Someone in Honkai, the Cheat is Bouncing Warehouse Chapter 39

She collected her thoughts and let out a tragically beautiful smile. Just as she was about to step forward, she found another girl passing through her from behind.

Instantly, her smile froze on her face.

Sie's panic and fear could no longer be concealed at this moment; they erupted completely.

I've been abandoned, abandoned by the entire world.

Once this thought arose, it was like a prairie fire, impossible to extinguish, completely consuming her.

Sie no longer tried to get the attention of passersby with gentle means.

Tirelessly, she greeted every pedestrian who walked by, even resorting to extremely rough actions, like clenching her fists and hitting them.

But the result was the same.

I can't touch anyone. Reaching out feels like touching air. I can't feel any sense of substance, and neither can that passerby.

Attempt after attempt yielded desperate results. The last sliver of anticipation and hope Sie had was shattered by cruel reality.

A strong sense of powerlessness surged within her. She stood frozen in place, like a broken music box doll, watching student after student pass by her.

Rumble

In the sky, thick dark clouds gathered. Muffled, agitated thunder rumbled continuously.

"It's going to rain!"

Someone shouted, and then, raindrops the size of soybeans began to fall.

Students who had been leisurely strolling on the path quickened their pace, either heading under eaves or taking shelter in rain sheds.

Only she remained alone, stranded in the original spot.

The rain grew heavier and heavier, but Sie seemed to not exist in this world. The cold raindrops didn't land on her at all.

She raised her head. Her once bright eyes had lost all their luster.

They were as dim as the sky-obscuring dark clouds above.

Why?

Why can't anyone see me?

Why can't anyone touch me?

Meanwhile, Ren Yu was slowly returning to the dormitory, holding an umbrella.

He even paused when he saw the woman with short red hair standing at the base of the dormitory building, gazing up at the sky in the rain.

Why did that back look so much like Sie?

No way?

Ren Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Did something happen?

He quickened his pace, holding his umbrella, and walked over to Sie's side. He shielded her head with most of the umbrella, blocking her view.

But Sie remained in that blank posture, not moving at all.

Ren Yu switched the hot congee he was carrying in his right hand to his left hand, which was holding the umbrella. He reached out and patted her shoulder, tentatively asking, "Sie?"

This time, the girl finally showed a slight reaction.

She stiffly turned her neck. Upon seeing Ren Yu's face, her pupils widened slightly.

It's him!

For some reason, the tears Sie had been holding back suddenly flowed out, like a bursting dam.

Like a startled deer, she lunged at Ren Yu, burying her head in the folds of his clothes and sobbing, "No one can see me... no one can touch me... Am I, am I abandoned by this world?"

Sie gripped Ren Yu's arm tightly, her body trembling violently.

She seemed extremely afraid, afraid that Ren Yu, the only existence who could observe and touch her, would also disappear.

Unknowingly, the grip on Ren Yu's arm grew even tighter.

Ren Yu endured the pain from his arm without a word and replied, "No, at least I can still see you. You still have me."

"!!"

Hearing this, Sie's heart trembled. An indescribable feeling suddenly appeared within her.

That's right, he hasn't forgotten me yet.

At this moment, Sie felt the entire world regain its color.

Pitter-patter...

Raindrops continuously hit the umbrella. Some raindrops that weren't covered splashed onto Sie's body, her hands, and her exposed calves.

It felt cool.

Sie froze. She slowly lifted her head from Ren Yu's chest and looked at everything around her in disbelief.

At this moment, she could even feel the touch of the raindrops!

Why was this? She hadn't been able to touch these things just moments ago.

She had been ignored until just now.

Sie sobbed, her voice choked with tears, "Thank you... thank you..."

At this moment, the boundless sorrow in her heart transformed into gratitude towards Ren Yu.

The noisy rain and thunder, which Sie had previously disliked, now seemed to have turned into beautiful music.

So, there was someone who cared about her, someone who could notice her.

It was truly wonderful.

Rarely, even the other "Sie" was silent this time, not coming out to cause trouble.
