…………
In the light screen, Alicia saw Mei and Raven's resolute expressions and raised an eyebrow:
"I have a feeling something interesting is going to happen. If I keep asking... does that seem a bit unromantic?"
"Fine, since I'm such a cute and pretty girl, I might as well give her a break."
As Alicia praised herself as usual, she relented and allowed Raven to follow closely behind Mei to find the "Deepest Place" that both of them wanted to enter.
…………
As the scene shifts to Mei and Raven exploring the path to the Deepest Abyss, Mei suddenly brings up a topic in the silence.
"...Raven, did you see that at that time?"
Chapter 137 Mei's Fall
When Mei saw that Raven had been let in so easily by Alicia, her expression twitched again.
Clearly, Mei was internally brooding over being touched on the horn, while Raven effortlessly found the "Deepest Place" simply by following behind her.
Such a contrast is definitely something Mei is not happy about.
However, Mei couldn't make a scene right away, so she could only enter the road with Raven.
At that time, Mei obviously did not know that Alicia was going to tell everyone in Paradise about touching Mei's horns with that wicked little megaphone, so she was still cautiously testing whether Raven knew about touching the horns.
If Mei knew about Alicia's sinful actions with that little trumpet, she probably wouldn't have tried to test Raven; instead, she would have simply pretended to be dead and remained silent, rejecting Raven's teasing.
During Mei's questioning, Raven, who was following closely behind her and nuzzling against Mei's "fruit that she obtained by having her horns touched by Alicia," retorted with a question:
"what did you see?"
Raven's question made Mei's heart skip a beat. Seeing that Raven seemed to know nothing, Mei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"...No, it's nothing."
However, to Mei's surprise, Raven guessed exactly what she was thinking.
Her feigned ignorance and question earlier were just the raven teasing her.
"All I saw was the whole process of you being touched on the horn, that's all, nothing else."
Raven's sudden remark nearly broke Mei's composure; she clearly hadn't expected Raven to pull such a dirty trick!
Mei thought that the fact that she touched Alicia's horn was a secret, and that no one should know about it until Alicia revealed it herself. She never expected this...
It turns out that Raven, that seemingly thick-browed and big-eyed fellow, secretly watched the whole thing?
Mei thought about it carefully and realized that with Raven's abilities, she really could secretly observe Alicia touching her horns without being detected.
Just like when she arrived at this place, the raven followed her the whole time without her noticing.
If Alicia hadn't pointed it out, Mei would never have known that a raven was following her around.
Given that the raven brought up the "horn touching" incident, it seems that the raven genuinely saw her horn being touched, and it wasn't some deliberate trick or a ploy to make her confess.
Mei in the scene is clearly unaware that, besides being seen touching her horn, what's even more humiliating is that Alicia's wicked little megaphone is broadcasting strange sounds.
After learning that Raven had witnessed the entire scene of Alicia touching her horns, Mei seemed to grit her teeth in shame.
After forcibly calming herself down, Mei put on a friendly expression and looked at Raven with feigned composure:
"...Could you please forget about this?"
"It can't be that bad, I'm not going to tell anyone."
Raven shrugged, seemingly indifferent to Mei's request, and didn't seem to care much about touching the horn.
However, Raven didn't think it was worthwhile, but Mei thought it was quite important.
This matter concerns her reputation in the Land of the Dead... Although she was already nearly dead after being poisoned by Alicia, Mei felt that she should try to salvage as much as possible.
Therefore, Mei remained solemnly cold and her expression was particularly "kind" towards Raven, who seemed indifferent and might or might not expose Mei's horn-touching incident.
Could you please forget about this?
"Oh dear, I'll have to think about that carefully~"
Raven initially seemed indifferent, but seeing Mei's serious expression and even a hint of coercion in her tone, it suddenly became more enthusiastic.
Raven wasn't a boring woman, and seeing Mei so serious, she seemed to have a bit of a urge to tease her:
"Oh dear, I really want to touch your horns too."
The raven's gaze, mimicking Alicia's, moved upwards towards Mei's head, finally settling on a perfectly positioned spot—
It stopped at the opposite corner of Mei's.
As if mimicking Alicia's longing for Mei's horns, Raven also revealed an especially fervent gaze, even displaying a touch of wistful reproach towards Mei, like someone yearning for something she couldn't have:
"I was here first, whether it's getting to know you or becoming your comrade-in-arms."
"You were able to enter this Golden Courtyard because you first entered the World Serpent."
"But Alicia touched your horn first, and I'm so sad."
The words Raven says to Mei in the scene sound like Mei's ex-girlfriend complaining that Alicia beat her to it and took over her body.
Mei's eyes twitched violently when she heard Raven's words.
Although Mei had spent some time with Raven and knew that Raven sometimes liked to joke, she had never seen her so full of resentment before, which made her show an expression of utter disgust.
Of course, when the raven strikes this melancholy pose, Mei's eyes in the scene seem to echo with a distant longing, as if she is reminiscing about a friend she has long since parted ways with.
………………
………………
Kiana, standing outside the light screen, heard Raven's words and her eyes twitched violently twice, just like Mei's.
Why does that woman named Raven talk to Mei like a little girlfriend?!
That black-feathered dodo!
Kiana glared at the short, gray-haired woman through gritted teeth, particularly displeased with her attitude towards Mei.
Taking advantage of Kiana's absence, she brazenly provoked Mei like this!
Now, they're even starting to talk about "first come, first served" because Alicia touched Mei's horn first?!
If we're talking about "first come, first served," Kiana really has a lot to say.
Among the women who appeared on the screen, when it comes to the woman who "first met Mei," among Raven, Alicia, and Aponia, is there anyone who can compare to Kiana?
When it comes to the issue of "first come, first served," is there anyone with more resentment or more confidence than Kiana?
Kiana was the first person to meet Mei at Chiba Academy;
She was also the first to rescue Mei from the despair of being bullied and ostracized;
She was the first person to approach Mei after she unfortunately became a Herrscher and try to save her.
Kiana and Mei met at Chiyu Academy in Changkong City. After entering St. Freya Academy together, they attended classes, trained, and lived together, and were always inseparable during missions.
They knew each other at such a young age, spent so much time together, and had such a deep bond!
After our parting in Changkong City, I've been watching Mei spend time with other women!
If we're talking about who has the most to say, it should be Kiana!
After Mei gained control of the Herrscher's power, the demon horns that grew on her head were something Kiana was incredibly curious about!
Kiana also wanted to touch those two corners, to see what they felt like, and to see if they would have any effect on her beloved Mei.
Kiana, whose little head is full of ideas, also has many questions about Mei's horns and wants Mei to answer them for her personally!
But ever since she was beaten up by Mei in Changkong City, she has never seen Mei again. She can only see Mei through the light screen how she is doing after leaving her...
Judging from the light screen, Mei seems to be doing quite well; at least she's getting more and more women, and each one is getting closer than the last...
Kiana could only watch helplessly as all this unfolded in front of the light screen, unable to do anything about it...
In the future, when Mei is with those women, the future Kiana will be just like the present Kiana, unable to do anything...
Even if this light screen didn't appear in the future, she would be completely unaware of Mei's experiences, and would have no way of knowing what Mei went through, who she met, or how dangerous her situations were...
Of course, she had no idea that Alicia had already thoroughly groped Mei's breasts.
Now, the raven in the light screen is standing right next to Mei, and it still has the nerve to utter that resentful, reproachful sound?!
Kiana immediately bristled and turned into a fluffy white cat. If it weren't for the light barrier, she would have definitely given that gray-haired dodo a good lesson!
………………
The scene depicting the raven's longing for Mei's horns was replaced by another scene to explain it.
In the scene, an elegant lady, as beautiful as red wine and wearing a pomegranate red dress, exudes a comfortable and refined temperament. She is sitting with the gray-feathered dodo that Kiana is glaring at with gritted teeth, and they seem to be talking about something.
The woman, as beautiful as fine wine, spoke slowly, her voice as melodious and soothing as musical notes flowing across piano keys:
"Miss Raven, may I ask you a question?"
"Please speak, Miss Eden."
With the raven's consent, the lady called Eden, seemingly a little embarrassed, slowly asked:
"I'd like to know, what changes would it bring to your life if you were friends with a Herrscher?"
The "Herrscher" mentioned by that Miss Eden, who is also Raven's friend, is undoubtedly Mei.
Judging from the previous scenes where Mei and Raven chatted happily in the same car and joked about touching each other's horns, Mei and Raven can indeed be called "friends".
Although in an organization like World Serpent, the word "friend" seems especially strange to someone like Raven who seems to be cold and aloof...
However, if you consider that Raven's friend is a Herrscher, the already strange situation seems less surprising when you mention the even stranger "Herrscher friend."
When Raven heard Eden ask about Mei, she smiled slightly at Raven's curiosity about Mei.
The fact that even an elegant lady, as refined as fine wine, would ask such a question shows that the heroes of the Golden Garden, apart from Alicia, are also genuinely curious about the horns on Mei's head.
"Oh, you mean Mei? She's no different."
