After the Herrscher of Corruption incident, St. Freya High School welcomed its first peaceful weekend.
There was no Cocolia plotting her conspiracies, nor were there any old-timers left over from the Previous Era thinking about how to destroy the world.
But young Brian, who should have been doing whatever he wanted in the Valkyrie dorms, had to check into the Far East Branch's infirmary.
"Here, eat some more. This is good for your body."
The long, violet-haired girl had a gentle face, which made the white furball nearby green with envy.
At this time yesterday, the two S-rank Valkyries of the Immortal Blades, under the orders of Schicksal Overseer Otto Apocalypse, came to confirm the situation of the Key of Corruption, Jizo Mitama.
Including these two supervisors, everyone tried to use this Divine Key, but in the end, no one could use it normally except for Brian.
And orders from above are hard to disobey, and Schicksal is a military organization.
Brian successfully used the power of Jizo Mitama in front of everyone, but he also paid a heavy price for it.
It was said to be an act, but the mischievous Herrscher lady still hit him with a big one, sending him directly to the Far East Branch's medical department.
Fortunately, he wasn't alone. He had his gentle and beautiful girlfriend to take care of him.
"Mei, I'm already full."
Goji berries, red dates, longan...
Who knows where Raiden Mei learned the recipe, but she actually cooked him a pot of super nourishing congee.
His stomach was about seventy percent full, but his little head was already saying it was one hundred and twenty percent full.
If he ate any more, something bad would happen.
Before Raiden Mei could speak, Kiana, who was leaning against the door, spoke up first: "Mei, since he's not eating anymore, can I have the rest of the congee?"
This was the congee that her personal cook had been preparing ingredients for since the day before, and only finished cooking this morning.
Regardless of the sweet and sour taste, just for the heartfelt effort, Kiana couldn't allow herself to miss out.
However, Raiden Mei just glanced at the white furball: "Kiana, I'll prepare your meal for you. You can't drink this bowl of congee."
Super nourishing congee shouldn't be drunk casually. Raiden Mei was afraid that Kiana would have some problems after drinking it and cause some trouble.
"..."
The white-haired girl's face fell.
Like a husky left behind during a move.
Such an oblivious third wheel stood there, completely ruining the atmosphere.
Raiden Mei's brows knitted, her gaze leisurely: "Kiana, have you decided what you want to eat tonight?"
"No."
The white furball shook her head. "As long as it's made by Mei, I'll like it."
The opportunity to get rid of the third wheel had just arrived.
"Alright then, go to the market outside St. Freya High School and help me buy some ingredients. Remember to get some extra."
"What do I need to buy?"
"I'll send it to you later. I'll make you something delicious tonight."
The scheming young lady, with just a few words, had the white furball wrapped around her finger.
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
The third wheel left, so naturally they could talk about things that were not convenient to say in front of outsiders.
Young Brian held Raiden Mei's slender hand and saw the bandage on her finger: "Mei, thank you for your hard work."
Culinary skills require years of accumulation, and in this process of growth, scars are inevitable.
This scar was because of him, filled with the girl's affection for him.
"Does it hurt?"
"Don't worry, the wound has already healed, and it's not infected."
The bandage was new and there were no signs of moisture; it was clear that Raiden Mei had not neglected her own body.
Holding Raiden Mei's slender hand, the warm and moist feeling was like a piece of warm jade flowing in his hand.
If it weren't for some unspeakable presence watching in the dark, Brian might have put the girl's slender fingers in his mouth and left a mark.
Without Kiana here as a third wheel, the conversation between the two became much more open.
"How have you been feeling at the academy these past two days? No one's been bullying you, right?"
Although she had Murata Himeko and Theresa's care, it didn't mean she wouldn't encounter things similar to what happened at Senba Academy in a new environment.
All-girls schools are full of drama, with female bullying accounting for 100% of it.
Especially after he, the only male at St. Freya High School, appeared, it would make Raiden Mei, who had announced her status, the target of hostility from other girls.
Female competition is sometimes just that unreasonable.
Not just between classmates and peers, some mothers who have lost their minds will even compete with their own daughters.
Raiden Mei squeezed Brian's broad hand in return, her smile gentle and relaxed: "No, although I'm not very familiar with everyone yet, compared to them at Senba Academy, they are already very friendly."
The female competition in the class was nothing, and those wild bees and butterflies attracted by Brian were no threat.
In Raiden Mei's eyes, although her competitors were few in number, each one of them posed a huge threat.
Teacher Himeko, Kiana, Bronya, Rita...
These were her rivals, each wanting to steal a taste of her cream.
"That's good."
The topic changed: "Mei, Kiana isn't here now. I have a gift I want to give you."
The girl's watery eyes lit up: "I'm looking forward to it."
From getting to know each other to confirming their relationship, and from then until now, this man hadn't given her a single gift.
She thought he was just clueless, but it turned out he was preparing a surprise.
However, the girl hadn't been happy for long.
"For this gift, you need to go get a nurse's uniform first."
Raiden Mei: "..."
The girl's gaze shifted downwards, to a certain part that couldn't be described in detail.
Her delicate face was instantly filled with a delicate crimson, and even her delicate earlobes became rosy and alluring.
Hospital, ward, bed, uniform, lone man, lone woman...
No wonder her mind was racing. The combination of these elements was one of the classic series full of Far Eastern flavor... the hospital series!
The beautiful girl with a racing mind was reminded of the little movies she had been secretly watching in bed these past two days.
Angel of Hospice Care.
What to do?
The cream she had been wanting to eat was so close, but when it came to the step where she had to take the initiative, Raiden Mei was full of hesitation.
Going from 0 to 1 is easy, but increasing from 0 to 1 is a psychological hurdle.
The girl's earlobes were bright red, her beautiful lips trembled, unable to speak.
She didn't want to refuse, but she was also too shy to agree.
Suddenly...
"Hah! Coward!"
A cold and aloof version of her once again mocked her for this weakness.
"Since it's yours, just go and take it. Why do you need to care about others' opinions?"
Raiden Mei, who was looking down, lifted her head again. Her magnificent violet, glassy eyes had turned into domineering vertical purple-red pupils, and her delicate face was filled with a sharp intensity.
Her small, pink tongue lightly licked her beautiful lips, and her captivating gaze carried a strong sense of aggression.
Inside her mind, the caught-off-guard Raiden Mei finally reacted: "My other self, don't go too far."
The only response she got was an exceptionally domineering voice: "Don't worry, the first bite is mine, you definitely won't miss out on the second."
I'll take the pleasure, you can have the fulfillment.
The Herrscher of Thunder believed her division of labor was very clear.
The girl stood up and pressed their intertwined hands onto the white bedsheet.
A moment ago, young Brian, the Inner World Protagonist, was the hunter, and the weak, pitiful, and timid Raiden Mei was the prey.
Now, the strong and domineering Herrscher of Thunder was the hunter, and young Brian, with nothing but his own body to offer, was the prey.
Fortunately, the only thing that could console him was that Raiden Mei's underwear didn't match, so it could barely be considered that he had slept with her.
Hot take: matching underwear means the man was slept with; non-matching underwear means the woman was slept with.
Uniform for fun?
Not needed!
A day of spring breeze passed.

"I wonder what delicious food Mei will make for me tonight?"
"Hehehe~~"
Kiana Kaslana, carrying a large pile of ingredients with Bronya, moved as if in an unmanned territory, freely entering and exiting the Far East Branch's gate as if it didn't exist.
Although Kiana hadn't been here long, this 'Branch Head's big niece' had already become famous throughout the Far East Branch.
Her natural Kaslana brute strength, her large appetite that required six extra burgers for dinner, and her obviously dumb-looking face...
In short, without a clear prohibition from Theresa, and for some confidential facilities, Kiana could almost come and go as she pleased within the Far East Branch.
Beside Kiana, Bronya, who was as always exploiting the precious labor of Project Bunny, glanced at this silly white furball, her small mouth holding a meaningful tone: "Kiana, is sister Mei with that guy alone right now?"
"When I left, Mei was feeding that guy congee."
"..."
Eating congee, huh...
Bronya didn't even need to search online for the effects of the ingredients in that pot of congee to feel a phantom pain of her whole body heating up.
The reason was simple: it was too nourishing!
Either the top or the bottom would have to bleed.
"Aren't you afraid that something you don't want to see will happen between them?"
Kiana's expression froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal: "Bronya, your thoughts are a bit H."
"Mei and that guy have been alone together more than once. If they were going to do those things, they would have done them already."
In order to better vanquish the Blondie, she had diligently studied up on sex education and the special tutorials from the Far East's special-effects teachers.
Forgot the beginning, forgot the end.
In short...
That kind of thing usually takes a very short time, you can even complete a billion-dollar transaction in the time it takes to go to the bathroom.
There's nothing you can't imagine, only things you can't do.
And in her eyes, although she jokingly called Brian 'Blondie', he didn't have the powerful abilities of an anime blondie.
He had stolen Mei from her, but her good Mei hadn't let him get to the final step yet.
If he had gone all the way, he would have unlocked that achievement long ago.
So...
"Relax, I will definitely get my Mei back."
Bronya: "..."
Whatever makes you happy.
You're applying common sense to a man who can make a Herrscher and a Pseudo-Herrscher reach climax. That in itself is a mistake.
Bronya said no more and followed Kiana to transport the ingredients back to their dorm.
The two opened the empty refrigerator door, preparing to put all the ingredients away neatly.
Just then...
Bzz Bzz Bzz—!
Her phone vibrated.
Kiana took out her phone and looked: "It's Mei."
She probably figured that the ingredients she had asked her to prepare earlier were not comprehensive enough, so she was calling to ask her to prepare more.
Kiana answered the call.
"Mei, is there anything else you need me to prepare?"
On the phone screen, the personal cook Kiana had been dreaming of was disheveled, her delicate face flushed crimson.
If it weren't for the fact that Raiden Mei's upper body clothes were intact, just slightly messy from movement, Kiana would have almost thought she had become the cuckolded party receiving the call.
"Mmm."
"Kiana, I... remembered some things I need you to prepare."
The green plants on the balcony shone with a verdant color under the sun, illuminating the white-haired girl's head.
Kiana patted her chest, happy to be needed by Raiden Mei once again: "Mei, whatever it is, just tell me!"
It was just simple manual labor. Kiana didn't think there was any problem at all.
Although the existence of Honkai and Schicksal was not public knowledge, the location of the Far East Branch was not some isolated island.
Outside St. Freya High School, there was a bustling commercial street; near the Far East Branch, there was also a large market opened by Schicksal.
For Kiana, it was just another outlet for her energy, just another trip.
Besides...
As long as she worked hard, she could gradually improve her position in Mei's heart, until she won back her personal cook!
Kiana firmly believed this, convinced that her sincere heart would definitely move Raiden Mei.
"Mmm~~"
Raiden Mei's long nasal sound came from the phone's speaker.
The long, violet-haired girl's fingers trembled slightly as she fiddled with the hair by her ear, making Kiana can't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Although she didn't know why.
But today's Mei, and this gesture of Mei's, was really... so seductive!
She wanted to hug Raiden Mei's long, black-stockinged legs and give them a good Prpr.
So amazing!
As the white-haired girl's thoughts wandered, Raiden Mei's reproachful voice suddenly sounded: "Kiana, you're having improper thoughts about me again!"
Her gaze was like water, making Kiana's heart skip a beat.
For some reason, she felt that today's Mei was particularly alluring, making one want to pounce on her.
But Kiana also knew that the current Raiden Mei had not yet accepted heretical and rebellious ideas. Preventing her from going to the Western Paradise to obtain the true essence was a victory in itself.
"No, no, I was just thinking about what to have you make for dinner."
Raiden Mei rolled her eyes flirtatiously, seeming to believe Kiana's words: "Mmm, okay, I'll believe you this time."
Time was precious. She had other things to deal with after giving Kiana instructions, so she had to be quick.
"Kiana, go out later and buy some onions, pepper, beef and mutton fat, and some seasonal vegetables."
"Remember to buy a lot. When Brian is discharged from the hospital, we'll invite the Principal and the others for a good get-together."
"..."
Buy so much?
Kiana looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator, then did a quick calculation and felt that Raiden Mei was preparing an unusual amount of ingredients this time.
"Mei, are we preparing too much this time?"
"We're preparing for a banquet, so of course we have to prepare more."
Raiden Mei rolled her eyes again, almost losing her breath from being angered by Kiana.
Kiana continued: "If we buy so many things, the refrigerator won't be able to fit them all. It'll be a mess to clean up if things burst out all over the floor."
Raiden Mei: "It's fine. As long as we close the refrigerator door tightly, once the fresh-keeping compartment gets used to this much, we won't have to worry."
"And even if the top part can't fit, we can always put it in other places."
The white furball nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "You're so smart, Mei."
"..."
Raiden Mei rolled her eyes flirtatiously once more.
She seemed to remember something else and continued to add: "Oh, right, also remember to bring back a dozen yogurts and a bag of flour."
"When you get the flour, don't be as forceful as last time. If the packaging bursts, it's easy to get it all over your face, and it becomes sticky and hard to clean when it gets wet."
"Remember not to buy the original flavor yogurt. The original flavor doesn't taste very good, it's very astringent and fishy, the taste is very bad; after you bring it back, remember not to put it upside down, otherwise the yogurt inside might leak out because it's not sealed properly, making a mess from top to bottom all over the refrigerator."
The white-haired girl nodded repeatedly: "I got it, Mei!"
"Leave these things to me!"
The white furball was full of fighting spirit, determined to give her all for her Raiden Mei.
This time, she would definitely win back Raiden Mei's heart.
On the phone screen, Raiden Mei finally let out a long sigh of relief: "As long as you know. Remember, if the refrigerator compartment can't fit it, just put it somewhere else. We still have a lot of undeveloped space in our dorm."
"No problem, leave it all to me!"
Kiana patted her chest in assurance that she would handle things beautifully.
She called out to her companion: "Bronya, I'll have to trouble you again this time."
The silver-grey haired Russian loli finally had a presence.
From her angle, she could just see the green plant on the balcony misaligned to be on Kiana's head, glowing a verdant green under the sunlight.
Kiana Kaslana... you big brain.
Never mind, sometimes ignorance is a bliss.
"Let's go, together. Let's prepare more this time."
...
Principal's Office...
The cute, charming, and dignified Principal turned off the captivating infirmary surveillance, patted her delicate little face, and finally managed to shift her attention back to work before her eyes went sore.
Several medical reports were laid out in front of her, making her frown.
Raiden Mei, Kiana, Bronya, Brian, and Murata Himeko.
The first few were in good condition.
Only one person made her worry sick.
"Himeko's time... is running out."
...
