Mei: We Can't Keep This Paramecium Around (Continued)

Upon seeing Theresa, she was so moved that she rushed over and hugged the petite and adorable school principal, showering her with kisses, hugs, and lifts.

"Let go, let go! My dignity is about to be completely destroyed!"

"Headmistress Theresa is so cute."

"Waaaaah, Wendy, don't look!"

Theresa was on the verge of tears. Being treated like a child by her niece in front of her former student made her already fragile authority seem to crumble again.

"Hmm? Speaking of which, where did Rita go?"

Bai Ge looked around.

I couldn't find my personal maid.

He was a little surprised, because according to Rita's style, no matter what she was doing, she would definitely put down her work and come to greet him after hearing that he was coming back.

"Rita, she's dead."

"Pfft—! What?!"

Bai Ge spat out a mouthful of chicken soup and immediately choked.

"Just kidding, she's just too tired from sparring with Mei today and is lying in her room right now."

Himeko pointed to the bedroom on the second floor and said.

The red-haired beauty had a complicated expression. Thinking of the training room that had been reduced to ruins, she could only sigh that the love war between jealous young girls was really quite exciting.

Fortunately, I am a mature woman who doesn't fight or compete... although I probably wouldn't be able to win anyway.

Unfortunately, I'm not strong enough.

Fortunately, he had already reached the finish line and was living a very comfortable life every week. Moreover, Bai Ge was strong enough that he could easily handle even if the number of people increased by one or two times.

(But I also need to step up my game. Luckily, I'm no longer bothered by Honkai Energy, so I can try to challenge higher levels... I need to get my rank to S-rank at least!)

Himeko encouraged herself.

Even after reaching the finish line, we must not stop moving forward.

After all, she had to save face. Look at all these young girls, what kind of monsters they were! It felt like the whole dormitory was full of Herrscher, future Herrscher, or future S-Rank Valkyrie.

If I, the oldest in appearance, only have an A grade, wouldn't that be too embarrassing!

"Rita and Mei sparring? You two weren't serious, were you?"

Bai Ge asked with some concern.

A chaotic scene like this is a huge bomb; even the most experienced bomb disposal experts dare not be careless in the slightest.

"How could that be? It was just a friendly sparring match. We really stopped short of each other."

Mei smiled and said, raising her hand to brush aside a section of her long, purplish-black hair, while shaking off the lingering chill from her hands, thinking to herself, "No wonder she's the owner of the refrigerator."

There are always maids on earth who dare to face the might of thunder, and as the Queen, she acknowledges the maids' courage.

However, courage alone is not enough for many things.

The gap in strength between the two sides remains significant.

Mei was in a good mood, thinking about how Rita, who had basically been forced to flee in a sorry state and was on the defensive, was now mostly at her mercy.

But she still had some doubts.

At that time, Mei had already shown Rita enough of the difference in strength. Given that maid was never one to suffer a loss, or rather, she was very calculating, Mei thought that Rita would admit defeat quickly.

But Rita put up a fierce and tenacious fight, battling Mei until she was completely exhausted.

World-weary penguins, doves

(Is she trying to prove her feelings for Bai Ge something? No, it doesn't feel that simple.)

The next second, Mei understood Rita's purpose.

Bai Ge looked worriedly toward the maid's bedroom on the second floor.

"I'm still a little worried about her being this tired. I should go and take care of Rita myself later. She hasn't eaten yet, has she? I'll take her with me."

"..."

Mei's eyes twitched violently, and faint flashes of lightning flickered in her hair.

"So that's what you were planning!"

She deliberately exhausted herself, just to get Bai Ge's attention! This maid is so despicable!

Just as Bai Ge was about to take a dinner upstairs, Mei hurriedly thought of saying that there was no need for him to go and that she should take good care of Rita instead...

"Mei, I... have something I want to tell you... is that alright?"

"Kiana..."

The Kiana gripped its own hand, looking stammering and very nervous.

Mei suddenly had a bad feeling, and at that moment she also missed the opportunity to stop it.

They could only watch as Bai Ge went to the maid's bedroom on the second floor.

"Um~ okay, Kiana, is there something you need?"

"It's not a good place to talk here, let's go outside."

"...Um."

The ominous premonition in Mei's heart grew stronger and stronger. She sincerely prayed that as long as it didn't involve Bai Ge, Kiana could say whatever she wanted.

(I'll make you a ton of delicious food tomorrow, fried chicken, bell pepper curry, whatever you want, so Kiana... don't let me down.)

"Mei, I'm sorry! I think I've fallen for Bai Ge."

"..."

This is so disappointing.

The St. Freya teaching building at night.

The night was dark and the wind was strong, with a cool breeze blowing.

Dark clouds obscured the bright moon and countless Stars, and a chilly wind blew through the two girls' long hair, bringing a slight coolness, but... nothing compared to the chill in Raiden Mei's heart at this moment!

Mei leaned against the wall with one hand and covered her face with the other. The girl felt a chill in her heart. At this moment, she suddenly had an impulse to betray the Honkai faction, no, I mean to return to the Honkai faction.

Slaughter all those sluts in the world who are eyeing Bai Ge! Then lock Bai Ge in a dark room, and the two of them can live a shameless and blissful life together forever.

"Eh~~~~!"

Mei sighed deeply, looking helplessly at Kiana in front of her, thinking to herself, "Why does she have to be this Kiana?"

"Kiana, is it really okay for you to say that to me?"

"Um, I know it's not good, but... I feel like I have to tell you, Mei. I'm sorry."

"Kiana, if I ask you to give up Bai Ge, tell me if you can do it?"

"... probably not."

Kiana imagined it for a moment and then honestly shook her head.

She felt like she really couldn't live without Bai Ge anymore.

The poisoning was too deep, and it was too late.

Bai Ge's gentleness and doting have become an essential part of Kiana Kaslana's life, as indispensable as sunshine and air. She has become accustomed to and dependent on the boy.

"So that's how it is, huh~"

Mei sighed deeply again.

His gaze was incredibly complex as he looked at the white fluffy ball in front of him.

Although Bai Ge is the most important person to Raiden Mei, Kiana also holds a high place in her heart, especially considering their time at the Senba Academy (Raiden Mei's best romance guide).

The only girl besides Bai Ge who offered Mei a helping hand was Kiana, who, like Bai Ge, brought her warmth and salvation.

In Raiden Mei's heart, she is the only person who is important after Bai Ge, and she is her irreplaceable friend!

However...

"Why did it turn out like this? I had someone I liked for the first time, and a friend for life. It should have been a double joy, but it turned out like this."

Mei's eyes gradually became empty and stammering.

"..."

Seeing Mei, who should have been the biggest winner, but ended up looking like a loser, the Kiana Mei uneasy and even wanted to kneel down and kowtow to the purple-haired girl in front of him to express his apology.

But I don't want it to be like this.

But, Mei, your boyfriend is just too amazing!

After a while.

Mei took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision.
