Why are all the people in my chat group rumored to be from the outside world?

"So reliable, Aige!" x3

Not long after, in an alley, Yu Jin, dressed neatly, raised two middle fingers at four regretful-looking losers.

Chapter 61 Raiden Mei Wants to Move Forward

The morning sun shines on the streets, and the people of Changkong City begin their daily lives.

Inside a breakfast shop, Yu Jin rested his chin on his hands, listening with a smile to the person next to him recount the black dragon he had seen the day before.

He left the breakfast shop satisfied only after hearing people praising how graceful the dragon's figure was.

"Oh, it feels like a hero who has saved the world and is now hiding among the masses, listening to their praise." Yu Jin stretched and brushed past some students and office workers.

The people passing by were basically discussing three issues that were out in the open in Changkong City.

One is a mythical creature that suddenly appears.

The other one is the Me Society, which has become a dilapidated building.

The last one is the long-lasting light curtain in the sky after the reactor exploded that night.

The citizens of Changkong City were unaware that their lives were nearing their end yesterday, but they were pulled back from the brink.

No one knew about this, and naturally, there was no gratitude.

Ember and the others didn't need any thanks; they did it simply because they wanted to. Oh, and of course, the mission had to be completed.

Looking at Raiden Mei standing in front of the house provided by Anti-Entropy, Ember called out to her in confusion.

"Thunder and Lightning Meiyi."

Hearing the familiar voice, Raiden Mei turned around and saw Ember walking towards her.

Good morning, Ember.

Good morning! By the way, what brings you here so early?

"Oh...is it early?" Raiden Mei, who hadn't closed her eyes at all since yesterday, said.

"It's alright, but those lazy dogs probably haven't woken up yet." Yu Jin said as he took out his keys and opened the door.

"Come in, make yourself at home."

"excuse me."

Yu Jin brought some of the groceries he had bought into an open kitchen.

He asked curiously as he prepared the vegetables in his hands.

So, is there something you need?

"There are indeed some things I'd like to ask everyone."

Raiden Mei wanted to step forward to help, but Ember stopped her.

"Your cooking is so delicious, so you don't need to cook."

Raiden Mei was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Isn't it a good thing to cook well? Why am I being criticized?

Of course, Yu Jin planned to give his four teammates a good thrashing. If the cook joined in, wouldn't it be pointless for him to get up so early?

"If you have any questions, just ask. I'll definitely answer you if I can," Yu Jin said as he put the bitter melon into the juicer.

Cocolia is dead.

"Yes, you killed him."

As she said this, Ember was somewhat emotional. In her anger and determination to kill someone, Raiden Mei did not transform into the Herrscher in the story, but instead reverted to her former self.

I still remember the request they made to them while we were in the car.

Let her face Cocolia alone.

The group of people would definitely disagree, because in their eyes, Raiden Mei was just a high school student. How could she possibly be a match for a seasoned veteran like Cocolia?

But the thunderous force she unleashed revealed her determination to everyone.

Everyone agreed.

Even later on, Sajō Aika was still kept behind the other person to prevent any accidents.

Seeing the somewhat sentimental Ember, Raiden Mei closed her eyes and sighed.

“Cocolia is dead, but my life can never go back to what it was before. Of course, I never thought I could go back to what it was before.”

Raiden Mei opened her eyes and looked at her hands.

“This world is completely different from the world I once imagined. I can no longer stay where I am. I must move forward because only in this way can I protect the people I want to protect from the possible disasters that may occur behind me.”

Raiden Mei recalled the events, the origin of everything—Cocolia.

The suffering she endured during that period was caused by one person's selfish desires, and it almost led to the entire Changkong City becoming a dead city, with millions of lives becoming sacrifices to the conspirators in an instant. Such a thing... is too terrible.

She didn't want such a thing to happen around him again, and if she could, she wouldn't want such a thing to happen in the world at all.

Pressing the bread into the bitter melon juice, Ember said, "Your idea is right. Your world will have a lot of big troubles in the future. Even if there is no Cocolia, there will be others."

For example, Otto, Otto, Otto and so on.

Raiden Mei remained silent for a while before speaking: "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like you know a lot of things, like... the future."

"Yes, I do know some things." Yu Jin did not deny it.

"So just say what you want to ask here, there's no need to beat around the bush."

"I want to become stronger, I want to become stronger quickly, so I want to ask for your opinion."

Faced with Raiden Mei's serious gaze, Ember casually added the wasabi to the scrambled eggs.

"There is indeed a way to get stronger quickly, but it's not very stable, and you might have to get a few beatings."

Raiden Mei's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "What method is it? I don't care about being beaten or anything, I can take it!"

Did those two doctors tell you about your condition?

"They say I am... a Herrscher, a Herrscher who is not well-developed."

“Yes, that’s the situation. After all, you didn’t absorb any Honkai energy. By the way, how exactly did you awaken?” Ember poured the white, milk-like liquid he had bought into a cup.

“At that time, I heard a voice that said she would help me kill Cocolia. I refused her and said that only I could kill Cocolia. Then I awakened.”

What else could Ember say?

Awesome!

"Could it be that you can still hear that voice talking to you in your head right now?"

Taking advantage of Raiden Mei's shocked expression, as if asking "How did you know?", Yu Jin's lips twitched.

You wouldn't be destined to be twins on the other side of the river, would you?

Ember shook his head, then revealed Raiden Mei's way of becoming stronger: "If you're underdeveloped, just eat your fill."

Ember placed the breakfast on the table and then pointed to the sky.

"That light screen above the cloud is the remnant of Honkai energy. Go and eat it all, and you'll probably awaken your power."

"……It's that simple?"

"That's what happens when you're born to be strong! Oh, right!"

Ember looked at Raiden Mei with a serious expression: "After you get stronger, I suggest you stop practicing swordsmanship and study more physics to become a scientist. Then you can use a million horsepower to shatter the Honkai."

What are you talking about?

Ignoring Raiden Mei's confusion, Ember decisively knocked on all four doors.

"Stop living the life of a pampered young master and young lady, you lazybones! Get up and eat the breakfast Mei made for you!"

what?

I didn't even go into the kitchen, how am I supposed to make a loving breakfast?

As Raiden Mei stared blankly, wondering, "Who am I? Where am I? What did I do?", the four doors slowly opened.

The four lazy dogs in Yu Jin's eyes walked out of the room with lazy expressions.

"Mei, good morning~" x4

Ember: "And me?"

"Go to hell, waking me up so early." x3

Aika yawned, then smiled faintly at Raiden Mei and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mei."

Raiden Mei instinctively wanted to deny it, but then she saw the meaning in Ember's eyes when he turned around.

Don't say it!

Raiden Mei withdrew her movement and nodded with a stiff smile on her face.

The others praised the food as they went into the bathroom to wash up. Soon, the six of them sat down at the table, looking at the delicious-looking breakfast in front of them.

The doctor gave Raiden Mei a thumbs up again.

"It looks delicious. Mei, thank you for your hard work."

Mei just kept smiling.

"Alright, if we don't eat now, we'll be letting Mei down. You lazybones, hurry up and eat."

No one refuted Ember's words. They all picked up their breakfasts and took a bite at the same time. At that moment, everyone's expressions froze.

Of them, only Kevin had an "I knew it" expression on his face, and he even gritted his teeth and continued eating.

Yu Jin seemed to sense that something was wrong with the others and asked them in confusion.

"What's wrong? Is the breakfast Mei made not good?"

Hoshi gritted her teeth and swallowed the food in her mouth: "Wha...how could this be? It's so delicious, Mei!"

After saying that, she quickly picked up her glass of milk, and after taking a sip, her expression became even more interesting.

Aika used imaginary number magic to teleport the food she was holding in her mouth to another location, then praised, "Well done."

Faced with everyone's gratitude, Raiden Mei's smile became even more strained.

She felt unworthy of it.

However, the doctor had a blind spot.

Looking at the embers in front of him, at Raiden Mei who had been silent all along, only nodding and smiling, and then at the kitchen, the Doctor understood.

"Damn it, we've been tricked! This bastard made this breakfast!"

The embers immediately broke the spell.

"Hahaha, it's...delicious, isn't it? Although it's not Mei's lovingly prepared breakfast, it's still something I made with care~"

"I knew Mei was beautiful and kind-hearted, how could she possibly do something like this! Ember, I really have to show you who's the boss of the chat group." Hoshino suddenly pounced on Ember.

"I've got him under control. Shove this into his mouth!"

Ember: "Don't bring that kind of thing near me!"

Doctor: "You dog donkey, you're no longer human! Take this! It's from your lovingly prepared breakfast!"

Aigo: "It's shameful for embers to waste food, open your mouth and eat it all."

Kevin looked at the food in his hand, a look of confusion in his eyes.

Ah, was this made from embers?

He glanced again at Raiden Mei's face, a face that looked remarkably like his girlfriend's.

Kevin never blamed the bad taste of the food on Ember, after all...

This was just his daily routine back then (sad).
