The rain outside the window pitter-pattered like a soft whisper, weaving a hazy blanket of tranquility.
Nana rested her chin in her hands, gazing at the beauty sleeping soundly on the hospital bed.
She looked as if she had broken through the barrier of the 2D world into reality, and Nana fell into deep thought for a long while.
“How magical.
Picking up a beautiful girl on the street—can something like this actually happen in real life?” After muttering to herself, she continued to quietly watch Raiden Mei, whose breathing was steady but who had not yet woken up…
Or was it?
Her thoughts drifted back to a few hours ago.
…
JUNE 15, 04:04 PM This was a very interesting date and time, one that filled you with power.
Just moments ago, Nana, who had been manually farming Phainon materials using Acheron, felt her stomach give an unfilial growl.
It was as if she had burned through all her energy, and she slumped onto the floor mat.
“Ugh…
I played for too long.
It feels like I haven’t eaten anything today…” Rubbing her tired eyes, she stood up and left her cozy little nest, heading toward the kitchen to see if there was anything edible left in the house.
Unfortunately, the starving Nana had already forgotten.
As someone who usually stayed cooped up at home and only went out once a week to buy groceries…
She had long since finished all the food stored in the fridge and cabinets.
There was absolutely nothing left.
“…Shoot, I forgot I finished the instant noodles yesterday.
Looks like I have to go out and buy more.” She hadn’t always been a shut-in.
As for the reason…
She looked at her own reflection in the refrigerator door.
White hair, blue eyes, and a face and voice that were similar to Kiana’s?
No, they were practically identical.
[PS: Appearance is the same as the cover] She was basically a real-life Kiana!
What was even worse?
This world had MiHoYo!
Not a single MiHoYo game was missing!
So every time she went out to buy things, she would be chased down for photos by Captains who recognized Kiana, mistaking her for a professional cosplayer with an ultra-accurate costume…
Even though she, as a Kiana fan herself, was very satisfied with her natural Kiana doll-like physique for cosplay…
Even her name was very similar.
Nana, Kiana…
If this world didn’t truly lack Honkai, she would have thought she really was the Kiana of this world…
Nod.jpg But for someone with social anxiety…
the people were just too many and too enthusiastic!
She was scared!
As it happened more often, she reduced her outings, trying her best not to cause trouble.
And now…
Gurgle gurgle…~ Her unfilial stomach reminded her at every moment.
So hungry…~ So hungry…~ If there’s no delicious food, it’s going to throw a tantrum!
“Sigh…
going out…
I hope today…
Eh?
Wait, it’s raining today.
There shouldn’t be anyone coming to ask for photos, so let’s go!” She threw a jacket over her indoor clothes, hiding her conspicuous long white hair inside, put on the hood, threw on a random mask, and changed into sneakers.
Grabbing an umbrella, she headed out to restock her food supplies~ …
At around six o’clock, Nana walked out of the supermarket, looking contentedly at the groceries and snacks in her hands—enough to last about four or five days.
She set the bags down, opened her umbrella, and picked them up again.
Even though both her hands were busy, it wasn’t impossible to hold an umbrella while carrying things!
“Time to go home~” On her usual way home, as she passed an alleyway…
For some reason, her body suddenly gave a violent jolt without cause, her pupils shrunk, and even her ahoge snapped upright!
Her whole body went rigid.
Her legs felt as if they were stuck in a quagmire, unable to move an inch.
Her intuition strongly demanded that she look into the alley.
Just one look!
Just one look!
As if possessed, she looked over.
In summer, the sky at around six o’clock hadn’t completely entered the night yet.
Even on a rainy day, she could clearly see that in the alley…
It looked like someone was lying on the ground?
When she wanted to confirm it, she finally regained control of her body.
With a mix of curiosity and caution, she slowly walked to within two meters of the person.
“Hmm?” At this distance, Nana could finally see the person’s appearance and clothing clearly.
It was actually a girl?
She had long hair that wasn’t black, just like hers, which covered her face, and she wore clothes that were clearly not the kind of daily wear ordinary people would wear.
Hmm…
instead, it looked a bit like some kind of high-end custom cosplay costume made of very good material?
Driven by both confusion and a slight desire to investigate, she walked over with her umbrella and squatted down to take a closer look.
“It might be a bit rude…
but sorry!” She!
She reached out and touched the clothes!
“Hiss, it feels surprisingly comfortable!
Ah, wait!
What am I doing, hey!
In this kind of situation, shouldn’t you usually check what’s wrong with the person!” Realizing she had suddenly spaced out again, she hurriedly brushed the hair aside to check the forehead and breathing.
It wasn’t until she had brushed the hair back and finished checking the temperature and breathing…
That she finally reacted.
The person in front of her looked so much like Raiden Mei!
Her appearance was so similar that, like her, it seemed she was born this way.
“Hiss…
Raiden Mei…?
Is that right?
That can’t be right, can it??” Even though it was a bit of a waste of time…
she wanted to double-check carefully…
“It’s real hair, not a wig…
No way…
How is this possible…?” “No!
Nana, don’t think so much for now!
She’s lying here in the rain with so little on, what if she gets sick?
I have to get her to the hospital quickly!” Oh my god, the airheaded Nana finally realized she needed to take the person to the hospital for a proper check-up.
It seems she wasn’t too stupid after all.
Nana helped the person up, leaning her against the nearby wall, then squatted down to hoist the still-unconscious…
well, let’s call her Mei for now, to hoist “Mei” onto her back.
Her right hand held two large bags of food and an umbrella.
Her left hand supported the unconscious “Mei” on her back.
Running at an unreasonable speed to get the person to the hospital?
Carrying things, holding an umbrella, and running that fast in the rain with a person on her back.
I bet you’re wondering if it’s Kaslana’s superhuman strength?
Unfortunately, Nana didn’t have that kind of thing, so…
She simply wasn’t human!
After running at full speed for about ten minutes, Nana brought the person to the nearest hospital and gave a quick, simple explanation of the situation to the front desk.
The hospital was also efficient, placing the “patient” on a medical gurney for examination.
They also called Nana over to get a detailed understanding of the patient’s condition.
After a series of examinations and treatments…
It was now the current situation.
“Mei” was resting in bed wearing a hospital gown.
Nana’s two bags of food were placed on the bedside table.
As for Nana, she was driven by a mix of curiosity and a sense of responsibility to stay and see when this “Mei” would wake up.
The ward was very quiet, so quiet that only the breathing of the two could be heard, and the sound of the rain outside was like a lullaby sung by a mother.
This caused Nana, who had been watching “Mei’s” condition and was somewhat exhausted after the exercise, to have her eyelids start drooping.
She fought it, she resisted it, she tried her best.
Finally, she still couldn’t withstand the fatigue.
She gradually fell asleep leaning against “Mei’s” bed.
The quiet environment and the faint scent on “Mei’s” body…
Were very conducive to sleep, making Nana sleep very comfortably.
Time passed minute by minute.
Night fell.
On one side, the sleeping Nana had an unfilial bit of drool leaking from the corner of her mouth.
On the other side, “Mei,” whose body was gradually recovering, began to regain consciousness.
She felt as if she had slept for a very, very long time, during which it seemed someone had moved her body?
After opening her eyes, what she saw was a strange ceiling?
She opened her mouth.
Fortunately, her throat wasn’t dry, and she could still make a sound.
It was just that now, like someone who hadn’t spoken for a long time, her speech was a bit intermittent.
“Where…
am…
I…?” She looked around.
Her somewhat muddled brain was also gradually analyzing the current situation.
“Is…
this…
a…
hospital…?” A hospital?
What’s going on?
What happened?
Who brought me here?
After thinking for a while and feeling that she had regained control of her body, she slowly shifted herself up to lean against the headboard.
After looking around once more and confirming that this really was a hospital, she had so many questions…
“Hmm…?” It was then that she noticed a familiar, sleeping white furball lying by her bed!
She blinked, and after repeated confirmation, this seemed to be…
“Kiana?!”
