Chapter 24

(I feel so relaxed...)

Raiden Mei looked at the two heads resting on her legs and thought involuntarily.

Kiana is so cute, Bai Ge is so handsome. It's truly lucky that she could become friends with these two.

The girl's sleeping face was as innocent as an angel's, quiet and elegant, completely opposite to when she was awake. She was worthy of the name "Moonlight Goddess"; she was as noble and beautiful as a princess in a story.

It made Mei feel a little ashamed of herself.

The young man's sleeping face made Mei unable to look away even more. His exquisite and upright features, like a prince in a fairy tale, and his slightly furrowed brows, as if he were worried about something, made Raiden Mei very concerned and caring.

The midday sun shone on them, and every strand of their white hair seemed to be glowing.

Paired with Bai Ge and Kiana's looks, which could kill 99% of the people in the world.

Mei just felt that the art style had changed at this moment; her eyes seemed to have been nourished.

(Uh, is this scene already a bit sacred? Are these two so, so... beautiful when they quiet down? Could it be that two angels are lying on my legs?)

Mei took a deep breath, carefully raised her hand and placed it on their heads, gently touching Bai Ge and Kiana's hair. The girl's lips curled up involuntarily.

(I really want this time to last forever.)

The flow of time seemed to slow down at this moment, and Mei's thoughts began to wander.

While petting the two white-haired dumplings on her legs, she thought about the two of them.

(Come to think of it, both Bai Ge and Kiana give me a mysterious feeling.)

(They know about me, but I don't know much about their stories yet.)

(Where does Kiana come from? She's so mysterious. Occasionally, she'll have some extra wounds on her body.)

(Bai Ge is also so incredible. Is he from Shenzhou? And... recently, he seems to be busy with some things I don't know about.)

At this moment, Raiden Mei suddenly realized that she couldn't be considered to know these two at all.

She only knew they were kind, brave, lively, cheerful, and didn't care much about others' opinions, but she didn't know anything else.

And...

When Mei quietly watched the two on her lap, she suddenly found that they were very similar: the same white hair, the same cheerfulness, the same mystery.

(Bai Ge and Kiana look so well-matched...)

Before Kiana arrived, the young man's gentleness seemed to belong only to Mei.

However, after Kiana arrived, Mei found that the young man was not a prince who belonged only to her.

Rather, Bai Ge's attitude toward Kiana seemed to have a bit more... doting?

(No, no, what am I thinking? Bai Ge didn't belong to me in the first place. It's too arrogant for me to think this way. We are just fake lovers.)

(I am just unilaterally accepting the protection he gives, so I cannot be greedy for more.)

(This is very good, it's very good now. I made real friends for the first time, I have someone I care about for the first time. I must cherish these two joys.)

Mei shook her head violently, as if to shake all the thoughts just now out of her mind. However, just as she was thinking about adjusting her mindset quickly.

【Raiden Mei, is that really what you think?】

Suddenly, a female voice appeared in her mind.

【Do you really not want to monopolize Bai Ge? Do you really not want him to become your prince alone? Also, you are just a weak crybaby, Raiden Mei. You can't do anything.】

It was the same female voice as Mei's own, but the tone was so high and mighty, so cold and indifferent, like a proud queen.

【Hmph!】

Mei was startled.

She thought it was someone's prank and hurriedly turned her head to look around. However, that queen-like voice just gave another light hmph and disappeared.

"Is, is it a hallucination? Strange."

She breathed a sigh of relief, but when Mei lowered her head again to look at the sleeping Bai Ge, she felt a little guilty for some reason.

At this moment.

"Creak~~"

The iron door of the rooftop made a sound.

She keenly sensed a bit of aura.

"Who's there? Come out!" Mei shouted at a volume that wouldn't wake Bai Ge and Kiana.

Although her personality was a bit weak now, even so, Mei had practiced the sword technique inherited by the Raiden family, the Hokushin Itto-ryu, to the level of a master.

Her five senses were sharper than ordinary people's.

"!!!"

Not expecting their presence to be discovered, several girls appeared from the stairwell passage.

These people had livid expressions, especially when looking at the two lying on Mei's legs, they were full of apprehension.

But even so, they were still unforgiving.

"Hmph, daughter of a swindler, how much longer do you intend to stay in school?"

"Don't think that finding two helpers can change your current situation."

"Although you seem to get along quite well, who knows if these two aren't just playing friend games with you for something? Otherwise, what qualifications does someone like Raiden Mei have... Wah-ah-ah!"

Before this person could finish speaking.

A baseball bat and a brick flew toward these people.

It directly scared the girls who were just verbally bullying Raiden Mei into wailing.

"You guys, bullying Mei again!"

"I warned you, it seems the lesson from before was too light."

"Bai Ge, Kiana..."

Raiden Mei looked at the two who had suddenly woken up in surprise. She didn't know where they had hidden the brick and the baseball bat.

But seeing Bai Ge and Kiana so angry because of her, Raiden Mei was very moved, and her gaze toward the two became increasingly soft.

【Hmph, what a crybaby...】
