Honkai Shura Field: Dear, Who is She?

Chapter 2: The Big Three

At dawn, the light of day breaks, all things come back to life, and everything seems like a picture scroll being unfolded.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shines into the room through the window, illuminating the person sleeping on the bed.

Akito slowly opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the prosperity and light outside.

Wandering and confused.

"I'm back..." Akito whispered, his mind still lingering on every little detail with Bronya.

The eight years Akito spent in the copy were just eight hours in the main world.

Akito traveled through time before falling asleep, which meant that when he came back, it was time for school.

Akito is an ordinary person in the Honkai World, currently studying at Chiba Academy. He was arranged by the system during his first transmigration.

In the main world, he can still see the fourteen-year-old Bronya, but this Bronya is not the Bronya he likes.

Akito will never see that girl, who likes to act coquettishly and may be stubborn in words but her body leans on him honestly.

She likes to take naps and only sleeps for an hour each time.

She likes to drink afternoon tea, so Akito will take time to make tea for her every afternoon.

She would pout her lips when she slept, and Akito took advantage of her.

…

It's all in the past, and everything in the past is just a prologue.

He would never see her again, her coquettishness, her naive look; he would never see her again.

Eight years of companionship, and eight years of love, all turned into illusory bubbles that disappeared at the slightest touch.

As if nothing had happened.

"System, I feel... bad right now... I thought I could get out of this if I could control my emotions, and treat everything in the past as a game."

Akito's voice was a little sobbing, sobbing, he stretched out his hand to cover his chest and pressed heavily on his heart.

"But I can't do it now. I'm tired..."

The peacock flies southeast, pausing every five miles.

(TL: "The peacock flies southeast, pausing every five miles" The phrase depicts the graceful yet measured flight of a peacock, symbolizing beauty, dignity, and sorrow. The bird's pauses every five miles suggest a journey marked by hesitation or obstacles, adding a melancholic tone.)

Even peacocks are affectionate, let alone humans?

Hearing Akito's words of giving up, the cold and mechanical system responded for the first time in history -

[You just can't let go. When you let go of the first one, there will naturally be a second one, a third one... You come from the era of fast-food love, why are you so obsessed and can't forget it? That rain brought you together, you thought it was an eternal love, but in fact, the rainy day can only bring you coldness and embarrassment.]

[I won't assign you any tasks in the near future, so calm yourself down first. By the way, Mei from the main world is also one of the targets. Now that ME Company has closed down and Mei has been spurned by everyone, this is a good opportunity for you to take advantage of it. If you miss this opportunity, there will never be another such perfect opportunity.]

Akito shook his head: "No... It's always like this. In the end, no one can stay. They... are not prey."

In a corner of Nagazora City, the silver-haired girl stretched out her delicate fingers, pressed them on her temples, and muttered something.

"Bronya, your mission this time is to activate the third Herrscher, the Herrscher of Thunder, and bring her back after she awakens. I will create an artificial eruption soon. For now, you just need to observe the Herrscher's body. Do you understand?"

Cocolia ordered, but Bronya remained unmoved.

Her silver-gray pupils trembled, and she stretched out her hands, only to find that they were a pair of tender hands that belonged only to a child.

'What's going on... Mother Cocolia wants me to activate the Third Herrscher. The Herrscher? Activate? Have I returned to the past...'

Bronya hesitated, but Cocolia's urgent voice came through the communicator:

"Bronya? Bronya?"

"Okay, Mother, I heard it." Bronya responded her tone calm and without any disturbance.

'I heard it, but I wouldn't necessarily do it. Mom, you're wrong.'

'And Mei, Kiana... I will protect you this time, and also... Aki.'

Bronya bit her lip, her eyes full of determination. She remembered the day when she met Akito, the time and place clearly.

But Bronya couldn't wait. What she had to do now was to hack into the population collection information form of Nagazora City. If she couldn't find him, she would go to Canghai City, Tianqiong City... until she found him!

(TL: IDK where's the two places she mentions but probably a city in China)

"Liar, you'd better pray that I don't find you." Bronya's calm face actually revealed a sweet smile.

As soon as Bronya took the first step to find Akito, she fell heavily to the ground, and dust flew up, staining her whole body.

"Tsk, I forgot my legs are still exoskeletons. I'm not used to it. Then... Project Bunny 19C, Load!"

As soon as the voice fell, a suspended machine that looked nothing like a rabbit lifted up the petite Bronya and quickly moved forward. She embarked on the journey to find her husband...

'Akito, wait for me!'

......

Classes have already started at Chiba Academy.

The breeze blows in her ears, and the scent of lavender fills her face.

Long purple hair, light purple eyes, a high ponytail tied with a purple spotted bow, and a standard black and white cherry blossom school uniform.

Since the time Raiden Ryoma was locked up in silver handcuffs on TV, Mei felt an endless amount of grievances in her heart.

During this time, no one understood or sympathized with her.

Everyone isolated and excluded her, slandering and ridiculing her behind her back or in front of her.

Her once close friends began to distance themselves from her, and Mei realized that what they had been concerned about was not her, but the title of "Raiden."

So Mei gradually moved away from the crowd and started to keep to herself.

When she is alone, she can no longer bear the grievance and cry alone in her bed at night.

Even when she was in class, it was not a quiet day waiting for her. Countless cold eyes and sarcasm gathered on her again, like a maggot on the tarsal bone that could not be eliminated for a long time.

But as a good student, Mei still listened to the teacher carefully and took notes seriously. She looked very cute and diligent.

Of course, Akito didn't see it. As Mei's classmate, Akito never spoke a word to her from beginning to end.

Akito didn't want to improve Raiden Mei's favorability. Of course, another reason was that he was too sleepy.

After all, he was pretending to sleep before returning and would sneak away after Bronya fell asleep. He would go straight to school after returning, which meant he hadn't slept for more than a day and was extremely sleepy.

As for why the teachers didn't point Akito out and criticize him, it all started with the books Akito pulled out of the pool: "Complete Book of Advanced Mathematics," "Comprehensive Solution to the Oxford Dictionary," "Interesting Physics," and "On Literature"...

"What's so great about that? The daughter of a criminal is pretending to study. Who is she doing this for?"

"We have to be careful and pack up our belongings, or this 'Miss Raiden' might inherit her father's 'fine tradition' and steal!"

"How dare she, the daughter of a criminal, come to school? Bah, she has no shame. If I were her, I would have dropped out of school and stayed at home."

The whispers in the audience made Mei upset, she believed that her father was not that kind of person.

Human nature is evil because it is not evil, but not knowing evil. The tongue has no bones, but it can hurt people a lot.

At noon, Mei opened her simple lunch box. Because her father's funds were frozen, she was left with only a small amount of money and a big house with no one to take care of it.

Mei also started learning to cook for herself. The food tasted bad at first, but she gradually got used to it.

Mei's cooking now can be considered delicious, but it is far from the high-end dishes prepared by the servants in the past.

People are always like this, despising each other.

Seeing Raiden Mei's miserable state, one girl said with disdain, "Ah, how can a young lady still eat such coarse grains and chaff? How can you be worthy of the title of Miss of the ME Corp.?"

"Oh, I see. Raiden Ryoma's funds have been frozen. Is he out of money?"

Hearing these vicious words, Mei just lowered her head and swallowed them bit by bit.

Akito noticed that Mei's body was trembling slightly, and her purple bangs covered her eyes, but her lonely expression could still be seen.

Akito actually never understood why girls had to be so confrontational and do things against each other. Isn't it disgusting?

But think about it carefully.

The executioner did not feel that his hands were dirty, and the soldiers did not think that their killing was a sin.

Reality is often more outrageous and absurd than fiction.

[If you protect her now, your favorability will go up easily. A one-star favorability will go up to two stars immediately. If you take good care of her, maybe you can even get four stars. Are you really not going?]

Akito said fiercely in his heart: No!

One star is a familiar stranger, two stars are friends, three stars are lovers, four stars are a life-and-death relationship, and it is also the standard for completing the strategy. As for five stars... Akito has not yet completed a five-star favorable character.

As for why his favorability rating is one star instead of zero even though he hasn't said a word to Mei, it's all due to his outstanding appearance.

Akito looks like a gentle and elegant young man who can be spotted at a glance when standing in a crowd.

"What are you talking about! Stay away from my Mei!"

A loud and clear female voice sounded, and a white-haired girl rushed in recklessly, staring viciously at the girls who had just spoken coldly to Mei.

But Akito was very alert.

The system prompts:

[A possible target appears—Kiana Kaslana, age 16, birthday is December 7, height 163cm, weight 49kg, measurements are 84/59/87...]

'You don't need to go into so much detail.'

'It's not like I don't know…'
