Capítulo 8: Chapter 8: No Way, Right?
Among the students of St. Freya Academy, Raiden Mei was a dazzling presence. Unlike other students, she had more or less some quirks, but as a student, one could say she was perfect.
I won't be satisfied. I'll take the initiative to find him!
Raiden Mei: During the next holiday, I can go to Longsky City with Kiana. I can accompany Kiana while also looking for clues about that man. It's killing two birds with one stone.
Both girls had their own thoughts, but their goals were surprisingly consistent – to find Lu Yu!
At the same time, Lu Yu, sitting on his bed and playing mobile games, suddenly felt a chill down his back. He felt like he was being watched by something, and it didn't seem to be just one thing?
Personality gentle and kind, appearance beautiful, she is also very enthusiastic towards classmates and friends. When it comes to her studies, she is diligent and hardworking. In the whole academy, only a few girls, like Raiden Mei, participate in training early every day.
Kiana Kaslana, the lively and active beauty, is completely different from Raiden Mei. She is a typical free-spirited person who grew up with Siegfried, her father, and shares a similar personality with him.
To put it nicely, Kiana's personality is lively and straightforward. To put it bluntly, she has a bit of a tomboyish feel. Compared to Raiden Mei, who possesses perfect feminine charm, Kiana is only on par with her in appearance, while being weaker than her in other aspects of womanhood.
Being late, leaving early, enjoying good food, loving to play around, skipping classes, and refusing training are all common occurrences for Kiana.
However, in recent days, Raiden Mei noticed that Kiana has been behaving unusually, participating in training on time every day and no longer skipping classes or leaving early. While this change should be a good thing for Kiana, as a fellow girl, Raiden Mei sensed that something might be bothering her from the occasional flicker in Kiana's gaze.
Her good friend, her best friend, this lively and energetic classmate Kiana, seemed to have something on her mind.
But even for Raiden Mei, these past few days have been quite eventful. Last night, she once again entered that special space and witnessed the life of "Raiden Mei."
From her perspective, that version of Raiden Mei lived a very fulfilling life. Despite being bullied as a child, someone stood up to protect her.
Later on, they drifted apart and only reunited in college. Because of their childhood experiences, she gave the other person many chances. Unfortunately, the person had a twisted mind. If he had honestly pursued her, she would have agreed.
Later on, the person committed a major crime, and she personally sent him to prison. She had planned to help him start anew after his release, but the death of his parents changed everything. Their last meeting was him lying dead outside her apartment, having committed suicide.
How did she feel after the man's death? Although the Raiden Mei in the simulation wasn't her, she knew how that version of Raiden Mei would think.
Perhaps there was a bit of self-blame, perhaps some relief.
But more than that, there was a feeling of regret.
The little boy who had a sense of justice since he was young had gradually fallen into the abyss. She wanted to help him, but she failed to save his life. Thus, she gave him a score of 1 out of 100. The deducted 99 points were not for the man, but for herself. He had changed her life during childhood, making her life happy, but she couldn't save his life, and that's why she gave herself a score of 1.
In the last world, the man became the master of the world, but in the end, his life had become this tragic. How could Raiden Mei not feel regret?
In the dining hall of St. Freya Academy, Raiden Mei saw Kiana, who had just finished getting her meal and was looking for a place to sit. She walked over and greeted her.
"Kiana."
"Mei!"
Seeing Raiden Mei, Kiana's slightly downcast mood lifted a bit. Kiana liked Raiden Mei a lot, not in a taboo-like way, but more like a good sister, a best friend.
Raiden Mei also got herself a meal and then sat down next to Kiana. The two beautiful girls, each with their own thoughts, found a place to sit.
"Kiana, what's been bothering you these days? Is there something on your mind?"
Seeing Kiana's slightly furrowed brows, Raiden Mei felt a bit worried.
"Um... Can you tell it's bothering me?" Kiana smiled as if she was playing dumb and thought, Wow, Raiden Mei is really amazing. She could tell just with one look that I have something on my mind.
"What's wrong? You don't look like yourself with that troubled expression."
"Mei, I do have something on my mind."
"Can you tell me about it?"
"Um... It's a bit difficult to say."
Indeed, it was not easy to say. Should she tell Raiden Mei that she had been taken to watch movies for several days and now she's addicted to it, feeling unhappy because she can't watch anymore?
"Is that so? Then, you don't have to say it."
Raiden Mei was never the type to force others. She understood the minds of young girls at this age – they were beautiful, pure, but also very fragile. She wouldn't easily pry into others' hearts.
"Mei, next time the academy has a break, can you accompany me to go somewhere?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Hmm, I want to go to Longsky City."
"Longsky City!?"
Hearing this name, Raiden Mei's memories, which had just settled down, surged again. Longsky City, if she remembered correctly, was the birthplace of her two alternative lives.
Why did Kiana want to go to Longsky City? Could it be...
Raiden Mei's expression didn't change at all. She remained calm, as if she knew nothing. "What's going on, Kiana? Why do you suddenly want to go to Longsky City?"
"Because, it seems like Longsky City is a lot of fun. Lately, I've been feeling really bored, and I want to find a place to have some fun. Look, everyone says Longsky City is a fun place."
Saying this, Kiana handed her phone to Raiden Mei, and on the screen was news about the newly opened Homu Park in Longsky City. Among the visitor ratings, this newly opened Homu Park had an 87% approval rate.
Homu Park? It turned out Kiana just wanted to find a place to have fun?
It seemed that Raiden Mei had been overly suspicious. Kiana was just Kiana; she probably wouldn't be the type to hide anything.
"Then let's go together on the next holiday."
Hearing Raiden Mei's words, a brilliant smile immediately appeared on Kiana's face. Seeing this smile, and not knowing what Kiana was thinking, Raiden Mei could only sigh.
Carefree girls are really nice...
Suddenly, Raiden Mei felt something fragrant touch the left side of her face. Kiana and Raiden Mei were sitting side by side, only a few dozen centimeters apart, and the thing that touched her face was Kiana's face.
Kiana gently rubbed her face against Raiden Mei's.
"Really?! Mei, you're so great! Let's go to Longsky City together next holiday!"
"Okay!"
With a definite response, Kiana returned to her seat with a beaming smile and started to enjoy her lunch.
Kiana: The next holiday? Good, very good! Even though I don't know the name of that annoying man, every time I meet him, it's always in Longsky City. I've already determined that he must be in Longsky City. Humph, does he really think
it can end just because he didn't come looking for me? After dragging me to watch so many things, now I can't be satisfied; I have to take the initiative to go to him!
Raiden Mei: The next holiday happens to be the time when Kiana and I can go to Longsky City. I can accompany Kiana while also looking for clues about that man. It's killing two birds with one stone.
Both girls had their own thoughts, but their goals were surprisingly consistent – to find Lu Yu!
At the same time, Lu Yu, sitting on his bed and playing mobile games, suddenly felt a chill down his back. He felt like he was being watched by something, and it didn't seem to be just one thing?
"Hiss, what's going on? Why do I feel like something is watching me? This feeling... Is it similar to...?"
