You Have a New Job (Continued)
Becoming Kiana's friend, becoming Valkyrie, and even having a bomb implanted in her heart—all these things were pushed along by others, and she just drifted along with the tide until she arrived at St. Freya.
Such Raiden Mei would naturally be extremely terrified of the power that could destroy Changkong City, and would try to avoid it at all costs.
"But I need to give Anqi an explanation, I need to give Changkong City an explanation."
Even someone as passive and even weak as Raiden Mei can be changed.
Anqi's existence reminded her of the responsibilities she bore.
Delta's actions in calming the turmoil in the East China Sea and protecting countless people along its coast proved that the power of Herrscher can also be used for protection.
Welt Yang, through his words and actions, taught her that overcoming the Herrscher's instincts meant finding the love in one's heart.
All of this destined her to come here one day, just as she did in her original timeline.
"If you keep going forward, you'll never be able to turn back."
"No, Kiana is waiting for me, Anqi is waiting for me, and everyone else... I want to get through this, instead of destroying everything like Changkong City did."
"Is this meaningful? Is it worth it?"
"I had no choice, just like Anqi, she had no choice either."
Raiden Mei still didn't know how to face Anqi when she learned the truth, nor could she imagine what the situation would be like. But she knew that a weak and irresponsible version of herself was incapable of protecting Anqi, and even less qualified to face Anqi.
Before that, the thing she could do, the thing she had to do, was to first transform this destructive power into a protective one.
"You... you really want to do this?"
"I have made up my mind."
Raiden Mei smiled, wiping away her tears, the light released from her tears illuminating the dark world of her heart.
What happened next was exactly the same as what happened in another timeline.
Raiden Mei is the perfect candidate for the Herrscher of Thunder. Unlike Wendy, who will fall into darkness, unlike Kiana, who will struggle against Sirin's lingering resentment, and unlike Bronya and Fu Hua, whose paths have been far more complex, when she decides to take this step, she becomes the perfect Herrscher of Thunder.
Raiden Mei: Help me, my other self!
Herrscher Persona: I really can't do anything with you.
Then, without a sound, Raiden Mei transformed.
How could you?
"I just felt there was no need to publicize it. No matter what, I am the Raiden Mei that everyone knows, that's all."
Raiden Mei smiled gently, like a plum blossom that had conquered the cold winter night, beautiful and resilient.
Himeko stared blankly at her student for a long time, then, as if relieved of a great burden, sighed and smiled:
"You've suddenly grown up, Mei."
There's a saying that goes, "Growth can sometimes happen in the blink of an eye."
The two gazed at each other with deep emotion, their eyes exchanging tender glances.
Kiana, however, grasped another key point.
I'm a girl, Mei is a girl too! I'm Herrscher, Mei is Herrscher too! How come we're such a perfect match?
Can others do it?. jpg
Kiana cupped her face in her hands, her thoughts wandering, but she chuckled to herself, convinced there was nothing wrong with it.
"Hehehe~~"
Personal leave
My family member got into trouble, and I had to go to the police station to bail them out. It was a lot of running around and it didn't end until midnight. I just got home, so I can't write anymore right now. I'll finish this this weekend. I'm exhausted right now. Sorry, goodnight.
