Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

November 16, 2013

A day that was deeply etched into Raiden Mei's memory.

If it were possible, she wished time would have stopped the day before and never moved forward.

But the meaning of "reality" is "authority that life cannot touch."

On November 16, 2013, ME Corporation was exposed for a case of suspected economic fraud. Her father, Raiden Ryoma, was removed from his position as president and faced imprisonment for allegedly forging financial documents.

Tragic, very tragic.

Her heart was like the snow that was falling now.

Raiden Mei didn't notice the layer of snow that had fallen on the school bench, and she sat down directly in a daze.

"Hey, look, Sprite!"

Noldrei pointed at Raiden Mei not far away and said with a smile.

Have you been learning too fast on the internet?

Kiana felt that she shouldn't have let him learn about the "primitive modern civilization" on the internet. A perfectly fine future human was quickly turning his language abstract and frightening in his studies.

Don't learn such low-brow, ghost-like meme creation methods so well!

She originally thought that Noldrei would need more time to learn on the internet, but she didn't expect this guy to quickly become proficient in the great art of creating an abstract online persona.

However...

Kiana was actually a bit strange.

Even now, without borrowing the "crystal" from her own body, she could clearly feel the Honkai energy coming from the girl in front of her.

"Didn't you say that people with Honkai energy are prone to getting sick? How come she hasn't died yet? I was about to wait to go to the morgue with you."

Just as how a stand user can attract other stand users, Noldrei saw at a glance that the girl named Raiden Mei also had a gem inside her.

"Women have a slightly higher resistance to Honkai energy. Haven't you seen her specific information? The eldest daughter of the president of ME Corporation. Such a wealthy family will definitely have the best medical conditions, so they have more resources to resist the Honkai."

Kiana had been wandering for so long, she wasn't a naive girl anymore. She knew that people were different.

Even if this eldest daughter of the Raiden family had a father who was jailed for corruption, she would still have plenty of money to spend.

As for her, the wandering white-haired girl, even with her dad by her side, they still lived in a broken wooden house where she had to treat him.

The living conditions with her dad were probably not even as good as the living conditions of those whose dads had sewing machine jobs.

"Just like what I did to you, now she is being ostracized by the class and can only stay alone in the corner. Take advantage of this chance to snatch the Honkai gem on her body. This time I can see very clearly, she has a complete stone in her body."

Noldrei quickly arranged a task for Kiana.

The facts proved that she did do a good job in some areas.

"Huh? Are you...?"

Raiden Mei, who was lowering her head in emo mode, looked up at the shadow that was blocking her.

Raiden Mei thought that someone else was coming to bully her again, but the situation didn't seem to be what she thought it would be.

Is this girl wearing such light clothing in this cold weather?

Thanks to the super strength of her new body, Kiana had the opportunity to dress lightly in winter. Just by standing here, she had completed her task.

"Well, how do I say this..."

Kiana thought for a long time but didn't know how to introduce herself. She really didn't know this girl either.

The whole process was just following Noldrei's perception of Honkai energy.

It could be said that Raiden Mei's current situation was completely because she was targeted by a "future human."

Thinking of this, Kiana suddenly developed a sense of empathy.

"Raiden Mei... wait, don't be afraid..."

Raiden Mei looked at the white-haired girl in confusion, not knowing why she was looking for her.

Mei opened her mouth, slightly gloomy, "If there's nothing else, then I'll..."

Bang—!

Before she could finish her words, Raiden Mei was knocked unconscious by Noldrei from behind with a heavy blow.

"...it hurts...?"

Kiana finally said what she wanted to say a second before Mei fainted.

"Your movements are a bit too swift, aren't they?!"

Noldrei ignored Kiana's horrified retort. He reached into the purple-haired beauty's body and rummaged around, pulling out what he wanted to find.

"Found it, it's this stone."

The purple gem emitted a dazzling light in his hand. This was the important moment for it to show its existence.

"It looks better than the stone in your body... look at the energy fluctuations."

Noldrei thought for a moment, then took out the Kiana-labeled stone shards he was carrying with him.

The two energy gems emitted strong Honkai energy fluctuations as they got closer. At this moment, the other shattered stone also restored its past glory under the influence of the mutual Honkai energy.

They were mutually affecting and repairing each other, and exhibited an energy performance of 1+1 > 2.

Noldrei was now completely certain that history had definitely deviated at some point.

01 and 02 had been shattered in the previous space-time crossings. When he, 03, restarted the experiment, it was from 120,000 years to 130,000 years ago.

The energy level of these two stones was definitely enough to cause a huge bloodbath in this era, but these events had not been mentioned in history at all.

It's possible that I have failed to change history and went down a wrong path.

Kiana naturally didn't know what Noldrei was thinking. She only knew that this person was holding two Honkai gems that looked very scary.

"Let's go find the next gem."

Noldrei wouldn't allow such powerful things to exist in history, he wanted to control history and make it go the way the future people needed it to go.

"You... You..."

Kiana lowered her head to look at Raiden Mei, who had fainted on the chair, and then looked at Noldrei, who was preparing to leave.

She knew that she had no power to speak in front of this future human.

Her combat strength at the genetic level had already completely lost to this "eldritch horror."

"Are we just going to leave her here? What if she catches a cold from the cold? Look, she's only wearing a pair of bare-leg artifact leggings in this cold weather."

Kiana tried her best to explain, and she also suddenly had an idea.

Although she didn't know why her mind had suddenly become so bright, she did indeed have such an idea.

"Don't you also want to know why she has this stone in her body? Let's take her with us and ask her."

Noldrei looked at her in surprise, not understanding what this matriarchal primitive wanted to do.

If they left her here, there would definitely be teachers coming to look for her. Noldrei knew this, so he wasn't worried about her life. It was already a sign of his respect for human rights of this era that he would even consider their lives.

"Why are you making kidnapping sound so refreshing and refined?"

"I'm not! You bastard! I just..." Kiana was exasperated. How did she become the bad guy in his mouth?

Is there anything worse than a future human who performs human body modification upon meeting you?

Unfortunately, Kiana didn't know her own situation.
