Before Kiana could ask questions or beg for mercy, Mei Raiden came over with a tea tray and handed each of them a cup of black tea.
The relaxing morning tea time made Kiana forget the threat, and she soon collapsed on the sofa, becoming so comfortable that she forgot everything else.
"Kiana, don't be so soft. You don't sit properly."
"Oh, it's just that Mei's tea and cookies are so fragrant. What does it matter? It's the weekend anyway."
"You!"
Mei Raiden smiled helplessly and reached out to brush the cookie crumbs off Kiana's collar. Then, she looked at the two people enjoying their tea and didn't ask about what happened just now, but just drank her tea in silence.
As long as the atmosphere is harmonious, nothing else matters.
Holding the teacup, Jiko looked at Raiden Mei's virtuous wifely demeanor, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
It's bad enough that he's been targeted by a little slut like Kiana, but now he's starting to be indecisive. For someone as honest and strong as Raiden Mei, who knows what will happen to her in the future.
"Come to think of it, Angie and Bronya said they were going to exchange techniques, but we don't know where they went, and the squad leader doesn't know where he's training either. Otherwise, it would be nice to send them some snacks."
Mei Raiden suddenly said with regret.
Jizi blinked her eyes, putting aside her sympathy, and another thing came to her mind. She put down the teacup, hesitated for a moment, and said in a heavy tone:
"Theresa told me that she has not received Angie's application to review Changkong City's files. I think it's unlikely that Angie doesn't know about her promotion until now."
This is the notification you will receive when you log into the Destiny intranet. Who else but Kiana would have been unaware of this for so long?
Kiana's expression froze - she couldn't tell them that she had told Angie about the promotion as soon as she was on the road. She would definitely be spanked by the furious Himeko, and Mei would help pass the cane, right?
Mei Raiden did not notice Kiana's change. She just pondered for a moment, raised her head, and gave Himeko a gentle smile.
"Then let's keep it this way."
"Perhaps, the longer it is delayed, the more intense the outbreak will be."
"But Angie wants to keep the status quo, doesn't she?"
"..."
Ji Zi was speechless.
This is a truth that everyone can understand.
An Qi's silence showed that she was unwilling to disrupt the status quo.
And who would have the heart to force her?
Raiden Mei lowered her head, stroking the warm teacup, and said:
"For Angie, Saint Freya is her second home, and we are her new family. She likes it here... so we will stay with her until she wants to face it. And no matter what she does at that time, we will also... accompany her, that's all. I am ready."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sizzling sound from the tea, and a clear flash of lightning was seen on the water surface.
Himeko and Kiana sat up straight immediately. They knew what it meant to have no Valkyrie armor or weapons that could produce lightning, and they knew what it meant to have such a phenomenon.
Mei Raiden lowered her head, but recalled the night when she learned that Angel had been promoted to A-rank.
……
"This is the first time you have come to me so calmly. Are you no longer afraid?"
"How is it possible not to be afraid?"
Mei Raiden smiled bitterly in the darkness.
She has always been a very passive person.
Becoming Kiana's friend, becoming a Valkyrie, and even having a bomb installed in her heart were all pushed by others. She just went with the flow and came to Saint Freya.
Such a Raiden Mei would of course be extremely afraid of the power that destroyed Changkong City and try to avoid it.
"But I have to give An Qi an explanation, and I have to give Changkong City... an explanation."
Even though Mei Raiden is so passive and even weak, she can actually change.
Anqi's existence reminded her of her responsibilities.
Delta's actions in calming down the disturbances in the East China Sea and protecting countless people along the coast of the East China Sea have proven that the power of a Herrscher can also be used for protection.
Walter Yang taught her through words and deeds that the key to overcoming the instinct of a Herrscher is to find the one she loves.
It was all destined that she would come here one day, just as she did in the original world line.
"Keep going, and you won't be able to turn back."
"No, Kiana is waiting for me, Angie is waiting for me, and everyone else... I want to overcome all of this, instead of destroying everything like Changkong City did."
“Does this make sense? Is it worth it?”
"I have no choice, just like Angie has no choice either."
Mei Raiden still doesn't know how to face Angie when she knows the truth, and she doesn't dare to imagine what the situation will be like at that time. But she knows that she, who is weak and evades responsibility, cannot protect Angie, let alone face her.
Before that, what she can do, what she must do is to transform this power that destroys everything into a power that protects everything.
"You...really want to do this?"
"I have made up my mind."
Mei Raiden smiled and wiped her tears. The light released from her tears illuminated her dark spiritual world.
What happened afterwards was exactly the same as what happened in the other timeline.
Mei Raiden is the perfect body that best matches the power of the Herrscher. She is not like Wendy who fell into darkness, nor like Kiana who had to fight against the remnant of Sirin, nor like Bronya and Fu Hua who had to go through twists and turns. When she decided to take this step, she became the perfect Herrscher of Thunder.
Mei Raiden: Help me, my other self!
Herr's Personality: There's really nothing I can do about you.
Then, silently, Raiden Mei transformed.
……
"How could you?"
"I just don't think it's necessary to publicize it. No matter what, I am still the Raiden Mei that everyone knows, that's all."
Thunder and lightning bud clothes Daphne ︽If you bluffChu Huangtanningteargou Nafangǎ利惗骪 soapg.
Ji Zi stared at her student for a long time, and then, as if a great burden had been lifted off her shoulders, she sighed and smiled:
"You've grown up suddenly, Mei."
"There's a saying that goes, growth sometimes happens in a flash."
The two of them looked at each other with deep emotion, and tenderness was exchanged in their eyes.
And Kiana grasped another point.
I am a girl, Mei is also a girl! I am a Herrscher, Mei is also a Herrscher! How come we are so well matched?
Can others do it?jpg
Kiana held her face with her hands, her thoughts were strange, but she smiled foolishly as if she thought it was okay.
"Hey hey~~"
事假
Someone at home got into trouble, so I went to the police station to get him bail. I ran around until midnight before they released him. I just got home, so I can’t write anymore. I’ll catch up on this weekend. I’m exhausted now. Sorry, good night.

Chapter 225 No Sudden Death
Anna has been quite busy lately.
Mainly, after leaving the construction site, her good friends would come to her every now and then to have a group meal, either in a team or alone. She would run around different areas of the base for three meals a day, and she was really full and really busy.
"Hiccup~~Sister Lisa, I will miss you in the future."
"No! If you go to the combat department, just work hard. Don't come to the construction site to waste your natural strength! I have limited talent. When I took the physical examination, my physical fitness and resistance to collapse were extremely poor. Otherwise, I would also like to be a warrior."
"Really? You're already a construction site supervisor, why are you still thinking about joining the army? Fighting in a war is not fun. I was so scared when I was in Manila. Now I think about it, I really embarrassed the A-level Valkyrie. I hope I can become a qualified Iron Man, otherwise it won't be so easy next time. I'll be sent down from heaven to save the world."
Anna murmured with guilt and worry.
The collapse of Manila was her first time facing a large-scale collapse disaster, and as the deputy captain of the Xuelian team, Anna was very ashamed of her performance. Many times she thought, if she had not encountered the Iron Clan's divine soldiers who descended from the sky at the first time and were safely protected - then she would definitely turn around and flee in fear and panic, abandoning the civilians who needed protection and becoming a shameful deserter, right?
Perhaps this was the inner reason why she liked staying at the construction site. Here, she didn't have to think about how she would be evaluated as a Valkyrie. Here, as long as she worked hard, she could see the East China Sea Base that she had worked for become bigger and more beautiful. It was so simple, yet it directly proved her own value.
Lisa, the foreman who usually took good care of Anna and got along well with her, patted her shoulder with a bright smile:
“哈哈哈！你肯定沒問題的，我相信你！”∑外↗群′2?8≈6!@9∧5％9√3$#^0$7>
"Hey, I'll try my best."
Anna placed one hand on her swollen belly, held her head with the other, and smiled sheepishly.
Lisa continued to smile as she tilted her head back and poured the last gulp of beer from the can down her throat. After putting the can down, her eyes dimmed.
"Do you know why I went for a military medical examination?"
"what?"
"I used to be an ordinary office worker. Every day, I had to endure the disgust of listening to my stupid boss drawing pictures, and then I drew pictures for my subordinates with a guilty conscience. Day after day, I faced a bunch of tiring and meaningless work, and got a salary that seemed okay but actually couldn't do anything... In fact, I was quite happy, after all, I was safe and sound, and I had family and friends. Then the collapse came, and I lost everything I could lose. Except for this life, there was nothing left. It would be strange if I didn't want to be a warrior, right?"
"Sister Lisa..."
Anna's good mood disappeared in an instant, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
"Okay, it's all over. I'm fine. If I hadn't thought it through, would you still see me on the construction site?"
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
"What is there to apologize for? In fact, if you stay longer, you will find that Uncle Hu from the cafeteria sometimes squats on the beach in a daze late at night, thinking about his dead daughter; Brother Yili who guards the construction site occasionally hides from others and buys a bouquet of roses to throw into the sea as a gift to his lover who has gone to another world in advance. People like us generally have two characteristics. One is that we are more or less talented, and the other is that we have lost something in the collapse."
Lisa shook the empty can and smiled, but Anna felt no joy at all.
"Anti-entropy takes in those of us who are unlucky enough to have gone away and become disabled to fight, and those who can't fight also help in other ways. I don't know what other people think, but for me Said, as long as I can destroy Honkai, I can do anything!”
"Sister Lisa, please don't be like this."
"Anna, I know what an A-rank Valkyrie is. Although I don't know how you came to Anti-Entropy, whether it's destiny or Anti-Entropy, we are all here to fight against the Collapse - come on, if you miss the food in the cafeteria, come back anytime, everyone will welcome you!"
Lisa seemed to be drunk. As soon as she finished speaking, she staggered away.
Anna sat there for a while, then stood up and walked to the counter to pay the bill with mixed feelings.
Money is a small matter. Although she has jumped from a top wealthy woman to a professional worker, she has not lost her demeanor of treating money as nothing.
Anna was still thinking mainly about what Lisa had said.
Most of the staff of Anti-Entropy have had a connection with the Collapse, and that is a sad misfortune.
From this point, we can see how many people have been harmed by the collapse and how terrible and abominable it is.
The responsibilities and missions that I had been taught since childhood seemed to suddenly become clear and three-dimensional.
"Anna, you don't have enough money in your card."
"(;° ロ°)huh?"
Anna's realization was only halfway through when she was pulled out by a more severe reality.
Yes, I just spent ahead of schedule last month. Although this month has become a tight squeeze and wages have skyrocketed, it’s not payday yet!
Fortunately, the boss finally waived the bill for her with a smile.
Anna blushed, lowered her head, and walked out of the hotel embarrassed and ashamed.
"Oh!"
Although she didn't see anyone around her, Anna clearly felt that she had bumped into someone. When she looked down, she saw a little girl lying in front of her, her limbs spread out and trembling abnormally, her eyes were in the shape of mosquito coils in a coma, and there were clear dark circles under her eyelids.
Her green curly hair was messy like seaweed and looked like she didn't take care of it often. She was petite like a junior high school or elementary school student, but she was wearing a sailor school uniform with a large white coat on top. She was a little weird, but still cute.
But these are not the main points. The main point is that Anna was horrified to find that the little girl who fainted at her feet began to foam at the mouth.
"Oh my god! I killed someone!!!"
……
Half an hour later, in the living room of Cocolia's house.
