I just traveled to Honkai Impact, but the Valkyries all seem to know me.

Seeing the bad girls leaving in embarrassment after saying harsh words, Mei did not chase them, nor did she even feel angry.

After all, they are telling the truth, aren't they?

Mei stood there for a while, raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky, feeling that what they said was actually no big deal.

probably.

After walking some distance further, Meiyi finally returned to her somewhat cold and unfamiliar home.

"I am back."

Mei Yi's voice echoed in the empty room, and no one responded to her. This was not beyond her expectation. No one would respond to her expectations.

After taking a bath as usual, Meiyi sat on her bed in a daze again.

She felt that her life seemed to be much better, at least she had a few more true friends, right?

Now that life is getting better, you have to work hard to continue living.

So, go to sleep, life will be better tomorrow.

Right, Raiden Mei?

......

"Disgusting! It's disgusting!"

"How come there are people like you alive!"

"Your wealthy life must have come from your father's greed!"

"It's because of people like you that I live such a miserable life!"

"Go to hell!"

"Go to hell!!"

"Go to hell!!!"

......

In the empty and deserted room, the purple-haired girl suddenly opened her eyes.

The girl held her forehead and calmed down for a while before getting up.

Ignoring the cold sweat on her body caused by the nightmare, Mei picked up the kettle and planned to pour herself a glass of water to relieve her mood.

But when I picked it up, I realized that the kettle had been empty for a long time.

Meiyi was stunned for a while, then silently went to the kitchen to get some cold water to heat.

Looking at the messy marks on the stove and the crudely cooked food in the refrigerator.

"...Let's clean up. Tomorrow...I promised to bring breakfast to Kiana."

Thinking of the white-haired girl, Mei finally felt that the darkness around her was no longer so intense.

After briefly tidying up, Mei Yi leaned against the stove and quietly waited for the hot water to boil.

Look at the flashing red light on the water heater.

Mei Yi suddenly thought that humans are indeed creatures that are good at adapting.

How long has passed?

It seemed like only a few days, it seemed like only a few weeks.

Mei doesn't remember clearly, after her father was imprisoned, but before she met the captain.

During that time, Meiyi felt hazy, but it shouldn't last long.

During this short period of time, I adapted to living alone and learned to cook. Although I didn't think it tasted good, probably only Kiana would eat it all out of pity for herself.

If you don't experience it, you may never realize how powerless you are when you are crushed by the fangs of life.

It's so fast that I have adapted to loneliness. Those friends who used to always surround me have probably adapted to the fact that the former eldest lady has fallen into the dust. Their methods of bullying me have become so skilled...

Or perhaps, this is what they are good at, but it is just obscured by the light of the powerful.

Mei Yi took a breath of air. The weather seemed to be a little cold. Listening to the sound of breathing echoing in the room, Mei Yi felt for the first time that the room was too big.

So big...she was a little scared.

Looking at the dark corner, Mei Yi always wondered when a friend with a ferocious face would rush out and hurt her.

pat...

The sound of the water heater heating up hot water was heard, which regained Mei Yi's attention.

After pouring herself a cup of hot water, Meiyi blew the hot air gently.

Holding the glass of water, I planned to go back to the room and continue sleeping. I had classes tomorrow and I still had friends.

The sun always rises and life always goes on.

As long as fate has not abandoned her, Mei Yi can still endure it.

pat...

"Who!!"

The water glass fell to the ground. Mei Yi nervously held a dagger, which was given to her by the captain when they met yesterday. Mei Yi didn't know why the captain gave her this dagger. Maybe it was to encourage Mei Yi's courage. Or maybe it's for something else.

But she never let the dagger leave her body after getting it, perhaps because this dagger really brought her some sense of security.

Mei Yi looked nervously at the dark and empty room. For the first time, she hated why the room was so big. It was so big that...she didn't feel safe at all.

Mei Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and the fingers holding the dagger trembled slightly.

"come out!!"

There was no response, as if the being in the darkness didn't even bother to communicate with her.

Mei Yi's nerves were tense. What was she afraid of?

She didn't know, and no one knew.

She didn't hurt anyone, she didn't resist anyone.

Just when Mei Yi couldn't hold on any longer.

pat...

This time Mei heard it clearly and immediately turned her attention to the direction of the sound.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, evergreen branches were blown gently by the wind.

The sound seemed to be asking the girl it had watched grow up.

What are you afraid of?

pat...

The dagger in Mei Yi's hand fell to the ground.

Mei Yi slid down weakly and sat on her knees on the ground.

Leaning against the cold wall, Mei Yi suddenly picked up the dagger nervously and held it tightly in his hand.

Holding the dagger in front of her chest and looking at the sharp dagger, Mei Yi finally felt a sense of security. Mei Yi looked at the water stains on the ground and muttered to herself.

"What am I afraid of?"

No one responded to her, just like no one wanted to hurt her.

After exhaling, Mei closed her eyes and held the hand holding the dagger tightly against her chest, as if praying, as if she was surrendering.

After a long time, Mei Yi finally seemed to calm down. She silently cleaned up the water stains on the ground and poured herself a glass of water.

After returning to the room, he drank the warm water in one gulp and put the dagger in his hand. Meiyi covered herself with the quilt and slowly fell asleep surrounded by warmth.

This time it seems like a sweet dream?

But at least it's not a nightmare.

Mei Yi didn't know what she was dreaming about and muttered to herself.

"Hug me, Captain."

Chapter 22 Premonition of nightmare

"Good morning, Mei. Judging from your complexion, you didn't have any rest last night, okay?"

After a good night's sleep, Mei packed her backpack and came to the gate of the academy, where she met the captain who was sending Kiana to school.

Looking at the captain and Kiana who greeted her, Mei also greeted them politely with a smile.

"Good morning, Captain, and Kiana."

Facing Mei's greetings, Kiana, who looked numb, turned back and nodded gently to her, then leaned weakly into the captain's arms.

"Well...Captain, I already had a day of school yesterday. Can't you just let me have a good rest at home today?"

Seeing Kiana's tired look, the captain reluctantly pulled her away from him.

"No, learning requires perseverance. How can there be a student like you who spends three days fishing and two days drying nets?"

Although the captain was a little helpless and annoyed at Kiana's appearance of being tired of studying, after all, it was the little one who had finally been raised by his family, and he still had to be pampered.

"How about this? Tomorrow is the weekend. If you attend class at school and listen to the lectures today, how about I take you to play in the city? Then I will bring Mei Yi with me."

"Hey, do I want to go too?"

"Of course, it's fun for everyone to go out together. If Mei has time, come together. Staying at home alone is a bit boring after all."

Hearing the captain suddenly mentioning herself, Mei Yi's face showed a little surprise.

When we go out on weekends, people with close relationships should go together. Am I already so trustworthy in the eyes of the captain?

I feel...a little happy.

Although her inner thoughts were floating, Mei Yi agreed to the captain's invitation with joy.

Kiana, who was still listless in the captain's arms, immediately regained her energy and returned to her original lively self.

Even if she, Kiana, was affected by time regression, she had experienced many things after all, and she was still not tired of studying.

The main reason why she didn't want to go to school was that she didn't want to be separated from the captain. Going to school had almost no effect on her. The academy still had that kind of atmosphere, so how could she want to go.

But since she can hang out with the captain if she goes to school, Kiana will naturally not resist going to school anymore. As for the sarcastic remarks in school, just ignore them.

Seeing Kiana and Mei walking into the campus together, the captain raised his hand and stretched his waist.

Feeling the soreness in his waist, the captain suddenly took a breath and made his own contribution to the warming of the world.

Kiana has recently reached the age of growing taller and taller, but she still likes to fly into her arms like she did when she was a child.

The captain's body is now a bit thin, and no matter how hard she exercises, it is of no use.

This resulted in Kiana throwing herself into her arms once or twice, which was okay, but after too many times, her waist really became unbearable.

After hesitating for a moment, the captain decided to find an opportunity to tell Kiana that she would never fly into his arms again, even if she hugged his lap and cried non-stop.

For the sake of his own health, the captain decided to be cruel.

The captain made up his mind and turned around and started walking towards the girl's home. This morning, the girl's father called to say that the girl was sick, so the captain planned to visit the child who always received unfortunate attention.

After saying hello to the girl's father, the captain entered the girl's room and looked at the girl who was resting on the bed.

Looking at her face, the captain quickly came to a conclusion based on his many years of experience in taking care of Kiana.

It must be indigestion.

In the past, although Kiana was very good at eating, she would occasionally get this disease, so the captain was experienced in this. The girl's indigestion was probably because she ate too much at home yesterday.

The captain looked helplessly at the pale girl, wondering why these children just liked to show off in front of her.

Gently lifting the girl up and leaning on his arms, the captain patiently massaged the acupuncture points on her body, and then looked at the girl's face to judge the effect.

"How's it going? Does your stomach feel better?"

When the girl lying listlessly in the captain's arms heard the captain's words, her cheeks suddenly turned red. After nodding, she buried her face in the captain's arms.

The shyness in her heart always appeared in her heart like her shy temperament, which made the girl couldn't help but think about it in her heart.

The captain's hands were cold and smooth, and felt...somewhat comfortable when touched.
