The Honkai Eruption Begins: The Diva of the Honkai World / A Girl's Twisted, Extreme Jealousy
"...Aaaah! You're right! If we don't help Mei, who else will? But Bai Ge, I definitely won't let you die either!"
"Hehe~ Don't get too cocky, little Kiana."
First update. Please bookmark the new book!

Honkai Erupts, Diva of the Honkai World (Please Bookmark the New Book)
"You're right, Bai Ge. If we don't help Mei, who else will? But remember this, Bai Ge: I definitely won't let anything happen to you!"
Kiana spoke with utmost seriousness, as though making a promise to the boy—and reminding herself at the same time.
It was incredibly dangerous to involve an ordinary person like Bai Ge in Honkai-related affairs, especially an event on the Herrscher level. After all, he would have trouble even protecting himself.
But Kiana understood now that, judging from Bai Ge's expression just now, there was no way she could persuade him to run far away before everything was over.
You used to call me stubborn, but aren't you just as stubborn, Bai Ge? Hmph~
And after spending this time together, Bai Ge had always made Kiana feel incredibly dependable. He had even started to surpass Siegfried in that regard.
Kiana truly approved of—and absolutely adored—this good friend who shared lunch with her, cared about her, and applied medicine to her wounds.
So the answer was simple.
She would protect them all!
Whether it was Mei, Bai Ge, or all of Changkong City, she would stake the honor of the Kaslana family on stopping this tragedy!
If Cocolia and Otto were here, they would surely laugh at Kiana—laugh at her ignorance, weakness, and overestimation of herself. With strength that could not even defeat a B-rank Valkyrie, she wanted to protect everything from a Herrscher-level catastrophe?
It was nothing but a fool's dream.
Yet Bai Ge thought Kiana looked dazzling at that moment. Whether she possessed strength or not, the girl's determination, will, and convictions were all genuine.
Just like in the game, she might normally be silly and unreliable, but when it mattered most, Kiana Kaslana would never run away. She would always be the first to charge forward.
Even if it put her in danger, she would never stand by and watch!
"Well said, Kiana! Take this greatsword. Its quality is nothing special, but it's still much stronger than those two little pistols you've got."
"Ooh, then what about you, Bai Ge?"
"Of course, I'll use this~"
Bai Ge waved the Plasma Shadow Show in his hand, then looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle and thought to himself.
Father-in-law Ryoma, rest assured. I'll protect Mei from now on. Thanks for the Plasma Shadow Show you gave me. It's a four-star weapon, at least. And I hope your spirit in heaven will bless Mei and me. Ai Sect.
But at that moment—
Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and a blinding bolt of lightning shot into the heavens in the distance. Kiana's eyes widened as she clearly sensed the rising concentration of Honkai Energy.
"How can this be? Honkai Energy at this concentration... Bai Ge, this is bad. The Third Honkai is about to begin."
"Huh? Why now of all times? Could something have happened to Mei while we were gone... Damn it! Cocolia, you bastard! Killing you a thousand times in the future still wouldn't be enough!"
With something like this happening, Bai Ge did not need to think to know that Cocolia was behind it.
The two immediately sprinted toward the lightning. Although the concentration of Honkai Energy was rapidly rising, it had not yet reached the minimum threshold of 1000 HW required for a Herrscher to be born.
And while Bai Ge truly had no confidence if it were any other Herrscher, for Raiden Mei—for the Herrscher of Thunder—he felt there was still a chance to turn things around!
Half an hour earlier.
While Bai Ge and Kiana were exploring an ME Corp branch, the cooking housewife had headed straight for the supermarket after school without a word.
If she did not hurry, she would miss the discount period.

Ever since the Raiden family had fallen from grace, Mei had gone from a sheltered young heiress who had never lifted a finger to a virtuous housewife capable of handling every chore.
Although Mei still had a fair amount of living expenses after her family assets were frozen, she still had to budget carefully. So, she had learned how to fight middle-aged women for discounted ingredients at the supermarket.
"Good thing I came early today. I got lots of nice ingredients for cheap. I can go home and practice properly now. Tomorrow, I'll make the Shenzhou cuisine Bai Ge mentioned."
Thinking of the boy's happy, satisfied expression while eating—and how he and Kiana fought over fried chicken—Mei could not help curling her lips into a smile, filled with motivation.
She really liked those two.
Compared to when she had still been the "Queen Raiden," surrounded by friends who claimed to like her but 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 would not feel hurt even if everyone else rejected her.
Her favorite thing now was cooking. Watching those two happily eat the lunches she made was Raiden Mei's greatest joy.
"Beep beep! Beep beep beep beep!!"
It was already getting late.
The cars coming and going on the streets displayed the prosperity and congestion of rush hour in a major city. But the ceaseless, noisy honking made Mei furrow her brows.
Subconsciously, she put on the headphones around her neck and turned up the music. At once, the noisy horns vanished from Mei's world.
"Come to think of it, why have I never heard these songs before? I can't even find them online. Did Bai Ge write all of them himself?"
Although the world was different now, music had nothing to do with technology and knew no boundaries. The music Bai Ge had brought from Blue Star was still exceptional art in this world.
Before long, the beautiful melody filled the girl's hearing. Mei's steps became lighter, and she softly sang the lyrics she loved.
"A sorrowful smile stained by blood
Your warmth slipping away
Swept into a vortex of noise
Trapped within this Honkai world
At the end of days, when starlight fades
I gently offer up my body
Red moonlight shines upon the streets of the apocalypse
The diva sings as though crying out in grief
Sweet dreams remain within my memories
Until the world reaches its end~!"
The song was called "Diva of the Honkai World." Its melody was tragic and resolute, like a sinner singing a requiem.
The instant Mei first heard it, she felt an electric current course through her entire body. After that, she had played it on repeat for an entire night.
By now, she could sing it perfectly.
Second update! I woke up, so here's the update! Also, please send some free flowers!
Leave more comments too. I love seeing you all talk in the comments section. When nobody talks, I get lonely.

"What a bunch of useless trash!"
Inside ME Corp's headquarters.
In this futuristic room, several electronic screens floated in midair, like something out of a science fiction film, displaying technological standards far beyond the outside world.
A tall, curvaceous woman with golden hair and violet eyes wore an irritated expression. Though she possessed delicate doll-like features, she was a ruthless woman willing to use any means necessary.
She was Cocolia, the villain Bai Ge had thoroughly written into his little notebook, planning to xx before xx-ing her hundreds or thousands of times once he got the chance.
"You can't even handle such a trivial matter. What use are you? Or do you want to end up in prison like Raiden Ryoma?"
"We're terribly sorry, Lady Cocolia!"
"Th-this isn't our fault! Two troublesome people have recently appeared around Raiden Mei, so we never had a chance to bully... deal with her."
"Y-yes! It's really not that we didn't try. Please give us another chance!"
If Bai Ge and the others had been there, they would have recognized them. They were the girls from class who had relentlessly targeted Mei, and they were now kneeling on the floor in terror, begging for forgiveness while tattling.
Cocolia frowned, her expression impatient.
That truly had been an unexpected mistake. According to her original plan, Mei should have already become a Herrscher by now.
After all, for a little girl that age, her father being imprisoned, her family falling into ruin, and the entire school bullying her—each of those blows alone could have been enough to break her.
The reason Mei's school bullying had been so severe was because Cocolia had secretly fanned the flames. She had bribed these girls and had them pressure Mei every few days.
Once Mei's emotions fell into absolute despair, with the Conquest Gem within her body as a medium, the Will of Honkai would descend. Amid a Great Honkai capable of destroying all of Changkong City, the girl would transform into a Herrscher.
But who could have expected it?
Just when Mei's mind had been on the verge of collapse, a boy named Bai Ge appeared and forcibly pulled the already despairing girl back.
Then a girl named Kiana appeared, and together, the two of them completely saved Raiden Mei.
"..."
Cocolia stared at the screen with a dark expression.
It showed Mei, who had just bought dinner, singing as she skipped home to cook.
