Mei: Of Course I Choose to Forgive Him

"... Seele, why do you think ducks can fly?"

"Huh? Because they have wings?"

"No! It's because the hunter didn't seize the opportunity that the duck that should have been in his mouth flew away. Bronya swears that she will never miss another chance!"

"Bronya, with a stern face, spoke with great air of authority, though he looked like a defeated general."

But it doesn't matter much! Because if this were a war, the person who lost the most round wouldn't be her, but rather Raiden Mei over there.

"The color of Mei- neechan's hat today is so eco-friendly."

"Did Mei wear a hat? I didn't see it."

"Idiot Kiana, that's a hat only smart people can see. Let's go, the dorms ahead are going to be dangerous, we'd better get out of here quickly."

A person's true nature is revealed in critical moments, and Bronya has proven herself to be a loyal and good girl through her actions.

In such a critical moment, she did not abandon her companions and run away alone. Instead, she held Kiana's hand with her left hand and Seele's hand with her right hand, and together they ran towards the teaching building/safe zone.

Meanwhile, Bronya's clever mind was racing, and the girl's eyes were growing brighter and brighter.

(Wait, looking at this from another angle, it's not entirely a loss; rather, it's a great opportunity!)

(Himeko's successful rise to power has disrupted the balance; Mei's era of dominance is over, and now it's Bronya's chance to make a formal comeback.)

Mei has lost her deer, and the whole world is chasing after her.

After all, the first person to sneak out always bears the most risk, while the second and third people will bear much less risk and pressure.

Moreover, once Mei accepts Himeko, it means that she also has the opportunity to be accepted.

So all I have to do is wait until things calm down, then I can strike immediately and take Bai Ge down, and then I can successfully take over!

"I see it! Bronya's victory route!"

Thinking this, the corners of the Bronya's lips curled up, and its jogging steps were so light that it seemed as if it was about to fly into the sky.

Meanwhile, in the dormitory...

Bai Ge, Mei, Himeko stood in an equilateral triangle, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.

"I'm sorry, Mei, it's all my fault. I was drunk last night... Okay, I did it to Bai Ge my own initiative."

"Himeko, you don't need to make excuses for me."

Bai Ge shook his head, stopping Himeko who wanted to take the blame upon herself. He stood in front of Mei without flinching, looking directly into the girl's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mei. I couldn't control myself."

"... Bai Ge".

"Um?"

Surprisingly, Mei's eyes showed no anger, disappointment, or sadness. She walked up to Bai Ge, hooked her arm around the boy's neck, and pulled him to her lips.

Mei: "Kiss me, love me."

Bai Ge: "... Yes, my princess."

"Bai Ge, kiss me, love me."

"Yes, my Princess Mei."

After that, the two of them went wild from day to night.

The Valkyrie dormitory's first floor, which had already been demolished last night, has now become a scene of chaos once again, and this time it's a fierce battle between two Herrscher!

At Mei's request to "show no mercy," they fought a fierce and chaotic battle.

Finally, the former nestled in the latter's arms and collapsed onto the only remaining intact sofa.

Incidentally, Himeko is already numb, because this is a level of brutality that a mere A-Rank Valkyrie cannot withstand.

"I'm sorry, Mei."

"... Why is Bai Ge apologizing? Is it because of Himeko, or something else?"

"Both."

Bai Ge tenderly stroked the girl's hair in his arms and uttered a profound apology that he had never expressed in either his past or present life.

"I'm sorry I couldn't control myself, and I'm even more sorry that I intended to take responsibility for Himeko."

"Although I know this is unfair to Mei, I don't intend to pretend that what happened last night never happened. Even if Mei doesn't forgive me, I won't give up, so... all I can do is apologize to you."

Bai Ge chuckled self-deprecatingly.

He once told Cocolia and Dr. Magi that if you make a mistake, you have to pay the price, you have to repent, and you have to make amends.

However, now it was his turn to make a mistake. Bai Ge realized that all he could do seemed to be apologize to the girl in front of him.

He understands that he has made an unacceptable mistake and is willing to take responsibility for it, but he has no intention of making amends.

Bai Ge has no intention of giving up on Himeko.

But this is unfair to Mei.

Upon hearing his words, Mei gripped Bai Ge's clothes tightly with her fingers. Her bangs obscured her eyes, so her expression was not visible. She asked in a trembling voice.

"Bai Ge, are you choosing Himeko and not me anymore?"

"How could that be? I just feel so sorry for Mei."

"So, you still want me, right?"

"... Mei, you are my first love in this world, I will never abandon you, never."

Bai Ge raised his hand and cupped Mei's cheeks, looking directly into her purple eyes and speaking earnestly. In the boy's golden eyes, there was only sincere apology and affection; he simply didn't know how to make amends to this girl.

"!!!"

After confirming that she hadn't been dumped.

Mei's tears fell instantly.

She hugged the boy in front of her tightly, and cried out as if she was afraid that Bai Ge would abandon her.

It's a strange situation. Even though Bai Ge did something wrong, Mei is the one crying and scared.

"That's great, sob sob, Bai Ge, you didn't abandon me."

"How could I not want you, Mei?"

"But I can't do anything..."

Mei said with a deep sense of helplessness.

Bai Ge and Raiden Mei are indeed a loving couple, but... although the former sees them as equals, the latter unconsciously lowers her own status.

Mei believes that there is no equality between her and Bai Ge.

Because I was someone who was unilaterally saved by the boy.

Bai Ge became a warm light shining into Mei's heart during the darkest time of her life. After that, he repeatedly protected her, helped her, and redeemed her.

This person has already done so much for himself.

But Mei couldn't do much for him.

This sense of indebtedness made her uneasy. Mei wanted to do something for this person, just like Bai Ge had done for her in the past. She also wanted to do something for this person.

But apart from lending Honkai Energy to Bai Ge that one time, Mei didn't help him at all.

With this sense of indebtedness unmet, what happened to Himeko last night occurred. At that moment, Mei's first reaction was fear.

She was afraid Bai Ge would break up with her.

She was afraid that her prince would abandon her.

Ultimately, Raiden Mei is just a young girl experiencing love for the first time.

This first love was undoubtedly the first and last love in her life. Bai Ge was far more important to her than anyone else, not even herself.

If Bai Ge didn't want her... Mei felt like she might as well just die.

"Bai Ge, you protected me that day. From the moment you stood in front of me, my fate was changed by you. Bai Ge, you are the most important person in my life, so... don't leave me, Bai Ge."

"Silly girl, I should be the one saying that. I'm the one who's worried you'll break up with me. I... I can't live without you, Mei, for a long time now."

After learning Mei's true feelings, Bai Ge hugged her even tighter, and couldn't help but feel how lucky he was to have found a girl who was so devoted to him.

Then the two of them hugged each other tightly.

They liked each other very much.

I like someone so much that I can forgive all the mistakes they make.

"Mei, I love you."

"Bai Ge, me too."

The two, their fingers intertwined, reaffirmed their feelings for each other and embraced and kissed under the golden sunset... leaving the single people outside the door utterly astonished.
