He was very unstable emotionally. Even though he had already threatened this white-haired girl, she kept laughing. It was clear she didn't take him seriously or respect him at all. The fierce glint in his deep purple eyes intensified. He had to teach this young man with prematurely graying hair a lesson. Under the cover of night, his gaze swept over the white-haired girl before him. This girl didn't seem very intelligent, so he'd start with her.
His hand, which had been on the girl's neck, suddenly squeezed downwards. In the darkness, a wicked smile spread across the blond boy's lips. Laugh, keep laughing.
Like a goose with its neck squeezed, Kiana's cheerful laughter abruptly stopped. The girl looked at the claws on her chest in disbelief. The scene reflected in her lake-blue eyes, Kiana's mind went blank. What's going on, where is this, what happened, who am I?
Well, it's good I didn't keep laughing, or I probably would have ended up like Kiana.
Watching everything unfold beside her, Mei's first thought was this. I really shouldn't be thinking this. I should be figuring out how to help Kiana.
"Can you talk properly now?"
Maintaining his posture, he looked at the two girls. Instinctively, he chose the girl with the long, dark hair, as she seemed a bit smarter than the white-haired one. She had finally quieted down, and now he could ask what he wanted to ask.
"Mhm, ask away. I'll tell you everything I know."
Fully demonstrating what cooperation meant, Mei didn't want to end up like Kiana. Although they were good friends, she'd rather Kiana enjoy that treatment alone.
Chapter 5: Amnesia
"Who am I?"
Finally, he asked the question that had been bothering him since he woke up. The blond boy pointed to himself and asked. His mind was like a muddled mess. He didn't even know if he was awake. Everything felt like it was covered by a thin, inseparable, and untearable cloth. Where was this? Who were these two girls? And also...
Who was he?
"...What?"
She hadn't expected him to ask that question. Mei was momentarily stunned. She had thought he might ask about her identity, where they were, or what their intentions were. But Mei never imagined he would ask this. Looking into his deep purple eyes, Mei saw no hint of joking. This meant he was serious.
Mei recalled the previous investigation report. The physical injuries were secondary; the main issue was the severe damage to his brain. Was this a sequela of brain damage? A heavy thought surfaced in Mei's mind. Could this guy have amnesia?
"I'm asking, who am I?"
He patiently repeated the question. He couldn't figure this out. The white-haired girl next to him looked unintelligent. He could only seek answers from this girl. Who was he? This question was important.
"You are... who are you?"
She wanted to figure this out too! She had never interacted with him before. He suddenly appeared on the battlefield, suddenly stopped the fight, and then suddenly fell unconscious until now. He finally woke up, but he didn't remember his identity. What was she supposed to do? Ask the magical seashell, not her!
"I'm asking you, hurry up and say it, or I'll do this to you too!"
He tightened his grip, threatening Mei. At this moment, Kiana, who had been offline for half a day, finally reacted. The moment this guy laid hands on her, the Kaslana family's eldest daughter's mind went blank. Now, feeling the movement of his fingers, her brain finally came online. Did he just take advantage of me?
And his hand still hadn't stopped!
Shame and indignation instantly filled her heart. Thinking about how she had been taken advantage of for so long due to her slow reaction, Kiana felt like she was about to explode. She had never suffered such a loss before. Intern Valkyrie Kiana Kaslana immediately launched her attack. Who cared if he was still recovering from serious injuries? Anyone who dared to take advantage of the Kaslana family's eldest daughter had to be prepared to get beaten. How could I have saved such a perverted brat!
Although she had just begun her Valkyrie system training, as a warrior fighting the Honkai, Kiana had been learning the Kaslana family's inherited martial arts since childhood. She grabbed his hand, which was on her chest, and was about to teach him a lesson. But who knew that the perverted brat's reaction was even faster, and his skills were just as good. He didn't look like someone who had just woken up after lying down for so long. Catching Kiana's swinging fist, he used the force to jump to the ground like a nimble kitten. Electricity swirled around his fingers, and electromagnetism seemed to strengthen his muscles as if it were his body's instinct. Are these two really bad people?
"Wait a moment, Kiana, don't attack yet..."
Mei quickly tried to dissuade her, but the stubborn Kiana was not easily persuaded. Gritting her teeth, she jumped off the bed and rushed towards the person at the door. She had never been bullied like this before, and she wouldn't stand for such a silent loss!
This distance should be enough.
Seeing the white-haired girl charging like a berserker, the boy standing at the door took half a step back and casually grabbed a coin from the table, intending to use it as per instinct. However, just then, the door behind him was suddenly pushed open. His unstable stance immediately made him lunge forward. Kiana, who was also rushing forward, didn't expect him to lunge at her. In an instant, they became flustered. Seeing him pounce wildly, she forgot to resist. The two of them tumbled onto the floor, locked in an embrace. The back of her head hit the ground hard, while the person on top crashed into her chest as a buffer. He must have done it on purpose!
Kiana, whose front armor was hurting from the impact, thought this before she lost consciousness. How could it be such a coincidence!
"Mei-sister, Bronya is here to take over... What's going on?"
The instigator of all this also pushed the door open and walked in. The gray-haired, drill-haired, twin-tailed loli looked at everything in the room. Even her brain had trouble processing it. What was going on? Shouldn't this person have been in a coma the whole time? Why was he hugging Kiana again... She felt like she had missed a lot.
"So, my name should be Shen Gonglin? Are you sure I'm not named Yuuki? I feel like that surname fits my identity better."
The hospital room, now quiet again, found the blond boy... Shen Gonglin, sitting on the bed with a look of doubt. In his hand was the tattered school uniform. Although it was quite torn, Mei had washed it clean. The name tag on it clearly read Shen Gonglin. Was this his name?
To be honest, it did sound quite nice and suited him.
"How would we know? Anyway, that was the only thing on you when you arrived. If you didn't steal it, then that's your name. And here I was, taking care of you for so long, and you repay my kindness with ingratitude!"
This time, Kiana, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa far away, glared at Shen Gonglin and said indignantly. Mei stood by, rubbing the back of Kiana's head. That impact earlier had really hurt the girl. Now, Kiana had a headache and her chest hurt too, all because she had been used as a buffer. What a unlucky day!
However, it was fortunate that it was her. If it were Bronya, her ribs might have been fractured.
Glancing at Bronya on the bed, Kiana flashed a wicked smile as she looked at her flat figure. Good, good, just as expected of me.
"Detection complete. Physical condition is healthy. Brain issues are temporarily unclear. Preliminary diagnosis: possible amnesia due to trauma. Whether it's psychological or physical trauma is still unclear."
Kneeling behind Shen Gonglin, the gray-haired loli Bronya gave this conclusion after looking at the results scanned by the Heavy-duty Rabbit. Her gray pupils were calm. Although he had woken up, he had lost his memory. She wondered if this outcome was good or bad.
Amnesia... Maybe. I really can't remember anything. But who are these three girls?
Chapter 6: Maybe You're My Sister?
Putting his own identity aside for now, Shen Gonglin looked up at the three girls in the room. The white-haired one had a good figure and looked like a not-so-bright polar bear. The black-haired girl with a hint of purple was a homebody. And then there was the twin-tailed loli behind him... What were their identities?
"I am Raiden Mei. This is Kiana, and over there is Bronya. We are all students at St. Freya Academy. We are currently at St. Freya Academy, which is affiliated with the Far East Branch. It is an academic institution for training warriors to fight the Honkai. You appeared in Changkong City about two months ago. Because you were seriously injured at the time, we brought you to St. Freya to be treated. Do you remember any of this?"
Sensing Shen Gonglin's intention, Mei introduced herself to him. The other party was not an ordinary person. From the electromagnetic force he displayed earlier and how he interrupted their duel with Teacher Himeko in Changkong City, it was evident. But now he had amnesia, which made things troublesome.
"Um... You said a lot, and I didn't understand much. But does that mean you guys aren't some random bad guys?"
He understood every word, but when they were put together, Shen Gonglin couldn't quite grasp it. St. Freya, Far East Branch, fighting the Honkai, warriors, two months ago, Changkong City... He really had no memory of any of it. His mind was blank. When he tried to think deeper, his head started to hurt. Shen Gonglin held his head and pressed his temples hard. All he knew now was that these girls were probably not bad people. Had he been asleep for almost two months?
"You guessed wrong! I am a bad person! You reckless guy, watch how I deal with you!"
Suddenly, Kiana sprang up. The pain in the back of her head kept emphasizing the deep hatred she held for this guy. Ever since she woke up, he had taken advantage of her twice. She still had to settle the score for hitting the back of her head. Now that he had figured out the situation, it was time for her revenge!
Kiana, who hated being at a disadvantage, didn't care about anything else. If there was a grudge, she would get revenge. It was time to let this arrogant kid know how powerful she was. Now was the time to establish her position. Even if you lost your memory, you would know the cruelty of society. Shen Gonglin, you remember this. This is the first lesson I'm teaching you.
"Kiana, wait!"
It was too late to stop Kiana. Mei hadn't expected Kiana to make a move so suddenly, but Shen Gonglin was not flustered. He had already been on guard when the white-haired girl kept staring at him. Now that she pounced, it was exactly what he wanted. Although he didn't understand where the ability on his body came from, Shen Gonglin used it with great ease. He barely needed to mobilize it, and electricity flashed in the center of his purple pupils. After the current was strengthened, his mobility greatly increased for a short period. Kiana only felt a blur before she found herself lying on the bed. What happened? She hadn't beaten him?
"I don't think you're a good person. Beast, still... I misspoke. You behave yourself."
Sitting on Kiana's waist, Shen Gonglin pulled her arm and pressed her onto her back. Kiana, easily subdued due to underestimating her opponent, blushed instantly. How could she behave just because of his words? Kiana, lying on the bed, struggled immediately. The specially designed uniform rubbed against her, revealing a small section of her fair waist. She, she just carelessly underestimated him. From now on, she would show her true strength!
"Hey, you're still not behaving. Let me give you some electrotherapy."
The electric light flickering between his fingers became even more dazzling. Shen Gonglin pressed his palm onto Kiana's back. With the electromagnetic ability in his body now, he should be able to paralyze her. Even without his memory, Shen Gonglin could use this ability; it had become instinctual.
"Ah... You guy, you... You remember this for me!"
Kiana finally experienced what it was like to be stimulated. The electric shock made her teeth chatter. The feeling of being electrocuted instantly reminded her of the feeling when she first fought Mei at Senba Academy. But now, the feeling was much stronger than back then, with some obvious differences. Back then, being electrocuted by Mei only caused pain, but now, being electrocuted by Shen Gonglin felt like every cell in her body was being stimulated. In comparison, Shen Gonglin's control over the current seemed more refined.
"Mhm, mhm, I remember. Do you admit defeat?"
This kind of threat, neither too light nor too heavy, couldn't affect Shen Gonglin at all. Shen Gonglin continued to maintain his posture, with his hand on Kiana's back. So cold and ruthless... Could it be that he was a ruthless professor skilled in electrotherapy before? He unexpectedly found it quite fitting.
This time, Kiana gritted her teeth and remained silent. However, this wasn't her Kaslana bloodline's tenacious and unyielding spirit at work. It was entirely because she had been electrocuted for too long, and her mouth had gone numb. Even if she wanted to speak, she couldn't open her mouth. What was going on? Why was this current so strange? It wasn't exactly painful, just within her tolerance, but it made her unable to move. How could this guy have the same ability as Mei? Mei had it because of Honkai, but this guy... But there was no Honkai energy fluctuation from him.
"Um, stop for now. Kiana doesn't have any malicious intent. She just wants to play around with you... Shen Gonglin, what's with this ability of yours? Why can you also control lightning?"
After a moment of stunned silence, Mei remembered that Kiana was still suffering and quickly came forward to dissuade Shen Gonglin. Why did these two like fighting so much? When Shen Gonglin was unconscious, Kiana didn't seem to be so at odds with him. She came to take care of him on time every day, and even Mei couldn't help but admire her patience. But why had they been fighting non-stop since he woke up?
"You're talking about this? You can also control lightning, so that means you can too?"
He had a better impression of Mei. After all, who didn't like a mature, tall, dark-haired older sister? It seemed like he was naturally attracted to these mature older sisters. When she said that, Shen Gonglin released the hand he had on Kiana's back. He didn't understand why he could use this flickering electric light between his fingers, but if Mei could too...
Could it be that he and she had a connection?
"Yes, I wanted to say that earlier. Did you absorb the lightning from me before?"
Being able to use a bit of lightning power, Mei's purple eyes also flashed with electrical currents. Looking at her purple eyes, Shen Gonglin suddenly felt like he had grasped a blind spot.
That's right, she's his sister!
Chapter Seven: Yuri is Good
"Is it possible, for example, that my last name is also Raiden, or that we are actually brother and sister from different parents? After all, you see, we both have this 'bilibili' thing. Perhaps this is our family's special trait."
Shen Gonglin seriously proposed this possibility. He thought he was holding back some big move, but when the guy spoke, he said something like this. Mei's forehead was covered in black lines. What did he mean by brother and sister from different parents? If anything, it would be more like brother and sister, not brother and sister... No, how could they be brother and sister? Mei had never heard of such a thing!
"...I believe my parents. This is absolutely impossible."
"Tsk, tsk, this is your immaturity, Mei. You should know that the adult world is full of possibilities."
Shen Gonglin wagged his finger. He looked good, but Mei saw a hint of lewdness on his face this time. Had this guy really lost his memory? Apart from not remembering anything about himself, all his other knowledge was intact. What was he talking about, the adult world being full of possibilities?
"My lightning ability is an accident. This is not inherited power, so what you're saying is impossible."
Mei shook her head, denying Shen Gonglin's guess. Shen Gonglin didn't dwell on it. Although their eye colors were somewhat similar, their hair colors were vastly different. He and this girl should have no relationship. Their abilities should just be a coincidence. Mei controlled lightning, while Shen Gonglin controlled electromagnetism. Although the way they expressed it was sometimes the same, there were actually differences. So what was his identity? Shen Gonglin held his chin and thought seriously. The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. Could it be...
Was he mentally retarded before he lost his memory?
"Returning to the previous question, did you absorb the lightning from me?"
Mei was more concerned about this question. She felt her body's condition. All her abilities were related to Honkai energy. For ordinary people, Honkai energy was like poison. When Shen Gonglin absorbed electricity from her, would he also absorb Honkai energy? Would it have any effect on his body? As far as Mei knew, people eroded by Honkai energy would turn into Honkai beasts. As for the few of them, they had resistance to Honkai energy, which was also the primary condition for being a Valkyrie. Was Shen Gonglin's physique like this too?
"Yes, it should be."
Under Kiana's envious and jealous gaze, Shen Gonglin directly took Mei's hand. The current surging from the girl flowed into Shen Gonglin through their contact. Not only the electricity, but also the residual Honkai energy on the girl was absorbed by Shen Gonglin. This subtle Honkai energy was usually hidden in various corners of the girl's body. Although it didn't have much impact, it was still something bad. Now that it was all absorbed by Shen Gonglin, Mei felt an indescribable lightness throughout her body. Because of something inside her body, her lightning power was inexhaustible, like a natural power bank.
This replenished the electricity he had just consumed. Perhaps it was because he hadn't recovered yet. Although Shen Gonglin could recover on his own, the speed was definitely not as fast as directly absorbing from Mei. He decided that this girl would be his exclusive power bank from now on.
"Hoo... Do you feel anything wrong with your body? For example, discomfort, or any impulsive or extreme thoughts in your mind?"
Holding Shen Gonglin's hand, she felt comfortable all over... It was because the residual Honkai energy in her body had been cleared, not for any other reason. Her condition had never been this good, but Mei still worried about Shen Gonglin's situation. Although the residual Honkai energy on her body wasn't much, this was for a Valkyrie. For an ordinary person, this amount could drive them mad. Wouldn't absorbing all of it at once have any effect on Shen Gonglin's body? It was too impulsive. He had just woken up; he shouldn't be acting so recklessly.
"I don't feel anything, just that I've probably recovered to about Lv4. As for discomfort... I think that girl might be more uncomfortable than me. Her eyes look like she wants to tear me apart and eat me."
He still couldn't remember his past, but Shen Gonglin now remembered a certain level of classification. It should indeed be around Lv.4. Reaching Lv.5 was a bit difficult, let alone Lv.6. He should be missing something, like... safety shorts?
Thinking further made his head hurt, so Shen Gonglin decisively stopped thinking. At this moment, he felt a gaze filled with strong intent. Shen Gonglin turned his head and saw Kiana looking at his hand with envy and jealousy. If there was discomfort and extremism, he was talking about this white-haired girl.
"Waaah, hurry up and let go of Mei's hand! How long are you going to take advantage of Mei in front of me? Mei, be careful. This guy is not a good person at all. Girls need to be careful when interacting with boys!"
Finally, she couldn't hold back anymore. Kiana pounced with bared teeth and claws. She pulled Mei's hand and carefully blew on it as if something dirty had gotten on it. Kiana's eyes were filled with longing as she watched Shen Gonglin hold and rub Mei's cute and fair little hand. She never had the chance to touch Mei's little hand usually, so why did he get to take advantage of it? This Shen Gonglin was not a good person at all. He hadn't even let her go and had taken so much advantage, let alone such a cute Mei.
Kiana promised that he must have his eyes on Mei now. She had to protect her!
"Kiana, what are you talking about? How is that possible? You're just too nervous."
Mei smiled helplessly, withdrew her hand from Kiana's, and stroked her head to comfort her. In her opinion, Kiana had misunderstood Shen Gonglin. Those things were just accidents. Mei had a very good impression of Shen Gonglin, not knowing if it was because of his face or something else... Well, his face played a big part. Although she wasn't a complete face-con, Mei really liked Shen Gonglin's face.
Perhaps it was the girl's innate maternal aura. Seeing Shen Gonglin like this, she couldn't help but want to take care of him, just like facing Kiana.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Seeing this scene, Shen Gonglin shook his head. What a shame, such a good girl turned out to be a lesbian. Yuri is good, but unfortunately, she can't give birth.
Chapter Eight: The Leg Problem
Shen Gonglin shook his head, unable to bear watching this wasted scene. Both of these girls, if presented individually, would likely be the type to sow chaos among men. Even Kiana, as long as she didn't speak, was a great beauty. Yet, they preferred this to benefiting men. Tsk, he was completely uninterested in such lesbian behavior. Shen Gonglin shifted his gaze to the girl sitting behind him.
Should she be considered a girl? One shouldn't assume she's a loli just because she has twin ponytails. If having twin ponytails made someone a loli, then eating jelly would make him an astronaut, wouldn't it?
"Um... that's Bronya, right? Do they always do that?"
Shen Gonglin waved his hand in front of the young girl. Unlike the other two girls, this young girl maintained her stoic demeanor. Shen Gonglin hadn't heard her speak more than three sentences since she entered the room. Her small, porcelain-like face was expressionless; she seemed like a quiet girl, just like himself.
Of course, Shen Gonglin was referring to the quiet trait, not anything else about her being a girl.
"Yes, Kiana often harasses Mei-senpai. Bronya has considered intervening, but Mei-senpai has never asked for help. Analysis suggests Mei-senpai might be enjoying it... Please don't do that, Bronya is troubled."
Bronya spoke matter-of-factly, but Shen Gonglin became interested. Was this child roleplaying as a robot? Ignoring her words, Shen Gonglin suddenly reached out and poked Bronya's cheek. Even then, the girl's expression didn't change much. She was truly like a doll that never smiled.
"It's okay, it's okay. If you do it too much, you won't be troubled. Come on, come on, don't hide, let me see."
Strictly speaking, Bronya was much more fun than Mei or Kiana. Mei was hard to provoke into serious teasing, and Kiana would get defensive with the slightest tease. In comparison, Bronya was easy to handle, as if she naturally enjoyed teasing girls. Although they had just met, Shen Gonglin familiarly grabbed Bronya's arm and started rubbing her face. No matter what he did, her expression didn't seem to change. This was abnormal. He wondered if she would laugh if he tickled her feet?
Once the thought entered his mind, Shen Gonglin couldn't stop himself. When he shifted his gaze, he noticed something amiss. Beneath Bronya's short skirt, her legs, which should have been fair as jade, were covered in armor. Was this a special hobby of the young girl? How could he tickle her feet like this? Could it be... that everything was within Bronya's calculations?
He was losing his mind, losing his mind. Why was he thinking such nonsensical things?
"Is it ugly?"
Bronya's tone remained unchanged as her gray eyes looked at Shen Gonglin. Noticing his frozen expression, she quietly retracted her legs and covered them with the blanket. She didn't feel any sense of loss, as she couldn't feel joy or happiness due to past experiments. If there's no joy, how can there be loss?
"Fair as jade. Judging by the skin and shape, I could play with them for a year. If I could analyze the taste and texture, perhaps I could play with them for a lifetime. Why are you hiding something so good? Hurry up and let me get a good look."
However, Shen Gonglin's evaluation surprised Bronya. He pulled the blanket away and began examining Bronya's calves. Through the gaps in the armor, he could see the girl's fair skin. He didn't understand the concept of gender separation, after all, he had amnesia. Doing strange things was somewhat justifiable. He couldn't blame himself; he should blame his amnesia.
"It's not ugly?"
Perhaps startled by Shen Gonglin's actions, Bronya didn't resist at first. She propped herself up on the bed with her hands behind her, one calf held in Shen Gonglin's hand. Bronya tilted her head and asked Shen Gonglin this. Even without any change in expression, Shen Gonglin still sensed an emotion called curiosity from the girl. It seemed this girl wasn't entirely devoid of emotional changes. This was quite interesting.
"If this can be called ugly, then there are no beautiful legs. However, it's hard to see clearly with the armor on. I need to take it apart and have a good look."
