Because Raiden Movie is Raiden Mei's "second personality," and only Raiden Mei can see it, Raiden Movie's style of doing things is quite bold.
Ever since Raiden Mei sat down on the guest sofa, she has snuggled into Qiu Bi's arms.
Although he couldn't get in touch with Qiu Bi, Lei still thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
Raiden Mei nodded imperceptibly, as a response to Raiden's movie.
Then, Lei continued, "Mei, do you need me to teach you what to do next? If you really don't know what to do, you can ask... that girl named 'Bella,' I remember she successfully did 'defeat the superior.'"
Raiden Mei blushed, neither accepting Raiden's suggestion nor refuting his words.
—The desires and feelings in one's heart cannot be denied.
Lei Yingdian sat in Qiu Bi's lap, while leaning on the table, staring intently at Raiden Mei.
"Mei, you'd better hurry up, so I can use your body to have an 'in-depth conversation' with Brother Qiu Bi."
Raiden Mei still didn't reply, but her cheeks had become even redder, and she didn't even dare to look up at Qiu Bi, as if she was afraid that Qiu Bi would discover her little thoughts.
Not long after, Qiu Bi finished organizing his work for the day, shut down his computer, and lazily stretched.
Seeing this, Lei Yingdian quickly reached out and wrapped his arms around Qiu Bi's neck, hanging himself on Qiu Bi's body.
"Mei, my work is finished."
"Ah! Um... Dr. Qiu, shall we go home now?"
"That's right, let's go."
Qiu Bi got up and walked towards Raiden Mei, then reached out and pulled Raiden Mei up from the guest sofa.
Immediately, Raiden Mei took Qiu Bi's arm and pulled him into her broad chest.
Qiu Bi tentatively tried to pull his arm away, but after realizing that Raiden Mei was holding him very tightly, he gave up the idea of pulling his arm away.
First, forcibly pulling out her arm could injure Raiden Mei; second, Qiu Bi mistakenly believed that Raiden Mei's actions were due to fear and sadness, and therefore abandoned the idea of pulling out her arm.
Raiden Mei hugged Qiu Bi's arm tightly, her delicate face seemingly filled with "joy" and "satisfaction," and she looked quite cheerful.
Qiu Bi was very well-known in the hospital, and people would greet him from time to time, whether they were nurses or patients.
"Dr. Qiu is very popular."
Raiden Mei pursed her lips, revealing the attitudes of both the nurses and the patients.
"Perhaps it's because my medical skills are better?"
Qiu Bi answered casually, then said, "Ya, it's still raining outside. Your shoes and socks will probably get soaked again soon."
"It's okay, I'll be back at Dr. Qiu's house soon, and besides... Dr. Qiu will protect me."
Raiden Mei chuckled softly, her brows showing no sign of worry or unease.
Qiu Bi did not reply, but silently left the hospital with Raiden Mei.
As Qiu Bi was about to leave the hospital, a patient tried to give him an umbrella, but Qiu Bi refused it firmly.
The main reason is that Qiu Bi doesn't need to use an umbrella; the power of the Wind Herald is enough to keep him dry and prevent him from getting wet.
However, shoes, socks, and pants were not so lucky.
—The torrential rain laid a thick "carpet of rain" on the ground.
If Qiu Bi is unwilling to fly through the air with Raiden Mei, it will inevitably result in his shoes, socks, and pants getting soaked by the rainwater that has accumulated on the ground.
Chapter 128 Moving Plans
The torrential rain poured down, splashing up a lot of water on the "rain carpet".
A barely perceptible breeze surrounded Qiu Bi and Raiden Mei, faithfully and precisely intercepting all raindrops to prevent their clothes from getting wet.
Raiden Mei linked arms with Qiu Bi, her brows beaming with satisfaction.
Qiu Bi looked up at the sky; dark clouds covered the sky and the rain was pouring down, clearly indicating that the rain would not stop anytime soon.
"Dr. Qiu, what are you looking at?"
"It's nothing, let's hurry home."
Qiu Bi shook his head and didn't say anything more.
Raiden Mei nodded silently, then followed Qiu Bi's steps toward Qiu Bi's apartment.
Because magical girls were busy running around, Academy City, although it looked rather miserable, actually didn't suffer much damage.
Once the torrential rains subside, Academy City should be able to return to normal operation soon.
—The prerequisite is to completely solve the "rain carpet" problem.
Heavy rain is often followed by a major epidemic, at which time hospitals will be extremely busy again.
Thinking of this, Qiu Bi couldn't help but sigh softly, but was then questioned by Raiden Mei.
"Dr. Qiu, what's on your mind? You look troubled."
"Heavy rains are often followed by major epidemics, and things will get very busy then."
"Um……"
Raiden Mei hesitated for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Dr. Qiu, I can bring you food later!"
“Cecilia, Sofia, Alexandra, and Bella will prepare my meals.”
"Dr. Qiu, over the years I have not only studied diligently, but I have also mastered many housekeeping skills. You could say I am an expert in housework."
Raiden Mei smiled playfully, then said in a tone that was both coquettish and pleading, "Dr. Qiu, let me bring you your food. Cecilia and the others still need to take care of the children, so they might not have time to bring you food."
"Well... okay then."
Qiu Bi couldn't refuse Raiden Mei's request, so he had no choice but to agree.
Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei excitedly pumped her fist, then took Qiu Bi's arm again, a joyful smile always on her lips.
……
A dozen minutes later, Qiu Bi and Raiden Mei returned to the apartment at a leisurely pace.
Cecilia, Sofia, Alexandra, and Bella learned about Raiden Mei from Sirin beforehand and were already preparing for Raiden Mei's move-in.
When Qiu Bi and Raiden Mei arrived at the apartment, the four women took bath towels and prepared to wipe their wet bodies.
However, the four women soon discovered that Qiu Bi and Raiden Mei were only soaked in the legs, while the rest of their bodies were only slightly damp and not wet.
"Huh? Has the rain stopped outside?"
Sophia stared blankly at Qiu Bi and Raiden Mei, then subconsciously looked towards the window in the stairwell, only to see the seemingly tireless downpour.
"I used the power of the Herrscher of Wind to blow away the raindrops, so I didn't get wet."
Qiu Bi gave a concise explanation, then took Sophia's delicate hand and gently stroked her smooth, fine skin.
"Where are the children? Are they playing or resting?"
Bronya is tutoring Rosalia, while Lilia and Seele are watching TV under the guidance of Kiana and Bianca.
Where's Xing?
“Xing followed Sirin to the magical girl army’s base. That girl really likes to stick to Sirin. You should know that.”
"Ah."
Qiu Bi nodded, then took Raiden Mei back to his apartment.
Cecilia, Sofia, Alexandra, and Bella followed closely behind the two, filing into the apartment.
"Qiu Bi, how's the situation in Academy City?"
"Didn't Celine tell you?"
Qiu Bi took off his coat and looked at Cecilia with a puzzled expression.
Cecilia shook her head slightly and replied, "No, Sirin rushed home just now, told us about Mei, and then went into her room to tidy up."
"That's it..."
Qiu Bi breathed a sigh of relief and, while urging Raiden Mei to take a hot bath, told the four girls about the situation in Academy City.
Upon hearing about the current state of Academy City, the four girls sighed in unison.
"A rainstorm of this magnitude is a once-in-a-century event, unless..."
Cecilia paused for a moment, then offered her guess: "The 'Great Collapse' phenomenon caused by the Herrscher."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi glanced discreetly at the closed bathroom door, then lowered his voice and replied, "It shouldn't be the 'Great Collapse' phenomenon caused by the arrival of the Herrscher."
The third Herrscher, "Herrscher of Thunder," is actually Raiden Mei. However, Raiden Mei has not yet become a true Herrscher. Moreover, Academy City was only hit by a rainstorm, and there was no high-energy Honkai energy reaction. Therefore, it is unlikely that a Herrscher has descended.
If a high-energy Honkai energy reaction were to occur in Academy City, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy would immediately become aware of it, thus initiating a series of plans and actions.
“Indeed… right now there is only this torrential rain, and there is no trace of any assassins or Honkai beasts. It should not be the ‘Great Honkai’ phenomenon caused by the descent of the Herrscher.”
Bella readily agreed.
Having lived in Academy City for fourteen years, no one wanted to move away from Academy City because of the "Great Collapse" phenomenon, unless it was for the children's schooling issues.
Cecilia seemed to have thought of something and suddenly suggested, "Qiu Bi, why don't we send the children to 'St. Freya Academy' from now on?"
"I remember that was the Valkyrie Academy run by Theresa, right?"
"Well, Kiana and Bianca aren't really suited to continuing their studies at a regular school. Besides, Bronya, Seele, Rosalia, and Lilia are just ordinary girls. If they continue attending regular schools, what if they encounter attacks from assassins or Honkai Beasts in the future..."
Cecilia didn't continue, but the meaning she wanted to convey was self-evident.
Sirin, Aurora, Agatha, Galina, and Bella did not have this worry, after all, these five girls were not only magical girls, but also Herrschers.
In contrast, other girls have this kind of worry to varying degrees.
True.
Cecilia, Sofia, and Alexandra hope the children can grow up safely, but the future still needs to be considered, and at least a way needs to be found to give the children the ability to "protect themselves".
Not to mention, Theresa has recently been inviting Cecilia to serve as the headmistress of "St. Freya Academy".
"Sophia, Alexandra, what's your decision?"
Qiu Bi looked at Sofia and Alexandra.
