I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

Mei looked indifferently at the group of people in front of her.

The delinquent girl, the leader of the group, walked over with a lollipop dangling from her mouth, and looked at Mei with a smile, saying, "Haha, what do you want?"

Suddenly, he slammed the lunchbox Mei was holding onto the ground.

With a "crack," the lunchbox burst open.

Rice and soup spilled all over the floor, making Mei's shoes shiny and messy. Some rice and oil even flew into Mei's shoes.

Mei Yi: “…………”

Mei frowned and said, "You..."

Before Mei could finish speaking, she was shoved by someone who lacked sportsmanship. Her shoes happened to be oily, so she slipped and fell hard on her bottom.

"Hahaha, this is the former Miss ME!"

"Look at him now, he's so funny!"

"She deserves it because she's the daughter of a fraudster."

…………

Amidst their mockery, Mei didn't cry; instead, she took a deep breath.

Mei silently stood up, emptied the rice from her shoes, and said coldly, "I don't like hitting girls because people around me will point and whisper. Now I'm a girl too, so it's all fair now~"

Hearing Mei's words, they didn't realize the seriousness of the situation and immediately burst into laughter. They outnumbered her; even if Mei wanted to fight, there were eight of them!

The eldest sister laughed and brought her face close to Mei's, patting her cheeks mockingly, "You? You dare hit me? Come on..."

Seeing her like this, Mei hardened her heart and slapped her across the face.

"Snapped"

The eldest sister looked on in disbelief; Mei really dared to hit her. Then, a surge of anger and humiliation welled up inside her.

"Damn it, stinks..."

"Snapped"

Mei slapped her hard across the face again. After slapping her twice, she took advantage of her momentary daze, grabbed her right hand, and with a sudden jerk of her shoulder, threw her forward.

A judo throw sent the big sister crashing onto the rooftop with a thud, leaving her lying motionless, only able to groan in pain.

"You... you bunch of idiots, what are you still standing there for?... Get her... done!" the leader said, coughing as she lay on the ground.

Mei found it somewhat amusing to look at the crowd that had surrounded her. How could girls fight? They could only grab each other's hair, pinch each other with their nails, and those who had no fighting ability would just stand by and spout threats.

One of the girls kicked at her, but Mei looked at her with disdain. This kind of attack was full of flaws and not very lethal.

Mei easily dodged the attack with a sidestep, then delivered a swift chop to Mei's back, sending her flying like a kite with a broken string.

Another person tried to grab Mei's hair, but Mei grabbed her hand and gently twisted it down, causing the girl to kneel on the ground with a "thud." With a light kick, Mei sent her flying.

Mei walked straight towards Aya, and those who tried to stop her were all knocked to the ground by Mei, unable to get up for a while.

When Caiyi saw that Meiyi was so fierce, she was momentarily panicked.

"No! Don't come any closer! I'll call for help if you do!"

Mei stopped and thought for a moment, then raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

"Snapped"

Caiyi felt the pain on her face, and tears the size of pearls immediately streamed down her face.

"Waaaaah, you dare hit me! You dare hit me! Waaaaahhhhhh~"

Ya's lips twitched, but inwardly she kept complaining, "Where did your bravado go? You cried after just one slap, making it hard for me to hit you back. If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll cause me trouble. It's too much!"

Mei summoned a black sword and instantly stabbed at Aya!

Before Caiyi could figure out where the knife came from, she saw Mei stabbing at her, meeting Mei's cold gaze.

The terror in Caiyi's eyes magnified infinitely, and all that remained in her heart was utter horror.

"what!!!"

Caiyi trembled uncontrollably, but the death she had imagined did not come.

Slowly opening his eyes, he found the black knife embedded in the cement wall beside him, with only part of the blade and hilt sticking out, demonstrating its sharpness.

Mei brought her lips close to her ear and said in a wicked tone, "If you mess with me again, you'll die~"

He then left the rooftop without giving the group another glance.

Caiyi plopped down on the ground, feeling the wetness of her skirt and a warm flow on her thighs, only then realizing that she had wet herself in fright.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Oh right. I almost forgot something," Mei suddenly turned back.

The girls on the rooftop felt a chill in their hearts; they had all seen Mei's black knife.

"No way, did she come back to kill me and cover it up?"

Mei randomly picked a girl, snatched her shoes right in front of her, and threw her her own shoes at her.

Under everyone's gaze, Mei left the rooftop.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Mei recalled what had just happened and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"There's always a sense of distance when hitting a girl, so I always unconsciously use less force."

Since that incident, although some people still gossip about Mei and spread bad things about her, no one has actively sought to cause trouble anymore.

Because anyone who came looking for trouble was beaten up by Mei, the girls were rewarded with slaps, and the boys were whipped.

School finally ended today, and Mei went to the kendo club last to announce to everyone that she was no longer serving as the club president. After everyone left, Mei rummaged through the kendo club's lockers and finally found the Houmu Sword Saint costume.

I'll store the clothes in my Black Blade Space as a memento. Maybe I'll give it to Raiden Ryoma when I meet him in the future. I wonder what surprised look he'll have on his face?

Finally, Mei looked at the place where she used to practice swordsmanship with the Homu Sword Saint—no, it should be her father—with reluctance in her eyes, but she still closed the door of the kendo club, never to return.

Mei walked towards home, feeling a little lonely as she walked alone on the street.

"Oh my god!" Mei suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Because he was driving near his home, there were police cars everywhere, and even a cordon was set up around his villa.

Mei walked to the vicinity of the police cordon and randomly approached a policeman, asking, "Excuse me, what's going on here?"

The police officer looked at Mei: "Little girl, the owner of this villa is a corrupt criminal. We are at his house collecting evidence."

"And what happens after we collect them all?" Mei asked.

The police officer thought for a moment and said, "According to the law, the villa will serve as funds for subsequent compensation."

"Alright, kid, I have to go to work. You should go home now," the policeman said finally.

"Really? I understand." Mei could only glance in the direction of home with her schoolbag on her back before silently leaving.

"Sigh, I really don't know how Mei from the original work managed to get through this," Mei muttered.

Mei can't live in her villa anymore, so she'll have to move to her second house in Changkong City. It's normal for her family to own several houses since they're part of ME Corporation.

The second apartment was quite far away, but luckily Raiden Ryoma had taken Mei there once before, so she knew how to get there.

A thunderbolt flashed across the sky, followed by the cover of dark clouds.

"So unlucky?" Mei sped up her run.

"Splash, splash," the torrential rain had already begun to fall.

Finally, we arrived at the entrance of the residential complex. After entering, we walked around a few turns and entered the building, finally reaching the door of the second apartment.

Mei stood at the door and then remembered.

"Damn it, I don't have the key."

Mei knocked, but there was no response after a while.

There seems to be no one inside, so...

The Black Knife has appeared!

Mei conjured a black knife out of thin air in her right hand and stabbed it at the doorknob, easily cutting the lock open as if it were tofu with a cleaver.

After entering the room, I carefully closed the door, well, even though it was broken.

Upon entering the final section, it was found to be very clean.

Mei found a note in the living room that read:

Mei, if you want to stay here long-term, dial this number and the cleaning staff will be notified and won't come anymore.

—Thunder and Lightning Dragon Horse.

"Hehe, just these few words, it's really simple and clear."

"However, the accommodation problem has been solved now. Fortunately, I packed all my personal belongings using the Black Knife Space last night."

After settling in with household items, they were finally settled in.

As night fell, Mei prepared to go to sleep. When she turned around to turn off the light, she suddenly noticed Mei looking at her with a playful expression.

Mei couldn't help but take two steps back, as if she had seen a ghost.

Mei forced herself to calm down and said, "How did you end up here?"

Mei said disdainfully, "What? You're using my body and you still have the nerve to ask me how I appeared?"

Mei looked at the [Mei] in front of her with a complicated expression, and said with some difficulty, "You...you want...you want this body back?"

Mei screamed, "Yes! I want this body back every single moment!!!"

Mei lowered her head, not daring to look her in the eye.

But when she looked up again, she found that Mei was gone.

"What exactly happened?"

Mei murmured.

Changkong City Prison —

Raiden Ryoma is in prison, but he's not worried at all.

Because he knew that the people at Anti-Entropy headquarters would definitely protect him.

But Raiden Ryoma was still a little flustered. Mei was his weakness, and he didn't know what Mei would do after this incident.

"Sigh, even a mighty anti-entropy executor can end up in such a sorry state." Thunder Dragon Horse chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Then, as if remembering something, excitement appeared on his face. He opened the inner pocket of his clothes and took out an exquisite greeting card.

That's right, this is the greeting card that Mei gave to Houmu Sword Saint back then.

When Raiden Ryoma first got the card, he was very curious and wanted to open it to see what was inside, but he had to give up because of his promise to his daughter.

But now, shouldn't we be able to take it apart?

Raiden Ryoma carefully tore open the corner of the greeting card, then slowly opened one side of the card through the crack, and carefully pulled out a piece of paper inside.

This looks like a letter?

Thunder Dragon Horse opened the letter, and the handwriting on it was clearly visible.

It reads:

"Hey, Houmu Sword Saint~ or rather—Father."

"I bet you're quite surprised right now, aren't you? Are you feeling a little embarrassed thinking about all the childish things you said while playing the Houmu Sword Saint? If other people knew that the president of ME Company said something like that, your dignified image would be ruined, wouldn't it?"

Upon reading this, Raiden Ryoma couldn't help but chuckle to himself, never expecting that Mei would actually know that he was the Houmu Sword Saint.

Lei Dian Long Ma continued reading.

"Don't worry, Dad, I definitely won't tell anyone. But, I don't know why, I always feel that we'll be separated for a long time to come. That's why I prepared this letter. When you open this card, maybe... you'll encounter difficulties?"

"Dad, if I'm not mistaken, you're not worried about me, are you? Haha, you must be worried!"

Raiden Ryoma couldn't help but smile wryly to himself; Mei was right after all.

"Don't worry, Dad. You don't need to worry about me. I'm stronger than you think. You're the one who should be the first to collapse."

"Dad, do what you believe is right! Don't worry about me. I'm all grown up now and can stand on my own. Besides, isn't parting for a better reunion?"

"So, Dad, no matter what you do, your daughter will always support you!"

Signed: Raiden Mei.

A thin mist clouded the Thunder Dragon Horse's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, tears the size of pearls fell. He wiped the tears away with his hand.

"Mei, she's really grown up."

He looked at the letter in his hand again and carefully put it away.

Thank you, Mei.

That's right, this is the last thing Mei could do for Raiden Ryoma.

The next morning, Mei went to class at the academy as usual, bought a bento box from a random shop, and finished her morning classes.

I went to the rooftop for lunch, then went to class in the afternoon and finally went home.

At night, Mei will appear and scare Mei half to death.

As time went by, Mei appeared not only at night and in dreams, but also during the day. However, only Mei could see her, so her classmates only saw Mei talking to herself and once thought that Raiden Mei had gone mad because she couldn't accept the fact that her father was in prison.

They all moved away from Raiden Mei.

When I enter my dreams at night, I get beaten to a pulp by Mei.

In the dream, the door opens again and again, only to be attacked by Kiana and Himeko. Or, it's simply killed by Mei.

This caused Mei to become mentally unstable and break down, and she herself didn't know how many times she had been killed by Mei.

Early in the morning, Mei woke up from her dream, her eyes red and wet with tears.

Mei's feelings are complicated. Who exactly is Mei?

Mei had wondered before whether he was a Herrscher consciousness.

But it's clear she isn't, because she can't directly control her body.

Why did she kill me again and again? Why did she want to take my place?

"That's enough, I'm really tired," Mei said helplessly.

As usual, Mei went to the rooftop for lunch after finishing her morning classes.

Mei has appeared.

Mei looked at Mei and asked directly this time, "What are you still insisting on?"

Mei was stunned for a moment, her eyes were blank, and her voice was very weak: "Yes, what am I persisting in?"

【Mei】sat down next to Mei, crossed her legs, and stared intently at Mei with her purple eyes.
