People in Izumo, make Honkai great again

Before entering the imaginary space, when I was muttering about Yae Sakura's bad mouth, I also thought of Kiana she mentioned.

I wondered what kind of person was worthy of Yaesakura's attitude, trusting her as if she had been brainwashed after just one meeting?

Xilin is very curious about Kiana.

But she didn't expect that she would meet the Kiana that Yaezakura mentioned so soon.

Although Xilin didn't answer, the expression on her face made the answer clear.

Kiana was curious: "Are you friends?"

It’s not appropriate to ask about Jianyu Lei Shen right away. You have to say something else to get closer to him.

"no!"

Xilin retorted subconsciously.

Who is friends with that crow-mouth?

If that crow's mouth hadn't said anything about sacrifice and that anyone could die, she wouldn't be so unlucky!

“…Just an acquaintance.”

After denying it, she felt something was wrong and Xilin quickly added that her thoughts were similar to Kiana's.

We can get closer through Yaesu, who we all know, to build a bridge for subsequent communication.

"I heard her mention you." Xilin said with a stern face, looking at Qiana's face: "She likes you very much."

Yaesakura, ah Yaesakura, I didn't expect you could be of any use.

Good luck to you.

"Kiana...what happened?"

There was a knock on the door, and along with it came Mei Raiden's confusion.

After finding out that Kiana had not come out, Mei Raiden waited outside for a long time. She wanted to have a good chat with Kiana about the situation in Changkong City, but she became a little impatient.

Because logically, there was no reason for Kiana to stay in the room all the time. Although she didn't say it explicitly, Kiana must have known that she was waiting for her outside.

Suspecting that something might have happened, Mei Raiden went straight to the door of the guest room.

Unexpectedly, a strange voice was heard from Kiana's room, which made Raiden Mei alert.

She remembered it clearly.

Kiana doesn't have a cell phone!

After all, she had wanted to add Kiana's contact information before, but failed to do so, and she was afraid that Kiana would refuse, so she didn't want to give Kiana a phone.

So who?

Who sneaked into Kiana's room?

The name Yae Sakura flashed through her mind. This was the name she heard from Kiana yesterday, and Kiana also praised her as a good person.

"Mei is here."

Kiana stood up subconsciously, and her joy lasted less than a second before she looked at Xilin lying on the bed with a look of horror.

…How do you explain this?

Mei Raiden? Ryoma Raiden's daughter?

Xilin knew the other party.

She wasn't familiar with Raiden Ryoma, but she knew him.

Noticing that Kiana's eyes looked a little strange, Xilin responded strangely: "Don't invite her in?"

"Well, please."

Forget it, just tell the truth.

Kiana, who had transformed into a living person, ran to the door and opened it. Seeing Raiden Mei outside, she smiled embarrassedly.

"Nothing happened. No, something happened, but it's not what you think, Mei."

Kiana reached out and grabbed Raiden Mei, pulling Mei, who was standing at the door, into the room.

Then he looked at Xilin on the bed.

"who is she?"

Sure enough, there was someone in Kiana's room.

And... lying on the bed in the guest room?

Mei Raiden looked silently at the strange purple-haired girl who was half-sitting, with confusion and vigilance in her eyes.

"She is……"

Without waiting for the unfamiliar Kiana to introduce herself, Xilin looked at the newcomer thoughtfully and said, "I am a comrade-in-arms of your father, Raiden Ryoma."

"Father's comrade?"

Mei Raiden thought the other person was Kiana's friend, but she didn't expect that he would be her father's comrade-in-arms.

This is an advancement from peers to elders.

Looking at the girl who seemed to be about the same age as herself, Mei Raiden narrowed her eyes and spoke unfriendly words.

"Demon Slayer's comrade? If you're my father's comrade, why are you in Kiana's room?"

Still lying on Kiana's bed?

Moreover, Jianyu Raijin was causing chaos, but she didn't fight against him. Why did she appear here?

Xilin looked at Qiana: "That's a good question. I also want to know this question."

What do you mean?

Mei followed her gaze and looked at Kiana. Looking at Kiana, was she saying that this matter was related to Kiana?

"Mei, please sit down first and listen to me."

"It's like this. When I used the ability 'Phase Shift' earlier, I discovered a discord in the subspace, so I went to investigate a bit after returning."

"As a result, we discovered Miss Silin, who had a faint resonance with the subspace. She was lying in the collapsing imaginary space, seriously injured and near death. I saw that she was still breathing, so I brought her back."

Subspace?

Saved yourself from the collapsing imaginary space?

When Xilin heard Kiana's explanation, her face was expressionless because she didn't completely trust them yet, but a huge wave was rising in her heart, and she looked at the room again.

Did she pick up the 'sky'?

No, she threw the Heavenly Sword onto the battlefield, and this place is obviously not near the battlefield.

However, the sound of thunder can be heard, so this place should not be particularly far away from the real battlefield.

These are areas that may be affected.

Without the Heavenly Sword, how did this girl named Kiana travel through other dimensions?

"I thought she had just fought with Takemiya Raijin, so I treated her."

Subspace…What is imaginary space?

Mei Raiden frowned. The words were unfamiliar, but she could roughly understand them by considering the context.

The purple-haired girl was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but luckily, she was rescued from the battlefield by Kiana.

“…What’s the date now?”

Xilin, who was lying on the bed, heard the treatment and finally reacted and asked about the time.

Chapter 37 The Butterfly Effect of Collapse

"Don't worry, it didn't take long."

Kiana turned around and comforted him, "Takemiya Thunder God just appeared today, and the sky just darkened today."

"…today?"

Xilin clearly remembered her situation at that time. To be honest, she didn't think she could survive. In order to protect the Sword of Heaven from being left in the imaginary space, she chose to use her last bit of strength to protect the sword.

Such a serious injury, today?

A look of shock flashed across her face, but she quickly suppressed her emotions because there was no reason for this girl to lie to her.

"So, what's the situation with Takemikazuchi?" Kiana asked. "Yae Sakura didn't tell me much yesterday. She just said that she took away Narukami in order to kill Takemikazuchi."

They just picked up the sword yesterday, and the battle started today. Even Kiana felt it was too hasty.

"…Takemikaze Raijin is even more powerful than we anticipated, so he arrived early."

Xilin closed her eyes in pain. As the Lord of Heaven's Sword, she was responsible for observing the state of the nearby space. She did not discover the abnormality of Jianyu Lei Shen in the first place, which led to Jianyu Lei Shen catching everyone off guard.

This is also one of the reasons why she desperately wants to buy some time to test the limits of Jian Yu Lei Shen.

But Takemiya Raijin was stronger than she thought.

How did those people succeed in defeating Tian Changlizun and forging it into the Sword of Heaven more than ten years ago?

"...Ahead of schedule? Then when was Takemikazuchika supposed to descend?"

Kiana suddenly thought of the spider demon that she and Mei had just killed, and the lines on the demon's body that were corroded by Honkai energy.

Xilin wanted to say that it was meaningless.

But when she opened her eyes and saw Kiana's solemn expression, and remembered that this girl was her savior, she swallowed the words back.

"...half a month later."

"So that side is at a disadvantage, right?"

Xilin was silent.

Jianyu Thunder God caught everyone off guard. In order to avoid heavy casualties, she chose to delay her weapon in the imaginary space before it was destroyed by Jianyu Thunder God before it was activated.

She did delay the progress of Jian Yu Lei Shen, but she also...

She wanted to clench her hands, but she had no strength and could only clench her fists.

"very bad."

"We understand." Kiana saw something and didn't ask any more questions. She stood up and said, "I just pulled you back from the brink of death. Your body is not well yet."

"Rest for a while now. Only with a good rest can your body recover faster."

After saying that, Kiana pulled Meiyi, who was lost in thought, and urged her softly, "Let's go out and let Xilin have a good rest."

"...Yeah." Raiden Mei stood up and took one last look at the purple-haired girl: "You can always come to me if you need anything."

"Thank you."

Xilin listened to the thunder outside, her mind was no longer here, but she ran back to the battlefield.

Jianyu Leishen was already strong, and the attacking team lost him, the warrior who wielded the Heavenly Sword, at the very beginning.

The situation is terrible.

Xilin even wondered if her own mistakes would lead to...

Kiana closed the door, a look of worry on her face, and didn't let go of Mei's hand until she returned to the living room. "Mei, do you think that Takemiya Thunder God's sudden appearance has anything to do with the Houkai?"

A full half month in advance.

Kiana didn't believe that this was due to mistakes made by the observation and calculation departments.

A deviation of one or two days is normal.

But it was totally unacceptable that it lasted for a whole half month. Under normal circumstances, such a major change would not have happened.

Unless there is a third party...

The destruction that befell this world perfectly met the criteria of a third-party force.

And she also saw that the spider ghost could be eroded by the Honkai without dying, and might even become stronger because of the Honkai.

This is less than 10%!
