Mei, Please Rest

St. Freya Academy, Valkyrie Dormitory

As she gradually regained consciousness, Mei finally woke from her coma.

"Ah, Sister Mei, you're awake?"

Seeing Mei's eyes slowly open, Seele, who was by her bedside, finally let out a relieved sigh.

"That's great. I was worried that you..."

Hey, Seele, I suggest you stop right there.

Just as Seele was about to say, "I was worried Senior Gu Yu had hit you too hard," the other personality within her immediately interrupted her in her mind.

Normally, seeing her obedient, model-student-like primary personality inadvertently say something cutting to someone else would have been rather amusing.

But today, Dark Seele felt that she ought to stop Seele from doing what she was about to do.

For one thing, if Seele said that, Dark Seele could not guarantee that Raiden Mei, who had just collapsed for some reason, would not be provoked too badly and cause the personality within her to go berserk.

Don't make that joke about Raiden Mei having excellent control over her Herrscher personality. She had gone berserk earlier today.

As for the other reason...

—Dark Seele felt that piling on now would be going too far.

Everyone in the dormitory except Gu Yu knew that Raiden Mei liked him, yet Gu Yu had beaten her up today over a misunderstanding.

Well, the Herrscher personality had been controlling the body when Gu Yu hit her, but it was only natural for Raiden Mei to retain a little of those memories after switching back.

Under such circumstances, she had been beaten by the person she liked, and then a pure, innocent girl like Seele, like a little white flower, would use the plainest words possible to lay that fact before Raiden Mei once again. How was that any different from pouring sulfuric acid onto
