Story Role / Major Arcs

Transfer to Ryuseki's Class

Meisha transfers into Ryuseki's class, introduces herself as Inoi Meisa, and chooses the empty seat beside him that Kikka You had occupied. She returns the notebook he dropped that morning, having read its contents. 18 19

Her first day establishes her compassionate nature: she encourages Xu Haoran to stand in class, helping the shy girl make visible progress against her Teacherphobia. 19

Developing Relationship with Ryuseki

Meisha and Ryuseki begin walking to and from school together every day. She gives him a scarf she knitted herself and offers to visit Kikka You's grave with him after learning about his unresolved grief. 20

She makes her feelings increasingly clear, including kissing Ryuseki as punishment for a dare. Ryuseki gradually realizes that his attraction to her is love, though he initially feels guilty because of Kikka You. 20 21

At Ryuseki's home, Meisha encourages him to protect the people he cares about rather than merely talk about it. Soon afterward, Ryuseki confesses to her in a park; they share their first kiss as unexpected snow begins to fall. 26 27

Conflicts Surrounding Ryuseki and His Friends

Meisha accompanies Ryuseki, Lin Yingbin, and Ryuu Mufei to the abandoned airport for Ryuseki's duel with Slumber. Though she opposes the duel, she attends because she fears Ryuseki may be harmed. 30 31

When Ryuseki enters a dangerous state during the fight, she attempts to stop him despite being unable to physically intervene. Lin Yingbin knocks her unconscious to keep her away from Ryuseki's burning body. 32

Meisha later arrives during the battle against Lin Yingbin's alternate personality. She escapes at Ryuseki's warning, but Ryuu Mufei is severely wounded while shielding her from Lin Yingbin's attack. 41

Hospital and Ryuu Mufei's Abduction

At the hospital, Meisha supports Ryuseki as they await news of Lin Yingbin and Ryuu Mufei's surgeries. She shares his concern for their friends and tries to calm him when his fear of losing more people overwhelms him. 42

After Zhi abducts Ryuu Mufei, Meisha helps Ryuseki contact Kouhi and responds immediately to the crisis. 48
