Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

She had a feeling that this matter was likely to have far-reaching implications.

"Bronya, I... I'd like to invite Mei to have lunch with us."

Unable to understand Duck's thoughts, Seele asked tentatively.

In her eyes, Raiden Mei is a member of Anti-Entropy, and a companion of theirs at Chiba Academy.

As for the more hidden details... that's beyond Seele's little brain to comprehend.

"Xie'er?"

Bronya asked expressionlessly.

"Because she looked very lonely."

Her voice was soft and weak, sounding somewhat timid, but Seele still insisted on finishing expressing her point of view.

"It's no use, Mei-senpai won't pay any attention to you."

Kiana waved her hand.

She had once tried to invite this very beautiful senior, who often appeared on the rooftop, to lunch, but... she was deterred by a single look from the girl with long, straight black hair.

The other party's cold expression almost made the white fluffy ball think that she had just sent a challenge, and that Mei would pull out a katana from under her skirt and cut her in two the next second.

Although the girls of the Kaslana family are warm-hearted, they are never masochists and have no interest in trying to win someone's favor.

"I still want to try."

Seele shook her head, but her eyes were firm.

That's how Bronya was back then.

She didn't want anyone to suffer the same fate.

That would be too pitiful.

"Bronya and Seele together."

The gray-haired girl stood up abruptly.

She was willing to support Seele as long as the idea wasn't too outlandish.

Moreover, she is also very interested in Raiden Mei.

"cut!"

With a cold snort, Xing also stood up, expressing her attitude through her actions.

The Seventh Squad has always stood together through thick and thin.

Although most of the time she had no choice.

That wretched Bronya!

She'll have to put him in his place one day!

Xing has never longed for power as much as she does now.

"Then I'll come too."

Kiana flashed a bright smile.

Even though she didn't have much hope for it, she enjoyed the feeling of working together with her friends to do something.

"Everyone……"

With the support of her friends, Seele suddenly felt an immense surge of power within her.

"Go, Seele."

Bronya spoke with a straight face, but her voice was gentle.

Under Bronya's watchful gaze, Seele nodded gently and walked slowly but firmly toward the long-haired girl on the other side of the rooftop.

"Is something wrong?"

Noticing their actions, Mei looked up and asked coldly.

"Um..." Startled by the girl's gaze, Seele paused before mustering a little courage. "Mei-Mei-kun, if you don't mind, can we have lunch with you?"

Chapter 118 On this day, Mei saw the light

"Are you in first grade?"

Without giving a reply, Mei simply glanced at the group's clothing.

At Chiba Academy, the school uniforms of different grades are different colors.

Moreover, the girls who were also in the second year knew more about her and dared not approach her anymore.

"I'm sorry, Mei-senpai, they are foreign exchange students who just arrived here recently."

Thinking that Mei was bothered by Seele's disrespectful way of addressing her, Kiana quickly explained.

Although she couldn't understand the Far East's emphasis on hierarchical relationships, where even different grades were divided into several classes, the girl always knew the importance of adapting to local customs.

"Then stay away from me, newbie."

She said coldly, then lowered her head and continued eating her bento.

She is no longer the young lady of ME Company; getting close to her will only bring misfortune.

Those who ostracized and mocked her might not dare to do anything directly to her, but they might not be so lenient towards the people around her.

The girl didn't want to cause trouble for others, nor did she want to deal with such troubles.

Schoolwork, kendo practice, physical training, Honkai energy manipulation training... she didn't have much free time.

Upon seeing this, Xing immediately became furious.

She can bully Seele, but that doesn't mean others can.

"Hey! You—"

But before she could finish speaking, Apricot was stopped by Bronya.

"Bronya!"

Xing glared at the gray-haired girl.

"Just leave it to Seele."

Bronya explained, her expression calm and showing no sign of emotion.

On the other hand, after witnessing Mei's indifference, Seele couldn't help but have second thoughts.

But when she thought of Bronya back then, the girl felt she couldn't just leave her alone.

Clenching her fists to muster her courage, Seele said timidly, "I... I just want to have lunch with Mei-kun, is that okay?"

Mei looked up and stared at Seele's face for a while. Then she looked away and glanced at the other three people with different expressions before lowering her head to eat again, saying, "Whatever."

The rooftop was large, and she couldn't control the behavior of these people.

Since the other person wants to sit next to her, then so be it; no one else will see anyway.

Even so, these first-year students shouldn't expect her to give them a pleasant look.

She didn't have the energy to deal with other people's curiosity.

Anyway... once they get to know her better, these guys will run away on their own.

Who would believe the daughter of a con artist?

"Okay, thank you, Mei-kun."

With permission granted, Seele's face instantly lit up with a smile, and she reached for a fried egg in Mei's bento box with her fork.

"you……"

Mei was stunned when she saw this.

She allowed the other person to sit next to her, but she didn't say she agreed to share lunch!

and……

As soon as she put a piece of egg in her mouth, Seele's expression changed slightly.

For a moment, she almost thought that the person sitting opposite her was a white fur ball.

"It tastes terrible."

Mei explained, while eating her bento box without changing her expression.

Although she had the money to hire a chef, the thought of not avenging her father's death instantly killed any desire for enjoyment in the young woman's heart.

It doesn't matter if the food I make doesn't taste good, as long as it provides nutrition, that's enough.

Just like how, although she filled the gap left by the "Walter White" sign on the living room wall, she still deliberately kept the color different from the surroundings.

She must constantly remind herself that she is destined to be an avenger, and she must never be complacent with temporary peace and relax her resolve.

"Really? I'll give it a try too."

Hearing Mei's words, Kiana became interested and reached for her chopsticks before the girl could stop her.

Having spent so much time in East Asia, she was already used to using chopsticks.

"you……"

Seeing these guys pushing their luck again and again, Mei frowned instantly.

"I think the taste is alright."

After chewing the food in her mouth a few times, Kiana gave it a thumbs up.

Xi'er: "..."

Meiyi: "..."

After exchanging a glance, Bronya and Xing still didn't dare to make a move.

Never trust Kaslana's words.

This is the truth they have come to realize during this period.

"Mei-kun, would you like to try our bento?"

"I'm being very quiet," Seele said timidly, carefully handing over her lunchbox.

"Mine is fine too."

Kiana directly put a few cookies into Mei's food box.

Her brows furrowed almost into a deep frown, but upon smelling the enticing aroma emanating from Seele's bento box and seeing the rising steam, Mei instinctively asked, "Is it hot?"

At Chiba Academy, she had never seen anyone put hot food in their lunchbox.

Won't it get cold from morning to noon?

"I know this, it's a self-heating pack!" Kiana raised her hand and answered quickly. "With this, even on the battlefield, you can eat hot food."

"..."

Mei stared coldly at the white fluffy ball.

What kind of lives do these people lead?

Every metaphor is something like a battlefield.

"If you don't mind, Mei-kun, please give it a try."

Seele also picked out a few pieces of meat and put them into Mei's bento box.

Since the other party is indifferent, she might as well take the initiative.

This is the lesson she learned from Kiana.

"Bronya's too."
