Scrolling through short videos and seeing embarrassing moments, has even the Mi Home ecosystem broke

Despite her uneasy premonition, Mei was especially eager to know the extent of Kiana's injuries after enduring that terrifying Honkai bomb.

That idiot shouldered everything alone and saved Sky City all by himself. Will Kiana receive the redemption she deserves?

Mei, who cared especially about her close friend Kiana, kept her eyes fixed on the light screen.

……

The eyelids of Yomi, the Raiden General within Inazuma, and the Raiden movie hidden in the Pure Land of One Heart, all far away in the Collapse Iron Universe, twitched twice along with Mei as the words "baby teeth" appeared on the screen.

An ominous premonition arose in their hearts at the same time.

"Baby teeth, children's teeth?"

The men around the general expressed their doubts, but the general, who had a sense of unease, remained silent.

Despite the nonsensical titles on the screen, General Thunder and Thunder Movies could sense a malice.

It seemed to be a term used to describe some particularly abhorrent persecution of "her".

……

As for Kiana, her focus is quite different from Mei's.

"Insects? Are you talking about me?"

Kiana frowned, a puzzled look on her face.

Although her name wasn't mentioned at all in the title, Kiana felt a jolt in her heart, as if her name was being called out.

"Insects... do you mean paramecia?"

Bronya, standing next to Kiana, seemed to have made a connection and offered a sharp comment:

"A brainless single-celled organism... that's a fitting nickname for Kiana, the idiot who was cultured from the very beginning."

"...Bronya, the jokes from your hometown aren't funny at all."

“(? ? ?)”

Although Kiana's background as a cultivated experimental subject is a thorny topic, Bronya's joke seems to have eased this "untouchable" feeling considerably.

As for another key element in the title "Sister-in-law"...

The previous light screen revealed who Kiana's "sister" was, although no one could believe that Kiana's sister was none other than Durandal, the strongest S-rank Valkyrie in Schicksal's current lineup...

But everyone's gaze turned to the light screen, where the incredibly powerful and beautiful Valkyrie, exuding an aura of oppressive force that was almost suffocating, had appeared.

………………

………………

The scene immediately follows [Celestial Meteor], showing Kiana rising into the sky with the Honkai Bomb aloft, before finally succumbing to exhaustion and unable to maintain her Herrscher form any longer.

The Herrscher of the Void's wings of light shattered behind her, and the girl's figure fell helplessly through the air, swallowed by a roar as loud as the midnight sun.

As a shooting star streaked across the sky, the people of Sky City were unaware that it was Kiana, the hero who had saved them and protected the entire city, falling to the ground.

Only one girl, tears welling in her eyes, frantically searched the ground for the falling figure—

"Kiana!"

Across the city skyline, Mei raced toward the direction Kiana had fallen.

"Wait for me! I will definitely bring you back to everyone's side, and we'll all go back to St. Freya Academy together!"

The mechs gathering from all sides were tracking them, and Mei knew that every second was incredibly precious.

She must find Kiana before everyone else, and escape before they are surrounded by the enemy.

In order to bring her best friend home, and to save the person who once pulled her out of the abyss...

All Mei can do now is to take as many steps as she can and swing her sword with all her might!

As the sharp, cold light pierced the night, Mei finally broke through the enemy's blockade with all her might, and she was only one step away from the girl who had fallen to the ground!

That seemingly insurmountable distance instantly became an insurmountable gap.

With a deafening roar that shattered the silence of the night, a spear, gleaming with a chilling light, crashed to the ground!

A shimmering blue comet descended from the sky, bringing an overwhelming sense of oppression and whipping Mei into the air with a fierce gust of wind!

Like a raging dragon stirring up a storm in the night, a figure dressed in pure white and azure blue suddenly came into view!

The long, wavy blonde hair, as golden and dazzling as the coastline at dusk, cascaded behind the powerful woman. The spear in her hand exuded a forbidden aura, preventing anyone from approaching, and forcefully halted Mei's steps.

Throughout the five-hundred-year history of Destiny, only the strongest Valkyrie was qualified to wield the Divine Key, the Black Abyss White Flower, which Durandal currently holds firmly in her hands.

The youngest and most powerful Valkyrie in history, a role model for countless Valkyries in Schicksal, whose power is known by word of mouth.

What stood between Mei and Kiana was a mountain as formidable as an insurmountable chasm.

Even so, Mei had a reason to draw her blade against Durandal—

Because her dearest friend, the one who saved her from despair, was lying unconscious behind Durandal.

Mei had no idea how badly Kiana was injured after being exposed to the terrifying Honkai energy explosion at such close range; tears streamed down her face like a broken string.

The girl who was laughing not long ago is now seriously injured and unconscious for the sake of the entire city. Even if it is Durandal in front of her, she will never back down!

"I'm ordered to take Kiana away. Please stop, Raiden Mei."

Faced with Durandal's warning, Mei did not hesitate to raise the blade in her hand!

However, even with Mei's all-out effort and her fierce determination, she could not bridge the insurmountable gap between herself and the strongest Valkyrie in the world.

In the previous light screen, even when facing Mei who had mastered the power of a Herrscher, Durandal always seemed to be handling the situation with ease, not to mention Mei at that time.

Durandal's treatment of Mei was like an adult playing with an infant; no matter how hard Mei tried, she couldn't even touch the hem of Durandal's clothes.

Finally, as Durandal's spear pierced the sky, azure starlight tore through the night.

The moment Durandal became even slightly serious, Mei instantly collapsed to her knees, barely able to stay upright by leaning on the blade in her hand.

Even though Mei gritted her teeth and her hand gripping the blade trembled, the flame in her eyes remained undiminished, and it still couldn't shake Durandal in the slightest.

"Not bad eyes, but unfortunately you don't yet have the power to match that will."

Durandal lavishly praised Mei's unwavering defiance, but her spear showed no mercy—

The instant Mei's body was swept away again, the unconscious Kiana was taken away by Durandal, a streak of azure light shooting into the sky.

"Kiana!!!"

Amid Mei's desperate cries, the heavily injured and unconscious Kiana was taken away right before her eyes!

What fate awaits Kiana, who has been given destiny by Durandal?

Kiana, who had just saved Sky City, was in grave danger, and now she was facing this predicament again!

Mei rushed frantically towards the spot where Kiana had just fainted, but the unconscious girl had already vanished with the shooting star streaking across the sky.

Just like when Mei witnessed Kiana transform into a shooting star, she could only watch helplessly as the shooting star slipped through her fingers.

All that remained was Kiana's tattered coat.

"It's all my fault, I'm so useless..."

Faced with nothing left and nothing that could be held onto, Mei could only clutch the coat tightly in anguish, as if she were hugging Kiana...

Unfortunately, the person in her arms was eventually taken away, and all Mei was left to embrace was air.

"I can't do anything..."

Clutching the only remaining trace of Kiana in her arms, Mei's tears glistened in the night, like a blue shooting star streaking across the sky.

………………

………………

The scene freezes at this moment, with everyone at St. Freya Academy looking at Mei with heartache.

Mei stared blankly at the image of herself on the light screen, powerless to stop Kiana from being taken away. Even though it was all happening in the future, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness and bewilderment.

Overwhelmed with self-reproach and shame, she gripped Kiana's hand tightly, as if afraid Kiana would disappear before her eyes.

Seeing this, Kiana gripped Mei's hand tightly with concern, telling Mei that she was still standing beside her.

However, the tighter Mei held Kiana's hand, the more distant she felt from Kiana.

At that moment, she deeply understood why she had been so determined to reclaim the Gem of Conquest in order to help Kiana, and why she had willingly thrown herself into the World Serpent in order to control the power of the Herrscher.

Even if it means breaking ties with Kiana, even if it means betraying fate and Anti-Entropy, she must do everything she can for Kiana.

She was too weak, watching helplessly as Kiana fell into trouble and was persecuted time and time again.

From the moment the Queen descended upon Schicksal Headquarters, to three months after Kiana escaped Schicksal Headquarters, to Kiana single-handedly withstanding the Honkai energy bomb in Sky City, and finally to Kiana being taken away by Durandal...

From beginning to end, her appearance seemed almost superfluous, her only purpose being to have the Gem of Conquest stolen by Sirin and to unnecessarily burden Kiana's body.

"Mei, don't feel too guilty. We're all here for you and will try our best to help."

As the headmistress of St. Freya Academy, Theresa assured Mei on behalf of everyone that they would all be Mei's strong support.

Himeko patted Mei on the shoulder as a gesture:

"Becoming stronger isn't something that can be rushed. Mei, you're an important pillar of support for Kiana, and that alone is more valuable than your physical strength alone can provide."

Fu Hua nodded in agreement; the stronger one was, the more they knew just how terrifying Durandal's power was.

Just as everyone at St. Freya Academy was comforting Mei, a chibi-style image popped up on the screen—

[My sister-in-law is currently robbing insects, and Mei instantly turns evil, brandishing a forty-meter-long sword!]

Chapter 113 (7k5) Mei's Forty-Meter Machete

Fu Hua patted Mei on the shoulder, signaling her not to feel too much pressure because of her defeat to Durandal.

Durandal, who easily defeats Mei in the scene, doesn't seem to exude much pressure. However, Fu Hua knows that Durandal would likely be no match for Mei and Kiana combined, even if they were to face the combined power of the Herrscher in the future.

Bronya remained silent beside her. Compared to Mei, who was repeatedly persecuted in the scene, she barely even had a single shot of being humiliated.

Bronya felt a strong, silent persecution and malice.

As for Mei's strength, no one can do anything about it.
