I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

“Perfect timing, I’d like to conduct a small experiment here.” Gu Ye didn’t hide his intentions. “My Stand’s name is ‘Weather Forecast,’ and my ability is just like the name: I can control the weather.”

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

"So, here's the question." His gaze swept over everyone present, "Do you think 'Honkai' can be considered a kind of 'climate'?"

“You mean—” Bronya almost immediately understood the unbelievable meaning behind Gu Ye’s words.

"The definition I understand is: Collapse is a periodic natural disaster that inevitably occurs with the development of civilization." Gu Ye's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears. "Since it is a natural disaster, it should be classified as a 'weather' event. And my 'weather forecast' can control all of this."

Before he finished speaking, he and his white stand-in "Weather Forecast" behind him moved simultaneously.

The two struck a pose that was both incredibly synchronized and strangely coordinated, a pose that was difficult for ordinary people to imitate, full of power and beauty.

Their bodies were twisted in an exaggerated way, yet strangely achieved a perfect balance, like an ancient Greek sculpture that had come to life.

"Wow, what a cool pose!" Kitagawa Haimu's eyes instantly lit up with stars. She completely forgot her fear and instinctively reached for her phone to take a picture. "Is this pose from which anime? I want to copy it too!"

Gu Ye ignored Hai Meng's astonishment. He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on connecting with his substitute.

His will extended infinitely through the "weather forecast," instantly covering the entire Changkong City.

Those invisible Honkai energy particles that had escaped from the ruins of ME Corporation and were drifting around like ownerless ghosts became as clearly discernible to him as water molecules in the air.

They are no longer chaotic and disorderly.

They have "wind direction", "air pressure", and "temperature".

"rise."

Gu Ye uttered a single word softly.

The night wind outside the villa stopped without warning.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible force began to stir up the atmosphere of the entire city.

The Honkai energy that was spreading towards the residential area seemed to be choked by an invisible giant hand, abruptly halting its spread.

Then, they started to flow backwards.

Strands and wisps of pale purple light began to appear in every corner of the city. At first, they were very faint, but they quickly gathered into streams, then into rivers, and finally formed a huge and terrifying purple energy vortex above the ME Corporation building.

The vortex spun wildly, greedily sucking in all the Honkai energy within a radius of several kilometers. It was powerful yet eerily silent.

In Raiden's living room, everyone was speechless, stunned by the miraculous scene outside the window.

"This...this is..." Raiden Mei covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock. She could clearly feel that the energy that had made her feel palpitations and unease was being forcibly drawn away and gathered by a more powerful and domineering force.

Bronya remained silent, staring intently at the purple vortex outside the window.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! It's the aurora! The aurora has appeared in Changkong City!" Only Kitagawa Haimeng's focus was completely different from everyone else's. She had already raised her phone and was frantically taking pictures of the magnificent and eerie scene outside the window. "If I post this on WeChat Moments, it will definitely go viral!"

Gu Ye slowly opened his eyes. He disengaged from that strange posture, and the stand-in behind him disappeared as well.

He looked at the Honkai energy vortex compressed to its limit, preparing to completely guide it to a deserted place.

But at that moment, the expression on his face changed slightly.

The purple vortex in the sky suddenly stopped rising.

It seemed to be "anchored" to something, hovering thousands of meters in the air, and began to flash violently, like a beacon sending a signal to some unknown entity.

"Tsk, things have gone too far." Gu Ye frowned.

"What's wrong?" Rin Tohsaka keenly noticed the change in Gu Ye's expression.

"But it's not a big problem." Gu Ye looked at the dissipating energy ripples in the sky and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was unexpectedly drawn to the Herrscher core within Mei after gathering the Honkai energy, and briefly lost control, he ultimately used a more direct and brutal method to completely disperse this troublesome energy throughout the world, like sprinkling a spoonful of salt into the ocean.

“Perfect solution.”

He had barely finished speaking when footsteps echoed down the stairs.

Kiana, wearing a loose-fitting pajama set with a Houmu pattern, came downstairs sleepily. She rubbed her eyes and yawned widely, "Ugh... what was that sound just now? It was so noisy, the house was shaking."

"It's nothing, just a small matter." Gu Ye waved his hand casually. "Did the noise wake you up? Then go back to sleep."

"Hey, you bastard, I'm just concerned about you guys!" Kiana immediately protested, putting her hands on her hips and puffing out her cheeks.

Gu Ye ignored her protest and turned to the others in the living room, who had various expressions, and said, "Get ready, we have guests coming. Rita, Himeko, and Walter."

"The Valkyrie of Destiny?" Rin Tohsaka's eyes immediately sharpened.

Because of the tight schedule and heavy workload, she only learned a little about the background of this world from Gu Ye.

She was well aware of the weight behind the word "destiny".

"Hmm." Gu Ye nodded, his gaze turning to Kiana, who was still oblivious to the situation. "Moreover, it's very likely that a battle between us is inevitable because of you."

"Huh? How did this get back to me?" Kiana looked completely bewildered. "I didn't do anything!"

"Who told you to be a member of the Kaslana family?" Gu Ye shrugged.

Kiana's eyebrows furrowed instantly, her lips pursed, and she ground her teeth: "Is it... because of that stinky old man again?"

"More or less," Gu Ye said. "Anyway, find a place to hide first. If possible, I hope no fight will break out. After all, it's not good to destroy a guest's house."

"Tch, fine, fine." Kiana pouted and glanced at the wall clock; it was just past one in the morning.

She muttered, "I haven't even had enough beauty sleep yet," then turned and slowly walked upstairs, her figure quickly disappearing around the corner of the stairs.

After Kiana disappeared, the atmosphere in the living room became somewhat awkward.

I'm so into playing Roguelike in Arknights, it's so hard!

Chapter 19 Rita's Big Check

"So, the next step is a direct confrontation with the world's strongest armed force?" W licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with undisguised excitement. "That sounds really interesting. How many people are on the other side? What's their weaponry like? Are any of them coming in mechs?"

"Wow, are they really going to fight?" Kitagawa Haimu's focus was completely different. She leaned close to Gu Ye and asked in a low but excited voice, "Are the Valkyries that came pretty? Are they the mature type or the loli type? Aren't their uniforms cool?"

"Hai Meng!" Rin Tohsaka rubbed her temples, looking a bit of a headache. "Is this the time to worry about that? We know nothing about the enemy; we should be thinking about countermeasures first!"

"The solution is simple." Gu Ye walked to the sofa and sat down. "Let's wait and see."

He looked at Raiden Mei and reassured her, "Don't worry, Mei. Their primary objective this time is to investigate the explosion and the energy source, not to capture anyone. As long as we don't launch an attack, there's a high probability that a fight won't break out."

“But…” Mei nervously twisted her fingers. She glanced at herself, still wearing her nightgown, and asked anxiously, “What if they… do something to me? After all, those things… happened because of me.”

Bronya silently walked to Mei's side. Although she didn't say anything, her standing there was a silent form of support.

"No, it won't happen." Gu Ye shook his head. "With me here, no one can hurt you."

Just as he finished speaking, a crisp doorbell rang out, sounding particularly abrupt in the quiet night.

Ding-dong-

All sounds in the living room vanished instantly.

W's smile grew even brighter, Rin Tohsaka's fingers unconsciously rested on the jeweled pouch on the hem of her skirt, and Haimura Kitagawa curiously craned her neck to look towards the doorway.

Raiden Mei's body trembled noticeably, and she looked at Gu Ye for help.

"It's alright, go open the door." Gu Ye gave her a reassuring smile. "Remember, you are the owner of this house."

Mei took a deep breath, as if drawing strength from Gu Ye's eyes.

She nodded, straightened her slightly disheveled nightgown, and walked with somewhat stiff steps toward the entrance.

With a soft "click," the heavy wooden door was slowly pulled open.

There were three people standing outside the door.

Leading the group was a tall woman wearing a fiery red trench coat. She had long, equally fiery red hair, a voluptuous figure, and her orange eyes sharpened instantly when she saw Mei opening the door.

Himeko Murata's gaze swept past Mei and into the living room.

Beside her stood a woman with short, grey-blonde hair, dressed in an elegant maid's dress.

Rita wore an impeccable, textbook-perfect smile. She bowed slightly and said in a gentle tone, "Good evening, Miss Raiden. I am truly sorry for visiting so late at night."

Her gaze seemed humble, but the moment she opened the door, she had already taken in everyone and every detail in the living room.

Standing at the back was a man wearing glasses, and Walter's expression was the most solemn.

He didn't look at anyone else; his gaze cut through the crowd and landed directly on the black-haired boy sitting leisurely on the sofa.

"You, hello!"

Mei's voice was hoarse and trembling, and she gripped the hem of her nightgown tightly with both hands.

“Good evening, Miss Thunder. Please don’t be nervous, we mean no harm.” Rita’s smile was flawless, her voice as gentle as the evening breeze, but her eyes seemed to see through everything. “We just want to ask if you know anything about the violent energy fluctuations that just happened here.”

“Energy…fluctuation?” Mei blinked blankly, tilting her head as if trying to understand the word. “I don’t quite understand. We were just awakened by that huge explosion outside, and we thought there was a gas leak somewhere.”

“Is that so?” Rita’s smile remained unchanged, her tone still gentle. “But we detected that the center of the energy is right above this villa, and its nature is very… peculiar.”

"Hey, Rita, don't scare that little girl." Himeko stepped forward, sizing up Mei with sharp eyes but no hostility. "Little girl, don't listen to her nonsense. We're here to deal with a terrorist attack. The thug who detonated the bomb has been subdued, so you're safe now."

As Himeko spoke, she gave Mei a smile that she thought was very reliable: "Judging from your appearance, you must have been quite frightened, right? It's alright now, go back and get some rest."

Walter Yang, who had been silent all along, pushed up his glasses. His gaze shifted from the black-haired boy sitting on the sofa in the living room to Mei, and he calmly said, "If you find anything unusual later, please contact us at any time."

"Okay, thank you." Mei nodded repeatedly, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

“Well then, excuse me.” Rita bowed gracefully again, then turned around with Himeko and Welt, their figures quickly disappearing into the night.

Only after the sound of the black sedan's engine faded into the distance did Mei, as if she had collapsed, lean against the door frame and let out a long breath.

In the living room, Rin Tohsaka loosened her fist from gripping the jewel, while W scoffed dismissively and turned her attention back to the television screen.

"Phew...it's finally over." Kitagawa Kaimu patted her chest, looking relieved. "That red-haired lady had such a strong presence! But her figure was absolutely amazing!"

“That’s not the point!” Rin Tohsaka couldn’t help but retort. “They’ve obviously already suspected this place, they just don’t have any evidence.”

“Bronya believes they will come back soon,” Bronya calmly analyzed. “The residual energy from earlier cannot be easily eliminated.”

"Alright, alright, don't be so tense." Gu Ye stood up from the sofa, stretched lazily, his joints cracking softly. "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. What are you afraid of?"

He glanced around the living room and finally said, "I'm going to take a shower. I feel all sticky and uncomfortable."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the bathroom, leaving a group of girls in the living room with their own thoughts.

Soon the sound of running water was heard in the bathroom.

The tense atmosphere in the living room eased considerably as the crisis was temporarily averted.

W was completely absorbed in her gangster movie, muttering lines along with the dialogue.

Rin and Bronya were discussing something in hushed tones, occasionally exchanging a serious glance.

"Hey, Mei-chan." Kitagawa Kaimu leaned closer to Mei and asked curiously, "Your house is so big! Is the bathroom that big too? And Gu Ye-kun, does it take you that long to take a shower?"

"Huh? I guess so..." Mei's thoughts were still a bit confused, and she could only answer subconsciously.

Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Gu Ye walked out wrapped in a bath towel.

His short, black hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, and water droplets slid down his well-defined chest and abdominal muscles, eventually disappearing into the towel around his waist.

He walked to the coffee table in the living room while drying his hair with a towel.

He casually took off the necklace he always wore around his neck and tossed it carelessly onto the glass tabletop.

A soft "clang" sound drew everyone's attention.

It was an ordinary-looking silver chain, but the pendant was unusually peculiar—an archaic arrowhead in the shape of a beetle relief, with intricate and strange patterns engraved on its shaft, reflecting an eerie luster under the bright crystal chandelier in the living room.

Chapter 20 The Herrscher of Thunder—At this moment, she descends.

"Wow! This necklace is so cool!" Hai Meng's eyes lit up immediately. She picked up the necklace and examined it from all angles. "Is this arrow real? It looks so sharp!"

"Probably," Gu Ye replied casually, drying his hair.
