She looked at the man interacting with Himeko and then glanced down at her feet.
The Raiden heiress twirled her finger around a strand of hair, Mei Raiden didn't know how to feel about the man; for some reason, John felt incredibly familiar. She felt comfortable around him, more than anyone else the heiress had ever known. But for some reason, Mei sensed that the man was avoiding interacting with her, which made her wonder why John was doing that.
The Raiden heiress was taken out of her thoughts when she heard Kiana's voice from her side.
"I don't like him. There's something strange he's not telling us. I don't trust him," Kiana said in a low voice, making sure only the girls close to her could hear.
Mei blinked at the words of the Kaslana girl. She had a strong antipathy towards the man, to the point of being irrational, which she Mei assumed was for only one reason.
Jealousy.
The Kaslana girl had never hidden her feelings for the Raiden heiress; in fact, she had always been very vocal about them, causing discomfort for Mei, as she did n't reciprocate those feelings and did n't want to ruin their friendship for her, knowing that rejection could be painful. So Mei tried to avoid such topics for the good of both of them. Bronya even confronted her one day, asking how long this charade would last or when Mei would tell the truth.
"Bronya doesn't understand why Kiana is acting like an idiotyska? Bronya's analysis shows that Idiotyska is displaying an irrational amount of jealousy," the Russian girl stopped playing on her handheld console and glanced at Kiana from the corner of her eye.
Kiana blinked and looked indignantly at the young girl next to Mei.
"And why should I be jealous? There's nothing to be jealous of! I just don't trust him," Kiana said, crossing her arms and pouting, which caused Bronya and Mei to exchange a brief glance.
"Well... ever since Mr. John arrived here, you've been acting very..." Mei didn't want to say how Kiana was acting, as it might provoke an exaggerated reaction, but the Russian girl didn't share the same concerns.
"Possessive, territorial, idiotyska. The individual Kiana looks like a dog with a bone it doesn't want to let go of. Which is ironic, considering the individual Kiana doesn't have the 'bone'," hearing Bronya's words, Kiana's mouth dropped open, and she blinked several times. Mei, on the other hand, was left speechless and wide-eyed. She never expected Bronya to say those words.
"Wh-what!" Kiana exclaimed indignantly at Bronya's words, so loudly that everyone had to plug their ears to avoid going deaf.
On the opposite side were John, Himeko, and Fu Hua, just watching the girls fight in front of them.
"They seem to be excited, unlike someone else," Himeko said with a smile on her face, glancing at John with a half-smile.
John sighed and crossed his arms. The trip from Japan to Hong Kong could be quite lengthy, which meant he would have to endure the girls' noise for a while. There was no escaping it.
"Well, if you can't fight them, join them ..." the man whispered, causing Fu Hua and Himeko to tilt their heads in confusion at his words. "Tell me, Himeko, what made you become a Valkyrie? I do n't think it's a highly sought-after job," John asked the woman, turning his head to her side, making Himeko blink at the sudden question. Fu Hua raised an eyebrow, wondering where this conversation was heading.
The crimson Valkyrie simply scratched her head and displayed a melancholic smile, which made John raise an eyebrow. Her expression was not what he had expected.
"Well, Sweetie... the reason is that my luck is terrible. You see, I wasn't born with the best health... my time is limited, so I simply decided to choose something I could be proud of within this short period of time," the Valkyrie placed her hand over her chest, as if reminiscing about something.
Fu Hua could never have imagined that her teacher had been born with health problems. She had always been so energetic and healthy... the Chinese girl asked herself why Himeko didn't seek treatment if she had a health issue.
"What's the problem you have, Himeko?" Both Valkyries looked at John, seeing him looking at Himeko with a serious gaze. John locked eyes with the Valkyrie, causing her to blink and give him a half-smile.
"~Ahhh, worried about me, Sweetie? Well, just so you know, I was born with a very weak heart. I've always had cardiac problems, venous collapses, and even heart attacks. The doctors told me there's no cure, maybe a surgery, but the chances of surviving it are very low... so when I met Theresa and learned about the Valkyries, I decided to become one and make every second count," Himeko looked down at the floor and then at her hand in her lap, her smile fading away, "I won't let something like that defeat me. Besides, I still haven't found my soulmate," the Valkyrie looked at John with a smile and blew him a kiss, but she stopped and blinked in surprise when she saw the man looking back at her with a genuine smile - a beautiful one.
"I liked you, Murata Himeko. You remind me of myself. I promised to drink with you, so I'll give you the night of your life," the man's words made the Valkyrie's eyes sparkle, and her body warmed up. A different kind of smile appeared on the woman's face her, not the typical one she used to give – it was a calm and warm smile, a genuine one.
"Thank you, John," was all she said as she looked down, and it meant more to the man than he could imagine.
"Mr. John, may I ask you something?" The man turned his head and saw Fu Hua.
"No need to call me 'Mr.' John is fine. Go ahead, ask away; I don't mind." Fu Hua nodded.
"When we were sparring, you were quite skilled. I'd like to know if you were trained by someone. It's not common for someone to push me the way you did, John. Hand-to-hand combat is something I take great pride in," the girl Fu Hua said, placing a hand over her heart and closing her eyes, clearly proud of her fighting abilities.
John blinked at her girl's question; it wasn't what he was expecting. In fact, he had even forgotten that they had fought, even though their bout had happened not too long ago. It wasn't something particularly memorable for him. He that noticed the girl's arms were bandaged and slightly trembling – perhaps he had gone overboard...
"My father made me practice when I was a child, but it's been a long time since I've trained..." What John said was only half true. While he indeed had n't practiced much, in recent years he had been forced to improve his real combat skills from him ... ever since he met Mei ...
"Why did you mention that? You said it before..." Fu Hua stopped when she noticed that John was holding her hand, surprising her.
"?!"
"Oh, you don't waste any time, do you, sweetie? Remember, you said the night was mine. You know, I'm quite jealous," Himeko winked at John, but she also noticed that he was still holding Fu Hua's hand, which made the girl completely blush. Fu Hua wasn't accustomed to physical contact with others, only when strictly necessary.
"U-um... Mr... John... what are you..." The man looked at Fu Hua and opened his mouth to speak to her.
"Did I hurt you, didn't I?" Fu Hua blinked in surprise, her embarrassment fading away as she looked at the man and then at her bandaged hand.
Fu Hua gave a small smile as she looked at her hand being held by the man.
"Don't worry, I don't mind... in fact, I'm even a little happy," the woman's response confused the man.
"Happy that I hurt you?" the man said, puzzled by Fu Hua's words from her.
"Yes, it's been a long time since I felt so alive. Normally, I teach my students how to fight, so I don't have any challenges. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy teaching them, but I'm not learning anything new from it, just applying what I already know. So thank you, I'd like to practice with you again if you don't mind," the Chinese girl looked at the man with a smile.
John blinked and looked at the bandages on the girl's hand her, then back at Fu Hua. "Sure, I don't mind practicing with you, Fu Hua, but next time, we'll use protective gear, alright?" John shook the girl's hand, and Fu Hua felt her grip; she smiled at the man.
"Of course," Fu Hua shook his hand back, and indeed, the Herrscher of Sentience was right – it was a pleasant sensation.
At first, Fu Hua had been defensive about the man, his somewhat gruff and even aggressive demeanor left her suspicious. But John was a good person, just grumpy and even antisocial, but he was a good person. Fu Hua smiled at John, and John smiled back at her.
The tense moment between the two was interrupted by a Valkyrie who felt ignored.
"John ~~ You said it would be my night, so it's not cool to ignore me and pay attention to another girl," the woman wrapped both her arms around her man's neck – Himeko was right; she was indeed jealous.
"Of course, Himeko. I'm a man of my word," John let go of Fu Hua's hand and tried to gently remove Himeko from her neck, but she tightened her grip with a smile.
Himeko, Fu Hua, and John heard footsteps stop in front of them, and they all looked to see who it was – it was Kiana, arms crossed.
"Am I interrupting something, pervert?" Kiana said with her arms crossed and a haughty expression, as if throwing shade at everyone. The three of them blinked at the girl.
"I... didn't understand what she said," John said slowly... maybe he should learn Japanese? He wasn't sure if he would stay long enough to need to learn the language.
"Don't worry about it, sweetie. She's just jealous because the person that tuna over here is interested in her only sees her as a friend," Himeko said with a smile, leaning her chin on John's shoulder.
"A bit cruel, Professor Himeko," Fu Hua adjusted her glasses, but she agreed with what the woman had said, even if she didn't express it.
"Oh... I see," John thought this should be a women's matter, and he wouldn't meddle.
Kiana didn't like that at all.
"Hey, hey, hey! You're making fun of me, even though I don't understand you, I know! Have some courage and speak in a language I understand!" The Kaslana girl said incredibly loudly, causing Mei and Bronya to cover their ears. Thanks to the Herrscher within Mei, she could understand English, and Bronya was fluent, which left Kiana as the one who could only speak Japanese.
Mei reminded herself to study English again and not rely on the Herrscher.
"Kiana idiotyska, there's no need to be so loud, we're all close to her, there's no reason to shout," Bronya said irritably to the Kaslana girl.
"It's not my fault if they're talking about me in a language I don't know!" The Kaslana girl said, looking the other way and huffing.
"How do you know they're talking about you if you don't understand them?" Upon hearing those words, the Kaslana girl froze completely.
"...I just... know," now Kiana felt tiny, as Bronya stared at her.
Mei placed her hand on Bronya's shoulder della; the two were still sitting on the bench while Kiana stood in front of Himeko's group.
"Bronya-chan, don't tease Kiana like that, you know how she gets if you do that," Mei scolded the girl. Mei truly was the oldest sister of the group, or perhaps even the 'mom.'
"I'm sorry, big sister," Bronya looked down in embarrassment.
"It's okay, Bronya," Mei patted the girl's head comfortingly.
The group felt a jolt on the ship, causing them to lose their balance slightly. As Kiana was standing, she fell on her butt on the cold, metallic floor of the ship.
"Kya!" The Kaslana girl screamed as she felt her rear hit the cold, metallic floor.
Fu Hua unbuckled her seatbelt and stood up from her seat.
"I think we've arrived; it was earlier than expected. I'll check with the pilot," Fu Hua made a reference and left.
"Why is everyone speaking English now... I don't understand..." Kiana said, rubbing her butt in frustration.
"Well, it would be a good opportunity to learn something new, tuna," Himeko said in Japanese as she got up from her seat and stretched her body after the long journey.
"Why do I have to learn a new language? He's the one here like a nuisance; he should learn Japanese!" Kiana complained as she got up and dusted herself off.
Himeko looked at John and smiled.
"Let's go?" Himeko offered her hand to the man, who looked at her for a few seconds and then sighed, accepting her offered hand.
"Well, we're already here, aren't we?" John held Himeko's hand as she helped him up from the bench.
While the two interacted, Raiden watched them with a strange feeling in her chest. Mei felt uncomfortable seeing her teacher being so close to the man. Himeko didn't normally respect people's personal space, and when she wanted something, she found a way to get it. Now, she was simply glued to John with a smile, and the man was trying to remove her hand from his shoulder, but he didn't seem to be putting much effort into it. Mei did n't like that at all ... Himeko was stealing her friend from her ... her…her Senpai!
The Raiden heiress blinked in surprise at her own thoughts. Why was she thinking that way? Mei barely knew John... but for some reason, she felt very jealous. Senpai... Senpai... Senpai... why did those words feel so fitting when Mei referred to John as Senpai... John-senpai...
Mei continued to stare at the two, with a single thought on her mind.
Senpai...
Tale of the Red Oni and Blue Oni
-7-
"Wow, I had forgotten how populous this place is," Himeko said in Japanese as she observed people passing by; she felt like a sardine in a can.
"Well, Hong Kong is a place with the best protection against Honkai, and it's where Anti-Entropy's technological development base is located. So, it's safer here, and I don't worry much about the Honkai," explained Fu Hua in fluent English , trying to keep up with the conversation.
John's eyes widened upon hearing what Fu Hua said.
Himeko chuckled, understanding the situation. "That's true, but it doesn't make it any less crowded. Anyway, let's make the most of our time here. I know some great places to eat and have fun."
"It's surprising that it's so crowded, but I didn't expect this many..." Fu Hua adjusted her glasses as she observed the absurd number of people on the streets.
…
"Tada! See, this is what daddy is working on. Isn't it cool?" Mei stood in front of a Mecha, striking a pose with his hand on her hip as he smiled at John.
"I must say I'm impressed; I've never seen anything like this before, but... should I be seeing this, Mei? Isn't it confidential?" John asked, scratching his head in uncertainty.
Mei simply waved her hand in a dismissive gesture. "Consider yourself lucky, Jonathan, because I, your cute Kohai, am the boss's son and financing this project. So nothing will happen to me; at most, daddy will just give me a lecture, and I'm already used to that, " Mei said with a snobby attitude as she smiled at the man.
"Don't call me Jonathan, kid... so, that's why you wanted to bring me to Japan during the holidays?" John ignored Mei, who deflated next to him while he carefully observed the Mecha. It still seems incomplete... if John were to guess, he'd say it's still in the early stages of development, maybe a prototype.
"You should thank me for bringing you here, Senpai! Do you know how privileged you are? Not even my daddy's investors have seen this yet!" The boy pulled John's arm, trying to get his attention from him, but the man just sighed. If anyone saw them, it would be a funny sight, as Mei's feminine appearance her might make them look like a squabbling couple, and Mei was taller than John. The funnier part was that John thought the boy would still grow in height; he had no further expectations of growth himself.
John turned his head with a tired smile. It had been a while since the socially awkward man met the heir to the Raiden Corporation, but it was still a bit challenging to keep up with the boy's cheerful and extroverted attitude. It was amusing, considering that Mei wore feminine gothic-style clothing.
"Don't you think you should cut your hair? It's a little long, don't you think?" John said with a weary smile, trying to calm the boy's energy.
Mei blinked as he let go of his Senpai's arm. The boy then took a lock of Mecha hair with one of his fingers and looked at John with a mischievous grin.
"Do you like girls with short hair, Senpai?" Mei put his hands on her behind his back on her back as he took a step closer to the man, looking into his eyes on her.
That's not what I said...
However, their interaction was interrupted by a male voice.
"No, he won't cut his hair!" The two turned and saw a tall man in a suit with long purple hair in a ponytail.
"D-daddy!" Mei was surprised by her father, he didn't wait for the man in the research laboratory, he always visited that place once a month.
The older raiden approached the two with long strides. The man was tall… very tall, maybe six foot two almost six foot.
"Hair is a trademark of the Raiden family, it is a symbol of our family's pride and power! He will not cut his hair!" Mei flinched at what her father said, it looked like the boy was very embarrassed, "and what I said about wearing those clothes Mei, you have to dress appropriately"
"No!" Mei crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks angrily.
Ryoma looked at his son for a few seconds and sighed at the boy's attitude.
He really is hard headed... just like his mother was...
Ryoma plastered a smile on his face and looked at his son.
"Welcome back, Mei. I missed you" Hearing that, Mei turned her face to her father and saw the smile on the man's face. The Raiden heir ran and jumped into his father's arms which caught him off guard.
"Daddy!" Ryoma grabbed him and spun him around in glee.
"My boy, I missed you so much" Ryoma hugged him tightly.
"Me too, daddy" Mei returned her father's hug.
John just watched the two interact, they really got along. John felt like he wasn't there.
Ryoma opened his eyes and saw John in front of him. The owner of the Raiden Company released his son slowly, straightened his tie and cleared his throat.
"Hello, you must be John, right? Mei has talked a lot about you" Ryoma offered his hand to John, which made him blink.
"Daddy!" Mei felt embarrassed.
John shook Mei's father's hand.
"It's a pleasure, sir. You speak English well; I assume you taught your son?" Ryoma smiled, and for some reason, John didn't like that.
"Well, the Raiden family has high expectations of being proficient in various academic subjects, and yes, I taught my little boy to speak the language," Ryoma said in a snobby manner, and now John understood where Mei inherited that part of his personality her from her.
"Daddy ! I'm not a kid anymore," Mei covered his face in embarrassment, leaving a gap between her fingers to look at John.
"I'm sorry, Senpai. Sometimes my daddy can be difficult to handle ..." Mei sighed, while Ryoma huffed at Mei's words.
"Those were my words, Mei. You were much better behaved when you were younger and easier to handle. I remember when your mother used to dress you in appropriate clothes; you were so adorable. Now you go around wearing these clothes, I don 't know what happened," Ryoma crossed his arms and looked at his son as he sighed.
"Daddy! We've talked about this!" Mei was utterly embarrassed by her father.
"I want to die," Mei practically melted into the ground like a puddle.
"I guess you can't deny who you are... but at least wear a suit when you're in public. You know how people will talk, and being my son and heir will make it even worse, okay?" Ryoma smiled at his son, who blinked at his father's words.
"Okay, Daddy. I'll wear the suit when I'm in public," Mei waved to her father.
Ryoma turned to John with a tired expression.
"I hope my son hasn't been too much trouble; he can be a bit difficult to handle sometimes," Ryoma glanced at Mei from the corner of his right eye.
"Hey!" John smiled at Mei's antics, and Ryoma chuckled at the boy's reaction.
"Mei can be... insistent at times, but he doesn't give me any trouble. I actually enjoy his company," John said, and Mei tried to jump and hug John, but the man placed his hand on Mei's face, preventing him from hugging.
"Senpai, I knew you liked me! Let me hug you!" Mei said cheerfully, trying to embrace John but failing to do so.
"I'm glad to hear that. Before entering college, I remember my boy was always alone," Ryoma showed a melancholic expression, which didn't go unnoticed by John, but it disappeared in an instant.
"I never understood that, considering my little boy was very popular with the girls. I remember when he had girls confessing to him through letters. Ah, he got that from his father. He was a heartbreaker too," Ryoma said, looking upwards , reminiscing about his son's past.
"DADDY!" Mei shouted so loudly that John had to cover his ears not to go deaf.
"Look, I have a photo of how he looked in school," Ryoma reached inside his suit and pulled out a photo to show John.
"Oh... no..." Mei took a few trembling steps to also see the photo.
John held the photo, and his eyes widened at what he saw.
It was a photo of her Mei during her high school days. He must have been around 13 years old. The boy looked completely different from the Mei of now. He appeared to be an ordinary Japanese schoolboy, with his long hair tied in a ponytail and holding a school bag while wearing his school uniform. He made a peace sign with two fingers for the camera. Even though Mei still had a somewhat feminine face, John now understood why girls chased after him. Mei had an androgynous look that made him popular with girls. Japanese women had a different taste in men... while Western women preferred something more rugged and muscular...
John smiled, which didn't go unnoticed by Mei. Mei turned his head to look at the Raiden heir, feeling uncomfortable as he swallowed nervously.
"So... a heartbreaker, huh..." John grinned at the boy, making Mei's face turn red.
"No, my son simply inherited that from his father. But changing the subject, how did you two get here? This area requires authorization," Ryoma said, putting the photo back into his suit.
"Oh, I told them that if they didn't let me in, you'd fire everyone and hire a more competent team," Mei said with a smile.
"Mei!" Ryoma exclaimed in desperation at his son's attitude.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Raiden. I tried to stop him, but he doesn't listen to me," John narrowed his eyes at Mei, who simply looked away.
Ryoma looked at his son for a few seconds and then sighed.
"You never change, huh..." Ryoma ruffled his son's hair with a smile.
"Well, what do you think? It's called Anti-Entropy. We've been working on it for years, and only recently moved from theory to practice. If everything works, they'll be used for security and protection. The only thing missing is a long-lasting power source to sustain it," Ryoma said, looking at the Mecha. John looked at the man and then at the robot in front of him.
"I presume this is just a prototype, right? It looks incomplete," John said, joining the man's side, and Mei followed suit.
Ryoma glanced at John from the corner of his eye and then looked at the Mecha.
"You have a sharp eye, John. And yes, it's incomplete. A few years ago, a strange energy was detected in Antarctica, which caught the world's attention. Private companies and governments from all over the world went to investigate, and well. .. I must say that after the visit to Antarctica, the Anti-Entropy project began immediately," Ryoma narrowed his eyes at the Mecha.
John blinked, and Mei became curious.
"What did they find there, sir? If you don't mind sharing, of course," Ryoma continued, staring at the Mecha as if in a trance.
"A dragon," John blinked and looked at the man in confusion.
"A dragon, did I hear correctly, Mr. Raiden?" For some reason, Mei felt uneasy about the conversation.
"Yes, a frozen dragon. Its skin seems to be made of marble, and it emits a strange energy. We haven't given a name to what we found yet, but one thing is for sure, it scared a lot of people. So the Anti-Entropy will be used for protection... we don't know what else this world has hidden..." Ryoma gazed at the Anti-Entropy.
"Honkai," Mei whispered so softly that neither his father nor John heard him. The Raiden heir had been having dreams about this creature, as if it was calling out his name at night, and he did n't want to be reminded of it again.
The two college students heard two loud claps of the hands, drawing their attention.
"Well, well, it's not something for us to worry about, at least not now. So Mei, tell me, are you enjoying college? I must say you chose a peculiar place for your exchange program, and shouldn't you be at least tanned? After all, you're living in a tropical country," Ryoma looked at his son.
"Daddy, I told you I wanted new experiences, and you should come and visit the country too. The food is phenomenal, and the people are so friendly; they treat you like you're part of their family," Mei said with a bright smile.
"Like I've known them for years and they're my best friends, even though it's the first time I meet them. It's incredible!" Mei described his experience with her with a smile and enthusiasm.
Ryoma blinked in surprise.
"Well, if my dear son is asking, then I can't refuse, but I don't do well in heat, especially in tropical countries," Ryoma rubbed the back of his head while thinking about the heat.
"Oh, no. It's very cold there, Dad. You'll have to bring a coat and warm clothes. It's probably snowing this time of year," Mei corrected her father.
"Eh?!" Ryoma became very confused with what Mei said.
"Well, you see, we are in the southern part of the country, which is very cold. If you believe all the ads that I imagine must be airing about my country, you would think it's hell on earth in terms of heat, but don't believe that. At least not in the place where we are now. However, if you were to go to the northern part of the country, I think you'd be burned alive," John clarified what Mei said.
"Oh, that makes more sense now. I only visited one city once, so I thought the whole country was hot," Ryoma said, scratching his chin.
"I can probably guess which city that was..." John said, which made Ryoma and Mei look at him confused.
"Senpai?" Mei looked at him.
"It's nothing, Mei," John just smiled at him.
"Well, you're on vacation, right? Why don't you come have lunch with me? I have some time before the meeting with the researchers," Ryoma put his hand on their backs and started leading them.
"Wait, what did you say, Mr. Raiden? Shouldn't we have heard that? Isn't it confidential?" John asked in confusion, but Ryoma just looked at him and smiled.
"It's okay, it's not like people would believe you if you said anything, right, John-san?" Ryoma said with a smile and then looked ahead.
"What are we going to eat, Dad?" Mei asked her father, who just put his finger in front of his mouth, signaling for silence.
"It's a surprise," Ryoma smiled at his son, and although Mei was huffing in frustration, he continued to follow his father.
John blinked and blinked...
What?!
...
John snapped out of his trance or memory and saw Fu Hua observing the crowd.
"Are these Anti-Entropy things a type of protection product?" John asked Fu Hua, who turned her head to look at him.
"Correct, it's a security and protection system, Anti-Honkai. They use Honkai energies to power themselves... oh, sorry, you might not be familiar with Honkai since it was only recently disclosed to the public," Fu Hua apologized to John, who simply dismissed her apology.
"It's alright, you answered my question, thank you," John said with a smile, which made Fu Hua's cheeks turn red.
"I-it's alright," Fu Hua looked away.
Kiana's voice caught everyone's attention.
"Hey! The light is green, if we don't go now, we'll have to wait another hour in this sardine can!" Kiana waved both arms, attracting everyone's attention.
"...what did she say?" John looked at the girl in confusion.
"Ela She's saying we should hurry," Himeko held John's hand and pulled him with her, catching him off guard.
"Professor Himeko, don't pull Mr. John like that?!" Mei shouted in Japanese as she ran after them. Fu Hua looked at Bronya, who looked back at her.
"How do you manage to live under the same roof as them?" Fu Hua asked Bronya, who just gave her a blank stare.
"A lot of video games..." Bronya walked slowly, following the group.
Fu Hua blinked at the girl's response and started to follow the group.
"Is this city really safe? I speak from experience when someone talks about something. It often shows hypocrisy in their words," John said, remembering something from the past.
"Relax, this is the safest place in the world against Honkai. I know that Honkai energy affects men more, but we have measures against it, and even so, I have this," Himeko showed the clock to John, who was showing zero percent on it.
"If any Honkai energy appears, I'm notified instantly," Himeko said, pulling him along with a smile.
"Let's have some fun, sweetheart!" Himeko said happily.
"If you say so..." John decided to trust the woman.
Due to the crowd, the noise was too loud to hear Himeko's watch her saying ...
Alert! Honkai energy signals rising... 2.3%
