Chapter 96 - Chapter 96: Why Can the Island Fly?

Hearing this, people in the real world sighed one after another.

[Didn't expect that even Miss Mei has unbearable memories]

[Sigh, under Honkai, everyone is in danger]

[How fortunate that our real world doesn't have Honkai]

———

[In the Video.]

When Raiden Mei spoke up to here, beside her, Kong suddenly asked, "Was that person Kiana?"

Raiden Mei heard the voice and was just about to answer, but suddenly, a strange memory flashed through her mind.

She saw herself locked in a bathroom stall by others, and those people had poured water all over her. Her body was very cold, and the surroundings were very dark.

Just when Raiden Mei didn't know what to do, the door of the stall was suddenly smashed open.

In the light, Raiden Mei saw clearly the face of that person...

It was not Kiana, but a boy?

[One Hour Later, on the Helios.]

Because it was already late, after scouting the route, Raiden Mei brought Kong onto the ship. She warmly served her with her specialty dish.

Looking at Kong beside her, speechless with excitement because of the delicious food, Raiden Mei also showed a smile on her face.

Because the greatest compliment a diner can give a chef is to eat the dish clean.

But soon, a trace of disappointment flashed through Raiden Mei's heart. Because she thought again of that silver-haired girl who used to be by her side every day, saying in a spoiled tone, 'Mei, I'm hungry~'

Throwing out the messy thoughts from her mind, Raiden Mei looked at Kong gently and said, "There's still plenty in the kitchen, eat as much as you want."

At this, Kong, while gulping down curry in big bites, said with emotion, "Even though so many chili peppers were added, it's... not spicy at all, instead it's very tasty."

Beside them, Tesla, who was also eating rice, interjected, "Because they're sweet peppers."

After a while, everyone finished dinner.

Kong, patting her full belly, expressed her thanks to the people present.

"Sigh, if only Sensei also had Mei's cooking skills, that would be great. Sensei is good at everything, except the food she cooks just isn't lovable…"

Seeing Kong take the initiative to start a topic, Tesla took the opportunity to ask about what kind of person this "Sensei" really was.

From Kong's description, they learned that their teacher was a woman who, through tireless effort, climbed from the bottom of society to a high position.

After accumulating all these years, their teacher had saved a fortune of her own, and used this wealth to buy a private island. She planned to renovate it and then bring all the children there, far away from the harassment of Honkai.

Speaking of this, a trace of helplessness appeared on Kong's face.

Raiden Mei quickly asked, "What happened?"

After a while, after adjusting her emotions, Kong spoke again. But Raiden Mei and Tesla could both hear the disappointment in the girl's tone.

"Four months ago, a major Honkai outbreak happened in the real world. At that time, Sensei stood in front, protecting us from being attacked by the Honkai beasts. The chaos lasted for several hours before it finally subsided, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. But just then, bad news came from far away, Sensei's island had sunk forever during the Honkai..."

Hearing this, not only Raiden Mei and Tesla, even the real-world netizens could hear the despair in this story.

Many working people deeply expressed their empathy.

[Just hearing it is painful]

[Reminds me of the house I'm stuck paying off in Yokohama]

[Wuwuwu, stop, I'm okay, but I have a friend who is sweating bullets]

———

[Back to the Video.]

Kong continued speaking.

"I still remember what Sensei looked like, expressionless, silent, yet pacing back and forth in the room nonstop, running, rolling. She kept muttering that it was fine, but the tears just kept falling in big drops."

"In the end, Sensei finally couldn't hold back, ran out like a child, and cried loudly toward the end of the sea… She cried and cried, until her tears dried, her voice became hoarse, only then did she stand up."

"I'll never forget that moment. She made a vow toward the setting sun..."

'No matter the price, humanity will definitely defeat Honkai!!!'

Hearing this, Raiden Mei and Tesla looked at each other and sighed silently.

"How to say this... This really is... a sad story."

Everyone chatted idly for a while longer, and the sky gradually began to darken.

To be cautious, Raiden Mei decided to personally escort Kong back to the residence called the "Nest," and considerately packed her specialty curry for Kong to take back.

Watching the two figures slowly fade into the distance, Tesla sighed, "Seriously, when it comes to taking care of people, no one beats her~"

After speaking, Tesla prepared to turn around and leave the dining hall. Suddenly, she abruptly stopped in her tracks, as if realizing something.

"Wait a second! Who's doing the dishes today?"

The next day, Tesla, still asleep, was suddenly shaken awake by someone vigorously.

Slowly opening her eyes, what entered her view was Raiden Mei with a flustered expression.

"Doctor, not good! The water level of Changkong City suddenly rose!"

Hearing this, Tesla didn't care about sleep anymore and quickly followed Raiden Mei outside.

Sure enough, upon reaching outside the warship, Tesla discovered that compared to yesterday, the city's water level had risen by more than ten meters.

This was clearly not a normal phenomenon. Feeling the dense Honkai energy in the surroundings, Tesla had an uneasy premonition in her heart.

At this moment, Raiden Mei suddenly said, "The children might be in danger, we have to hurry over."

After that, the two immediately rushed toward the location of the "Nest."

Luckily, they arrived in time, and fortunately, nothing had gone wrong.

After helping the children move supplies, Tesla was still very concerned about the sudden rise in water level and the gathering of Honkai beasts.

At this time, Kong suddenly said, "Yesterday I saw a huge Honkai beast. It seemed to be the leader of the group, followed by countless Honkai beasts..."

Hearing this, Raiden Mei asked urgently, "Kong, where did you see it?"

"Right near the Changkong Wall, I can take you there."

Afterward, Tesla and Raiden Mei decided to split up.

Tesla stayed at the "Nest" to protect the children, while Raiden Mei went with Kong to investigate the situation.

As they got closer to the Changkong Wall, the Honkai energy in the air grew denser. And this dense Honkai energy made Raiden Mei feel very uncomfortable.

But what surprised her was that in such thick Honkai energy, Kong seemed unaffected. But at this moment, Raiden Mei had no time to think about that. Because she heard a roar coming from not far away.

And that sound, she could never forget...
