Mei once remembered someone saying...
Dreams are like the flutter of a butterfly.
From childhood, since her mother left for a very far away place, her father changed drastically from a loving type, to a rather cold person.
Of course, all of this is most likely just a feeling.
Going to a faraway place is just a symphony saying that someone has died. Even though she had forgotten much of her childhood past, a visit to the hospital to visit her mother who was seriously ill was the memory that remained most etched in her mind.
Since her mother died, her father rarely came home. The office for him is like a second home.
Cold, because she misses the old days when their family was still a warm and complete family. But, she also couldn't hate him because the man was still carrying out his responsibilities as a father.
Growing independently in an environment like this, she adapted like most people.
As the eldest miss of the ME Group, she matured faster than her peers, and she thought she could already read other people's hearts.
However...
Today changed all her perspectives.
When the nurse wanted to attack her at the hospital, her father, Raiden Ryoma, quickly blocked the person's attack.
A familiar sword technique...
Of course she knew that it was their Raiden family's sword technique. What confused her however, was how familiar this movement was.
The movements her father made when protecting her were almost exactly the same as the homu dolls that always visited their family dojo at certain times.
Paying close attention, the movements of the two of them looked very similar.
"...."
This made her speechless.
Doesn't that mean that the person who wears the Homu costume, and has always been her sparring opponent all this time, is her own father?
He didn't ignore her?
This made Mei's mind go blank.
After that, many things happened.
Her father was seriously injured as a result of that person's attack, the city of Nagazora where she lived immediately turned into a city filled with monsters...
Even Kiana...
She still remembered how warm the blood she accidentally touched at that time was.
This is all her fault.
If only things weren't like this...
If only... I was stronger.
I... can't do anything.
"Mei, don't cry anymore. Now it's all over. You see, I managed to protect you~!"
"This voice... Kiana?"
When the butterfly's wings flutter, leaves and lets it the dreamer out. Mei opened her eyes and was greeted with a cute face smiling sweetly at her.
White hair as beautiful as silk, agile sky blue eyes, and also a charming beautiful face. Plus the warm sunlight hitting her hair gave a very bright and warm impression, for a moment, Mei was amazed.
"Angel?"
"Hahaha, Mei, are you teasing me~? But if you want to say that, I don't reject it~"
Felt a dense wind passing through her body, and suddenly realized that the two of them were currently falling. Mei, who was carried in a princess style hug, subconsciously started to move closer.
"Hold me tight, I'm going to land."
"Hm." Mei nodded her head obediently, and she hugged Kiana's waist tightly.
Being carried by a white knight, just like a fairy tale, is the dream of all girls. Not knowing if this was the effect of the suspension bridge, Mei's heartbeat was beating very fast.
Her face started to turn red.
Of course, while the two of them were enjoying their ambiguous time, there was someone else who had a completely different reaction beneath their feet.
Siegfried: "The honkai beast's body is falling towards us! EVERYONE RUN!!!"
Theresa: "You stupid NIECE! Why did you suddenly attack like that!? You just wanted me to die of a heart attack!"
Bronya: "Project Bunny, turn into a motorbike! HURRY!"
Welt Yang: "Siegfried go away from my pants, I can't fly!!! SIEGFRIED!!!!"
Everyone panicked.

When the honkai beast vipralopa in the form of a giant snake was successfully killed, the mission of the valkyries in Nagazora City was considered almost complete.
They didn't need to look for the location where the Herrscher of Domination was because it was useless.
Just like the previous era. Even if one were to find one of the Herrscher of Domination's bodies, it would most likely just be one of its dolls.
Compared to the other 999 dolls or so, looking for one of them would just be a waste of time.
After confirming that the honkai beasts above Seraph-Class had all been killed by Selene's attack, the valkyries withdrew, and allowed the logistics valkyries to take over.
Sirin is also included in this group as a volunteer.
Their main focus at the moment is to save the remaining humans who managed to survive after the third great honkai impact was completed.
Ships carrying goods began to land in a large area in Homu Paradise Park, and logistics valkyrie teams began to depart one after another.

"Have you managed to get it?"
"Of course boss! Look at this!"
Evil Vill-V, Herrscher of Domination, and the mastermind behind all the destruction in this city, visited an ancient shrine that was somewhat abandoned somewhere in Nagazora City.
When she set foot here, and saw Pardo relaxing sunbathing on the tile roof, Evil Vill-V felt very displeased.
However, when Pardo swung the black katana sword in her hand, Evil Vill-V's facial expression immediately turned radiant.
Jizo Mitama, a divine key that was not completed in the previous era, and is also the 12th divine key, is known as the Key of Corruption.
"Good, I'll increase your payment later! Now give it to me!"
"Hehe, thank you boss for you generosity!" Pardo became happy.
"Meow~!!!" Can, a fat brown cat, and currently sitting on Pardo's head, also shouted happily.
Taking the Katana sword handed over by Pardo, Evil Vill-V shook it carelessly, and the tip of the blade accidentally scratched her toe.
Instantly, Evil Vill-V immediately collapsed.
"Very good! Genuine goods!!!"
Came back with a new body, and took Jizo Mitama from her own corpse. As if she had never learned from past experiences, Evil Vill-V still waved her sword everywhere without the slightest fear.
Pardo and Can chose to take a few steps back.
"Can you explain to me how you got it?"
Pardo nodded: "Actually, after finding the shrine that the boss asked me to look for, I opened the stigmata room with my abilities, and went in there together with sister Sakura. After that..."
"Stop, I'm bored with your story. Let's go. That person must have finished collecting the data too."
"Ehhh... Even though I haven't finished telling the most interesting part..." Pardo, who was interrupted in the middle of the story, complained.
"Meaw..." Can also complained.
Seeing a space crack suddenly appear next to Evil Vill-V. Pardo also had no other choice, and they all entered the space crack, returning to the safety of their base.
The quiet miko shrine, welcoming its silence back after the noisy makers had left.
Sakura flower, falls and death.
