Chapitre 22: Chapter 22 Raiden Mei
"Kiana is such a glutton," Amane muttered as he kept walking in the direction of the Canteen. "It's my mistake to let Kiana carry our bento box. Who would've thought that she'd eat it behind our backs?" Amane muttered as he giggled.
As he arrived in the Canteen and stood in line to buy food for himself and the others. Even though he could create food using projection, he couldn't resist the temptation of trying the foods in the school.
After buying the food, Amane walked upstairs to the rooftop and saw a familiar figure walking up the stairs. "Raiden-san?" Amane asked as he looked up and saw her white underwear because he was standing downstairs.
"Cafe Manager-san?" Mei asked, recognizing the voice that called out to her.
"It's really you, Raiden-san," Amane replied with a smile. "I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Likewise," Mei replied with a sweet smile. "I didn't know that you're a student here too."
"Well, Kiana's aunt applied for us to come to this school without asking us," Amane replied with a wry smile.
"By us, you mean Kiana and the others are here too?" Mei asked.
"It's only the four of us, Kiana, Luo Yan, and me, as students. And Gu Yuena is a teacher," Amane answered.
"I see. If it's not a bother, can I ask where you're going?" Mei inquired, as the first-year classrooms were on the 2nd floor, and they were already on the 4th floor.
"Oh, the two are on the rooftop, and we're going to eat there. Want to join us?" Amane asked.
"Thank you for inviting me then," Mei answered. As Amane walked next to her, they happily talked with each other. Apparently, Raiden Mei became a regular at their Cafe and got to know Kiana and Chisato. She used to stay at the cafe for girls' night out, saying that it's lonely at home.
"By the way, you're wearing white, huh? How pure," Amane said with a smirk.
Mei tilted her head in question and suddenly remembered their positions. She blushed, covering her face. "MANAGER-SAN! You PERVERT!" Mei shouted as she tried to slap his shoulder, but he dodged her slap and ran upstairs.
"HAHAHA!" Amane laughed as he ran upstairs. "Baka." Mei murmured as she chased after him, but you could notice a sweet smile on her face as she went after him.

As Amane carried a lot of groceries and stored them in his inventory, he looked around and realized it was already night. He found himself alone, walking on an empty street. Out of boredom, he put on his earphones and started listening to music while humming along.
[Insert Song: Ichiban no Takamono]
HUMM~ HMMM~
Amane continued humming as he walked until he felt a presence behind his back and looked back curiously.
There were two girls—one with fair complexion, light blue eyes, and strawberry blonde hair tied into a ponytail, wearing civilian clothes. The other had honey blonde hair, reaching her neck at the back and slightly longer in the front. She had reddish-pink eyes, and her left eye was covered, but she seemed to see just fine. She was dressed in a maid outfit.
"Sorry for disturbing your walk, but can I ask what song you're humming?" the honey blonde girl asked.
"Oh, it's called 'Ichiban no Takaramono.' If you want a copy, why don't I send it to you?" Amane offered, reaching for his phone.
The honey blonde girl raised an eyebrow but showed him her phone, despite the possibility of him trying to get her number.
Amane felt a bit embarrassed and looked at the futuristic phone, not knowing what to do. "It's embarrassing to admit, but is it alright if you teach me how to send files?" he asked.
The girl giggled at his embarrassed face but still taught him how to send files. "Thank you for the song. I'm Rita Rossweisse." she introduced herself.
"Likewise, thank you for teaching, and I'm Fujimiya Amane," Amane replied. As he was about to leave, the blond-haired girl suddenly grabbed his hands and asked, "Did we meet in the past?" She held his arm.
Amane tilted his head, trying to remember her, but he noticed a familiar feeling within her. "Say, are you related to Kiana?" Amane asked, sensing a similar genetic connection to Kiana when he used tracing.
It might not be obvious, but Kiana's bloodline was special, and the fact that the blonde-haired girl had similar genes to Kiana surprised him.
The blond girl opened her eyes wide but didn't know how to answer. She had no knowledge of having any relatives or memories of the past that could explain the connection to Kiana. "I don't know, but your presence feels familiar. I don't know what it is, but it feels like it's a similar feeling to my mom or dad. I just can't be sure," she said uncertainly.
"Ah, just as I thought! Maybe you are her sister. I remember her aunt saying the same thing, that my presence was similar to her mother," Amane said, confirming his thoughts. "So, do you want to meet her or not?" he asked, waiting for her answer while also wondering about the reason behind Kiana's family being messy.
"Also, if you are just curious to see her, you're lucky that we own a café, so you are free to visit any time," Amane said as he gave her a smile.
She smiled upon hearing that and nodded her head in agreement. Rita, on the other hand, simply listened to the conversation between the two, but she remained suspicious in the end. "I'm Bianka Ataegina," she introduced herself.
Amane nodded and offered a handshake. The moment she held his hand, she immediately sensed his strength.
Snow began to fall in the street, catching the attention of the three. They looked up at the sky, mesmerized by the beautiful sight.
As they walked, Amane noticed the snow falling around them. Bianka and Rita followed closely behind him.
"He's strong," Bianka whispered to Rita, sharing her observation.
"I'm going to ask about his information from Schicksal," Rita whispered back, glancing at Amane's back.
Amane couldn't help but smile wryly because he could easily hear their conversation.
Because they were close to the cafe, it only took them about 15 minutes to arrive.
"AMANE! YOU'RE BACK!" Kiana shouted as she jumped on Amane, almost making them lose their balance.
Bianka looked at Kiana, feeling something strange, but she chose to ignore it and continued to observe.
"They are?" Kiana asked, looking at Bianka and Rita.
Amane glanced at them, waiting for Bianka to answer. "A Customers," Amane said, noticing that Bianka wasn't responding.
Kiana nodded and quickly took their orders as Amane went to the counter next to Artoria, who was serving other customers.
Amane thought it would be a good idea to enroll Artoria in Senba High and have her work at the cafe to help her understand emotions and read the atmosphere better.
Suddenly, a little girl with white hair, similar to Kiana's, barged in. "What the heck is this? I thought magical girls always had a happy ending," she sulked as she showed Amane what happened to Madoka, Mami, and Homura. "Eh? Durandal? Rita? What are you doing here?" Theresa asked, looking at Bianka and Rita, who tilted their heads in response.
"Theresa-sama, are you here to escape from your work?" Rita asked, responding with a sweet smile. "Hmm, this is delicious. Can I know the recipe, Amane-san?" Rita asked, looking at Amane. However, Amane shook his head and refused to give her the recipe.
"No, I'm here to watch over my niece," Theresa answered, annoyed by Rita's smile.
"What a letdown. But I won't give up until you give me the recipe. I'm a stubborn girl, after all," Rita said, licking her lips in a seductive way.
"Good luck seducing him, he already has girlfriends," Theresa responded, drinking her milky coffee, her behavior childlike despite her age.
Amane smiled and greeted Amou and Luo Yan as they arrived at the front door, with Luo Yan looking a bit disheveled from their activities. Amou, on the other hand, had a happy smile on her face.
Apparently, Luo Yan had asked Amou for a spar and Amou taught her various fighting styles, including how to awaken her martial spirit. Luo Yan's martial spirit was connected to the space element, but despite her abilities, she couldn't land a hit on Amou and couldn't make Amou use her martial spirit from the start.
"How was the spar?" Amane asked as he handed a towel to Luo Yan, who had disheveled clothes after their sparring session inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
"Thank you," Luo Yan said as she expressed her gratitude to Amane, covering herself as her clothes had several tears from the intense spar.
"She has a bright future ahead of her. She learned many things at a fast rate," Amou answered with a maniacal grin, causing Luo Yan to shiver from the sight of Amou's smile.
Bianka glanced at Amou and muttered, "She's strong." Rita was the only one who heard her.
Rita wondered which faction they came from, but considering that Theresa was here, she assumed they were members of Saint Freya's Academy.
