"Ahhh! You're right! If we don't help Mei, who else will? But Bai Ge, I'll never let you die!"
"Heh~ Don't get too cocky, Kiana."
First update, seeking collections for the new book!
To all my handsome and dazzling readers, everyone line up and look at me. Forest is about to announce something—I'm a hopeless romantic, please bless me with some flowers~
I've been writing since I woke up, and now I'm dead tired. Today's noon update might be a little late, but it definitely won't be missed.
"You're right, Bai Ge. If we don't help Mei, who else will? But remember this, Bai Ge, I'll definitely make sure you're okay!" Kiana said with utmost seriousness, as if making a promise to the young man, or perhaps reminding herself.
It was incredibly dangerous to involve an ordinary person like Bai Ge in Honkai-related events, especially Herrscher-level ones. After all, she could barely protect herself.
However, Kiana understood that judging by Bai Ge's gaze just now, there was no way she could convince him to flee far away until everything was over.
'You used to call me thick-headed, but aren't you just as stubborn, Bai Ge? Hmph~'
Moreover, after spending time together, Bai Ge always gave Kiana a very reliable feeling, even surpassing Siegfried's.
Kiana deeply appreciated and really liked this good friend who was willing to share his lunch with her, cared about her, and even applied medicine to her wounds.
Therefore, the answer was simple.
She would protect it all!
Whether it was Mei, Bai Ge, or this entire Changkong City, she would stake the honor of the Kaslana family and stop the tragedy from happening!
If Cocolia and Otto were here, they would surely mock Kiana. They would mock her ignorance, weakness, and overestimation of her abilities. With her current strength, unable to even defeat a B-class Valkyrie, she dared to dream of protecting everything from a Herrscher-level catastrophe?
It was nothing short of wishful thinking.
However, Bai Ge found Kiana dazzling at this moment. Regardless of whether she possessed power or not, this girl's determination, will, and beliefs were genuine.
Just like in the game, although she was usually silly and unreliable, Kiana Kaslana would never back down at critical moments. She would always be the first to charge forward.
Even if it meant putting herself in danger, she would absolutely not stand idly by!
"Well said, Kiana! Here, take this greatsword. Although its quality is just so-so, it's still much better than those two little pistols in your hand."
"Oh, what about you, Bai Ge?"
"Of course, it's this one~"
Bai Ge dangled the Plasma Shadow Show in his hand, then tilted his head back 45 degrees to look at the sky, thinking.
'Don't worry, Father-in-law Raiden. I'll protect Mei from now on. Thank you for the Plasma Shadow Show you gifted me. It's a four-star weapon after all. I hope your spirit in heaven blesses Mei and me. Amen.'
However, at this very moment.
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a blinding lightning bolt shot up from the distance. Kiana's eyes widened. She could clearly feel the increase in Honkai Energy concentration.
"What? This concentration of Honkai Energy... Bai Ge, this is bad. The Third Honkai is about to begin."
"Huh? Why now of all times? Could it be that something happened to Mei while we were away... Damn it! You bastard Cocolia, I'll never forgive you!"
Given this unexpected turn of events, Bai Ge knew instantly that Cocolia was to blame.
The two of them quickly ran towards the direction of the lightning. Although the Honkai Energy concentration was soaring, it was still far from the minimum requirement of 1000 HW for a Herrscher to be born.
And if it were any other Herrscher, Bai Ge wouldn't be so confident. But for Raiden Mei, for the Herrscher of Thunder, he felt there was still a chance to turn the tide!
Half an hour ago.
While Bai Ge and Kiana were exploring the ME Corp branch, Mei, after finishing school, went straight to the supermarket without a second thought.
If she didn't hurry, she'd miss the discount period.
Since the Raiden family fell into decline, Mei had gone from a pampered young lady who never touched household chores to a capable and virtuous housewife.
Even though her family's assets were frozen, Mei still had a considerable amount of living expenses. However, she still had to be frugal, so she learned how to compete with aunties at the supermarket for discounted ingredients.
"Good thing I came early today. I bought a lot of good ingredients cheaply. I can practice properly when I get back. Tomorrow, I'll make that Divine Land cuisine Bai Ge mentioned."
Picturing the young man's happy and satisfied expression while eating, and the scene of him and Kiana fighting over fried chicken, Mei couldn't help but curve her lips, feeling full of energy.
She really liked those two.
Compared to her friends during her 'Queen Raiden' days, who outwardly liked her but actually only coveted her reputation and family background, these two had taught Mei what true friendship was.
As long as Bai Ge and Kiana were there, Mei didn't feel pain even if she was ostracized by everyone.
Now, her favorite thing was cooking. Seeing the two of them happily eating the bento she made was Raiden Mei's greatest joy.
"Beep beep! Beep beep beep beep beep beep!!" It was getting late.
The passing vehicles on the road showcased the prosperity and congestion of the big city's rush hour, but the incessant honking of horns made Mei frown.
She instinctively put on the earphones hanging around her neck and turned up the music volume. Instantly, the noisy horns disappeared from Mei's world.
"Speaking of which, why have I never heard these songs before? I can't find them online either. Could it be that Bai Ge wrote them all himself?" Ling
Although the world is different now, music, like technology, knows no boundaries. The music Bai Ge brought from Earth to this world is still an excellent art form. Ling
Soon, the beautiful melody occupied the maiden's hearing entirely. Mei's footsteps became lighter, and she began to hum her favorite lyrics.
"A smiling face stained with blood, Your body temperature fading away. Caught in a vortex of noise, In this world of Honkai. On the doomsday when starlight vanishes, Gently I offer my body. Red moonlight shines on the streets of the apocalypse, The songstress sings as if in a lament. Sweet dreams linger in memories, Until the very end of the world!"
The song was titled "Songstress of the Honkai World." Although its melody was tragic and resolute, like a sinner singing a dirge.
The moment Mei first heard it, she felt an electric current surge through her body. She then played it on repeat all night.
By now, she knew all the lyrics by heart.
Second update, I've woken up and am updating! Also, please give me some free flowers!
Leave more comments; I love seeing you all talk in the comment section. It gets lonely when no one talks.
Chapter Nineteen: A Girl's Extreme Jealousy (Seeking Collections for the New Book)
"What a bunch of trash!"
Inside ME Corp's headquarters.
In this futuristic room, several electronic screens floated in mid-air, like something out of a sci-fi movie, showcasing the base's technological level far exceeding that of the outside world.
A tall woman with purple eyes, golden hair, and a voluptuous figure had an displeased expression. Despite her doll-like exquisite features, she was a ruthless individual who would stop at nothing.
This was Cocolia, who Bai Ge had thoroughly noted down in his little black book, planning to "xx and then xx a thousand times" if he ever got the chance. She was the villain.
"You can't even handle this small matter, what use are you to me? Do you want to end up in prison like Raiden Ryoma?"
"We are very sorry, Madam Cocolia!"
"This, this isn't our fault. Recently, two annoying people have appeared around Raiden Mei, preventing us from bullying... dealing with her."
"Yeah, yeah, it's really not that we didn't try our best. Please give us another chance!"
If Bai Ge and the others were here, they would have recognized these persistent girls who targeted Mei in class. They were now kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear, begging for mercy and reporting the situation.
Cocolia frowned, her expression agitated.
That was indeed an unexpected setback. According to her plan, Mei should have already undergone Honkaiization by now.
After all, for a young girl of her age, her father's imprisonment, her family's downfall, and bullying from her entire school—any one of these blows would have been enough to crush her.
The reason Mei's school bullying was so severe was because Cocolia had been secretly fanning the flames. She had bribed these girls, pressuring Mei every few days.
And when Mei's emotions reached the absolute depths of despair, Honkai's will would descend through her robust body as a medium. In the great Honkai that could destroy all of Changkong City, the girl would transform into a Herrscher.
But who would have thought.
Just as Mei's spirit was on the verge of collapse, a young man named Bai Ge appeared and, with all his might, saved the girl who had already fallen into despair.
Then, a girl named Kiana appeared. These two had completely redeemed Raiden Mei.
"..."
Cocolia stared at the screen with a livid expression.
On it was Mei, who had just bought dinner, singing, and happily skipping home to cook.
