Ever heard of the tale of the red Oni and the blue Oni? Well, let me tell that story.
The red Oni was impulsive and violent, always wanting to prove its strength, never listening to reason, never listening to anything other than strength. Always the speaker with confidence, not showing fear or guilt, the red oni felt the best, the red oni was the best.
Although…
When the red Oni met the blue Oni thoughts became clouded. He was completely unlike anything she knew, he was quiet and reserved, deciding to use his head over force, if the situation called for it he would use force after all he was an oni. The blue Oni preferred listening rather than talking, the blue Oni is different from the red Oni. He preferred to be alone than to have the company of others. This left the red Oni confused, why choose to be alone, the red Oni didn't know.
So the red Oni decided to approach and offered the hand of friendship and camaraderie, hoping that the blue Oni would thank her for not leaving him alone.
But the answer surprised her.
The blue Oni refused.
The decision left the red Oni confused. Why refuse? How could anyone refuse her offers? But the blue Oni refused her, and to his solitary life he returned.
The red Oni did not understand, no matter how much she thought why she was rejected her head didn't understand.
And so she tried and tried and tried and tried...
But the answer was always the same, no matter how hard the red Oni tried, the answer was always the same. No matter how much the red Oni was rejected, the red Oni never gave up.
And so the blue Oni asked.
"Why do you continue? The answer hasn't changed. Leave me alone" said the blue Oni to the red one.
"Why do you want to be alone, I don't understand… Nobody likes to be alone" stated the red Oni.
"I like it, I always have. I'm alone but I don't feel alone " The blue Oni answer only made the red Oni more confused.
"Be my friend, that way you'll never be alone. If you refuse I'll keep asking, so accept it" said the red Oni, extending her hand to the blue Oni.
He just looked at the outstretched hand and looked at the red Oni again.
"You are a fool, nothing good will come of this friendship so just leave me alone" and so the blue Oni refused the red Oni again.
And as the red Oni said no matter how much the blue Oni refused her, the red Oni would not stop trying.
The red Oni and the blue Oni were drawn to each other like a magnet, no matter what happened, they would always find each other one way or another.
No matter where the blue Oni went, the red Oni always followed him waiting for him to accept her, no matter how much time passed.
"You didn't get anything out of it, just go away" said the blue Oni as he was followed by the red Oni.
"We'll be friends no matter how much you refuse, I'll make you see what you're missing by refusing me. That way you'll smile for the first time" said the red Oni as she walked behind the blue Oni.
The blue Oni just walked on.
Definitely the red Oni and the blue Oni, they were destined to be together for eternity, one way or another.
"I WILL BE YOUR FRIEND, LISTEN TO ME" the red oni shouted.
Together for eternity, even if the two were completely incompatible. The two Oni always be drawn to each other.
…
The rain fell in the dead of night, two individuals were in a clash.
A woman with long black purple hair and an outfit that resembled samurai armor but was short and showed more skin. The girl had horns and red eyes along with two gigantic hands that kept floating on her back. One hand held a gigantic sword and the other just floated.
The man was knocked to the ground while the woman was on his back and her arms were wrapped around the man's neck trying to knock the air out of him and make him pass out. As violent as the situation seemed, she didn't want to hurt him, just stop him.
However, as much as the man could not get up because of the woman, he began to drag himself trying to achieve his goal.
No matter how hard the demon woman put strength into the grip, the man wouldn't give up.
As the two fought, two women not too far looked away, even though they had the power to stop the two but they didn't.
One of the women had long, flowing gray hair, wore a gem across her forehead, and Chinese clothes got up the courage to look at the conflict. One of her eyes was red and the other blue giving an appearance of heterochromia.
The other was a red haired woman whose hair was tied up, she wore cybernetic armor along with a cape. Unlike her colleague, she didn't look up, even though she knew what she was doing was wrong. The act of doing nothing even though you know you could do right. But like everyone else in that place, she was selfish too.
The two girls weren't alone, one girl with her back propped up and her knees drawn up close to her chest, she hugged herself and looked at everything as if she wanted this all to end. One of her eyes was yellow and there was a strange symbol in it, the other was a light blue, a kind of wing made of energy floated behind her back, she wore a white dress with black paint and small purple parts, there was a part of armor on your hip.
The girl tightly squeezed her knees close to her chest trying to get comfort.
The woman with the appearance that looked like oni samurai was pushing, but the man just shuffled closer and closer. Tears start streaming down the woman's face.
"Please stop, stop… don't go, you don't have to go… I beg you, don't go" she tried and tried to make the man lose consciousness but little by little he dragged himself on the ground approaching his goal.
"I know it's a selfish wish but… Fulfill it, stay… everyone doesn't want you to go, so stay" she begged as she exerted inhuman strength. With one of the hands,the man took the woman's arm and tried to loosen her grip. He was physically stronger than her.
The man heard footsteps approaching, he managed to reduce the pressure of the Oni that was on his back. Turning his head to the side he sees the red haired woman standing in front of him.
The crimson valkyrie crouched down next to the two and stretched her arm close to the two. The man thought that she would help him, but to his surprise that was not what the valkyrie had in mind.
Her hand gripped the hand of the man who was taking the pressure off the Oni that was trying to make him pass out. And so she took the man's hand away, letting the Oni continue what she was doing.
The man was shocked by what the valkyrie did, and it seems that she was too since she wasn't looking at him out of sheer shame of her actions, but she didn't stop holding his hand preventing him from trying to get rid of the Oni.
He tried to use his free arm to move around and reach his goal but...
He felt two hands put pressure on his legs with the floor fastener, he turned his head and looking back, it was hard to see with the Oni's long purple black hair on his back but he saw who held him.
The woman with long gray hair and Chinese clothes was sitting on his legs preventing him from moving. She looked down without the courage to look at him, even doing a shameful act like that she didn't stop, after all she was selfish too.
The man couldn't believe what was happening, why? All he wanted was… he wouldn't hurt anyone… he didn't make anyone suffer… So why were they doing this to him?.
The man hears the noise of something metallic, seeing his vision getting dark he turns his head with difficulty forward and finds a girl with gray hair tied to a robot, she wore a blue halo, seeming to be made of energy that floated in her head, beyond to wear an elegant dress. It wasn't just the halo that floated but the little girl as well.
A metallic hand and the girl were trying to close the anomaly in front of them. It looked like a purple portal in a triangular shape that was emanating energy that manifested like lightning.
Why ?
…
Tears entered his eyes and after an uphill struggle, it finally happened.
The man broke…
"Why?... why… I… I just… want to… WHYyyyyyy?!" Using all the strength in his throat he screamed for everyone to hear and so he cried as his consciousness faded from the lack of air.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You may hate me but… at least you will stay here" and just like that he heard the Oni's voice before his consciousness faded.
The Oni finally opens her eyes after feeling the man stop fighting and slowly gets up from the man's back.
The woman who was sitting on her legs continued to stand there in shock at what she had done. He trusted her and she stabbed and betrayed him. Just out of selfish desire.
The Oni looked at the valkyrie, who just stared at nothing in front of her, the Oni knew that the crimson valkyrie must be feeling horrible for what she did.
The Oni looked at the girl floating in front of her, closing the anomaly in front of her.
"Please hurry, you have to do this before he wakes up" she screamed in a tired and sad voice.
"I'm running out big sister" and so the anomaly disappeared.
The girl who was huddled in the tree just watched the event and all she thought... All she wanted was for all that to end and things to go back to the way they were before. She lowered her head and rested her forehead on her knees.
Footsteps echoed on the night pavement, a little girl with white hair and a ponytail on her shoulder arrived, the little girl wore a nun's outfit and had a sad look on her face.
"You really did that… even against his will…" the little girl also wanted the man not to go but she respected his decision, although she didn't say anything about stopping the other girls.
"That way he won't leave… he'll be here with us like that… everything will be as it was before. Everyone will be happy" the girl dressed as a nun heard what the Oni said and showed an expression of pain and sadness.
"I don't think things can be back to the way they were before…" She lowered her head. The little girl heard it murmured and looked at whoever was making the sound. She saw the white haired girls similar to her leaning against the tree murmuring.
"This is a nightmare and everything will go back to the way it was before… this is a nightmare and everything will go back to the way it was before… this is a nightmare and everything will go back to the way it was before" and so she kept muttering to herself trying to ignore reality.
Another muttering person caught the nun's attention.
She was sitting on her legs and with her hands over her eyes trying to ignore what they saw. " What did I do… What did I do? He trusted me and I… why?"
The nun blinked and looked at the crimson valkyrie even though he couldn't see her face and even though it was raining she knew the woman was crying.
She shifted her gaze to the floating girl as she looked at the dead man's body. As much as the girl wasn't good at showing emotions, she acted like the girl didn't like what she did.
And then the nun looked at the red Oni.
"We didn't… it wasn't our choice, it was…" the sword held by the Oni's floating arm down to the ground made a metallic noise echo throughout the entire venue.
"I don't care, he's staying… he's not going anywhere… he can't go… he… he…
He can't walk into my life and just decide to walk away like nothing happened… he can't walk away like he's never met us… he can't walk away like… like… like he doesn't care. He can't!" her chest went up and down.
What the red oni said was what everyone thought but didn't have the courage to say, so all the girls did was stay quiet and the red Oni spoke.
"Even though he hates everyone?" the nun said, looking into the Oni's eyes. One of her eyes was red and the other purple.
The Oni lowered her head.
"At least he's here… that's what matters." After those words, all you could hear was the rain falling.
The red Oni and the blue Oni will get together one way or another. After all, it was their destiny to be together, no matter what happened or where they were.
The red Oni and the blue Oni were always attracted to each other.
The tale of Red Oni and blue Oni
-1-
A fishing boat was in the middle of the ocean, there were two men on board. One of them was on the radar while the other manned the network.
The man pulled the net and pulled.
"You know, sometimes I think I made the wrong choices," he said as he hauled in the net and dropped the fish into the boat.
"Why do you say that?" Said his companion as he lit a cigarette.
"I kill myself to work and for what? What do I get I have to put into it if it's not profitable, it's like I'm paying to work" he took a large tuna and hit the fish with a club.
His friend laughed "It's not like that what we do is important after all fishing is important for our country, if you stop to think if everyone in our work for the country goes into despair. And you like what you do 20 years is a long time , you know ?" He tapped his cigarette into the ashtray and noticed the radar flicker off and on.
"When you say it like that, I still think we are underpaid" he lifted the large tuna and showed it to his friend "Look at that, the kilo should be more expensive than what we sell"
"Well, we're the ones who set the price, and if we sell higher, nobody would buy it," he said as he tapped the radar.
"Must be in my head" he adjusted his hat and took the cigarette from the ashtray.
"I know, I know. I just think…" Before he finished what he was going to say he was surprised by the sound of something falling into the water and before he realized it he was completely soaked.
"CRAP!" He was startled by the water all of a sudden and turned to see that there was something pulling on the fishing net.
"Hey hey come here there's something heavy here" he tried to pull but it was quite heavy.
The owner of the boat rushed to help and began to pull.
"Damn it! What is it?" He dropped the cigarette.
"I don't know but it looks big!" He pushed.
The two managed to pull the fishing net and what they saw was not what they expected. A man was in the hammock barely awake.
"What the hell?!"
His friend wasted no time and already had the knife to cut the net.
The man was lying on his back as he looked up at the sky.
"Hey hey can you hear me? Hey how did you get here" the strange man didn't answer. He looked like he was in a trance as he looked up at the sky.
"Looks like he didn't hear you" said his friend while scratching his head.
"It seems so" he looked at the man lying there.
For the unknown man, he didn't hear anything, he didn't understand anything the two said. Even though his attention was only on what was above him, he saw a purple diamond-shaped opening closing before his eyes.
The man stretches his arm trying to grab something, but before the two fishermen can ask more questions, the unknown man faints.
The two fishermen looked at each other and then at the man.
"Who are you?"
-1-
Her eyes fluttered open and her body heaved in astonishment.
She blinked and blinked.
Placing her hand on her forehead she notices that she is sweating cold and breathing heavily.
"What was that…" It looked like she was watching someone.
Looking at the clock on top of the bedside table, the girl notices that it was still three in the morning.
"It's still too early…" She puts her head on the pillow in an attempt to sleep.
However the 'click' noise of the clock for some reason was getting louder in her head.
'Who are you?' The voice of the fishermen came to her ears.
She blinked and blinked
Click
Click
The girl sighed, "I don't think I'll be able to sleep." She got up from the bed and went to get the clothes in the wardrobe and walked towards the bathroom.
"A shower might clear my thoughts" she thought aloud.
…
A loud yawn echoed down the apartment hallway as the woman…not a zombie walked the halls.
She blinked in surprise.
"Mei? What are you doing up so early" Himeko said, looking at the clock and then at the girl.
The dark purple haired girl looked at her teacher.
"Hello miss Himeko, I couldn't sleep so I took the opportunity to start the day" she said while preparing breakfast, she looked at her teacher, "What are you doing up so early?"
Himeko yawned and walked into the kitchen to grab a banana.
"Theresa said that something strange happened near Osaka, it seems that something fell from the sky and scared some residents there. That runt asked me to go there on my day off" she said while peeling the banana and putting the peel in the bin.
That caught the attention of the Raiden heiress.
"Did something fall off?" The memory of two fishermen came to her mind.
"Looks like it, which I don't know. So I'm off, see you girls later. Let Kiana and the others know there will be no class today" Himeko said as she walked out of the apartment.
Mei Raiden blinked and opened her mouth "Miss Himeko, don't you want to have breakfast first. I'll make it real quick" but all the heiress received was a wave of her hand.
"Sorry, if I take any longer the headmistress will eat me alive. Maybe next time" and as soon as the woman left, the heiress heard the sound of the door closing.
She was alone.
"It fell…" the heiress whispered and shook her head trying to clear what was on her mind.
So she went to prepare breakfast, occupying her mind with something that might help.
…
Coming from the corridor, Mei heard the noise of someone shuffling their feet, she turned her head and noticed Kiana walking with her eyes closed. She didn't seem to be fully awake.
"Good morning Kiana, coffee will be ready soon, so don't worry it won't take long" The girl, upon hearing that, automatically opened her eyes and became fully awake.
"Seriously! Come on, come on food… food!" She was already sitting on the table hitting her like she was a child.
The Raiden heiress chuckled at the girl's attitude, truly something only Kiana could do.
But Kiana noticed something, "Wait, why so early? It's not even seven yet Mei" she asked, moving her head to the side. "But… if you decided to prepare it early, who am I to question it" she licked her lips at the thought of the taste of the food.
"Nothing much, I just woke up early and couldn't sleep" the heiress was approaching the table with the meal. For some reason she did more than usual, it had Kiana's mouth watering.
"Mei's food is the best, Definitely" she stretched out her hand to take the meal, but was met with a small slap on the hand given by Mei"
"There! Mei why?!" Kiana began to rub her sore hand.
"We should wait for Bronya, it's rude to let her eat alone at the table.
"Why do we have to wait for the midget, let's just you and me like a date. It's going to be amazing" Kiana smiled at the hint she made.
The heiress' eyes fluttered a little and she sighed, from the moment the two met the younger girl had shown an interest in her beyond friendship. Every time the Kaslana girl tried to send indirects(more like directs) at her and every time the heiress just dodged the subject.
After all, Mei Raiden was afraid of losing her best friend with the answer she would give the girl of the house Kaslana. She was afraid of being alone.
Mei Raiden moved her hand close to the girl's forehead and gave her a gentle pat with two fingers.
"Hey?!" Kiana grabbed the spot where the heiress knocked.
"You have an overactive imagination Kiana, and don't call Bronya that, it's not polite" Mei scolded her.
Kiana continued to rub her forehead, hoping the unpleasant feeling would go away.
"I wasn't kidding," she said with a pout.
"I know" she said as she set the table.
"Why do we have to wait, Mei? The short one I can wait but aunt Himeko… she always wakes up late, we'll have to wait forever" the girl Kaslana placed her chin on the table in dismay.
"Hm, well Bronya is already here and we don't need to wait for Miss Himeko" Mei said while humming.
Kiana was confused "Mei, the dwarf is still sleeping and why don't we go wait for Aunt Himeko?"
"Kiana idiotska has a lower intelligence than Bronya thought"
Hearing the voice made the girl Kaslana jump out of her chair "Where did you come from!"
"Bronya was here three minutes and fifty-six seconds ago, Kiana idiotska is just too idiotska to have noticed Bronya" Said the girl expressionlessly.
"WHAT!" Kaslana was outraged. "You who are… are… Idiot is that an Idiot" The comment didn't seem to have impressed Bronya.
"As Bronya imagined, a below average IQ" Her voice was emotionless.
"Stop calling me an idiot!" She said indignantly.
"Bronya just states the truth" Bronya said looking at the Raiden heiress.
The little girl decided to change the subject.
"Big sister, where did teacher Himeko go?" She asked the girl.
"Hey don't ignore me!" Bronya ignored her.
"It looks like Miss Himeko had an issue to attend to and had to leave a little early, she didn't even have breakfast" she finished preparing the table.
"What?! She left for a mission without warning and didn't wait for Mei's food, How ?" Kiana said, raising her voice, making Bronya put her hand over her ears.
"Noisy" Bronya whispered.
"No need to shout Kiana, and luckily for her the day was canceled until she got back" Mei said, offering chopsticks to the girls.
"Wait, Seriously!" Mei looked at Kiana.
"Sorry" she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"You shouldn't celebrate Kiana, our education is important" the heiress scolded the girl.
"Well, at least I don't need to hear the Class Rep talk about my relaxed manner in class. I don't know why she cares so much, it's not like it's going to affect her" the Kaslana girl said, puffing out her chopsticks and sticking out her cheeks.
"That's why she cares for you Kiana, you should be grateful for her special attention" the heiress tried to show the Kaslana girl's good side.
"She doesn't have to be so mean about it," she mumbled as she popped the food into her mouth. "Besides, what History and Math will help me in killing the honkai's," the comment made the heiress sigh and Bronya shake her head in disappointment.
"Bronya is amazed how Kiana idiotska managed to make it to the last year of school" the Russian girl said as she popped the fish in her mouth.
Mei made a traditional Japanese dinner with a side salad.
"I already told you! Stop calling me idiotska, you idiot" when Kiana yelled to fight the girl some rice flew out of her mouth.
The heiress sighed, the two were like oil and water. If anyone saw the two, they would wonder how the girls managed to work together to escape the city of Nagazora.
"We both know that wasn't the reason you left that end of the world" a voice like the Heiress came into her head but she decided to ignore it.
As the noise of the two girls arguing fades and fades in his head until there is absolute silence.
"Ignoring me won't change the fact that I'm right, human," the voice echoed in her head.
…
"Sometimes I wonder how long you would survive on your own… not long I guess" the voice started to tease her.
Finally the Raiden heiress responded.
"I didn't need you, Kiana and Bronya helped me. Everything that happened in Nagazora was your fault!" She answered the voice in her head.
"Hm, if I remember correctly I was saving your life, don't you remember how everyone started treating you. Quite a quick change don't you think 'queen' " her voice came with quite a bit of sarcasm.
"You destroyed everything!" She said irritably.
"I just made what you wished come true… wasn't that it? I remember well what you thought was that you wanted it all to disappear"
"..." the heiress did not answer.
"That's what I thought" the voice snorted.
"..."
"Mei?" The heiress is snapped out of her trance. She blinks her eyes in surprise and sees Bronya and Kiana looking at her.
"Something wrong ?" She asks the two in confusion.
"It's just that you didn't touch the food" pointed out the Kaslana girl with the chopsticks.
"It's been two minutes and thirty seconds since the big sister put the food on the table and hasn't touched it. Are you okay?" Bronya asked worriedly.
She blinked and looked down at the table. It was true that she hadn't touched the food, the chopsticks were still untouched.
"Don't worry, just distract me from thinking about something. Nothing to worry about" Mei nodded, took the chopsticks and started to eat.
"If you say so" Kiana said as she went back to eating, Bronya kept looking at her, Mei looked back.
"It's okay Bronya, don't worry" Bronya continued to stare for a few seconds and nodded in confirmation.
While the Raiden heiress ate, an image in her head showed a man in hospital clothes and Himeko talking.
She blinked and blinked.
Maybe she was just tired.
"Oh, now that's interesting"
Really she was tired.

Principal Theresa was yawning as she signed some papers at her desk.
The little headmistress sighed as she read Himeko's message, it had been hours since she sent it.
It seems that what was identified was not a Honkai but a person, and reading the woman's message, she was having difficulties there.
The director raised an eyebrow.
"A strange signature?" She repeated aloud what was written. And it looked like the woman was in a bad mood, something about having a hard time dealing with the person she encountered.
Theresa takes a sip of her coffee, when she looked at the readings sent by Himeko she blinked in confusion.
"That's weird…" Her office door slammed open causing her to jump out of her chair and almost spilled her coffee.
"Aunt There, I'm bored!" A complaining Kiana entered the room, "Don't you have a mission for us?". Kiana looked over at the principal and saw her in an awkward position in the chair as she held the mug.
"Why are you in that position?" the younger Kaslana asked.
"It's Principal Theresa, we've already talked about this Kiana. And don't burst in like that" the principal adjusted herself in her seat.
Mei appears in the doorway with an apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry Headmistress, I tried to stop her but you know how Kiana gets when she's bored" the Raiden heiress got tired chasing Kaslana.
"It's all right Mei, I know my niece" the director glared at Kiana making her look away.
"Kiana idiotyska acts like a child" Bronya appeared at Mei's side.
"Hey!"
The little headmistress was starting to get annoyed by the noise so early in the morning.
"Is there a reason you're here so early, young lady" As much as the principal looks like a child and has a high-pitched voice, Kiana Kaslana felt a chill run down her spine.
"Well… eh… the class was canceled today and… I was wondering if you have something for us" she connected one finger to the other wiggling them from time to time.
She raised an eyebrow at her niece, "Do you want to see if I can send you on a mission?"
A smile came over her face, "You have?!" The girl was excited.
The little headmistress closed her eyes and smiled.
"No"
And Kiana Kaslana's world shattered like glass. Her knees dropped to the floor.
Mei pats the Kaslana girl on the shoulder, trying to comfort her.
"Besides, you have to worry about the Valkyrie exam, shouldn't you be studying?" She looks back at the message.
"Even you Aunt There, I'm a high quality Valkyrie it's a waste to leave me on the bench" the girl Kiana got up from the floor.
"Kiana idiotska really is hopeless," said the Russian girl sitting on the bench as she pulled her console out of her skirt pocket.
"Kiana already talked about this, we're still in training, we can't be impatient" Mei told the girl.
"Come on Mei, you know I'm top tier, don't you remember how I saved my Senpai in Nagazora" she puffed out her chest with the statement.
"The individual Kiana idiotska is distorting what happened" Bronya said without looking at the girl Kaslana.
"Well, your results will tell you" the little headmistress continues to analyze the strange signature sent by Himeko.
"Aunt There! It's unfair for Aunty Himeko to go and stay here." The director sighed, after all her niece was only sixteen years old.
"Himeko went to solve some things, she's doing a favor more than a mission. And you lady should dedicate yourself if you want to be an S rank Valkyrie as you say" Theresa scolded her niece.
"But why do I have to learn things so clearly Aunt There" the Raiden heiress sighed with the girl.
"It's not just fighting that a Valkyrie lives, when she grows up you understand" Theresa made a strange face at the computer screen.
"Damn Himeko" the woman had sent another message which displeased the director.
"Something wrong, auntie?" Kiana cocked her head to the side.
"Just Himeko giving me a headache" Why did her friend have to make things more complicated than she should have.
Mei holds her head with one hand as an image of Himeko being trapped in a headlock by a man flashes through her mind. Bronya noticed… Kiana didn't.
"Aunt Himeko is in danger, she quickly has to send us" the comment causes the principal and Bronya to look at Kiana with dead expressions on their faces.
"He he, I had to try… sorry" she was uncomfortable with the sudden attention.
"Kiana get out before I make you clean the library with a toothbrush" the petite headmistress waved her hand.
"How evil!" The director looked at her, making her close her mouth.
"We're gonna Miss Theresa, we won't bother you anymore" Mei said as she tugged on Kiana's arm.
"The only nuisance here is individual Kiana" Bronya said getting up from the couch
"You are troublesome!" She answered the Russian girl. The director glared at her niece.
"We are going!" Mei said, pulling the girl.
Theresa turned her attention back to what she was doing before but the voice of the Raiden heiress caught her attention.
"Before we go, could you answer me something, Miss Theresa?" said Mei Raiden at the door with the two girls.
The petite headmistress lifted her head and looked at the girl.
"Ask"
"What did Miss Himeko do in Osaka? Did she say something that scared the locals?" Kiana looks at Mei with the comment.
"Ah, I shouldn't say that, but for you I'll make an exception. At first we thought it was some kind of honkai, but from the reports Himeko is sending me, it looks like someone fell from the sky and gave the villagers a fright. Himeko is taking it into account of that… and it looks like the person is showing a weird signature" Theresa said, putting her hand on her cheek.
"Person… signature… like a Valkyrie?" It was Kiana who said.
"No… from what Himeko sent me… it's just weird. Me asking her to bring the person here and well… she's having a hard time" the director sighed at the memory.
"Someone? Wait, is it a boy?! Because if it is, he can't stay here auntie, Boys are perverts and want to take advantage of the situation. You can't let them!" The principal and the girls flinched at Kiana's voice.
"For starters, this is a serious matter Kiana and secondly, you know that on account of the Honkai, men are becoming rare these days, if it's a boy and he going to stay here it might be a good idea to shelter him from the energies of the Honkai" a Headmistress scolded her niece again.
"I still don't approve" she gave a frustrated huff.
Mei blinked and an image of someone in a bad mood talking to Himeko on a ship popped into her head.
"Hm, you can feel it can't you, that nice feeling" the voice in her head bothered her again but she ignored it.
"Thanks for the answer, we are going now director" Mei Raiden nodded taking the two girls with her.
"How interesting"
-1-
"I guess it's good not to be a boy, they're so… No" Kiana was complaining from the moment they left the principal's office.
Bronya walked around looking at her handheld console, "individual Kiana can stop complaining, it's hurting Bronya's ears" the Russian girl narrowed her eyes at Kiana.
"Come on dwarf you have to agree with me on this, if it's a guy I'm going to have my weapons ready" said the girl Kaslana nodding her head approving her own words.
"No, Bronya isn't mindless like idiotyska Kiana" she went back to playing on her console.
"Hey! My senpai agrees with me, right Mei Senpai… Mei senpai, oye Mei senpai" the girl Kaslana waves her hands in front of the Raiden heiress' face.
!?
"Sorry, I've just had a few things on my mind lately" she continued walking.
"You seem distracted lately," Kiana said worriedly, Bronya nodded in agreement with Kaslana.
The image of Himeko smiling and making a Shh with her finger, as if it was a sign of secrecy for the man. She couldn't see his face, it was like she was a little behind viewing the scene.
"I…"
…
"How unexpected to see you here" a voice caught the group's attention. They turned their heads to see Fu Hua with books in her hand and adjusting her glasses.
"Class' representative, good morning" Mei waves to her.
The Chinese woman raises her eyebrow, "It's almost night, Mei."
The heiress blinks and notices that the sun is already setting, "I think you're right…"
"What are you doing class representative?" Bronya asks, looking at the woman carrying a stack of books.
"Oh Bronya, I finished my reading and I'm just returning to the library" She adjusted the weight of the books to be more uncomfortable.
Kiana kicked up her heels and peeked at the top book and scowled, "Have you read all of this today? And aren't these books too advanced for people like us" she questioned.
Fu Hua adjusts her glasses and responds to the girl.
"An open mind is the deadliest weapon Kiana and I can't know if I'm at the proper level if I don't try. You should try it, you might be surprised" she replies to Kiana.
"I think I'll pass" Kiana takes two steps back.
"The Valkyrie Exam is approaching Kiana, you should prepare yourself" she said as if she was an older sister which made the girl make a strange expression.
"You look like Aunt There, I'm already an S Rank Valkyrie" she puffed out her chest.
"Oh really. Then there will be no problem with the test I presume" Fu Hua's comment made the girl wither.
"Cruel" said Bronya.
"Ah, I would like to ask you something, do you know why teacher Himeko canceled day-only class?" Fu Hua questioned the girls since the teacher and the girls lived in the same apartment. From time to time she went to visit them.
"Aunt There sent her after a boy or something" Kiana said as she tried to lighten her mood after Fu Hua's 'coup'.
"Boy?" The Chinese woman raised her eyebrow in question, it seemed like a banal reason to cancel the class.
"Principal Theresa has not confirmed the person's gender, only that they are someone. And Principal Theresa is not allowed to release information" Bronya was the one who replied.
"I know it's a boy, I'm feeling it here" she pointed at her stomach, "It never fails" her belly rumbled.
Now it made more sense… not exactly, in fact Fu Hua was more confused.
"It's okay Bronya, it seems that something happened in Osaka and director Theresa sent Miss Himeko to solve it" Mei said, clarifying the situation better.
"So it was a Honkai?" the class representative asked.
Mei shook her head in denial.
"It looks like someone fell from the sky" Mei replied, leaving the Chinese girl confused again.
"It fell?" She moved her head to the side.
"Yes, at least that's what the director said, she didn't explain much about it" Mei sighed.
…
"I understand" she didn't understand.
"Well, I'll see you later. I have to return this to the library and get new books. Remember to prepare for the Valkyries test" and so Fu Hua left.
The group watches the Class Representative walk away.
"She really doesn't stop…how does she manage to do these boring things" Kiana thought aloud.
"That's because the class representative's IQ isn't below average like Kiana idiotyska" the Russian girl started walking back to the apartment.
"Hey, just so you know I'm really smart" the girl ran to follow Bronya.
Mei blinked as the two girls walked away.
An image of Himeko smiling with an ice pack on her cheek. She was very happy. Mei could see the man from the back in some kind of kitchen.
"Hey Mei Senpai, Let's go" Kiana caught the heiress' attention.
And so Mei Raiden moved on.
…
"What a strange thing, do we leave the apartment light on when we leave?" Kiana said, looking at the lights on.
"I remember turning them off" Mei says, placing a finger on her cheek.
She felt the unfamiliar sensation grow stronger.
Bronya shook her head, "Bronya saw Big Sister turn everything off."
"So that can only mean that aunt Himeko is back" the girl Kaslana turns the lock, and as expected it was open.
The voice began to disturb the Raiden heiress again.
"Ah~ what a pleasant feeling" said the voice
Bronya follows Kiana into the apartment.
"Ah girls, you're here, I'd like to introduce someone" Himeko's voice came from inside the apartment.
"What a warm feeling," said the voice.
Mei Raiden starts to enter the apartment slowly. Increasing the strange feeling she felt.
"It's like something has been missing for a long time"
Using slow steps the Raiden heiress arrives in the room seeing a Himeko with a smile on her face, she had her elbow on the table and her hand on her cheek, the other hand was pressing an ice pack on her cheek.
Kiana was standing straight ahead, but not a sound came out of the girl's mouth.
Bronya just blinked and blinked at what she was seeing.
Slowly Mei Raiden turns her face following the direction Kiana was pointing.
"I like this feeling"
The Raiden heiress' eyes widened as the sensation built.
She saw a man from the back in the kitchen. He appeared to be preparing some meal, and judging by the smell it looked delicious.
However Mei Raiden stared at the back of the man in the kitchen, ignoring the delicious smell that was coming.
"Really something nice" said the Herrscher of Thunder.

Finally being able to develop the beginning of the story that I like, I had a time questioning whether to do the story since I was a late signatory in the Grand Order story but I made a decision and wrote the story.
I learned a lot from the Grand Order story and I intend to implement it here, but this one takes longer and I'll try to make something work since Grand Order is still my focus.
Letting you know that the story well... will be something completely different from the original, I will try to keep the personalities of the characters but the plot will take a different path from the original story.
If you have something that you found strange or cool, comment it helps a lot in the development of the story.
See you next time.
