I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

Time flew by, and two more days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the evening, Kiana sat alone in her room, staring blankly at old photos of herself and Mei, and her eyes welled up with tears without her realizing it.

"Mei...my Mei..."

Kiana reached out and gently stroked Mei's photo in the frame, but a sense of helplessness filled her heart...

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the door.

"Huh? Who could it be so late?" Kiana asked, placing the photo frame on the nearby cabinet.

Kiana walked over and opened the door, where she saw Fu Hua.

"Squad leader, you..."

Before Kiana could finish speaking, Fu Hua suddenly pulled out a yellow comical face mask from behind her and put it on.

Hi Kiana, good evening~

"Ahem... Oh, it's Xiao Shi..."

"But, Xiao Shi, is there something you need from me at this hour?"

Kiana gave an awkward laugh, because before this, the Herrscher of Knowledge and Fu Hua had already reached an agreement that the two of them would each control the body for a period of time.

Everyone in the base knows what's going on; when Fu Hua controls a body, she usually has something important to do.

As for Xiao Shi controlling the body, he basically just goes around playing, and he also carries a yellow funny face mask given to him by Mei.

However, this is also a good thing, since it makes it easier for everyone to distinguish whether Xiao Shi or Fu Hua is controlling the body.

But... is it really okay for Fu Hua, with her stern face, to wear... cough cough... that mask?

"Okay, Kiana, I've come to find you. I have something important to discuss," Xiao Shi said, wearing a comical face mask.

"Ahem... Xiao Shi, why don't you take off your mask? Otherwise, I might want to punch you..." Kiana said with a stiff smile.

"Okay~"

As she spoke, Xiao Shi removed her mask and then handed Kiana a blue letter.

"What is this?" Kiana asked, taking the letter.

“Uh…actually…that letter was written to you by Mei…” Xiao Shi said, her eyes darting around as she stroked her chin.

"What? Mei wrote this to me!" Kiana exclaimed in surprise. Mei actually wrote her a letter!

"Wait, when did Mei write to me?" Kiana turned to ask Xiaoshi.

She remembered that it had been several months since she last saw Mei, or rather, when did Mei slip the letter to Xiaoshi?

"Uh... actually it wasn't that long... just... maybe a few months ago?" Xiao Shi grinned.

Kiana: “…………”

After chatting for a while, Kiana saw Xiaoshi off and immediately jumped onto the bed, excitedly opening the letter.

"Mei! Mei! Mei!"

Kiana opened the letter and quickly read its contents. The letter read:

Kiana... I hit you on the rooftop last time... are you still in pain?

To be honest, your determination at that time was a bit unexpected. I didn't expect you to be so eager to keep me here...

But I'm sorry, Kiana...

In this collapsing world, I must go to the World Serpent. Beyond this rooftop, I cannot predict what the future holds.

I once thought that after becoming the Herrscher of Thunder, I would stay with Anti-Entropy and fight against the Honkai together with all of you, but Kevin tricked me...

Although that's one of the reasons, I still want to go to World Serpent so that I can get closer to the original story, right?

That ending where humanity defeats the Honkai and we move towards a better tomorrow.

Kiana, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Actually, I guess I'm a bit selfish.

Because compared to you growing into a capable warrior by experiencing repeated injuries, countless setbacks, and even potential life-threatening situations.

I would much rather you grow up happily like an ordinary girl, someone who would act spoiled around me, someone who would come to me for help when in danger, and someone who would confide in me when you're unhappy...

In closing, all I want to say is...

Kiana, I, Raiden Mei, will always stand by your side and clear away all obstacles for you.

If I ever hit you, please remember, it's for your own good.

Kiana stared at the envelope for a long time, tears welling up in her eyes and falling onto the paper, wetting the envelope...

Suddenly, Kiana smiled.

"Heheheheha ...

"So, Mei, is that what you think?"

"Don't you want me to experience danger and grow into a capable warrior?"

"And then all she'll do is become a little girl who runs to you whenever she encounters danger or difficulty, and then snuggles up in your arms?"

"Mei!!! You're being incredibly naive! How could anything so wonderful exist in the world!"

"You want me to cuddle in your arms? Mei, you're dreaming!"

"It should be Mei, you snuggling in my arms, begging and crying, making a fuss!"

"That kind of inability to live without me! Mei, that's what I want!"

........................

Inside the World Snake Base—

In Mei's room, Mei and Raven were eating chicken legs when suddenly Mei felt a chill and shivered, causing the chicken leg in her hand to fall to the ground.

"Raiden Mei, what's wrong? Can a Herrscher tremble too?" Raven asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel... how should I put it? I can't quite describe the feeling."

"It's like a beautiful young girl walking down the street and being stared at by a creepy old man."

Raven raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

"Really? That makes sense. After all, who could resist a beautiful girl who can cook?"

Mei shook her head and handed a red frying pan to Raven.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Here, here's your Seven Thunders of Purification."

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly after we finish eating."

"Okay, okay, if you think I'm being too much trouble, I'll just pack a few and go."

Finally, Raven packed up a few chicken legs and left, leaving Mei alone in the room, and everything became quiet again.

After tidying up, Mei changed into her pajamas and lay on the bed, reflecting on the recent progress.

“The puppets have been less active lately, and it’s not as serious as before.”

"Although there have been a few incidents involving dolls, they all occurred on construction sites."

Thinking of this, Mei smiled.

"Are those puppets still working on the theater?"

………………

Dominating the theater at the same time—

"Everyone, shout after me, one! two! three! Pull!"

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

Fifteen puppets worked together to carry a huge building material to a high place in the theater for installation.

"Wuhu! Another theater has been built!"

"Yes, yes, it won't be long before we can fix up the theater!"

"Damn Raiden Mei, we must avenge this!"

"Alright, enough talk. Hurry up and go to the next construction site to pour cement. They need to rebuild the wall there."

…………

The doll, number 746, looked down at the bustling construction site below and felt quite satisfied.

"It seems it won't be long before this theater returns to its original state, woohoo!!!"

Thinking of this, doll number 746 pulled doll number 200 next to it into her arms and snuggled up to it.
