I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

"Phew~ I finally finished the assigned task." Mei sighed as she looked at the documents in her hand.

"We should be able to go to Changkong City in about two days, but we don't have anything to do right now. How about we go and chat with Himeko?"

Just as Mei was thinking this, the communicator beeped.

Mei saw that it was Tesla calling, so she answered the call—

"This is lightning..."

Before Mei could finish speaking, an anxious voice came from the other end of the communication.

"Mei! Pack your gear, let's go!"

Mei Yi: "????"

"Wait, Dr. Tesla, what's wrong?"

"We...found Kiana!!"

Huh? How did you find out? I haven't even gone to Changkong City yet, and you guys already found out? Did Kiana go there so early? Or did I misread the timeline when I played through this part of the story?

"Mei, come to the Helios quickly, we need to head to Changkong City immediately."

"Ah, wait, is it just the two of us?"

"That's right, it's just the two of us. I'll be waiting for you on the Helios. Come on over."

After saying that, Dr. Tesla hung up the call and began to organize his documents.

"Hehe, here's the information and this too, take these with you, and this as well. Okay, let's get ready to go!"

After packing up his documents, Tesla hurriedly left. However, a long, purplish-black sword was left behind on the laser platform…

Meanwhile, Mei didn't go to the Helios immediately, but instead went to see Himeko first.

Himeko's door was pushed open, and Mei saw Himeko hurriedly stuffing a can of beer under her pillow.

Mei: “…………”

Himeko laughed somewhat awkwardly, "Haha~ It's you, Mei! I thought it was Theresa. That girl never lets me drink beer, honestly~"

Mei silently walked towards Himeko, and under the other's questioning gaze, gave her a big hug, saying with a hint of sadness, "Himeko-neechan, I...I have to go..."

Upon hearing this, Himeko's smile froze, replaced by tenderness. She reached out and gently stroked Mei's head, softly comforting her:

"Mei, although I don't know where you're going, I understand your reluctance to leave everyone, and you're about to embark on an unknown journey."

“Your eyes reveal a firm resolve, a hope for the future. I can also sense a trace of unease within you, a fear of uncertainty about the future and of unknown challenges.”

"However, I believe you have enough courage and wisdom to face these difficulties. You are always so optimistic and brave, and no matter what difficulties you face, you can always find a way to solve them."

"I will always be here waiting for you to come back, no matter where you go or what you go through. Everyone at St. Freya will always be waiting for you to return."

"Go, Mei, I will be here to bless you and pray for you. May your path be filled with sunshine and joy, and may your heart always be filled with love and hope."

Upon hearing this, Mei felt an even stronger urge to burst into tears, but she gritted her teeth and forcefully suppressed her emotions.

A few drops of water still slid down her cheeks, which Mei quickly wiped away with her sleeve before letting go of Himeko's embrace.

"Thank you, Himeko-nee. Well... I'll be going now."

Mei turned around and slowly left the room. As the door closed, tears streamed down her face and fell to the ground.

"Ugh...really, you're such a grown-up, still crying...still crying...acting like a little kid who hasn't grown up yet."

Mei laughed self-deprecatingly, then wiped away her tears completely and ran resolutely toward the Helios.

………………

"Mei, you've finally arrived~" Tesla said, hands on his hips.

"I'm so sorry, something happened and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Mei said, clasping her hands together in apology.

"Alright, alright, I've only been here a short time myself. Come with me, we'll head out to Changkong City right away." Tesla gestured for Mei to get into the driver's seat.

Soon after, the Helios soared into the sky, heading towards Changkong City.

After a two-and-a-half-hour flight, the Helios arrived over Changkong City and, under Tesla's control, found a flat, tall building to use as a landing pad.

"We're doomed!" Tesla suddenly screamed.

Mei was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Dr. Tesla? Has the enemy attacked?"

Tesla said awkwardly, "Uh... well... no, actually I think I forgot your knife in my lab..."

Mei: “…………”

Seeing Mei's silence, Tesla hurriedly said, "Wait, Mei, don't be angry. Actually, I have another weapon on the Helios."

Before Mei could speak, Tesla hurriedly left, then returned with a blue and white longsword, which he handed to Mei.

“Here, this is the latest weapon, called the Raiche. Use this as a substitute for now,” Tesla explained.

Mei took the weapon, casually twirled it, tested its feel, and thanked Tesla, saying, "Thank you, this weapon is very good."

Tesla breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Mei's words.

"Huh~ That's good."

Looking at the Tesla in front of her, Mei found it somewhat amusing. In fact, no matter how far away that knife was, it would immediately appear in her hand as soon as she had a thought.

Mei had another plan in mind when she accepted the sword: Raven would appear in this part of the story, and if she took out the Purple Lightning Blade...

So, the fact that "Sky Comedian is Raiden Mei" can't be kept secret anymore, and she doesn't want to get herself into trouble.

Mei cut Rai in the lower back and then followed Tesla off the Helios.

Under Dr. Tesla's guidance, Mei began to fiddle with the instruments in her hands.

As for why Mei didn't just go looking for her directly? That's because she hasn't finished watching the story and doesn't know where Kiana is in Changkong City right now...
