Honkai, I Alone Save Everything

Ming Yu accepted the current situation, spread his hands, and said:

"Alright... In any case, welcome."

And just like that, his life at St. Freya Academy suddenly ushered in an event of living together with three beautiful girls.

Chapter 53: Five People, One Fox, One Morning

Morning.

The alarm clock rang on time, and to the sound of pleasant light music echoing, Ming Yu climbed out of bed.

After turning off the alarm, he looked out the window and paused for a moment.

Yeah, he still felt it was a bit unreal.

As a veteran captain with seven years of experience and a transmigrator, although he had indeed imagined many scenarios, he never expected to live with three beautiful girls.

Even though Yae Sakura, the shrine maiden, was present before, he would go out for combat training and classes during the day. Now, during this temporary holiday period, it felt completely different.

Yeah... because he was on vacation, even his daily routine of practicing martial arts with Fu Hua had been temporarily suspended.

However, basic physical training couldn't be neglected.

"298... 299... 300, hu, good."

After briskly completing three hundred push-ups on the spot, Ming Yu stood up nimbly.

After taking a cold shower in the bathroom, he walked out feeling refreshed, put on his clothes, and opened the window facing the forest.

The morning sun shone through the trees, and Ming Yu took in this beautiful scenery along with the birdsong and fragrant flowers.

A gentle breeze blew from the forest, stirring the water droplets that hadn't completely dried after his shower, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Alright, a new day begins."

Shaking his hands and relaxing his shoulders, Ming Yu pulled open his room door, went downstairs, and arrived on the first floor.

Because he usually woke up early to practice martial arts with Fu Hua, he got up relatively early. At this time, the three of them were probably still resting.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, he skillfully took out six eggs from the refrigerator.

He placed the pan on the stove, turned on the heat, and after the iron pan began to smoke slightly, he poured in some oil.

—Although his cooking skills were initially comparable to a Kaslana's, after repeated practice and training, he now at least reached a normal person's standard, if not yet Mei's.

After all, what couldn't be practiced well after repeating it ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times?

Normally, Yae Sakura would make breakfast, but with the arrival of those three girls, it was naturally inconvenient for her to appear in her human form.

Yeah, as for why there were six eggs...

It was him, Yae Sakura, Kiana, Bronya, Mei, and Mei's other personality.

His eyes were fixed on the pan, and with his right hand, he picked up an egg, tapped it on the edge of the pan, and with a crack, the egg white and yolk fell into the pan.

The eggs sizzled in the pan. Once the egg whites turned golden brown, Ming Yu skillfully transferred them to a plate with a spatula, and finally sprinkled a little salt. A passable breakfast was thus successfully completed.

He placed the breakfast on the dining table and glanced at the living room. A certain little fox was curled up in a ball, sleeping in its bed.

—Yesterday, the kind Kiana made a bed for it, so Yae Sakura, having lost her own room, was temporarily staying in the living room.

Ming Yu walked over and placed one of the plates of eggs in front of her.

He wasn't sure if foxes could eat eggs, though Yae Sakura wasn't a real fox.

The little fox's ears twitched, and it finally stood up and stretched.

Seeing this, Ming Yu quietly asked:

"Miss Sakura, are you... getting used to this?"

"It's alright, it's not bad to change identities once in a while."

Yae Sakura's reply echoed in his mind.

Cute little animals were as endearing as beautiful girls. Except for Mei, who had already seen her once, the other two girls were also extremely fond of her.

Of course, Bronya's gaze might have been a little subtle. Perhaps she had already realized that they were fox ears and not donkey ears.

He turned back and took out a few bottles of milk from the refrigerator and placed them on the table. At this moment, footsteps could be heard from the stairs behind him.

Ming Yu turned around and saw Mei walking down.

She was only wearing a very loose purple T-shirt on her upper body, her face was slightly flushed, her long purple hair cascaded down her back, and the soft curve from her neck to her collarbone was as white as snow.

Even though it was loose, it couldn't hide Mei's proud figure, which far surpassed that of most girls her age.

Her lower garment was a pleated skirt with a simple pattern that barely covered her knees, along with her calves, which were completely bare.

Yeah, good review.

Beautiful girls look good in any outfit, even if they're not wearing any.

"Good morning, Ming Yu."

Seeing him already in the living room, the purple-haired girl waved, her cheeks slightly flushed.

—This was genuine cohabitation!

Although she had some thoughts when Theresa arranged their dormitories yesterday, she didn't dare to show them.

She hadn't expected Bronya to help her out by speaking up for her.

Speaking of which, if Bronya and Kiana hadn't come with her, she would never have had the courage to move in by herself.

"Good morning."

Ming Yu nodded and gestured to the breakfast on the table, saying:

"Breakfast is ready."

Mei blinked in surprise, then said:

"Eh, it's already ready?"

She had woken up earlier than the other two girls and had intended to make breakfast for everyone.

"Yeah, after what happened the day before yesterday, how could I let you make breakfast again, Mei?"

Ming Yu said.

"Uh, it's really nothing..."

The purple-haired girl said softly.

After bringing Mei back from the seaside to the infirmary, Theresa had arranged for someone to examine her. She had indeed simply ingested sleeping pills, and apart from that, they had not caused any other effects on her body.

Mei paused, then thanked him again in a gentle tone:

"Thank you again this time, Ming Yu."

She had already learned about what happened after she fainted from others.

Counting the incident in Changkong City, this was the second time she had been saved by him.

At this moment, the color of one of the girl's pupils changed, turning a blood red.

Immediately after, she asked in a completely different tone:

"...Bronya did it, didn't she?"

—The Herrscher of Thunder sister is online.

She's online, but not entirely. Judging by these temporary heterochromatic pupils, they could probably take turns speaking.

Perhaps Mei herself didn't notice, but the other self watching everything from a bystander's perspective inside her could easily deduce who had administered the drug.

At that time, only Mei and Bronya were in the dormitory. If it wasn't her, then who else could it be?

Ming Yu didn't hide it from Mei, the victim, and simply nodded gently.

Although he had promised not to tell Theresa and the others what Bronya had done, Mei, as the direct victim, naturally had the right to know the truth.

"I can guarantee that she won't hurt you all anymore."

"...Who ordered Bronya?"

The Herrscher of Thunder sister asked in a deep voice.

Even without being asked, she knew Mei's attitude, so she wouldn't bother Bronya.

But behind Bronya, there must be someone else directing her actions. That person was who she intended to seek revenge on.

"Just as you thought, Cocolia. She's also the one who destroyed Changkong City, and also... the one who sent Mr. Longma to prison."

Ming Yu said in a low voice.

She destroyed your family, sent your father to prison, turned your city into ruins, and even wanted to capture you, take the Herrscher core within you, and then kill you.

Cocolia and Mei have a blood feud in every sense of the word.

"...I will settle the score with her one day."

The Herrscher of Thunder sister said coldly.

This was not a simple matter. That old fox, as an Executor obsessed with power, always prioritized her own safety. It wouldn't be easy to pinpoint her location.

It was likely that even others, who were also Anti-Entropy Executors, couldn't ascertain her exact whereabouts.

But one day, he would settle the score with her. Not only for Mei, but he would also settle the score with Cocolia for Changkong City.

Thinking of this, Ming Yu just nodded slightly and said:

"When that time comes, I'll be with you."

Then, he gestured to the breakfast on the table again and said:

"Alright, let's eat breakfast first. I've prepared two portions for you. I'll go wake up Bronya and Kiana."

"No!"

Mei suddenly refused nervously.

"...?"

"You can't eat two portions. If I eat too much, I'll get fat again..."

She explained with a hint of grievance.

Managing one's physique is a rather important matter for girls.

After all, not all girls are Kiana, blessed with a metabolism that prevents weight gain no matter how much they eat.

"So tasty—!"

A moment later, pulled from her bed, Kiana, still in her pure white pajamas, sat at the dining table and offered her review.

Of course, her review for the vast majority of food was the same: "Delicious."

"Idiot Kiana, don't talk while you're eating," the silver-haired girl beside her said mercilessly.

"I'm going to talk, Bronya, Bronya—"

As Kiana spoke, she reached out and pinched her face.

"Mmph—"

Bronya's little face was subjected to abuse, only managing to let out muffled sounds.

For Ming Yu, this kind of scene was novel, but judging by Mei's calm reaction from the side, it was something they were all too accustomed to.

Yeah, this kind of life isn't bad either.

—Actually, just like Bronya, he really liked this relatively peaceful life.

Sparring with Fu Hua, listening to Yae Sakura recount tales of the Far East from five hundred years ago, teasing Mei whenever the mood struck, provoking Kiana, or playing games with Bronya – it was far more colorful and varied than his previous academy life.

It's just that this superficial peace was destined not to last, with quite a few figures lurking in the shadows, eyeing them covetously.
