Honkai Impact: I will save everything alone

The other party's tone was very sharp, which frightened the weak Mei so much that she took two steps back and couldn't help but feel like retreating.

However, thinking of the purpose of coming here to meet the other party, she took a deep breath, mustered up the courage, and said:

"...I want to borrow your power to help others."

"You? Borrow mine?"

The purple-haired figure was a little surprising.

Although she has always been hiding deep in Mei's heart, it doesn't mean that she is unaware of what is happening in the outside world.

Rather, although she remained quiet, she was indeed keeping an eye on everything going on in the outside world.

Therefore, she also heard what Mei talked about with Kirataka before she entered the inner world and knew in advance the purpose of Mei's visit.

However, Mei did not ask her to come out as she expected but wanted to gain power from her.

"Well, I think if I want to grow, learning to use the power of the Herrscher is an essential step."

Mei raised her head and told the other party her thoughts.

"…Do you know what you are saying?"

The purple-haired figure said in a playful tone:

"Are you asking for power from an evil Herrscher?"

From a common sense perspective, she and Mei should be enemies fighting against each other.

Mei nodded silently.

"…"

The purple figure was silent for a while and said:

"Forget it. With your current half-baked level, you can't use much of the power of the Herrscher. Give me control of your body and I'll do it."

"Okay... well, I haven't told you what I want you to do yet."

Mei said with some surprise.

She hadn't said anything about what needed to be done.

"Isn't it just about taking care of that human lying on the ground? It's a piece of cake for me."

The purple figure waved her hand impatiently.

"Okay, well, you actually...are concerned about me, right?"

Mei thought about it and said with her head tilted.

Although there were only a few short conversations, the girl who had endured the malice of others for three months could still clearly distinguish one thing:

Although the other party's words were very sharp, they did not contain any malice.

Rather, she just expressing her true thoughts in a rather strange way.

"…Who cares about you? Don't be so self-indulgent!"

The purple figure on the opposite side was stunned for a moment and then, as if to cover up, she loudly refuted:

"I just don't want you, a coward, to mess around and damage this body. After all, we are in the same boat now."

"Well, then... I'll leave it to you."

Mei smiled and said nothing more.

It seems that, just as Kirataka said, she... this other self, representing the personality of the Herrscher, is not as evil as imagined.

Maybe, she can try to communicate with her more in the future.

After she felt relieved, she did not hesitate too much but stepped forward lightly and entered the deepest part of her consciousness.

"...?"

After Mei's consciousness disappeared, the purple figure was stunned for a moment.

'This coward actually exchanged so easily...?'

Sighing, she let her consciousness float up and took over Mei's body.

A moment later, in the classroom, Mei, who had kept her eyes closed, opened them again, and her scarlet eyes replaced the bright purple ones.

At the same time, her entire temperament changed drastically in an instant.

"haven't seen you for a long time?"

Kirataka, who was standing by, looked at the girl who had changed drastically and greeted her tentatively.

"...snort."

The girl snorted coldly, and with a wave of her hand, a long sword appeared in her hand.

She did not draw her sword but directly placed the hilt of the sword against Kirataka's chin. At the same time, she used her whole body to exert a little force and pushed him against the wall.

She is worthy of being the queen of thunder and lightning. She is so powerful as soon as she appears.

However, although Mei was quite tall—if he remembered correctly, she was over 1.7 meters tall—she was still a little short of him as a man.

Therefore, she was forced to look up and stare at him.

"Is this your greeting gift?"

Although he looked like he was threatened at close range, Kirataka showed no fear and just smiled.

"I haven't settled the score with you for what happened last time."

The girl snorted coldly and released the knife handle that was pressing against Kirataka's chin.

Well, what she was referring to was naturally the accident caused by Kiana's baseball bat.

"If necessary, I can give you some compensation."

Kirataka said with a low laugh.

"oh?"

The purple-haired girl raised an eyebrow slightly, waiting for what he would say next.

Kirataka spread his hands and said:

"Look, I'm so poor. If I have to pay you anything, I can only give you myself."

"…Smooth talk!"

The girl blushed slightly, then glared at Kirataka and said viciously:

"It looks like you learned it in that school. I see you're having a great time there, surrounded by beautiful girls wherever you go."

"That's because St. Freya's Academy is basically a girls' school..."

Kirataka said helplessly:

"But you have been hiding inside Mei's body. I can't find you even if I try."

"I don't like this rotten world, so I don't like coming out."

The purple-haired girl answered simply.

Originally, unless Mei or Kirataka encountered some life-threatening situation, she actually had no intention of appearing in the outside world.

Although she was not controlled by the Honkai Will that echoed in her mind at the moment of her birth, the knowledge and concepts that it instilled in her, coupled with the pain and malice that her original self Mei had experienced in the past, made her somewhat disgusted with the outside world and others.

"But there are many interesting places in this world... I think you should go out more often. Maybe Kiana and the others will like you very much."

Kirataka said with a smile.

Although there are only Mei and Lei Lu, a pair of "schizophrenic" and Herrscher now, after a while, there will be no shortage of girls similar to them.

Kiana, Fu Hua, and Bronya, none of them can escape.

Well, it would be more unusual to not have a second personality or the identity of a Herrscher.

"…"

The purple-haired girl was visibly shaken.

Although she expressed disgust, she actually still hoped to have friends.

"We'll talk about it later."

Finally, she responded.

Now, she should finish what Mei asked her to do first.

Then, the purple-haired girl looked at Yuna, who was lying on the ground in pain, and raised her right hand, with a bright purple light emanating from her hand.

"That's her, isn't it?"

............

The other side of Chiba Academy.

Bronya was floating aimlessly among the academies.

She had seen many scenes of corpses and blood since she was a child, so she did not have any special feelings about this scene of hell on earth.

However, at this moment, her usually calm heart felt a little...conflicted.

After receiving a mission from the school principal, she went to Nagazora City, far away from the Far East Branch, to carry out the mission with her two targets, Kirataka and Raiden Mei... This should actually be a good opportunity.

As long as she notifies Cocolia's mother at this time and asks her to send troops over, there is a great chance that they will be captured in one fell swoop.

As long as Mei Raiden can be captured, Cocolia's mother can use her to find a way to find Seele.

She has always been acting towards this goal, but now that the opportunity is right in front of her, the girl is a little hesitant.

It is not simply a consideration of combat effectiveness, but another kind of hesitation on the spiritual level.

Although she didn't live in St. Freya's Academy for a long time, she did feel the warmth as if she was living in an orphanage.

Her contact and life with them made her involuntarily recall the happy life she had with Seele and Rosalia in the orphanage.

For example, that stupid Kiana is probably on par with that stupid Rosalia.

Theresa's care for them also reminds her of Cocolia, the parent.

In short, based on emotional factors, she doesn't really want to capture Raiden Mei and Kirataka now.

"...sigh"

The silver-haired girl sighed softly.

However, if Mei Raiden is not captured, there will be no way for Mother Cocolia to figure out a way to find Seele.

If there were any other options...

The girl was struggling at first, but then her fighting instinct immediately made her cheer up.

——A figure in a black robe suddenly appeared in front of her.

Judging from her body shape, she should be a woman.

What concerned her a little was that the woman in the black robe seemed to have something like some animal's ears on her head.

Uh, are those...donkey ears?

Bronya cautiously summoned Project Bunny, with the muzzle filled with light, guarding against any sudden intruders.

'Who is she?'

'No, I should say, what is she?'

Judging from the amount of Honkai energy detected by Project Bunny, there is a considerable degree of threat. Could she be the new Herrscher born here?

Now, she should inform Kirataka , Raiden Mei, and the others...

Just as Bronya was about to do so, a female voice came from under the black robe and clearly read out her name:

"Ms. Bronya Zaychik."

"...Who are you?"

Bronya stopped touching the communication terminal and questioned.

Her tone was calm; she seemed able to communicate, and she knew her name... Was she prepared?

"Ms. Bronya, my master wants to discuss a deal with you."

"...Transaction? A stranger who suddenly appeared in suspicious clothing, Bronya doesn't think you are trustworthy."

The silver-haired girl flatly refused to continue talking to the black-robed woman in front of her and turned away.

"You won't refuse, Miss Bronya, because..."

Yae Sakura followed Kirataka's instructions and said to the petite girl seriously:

"This transaction is related to your long-lost sister."

"...!"

As expected, Bronya's figure froze in place.

She took some time, turned around with some difficulty, and confirmed with a slightly trembling voice:

"You... you are talking about..."

Bronya no longer had time to consider how the other party knew about Seele. It should be said that now, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will try it.

Just like a drowning person, he will not let go of even a straw around her.

"Yes, I am referring to Miss Seele Vollerei."
