[I look forward meeting you next time, a visitor with a bad fate but unexpected good luck.]
The existence called Control Consciousness left a meaningful message and disappeared into the wonderful space.
Standing at the entrance of the alley, Kiana covered her eyebrows and looked down at the small box in front of her, featuring the famous mascot, a yellow grass-knotted rabbit, Homu, printed on it.
The presence of the reward box in front of her made her understand that everything she had experienced before was not a dream, but reality.
And this also meant:
"Honkai Eruption..." Kiana glanced at the hurried people driving on the road and walking on the street not far away. She muttered this name, which represents misfortune. "We must find Mei-senpai quickly!"
Kiana knew what she should do next and quickly picked up the Homu box in front of her, rushing to Senba Academy, where Mei was.
Even though she was tired and hungry, there was no time for her to rest. Although she knew that the city would explode through that strange space, she didn't know where or when it would start. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe it won'thappen for ten days or half a month. Or maybe it will explode in the next moment?
The sun set in the west, and the afterglow of the sunset spread over the largest and most famous aristocratic girls' school in Nagazora City, Senba Academy.
School was about to end.
From a high place, one could see groups of students walking together, laughing as they exited the campus.
Sitting on the edge of the roof of the teaching building was Mei, wearing a standard academy uniform. She looked at all this with a gloomy expression.
She was originally the daughter of the president of the ME Club, the daughter of the ME Club.
But after ME Club president Raiden Ryoma was declared guilty of corruption not long ago, her status plummeted.
After that, all the people who used to surround her disappeared.
The surroundings of Mei became deserted as a result.
However, she didn't really care about this contrast.
As the daughter of the ME Club, although she had not had much contact with the ME Club because of her father, Mei knew very well that those who approached her before probably gathered for her reputation as the daughter of the ME Club. Letting those people with ulterior motives leave was fine with her.
However, what Mei could not let go of was the fact that her father was corrupt.
In her impression, her father was always so great and upright; it was impossible for him to be related to a bad thing as corruption. However, the ironclad fact told Mei that the father she admired and trusted was indeed a criminal.
"Father..." Mei felt a little sad, and at the same time, she couldn't understand why.
Even if she had no contact with her father's ME Corporation, she could know what kind of giant ME Corporation her father controlled through what she had read in newspapers and on TV in the past.
Technology, livelihood, finance...
The ME Corporation, involved in several fields, could be called the uncrowned first consortium in the Far East.
However, the father who controlled this giant was actually imprisoned for corruption.
"Mei-senpai, I finally found you!"
A familiar voice came from behind. Mei looked at the white-haired girl who was breathing heavily and looked very anxious, stunned. "It's you, Kiana," she spoke, frowning.
With a beautiful eyebrow, Mei looked at the girl who unexpectedly broke into her life and was in a hurry.
She couldn't help but feel a little curious. "What's the matter?"
Although she hadn't spent a long time with this girl from another place, they had a good relationship. Kiana often came to her place to eat. This kind of hurry was the first time she had seen it.
"That box... So you like Homu?" Seeing the Homu logo on the small box held by Kiana, Mei raised her eyebrows, a little surprised. Although Homu is known as the national mascot, she didn't like this strange creature. Not at all.
Kiana was a little speechless about Mei's focus, but she didn't mean to dwell on this topic for too long and instead acted very seriously.
"Mei-senpai, I'm going to tell you something very important next; you must not be afraid."
"Hmm..." Mei was stunned at first. Then, looking at Kiana's serious expression, she immediately understood that this girl, who was usually not serious, might have something important to tell her, so she nodded.
"I have received professional training; I won't be afraid."
Inheriting the family swordsmanship, she had some samurai characteristics; as long as it was serious, she was definitely a serious person.
As for fear... as long as it was not something outrageous, she shouldn't be afraid. Mei thought she was quite brave.
"Okay..." Kiana took a deep breath and explained everything.
After a while, Mei spoke.
"A Honkai Eruption... I am the body of the Third Herrscher... What are these?"
After listening to Kiana's words, Mei was confused. She didn't understand at all.
As a five-star good citizen, she may have been a little better at fighting because of her family's swordsmanship, but she was still within the range of normal people.
But after listening to Kiana's words, why did it feel like the style of this world was heading toward fantasy?
"Ah..." Looking at Mei's confused expression, Kiana slapped her forehead.
She suddenly remembered that she had not told Mei much about the knowledge of Honkai.
"Well... it seems that I have to teach Mei about Honkai first," Kiana thought with a headache.
Fortunately, this was not difficult.
Because Mei was not stupid; her grades could be said to be among the best in Senba Academy.
In addition, the opportunity for Kiana to meet Mei for the first time was related to Honkai creatures, so Mei quickly understood what the so-called Honkai was.
"..." After figuring out what Honkai was, Mei was silent for a moment and spoke faintly, "In other words, this city will soon be destroyed, and the reason has something to do with me?"
"I don't know; at least that's what it told me."
Looking at Mei's expression, Kiana felt a little uncomfortable, but since it was about the whole city, she couldn't be swayed by her emotions.
"It?"
Noticing this name, Mei looked confused.
"Well..." Kiana nodded, and then told Mei about what happened today, one by one.
"...a space for that forces you to answer questions?" Mei raised her eyebrows, puzzled by yet another strange thing.
She looked at Kiana strangely.
Could you really encounter such a bizarre phenomenon just by walking around outside?
Are you really not the child of destiny?
Having not yet completely graduated from her second year of middle school sickness, Mei secretly complained about Kiana's fantastic experiences.
But back to reality.
No matter how outrageous Kiana's experiences were, the information she received was enough to make Mei fall into deep thought.
For a while, she was a little confused.
If the information Kiana received was true, then what should she do?
She looked at the empty space on the rooftop with her eyes filled with sadness.
Mei who had her faith shattered because of her father gradually calmed down.
Perhaps...
