This is so far from despair, it's actually funnier than her. She even looked like she was falling in love for the first time. It would be a miracle if she could still turn into a Herrscher.

"Hmph! I'm giving you one last chance. If you can't make this girl completely despair this time, then you can expect to see news of your company's bankruptcy tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, Madam Cocolia!"

Although Cocolia disdained dealing with a mere girl herself, she didn't want to delay any further. She ordered a few subordinates to accompany them to ensure everything went smoothly.

After the others left in panic, Cocolia turned her gaze back to Mei on the large screen.

Detailed information about the girl was displayed on it. Anyone who saw it would immediately understand that she was a kind-hearted girl.

But...

So what?

This wasn't a beautiful world.

"Raiden Mei, I know this is unfair to you, but to defeat Honkai, to rescue my daughter, you must sacrifice yourself for the greater good."

This world was not lacking in kind-hearted girls, but if sacrificing one good girl could lead to capturing a Herrscher and rescuing her daughter lost in the Sea of Quantum, Cocolia would not hesitate for a moment.

As Mei was walking home, she was suddenly approached by a black van. Before the girl could react, she was bagged and taken away.

When Mei saw the light again, she realized she had been taken to some abandoned building.

"Raiden Mei, we meet again."

"It's you again. You've even resorted to kidnapping this time. Aren't you afraid of going to jail?"

Mei looked at the girl in front of her with surprise.

This was the 'good friend' who had been leading the bullying against her since her father's imprisonment. While she had expected this person wouldn't give up, Mei truly didn't expect her to go as far as kidnapping.

"Haha! Jail! You should worry about yourself. No one can save you now. Neither Bai Ge nor Kiana are here, and you're alone again. Ra! Den! Mei! Miss!"

It was a gaze like that of a predator.

Mixed with abnormal excitement and pleasure.

The girl stared fanatically at Mei, who was tied to a chair and unable to move, completely lost in a kind of twisted happiness.

Mei suddenly realized that this former 'good friend' was the most extreme among those who bullied her.

Before the Raiden family fell into decline, she was practically Mei's superfan, following her everywhere and always wearing a smile.

But after the Raiden family's downfall, she immediately transformed into the most excessive bully, uniting the entire class to ostracize and torment Mei relentlessly.

As for why she did it...

"Why are you so lucky? Why does fate favor you so much, Raiden Mei? Why can't you just die! Why can't I receive such good fortune like you!"

Because of excessive jealousy!

The girl's heavily made-up face was contorted.

Her eyes were filled with jealousy, and it wasn't just simple jealousy; it was a consuming envy that made her want to replace Mei.

Although Mei had never done anything wrong to her.

She was jealous of Mei's unattainable background.

She was jealous of Mei's beauty, which she could never match.

She was jealous of Mei's perfect personality and academic achievements.

Some people are just born that way, unable to stand anyone being better than them, and she was a prime example.

So when the Raiden family lost power, this girl was ecstatic, even before Cocolia found her, she had already started the school bullying.

Every time she saw the usually proud Queen Raiden trembling and crying under her torment, the girl felt a deep sense of pleasure.

However...

"Why are you still being helped even after you've fallen so low! Are Bai Ge and that Kiana blind! What's so good about being friends with you!"

Just when she thought she had crushed this high-and-mighty figure under her feet.

Reality told her that even in her fall, Raiden Mei was still not someone of her caliber.

When everyone else had abandoned Mei, Bai Ge and Kiana, these two individuals who always stood out wherever they went, came to the girl's side.

This made her even more consumed by jealousy.

She was jealous that Mei, despite having hit rock bottom, seemed to have been reborn, finding true friendship and gaining Bai Ge and Kiana as friends.

Although Kiana's grades were poor and she seemed a bit foolish, she was more special than anyone. Not only did she possess a beauty worthy of the title 'Kiana/Moon Goddess,' but she was fundamentally different from mortals like herself.

As for Bai Ge... that was what she was most jealous of Mei for! That perfectly handsome and charming young man with a gentle and dashing personality and a wealthy background, who was only gentle towards Raiden Mei.

He was even willing to go against the entire school for her alone!

This girl would never forget the day Bai Ge put his arm around Mei's shoulder and declared to the whole class that she was his girlfriend.

At that moment, she truly wished she could kill Mei and take her place!

Just the daughter of a sinner, what right do you, Raiden Mei, have to be blessed by so many good things! Group

Third update, seeking flowers and recommendation tickets. Start

Speaking of which, please leave more comments~ Everyone, please speak up more in the comment section, otherwise I'll be lonely to death. Suspicion

(Can't break free...) Si

Mei tried a few times but to no avail. Her expression was grim, but she was no longer the crybaby from a month ago who would only cry when bullied. Dismiss

"I don't know what your purpose is, but this is meaningless. Even if you tie me up, you won't get any ransom." Stroll

"...Raiden Mei, what are your hands touching? Is it this phone?" The girl smiled and threw Mei's phone to the ground. Period

Although she wasn't professional at kidnapping, Cocolia's subordinates mostly had dirty hands and were very skilled at it. Start

Mei, who had intended to secretly call for help using her phone, looked grim and nervously bit her lower lip. Ridge

"You don't think Bai Ge and the others will come to save you, do you? Haha, don't worry, they won't be able to find us. Speaking of which... you guys are actually fake lovers, right?"

"!!!"

It was precisely because of her twisted jealousy towards Mei that this girl observed her most meticulously. As a result, she noticed their pretense of being a couple.

"This expression suggests I'm right, but... it seems like there's more to it. If I'm not mistaken, although Bai Ge hasn't fallen for you, our young lady Raiden Mei has fallen for him, hasn't she?"

"Hahaha, how laughable! How does it feel? Raiden Mei, who has been capable of everything since childhood, is encountering this kind of unrequited feeling for the first time?"

"You don't think you're the only special one, do you? Think back carefully, besides yourself, didn't Bai Ge treat another person very well too?"

"That's your other companion, Kiana Kaslana. You like Bai Ge, but perhaps the person he likes is your other friend?"

The girl said this with manic laughter. She wasn't just talking nonsense. After all, Bai Ge's concern and protection for Mei could be explained by the boy's sympathy for her tragic experiences.

But his 'doting' towards Kiana was baffling. That inexplicable, seemingly innate affection made it seem to outsiders as if Bai Ge had fallen for Kiana.

At these words, Mei immediately clenched her small fists.

The girl's face lit up with joy. She wanted to sow discord among the three of them. No one knew better than her how fragile friendship could be.

A little suspicion and jealousy were enough to destroy it completely. However...

"...What you said, of course I know." Mei actually admitted it herself.

This reaction made the girl stunned.

"What?"

"Whether it's Bai Ge or Kiana, they are both people who shine like the sun. I'm just someone lucky enough to have a better upbringing and be admired. Once I lose that halo, I'll be just like this, as ordinary as anyone else."

Precisely because she was close friends with the two, Mei understood this perfectly.

Bai Ge and Kiana were both very special people. Compared to them, the 'current' Raiden Mei seemed so ordinary and common.

"I... I might have indeed fallen for Bai Ge, and it might be just as you said, that he's not interested in me and only treats me well out of pity. Perhaps Bai Ge likes Kiana."

Mei took a deep breath. There was no wavering or any negative emotions in her eyes.

"But, I won't give up!"

This was the first time in Mei's life she had such feelings for someone of the opposite sex. The boy's appearance flashed in her mind. Perhaps it was impossible not to fall for Bai Ge.

That young man had become a warm light shining into her heart during Mei's darkest moments. He was like a fated encounter, the Prince Charming Mei had met.

"I might fail, I might be rejected, but I won't give up. I am no longer the crybaby Raiden Mei who lets you bully me. Kiana and Bai Ge have both taught me important lessons."

"Even complaining about this world is useless, but if it's for important companions, I will face everything bravely! I will never betray my friendship with them!"

Mei said with a determined expression.

She had plenty of time. Perhaps Bai Ge didn't have romantic feelings for her now, but Mei believed that with time, there would eventually be an opportunity.

Besides, didn't the books say that to capture a man's heart, you first need to capture his stomach? She seemed to have already achieved that.

"You! You! What are you talking about? Friendship? What kind of thing is that in this world!"
