People in Izumo, make Honkai great again

“It’s beautiful this way, too.”

"You'd better change into something appropriate when going out to play."

"Well, of course, Mei looks beautiful in anything she wears," Kiana praised.

"Kiana is beautiful too."

Kiana put all the knives back, wiped her sweat with a towel, and waited for Mei at the door.

After a while, Mei, who had changed into daily clothes, came to the door and greeted her.

"let's go."

Kiana skillfully went up to hold Meiyi and said, "Let's go, let's go. I feel like I have a really good appetite now. I can even eat a whole cow!"

Hearing this exaggerated metaphor, Mei couldn't help but smile.

When I am with Kiana, I am always happy and never think about annoying things.

“No matter how many times I look up, it still feels strange.”

Everything in this world is good, except that the starry sky is a little abnormal. There is a black sun there, and it is not bright at all. Although there is light in this world, this light is not that bright.

The color tone is a bit depressing.

"Izumo has always been like this." Mei didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, Izumo had been like this for thousands of years. However, hearing her sigh, she patiently comforted her, "You come from another world, so it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable."

Kiana had told Mei a long time ago that she was from another world, but this was the first time she heard the name of this planet.

"Izumo... Is that what you call this planet?"

This name is somewhat familiar.

She was obviously an illegal immigrant. After traveling to this world, she had to work hard to earn money to obtain a legal identity for herself because she really didn't dare to activate her system.

In the past few months, she has been working everywhere to earn money, either part-time at a convenience store, or relying on her extraordinary physical fitness to deliver takeout, take on commissions, etc.

This kind of life is busy, but interesting.

The technology here is somewhat similar to that on Earth. After she discovered Raiden Mei, she determined that this was a parallel world of Honkai, and she would come to conquer Raiden Mei in her spare time.

reason……

Love at first sight is only one aspect.

On the other hand, she really didn't know what to do, and she really didn't dare to use the system that brought her here.

Because she was busy working to get an identity for herself and didn't have enough money to buy herself a mobile phone, she didn't actually know much about the world.

There is also Mei Raiden in the modern city. She has a preconceived notion that there is nothing to know about it and that this must be a parallel world.

As for the question of the starry sky.

It is normal for parallel worlds to unfold differently. How many worlds have been ruined by the storyline of Honkai Impact 3rd's activities?

"do not you know?"

“I haven’t paid much attention to that.”

Kiana scratched her head embarrassedly. She really didn't care about this. Compared to the news that she would know sooner or later, she cared more about Mei Raiden who inherited the shrine and became a shrine maiden.

"Where we are is Izumo."

"Izumo..."

So familiar.

I've definitely heard this name somewhere before. Is it an event? No...

"If you're curious, we can sit down somewhere for a while and tell each other stories about Izumo."

"Let's talk about this later." Kiana shook her head. She wanted to enjoy her date with Mei more. She pointed across the street and said, "We're almost at the food court. Let's not talk about this in front of the food, okay?"

"Is that so...Alright."

Mei Raiden plans to go back to the shrine and then look up some historical materials about Izumo. She will then give the information to Kiana to help her learn more about Izumo.

However, with what Kiana just mentioned, and looking at the prosperous, peaceful and lively streets, Mei's heart once again had lingering questions.

Is the world they live in, Izumo Country, really as simple as it seems?

Father... and ghosts...

After her father disappeared and Mei Raiden inherited the shrine, she has been secretly searching for the reason and truth behind her father's disappearance.

But she had few clues.

Ghosts and spirits.

She finally investigated the legend and found out from the clues that Izumo Kingdom was not as peaceful as it seemed.

But she didn't know more information.

"Mei Mei, try this!"

Kiana's voice woke her up from her memories. She smiled and took the oden Kiana gave her: "Thank you."

"And over there, it's so lively, it looks like there's a performance, shall we go check it out?"

"it is good."

No matter what Kiana said, Mei responded, just as she had thought before.

When she is with Kiana, her mood becomes relaxed and she feels very happy to be with Kiana.

Chapter 3: The Stolen Narukami

Shopping, that’s all.

Walk and stop, eat and drink.

But when you go shopping and date with someone you like, you won’t feel bored no matter how long you walk, and you can have enough fun and happiness.

Kiana held the newly developed group photo in her hand, unable to suppress the smile on her face. She held the photo high and said, "I'll find a frame to put it in when I get home, and then put it next to my bed, where I can see it the first thing when I wake up every day!"

"what?"

Mei also had the same copy in her hand. She was also very satisfied with the photo she had just taken with Kiana and planned to take it back to collect it.

But what Kiana said...

Put the photo next to your bed, where you can see it first when you wake up every day?

"Will this..."

She felt her face getting hot, and she wanted to confirm it with Kiana. Kiana was always like that, saying things that would make people think too much and misunderstand.

"Mei will be like this too, right?"

Are you kidding?

Mei felt her face getting even hotter. Isn't this something only couples and families do?

Every day when she woke up, she saw pictures of herself and Kiana. If she thought about it carefully, it was not impossible. Even if it was just a picture, she would feel relaxed when she saw Kiana's smile.

"I'll put it away."

I made progress again today!

Kiana smiled widely and put the photo away carefully. Just as she was about to say something else to Mei, bursts of thunder were heard from the gray sky.

The thunder was so loud that it covered all other sounds. At the horizon, one could see bursts of blue and purple lightning from the clouds.

The thunder did not end with a single sound, but continued to explode, as if the god who controlled thunder was angry.

"Mei?!"

The thunder was incredibly loud, not at all like a normal thunderstorm. Kiana's ears ached from the noise, and everyone else on the street covered their ears in agony. Only Mei stared blankly at the lightning flashing in the sky.

Kiana's voice was drowned out by the thunder. She anxiously shook Mei's body and finally pulled her back from her trance.

She looked at Mei Raiden with a worried look on her face, her eyes constantly glancing towards the sky. Could it be that this was not a normal thunderstorm, but an unnatural phenomenon?

Mei seemed to be saying something, but Kiana couldn't hear her. She frowned, shook her head, and pointed at the people nearby who were covering their ears.

I can't hear any sound.

Seeing this, Mei pursed her lips, then looked up and stared at the lightning in the sky for a while.

She seemed to be thinking, but Kiana didn't know what she was thinking. She just looked at her for a few seconds, then suddenly grabbed Kiana and ran towards the shrine without paying attention to her puzzled look.

problem occurs?

Mei didn't look like anything good was going to happen, so Kiana followed her pace without lagging behind.

She could feel Mei holding her hand very tightly, and she was feeling very uneasy.

Because of the thunder in the sky?

Why?

Kiana felt a little regretful that she had not gotten to know this world well in the past few months, otherwise she would not be here making random guesses in confusion.

That feeling...

Can't go wrong.

Mei felt something was wrong when she heard and saw the lightning in the sky. It didn't seem like a naturally formed thunderstorm, and she also keenly felt that the lightning was somewhat familiar.

Why familiar?

Mei gritted her teeth and ran towards the shrine as fast as she could. She wanted to verify her guess.

The thunder lasted for a long time, but gradually subsided. No, it didn't subside, it moved to other areas.

Rubbing her ears, Kiana asked worriedly, "Mei, did something happen?"

"Sorry, Kiana, I have to go back to the shrine now." Mei then let go of Kiana.

"I'll go with you!"

"…Um."

Mei wanted her to stay with her, so she subconsciously grabbed Kiana when she left just now.

After crossing several streets, they finally ran back to the shrine area. Mei entered the shrine without saying a word and went straight to the main hall where the "Murakami" was enshrined.

However, Mei, who ran back desperately to confirm something, stepped into the main hall and saw the empty shrine, her pupils shrank.

'Narukami'... is gone.

"This is... Narukami is missing?!"

Kiana, who had been running for a while with Mei, couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the empty shrine. She had been pestering Mei for so long, and she had seen the 'Murakami' enshrined in the shrine.

This 'Nari God' has been worshipped by Mei's family for generations and has a history of at least several hundred years. How could it be missing?

Stolen?!

Looking at the empty shrine, Mei calmed down at this moment. She stared at the knife rack on the shrine that was originally used to place "Murakami" and walked towards the shrine step by step.

Kiana was anxious on the side.

Is it because I asked Mei to go out and play today that I gave the people who coveted 'Murakami' an opportunity to take advantage of me?

She gritted her teeth angrily, her mood plummeting.

There is anger towards the knife thief, blame towards himself, guilt and worry towards Mei.

"I'll go look around. Maybe the knife thief hasn't gone far yet!"

Thinking that the thief might not have gone far, Kiana chased after him angrily. Without waiting for Mei to say anything, she turned and ran out of the shrine.

Knife thief...

Mei's thoughts were now in a mess, and she didn't call out to Kiana because the person who took the knife would never stay here, and with Kiana's skills, she wouldn't be afraid of ordinary people.

Walking to the front of the shrine, she looked for possible clues and saw an inconspicuous letter at the base of the shrine.

Reaching out to take it out, looking at the familiar handwriting on it, Mei Raiden's breathing became a little heavier: "As expected, you are back...Father..."

She couldn't help but clench her hand holding the envelope. She didn't expect that her father was always near the shrine.

'Narukami' might not have just been stolen.

The shrine was closed today and was not receiving worshippers. She had only been to the main hall once in the morning. 'Miracle God' was probably taken away by her father as soon as she turned around.
