Chapter 52: Mei Returns
At this moment, it was as if a certain burden had been lifted off her shoulders, and she fell into a deep sleep again...
"Oh? How come you are here again in less than a day?" In the villa called Golden Courtyard, the pink fairy lady was sleeping soundly, just like the legendary Sleeping Beauty.
Feeling that something had come into this world, her spirit suddenly woke up.
She rubbed her eyes and said, "But the distance is a little far this time."
Closing her eyes, Elysia sensed there: "Is the place where she appeared the same as the place where she left last time?"
"Mei, you are really a persistent person." Elysia sat up from the bed in distress. "Although I can give you some advice on love, in the face of this situation... even Miss Pink Elf will be helpless."
Elysia is just someone with life experience—
A single person with a lot of theoretical dating experience, but zero practical experience...
Unable to find a way out of the impasse, Elysia decided to start and once again lay listlessly on the bed.
A huge amount? Almost imperceptible power is running in Elysia's hands.
How weak is this Honkai energy? It is even thinner than the Honkai energy in the air on the other Earth right now.
Even if it's a Herrscher, you have to get very close to sense it.
But even so, it took a lot of effort for Elysia to mobilize the small and thin Honkai energy.
she was sweating all over, and even the clothes she was wearing were soaked with sweat.
"Ha...ah, Mei, I can only help you up to this point..." Finally, at some point, as if she had lost all her strength, Elysia said while gasping heavily on the bed.
"If it wasn't for that Kiana who spent more than a year and persevered in digging a hole there, I wouldn't be able to use even such a thin amount of Honkai energy, right?"
"But this is already the limit. This world's suppression of Honkai is too harsh."
Even though Elysia is a Herrscher, even though the connection between Elysia and Mei is too close…
This thin Honkai energy still lost more than 70% during the transmission process. The Honkai energy that was gathered with great difficulty was now even thinner than the water molecules in the desert air.
On the other side, Mei, who had just closed her eyes, came to this familiar scene again.
"Where is this? Is this the snack street where Elysia took me to eat?" Mei, who had just arrived in this world, covered her head with her hands. All of a sudden, the memories in this world revived like a tide.
"I see, when I leave this world, my memories of it will become hazy." Mei looked around and found that the time in this world seemed to be late at night.
The once bustling snack street has now closed down, but the lights in a few breakfast shops are on and they are busy.
"Although I'm back, where should I start looking for the captain?" Mei's beautiful purple eyes were full of confusion.
At this moment, a small, blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of Mei. It looked like a doll flying in the air, but the overall image was vague and seemed to disappear at any time.
"Is this Elysia?" The small thing flying in the air in front of her looked like the scene of snowflakes flying when the signal was missing on an old TV.
However, Mei still recognized who the little figure flying in the air was based on her sense of familiarity.
In mid-air, the little Elysia whose form was about to disappear, her short arms and legs, whose outline could only be vaguely seen, was gesturing in the air anxiously.
"Do you want me to go in that direction?" Mei asked tentatively.
The little Elysia, who was about to disappear in the air, nodded heavily.
Realizing that time was running out, Mei didn't hesitate and took a step with her long legs, running in the direction pointed out by little Elysia.
Mei thought it would be a long process, but it only took about a minute to run. The distance from where she left and reappeared was only a junction away.
The little Elysia, who was about to disappear, stopped and pointed to a small two-story house.
"Here?" Mei glanced at the two-story building in front of her, with the help of the dim light.
It was a building that was white in color and looked very ordinary and warm. There was a sign hanging at the junction of the first and second floors.
"Valkyrie Dessert Shop?" Mei turned around and asked in confusion, "Is this where Elysia's clue about the captain is?"
Unexpectedly, when Mei turned around, she saw the already blurry little Elysia disappear into the air.
Mei tried to catch the pink light that disappeared into the air, but as expected, she caught nothing.
At the same time, the trace amount of almost undetectable Honkai energy in the air was also quickly annihilated and disappeared...
"This world seems to be particularly repulsive to things like Honkai" Mei thought seriously, "Is this also the reason why I am repulsed by this world?"
Walking to the dimly lit door of the dessert shop on the first floor, Mei looked at the sign in front of her with the help of the faint light from the street lamp next to it.
"Valkyrie? Valkyrie, right? Who would give a dessert shop a name that sounds so murderous?" Mei said, not understanding.
However, the name of this famous Valkyrie in Norse mythology, as well as the guidance of little Elysia, made Mei certain that this store was indeed unusual.
She took a deep breath and touched the wooden door at the entrance of the store.
"The door is not locked?" Mei pushed the door open easily. The doorbell hanging on the door, which had a rather simple and antique texture, made a very crisp and pleasant jingle sound because of the action of pushing the door open.
The furnishings in the shop were very simple. As soon as you entered the door, you could see neatly arranged and very clean chairs.
At the other end of the line of sight, there was a bar counter and a familiar-looking figure in a chef's white coat was standing by. Above the bar counter, there was a dim light, and he was busy.
Looking at that familiar figure, Mei's heart began to beat violently. And that voice seemed to have heard the doorbell and turned around to check the situation.
And when she turned around and saw that face, Mei's heart almost stopped.
A word that was once very familiar to her was almost subconsciously shouted out from Mei's trembling mouth: "Captain... Captain!!"
