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

Kiana, who had just been moved by Mei's performance, widened her eyes upon seeing this title, recalling the video that had appeared earlier—

The video of Mei being toyed with by Alicia, falling into a trap and about to have her horns touched!

Because the video had just replayed the scene of her first meeting with Mei, Kiana had temporarily forgotten about it, but now, reminded by the light screen, she remembered it again.

Kiana still hasn't figured out whether Mei agreed to let Alicia touch her horns?

Mei's hesitant answer had left Kiana distracted and vacant, but now, upon seeing this title, Kiana felt as if she understood something!

But she refused to admit it.

"Bud, bud, what does that mean?"

"Love, lover??"

Kiana stared at the striking headline, feeling that it already told her the answer.

But this answer was even more painful than telling her directly!

Didn't you say it was just a little pat on the corner?! How did it suddenly turn into a lover?!

By the way, is Alicia dead? This title means, "Is Alicia dead?"

Under Kiana's questioning gaze, Mei, who had just been immersed in emotion, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"...Kiana, let me explain."

"It's hard to say whether it's other people... After all, Alicia probably knows more than just me..."

Although Mei wasn't sure if the title was actually hers, she felt inexplicably guilty.

However, she herself didn't have much confidence in saying this, since the video on the screen was quite coherent. After showing how she was tricked into having her horns touched, it couldn't possibly be about other people's love and hate with Alicia, could it?

Mei muttered to herself about the light screen, wondering why it had to be arranged in such a perverse way for the video to play.

First, they showed the scene where she was tricked by Alicia, then revisited her touching first meeting and redemption with Kiana, and then, while everyone was moved, they followed up with this kind of title?!

Could it be that in the future, Alicia has already become her lover?!

Mei herself didn't understand. It was just touching a corner, how could it be interpreted as so affectionate?

Mei had already assumed she would agree to Alicia's request regarding the horn touching incident, but she never expected something like this to happen afterward!

For a moment, Mei didn't even dare to look Kiana in the eye, and this guilty reaction made Kiana's already wide eyes even rounder.

Himeko and Theresa were speechless at the situation with these two kids. They were just touched by their friendship and growth, and now this dramatic love triangle was unfolding.

"It's a happy problem for young people."

The two elderly women shook their heads and sighed.

……

"Resurrect Alicia..."

Fu Hua looked at the title and it seemed to remind her of something; memories that should have been sealed or burned deep within her mind resurfaced.

"Alicia...is dead..."

Fu Hua frowned, muttering to himself about the meaning conveyed in the title.

Without a doubt, Alicia must die first in order to be "resurrected," meaning Alicia...

Fu Hua recalled the past, and she seemed to have an extremely vivid memory of "Alicia's death."

That seemed to be something Fu Hua didn't want to mention, yet it was a helpless situation she couldn't change.

Something that once brought her unimaginable shock and was extremely unexpected.

…………

Otto, who was in a state of panic at the Schicksal headquarters because Kiana and Mei's plans had gone off track, stared intently at the light screen the moment he saw the title!

His lifelong wish was to resurrect Kallen, and for this he had traveled this futile journey of five hundred years. However, the title on the screen clearly stated the word "resurrection".

Whether Alicia is dead or not is not what Otto cares about; what he cares about most is whether "resurrection" is really possible!

What form of resurrection is it? A new body with transferred memories? Or a stranger with only a body and a blank soul, needing to be rebuilt?

Or perhaps, through some means, its original memories and physical body were preserved, allowing it to awaken again?!

Otto's desired resurrection of Kallen is an absolute, original Kallen—body, memories, and soul—none of which can be flawed.

During the Second Honkai Impact, Otto used the Herrscher of the Void and Sirin to meet Sirin's mother, whom she had resurrected using the Herrscher of Death, but the result greatly disappointed Otto.

It was nothing more than an empty shell, devoid of soul and memory.

That wasn't the mother Sirin wanted, and clearly not the Kallen Otto wanted to resurrect.

Furthermore, Otto would never allow anyone to appear who resembled Kallen but was actually someone else!

That was the only thing that had tainted Otto's heart, and it particularly enraged him!

Therefore, Otto stared intently at the light screen, eager to see what the video would show.

If Mei can truly and completely revive Alicia herself, then...

A sharp glint flashed in Otto's eyes; he felt it necessary to shift the focus of the plan to Mei.

………………

Amidst the intense anticipation of the crowd, the screen revealed the content represented by the title—

As expected, Mei appeared in the scene, but she was the same Mei who had previously gained control of the Herrscher's power.

With Mei's appearance, Kiana and the others were now certain that the one who called Alicia "her lover" in the title was Mei!

Under Kiana's unwavering gaze and Mei's guilty look, Mei in the video found herself in a world of pure white.

It seems that nothing exists except Mei herself.

This unique world doesn't seem to be real, and some clever people have already guessed that it's probably Mei's inner world.

And this... makes it even more intriguing.

"In Mei's inner world, there is nothing."

"Besides... the person Mei wants to see?"

Chapter Thirty-Six: Put on Your Hat

Mei muttered to herself, and under her sweat-drenched gaze, the person in the video took a deep breath, causing Mei's heart to leap into her throat.

Kiana's breath caught in her throat, and she stared wide-eyed at the screen.

Then, as expected, under Kiana's despairing gaze, that name came out of Mei's mouth—

"Respond to me, Aria!"

Mei's cries echoed in that empty world, resonating deep within Kiana's heart with each resounding note.

Is it really something Mei would do to look up to the sky and call out someone's name?!

Where has Mei, the gentle, quiet, and slightly shy girl Kiana knew, gone?!

And what's more, he was actually calling out other girls' names!?

However, to Kiana's utter surprise, something even more terrifying happened after that cry that had shocked her for ten thousand years!

In Kiana's earthquake-like pupils, the lines of text that appeared on the screen were reflected:

……

"応达して! エリシア!

"The desire for love flows like a spring!"

"爱剣を思じてforgettingれない!!??????"

“Love Bud Palm Lifetime!!!????

"エリー, エリー, エリーシア! 黄めく中のfall, 『Gold』への道! ?????????

"The blazing heat in the extreme cold, the fierce annihilation of the fire! ???????"

"The true words in nothingness, the "commandments" of Lan! ?????????

"Solo dance in the frost, "Settuna" colorful clothes! ?????????"

After reading long passages of text that seemed somewhat difficult to understand but whose main meaning was actually clear, things unfolded as Mei had hoped and wished—

A miracle happened

In that blank world, as Mei's shouts echoed, vibrant cherry blossoms suddenly began to fall throughout the white expanse.

A pair of flawless white feet and long, shapely, full legs slowly came into view.

Following the graceful curve of her legs upwards, a beautiful, flawless young girl, like a blooming flower, blossoms with a smile.

Even the most obscure music resounds in celebration of her reappearance, singing of the embodiment of the power in her hands and the beautiful force behind her.

The alluring, fairy-like girl smiled sweetly as always, her voice clear and melodious:

"Oh my, I didn't expect anyone to get here. Was that you calling me?"

"The Herrscher of the new era, Raiden Mei~"

Reborn from Mei's inner world, Alicia stroked her beautiful cherry blossom hair, her curved eyebrows and eyes looking as if she were gazing at a long-lost old friend:

"Should I say hello too...?"

"Hi~ How do you feel?"

………………

Mei and Alicia's reunion pauses for a moment, followed by a retro yet dynamic and melancholic melody.

Under everyone's gaze, Mei in the scene actually started singing a popular love song from the past to Alicia!

Suddenly, Mei's face, frozen in the frame, began to sing with great emotion, her mouth open and eyes closed!
