Love Letter

"Mei, are you sure you don't need me to accompany you?"

Facing Kevin's question, Mei shook her head.

"Personnel from the Mu Continent will be sent to protect me."

Kevin didn't insist further and watched Mei leave.

"You two really don't spend much time together."

"There's no helping it, Kira-senpai. Mei always puts humanity's cause first."

"And you don't?"

Kevin shook his head and then said, "I'm not as great as people say. My actions have always been for Mei's sake."

"Whether it was joining the Flame Chasers back then, or becoming a Fusion Warrior."

Yoshikage Kira patted Kevin's shoulder upon hearing this.

"Who isn't? Most humans are selfish."

"Want to spar?"

"Yes, thank you for the trouble, senpai."

[Mei's achievements in the quantum field led to an invitation from the Mu Continent.]

[Subsequently, Mei began long-term research on quantum mechanics at the Flame Chasers on the Mu Continent.]

[The Mu Continent truly lives up to its reputation as a hub for humanity's scientific and technological crystallization.]

[Here, Mei not only had the assistance of numerous top researchers but was also free from interference by the opposition.]

[Six months later, the Mu Continent established the 'Stargate' connecting to the moon and the 'Eye of the Abyss' that could connect to the Sea of Quantum.]

[Following this, the Mu Continent began exploring the Sea of Quantum.]

[As the exploration deepened, Mei's understanding of the Honkai and the Sea of Quantum further increased.]

If the development of human technology were to cause ripples on the Sea of Quantum, then...

A terrifying conjecture gradually formed in Mei's mind.

However, seeing everyone busy, Mei did not voice this conjecture.

[Mei wanted to prove her conjecture wrong, but as more and more data emerged, she had to face reality.]

[The strength of the Honkai is directly proportional to the level of human technological development.]

[This news, once released, would undoubtedly cause chaos.]

[Mei decided not to release this news for the time being.]

"Let's stop here for today."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, senpai."

"...Speaking of which, Kevin, how long has it been since you last contacted Mei?"

"...Mei dislikes being disturbed when she's working."

"So... you haven't contacted her at all."

"What if I messaged her and disturbed her?" Kevin said with some dejection.

"...You really care about her."

"In that case, how about writing a letter?"

"A letter?"

"Yes. The staff there will surely find a time when Mei is resting before giving it to her, so you don't have to worry about disturbing her work."

"Right! How did I not think of that? Thank you, senpai."

Afterward, the two returned to the villa in the Golden Courtyard.

Yoshikage Kira sat in the courtyard, feeling the slightly hot and humid early summer breeze.

"Dear Mei... hmm..."

"What's wrong?" Yoshikage Kira asked, seeing Kevin scratching his head after just writing the beginning.

"Uh... I don't know how to write..."

Kevin scratched his head, saying awkwardly.

"I have a lot I want to say to Mei in my head, but I just don't know how to put it down on paper."

Yoshikage Kira tapped the table between them.

"Listen.

Dear Mei, how have you been lately?

Whenever I think of you,"

"I feel like I'm seeing the beautiful plains of Iowa."

"Senior Kira, I haven't seen them."

"Mm, I haven't either."

"Then this..."

"The content of the letter isn't important. What matters is conveying your feelings, isn't it?"

"Mei won't care about your content, just like she won't care that you're bothering her."

"...Alright."

"Then I'll continue."

"The distance between us

Makes me despondent.

Time without you is meaningless to me.

Falling in love with you was the easiest decision I ever made.

Nothing is more important than you.

Every day I live, I am deeply aware

That I fell in love with you the day I met you.

I love you today, And I will love you for the rest of my life."

"And I will love you for the rest of my life... Okay, I'm done."

"Then... I'm going to mail it."

"...You don't need to report every single thing to me, Kevin."

"Ah... Oh."

"Because Senior Kira gives off a very steady impression, I wanted to ask for your opinion."

"...You don't need to bother me with such trivial matters."

"Dr. Mei, there's a letter for you."

"A letter?" Mei opened the door, took the letter, and then walked back into her room, sitting on the bed.

"Does anyone even write letters anymore? Ah, it's Kevin, that's not surprising."

Reading the contents of the letter, Mei couldn't help but smile.

"These aren't sentences I'd expect from Kevin."

But undeniably, Mei's stress had significantly lessened thanks to the letter from her lover.

"I should head back now, go see Kevin, see everyone."

Mei was a woman of action. As soon as she decided to return, she immediately began packing her luggage.

The Mu Continent knew it couldn't keep Mei and didn't try to force her to stay.

"Mei, take this. Consider it a farewell gift."

"Dr. Einstein, your Armed Doll research is successful?" Mei asked, looking at the doll Dr. Einstein handed her.

Dr. Einstein flicked her ponytail with her hand.

"Hmph, who do you think I am? Researching an Armed Doll is child's play for me."

"Then I'm leaving, Doctor. I look forward to working with you again."

"Alright, alright, don't be so mushy. Hurry up and go."

"Then everyone, farewell. May we meet again."

Seeing Mei step off the plane, Kevin excitedly rushed to meet her.

"Welcome back! Mei."
