Fireworks Fade, Human Kindness Endures

"I'm sorry to leave you and your father behind."

She could clearly see the weariness in Himeko's eyes.

"This isn't Mom's fault." Himeko shook her head and took the woman's hand.

The woman smiled gently, "I don't think I'll have much time left to come back."

"Three days..."

"Three days? That's really not enough. Go home first. I think you haven't had my cooking in a long time."

"Today, Mom will show you her skills, and then we'll go play for the next two days."

Looking at the smiling woman, Himeko closed her eyes.

"... You are always so gentle."

As she spoke, a tear slid down her cheek.

Chapter 287 Fireworks fade, but human kindness endures.

In a small town in Russia

Two women who look exactly alike but are different heights are strolling around the town.

"Hey? Ural, do you like playing video games?"

Seeing Bronya standing at the entrance of the game store, not moving, Alexandra couldn't help but ask.

"The Demon Sword God Machine Alahator from 1992..."

Bronya wiped her drool.

For a gaming enthusiast like her, this is an absolute classic.

"Sorry, I lost my composure."

Bronya, regaining her senses, said.

Alexandra covered her face and smiled, "It's alright. Since you like it so much, Urals, let's go in and have some fun together."

Bronya was taken aback. "Won't this affect you?"

"I don't really have anything to do. Rather, I'd like to learn more about the things you like," Alexandra said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go."

As he spoke, he took Ural's hand and led him into the arcade.

"..."

"Alexandra, how are things going between you and Alexei?"

"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking this kind of question?"

Alexandra's face turned red quickly, as could be seen with the naked eye.

This piqued Bronya's interest. "I'm just a little curious."

"Well, how should I put it? I'm very happy when I'm with him. Even when he's busy, he'll always make time to come and be with me."

"I wish you happiness."

"Haha, if we get married in the future, little sister Ural must come!"

Bronya paused, then smiled faintly, "Yes, definitely..."

Raiden Mei held the girl in her arms, looking down at the earth from high above.

The winding river, the majestic mountain peaks, the beautiful sunset, and the orange-red world.

Everything that could only be seen in comics was clearly presented in the girl's purple eyes.

From the moment he came out, the smile on his face never stopped.

She can say without hesitation that today is the happiest day of her life.

"Thank you, Miss Knight."

"Fine."

As the sun began to set, the girl spoke up, "Raiden Mei, let's go back."

"It's getting late. If we don't go back soon, Dad will find out."

Raiden Mei paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

"Raiden Mei, you need to talk more. If you stay so quiet, you'll never find a boyfriend."

Looking at the girl in her arms, Raiden Mei opened her mouth, but the words just wouldn't come out.

At this moment, just being by your side is enough...

People grow up. Even if you pretend nothing happened, your personality, your words and actions, and your expressions can never go back to the way they were before.

Then, as if she had thought of something, Raiden Mei looked at the girl.

A gentle smile appeared on her face, "Let's go somewhere together tonight."

"Good."

Without hesitation, the girl readily agreed.

After that, Raiden Mei sent the other person back.

Looking at the girl inside the room, Raiden Mei connected it to Twilight Theresa Anti-Entropy.

"Headmaster, I need your help..."

After saying that, Raiden Mei explained her reasons.

The other party quickly replied, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Hearing Theresa's confident voice, Raiden Mei chuckled softly, "Thank you, Headmistress."

"It's okay, Raiden Mei. You and your mom have fun. I'll take care of everything else for you."

After exchanging a few more words, the two ended the communication.

Mei glanced at the girl inside the house, Raiden Mei transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from the spot.

"Here, have some." Himeko's mother put a piece of food on Muryota's plate.

With identical hair color and 70% similar appearance, the two look like sisters.

That's enough.

Looking at the pile of food in her bowl, Murata Himeko smiled wryly.

"It's okay, eat more, that's good for your health."

Himeko smiled helplessly, but her heart was filled with joy.

She hadn't heard such familiar care in a long time.

"Auntie, who are you?"

Finally, Himeko, who had been shoveling rice into her bowl, couldn't help but ask.

"You can call me HIMEKO," Murata Himeko with a smile, looking at Himeko.

"HIMEKO? Auntie, you're a foreigner."

Murata Himeko: "..."

Cry--

It turns out that in her own eyes, she's also an auntie.

"Himeko, don't talk nonsense. You should call her 'older sister'."

Seeing Murata Himeko's expression, Himeko's mother quickly said.

"Sister," Himeko called out obediently.

"It's alright," Murata Himeko forced a smile.

But then, Himeko asked a question that was enough to make her want to vomit blood.

"Sister, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Cough cough."

Murata Himeko had just taken a bite of food, immediately vomited it up.

"Himeko, who told you all this?" Himeko's mother asked sternly.

"My classmates are all talking about it," Himeko said innocently.

"It's alright, she's just a kid," Murata Himeko with an awkward laugh.

If she weren't her childhood self, she would have directly used a short-range attack to open the Heavenly Spirit.

But her mother's next words stunned her.

"HIMEKO, you're not getting any younger, you really should find a boyfriend."

"..."

Himeko silently picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in her mouth. "I will try my best to achieve it."

Himeko's mother. "???"

How many times have we talked about this?

Night falls

The moon replaced the sun.

A young girl looked expectantly out the window.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck, Raiden Mei appeared in the room.

"Raiden Mei, you've come!"

The young lady, dressed in a kimono, ran excitedly towards Mei the moment she saw Raiden Mei arrive.

Raiden Mei smiled and nodded, extending her hand to the girl. "Let's go."

The girl, without suspicion, grasped the hand directly.

With a purple light, the two disappeared from the ancient mansion.

Beside a stream

As lightning struck, two girls with long, straight, purple hair landed there.

"Here it is?"

Looking around, the girl showed a puzzled expression.

On the other side

"Is everything ready?"

Theresa looked at Liliya and Rosaria and asked.

"Don't worry, Vodka Girls, I guarantee I'll complete the mission," Rosaria said nonchalantly.

"Rosaria, be careful, these fireworks are very dangerous."

"That's why I use the tail."

Liliya: "..."

Bang!

Just as the girl was feeling a bit confused, an explosion suddenly sounded in the sky.

It instantly caught the girl's attention.

She turned around

Then we saw several dazzling fireworks bloom in the dark night sky.
