Honkai Shura Field: Dear, Who is She?

Chapter 9: The Weeping Little Angel

'I'm so angry! I'm so angry! I'm so angry that I can't even eat!'

'Just refuse them graciously. Why are you, a bunch of passers-by, trying to get involved? I am really impressed by you idiots!'

Akito picked up the rice angrily and wolfed down the few remaining dishes as he walked.

Food cannot be wasted! So Akito turned his grief and anger into appetite, eating big bites without caring about his image.

After eating, there were still a lot of oil stains at the corners of his mouth, which was inconsistent with his gentle and elegant temperament.

"Class Monitor... is he angry..."

"Nonsense! Speak softly. The Class Monitor is kindhearted. After hearing what you said, he will definitely want to protect that girl! So he would rather tarnish his own image to express his anger and signal us not to criticize that girl."

For a moment, all kinds of discussions were heard in the cafeteria. Youth is noisy, and chattering and nonsense are the norm.

Mei put down her lunch and fell into deep thought...

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her bright and clear eyes shook, and her mind was full of images of Akito getting angry.

Mei murmured in a voice that no one could hear: "So... it was to protect me..."

'Mei, you are such a fool! Akito did such a thankless thing for you that night, how could he possibly hurt you? But why... We obviously have nothing to do with each other, we are obviously just classmates...'

Mei's mind is very confused now. She doesn't understand why Akito is helping her everywhere, like a dutiful knight who vows to protect the princess from harm.

This kind of unreserved devotion made Mei feel confused, as she has always been a person without her own opinion.

Since she was a child, Mei would do whatever Raiden Ryoma said, and people around her would often praise her for being a very obedient and kind girl.

She also does some charity activities and helps classmates and people in need.

But in fact, only Mei herself knows that she is just wearing a bright and beautiful coat. She...

It's just because of "vanity." Being praised, supported, and loved by people around her is something that makes Mei satisfied.

'I am a bad girl...'

Mei will be very happy whenever someone praises her as a "young lady" or "pretty and kind-hearted."

She felt that she shouldn't be like this, but... such vanity was as tempting as poppy.

Mei was sinking into it. The huge quagmire dragged her into the abyss and she couldn't even scream for help.

Akito also helps his classmates from time to time and uses his spare time to tutor them tirelessly.

When he helps others, his eyes seem to shine brightly.

But Mei turned a blind eye to it, thinking that Akito was just like herself, a hypocritical person who only cared about the honor and satisfaction brought by "vanity."

It wasn't until now that Mei realized how stupid she had been in the past.

Akito has always treated everyone sincerely. He doesn't need others to understand or know his intentions.

'For this reason, after helping me, he remained the same as before and did not use this to get closer to me.'

'If it were someone else, they would surely tell me these things in a serious manner.'

'Although it is a bit of taking advantage of someone's misfortune, I will definitely be grateful to the other party.'

'But Akito didn't...'

He continued to do his own thing, indifferent and quiet.

After lunch, they returned to the classroom and had a nap.

(TL: Wait they have nap time in school this is unfair)

The students lay their heads on the desks and fell asleep peacefully, and the huge classroom became silent.

Whether it is high grade or low grade, this sleeping time is unified. Otherwise, if one grade sleeps, the schedule of another grade will seriously affect the sleep quality of the other grade.

There are always a few leaders who are seriously ill, and their work and rest schedules are neither human nor ghost. Akito suffered such torture when he was on Earth.

'I couldn't sleep at all! Fortunately, Chiba Academy is a first-class middle school, so they handled this well.'

But even so, there are always some people who can't sleep, and Mei is one of them.

She felt extremely ashamed and kept thinking about how to make it up to Akito.

Tutor him? Although Mei's grades have always been among the best, she is still far behind Akito, who is always number one.

'Send lunch? But my current cooking skills... although they are not bad, it is too difficult to make Akito think that the food is delicious. I have to learn cooking skills well in the future!'

Mei thought about it over and over again, and searched for a long time but still couldn't think of a way to repay him.

'Wait, Hokuchin Itto-ryu! I can teach him swordsmanship!'

'The club that Akito joined seemed to be the Kendo Club. Although he had always been regarded as a recruiting name, he had never shown his true strength...'

But Mei is very confident! Hokuchin Ittoryu is a martial art for the battlefield, and each move is aimed at depriving the opponent of his fighting power and ending the battle quickly and without injury.

It is a martial art against people! Mei learned from her father, Raiden Ryoma. With her extraordinary talent, she acquired the Hokuchin Ittoryu Menkyo Kaiden at a young age and developed her own understanding of kendo.

Even his father, the grandmaster of the kendo world, praised her, saying that it was almost impossible for people of her age to rival her, and that she could even exchange a few moves with some famous elders!

'My father has always been strict, so Mei is very confident. Even my father commented on my swordsmanship in this way, so I can definitely teach Akito!'

'However... Hokuchin Itto-ryu cannot be passed on to others, so... I'll just teach you a little bit at a time.'

'Well, there are club classes in the afternoon, so I'll definitely be able to do it!'

The more Mei thought about it, the more excited she became. Her whole mood improved and she couldn't sleep even more.

On the other hand, Kiana, a freshman downstairs, had saliva constantly flowing down from the corners of her mouth, forming a small puddle of water on the table.

Kiana was dreaming, a...very strange dream.

In her dream, she saw a person who looked exactly like her, but the other person's eyes were not Kaslana's standard blue eyes.

Instead, it was a pair of noble golden cross eyes, which seemed to be filled with stars, shining, brilliant and dazzling.

The place in the dream was the snowfield of Siberia, with white snow covering the sky and the earth, and silver frost flying everywhere, just like the other person's long white hair that flowed like a waterfall, and that beautiful face as if she was the incarnation of Artemis.

'It's very strange. Our faces are the same, so why does the other person look prettier than me?'

'Just because of the different hairstyle?'

Kiana didn't understand. In terms of temperament, Paramecium was still too advanced now.

The queen glanced at Kiana, her starry eyes bursting with anger.

Humanity... die! Die!

This chaos and anger lasted only for a moment and then returned to calm.

"Aki, I won't continue to destroy the world. You said that doing so would only make you hate me more..."

"In fact, as long as you say 'save me'..."

"I will forgive everyone without hesitation, Valkyrie, researcher, Otto, test subjects, even if they are enemies of my god, I am willing to do so!"

"You said that Siberia is very cold and you would take care of all the wind and frost for me."

"But it was precisely this biting snowflake that brought us together, and also brought us parting..."

"Humans torture you, tear your flesh, and crush your spine... and I can only watch, helplessly watch..."

"I will kill them all, leaving no one alive! But the last words you gave me were... let go."

"I've let it go. Can you come back? Sirin is very well-behaved now. Sirin doesn't kill anyone anymore. Sirin knows she was wrong now. Sirin just wants you to come back..."

Kiana looked at the queen who was talking to herself, and suddenly she felt an inexplicable pain, suffocation, despair, sadness, helplessness, and loneliness in her heart...

The body was getting colder and colder, and consciousness was becoming blurred.

In the last moment when Kiana's consciousness faded, she saw herself crying...

"Please, don't die... Sirin wants to see you again."

"Aki, open your eyes and look at Sirin, okay?"
