133 Chapter 133: Kevin's Solicitation, Mei's Choice
Old: I'll be back in after January 20-30.
Gotta focus on school and gacha.
To those that care... anyway
New:
Me back! Since I'm in sem break... planning to translate another fic. It's a weird one, so fingers crossed that I won't drop it or something.

The next day, the sun rose as usual.
The sea water engulfing the city remained as calm as ever, without a ripple. However, the water level had risen by over ten meters overnight.
This was not a normal phenomenon, and Chase knew the reason.
Anyway, it was related to Otto.
"Everything is Otto's fault!" This statement, when directed at Otto, actually had some truth to it.
Just like how responsibility for certain incidents could always be passed to Amakusa Shirou Tokisada in Fate/EXTRA, in this world, all the blame could indeed be placed on Otto's shoulders. The key was that he could handle it with stability and accuracy, even laughing and mocking you with a casual remark about whether you had eaten, dismissing the accusation as insignificant, and insulting you subtly.
Chase couldn't help but sigh. Now, he even had to run around for Otto's sake. Although it was Kevin's task, he still felt somewhat displeased.
"Hmm?" Sensing someone approaching, Chase turned his head to see the hooded crow, "Have those kids packed up properly?"
The crow raised an eyebrow but didn't respond, instead gesturing in a direction. Chase followed the direction and saw the children frantically moving things from the warehouse. Despite the sudden relocation making them appear flustered, the smiles on their faces indicated that they were in good spirits.
"It's almost done, but I doubt we'll make it in time. The transport plane is arriving soon. Whatever we can't take with us, we'll have to leave behind," the crow sighed, sounding somewhat helpless. "After all, the big ones will be coming soon, and I don't want these kids to be caught in such a dangerous environment."
"What are your plans now?" Chase asked with interest. "Are you still planning to buy a villa island?"
"Could you stop mentioning the villa island?" The crow's smile took on a dangerous edge, and seeing Chase wisely refraining from further comments, it suppressed the urge to find a brick on the ground and continued, "Most of these kids are survivors from the Honkai, and they possess Stigmata, but they're not complete. Although they've gained the power to survive in the Honkai, they can't continue living without the Honkai Energy. They'll experience withdrawal symptoms."
"I plan to take them to the World Serpent first. With the current level of technology, there isn't a quick and effective treatment method. To reduce the risk, we have to rely on long-term medication to slowly stimulate the complete awakening of their Stigmata."
"Fortunately, the World Serpent can provide stable medication... Although Jackal is a pain in the ass, she is indeed a genius."
"She's a bit crazy though..." Chase silently commented.
The crow opened its mouth as if to say something but swallowed the words back.
Indeed, Jackal was a bit crazy, there was no denying that. But... maybe that was just the personality of a scientist?
......
Kiana's current state of mind was extremely chaotic.
"Sirin, what are you doing? Ahhh!!!" The girl screamed inwardly, but the initiator paid no attention, completely oblivious, watching the situation unfold with a proud and indifferent demeanor, as if what had happened before had nothing to do with her.
The Queen of the Void turned away, ignoring Kiana's extremely embarrassed questioning. Meanwhile, the white-haired girl paced back and forth, running, rolling, occasionally jumping up and down, looking quite pitiful.
In Kiana's consciousness space, Fu Hua, who had been roommates with her as the Queen of the Void for a long time, didn't expect to have such a big drama to watch. She quietly retreated to a corner, watching quietly.
Fu Hua: OMO
"Why are you just standing there watching, Squad Leader!" Kiana appealed for help, but to no avail, seeking assistance from Fu Hua.
Fu Hua just shook her head slightly, offering an awkward yet polite smile, and shrugged, indicating that she was also powerless.
Kiana felt even more desperate.
What should she do, what should she do!
Although I understand your desire to reunite with your loved ones, but... why did you have to get so close?
Sirin, you've caused a lot of trouble!!!
Kiana felt utterly embarrassed, and now she had regained control of her body, she rolled around forcefully on the small bed in the cramped room.

There was a thud, and Bella, who was quietly sitting on the edge of the bed, watching this interesting scene, was pushed off the bed by Kiana, her small body falling onto the wooden floor with a dull thud.
Sitting on the ground like a duck, the gray-haired girl looked innocent, clearly hitting her buttocks, but she touched her head instead, looking dumbfounded and silly.
Kiana, who was crawling on the bed in the dark, was also startled by this dull thud, suddenly waking up, and looked towards Bella, who sat on the ground with a pitiful look, scratching her cheek with guilt written all over her face.
Now she had hurt her friend.
"Bella, are you okay?" Kiana quickly helped Bella up, her face full of apologies.
"Ish okay." Bella sleepily shook her head. "Bella forgib Queen Lady, but... no more next time."
Kiana opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but was suddenly interrupted. -!
A roar, a beam of light, the sky shattered in the light, falling like glass.
Subconsciously sensing the impending danger, Kiana rushed outside and found that Nagazora City had already become a different world.
The buildings were shaking, and the strong winds tilted from the cracks, pushing Kiana down. Fortunately, Bella was by her side, supporting Kiana, preventing her from falling.
Kiana glanced gratefully at Bella, stabilized her figure, and raised her head, only to see the seawater engulfing the city constantly receding.
No...! It's not receding... it's "nesting" upwards, or rather, the surrounding buildings... were converging towards the big hole opening up in the sky!
Kiana was slightly surprised, contemplating a plan of action, when she heard a muffled roar in the distance, followed by explosions and collapsing sounds.
Finally, there was light, an endless white light that completely engulfed the world in front of Kiana -
....
"It seems the experiment has begun." Hearing the cold voice, Raiden Mei turned around, shifting her gaze from the shocking scene to the white-haired man.
"You still have a choice, to become an Herrscher, and then... to become a member of the 'Serpent.'"
"This is also for the girl you care about."
Raiden Mei fell into silence.
