I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

Helios —

Mei took a deep breath, then pushed open the door to the treatment room and immediately saw Kiana lying on the hospital bed.

"It's Mei~ Hehehe, I didn't expect you to find me in the end." Kiana said with a smile, but she couldn't hide the weakness on her face.

Mei walked to Kiana's bedside, took her soft hand, and said with a complicated expression:

"Kiana...you've suffered these past few days..."

Mei looked at Kiana's tired eyes and felt a pang of pain in her heart. If she could, she would rather it had happened to her.

"Hehehe, it's alright, Mei. But... it's so good to see you again~" Kiana's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with joy.

"By the way, Kiana, I remember back in Sky City, I think I was knocked unconscious by Durandal?" Mei recalled that time, and a certain part of her body throbbed with pain.

"Uh... Mei did indeed knock you unconscious with Durandal, but she healed you with that white flower."

"However... afterwards, she forcibly took me away," Kiana said.

"But speaking of which, Mei, you actually knew I was in Changkong City all along, didn't you?" Kiana said gently to Mei, a sly glint in her eyes.

Mei fell silent, unsure how to answer. Should she say that she had seen the plot?

Kiana burst out laughing when she saw Mei's dazed expression.

"Hahaha, Mei~"

"So Kiana, what are you laughing at?" Mei looked at Kiana speechlessly.

Hehehe, actually I'm just so glad I met you~

"But now that I think about it, I understand why Mei appeared beside me as the Sky Wizard~"

"Thank you for accompanying me all this way, Mei~ And the new hairstyle... it suits you so well, I love it... Mei looks good no matter what~"

"you……"

Mei was speechless for a moment when she looked into Kiana's blue eyes, so she turned her gaze to the window.

"Huh? Mei~ Why aren't you looking at me? Let me guess~ Are you shy?" Kiana teased, feeling like a switch had been flipped in her body after seeing Mei's shy expression.

"Ahem... Alright Kiana, let's talk about what you've been through these past few days?"

………………

After a brief exchange—

"...That's it, that white-haired guy, I think his name is... Kevin! If it weren't for the class monitor, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape that desert..." Kiana said dejectedly.

Mei thought for a moment. The class president and Kevin knew each other, so he wouldn't kill him, but...

"So Kiana, that Kevin guy bullied you, right?" Mei asked Kiana.

"Yeah, but Mei, he is indeed very strong."

"Okay, I understand, Kiana," Mei said, though she was already secretly harboring some feelings for Kevin.

After Kiana finished recounting her experiences, Mei also told Kiana some things she knew, including the fact that Himeko-sensei was still alive.

"What?! Aunt Himeko is still alive?!"

"I can't believe Aunt Himeko survived all of this?!"

Kiana was shocked and exclaimed, as Mei chopped her head with a single chop.

"Ouch~ Mei, why did you hit me...?"

"How can you talk like that? Honestly..." Mei rolled her eyes at Kiana.

"Hehe, I'm just so happy~"

"However... so many things have happened, everyone must have changed a lot."

"Hehe, I wonder if Bronya has grown any taller—I guess not."

"Based on my analysis, I also think so," Mei agreed.

Bronya: ? ? ?…………

"By the way, the Hyperion are on their way now, and you'll see them soon."

Mei said, but a sense of loneliness suddenly welled up in her heart, because according to the original plot in her mind, she probably wouldn't be able to meet them again.

"Ugh, I'm a little nervous. I'm not ready yet," Kiana said, scratching her head.

"Mei, it's boring just waiting around. I want to go out for a walk before everyone arrives to clear my head," Kiana said expectantly to Mei.

Upon hearing this, Mei's expression became complicated, and she hesitated as she looked at Kiana's weak body.

"Oh dear, Mei, you know I just can't concentrate, and staying in my room all the time is making me feel really depressed."

"So Mei, let's go for a walk together, okay?"

After thinking about it for a while, Mei realized that Kiana was right. After all, she also liked to feel the breeze, and staying in her room all the time would definitely make her feel bad...

"Hmm...okay, but you must promise me that if we encounter a Honkai Beast, you cannot take action yourself; you must leave everything to me."

Mei agreed. Although there were many roaming Honkai Beasts outside, she should be more than capable of handling them.

"Yay! Mei's the best! Let's go!"

Kiana and Mei playfully left the room and went outside together.

………………

"Kiana, here you go~" Mei opened her spatial storage and took out an orange and white coat.

"Wow, isn't this my coat? I lost it before, Mei, you actually found it... Wait, this looks new?" Kiana picked up the coat and looked at it.

"Yes, it is indeed new."

"It's a pity, I kind of miss my old one, after all, it holds memories of our time together, so I'm a little reluctant to part with it~"

"Yes, that's true. Although the new ones are very clean, the old ones hold the weight of our past," Mei said with a smile, though she was definitely thinking ahead.

Because... that old coat wasn't actually lost; Mei found it.

As for why I don't take it out? Of course, it's stored in the most important part of the Purple Lightning Blade's space. I just take it out and take a sip now and then!

After all, I'll be working at World Serpent in the future, how can I not have some souvenirs and Kiana's flavor?

Afterwards, the two strolled slowly through the ruins of Changkong City. Along the way, they had endless topics to talk about. Looking at the familiar buildings and streets, they recalled their past bickering and playing around, and a sense of happiness welled up in their hearts, as if those days were just yesterday.

Suddenly, Kiana gazed into the distance, her eyes sweeping beyond the remnants of the broken net, soaring towards the horizon—

"Mei, walk with me a little longer. I want to go see Chiba Academy."

"Okay," Mei agreed, because she actually wanted to go back and see what that place was like.
