People in Izumo, make Honkai great again

To be by my side...

That's great.

"This is what I should do." Kiana said a little embarrassedly when her hands were held and she was thanked.

Mei shook her head: "Kiana, no matter what the future holds, I will always stay by your side."

The words she said came back to her from others, and Kiana felt how destructive the words she had just said subconsciously were.

No wonder Mei fell silent after hearing this.

"…Yeah! We'll always be together."

If we want to leave, we leave together. If we want to stay, we stay together. Kiana couldn’t help but think in her heart.

The negative emotions in her heart had disappeared. Mei smiled and relaxed. Looking at Kiana who was blushing, she noticed after a while that her intimacy with Kiana seemed to have exceeded the boundaries of friendship.

How can friends hold hands while talking, look at each other and say they will always be together?

What's the difference between this and confession?

Mei's face turned red after realizing it later, but her tolerance was finally trained. She did not let go of Kiana, but kept her distance as if she was frightened.

Instead, he pretended to be indifferent and said, "I hope Miss Yae knows Miss Xilin. I know you are eager to know her news."

“…No, that’s not the case.”

Kiana's face turned even redder. Was she really that obvious? She wasn't... well, a little. The more she thought about her dream of becoming One Punch Man, the more excited she became, and the more anxious she became.

"Xilin, Xilin should be making some moves in the next few days. I believe she will be preparing the compensation for the treatment when she returns."

It just takes a little time.

After all, other people who kill ghosts and gods cannot resist the invasion of curses and turn their power into a crystal that is easy to carry.

She understood the truth, but it was inevitable to feel anxious and miss him. She was not anxious, but looking forward to it!

Seeing Kiana's expression of "I believe in Sirin", Mei couldn't help but ask, "Are you preparing right after returning? That shouldn't be the case. The news of Honkai's appearance is more important, and haven't you and Sirin just met twice?"

"Yes, we've only met twice, but we get along well. And Honkai, Honkai is important, but I also believe she won't go back on her word and will pay close attention to my affairs. That's my intuition."

"Intuition..."

It's really a universal explanation.

But is Kiana a little too trusting?

Chapter 61 You shouldn't have attacked Kiana

It's not that she has any problem with Xilin.

But the priority of debt is obviously not as high as the collapse disaster.

If she had to guess, she thought Xilin should still be tracking the traces of the collapse and the impact it brought.

After everything is clarified, I will come back to Kiana with the debt and ask for more information about Honkai.

A normal person would choose this.

But Xilin is obviously not a normal person.

So half an hour later, she saw the uninvited purple-haired girl at the shrine, and a girl with cherry-pink hair who came with her. She was wearing a black robe that was very similar in style to the one Tanaka Nao was wearing.

"Kiana, I'm here to see you."

When Sirin walked into the shrine, she saw the two of them and greeted Kiana directly.

"And Raiden Mei, I haven't seen you for a few days. What's the urgent matter you need from me?"

"Xilin, Yaezakura? Why are you here? Could it be..."

Kiana wiped her eyes in shock when she saw them. She had previously thought that Xilin would not come to see her for a few days.

I didn't expect her to come today.

And it was with Yaezakura.

Together with Yaezakura...

By the way, Xilin had mentioned Yaezakura before, and they knew each other before.

So when Yaesakura told Mei to wait a moment just now, she didn't mean that she was busy, but that they were on their way and could meet and talk in person later?

"Of course I'm here to fulfill my promise." Xilin turned to look at Yaezakura and said, "This girl said that she had an appointment with you to meet again, so she came along too."

"Kiana, long time no see." After entering the shrine, Yae Sakura no longer avoided being shy. She took off the brim of her hat and looked at her and said, "I'm back alive."

Mei: “???”

The ignored Mei looked at Kiana who instantly became the center of attention, and a question mark almost popped up in her head. This person was Yae Sakura, who came here with Sirin.

This was enough to surprise Mei.

Unexpectedly, there was something even more surprising to her.

What does 'I came back alive' mean?

Was there something else going on between her and Kiana that she didn't know about?

"Welcome back." Kiana stretched out a hand in her direction and smiled kindly: "Then we will be friends from now on."

Xilin made a sound of clicking her tongue, and before Yae Sakura could get close, she grabbed Kiana's hand and pulled her hand over.

"I'm your friend too, why don't you reach out to me?"

Kiana looked confused: "But weren't we friends before?"

"Then why didn't you reach out before?"

Of course the atmosphere is right.

Yaezakura said this, so she couldn't just smile and nod, right? That would be so cold.

It's obvious that the fox cares a lot.

"We met one of your people yesterday. She told me that you told the headquarters about my decision." Mei walked over to Kiana and stared at Xilin. "What was the decision?"

"Of course it's a decision that's in your favor."

Seeing her expression, Xilin didn't tolerate her. She let go of Kiana and put her hands on her hips, saying sarcastically, "Young people nowadays just don't know how to appreciate the blessings they have. If I had a senior like this to help me back then, I wouldn't be in this mess now."

Mei didn't care about her sarcasm, but just turned her head to look at Kiana.

Kiana thought Mei wanted her to ask, so she pulled Silin and asked, "So what's the favor? Give your confession."

"It's indeed a good thing for Xilin." Yaezakura suddenly joined in the conversation. She looked at Mei with a guilty look in her eyes: "I'm sorry, Miss Raiden, I took Ming Shen away without your consent."

"You don't need to apologize to me. This is what my father asked you to do." Mei responded to Yae Sakura's apology with the first sentence, but the tone of the next sentence suddenly changed: "But why did you hurt Kiana? And in such a cruel way?"

Kiana, who was watching from the side, was startled. She didn't expect that she would be there. She stared at Mei slightly, then looked at Yae Sakura.

"Meiyi, don't do it. This isn't her fault. She tried to persuade me to give up for a long time, but I didn't want to give up, so I kept pestering her and even attacked her, which forced her to take action."

The fox was quite cruel and hurt her for a long time, but it was definitely not all Yaesakura's fault.

Yaezakura didn't want to do it at first.

Mei reached out to stop her, suppressing the coldness in her voice and said, "I know. So what I'm asking is, why did you use such a cruel method?"

"Don't take her side." Xilin didn't mind the trouble. She put her hand on her shoulder and pulled her over, saying gloatingly, "Who wants to make friends by beating someone up first? Then I say I want to be friends with you. Do you agree?"

Kiana slapped Xilin's hand away: "Don't make trouble, this matter is not what you said."

However, Yaezakura nodded very seriously and looked at Kiana with an apologetic look: "It is indeed my fault."

"Why are you like this?" Kiana held her forehead. "You apologized at the time, and it was me who took advantage of the situation and attacked you. I almost got Naruto back, so you had no choice but to slap me."

Just for a moment.

Yaezakura moved just a little bit, and it hurt so much that she hated to give up that hand. Fortunately, the severe pain did not last too long, otherwise she would really curse Yaezakura eight hundred times.

"My apology back then wasn't very sincere, and I also said at the time that if I could come back alive, I would formally apologize to you and Miss Lei Dian."

In addition to the agreement with that friend, she came more to apologize.

"And... I betrayed your trust." Yaezakura bowed to her and said, "I didn't succeed in persuading you to do what I promised you."

"this…"

Kiana looked at Mei carefully. She knew that Yae Sakura was talking about asking Raiden Ryoma to contact Mei.

"Are you referring to my father's reply to my letter? You don't need to apologize to me or Kiana for this. The day after Naruto was stolen, a lightning disaster broke out."

Mei also knew about this.

Kiana told her that day that she even wondered if her father would come back and contact her after she knew about it.

"He's very stubborn. You can't persuade him. That's normal. I don't care that Narukami was taken away, nor do I care that he didn't contact me."

Knowing her father's whereabouts and that he was alive, Mei no longer cared about it.

"You shouldn't have been so cruel to Kiana."

"...I understand, and I've always felt guilty about this. I'm sorry, Kiana. I wasn't thoughtful enough back then, and I must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

Is this matter too big?

Kiana quickly waved her hands: "Then I'll say it again, I have already forgiven you, so don't worry about this matter anymore."

"You've forgiven me, but I haven't forgiven myself. The damage has already been done. I was in a hurry to leave, so I was too ruthless..." Yae Sakura paused and continued, "Xilin said you wanted to collect the demon sword, so I took advantage of the past two days to use other swords to hunt down a group of demons and forge this demon sword. I hope you can accept my gift of apology."

Chapter 62: The Art of Sword-Forging

“…Isn’t that necessary?”

She had never thought that Yaezakura would come with Xilin. Except for the day they met, when she had muttered a few times about how cruel Yaezakura was, she had never thought about this person again.

Judging from the knife on her body, Yaezakura would definitely not send it, at least before Tian No Dong Yi.

"I hope you can accept it."

Yae Sakura took off the extra knife and handed it to Kiana.

Kiana originally thought that she was carrying two swords, and the other one would be Narukami, who came back to return the sword.

I didn't expect it was a gift for her.

"I accept, but don't mention this matter again. If you promise, I will accept it."

How should I put it? Because of the endless entanglement, he was pushed to the ground by someone, which is somewhat of a black history.

Whenever someone mentioned it, she would be embarrassed to recall what happened that day and her own powerlessness.

From her perspective, Yae Sakura was so annoyed by her that she had no choice but to subdue her.

"no problem."

Kiana finally breathed a sigh of relief, took the gift that Yae Sakura used to apologize, and took the opportunity to look at Mei's reaction.

Mei nodded at her.

Even if the apology was sincere, she would not hold on to it. She was too aggressive because she wanted to see Yaesakura's reaction and find out if she did it on purpose.

Kiana is so easily fooled.

She didn't want Kiana to trust someone she shouldn't trust and get hurt.

"Then let's continue talking about that 'decision,'" she said.

It can be regarded as a way to put aside all the previous unpleasantness and not care about the stolen knife and the series of events that followed.

[Demon Sword (A+): This sword was forged at the cost of the lives of fifty-six demons and gods. The power within the sword is conflicting and mixed, causing a 10-fold erosion effect on the holder when used.

Special Effects: Hundred Ghosts (This sword can contain the power of one hundred ghosts and gods, each ghost and god provides a 5% damage bonus), Haunted (Releases the curse in the sword, temporarily increasing all attribute bonuses by 300%. During the effect bonus, the erosion effect is doubled and the curse erosion continues)

[Recycling: The fusion process of multiple powers causes loss. This equipment can only be recycled to obtain 3.8 Honkai Energy Crystals.]

Just looking at the attributes, this weapon is pretty good. The full effect can be 500%, and there is a 300% bonus to all attributes.

But take a closer look.

Wow, it has a 10x erosion effect, which will be doubled after the active skill is activated, which means it has a 20x erosion effect.

How many people can withstand this outrageous negative effect?
