Moreover, in addition to being careful about Raiden Mei's rhythm, you must also be wary of another person - Bronya.

That's right, since Mei Raiden is the most important target of Cocolia's operation this time, she must have sent her right-hand woman, Bronya, to monitor Mei Raiden. I'm afraid that I and others will soon come into Cocolia's sight.

It was a headache, but I couldn't stop Kiana from contacting Raiden Mei, because this was the easiest and most effective way to gain her trust. And it was only a matter of time before I faced Cocolia, after all, I was supposed to stop her from creating a great collapse.

"I hope it's Bronya who is watching. After all, Bronya can still do something with Seele. The rest of the people are not so easy to deal with, especially Xingmal and the clone Watt. They are the type who don't listen to others and their abilities are very tricky." Wang Chen thought silently in his heart.

"Mei, this is it." Suddenly, the door of the restaurant opened and a vibrant voice sounded from the door. Wang Chen stopped thinking and looked towards the door.

In addition to the familiar white-haired ball sucking saliva, there was a very young and beautiful JK girl carrying a bag next to her. The girl had classic black and purple straight long hair and a pair of deep black and purple eyes. When she got closer, I found that she had a long and high ponytail tied with a cute lavender bow.

The girl's face had a mature beauty beyond her age, but her expression still retained her youthfulness. However, there was still a hint of gloom between her brows, and she looked like she was troubled.

"Ding - system prompt, you have come into contact with an important parameter point person - Raiden Mei, the achievement reward is 200 world synchronization parameter points, and the current points are: 580. The other party has 5400 synchronization points remaining to be obtained, please continue to maintain close contact." The system also revealed the identity of the other party.

"Hmph... Brother-in-law, I thought you were talking about finding a talent, but it turns out you kidnapped a girl. Just wait and see how I'll tell my sister about it." After Kiana found Wang Chen, she sat next to him with Raiden Mei.

"Don't talk nonsense, I have told you the whole cause and effect. But you, don't you want to introduce your new friend?" Wang Chen said expressionlessly.

"Hello... my name is..." Mei Raiden seemed a little reserved and spoke slowly.

"Hey! Senior Raiden Mei, why are you here?" A sudden call was heard.

"What? Do you know him?" Wang Chen turned his head and looked at Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple and asked.

"Of course I know her. We are both from Qianyu Academy, and Senior Raiden is a famous lady in our school, known as the 'Queen of Thunder'." Penglai Temple Jiuxiao seemed very excited and said.

"Huh? I thought Jiuxiao knew about Mei because of that scandal... but it seems that Jiuxiao doesn't know about it." Wang Chen frowned. He was ready to interrupt Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple to avoid him saying something that would irritate Mei Raiden.

"I have looked for Senior Sister Raiden several times before, wanting to invite her to join the team. I didn't expect that aibo's partners were so powerful that they could successfully invite Senior Sister Raiden." said Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple.

"You...you are the first-year student? Your name is...Hōraiji Kūsō?" Raiden Mei obviously remembered something from the other party's words and asked.

"Oh! It seems that the 'Queen of Thunder' still remembers me. Are you finally willing to join my team, fight against the predicted disaster, and embark on the road of saving the world?"

"Hey, you weirdly dressed guy, stop talking incomprehensible words. Can't you see that Mei is in trouble?" At this moment, Kiana, who had been holding it in for a long time, couldn't help but shouted angrily.

"No...it's okay, Kiana. Houraiji-san has always been like this. I don't really dislike her." Raiden Mei forced a smile, and then said, "Just don't always say some weird prophecies in front of me. Sorry, I don't really understand these topics."

"Okay, Jiuxiao, sit down quietly. You haven't finished writing your diary yet. Kiana, you too, we're just waiting for you to order." Wang Chen threw the menu to Kiana casually, ending the somewhat frictional topic.

"Oh, it just so happens that I'm hungry. Mei, Mei, take a look and see if there's anything you want to eat. Just order whatever you want. Although my brother-in-law looks expressionless and fierce, he's actually a very polite person." Kiana happily took the menu and began to communicate with Raiden Mei.

Looking at the desk that had become quiet again, Wang Chen regretted bringing Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple. The draft of words he had prepared in his mind to communicate with Mei Raiden had to be kept to himself for the time being.

"Aibo, aibo." Suddenly, a small hand bumped into his waist. Wang Chen looked at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. Before that, the other party just pointed at his phone, then lowered his head and stopped talking. Wang Chen felt the slight vibration of his phone.

When he turned on his phone, it was indeed a message from Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple. They had exchanged contact information on the way here.

"aibo, we have to help Raiden Mei," the message read.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem with Mei Raiden?" After seeing the content of the message, Wang Chen seemed a little curious. Could it be that Jiuxiao knew something?

"I've told you, Aibo, that I carry a revelation from heaven. Although I was unable to reveal the full extent of the revelation in my dream, the moment I came into contact with Senior Raiden, the revelation buried deep in my soul revealed its tip of the iceberg."

"Tell the important point!"

"Wow... What I mean is, I foresee that a terrible disaster will befall Raiden Mei, and the filth and sin of the entire city will surround Raiden Mei and eventually erupt. The prophecy even tells us that only saving Raiden Mei is the key to preventing the end of the world. Otherwise, the world will fall into endless darkness."

After reading this message, Wang Chen looked at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao strangely, and became more and more suspicious. Does this person really not have any holy marks? Why does it feel like everything the other party said is right? It seems that bringing Jiuxiao here is the right decision after all, and he retracts his previous inaccurate evaluation.

"But now I see that Raiden Mei is fine. How are you going to save her?"

"Hmm... Maybe it's because the disaster hasn't happened yet. But the signs have already appeared. Aibo, do you remember that I just called her the Queen of Thunder?"

"Well, is there anything special about it?" Wang Chen, who was familiar with the plot, obviously knew it, but he wanted to hear what Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple knew about Mei Raiden.

"Raiden Mei... It should be before I entered school. She was once the top figure in Senba Academy. Because of her noble birth and cold temperament, she was worshipped by many people. And it is said that she defeated 12 warriors who tried to woo her in one day, and thus won the title of 'Raiden Queen'."

"Wow, she's really an important figure... But is what you said true? How could such a young lady be such a good girl? And she looks so reserved and polite, which is completely different from the description in your message."

"Right, Aibo was also surprised, right? He couldn't connect the Lightning Queen with the Lightning Mei in front of him. But this is the precursor I want to talk about. Aibo, you know ME Club, the temple that gathers the crystallization of the world's technology."

"Yes, I also know that ME company had an economic scandal a while ago, and the president was arrested and imprisoned because of it. What's his name... Raiden Ryoma... What do you mean?"

"It seems that Aibo has already guessed it. That's right, Raiden Ryoma is Mei Raiden's biological father. Ever since Mei Raiden's father was arrested, her reputation in the school has plummeted. She has become known as the daughter of a criminal. The loyal servants who once surrounded Mei Raiden have also dispersed. It's really ironic that the dignified Queen of Thunder has become a despised rat overnight."

"Hmm? Jiuxiao, you don't really care about these things." Wang Chen was a little surprised after reading this message. It turned out that Penglai Temple Jiuxiao knew the current situation of Raiden Mei, but it seemed that he didn't resist Raiden Mei at all. But it's also true that if someone like Jiuxiao, who is righteous and has a bit of a middle school personality, is really like those students who like to slander and use cold violence, his personality will collapse.

"Don't compare me to those ordinary people, aibo. But I guess it's because of all the bad things she's experienced that Mei Raiden has become like that, like an abandoned puppy."

"So what's the omen you're talking about?"

"Oh, the omen refers to this incident. As for the reason for this judgment... Didn't I say that I once looked for Mei Raiden and wanted to invite her to join? At that time, I noticed that she was the singularity of this world and an indispensable part of the road to saving the world. But after this incident happened, I noticed that disaster and darkness emerged from her body, and it was getting worse and worse. I tried to contact Mei Raiden several times to resolve this situation, but for some reason, as if being blocked by the law of causality in the world, every meeting would be forcibly separated by an invisible wall, and even my words could not be delivered to her."

"So mysterious?"

"Well, fortunately, everything went smoothly after meeting Aibo. Just like a warrior who obtained a holy sword, he easily smashed the blocking wall and cut through all the obstacles along the way. Now that I have successfully contacted Raiden Mei, it is the best proof!"

"Um... let's talk about how we can help?" Wang Chen scratched his head. This matter was mainly due to Kiana's help. After all, the significance of taking down Raiden Mei in three days was there.

"It's simple. Since the sign of the precursor appeared because Mei Raiden was hit and changed, all we have to do now is to make Mei Raiden return to her previous state. Help her regain her confidence or something like that."

"After all the beating around the bush, the bottom line is that you, Jiuxiao, want me to help Raiden Mei get out of the predicament of being hit by her father, right? Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Jiuxiao to have such a side to him. If you tell me honestly and frankly, I will agree." Wang Chen was a little bit naughty and deliberately replied.

"That's not the case! What I said is true. This is really about saving the world!"

"Okay, okay, it's all true. The food is here, let's eat first." After saying that, Wang Chen put down his phone, leaving Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple alone, feeling depressed.

However, Wang Chen also kept an eye on Penglai Temple Jiuxiao because of this incident. It seems that Penglai Temple Jiuxiao has some unknown abilities and secrets, and it is possible that he has some unclear connection with the Jiuxiao in the Erbengzi world. However, these issues can be put aside for later. The most important person now is indeed Raiden Mei.

"System prompt: Since you have touched upon the core figure of the Great Collapse in Changkong City, the main quest - saving Changkong City - has been started. Rewards will be given based on the degree of completion, up to and including a random three-piece set of fixed gold-level weapons/skills/stigmata/items." This was the prompt sound issued by the system after being in contact with Raiden Mei for a while.

Chapter 15: Fencing with Mei

"System, what does this random golden three-piece set mean? What good things are in it?" Wang Chen asked.

"Just like the rewards for the ten-consecutive card draws are divided into three levels: blue, purple, and gold. The gold-level weapons/skills/stigmata/items random three-piece set naturally corresponds to the gold-level items in the card draw pool. The three-piece set will be fixed in the four categories of weapons, skills, stigmata, and items, and three items will be randomly drawn. By the way, the products of this gold random three-piece set will be adjusted to a certain extent according to the host's current situation."

“Directional adjustment?”

"That's right. In other words, generally speaking, the items that come out may not be the best, but they must be the most suitable for the captain at the moment." The system explained.

"Hmph, it looks like the final reward for the main quest is pretty good, right? But isn't it a bit too monotonous to have only one main quest?"

"As for the other side quests in Changkong City, the host has to wait until he continues to explore and meets the triggering conditions. Only then will the system naturally present the corresponding quests and the corresponding rewards after completing the quests."

"Well, this at least proves that Changkong City is still relatively peaceful." Wang Chen put his hands behind his head, raised his head and squinted his eyes. He looked very comfortable after just finishing his meal.

It would be nice if such peaceful days could continue forever, Wang Chen couldn't help but think so. However, looking down at Mei Raiden, who seemed a little nervous and restrained even after dinner, Wang Chen knew that if he didn't appease Mei Raiden, this time bomb, first, such peaceful days would end early.

"Although I was interrupted by Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple just now, I just finished my meal. Even the most depressed person can feel a little relaxed and at ease. It also brings the diners closer together, making it a good time for a hearty chat. Well, I guess that's why people usually prefer dinner and drinking parties when they want to talk about things." After Wang Chen made a draft in his mind, he began to ask.

"Raiden-san, I hope my Xiaoqi didn't do anything that was too troublesome or embarrassing for you at school. If so, please forgive me."

"Hey! What are you talking about? What do you mean by trouble? Am I that bad?" Kiana said, getting angry immediately, as if she heard her reputation being belittled in front of the person she likes.

"No...nothing happened. Kiana didn't do anything to embarrass me. On the contrary...Kiana took good care of me these days." Raiden Mei shook her head slightly and answered politely and gently.

"Is that so? But I am quite familiar with Xiaoqi's behavior and personality. In the future, I'd like to ask classmate Lei Dian to take good care of my Xiaoqi. Don't let her get into any trouble." Wang Chen said slowly.

"Where is the matter..."

"Hmph, stupid brother-in-law, you act like you know me so well, but it's obvious that we've only known each other for a short time." Kiana pouted and muttered softly.

"By the way, I haven't heard you two talk about how you two know each other." Wang Chen asked. Raiden Mei seemed a little nervous when asked this question, and Kiana rarely spoke directly, but looked at Raiden Mei first and asked for her opinion. After seeing Raiden Mei nod slowly, she began to speak:

"This story started two days ago. There were a few guys in school at that time..." Kiana started talking about how Raiden Mei was bullied at school, and then she told her how she passed by and how she used force to drive away those guys who bullied Raiden Mei.

"I didn't expect something like this to happen... But what I didn't expect was that someone like Lei Dian would endure bullying from the other side." After listening to this, Wang Chen just nodded and said slowly.

"Well...well, I don't understand what you mean." After Wang Chen said this, Raiden Mei trembled for some reason, then raised her head and asked.

"Because I can see that, classmate Raiden, you have the ability to subdue the opponent. Ordinary students, especially those upper-class ladies, may not be your opponents." Wang Chen pointed at Raiden Mei's palm and said slowly.

"These are a pair of good hands that have been immersed in swordsmanship for many years. The marks carved on the hands by years of hard work and practice are the best proof."

"..." Raiden Mei was silent for a while, and finally smiled helplessly and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Wang Chen to be an expert in kendo."

"Eh? Mei also knows kendo? Like in the comics, the kind that can perform gorgeous sword skills?" Kiana seemed a little excited and said.

"There's nothing to brag about in family martial arts. What's more, even if you have the power, you can't change the status quo, right?" Raiden Mei shook her head and said.

"Maybe it can't change the status quo, but at least it can shut up the annoying flies." Wang Chen stood up and said, "Student Lei Dian, the more you tolerate them, the more those people will push their limits. Sometimes, necessary resistance can often break the status quo unexpectedly."

"This... maybe what you said makes sense, but..." Raiden Mei seemed a little hesitant. After all, after the sudden blow and a month or two of cold violence and bullying, she had already developed the habit of endurance, and even her temperament was completely different from before. This was not something that Wang Chen could change with just words.

"It's okay. I think what you need most right now is a little confidence, so why don't you start with what you are best at? For example... kendo?" Wang Chen said.

"kendo?"

"That's right, are you interested in a kendo competition with me? Whether it's to regain your confidence or to exercise and relax your mind, I think this would be a good start." Wang Chen said.

"Oh? A duel of wills and consciousness between swordsmen? That's great. Communication and exchanges between savior partners are quite necessary. As a savior, you can't help but witness the struggle and growth of your partners." After hearing this, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple also spoke excitedly.

"I also want to see Mei's swordsmanship. Humph, by the way, I also want to see how you, my brother-in-law, get humiliated! You always say bad things about me, Mei, show me your authentic skills!" Kiana also said from the side.

"Well... okay, I accept it." Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Raiden Mei had no choice but to accept it.

"I just don't know where there is a kendo gym nearby that I can borrow to try out." Wang Chen pretended to think about it. After all, Wang Chen knew that Raiden Mei's family had a kendo gym.

"Well, why don't you go to my house? My house is quite big and happens to have a kendo field where you can practice." As expected, Mei Raiden said.

"Going to Mei's house? Sure, sure!" Kiana seemed very excited. Wang Chen obviously knew what Kiana was thinking. It was nothing more than staying overnight at Mei's house.

So after Wang Chen settled the bill, everyone went to Raiden Mei's house. Shortly after they left, a silver-haired girl with a double spiral drill was quietly following behind them from a distance.

……

Raiden Mei's House

"Wow, Mei... your house is much bigger than mine." Kiana stared with wide eyes at the very luxurious villa with a courtyard. Even Wang Chen had to sigh that the world of rich people is different, and poverty limits his imagination.

"It just looks good from the outside... The house has been emptied of everything, and it usually looks very deserted." Raiden Mei just smiled reluctantly, opened the door, and led everyone into the house. As Raiden Mei said, the whole hall looked empty, without any tables or chairs.

There is a white plastic chair on the balcony that looks like it came from a food stall.

White plastic chair!? Instantly, Wang Chen's eyes lit up, and he quickly ran to the chair and sat down calmly.

"I'm sorry, there are no chairs or sofas in the hall. The plastic chair is what I usually use to read. There are cushions in the kendo room for resting... I'll go change my clothes first." After saying this, Mei Raiden hurried to the kendo room.

"Well... let's go over there too... Brother-in-law? What are you doing?" Kiana was about to follow, but then she found Wang Chen sitting on a plastic chair, motionless, with his Shizhou Muramasa placed next to the chair, and his hair was standing up for some reason.

"Brother-in-law, do you still want to fight? If not, give me your knife and let me go play with Mei first." Kiana stretched out her hand and said.

However, Wang Chen just said slowly: "If you want it, you have to come and get it yourself..."

Then Wang Chen slowly stood up and turned around. Black dust came from nowhere and floated away from the white plastic chair. Then Wang Chen said, "You already know the rules." After that, an inexplicable drum sound rang out.

"Ah, you guys continue. I just noticed that there is a drum set piled here and it hasn't been moved away." It was Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple who was trying to play the drum set. As a result, this one beat attracted the attention of two people.

"Why haven't you come in yet?" Raiden Mei had also changed into her kendo training suit and walked out. She saw the three people looking at each other, not understanding what was going on.

"Hey, it's okay, let's go in." Wang Chen coughed dryly and tidied his hair, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Tsk tsk, you said Jiuxiao was a middle school student, but you are not bad at being a middle school student." Only the mocking voice of the system echoed in Wang Chen's ears. There was no way, could he not help it? Who could resist the power of that man?

……

In the kendo room, Wang Chen and Raiden Mei both held bamboo swords and faced each other, while Kiana and Houraiji Jiuxiao sat on cushions and watched the duel between the two.

Mei Raiden took a deep breath. Since her family had met with a sudden change, she had not touched kendo much. Without her father's constant teaching, and without the mysterious Sword Saint Houmu to practice with her and listen to her heart, practicing alone... was very uncomfortable. And when she practiced, she would think of the time when her father accompanied her in the past, and then compare it with reality... it seemed even more sad.

Therefore, Mei Raiden gradually rejected practicing kendo and even thought about forgetting it completely. After all, only by forgetting it, she would not suffer from the pain of memories.

However, she did not expect that she would hold the bamboo sword again today. It was strange that she accepted the other party's invitation to practice kendo so easily. Is it because people who practice kendo are close friends, or is there some other reason? Mei Raiden did not know the reason. She only knew that she should try her best to show her skills after many years. This was what her father taught her, the necessary etiquette and respect when facing people of the same practice.

"The successor of Beichen's sword, Mei Raiden, is here!" Mei Raiden held the bamboo sword with both hands and raised it to shoulder height, with the tip of the sword pointing at Wang Chen.

Watching Raiden Mei's familiar starting movements, Wang Chen suddenly felt dazed for a while. For some reason, when his sight was focused again, he saw a figure again. It was also [Raiden Mei], with the same posture, but she said: "Captain, I'm here to ask for your guidance again today."

"Hmm..." Wang Chen nodded slightly, and then performed the same starting posture of Beichen Itoriu, as if he was really ready to teach.

"Huh?" After seeing Wang Chen's starting move, Raiden Mei was a little stunned. Why did the opponent also use the starting move of Beichen Ittoryu?

"What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to attack?" Wang Chen's voice came over.

"After all, the captain has no flaws." [Raiden Mei] smiled, and then swung the first sword.

Beichen Ittoryu - Beichen Ichizan

"Beichen Yizizhan!" After hearing Wang Chen's voice, Raiden Mei gritted her teeth and used her most habitual move to attack Wang Chen.

"See through!" But Wang Chen did not swing the sword, but just turned sideways, stepped on Raiden Mei's bamboo sword with one foot, and then struck Raiden Mei's chest with the sword.

"Ugh!" First, his hand almost couldn't hold the bamboo sword because of Wang Chen's kick, and then his chest was hit by the top of the bamboo sword, and his body took a few steps back.
