I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

"Kiana, you've really angered me this time," Mei said with an unfriendly expression, her eyes fixed on Kiana.

Kiana felt uneasy under Mei's gaze, her heart pounding with anxiety, and she stood there helplessly with her hands in front of her.

"...Mei...I..."

Kiana had so much to say to Mei, but when the words reached her lips, she found herself unable to utter a single sound…

Mei removed her comical mask and said to Kiana with a serious expression, "Kiana, what can I say to you? Why didn't you call me on this mission? Are you looking down on me?"

"No... Mei, it's just too..."

"What? Is it too dangerous? So you don't want to see me get hurt and then take all the blame yourself?" Mei questioned, her tone towards Kiana no longer as gentle as before.

Kiana fell silent, because Mei was right... she... she really didn't want to get hurt because of him...

Mei pulled Kiana into her arms, holding her tightly as if Kiana would leave her if she loosened her grip.

“Mei…” Kiana’s eyes glistened with tears. In Mei’s arms, she could feel Mei’s unease.

"But do you know what? Kiana! Rather than seeing you injured and forcing a smile, I'd rather be the one covered in wounds and crying!"

"You naively believe that protecting those around you makes everyone happy? No! You're wrong!"

Kiana, I truly hope that you can learn to love yourself before loving others!

Mei hugged Kiana and suddenly burst into tears, her voice filled with helplessness and sorrow, and large tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Waaaaah, hiccup, waaaah..."

Kiana, hearing Mei's cries, felt a pang of remorse. Tears welled in my eyes, and I reached out to hug Mei tightly, saying in a choked voice, "...Mei...I'm sorry...I made you worry..."

"Waaah... Kiana, will you still do this in the future? Abandon me all by yourself?" Mei hugged her even tighter, wishing she could merge her body into her.

"It won't happen again...it won't happen again...I'm sorry...Mei." Kiana sincerely promised, but tears continued to stream down her face. Kiana realized she had made a mistake...

"Then... will you still rely on me in the future? Will we face difficulties together?" Mei asked, crying.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Mei, I promise you!" Kiana cried out.

"Waaaah, it's a deal!"

After confirming Kiana's agreement, Mei wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, her lips involuntarily twisting into a smirk, before putting the comical mask back on her face.

After parting ways with Kiana, Mei looked at Kiana, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, patted her head, wiped away her tears, and said gently, "Okay, I forgive you this time. If there's a next time, I really will hit you."

"Yes, I understand, Mei. And thank you for always being there for me..."

"Actually, I also want to thank Kiana... because... you are the most important person to me... I'm so lucky to have met you..."

"Kiana, remind Mei, the enemy is coming," Fu Hua's voice rang in Kiana's mind.

Enemies then poured out of the passage, surrounding the two. However, Kiana and Mei showed no fear; instead, they looked at each other and smiled.

………………

With the death of the last corpse, the field was littered with bodies, creating a very bloody scene.

After killing all the monsters, Kiana and Mei retreated outside. Suddenly, Kiana said, "Mei, that guy with the dog head in the lab just now revealed their plan..."

"In addition to modifying the vaccine to activate the Holy Marks within the human body, the World Serpent will also create a collapse disaster that covers the entire city, completely activating the Holy Marks."

Upon hearing Kiana's words, Mei instantly recalled a PV titled "Celestial Meteor".

After a long silence, Mei asked, "So, you want to stop it?"

Kiana gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and said to Mei, "Yes, I have to go... Would you... come with me?"

Mei patted her head, took off the comical mask from her face, and smiled with tears in her eyes, saying to her, "I've been waiting for you to say that. My answer is—I do!"
