The Honkai, My Ex-Girlfriend is Actually Raiden Mei Chapter 2

"That's true." Su Moqian nodded.

[Then, the reason why the host failed to end up with his beloved Raiden Mei in the future is likely closely related to them.]

[So why not strike first and win over everyone around Mei? That way, Mei would be yours alone!]

Hearing this, a contemplative expression appeared on Su Moqian's face: "Hmm... though I've never heard such reasoning before, it does seem to hold some truth."

Normally, Su Moqian would never be swayed by a few words from others.

But humans always tend to believe what they want to believe. With the hope of reclaiming Mei right before him, how could Su Moqian give up?

With that thought, Su Moqian decisively said, "I understand, System. Let's begin today's simulation now!"

[As per the host's request, the simulation begins immediately!]

[Detecting the host's innate talents: Martial Arts Mastery, Natural Affinity, Yandere Magnet.]

Hearing this, Su Moqian couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Wait, did he just see something alarming?

[Then, the first simulation officially begins!]

[Day 1: Having broken up with Mei, you do not wallow in pain or sorrow. Your proactive drive pushes you to relentlessly pursue the truth behind the breakup.]

[Unfortunately, burdened by your studies, you gain nothing this day.]

[Day 2: You are shocked to learn that Raiden Mei's father has been imprisoned. That evening, your parents send you to Senba Academy as an auditor, instructing you to keep an eye on Mei and prevent her from doing anything rash.]

Seeing this, Su Moqian frowned in confusion: "Uncle Ryoma went to prison? Why?"

The two families had known each other for a long time.

Su Moqian's father had moved from Shenzhou to the Far East for business reasons.

His mother, meanwhile, had opened a Shenzhou Martial Arts Hall in Changkong City, which unexpectedly led to a minor conflict with the Hokushin Itto-ryu.

But from that clash, a friendship was born. The Su family quickly grew close to the Raiden family, and his father became close friends with Raiden Ryoma.

With the Raiden family's help, his mother's martial arts hall had now developed into the Shenzhou Headquarters, earning considerable prestige locally.

As for Su Moqian and Raiden Mei, they had grown up together as childhood friends and became a couple a year ago.

"Forget it, let's see what happens next." Su Moqian set aside his doubts and continued watching.

[Day 3: On your way to Senba Academy to handle enrollment procedures, you happen upon a bullying incident. Without hesitation, you knock down all the thugs and rescue the girl. She is deeply grateful and tells you her name: Asakura Miyuki.]

[As you leave, a white-haired girl brushes past you.]

"A white-haired girl?" Su Moqian raised an eyebrow, suddenly paying attention.

By normal logic, this simulator usually described a day's events in a single sentence.

Yet here, it singled out this detail—clearly, that white-haired girl was no ordinary person.

[Day 4: Having officially become an auditor at Senba Academy, you plan to find time to test Raiden Mei's feelings. However, Asakura Miyuki suddenly finds you, saying she has something to discuss.]

[Trusting and kind-hearted, you don't suspect anything and follow Asakura Miyuki to a small grove on campus. There, she drugs you when you're not paying attention and locks you in her family's basement.]

[Asakura Miyuki has fallen for you, but her love is an extreme possessiveness. She keeps you locked in the basement every day, constantly honing her Gun Fu skills against you.]

[Though you are a martial artist, under the daily influence of the drugs, your body grows weak, and you cannot resist Asakura Miyuki. And then, there is no "and then."]

[This simulation has ended.]

[Congratulations, host! You have achieved the ending: "The Yandere Girl's Husband."]

[Based on this simulation's results, the settlement rewards are: Poison Resistance Level 1, Gun Fu Level 1.]

[This ending's evaluation: F-rank. Wish Power reward: 20 points.]

Chapter 3: Yandere Magnet

Staring at the simulation's information, Su Moqian silently sank into thought.

"System, don't you have any excuses to make?"

[Host, don't slander me! Simulating life is one of my core functions. My fairness in this regard is far higher than a Korean referee's!]

"...With that level of excuse-making, you'd be better off working on an assembly line."

"Forget it." Su Moqian let out a soft sigh.

He didn't want to argue further with this unserious system. Better to study the rewards from this simulation first.

Su Moqian focused and tapped the settlement rewards on the system screen. A detailed description immediately popped up.

[Poison Resistance (Level 1)]

[Your body now has a certain resistance to sedative-type toxins. When poisoned, the onset time will be appropriately extended (depending on the toxin's grade).]

"I see." Su Moqian nodded thoughtfully.

So it seemed that the simulated version of himself, after being drugged daily by the yandere girl, had developed this resistance, which then became a settlement reward.

"Then, the other reward should be..."

Su Moqian glanced at the skill name [Gun Fu], his face flushing slightly as he chose not to open the detailed information.

"Ahem, those who know, know."

"Alright, let's not dwell on that for now. I still need to seriously think about why such an absurd outcome was simulated."

With that, Su Moqian calmed himself and began to ponder earnestly.

Suddenly, he seemed to recall something off he had noticed before the simulation started.

The next moment, Su Moqian decisively looked at his personal panel, which recorded his three innate talents.

"Hmm, the first one, [Martial Arts Mastery], should be self-explanatory."

Su Moqian nodded, then turned his gaze to the second talent:

[Natural Affinity: You are born with strong likability. Humans and animals have an additional boost to their initial favorability toward you.]

"Mm, a decent talent, no issues there. As for the third..."

[Yandere Magnet]

[You possess a unique allure for the opposite sex. If that individual has yandere traits, your appeal to them is doubled!]

[From this, it's clear that this talent also greatly aids the host in conquering targets~]

"Are you insane? That last line was something you added yourself, wasn't it?" Su Moqian's face darkened, his mouth twitching.

No wonder he had been targeted by a yandere just days after awakening the system and locked in a basement.

It was all this ridiculous talent's fault!

"Ah, forget it." Su Moqian shook his head.

He was still fairly confident in his combat ability.

As long as he stayed cautious and wasn't drugged, there was almost no real danger.

Even if he encountered more yanderes in the future, they'd just be ordinary people—hardly a threat.

As for the Valkyries in this world who could actually threaten him, they were all upright individuals. How could they possibly turn into yanderes?

Besides, he was just an ordinary person.

He'd probably never have much chance to interact with those Schicksal Valkyries anyway, so worrying about this was just borrowing trouble.

Thinking this, Su Moqian finally relaxed. As long as he kept a low profile for now, he wouldn't need to fret over these issues later.

Elsewhere, inside Raiden Mei's house.

Though night had already fallen, Mei was not lying in bed resting as usual.

Instead, she gripped a bamboo sword, tirelessly practicing the Hokushin Sword Technique.

It was unclear how long she had been at it, but sweat had already soaked through her clothes. Yet she showed no sign of stopping.

A voice suddenly rang out in her mind:

"What, regret it?"

Raiden Mei pressed her lips together without answering, but the sword in her hand grew a few degrees sharper.

The voice in her mind continued: "That 'system' reacted quickly. My electromagnetic link has been severed."

"Probably means the intelligence theft was discovered. It's unlikely we'll be able to steal future information from there anymore..."

"It's fine. That's enough."

Mei gently shook her head, slowing her movements.

She didn't care much about that. But whenever she thought of what was to come, her heart couldn't help but sink into despair.

Just last night, Raiden Mei had seen the future—an incredibly real future.

It started when a consciousness inside her, calling itself a Herrscher, used electromagnetic force to connect with an existence called a "system" by chance.

Thus, she had briefly glimpsed events in the days to come.

But that future—Mei couldn't accept it. She longed to change everything.

Lost in thought, Mei spoke softly: "Can you help me?"

"Of course. I like you, this child." The voice in her mind replied with a smile.

"Thank you. By the way, what should I call you?"

Mei suddenly realized the other party had never mentioned their name.

"My name..." The Herrscher of Thunder paused for a moment, then said quietly:

"Never mind. Just call me Miss Herrscher."

Her own name had long been forgotten, and the title of Herrscher of Thunder would be passed down through generations along with the power.

So, strictly speaking, this was the only way she could refer to herself now.

"Understood, Miss Herrscher."

Raiden Mei nodded, forcing herself to muster her spirits and encouraging herself:

"Come on, Mei! Once this matter is settled, I can ask Moqian to get back together..."

"Then you'd better hurry up. What if, before you finish, your Su Moqian gets snatched away by someone else?" The Herrscher of Thunder interrupted Mei's words with a cheerful smile.

Hearing this, Raiden Mei's face instantly flushed red as she said:

"You—don't talk nonsense! Moqian isn't that kind of person."

"Mei, you broke up with Su Moqian on purpose for your own plan."

"You're sure you'll get back together with him after the plan is done, but he doesn't know that."

"From his perspective, you just suddenly and inexplicably broke up with him without giving any reason... Su Moqian might already hate you by now!"

"Ah?!"

Raiden Mei's eyes went wide as she suddenly remembered that, to make Su Moqian cool his heart and stay away from her, she hadn't replied to any of his messages.

According to what Miss Herrscher said, could Su Moqian really have come to hate her?

Thinking this, Raiden Mei fumbled frantically to pull her phone from her pocket.

Staring at the screen full of messages, Mei wanted to explain, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

In the end, Mei shook her head and chose to give up.

Pressing the phone against her chest, Mei murmured, "Please, Moqian, just give me a little more time..."

Chapter 4: Can Money Make You Do Whatever You Want?

Time quickly arrived on the day Raiden Ryoma's imprisonment was announced.

That evening, the Su family was having dinner.
