched off!"

"Ahhh! I'm so angry— Don't you two disappear on me at a time like this."

"And not just one of you, but both of you— They couldn't have gone out to have fun behind my back, could they?"

Saying words she didn't even believe herself, Kiana helplessly opened the internet and logged directly into the local forum.

Originally, Kiana's plan was to contact Lin Yu and Raiden Mei first and have them figure out a way to quickly leave Changkong City, a place where Honkai might break out.

But now that she couldn't contact either of them, Kiana had to take other measures first.

With the rise of 4G networks and the acceleration of phone iteration, more and more people have nothing better to do than to hang around this local forum.

Kiana's idea now was simple: she wanted to use the power of the internet to let others know that something was going to happen in Changkong City.

But...

The post was sent.

After one minute, Kiana's post, "Changkong City is in danger, Honkai is about to descend, everyone run quickly," received no replies.

Three minutes passed, and a few people replied.

But Kiana wasn't stupid; she could tell at a glance that these people didn't believe her at all.

They just thought she was posting a prank, so they played along with her words.

Five minutes passed, and Kiana looked at the replies on the forum, feeling her blood pressure rising.

[Another urban legend series? What Honkai, what Meele... Is this urban legend about zombies this time?]

[This is a normal forum, please let spiritual and sci-fi enthusiasts find another place to prank.]

[We come here to exchange local information. If you keep running over here and posting this kind of stuff every few days, you'll just pollute the board.]

Then, in the sixth minute, looking at the prompt on her phone screen: [This post has been deleted by the administrator. You have been banned for 7 days], Kiana's blood pressure completely exploded.

"This! Group! Of! Idiots!"

Suppressing the monstrous strength of a beautiful girl who could have crushed her phone, Kiana restrained her inner rage and put away her phone.

Although she cursed them, Kiana didn't blame these ordinary people.

After all, for ordinary people who didn't know about Honkai, their reaction was quite normal.

But—what about those who knew about the existence of Honkai?

Didn't her stinky dad say that although Schicksal had bad people in charge, there were also many good people?

I've already noticed something's wrong with Changkong City, so what are those people in Schicksal doing right now!

Chapter 30: Kiana's Plan

Although Kiana was dissatisfied with the current performance of Schicksal, the so-called "anti-Honkai organization," she wasn't completely despairing yet.

To put it simply, Kiana Kaslana was never a pampered young lady.

Ever since her father disappeared, at the young age of twelve, she had traveled all the way from Europe to Asia.

While her luck certainly played a part in her safe journey to Asia, this feat was inseparable from Kiana's own efforts.

Having struggled alone for so long, how could Kiana give up just because other organizations were unreliable?

Changkong City was not the first city she had stopped in.

Here were her friends, classmates, and millions of innocent people.

The thought of Honkai breaking out, and these innocent people becoming displaced or even losing their lives because of it, made Kiana's mind race even faster.

Then, she immediately thought of a solution.

To put it bluntly, modern society is vastly different from ancient times, especially in terms of information and communication.

On the forum, Kiana was "assassinated" by the administrator's deletion of her posts and ban – but that didn't mean she couldn't notify others in Changkong City through other channels.

Having already thought of a basic plan, Kiana took out her phone and began searching for a map of Changkong City.

As Kiana opened her phone again, she slowly let out a sigh of relief.

"Good, the phone is still working normally."

This operation will definitely expose me to Schicksal's sight... but I can't worry about that now.

Millions of people in Changkong City could die because of the Honkai. I'm a warrior of the Kaslana lineage, how could I possibly back down, endure, and choose to live alone for my own sake because of something like this?

Moreover, if this plan succeeds, then even if Lin Yu-senpai and Mei's phones are still off, there's a high probability they'll know that something big is about to happen in Changkong City.

Great, it's decided!

Walking along the roadside, Kiana looked at a few thugs who had just gotten off their motorcycles and suddenly surrounded her, letting out a helpless sigh.

"Sigh... I'm really done for."

"Miss, I see you're alone—"

Before the leader of the thugs could finish his lewd remark, Kiana directly uppercutted him and sent him flying.

The other thugs didn't even have time to react before Kiana took them down with a few quick punches and kicks.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry today."

After taking the motorcycle keys from these men, Kiana rode off on the motorcycle right before their eyes.

The Honkai could break out at any moment...

Mei, and Lin Yu-senpai, please be alright.

Changkong City. Hokushin Itto-ryu Dojo.

After narrowly dodging a dangerous blow, Raiden Mei gasped for air as she created distance between herself and Lin Yu.

It had only been a few minutes since they started sparring.

And once Mei began to get serious, the gap between them had indeed narrowed.

In fact, Mei had even managed to suppress Lin Yu initially.

However, this situation didn't last long.

Mei, who thought she could snowball her advantage and secure victory after suppressing her opponent, gradually realized that Lin Yu was still getting stronger.

Lin Yu's reaction speed hadn't changed much, but the problem was that after fighting for a while, Lin Yu had started using Hokushin Itto-ryu techniques.

At first, his movements were very clumsy, but after some time, Lin Yu's techniques became increasingly proficient.

Moreover, Raiden Mei noticed something else during the fight.

Even after Lin Yu became stronger, Raiden Mei could still see many openings in his movements.

But as the fight progressed, she no longer felt like she could actually exploit these openings to break through his defenses.

These openings were real.

However, Lin Yu cleverly used these openings to trick her into attacking at the wrong moments, catching Raiden Mei off guard several times instead.

At this point, Mei finally realized that her competitive spirit as a swordsman had completely awakened within her.

If this continues, I'll be completely stripped of my last chance to win by the ever-improving Lin Yu.

If I want to defeat Lin Yu, then now...!

This time, betting everything on the next strike, Mei felt her body and mind reach their absolute limit.

The key principle of Hokushin Itto-ryu is [Instantaneous Unity of Mind, Breath, and Strength], and during an attack, movements should be executed in one fluid motion.

Mei, who had reached her physical limit, saw Lin Yu's sword movement and, based on this, preemptively predicted his next trajectory.

One strike.

With her body and mind condensed to their absolute limit, Mei used her bamboo sword to directly knock Lin Yu's bamboo sword out of his hand.

However, just as she was about to cheer, Mei suddenly realized that Lin Yu, whose weapon had been knocked away, had no intention of stopping his attack.

Huh? Wait, wasn't Lin Yu doing this to get me fired up????

Seeing the sudden attack from her opponent, Mei, who had just entered her zone, became flustered and exited her hard-earned optimal state.

Then, before Mei could even launch her next attack, Lin Yu punched her in the abdomen, causing her to kneel on the ground in agony.

"Wh... Why..."

"I never said when the fight would end, did I?"

Lin Yu said coldly, looking at Mei, who was clutching her stomach, a faint glint of lightning in her eyes, and looking incredibly wronged.

"In a fight, an opponent doesn't give up just because they've lost their weapon."

"Never let your guard down until the enemy is completely incapacitated."

"Yes..."

After shakily getting to her feet, Mei watched Lin Yu put their bamboo swords back in the cabinet and then asked him cautiously.

"Um... is that it for today? Do we have to continue?"

"That's enough for today."

Lin Yu, having deactivated his Mirror Mind state, took a deep look at Raiden Mei.

"You might still have the stamina to continue, but your focus isn't strong enough to sustain a battle that requires such intense concentration."

"Once this place is cleaned up, I'll give you a ride home on my motorcycle."

"Get some good rest when you get home."

Chapter 31: Nighttime Rush

A few minutes later, Mei, now sitting on the back of the motorcycle, gently wrapped her arms around Lin Yu's waist.

Even though she could have held onto his shoulders to steady herself, the girl didn't hesitate to choose this action, which made her blush.

Lin Yu, with Mei clinging to him, didn't say anything about her gesture. Instead, he directly started the motorcycle.

However, Lin Yu, who appeared so cool and aloof to Raiden Mei, showed a hint of awkwardness on his face as he looked at the Affection value that was still increasing.

[Look! The girl just naturally wrapped her arms around your waist—to anyone watching, you two look like a couple deeply in love, inseparable!]

[This system must admit that as an AI, it does have certain limitations. When it comes to wooing girls, this system is willing to call you the strongest!]
