Chapter Fourteen, Raiden Mei, You Crybaby (New Book, Please Add to Favorites)
(It feels so relaxing...)
Raiden Mei looked at the two heads resting on her lap and couldn't help but think to herself.
Kiana is so cute, and Bai Ge is so handsome. I'm so lucky to be friends with them.
The girl's sleeping face was as innocent and angelic as an angel's, a stark contrast to her waking state of quiet elegance, truly deserving of the name 'Goddess of Moonlight'. She was as noble and beautiful as a princess in a story.
Mei felt slightly ashamed of herself.
The boy's sleeping face made it impossible for Mei to look away. His delicate and handsome features, like a prince in a fairy tale, and his slightly furrowed brows, as if he was troubled by something, made Raiden Mei very concerned and attentive.
The midday sun shone on them, making every strand of their white hair seem to glow.
With Bai Ge and Kiana's looks, they could easily outshine 99% of the world's population.
Mei felt that the art style had changed at that moment, as if her eyes had been pampered.
(Um, isn't this scene a bit too sacred? These two are so quiet and... so beautiful? Are there two angels lying on my lap?)
Mei took a deep breath and carefully raised her hand to place it on the heads of the two girls, gently stroking their hair. The corners of the girl's lips unconsciously curled up.
(I wish this time could last forever.)
Time seemed to slow down at that moment, and Mei's thoughts began to wander.
While stroking the two white furry balls on her legs, she pondered about the two of them.
(Speaking of which, both Bai Ge and Kiana give me a mysterious feeling.)
(They know about my story, but I don't know much about theirs yet.)
( Where does Kiana come from? She's so mysterious. Sometimes she has extra wounds on her body.)
( Bai Ge is unbelievable. Is he from China? And... he seems to be busy with some things I don't know about lately.)
At that moment, Raiden Mei suddenly realized that she was not at all unfamiliar with these two people.
All she knew was that they were kind, brave, lively, cheerful, and didn't care much about what others thought, but she knew nothing else about them.
and...
As Mei quietly gazed at the two people on her lap, she suddenly realized how alike they were: the same white hair, the same cheerfulness, the same mystery.
( Bai Ge and Kiana look so well-matched...)
Before Kiana arrived, the boy's gentleness seemed to belong only to Mei.
However, when Kiana arrives, Mei discovers that the boy is not the prince who belongs only to her.
Rather, it seems that Bai Ge's attitude towards Kiana is more... indulgent than his attitude towards her?
(No, that's not right. What am I thinking? Bai Ge never belonged to me. It's so arrogant of me to think like that. We were just a fake couple.)
(I'm only accepting the protection he provides, so I can't be greedy for more.)
(This is good, this is good. I've made a real friend for the first time, and I have someone I care about for the first time. I should cherish these two joys.)
Mei shook her head violently, as if trying to shake all the thoughts out of her mind. However, just as she was thinking about quickly adjusting her mindset...
[ Raiden Mei, is that really what you think?]
Suddenly a female voice appeared in her mind.
[Don't you really want to have Bai Ge all to yourself? Don't you really want him to be your prince alone? Yes, you're just a weak crybaby, Raiden Mei, you can't do anything.]
It was the same female voice as Mei's, but the tone was so high and mighty, so ruthless and indifferent, like a proud queen.
[snort!]
Mei was startled.
Thinking it was someone's prank, she quickly turned around to look around, but the queen-like voice only hummed again and then disappeared.
"Yes, am I hallucinating? How strange."
Mei breathed a slight sigh of relief, but when she looked down at the sleeping Bai Ge again, a sense of guilt welled up in her heart for some reason.
At that very moment.
"Creak~~"
There was a noise coming from the iron gate on the rooftop.
She keenly sensed a subtle presence.
"Who's there? Come out!" Mei shouted in a volume that wouldn't wake Bai Ge and Kiana.
Although her personality is somewhat weak now, Mei has still mastered the Raiden family's katana technique, Hokushin Itto-ryu, to the point that everyone can learn it.
Their five senses are more acute than those of ordinary people.
"!!!"
Unexpectedly, their presence was discovered, as several girls appeared from the stairwell.
These people had grim expressions, especially when they looked at the two people lying on Mei's lap, which showed great fear.
Even so, he still didn't hold back with his words.
"Hmph, daughter of a fraudster, how much longer do you plan to stay in school?"
"Don't think that finding two people to help you will change your current situation."
"Although they seem to get along quite well, who knows what these two are doing playing these friend games with you for? Otherwise, what right does someone like Raiden Mei have... Waaaaah!"
Before the man could finish speaking...
A baseball bat and a brick flew towards these people.
This immediately terrified the girls who had just been verbally abusing Raiden Mei, causing them to scream in terror.
"You bunch of guys are bullying Mei again!"
"I warned you, didn't I? It seems the previous lessons were too lenient."
" Bai Ge, Kiana..."
Raiden Mei looked at the two who had suddenly woken up with surprise, wondering where they had hidden the brick and baseball bat.
But seeing Bai Ge and Kiana so angry because of her, Raiden Mei was very moved, and her gaze towards them softened.
[Hmph, what a crybaby...]
