A New Character [Honkai Impact 3 X OC]

Chapter 62

--- Behind the Scenes ---

Author: ...Huh?

Narrator: What's wrong?

Author: ...no. It's nothing. I just had a weird feeling

Narrator: Oh? Mind telling me about it?

Author: I'd pass. It's nothing important. Anyway... I have a pretty good news

Narrator: Hm? What is it?

Author: From now on, expect a new chapter for every 3 days

Narrator: Ooh? Finally, a fixed schedule?

Author: Well, as long as I can keep it up, yes. There will be a fixed schedule

Narrator: Nice... Hm? But why suddenly?

Author: Well... Let's just say I got some "talk" with myself

Narrator: Wha? That... doesn't make any sense?

Author: Eeh, you don't have to understand it. Anyway! Onto the chapter!

--- Start of Chapter ---

[Hyperion, Infirmary, Ray's POV]

Ray: "I'm back, Mei."

Mei: "...Welcome back, Ray."

Through the gaps between her fingers, I could hear her shaky voice. But even so, there was still a hint of happiness from her tone. As such, I smiled upon hearing her voice once again.

Ray: "It's been a while, huh?"

Mei: "...yes."

She did a small and slow nod as she answered my question.

Ray: "..."

Mei: "..."

And when I didn't say anything, she also kept her silence. Realizing that this wouldn't go anywhere without me saying something, I sighed and striked a conversation.

Ray: "Mei."

Mei: "..."

Ray: "Let's talk."

I tried to say it in the softest way possible for her due to the instability I could feel from her based on the emotions behind her gaze.

Mei: "...Mn."

Slowly, she walked toward me and stopped right before me, before sitting down on the chair that Leila had sat on before she mysteriously disappeared...

She instantly teleported, didn't she?

Anyway, after Mei sat down in front of me, I could finally take a closer look at her and noticed a few things.

The edges of her hair were a bit messy.

The area surrounding her eyes was puffy.

And the glowing pupils she had right now...

Ray: "Mei..."

Mei: "..."

I called her name with a complicated expression. In response, she twitched but kept silent after that.

Ray: "Can you give me... your hand?"

Slowly lifting my hand toward her, I asked her.

For a moment, she didn't say anything nor do anything. But then, she finally did a small nod and lifted her hand before I grabbed it with my own.
