Then, Bella noticed that one of the girls was missing and couldn't help but ask, "Where's Mei?"
“If it’s Mei-neechan… Bronya should know where Mei-neechan is.”
"where is it?"
"Bronya saw Mei go to the rooftop earlier."
"The rooftop..."
Bella murmured softly, then said, "Sister Cecilia, I'm going to go to the rooftop to take a look."
Before Cecilia could answer, Bella unfurled a pair of lightning wings, propelling her towards the stairwell and straight to the rooftop of the teaching building.
Cecilia watched Bella leave, then comforted her daughters for a few moments before leading them out of the school building to wait for Bella at the entrance of Chiba Academy.
Penglaiji Jiuxiao hesitated for a few seconds before finally choosing to follow Cecilia and the others.
With Honkai Beasts rampaging, Chiba Academy may not be safe, but following Cecilia and the others will definitely ensure safety.
From the limited abilities Bella just displayed, it's enough to glimpse the strength of Cecilia and the others.
……
Chiba Academy, rooftop of the teaching building.
Raiden Mei sat on the edge of the rooftop, gazing blankly at the battle raging in Academy City.
Even though she tried her best to prevent it from happening, in the end she couldn't stop it...
Thinking of this, Raiden Mei's brows furrowed with guilt, and her mood became even more depressed.
In layman's terms, it's "EMO".
If Cecilia hadn't agreed to her relationship with Qiu Bi, she might have developed a "misanthropic" attitude long ago.
Then, as if sensing something, Raiden Mei subconsciously turned her head to look at the entrance to the rooftop.
"Sister Bella, what brings you here? Is Dr. Qiu here too?"
Upon seeing who it was, Raiden Mei's mood brightened, and she immediately stood up and walked towards Bella.
"It's just me, Aurora, and Cecilia. Qiu Bi went to pick up Seele and the others."
Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei's joyful expression froze, and she gradually became depressed.
Bella scrutinized Raiden Mei and noticed something different about her.
—A pair of dark red "horns" grew on Raiden Mei's forehead.
"Mei, what's wrong with you?"
Bella pointed to her forehead, making a pointed remark.
Raiden Mei touched the "horn" growing on her forehead, her mood sinking even further.
"Ever since I merged with Shadow, my body has become like this—it doesn't look like a human at all, but rather more like a 'monster'."
"I think it's pretty good; at least Qiu Bi should like it."
"Huh? Dr. Qiu would like it? Sister Bella, you..."
Raiden Mei bit her lip lightly, then hesitated before asking, "You're not lying to me?"
"of course not."
Bella answered without hesitation, and then explained, "According to Qiu Bi, your 'horn' can be used as a 'steering wheel' or a 'handle,' which can add a lot of fun."
If her body weren't unable to develop further and grow parts resembling "horns" and a "tail," Bella would definitely choose to grow "horns" and a "tail" to add fun to her nighttime life.
Upon hearing Bella's words, Raiden Mei's cheeks flushed slightly.
Raiden Mei is no longer the naive girl she once was. While she doesn't know much about the pleasures of men and women, she does have some knowledge of them.
When she lived at Qiu Bi's house, Raiden would often use her own characteristics to secretly watch and learn various positions, and then verbally relay them to Raiden Mei.
Raiden Mei was initially confused, but after Raiden took over her body and used her phone to search for a lot of related information, she finally understood the meaning of those "poses".
Over time, although Raiden Mei had no practical experience, her theoretical knowledge had become very rich through Raiden's movies.
Therefore, when she heard the words "steering wheel" and "handle", Raiden Mei understood them instantly.
"Mei, don't worry about the Honkai Beasts. Sirin will lead the magical girls to take care of it."
"But..." Raiden Mei hesitated for a long time before finally voicing her doubts, "Will Dr. Qiu and my sisters really accept me as I am now?"
"Why won't you accept it? No matter what you become, you will always be 'Raiden Mei', without any change."
Bella is the most obvious example.
Despite being a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, she successfully "rebelled" and became one of Sirin's "mothers," without even having to worry about getting pregnant.
Unfortunately, Bella doesn't have a "dragon tail," so she can't be the most unique among the "mothers."
Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei was slightly taken aback, recalling what Qiu Bi had said ten years ago—
"No matter what Mei becomes, I will never despise you."
Thinking of this, Raiden Mei's gloom vanished, and she returned to her usual serene and dignified demeanor.
"Then... Sister Bella, shall we go back together?"
"Hmm, it might give Qiu Bi a pleasant surprise."
Bella smiled gently, and suddenly a pair of lightning wings unfolded behind her, shimmering with a dazzling azure light.
Raiden Mei also unfurled lightning wings behind her, but they were significantly different from Bella's.
Bella's lightning wings are "wings" woven from lightning, which can be used as easily as real wings. Raiden Mei's lightning wings, on the other hand, are three purple prismatic crystals distributed on the left side of her back, which look more like "broken wings" that serve as decoration.
Chapter 139: Defection? Corruption?
Qiu Bi was unaware of what had happened at Chiyu Academy, let alone that Cecilia and the others had embarked on their journey back to their apartment.
At that moment, he had just arrived at the school where Xi'er and the other girls were.
Because junior high school girls generally have low combat power, Sirin specially dispatched a "veteran magical girl" from the vicinity to assist the magical girls of this junior high school.
As Sirin's "father," Qiu Bi is naturally known to most magical girls.
Therefore, Qiu Bi entered the junior high school without much hindrance.
It's worth mentioning that, in this school, only Seele, Rosalia, and Lilia are not magical girls.
As for apricots...
As Sirin's loyal "sidekick," she had long since become a magical girl.
"Brother Qiu Bi, you've come to pick up Xi'er."
"Hmm, is Seele alright?"
Qiu Bi hugged Xi'er and gently stroked her back.
Seele nestled quietly in Qiu Bi's arms and then replied, "No~ After those monsters appeared, Sister Xing led the magical girls to fight them off, and at the same time protected Seele, Rosalia, and Lilia."
"That's right! Neither Rosalia nor Lilia were injured!"
Rosalia waved her arms cheerfully, completely unaffected by the "Great Collapse".
In her mind, no matter what happens, as long as she can avoid going to school, it's a "good thing".
Therefore, Rosalia was actually the most excited girl when Honkai Beasts were rampaging.
Lilia reached out and tapped Rosalia on the head, scolding, "Idiot Rosalia, this is not a good thing, don't be so happy!"
"Huh!? But... we don't have to go to class anymore, isn't that a good thing?"
"..."
Lilia fell silent, seemingly unsure how to refute Rosalia.
Then, Xing, dressed in a magical long dress that resembled a princess's gown, gracefully walked to Qiu Bi's side.
"Dad, are you hurt?"
"Of course I'm fine, but you are..."
Qiu Bi released Xi'er and then pulled Xing in front of him. "Xing, you're not hurt, are you?"
“Dad, don’t worry about Xing. Xing is very strong—although she can’t compare to her sisters, she’s more than capable of dealing with these monsters.”
Perhaps due to the teachings of Celine and her mothers, or perhaps due to her different upbringing compared to the original work, Anne's personality has undergone a significant change. She is no longer the mischievous, arrogant, and attention-seeking character from the original work, but rather more like a proper "young lady," gentle and dignified.
However, when facing enemies, Anzu reveals the cruelty hidden in her heart, with a cold smile always on her lips, which can easily make people feel chills.
Just as Celine reserved her kindness for those close to her, Anne was the same, only showing kindness to family and friends.
"That's good. Xing, you don't need to be strong about these things. After all, you still have your older sisters to rely on."
“Dad, Xing knows this, of course, so she won’t be stubborn.”
Xing smiled sweetly and then pressed her cheek against Qiu Bi's, seemingly wanting to act coquettishly but also feeling a little uncomfortable.
Qiu Bi hugged Xing tightly, then asked, "Xing, do you want to go home together?"
Is Sister Xilin home?
"No, Sirin needs to command the magical girls, so she can't go home for the time being."
Qiu Bi released Xing and then rubbed Xing's cheeks. "You don't need to worry about Sirin. After we take you home, Cecilia and I will go help clean up the Honkai Beasts."
“Well…” Xing hesitated for a moment, then continued, “Xing will go home with Dad. She can help protect her sisters on the way home.”
"Ah."
Qiu Bi responded lightly, then stood up, holding Seele's hand with his left hand while keeping his right hand idle, ready to kill any Honkai Beasts that attacked them.
Xing led Rosalia and Lilia by the hand, walking behind Qiu Bi and Xi Er.
As the group of five was leaving the junior high school, they happened to run into Galina, who had arrived late.
"Dad, it's been so long!"
Galina threw herself into Qiu Bi's arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
After more than a decade of learning and getting along, Galina's introverted personality has greatly improved. Even if she can't be "outgoing," she is no longer "socially anxious."
