"correct......"
Thinking of this, Bronya looked down at her outfit - this combination of a modified kimono maid outfit and a fox mask seemed somewhat unique if she looked closely. Should she take a picture of it and show it to Seele?
But it’s hard to take a selfie with this outfit completely covered, so I need someone to help me.
"Well......"
"Little sister, do you need help?"
Suddenly, just as Bronya was thinking, a girl's voice came from the side.
Bronya turned her head and saw a purple-haired girl wearing a purple kimono looking at her with a gentle and warm smile.
"I'm sorry for talking to you all of a sudden. I saw you standing here hesitant, so I asked you. If I misunderstood..."
Seeing that Bronya didn't say anything, the purple-haired girl explained somewhat awkwardly.
Shaking her head slightly, Bronya handed the phone to the purple-haired girl: "Can you take a full-body photo of Bronya?"
"Full body photo? Sure."
With a slight smile, the purple-haired girl came to Bronya with her mobile phone, motioned for Bronya to stand slightly, and then gently pressed the screen.
"Crack!"
Along with the flash, a full-length photo of Bronya appeared on the phone screen.
After taking the phone back from the purple-haired girl and immediately sending the photo to Seele, Bronya nodded: "Thank you, um... Bronya's name is Bronya, may I ask who you are?"
"You don't know me~~~Oh, so you just came to Changkong City recently?"
The girl seemed a little surprised that Bronya didn't recognize her.
"Yes, Bronya just came yesterday."
"That makes sense. Although it's not my intention, and I don't mean to show off, it's rare to find people in Changkong City who don't know me. After all, I'm a public figure." The girl smiled and said, "I'm Raiden Mei, the only official miko of this Yae Shrine. Nice to meet you, sister Bronya."
Thunder Mei Yi.
(The daughter of the president of ME Club?)
Bronya immediately recalled some information related to this name. Of course, it was only some well-known information.
Mei Raiden's father, Ryoma Raiden, is a senior executive at Anti-Entropy and all his personal information is confidential. The same goes for his daughter Mei Raiden, so only the most basic information can be found.
It was really unexpected. Bronya didn't expect that she would meet Raiden Mei here.
"By the way, are you alone?"
"...Bronya and her friends will temporarily separate."
"Is that so? I'm sorry." A hint of regret flashed across Raiden Mei's face. "Since you just arrived in Changkong City, I wanted to take you to visit the Yae Shrine, but it seems that I was worrying too much. So please enjoy yourself, sister Bronya."
After saying that, Mei Raiden smiled and walked in another direction.
Judging from her appearance, it seemed that she was...going on a secret visit? But she also said that she was a public figure, and now she walked out openly like this, it was a blessing that it didn't cause too much commotion.
(No... Have you gotten used to it?)
After observing the reactions of the people around her, Bronya corrected her thoughts.
Almost everyone was not surprised by Raiden Mei's appearance. Instead, they seemed to have expected it, and they all greeted her enthusiastically. Judging from this situation, she should come out to inspect like this every time there is a temple fair, right?
"Beep beep!"
The ringing of the phone in her hand drew Bronya's attention back.
[Xier: Sister’s outfit is so cute, and Cocolia’s mother also said it suits you very well]
(Xier...)
Looking at the message from Seele, Bronya couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth - but if Cocolia's mother also saw it, I feel that the next time I go back to Siberia, I might be asked to wear this dress there too?
"Kame then what's next——"
【Bronya! 】
Just when Bronya was about to find a stall to look around, Xia Chuanhu's somewhat urgent voice suddenly came over.
Like a meteor rapidly descending in front of Bronya, Xia Chuanhu, who looked anxious, immediately asked: "Did you come into contact with anyone just now?"
"Eh? Yes, I do. What's wrong?"
[I just felt a very familiar breath, and it was very close to you, so I hurried back to take a look. Where did that person go? Take me to——]
"What? You want me to come over here? Wait, Xiao Mo, isn't this too conspicuous—"
Before Natsukawa Tora could finish his words, Raiden Mei, who had just met Bronya, suddenly turned back, walked through the crowd and came in front of Bronya again.
The two people, one big and one small, stood together again.
But this time, to their surprise, they both saw that the other was not alone, because on each of their shoulders stood a little man who was two meters tall.
next moment--
【Xiao Mo? 】
【Father————! 】
Under the dull gaze of Bronya and Raiden Mei, the blond man on Raiden Mei's shoulder pounced directly at Natsukawa Tora, shouting a name that made Bronya and the others' pupils tremble!
Father, Father King.......?!
As the title says, something happened to a relative in my hometown. Just after I posted the update on my new book, my parents rushed me to the countryside. Then they escorted the oldest person in my family to the hospital. My parents said that the old man suddenly started vomiting blood.
I'm still in the hospital now, and it will probably take a while before I can get better at home, so I've asked for a leave.
17. Mozai, why have you become so effeminate?
After a while, they found themselves in a remote grove of trees with few people inside the Yae Shrine.
Sitting on the edge of the flower bed, Mei Raiden and Bronya were still looking at each other, and on their shoulders, Natsukawa Tora and another little man who looked 70% similar to him were also sitting respectively.
"that......"
After a moment of silence, Mei Raiden spoke first: "How about... start by introducing myself? I'm Mei Raiden, an official miko of the Yae Shrine. This is my... should I say friend? His name is Mordred."
[Hey! Hello, little one who made a contract with your father! I am Mordred! ]
Mordred.
The son of King Arthur in mythology.
Bronya had read mythological stories from all over the world when she was a child out of interest, and she had heard of this name, but she didn't expect to see the real person now. What surprised her even more and made her unacceptable was...
【Ahem! 】
Xia Chuanhu coughed twice and glanced at Mordred coldly.
[Xiao Mo, how do you call yourself that? I haven't been watching you for a while, but you can't control your mouth again? ]
[Uh... No, no! Of course I know, Father! I was just so happy to see you that I forgot for a moment!]
Under Xia Chuanhu's gaze, Mordred hurriedly waved his hands in panic, like a naughty child who was afraid of his parents.
After continuing to glare at her helplessly, Natsukawa Tora looked at Raiden Mei.
[Nice to meet you, Miss Raiden Mei. Hello. I am Natsukawa Tora. I am Xiao Mo's father, who has no blood relationship with him. This child has a wild temper. I think she has caused you a lot of trouble. I apologize on her behalf. This is Bronya, my current partner.]
"Mr. Xiachuan..., can I call you that?" Raiden Mei thought about how to address Xiachuanhu, "I... I still find it hard to believe. Are you and Xiaomo a whole race?"
[We are not the same race. Xiao Mo and I were originally real humans like you. It’s just that I am now in a different dimension that humans cannot reach, and I cannot escape for the time being, so I can only show myself to others in my current form.]
[Eh? Father, you are trapped now? Is this true?]
Mordred showed a look of surprise.
[What kind of opponent could have trapped you, father? Could it be that you messed up something and are too embarrassed to show up? ]
[Xiao Mo, I can't do anything now, otherwise I'll just give you a chestnut, do you believe it? ]
Xia Chuanhu rolled his eyes at his own son Mo.
[Also, tell me about your situation. I really didn't expect to see you here. Your current situation... could it be that you are living in symbiosis with Raiden Mei? ]
【Well...】
Mordred scratched her hair, as if she was organizing her words, and after a while she explained her experience to Xiachuanhu and Bronya.
Like Meili, Jeanne and Aozaki Touko, the current Mordred is not the real body, but a servant-like existence that grew from a seed. She met Raiden Mei when she was a child. Because of a sudden serious illness, Raiden Mei was once in danger of life. Fortunately, Raiden Ryoma took her to Anti-Entropy for an operation and saved her life.
Not long after that, Mei Raiden discovered that there was a Mordred beside her, and it seemed that only she could see her.
Over time, Mei Raiden regarded Mordred as a friend that only she could get in touch with, and the two have been getting along until now, and except Mei Raiden herself, no one else knows Mordred.
So now Mei Raiden is really surprised.
There is actually another person in this world who is in a similar situation as her.
[——That’s about it. Father, do you have anything else to ask? ]
【I see......】
After listening to Mordred's narration, Xiachuanhu also raised his chin.
(It sounds like the same situation as Jeanne and Aponia. Due to the time and space turmoil they experienced when they came to this world, Mordred had to attach himself to Raiden Mei and live symbiotically with her.)
(only--)
Mordred became symbiotic with Mei Raiden after she underwent surgery for a serious illness when she was a child.
This special time point made Xia Chuanhu somewhat concerned.
If his memory is correct, the reason why Mei Raiden fell seriously ill when she was a child seemed to be because she herself became an incomplete stigma awakener. This change put her life in danger when she was still young. In order to save his daughter, Ryoma Raiden implanted one of the four Herrscher gems held by Anti-Entropy into Mei Raiden's body.
Mei Raiden was saved because of this, but she also became the body of the Third Herrscher. She only needed an opportunity to become the Third Herrscher.
And now, Mordred is living in symbiosis with Raiden Mei after the operation, so... Xiachuan Hu doesn't want to doubt his cub, but rationally speaking, a certain devilish conjecture cannot be completely ignored.
[Ms. Raiden Mei, can you give Xiao Mo and I some time alone together? ]
Natsukawa Tora said to Raiden Mei.
[After all, I have been reunited with her father and daughter for a long time, so I would like to be alone for a while and talk about our family affairs. At the same time, I would also like you to take Bronya to visit the Yae Shrine.]
"Eh? This..."
Mei Raiden subconsciously glanced at Mordred, and Mordred gave her a thumbs up, indicating that there was no problem at all and she just had to do as Xiachuan Hu said.
Seeing her friends expressed their opinions, Mei Raiden could only nod and say, "Then... little sister Bronya? Shall we go?"
"Bronya knows."
[Remember to keep a distance from me that won't disconnect and reconnect. I'll keep it that way, but don't run too far away all at once.]
Before Bronya left, Xiachuan Hu gave her a special reminder.
After nodding again, Bronya left the grove with Raiden Mei. Not until the two were a certain distance away did Natsukawa Tora and Mordred seem to let down their guard and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then--
【Father~~~~! 】
Without looking like a [rebellious knight] at all, Mordred threw himself into Xiachuanhu's arms again and rubbed his face like a little girl.
[Alright, alright~~~ Stop it, stop it. You are already so old. It has been almost 40 years since you were born. Can you learn from Custer and become more mature?]
[But I haven't seen my father for several years! Besides, you are over 60 years old and still so talkative. I am only years old at most. Compared with you, I am still a child! ]
Mordred retorted.
[So now let me enjoy the feeling of being a daughter, Father - I have been following Mei for a few years, and I am almost becoming her nanny and bodyguard! ]
[You~~~]
Touching Mordred's head in his arms, Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but smile dotingly.
18. Mordred, the rebel against her father
Natsukawa Tiger met Mordred when he was 20 or 21 years old.
