Her Hero, In Honkai Impact Section 6

The young man before him was so sincere and pure, as spotless as his snow-white hair.

Bai Ge was extremely happy at the moment.

It was because he had forged a bond with the living Raiden Mei, not some virtual game data, but a flesh-and-blood, genuine Raiden Mei.

He was so happy he felt like cheering, desperately wanting to show off to his friends in his past life's Flame Chasers.

"Ah, right, suddenly thought of something good!"

A flash of inspiration struck his mind, and Bai Ge immediately turned to the purple-haired girl before him and made a suggestion.

"Mei, I have an idea. I can't say it will completely change your current situation and stop you from being bullied, but it will at least make things many times better than they are now. Want to try it?"

"Really? Please tell me!"

"Don't get happy too soon. In some aspects, you might have to make a small sacrifice. Anyway, just listen first."

So Bai Ge explained the idea that had just flashed through his mind. After hearing it, Raiden Mei's eyes widened, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

It was indeed a simple and effective method.

But it also felt a bit... unconventional.

For Mei, who had received strict upbringing since childhood, possessed a gentle and conservative personality, and was the epitome of a Yamato Nadeshiko, this was an idea she would never have considered in the past.

However, the current Raiden Mei was different. She was at the most desperate, weakest, most helpless moment of her life, when she could do nothing. She was lonely, isolated, powerless, exhausted in body and mind, and deeply wounded.

It was also the moment she most desperately craved someone to save her.

Perhaps it was the so-called "bridge effect" that made Bai Ge's favorability in Mei's heart soar a bit too high, but the young man before her had undoubtedly saved her twice.

In this academy where no one was willing to help her, and everyone targeted and hurt her, only Bai Ge had stepped forward twice to protect Raiden Mei.

Perhaps because of this, Mei seemed to instinctively rely on Bai Ge, who gave her warmth.

And facing the method Bai Ge proposed to help her, although it was a bit unconventional, it was a plan with purely good intentions, so she naturally couldn't refuse.

"But Bai Ge, is this really okay? I mean... if we do this, you'll be ostracized by everyone because of me too."

Kind-hearted Mei said worriedly.

"It's fine, it's fine~ I'm not interested in them anyway. And if it's you, Mei, then I'm the one getting the better deal, no matter how you look at it," Bai Ge waved his hand, indicating it didn't matter at all.

"...Thank you. Uh, I'm sorry, right now I can only say these two words to you. I will definitely remember this kindness and repay you in the future."

"Mei, you're just too serious, but that's also your strength. As for repayment, can you prepare lunch for me starting tomorrow? Yesterday's bento was delicious, and I want to eat it again."

"Please, please leave it to me!"

Mei immediately agreed.

Perhaps a mere lunch seemed insignificant compared to the help Bai Ge had given her, but she was also happy that she could do something.

Looking at her like this, Bai Ge blinked, then rested his chin on his hand and smiled.

"Mei, you just smiled!"

"Eh?"

"As expected, girls should smile like this. Especially beautiful girls like you. Your melancholic and pitiful appearance earlier was nice, but this is definitely better."

He almost wanted to take out his phone and take a picture.

"...Did I, smile?"

Mei subconsciously touched her face.

She hadn't smiled in so long since her father was imprisoned, but at this moment, because of the young man before her, Raiden Mei's smile bloomed once more.

The girl's scarred heart was also healed a little by him.

"Alright, since we've decided to do this, let's not delay and act quickly!"

"Uh, wait, please let me prepare myself mentally."

"You don't need that kind of preparation. Once you've decided something, don't hesitate anymore. If we don't hurry, class will start."

Taking Mei's small hand, Bai Ge dashed towards the classroom.

As Mei was pulled along by him, she felt her heart pounding rapidly. She thought it was probably just because she was running, and not for any other reason.

By the time the two finally reached the classroom, the afternoon class bell had long since rung.

"Now, let's begin class. Uh, where are Bai Ge and Raiden Mei..."

CRASH!!!

Before the teacher at the podium could finish speaking, the classroom door was yanked open with tremendous force, startling everyone in the class. A few people who were slacking off even dropped their phones.

"Teacher, sorry, we're late!"

"Ha~ ha~, Bai Ge, this is too much..."

Showing no sign of embarrassment at all, Bai Ge walked onto the podium with his head held high. Raiden Mei behind him was panting with a flushed face, her hairstyle even disheveled.

All eyes turned to them, everyone imagining what the two of them might have done during their lunch break.

The boys, in particular, cast envious glances their way.

Even though the Raiden family had fallen on hard times and Miss Mei no longer held her former status, she was still the most beautiful girl in the entire school. Had she already been won over this very afternoon?

The next second, Bai Ge placed his hands on the podium.

"Ahem, I apologize for interrupting class, but right now... all eyes on me! I have an announcement to make!"

Chapter Nine: Bai Ge: I Announce, Mei is My Girlfriend! (New book seeking collections)

"Ahem, I apologize for interrupting class, but right now... all eyes on me! I have an announcement to make!!" Bai Ge said with powerful conviction.

The confidence and openness radiating from him convinced everyone that he must be socially awkward.

A social terrorist!

But before they could adjust their mindset to watch the show, Bai Ge's declaration stunned everyone.

He then threw an arm around the sinner's daughter's shoulder, pulling Raiden Mei into his embrace.

"From this moment on, Raiden Mei is my girlfriend, Bai Ge. I warn all of you students, no, I warn everyone in this school, not to speak ill of her or bully her! Otherwise, I will make that person pay!"

"￥%@*￥#"

The teacher on the podium was completely stunned, looking bewildered as if asking, "Who am I, where am I, and what are you doing, Bai Ge?"

If it were a teacher at another school, they would have started scolding him by now. However, at Senba Academy, a school for the wealthy, the teachers were afraid to offend the students.

Therefore, Bai Ge was allowed to announce his intentions successfully. Mei, in his arms, had a flushed face, her eyes spinning like dizzy spirals.

However, it wasn't over yet.

"And to those few girls over there, uh, what were their names... never mind, it's not important. Anyway, you few, hurry up and come up here to apologize! It's unforgivable that you, as classmates, would do something so excessive!"

"You, you, and you! Don't hide. If you did something, you have to bear the consequences. Don't force me to drag you up here and hold your heads down to apologize."

Bai Ge casually picked up the teacher's ruler and pointed it at the few girls below who were trying to shrink their presence. It was these girls who had stolen Mei's clothes.

By this point, the situation had escalated to a point where even the teacher couldn't stop it.

Bai Ge had completely blown things out of proportion, and in the end, those few girls could only apologize to Mei under everyone's watchful eyes.

Their expressions were particularly telling, as if they had just eaten something incredibly unpleasant.

After finishing these matters, Bai Ge satisfiedly gave Mei a thumbs-up. Mei, for her part, didn't know what to say, only feeling that the heart beneath her heaving chest was beating a little too fast.

At that moment, from her perspective, the young man before her seemed to be shining.

After school, upon returning to her home.

Although most of the Raiden family's assets had been frozen, the house Mei lived in remained intact. Even though she could no longer live a life free from financial worries, living an ordinary life was still not a problem.

After all, although Raiden Ryoma had been imprisoned for his crimes, he was, in any case, a former executive of Anti-Entropy and a friend of the former Schicksal knight Siegfried and the Herrscher of Reason, Welt Yang.

It was the existence of these individuals that prevented Cocolia from pushing things too far. Otherwise, Mei wouldn't even have a house to live in; she'd likely be sleeping in parks every now and then, just like that Kiana who was always running around.

"..."

Mei didn't know how she had gotten home.

She had been in a daze for the entire afternoon, not remembering anything that was taught in class. Her mind was filled with the image of a certain white-haired young man.

Mei's relaxed body sank into the bed. She hugged her pillow, burying her face in it, her ears burning red.

"Bai Ge... classmate..."

She recalled the solution Bai Ge had proposed in the girls' changing room.

Bai Ge: "If I announce to everyone that Mei is my girlfriend, then perhaps not so many people will dare to bully you. After all, most so-called school bullying happens because the victim is alone, and no one around cares."
