Although the initial fainting spell was scary, fortunately, Mei’s body was actually fine.
Discharge was handled very quickly.
Looking out from the entrance, the heavy rain outside hadn’t stopped at all.
Looking at Mei beside her, Nana realized that Mei’s clothes had long been soaked through.
Since there were no other clothes available, she took off her own jacket and draped it over Mei.
To prevent her from catching a cold.
Nana, whose brain finally started working, realized that Mei currently had no ID card, no place to stay, and no money.
She suddenly had an idea…
Heh heh heh heh.
“Um…
Mei, since you don’t have a place to stay right now, why don’t you…
come home with me first?” “I live alone, and there are several empty rooms in the house.
Living alone for so long feels a bit lonely; having a roommate should be quite nice.” Mei didn’t expect Nana to invite her home without hesitation.
After a flash of surprise, she returned a sweet smile.
“Sure~ Then thank you, Nana~” And so, the two girls shared a single umbrella.
Nana carried the food she bought, while Mei stayed close by her side, thoughtfully holding the umbrella.
One white and one purple; a lonely little cat had picked up a big cat from nowhere, heading back home through the rain.

…
“Finally home!
I hate going out on rainy days; everything gets so soggy.” Having been led into the house, Mei was looking around the environment.
From the outside, it was a detached multi-story western-style house.
It was quite different from the Gothic style of Saint Freya.
[Looked it up on Baidu…
not sure if it’s right.] But inside, the decor felt very cozy, just like when she lived in the Saint Freya dorms with everyone.
However, most of the traces here were of only one person, unlike the dorms which were adorned with everyone’s belongings.
Compared to that, these were two similar yet distinct styles.
Diligent little Nana, considering that an empty stomach isn’t good for the body…
While Mei was still observing the house, she took two bowls of…
instant noodles out of the bag and started soaking them…?
After careful (absolutely no) consideration (idea how to cook).
In just a few minutes, she could eat piping hot noodles.
That’s the beauty of instant noodles!
Nana lamented in her heart.
After placing the noodles on the dining table, she eagerly called Mei over to have a bite first.
“Mei!
Eat something!
It’s not good to be hungry!” Mei couldn’t help but smile as she saw Nana with her hands on her hips, putting on a serious “it’s for your own good” act.
“Quite the personality…
I’m coming!” After warming their stomachs near nine o’clock…
Seeing the right moment at the table, both had questions they wanted to ask each other, so…
“Mei!” “Nana.” “Eh?” x2 “You first?” x2 “How about I go first?” x2 “…” Their strange synchronicity made them wonder if they would sync up again on the next sentence, so they simply communicated through facial expressions to see who should ask first.
Nana looked at Mei with an inquiring gaze.
Mei paused, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
She gave the right to ask first to Nana, while also wanting to know what Nana wanted to ask her.
Seeing Mei agree, Nana also thought about what she should ask first and how to answer what Mei might ask later, to keep this interrogation concise.
“Then I’ll ask, okay?” Mei nodded.
“Um…
Mei, in your memories, what time should it be over there?
I see you still look like the Herrscher of Thunder.” A good question, causing Mei’s pupils to dilate.
That’s right.
In her memory, she, Kiana, and Bronya had clearly transcended Finality, and Kiana had sealed all the Honkai Energy on the moon.
Her Herrscher of Thunder authority should have been returned, right?
In the years following, she had even become an instructor training newcomers under Overseer Theresa’s orders.
What happened to her?
“Nana, do you have a mirror?
I want to confirm something…” “Wait a second, I’ll go get one.” A dozen seconds later, Nana pulled out a small vanity mirror from her room and handed it to Mei.
She didn’t know what Mei wanted the mirror for.
“…” When she saw the face in the mirror, Mei confirmed that her body seemed to have reverted to the time when she was the Herrscher of Thunder?
But how is that possible?
In her memory, it was already a long, long time later; she was almost reaching Teacher Himeko’s age.
But now, she’s returned to her youth?
“Nana, in my memory, the Honkai has ended, but currently, it seems my body has reverted to how it was before.” Although she didn’t know why Nana asked, she answered truthfully.
“Ended?
Does that mean Kiana is on the moon, and you’re already training newcomers?” “Yes…” “Oh…
before A Post-Honkai Odyssey then…
then it doesn’t have much reference value.
I thought you were the rooftop domestic vio…
cough cough, nothing.” Nana realized she had misspoken and was now sweating profusely out of guilt.
“Pfft~” “I don’t mind, you don’t have to be like that.” Having her thoughts exposed, Nana gave a sheepish laugh and then asked the first question.
“Mei…
I want to know, will this world also experience Honkai?
Does this world have Honkai Energy too…?” Her face was full of worry; she truly didn’t want this peaceful world to become a playground for Honkai Beasts and Death Soldiers.
“Probably not.
I’ve felt it; there’s almost no Honkai Energy in the air.
However, there is a very small amount of Imaginary Energy.
Don’t worry, Nana.
After all, I was once the Herrscher of Origin.” Receiving a positive answer, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the weight on her heart was lifted.
Thinking for a moment, she realized she didn’t have any more questions to ask, since the subsequent questions would become part of answering Mei’s own questions.
“It’s my turn, right?” Mei asked, looking at Nana.
“Mm-hmm!” She nodded obediently.
“The first question.
Nana, you…” Is Mei going to ask why I’m so familiar with them?
How should I answer?
Or should I just take Mei to see MiHoYo?
“How do you look almost exactly like Kiana?” “?
You’re asking about that?” (?△?) She thought it would be something else!
Mei was clearly more curious about Nana herself and how she managed to look almost identical to Kiana.
Her eyes directly saw through the physical data, from whether there was Honkai Energy and a Core, down to the three measurements—cough cough cough, went a bit too far there.
“This…
it’s probably natural…
right?
I’ve had white hair and blue eyes since I can remember.
Although, I am quite satisfied with my looks, heh heh…” Mei: Interesting~ “Then, the second question.
In this world, is there another Mei?” “What?” Nana was stunned.
After thinking for a long time, you ask me if there’s another Mei in this world?
Recalling her memories since she was young, it seemed that once she saw MiHoYo existed, she subconsciously assumed this was just a normal modern world.
She also thought she just looked special, but ever since Mei arrived and mentioned the existence of Imaginary Energy, things seemed off…
That’s right.
If I exist in this world, could there be counterparts like me with different names?
Dammit…
she shouldn’t have spent every day playing games and watching game videos; she should have browsed other videos to pay attention to world news…
“I’m not quite sure.
Maybe?
Or maybe not.
I don’t know.” Seeing Nana’s frustrated expression, it seemed she wasn’t lying.
In that case, she would look into it in the future to confirm whether she had traveled to a bubble universe or a truly special world.
“Then…
the third question.
Nana, you’ve seemed very surprised since you first saw me.
Did you not believe I was a living person?
And you seem to know a lot about us?” “Uh…
that…
I really don’t know how to explain.
How about…
Mei, come to my room for a moment?
I’ll show you something and then you’ll understand…” Seeing Nana’s hesitant manner, Mei frowned.
She felt that what she was about to see might be very shocking and might touch upon some truths she wasn’t supposed to know.
