Chapter 66 (volume 3)

Inside Yae Village in Ryusuke's stigma space.

There was a 12 year old little girl sitting at the top of the long staircase of the Yae Shrine. This little girl had a calm expression as she observed the entire place with a curious eye.

As the Yae Shrine was at the highest place, she was able to see the entire region, which included...

The Bamboo Forest.

A bamboo forest across the Shiomi River. It is east of Yae Village. The end of the forest has a Torii gate that leads to the Yae Shrine.

The Shiomi River.

A river northeast of Yae Village. Villagers depended on the river for water and to irrigate their fields. You can catch a lot of fish there.

And Yae Village, which is a small village in the far east that used to exist around the 15th century.

"What a nice place." She spoke as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the tranquility of the place.

For her, who is very afraid of humans, this place where no one is around is very pleasant.

"What's up, Galina-chan? Do you like it here?"

The girl then heard a voice coming from behind her and she looked in the direction of the voice.

There she saw Ryusuke with his arms crossed and a friendly smile on his face.

"Um... Yes... This is a nice place." Galina spoke shyly like a scared kitten.

"Glad you like." Ryusuke spoke, he was happily relieved that at least her mood improved a little.

Why was Galina inside Ryusuke's stigma space? Wasn't she inside the Serenity Gem?

The answer is quite simple. It's because he dragged Galina here.

He did this because he thought it would be very bad for her mental health if she remained in that place which took the form of a very traumatic place for her, as the mental space inside the Serenity Gem took the form of the prison of the Tower of Babylon. .

Ryusuke didn't think it would be good for this little girl to stay in such a dark and depressing place so he simply brought her to Yae Village.

As Ryusuke expected that she would not agree to go with him easily he simply pulled her consciousness and moved her to her stigma space as she had no power or influence in the mental world of the Serenity Gem. Of course she was a little scared and suspicious of Ryusuke when this happened, but he doesn't expect to gain her trust on the first day they met, he will be patient so that the two can coexist peacefully.

"Galina-chan, know that you're not alone here, Morgan will always be here or in the library so you can talk to her, if you want to talk to me just call and I'll listen to you right outside."

"And there is also one more tenant around here; she may look pretty scary, but she is actually a Hikikomori tsundere, so if you pay close attention, you will realize that you don't need to be so scared around her." Ryusuke spoke in a playful tone at the last part to relax the little girl.

"OK?" She still couldn't understand the meaning of Ryusuke's jokes but she agreed.

And so for the next few minutes the two talked, to be more precise, it was more Ryusuke talking and Galina listening from a small distance without approaching Ryusuke.

"Hey, are you serious? Did he really bring her on our first date?" Ryusuke muttered a little surprised when he felt a certain kind of presence outside. Even though he had never met her in person he was still very familiar with the Honkai energy of a Herrscher Gem.

"Did something happen?" Galina asked and tilted her head with curiosity and confusion on her face upon seeing Ryusuke's reaction and words.

"Don't worry Galina-chan, I actually have to go outside to sort out some matters. Then we can talk a little more." Ryusuke had to say goodbye to her.

"OK." Galina just nodded with a calm face.

Although she was no longer as afraid of him as she was when they first met, she still prefers to be alone.

********

When Ryusuke opened his eyes he found himself in the restaurant. Looking a little further he saw three people approaching his table.

In one of them, it was James who was at the front guiding the other two guests to his table.

As for the other two people...

"Ryusuke-kun, it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person. How are you?" Raiden Ryouma greeted him with a calm and polite smile.

"Yes Ryouma-san, I say the same to you." Ryusuke greeted in kind.

"By the way... Who could she be?" Ryusuke asked an obvious question with a friendly smile to the little girl next to Ryouma.

There among them was a little girl who looked to be about the same age as Ryusuke, although he knows she is a year older than him.

She has long dark purple hair and indigo eyes, just like Ryusuke she was also wearing a school uniform indicating that she also just left her school. She also wore a purple hair bow with white polka dots behind her hair.

She looked at Ryusuke with a little curiosity because she was surprised by the way her father treated him. She rarely goes out with her somewhere and when she goes out she sees that all the other people take the initiative to try to get closer to her father and they always start the conversation, and her father always keeps a neutral expression when he goes to answer her. them.

But this time it was her father who started the conversation and it was a very friendly tone. This makes her have a little doubt about who this boy who looked her age was.

"Mei, how about you introduce yourself to Ryusuke?" Ryouma suggested.

"Clear."

"I'm Raiden Mei, it's a pleasure to meet you." Raiden Mei introduced himself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too Raiden-san. I'm Aikawa Ryusuke. I hope we can get along well from now on." Ryusuke spoke with a polite and friendly smile.

'interesting. So this is Raiden Mei in person during his childhood.'

Ryusuke thought a little excited when meeting one of the three protagonists of the Honkai Impact game.

(Author's note: I'm sorry guys, the chapters are taking a long time to write due to lack of motivation. I'm not going to give up but don't expect regular chapters.

I finished Fontaine's story and I thought it was incredible, Genshin is showing that his story is getting better and better. Unfortunately I didn't get Furina, the only people who came to me were Charlotte and Qiqi who arrived at C3. At least Charlotte looks like a good support so I'll build her.

But look at the Honkai Star Rail I did well at least. I didn't shoot for Huohuo because I have Luocha. In Jingliu's banner that passed a while ago, I got her light cone an hour before her banner ended. At least good news, right?

Oh, and I also got Luna and her weapon in Honkai Impact.

Guys now I'm going to be busy with Fate and Honkai for now but when I have new chapters I'll post them for you.

And one more thing gu

ys. What do you think of the image I made of Princess Yae Rin? I feel like I've outdone myself this time.
