Chereads / Honkai Impact: Invictus. / Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: The Storm...

Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: The Storm...

2 years have passed. My group of friends have been doing their own thing. Su has been going to the hospital, trying to research more on honkai energy and how to cure it. Mei was actually invited to give a presentation as a speaker about quantum mechanics, we were proud of her and she simply dismissed it, saying that it just takes hard work, true. But 16 year olds don't just do that, even with hard work. As for me, I've also been invited to another convention concerning biology and genetics. I gave a presentation about Crispr (gene editing) for humans so we can be perfect as a human race, physically that is.

(Humans will always be flawed IMO)

I've also been going on dates with Eden, she calls it hanging out though, I chuckle in my thoughts. But she definitely has feelings for me, I'm not as dumb as a brick like Ichika. Even though that bastard pretends to be dense, that's still idiotic as all hell. Either pick one or go all or nothing. Eden is a great girl, I think I'll wait for a bit more. After high school so she can consolidate her career 1st, she's been doing very well. Now she's a total diva and her fans gave her another moniker too, the Angel of strings. Quite the alias if I do say so myself.

When we celebrated her 18th birthday, she got some expensive bottles of wine. Saying that she heard alcohol makes you happy and giddy, I agreed although I told her it's quite different for other people.

Then as we drank and partied in her apartment she was starting to get drunk. She was pouting cutely asking why I'm still fine and dandy even though I'm still underaged. She started being all cuddly singing a happy tune. I just enjoyed her hugging me at my side, patting her head while listening to her cheery singing.

"Eiiiiin, do you think I deserve all this? My reach to stardom, my popularity, having you, a great friend?" She asks as she looks at me in the eye.

"Eden, you know that you've also put a lot of effort to reach what you've achieved right now? I just helped along, your heavenly voice did it all. Of course being an extraordinarily beautiful woman helped as well, but that's not the point. You deserve this, more than anyone I can think of, well maybe except Mei because that girl is honestly terrifying." I teased her to lighten up her mood.

Eden pouted and glared at me.

Eden: "Mou! You're with me! Why are you talking about other girls huh!? Hmph." She then looks away from me and scooted over.

I pat her head and slowly craned her head to me as I look her in the eye.

"Oya? You're quite the little jealous lady aren't you? Have you perhaps fallen in love with me? My fair lady."

She stares at me for a solid minute and then took a deep breath in and out.

"Umu, I'm sure you've noticed it already, you scheming bastard. Being so amazing and making me fall very hard. You even let me say it to you, playing with my feelings with your grubby hands."

"I didn't force you to say anything though? What was it? I didn't quite hear it?" I gave her smug smirk.

Hitting me on my chest like a cute cat while blushing she then says. "Baka, I love you. I want to make more music with you, play and compose while basking in your warmth. Being together with you just brings me so much happiness. I can be myself, away from all the tiring people that just want to mooch on me. You bring the best in me, and when you're near me I can make the best music in the whole world that only you have the privilege to listen to." She states while teary eyed.

"I know. I've been your friend for 2 years now after all, and I saw you rise from the ground up." I gave her a sweet smile and patted her head. "I'm quite the jealous and possessive guy, you won't be getting away from me when I claim you Eden." I wiped her tears with my thumbs.

She scoffed and gripped my clothes

"Ha! Don't you think for a second that I'll let go of you too mister. I'm already in the deep end and I don't think I can live my life without you anymore, only music can come close and it's still a far away 2nd."

Ein: "Haha, but what if I like other ladies though? You do know that I'm insanely popular?"

Eden: She frowned immediately and glared at me "What!? You already want to cheat on me even though we're still not official? You damned bastard! Explain." She said with a stern voice.

"Hahaha, cheat on you? No, but I will attract a lot of beautiful ladies and they just might charm me a bit you know? Of course I'll tell you, and you can screen all of them for your beloved too."

"Hah, I can't believe this guy. Telling me he wants to go for a harem." She says to herself as she sighs again. "Fine, fine, You're too charming and amazing for me too take a reign on after all. You're no regular mill of a person anyway. But! You won't be getting any hussies! I'll make sure of that."

I chuckled at her words. "You know, mom always said that I should be careful of little vixens. And, you've been seducing me with your nice soothing voice and cute cuddling just a moment ago."

Eden smiled at my words "Well, this lady is quite elegant and high class, no? Perfect for a man of your caliber." She purred as she hugged me and buried her face on my neck.

I hugged her as well and I then separated us for a bit and I looked at her golden orbs.

"By the way Eden, I love you too, my sweet little kitty." I gave her a beaming smile. "I love your voice, your smooth and long velvet hair, your cute little face that shines whenever you sing. Your deep golden eyes that suck me in whenever I look at it. And your passionate attitude when we're together compared to your public calm persona makes me feel special. You're very cute and cuddly when drunk too, we should drink when we go on dates." I tease her a bit.

She looks at me with an affectionate gaze, full of love. "You sure know how to cheer up a lady don't you? Damned scheming guy, you really have me at your clutches. Giving me such a passionate and genuine confession of love. I really can't let you go huh?"

I get close to her ear and whispered. "Yeah, you're mine now Eden, and you'll be with me as long as I live." I then stared at her for a bit then kissed her on the lips.

Eden closed her eyes and met my lips with her soft and sweet ones.

"One more." She said and I complied. "Another" Requesting for more. "It just isn't enough I need more of you." She then put her arms behind my neck and kissed me more enthusiastically. I hugged her waist and licked her lips, asking for permission to open.

She slowly opened her lips, then I quickly invaded the inside of her mouth, finding her tongue and caressed it with mine. I then kissed her passionately and slowly, letting her get used to the sensations 1st before going in for the kill. As our lips separated with a thin line of silver as the light shone on our saliva. She gulped a breath of air and stared at me.

"That was, amazing." she said. I chuckled a bit then say "Hm, you haven't seen everything yet." I took a quick mouthful of wine then kissed her again, giving her a drink slowly while savoring her tongue intertwining it with mine, both of us tasting the sweet alcohol.

"Nice way to enjoy some wine no?" I smiled at her.

With a blush on her cheeks, she nodded with glazed eyes, surely in a daze. I then stood up and carried her in a princess carry and walked to her bedroom. We quickly opened the door and I gently put her on her soft bed.

I looked at her lovingly and gave her a soft peck. Unbuttoning her shirt slowly I gave her thighs soft touches, slowly going higher until I reached her fair and plump inner thighs. I kissed her again, a little more aggressively as I dominated her tongue in a battle of passion. Slowly, my hands roamed around her body, my now free hand after unbuttoning her shirt slowly followed the contours of her collar bone, going down until I reach her buxom breasts.

I gave her soft and pillowy breast a gentle squeeze, groping it and moulding it to my desire. She squeaked a bit as her breath starts to get rougher and labored. I then nibbled her ear lobes and blew a breath in her ears as my fingers drew circles on her rock hard pink nipples and soft thighs.

Her beautiful face was in a daze as she was looking at me with half lidded eyes. I then pinched her right nipple and gave the other a gentle lick, earning me a soft sultry moan that exudes desire. I then sucked at it gently and started caressing her pussy over her wet and sticky panties.

"Hmm, this part right here is quite slick Eden? Mind telling me why?" I smirked at her. "Ahn~ Ein! You're playing with my nubile body like it's your toy. Of course I'll release some love juice."

Ein: "Oh, then I'll have to take this off. Don't want it to stain now do we?" I took of her black panties and revealed her vagina in all of its glory. "Such a cute pussy, makes me want to give it a lick."

I descended lower and gave her slit a little rub before I licked it with my dextrous tongue. "Ahn~ Ein! Stop teasing me and eat my pussy like how you ravenously eat your food!"

"Your wish is my command." I then entered her slick folds with my tongue. Using my dexterity to try and find her sweet spots. I quickly heard a loud moan, then I pressed the attack on that spot licking with inhuman intensity, making her squirm. I then went for the triple threat, stimulating her exposed clit and nipple.

"Ohhh!~ Yes! Yes! Keep going! I'm gonna cum loads!!! Ahn~" She shouted as she convulsed and her sweet sugar walls contracted like a vice on my tongue. Squirting all over my face as I lap it up deliciously. She then went limp breathing like she ran a marathon "Well, you quite liked that didn't you? My little songstress. But how about Ein junior over here hmm?"

As I took off my boxers, exposing my erect member. "Hah, hah, give. Me, a sec." She says catching her breath. "Even in bed you're a god damned prodigy, you fucking monster! How will your dick fit in my little virgin pussy you stud? Go slowly you hung bastard." Pouting at me, quite frustrated in how easy she came like a waterfall.

"You're nice and slick enough Eden it will hurt, but I promise pleasure after that." I slowly prodded her maidenhood with my glans. Not surprisingly it slid in without difficulty due to her juices. "Damn, your pussy is so tight and snug it's trying to squeeze me dry, aren't you maybe a succubus Eden?" I then inserted all of myself inside of her, waiting for a bit to let her adjust.

"Ugh, you're stretching me wide oh my god." She flinched and frowned a bit, with sweat on her brow.

"Ooh~ Your pussy feels heavenly Eden, damn. You're gonna suck me dry quickly at this rate."

"Go on, I want to feel you inside me more." She gave me a small smile."

"Okay, gotta warn you though, I won't let you sleep tonight my little diva. You're gonna walk funny tomorrow that's for sure."

I then pulled back until only my glans was inside, then I slowly grinded my hips until I had a smooth rhythm.

"Hmm~ Yes, you're hitting all my sensitive spots again, You really want to break my mind don't you? Ahn~"

I then upped the pace and pistoned faster. "Don't complain that I didn't warn you, I told you what you're getting into, Ugh, damn Eden you feel too good. I'm gonna cum in a bit."

I then thrusted harder and faster, quickly reaching near orgasm. "Here I go baby, take it all for me!"

Eden locked me into place with her legs as she shouted and moaned. "Yes! Give it all to me! Inside! Cum inside me and fill me up, dye me with your colors Ein!"

Her pussy then clamped onto me while caressing my dick and gave a strong suction that made bust immediately. "Haaa! I'll fill your womb up that's for sure! Ugh." I roared as I plunged in deep, spearing her cervix and unloading loads of semen in her womb.

Eden breathing heavily went limp, twitching every now and then. I then kissed her softly on the lips and smiled at her.

"Hah, hah, I love you Ein."

"I love you too Eden. But we're not done yet no ma'am. Get on all fours, I haven't even stimulated all your weak spots simultaneously." I gave her a devilish grin.

"Huh? Wha." Before she can rebut I flipped her over and raised her hips. "Wait! Give me a few minutes first at least!" She protested weakly. I looked at the clock and saw that it's only 7 PM. I laughed then gave her a face splitting smirk. "The night is just beginning Eden, we still have a looot of time for me to enjoy you! Kekeke."

I then thrusted inside her from behind and passionate moans and screams, were heard inside her flat for 5 more hours. I still held back of course. It is her first time, maybe I'll do it for half a day next time I thought as I hear her moan for the nth time.

"I can't feel my legs you damned brute!"

Eden glared at me while we were cuddling.

"It's your fault, being all cute and cuddly. Seducing me, you vixen. I even held back, we only did it for 5 hours see?" I quickly retorted and pointed to the clock.

"Wha!? 5 hours!? Fuck, if this is you holding back, how am I gonna survive if you go all in on me? Hah, I'm really gonna need some help against you huh? Fine, you win. You tireless bastard." She grumbled "Wait a minute. You planned all of this didn't you? Pitching your idea for a harem, then seducing me and rut me until I don't feel my legs!"

I rolled my eyes "Not really, you're the one that suggested those Eden, not me. I'm just a little too amazing, and I just can't get enough of your sexy body hehe."

Eden looked at me suspiciously then pouted : "Of course you had me from the start, you little schemer. Alright, fine. Now let me rest, Ugh, I'm gonna be sore tomorrow for sure."

We then hugged tighter and let the bliss of sleep take us.

Pov switch

A young woman wearing glasses is sitting in front of a computer, watching the presentation of Mei and Ein.

She then read their papers and proposals, making her quite intrigued.

"Hmm, this Mei is one of the most bright minds we've seen in history. She'll be a great asset for our research." She said to herself.

"While Einheri, while not talked about more by the scientific community because he talked about biology. Is what I would call my kindred spirit. After all, perfecting humanity would make us prosper, not only we will efficiently take care of the honkai properly if we are perfect. There will also be no defects in the newer generations!" She exclaimed, with a glint in her eyes. Glimmering with insanity.

"He is also the kid of Dr. Eric and Frey, this boy will be a sight to behold. Ahhh, I can't wait to pick at his brain, know all of the secrets that it holds. It would be wonderful! I must get a hold on him!"

"Oy." She called over a soldier. "Protect and observe Mei at all costs, we will need to recruit her. She is an important asset that'll be precious to our research division. Do you understand? "Yes ma'am." he quickly replied then left.

"As for you, Einheri." She licked her lips as she watches his presentation again. "You'll be in Fire moth anyway, as your parents already made a reservation for you here. Fufufu~ I can't wait until you graduate and come to me. We'll have veeery long discussions and topics to research about."

____________________________________________

Me, Su, and Mei are now currently in a stadium. Why you ask? We're currently here waiting for Kevin's event. It's an international competition for athletes of high schools all over the world. Currently I'm sitting between Eden and Kevin's childhood friend who moved out early on too just like Mei. It goes back from a few weeks ago.

I was just returning from my morning run, And I quickly went to Kevin's apartment. Him and Su were occupied by their hobby that I don't know about, I didn't really ask because they were giggling like little kids while they talked about going to some concert. I quickly shut out my hearing and slowly backed away from them. Now I'm gonna see what this is all about, I sigh, wishing that it won't be weird.

As I knocked on his door. I heard quick footsteps, why's he running? Kevin then almost smacked me on the face with the door. I only got to evade because I'm super human.

"Dude, Ein. Quickly get in! Our angel doesn't do live performances much for free anymore! Quick! Or we'll miss it." He said rapidly with excitement.

"Alright, alright, geez. What got your panties in a twist." He ignored me and ran to the T.V. And sat with Su on the couch.

I just stared at them and looked what they're all giddy about. I sat beside them and waited for the performance, as I saw it was for charity or something.

Announcer: "Ladies and Gents! We have a very special guest right now, performing for a good cause this very morning! Let's give it up tooooo. The Angel of Strings and Voice of Heaven!" Kevin and Su then quickly got excited. "Ooh, here she comes Su, she's such a good person. Performing for events like this, she also donated a bit for the charity!"

"Yeah, Ms. Eden surely is our national treasure! Such a kind soul."

I was stunned, so these 2 guys are big fans of Eden huh? I decided to play dumb. "Hey, Kevin, Su. Who's that lady?" I silently grinned to myself and prepared to record these unsuspecting victims.

Kevin: "Why, only the Angel of Strings, Eden of course! How the hell don't you know her. She's like all over T.V!" He looked at me weirdly

Ein: "Duh, I don't watch TV dumbass."

Su: "We will convert you today to a dedicated fan Ein! Mark our words! Now, listen and be amazed by her voice. She's not called the voice of heaven for nothing." He nodded sagely.

"Suuuuure. Now shut up, she's going to perform."

Eden sang with her her ethereal voice, even though it's through the TV it was still enchanting and relaxing. Kevin and Su's eyes are glued to the screen with an excited look on their face. Kevin's mouth is open too, wish a fly would enter.

As her performance ended with one of our songs "See you in the next world" Su and Kevin have their eyes closed and they even teared up a bit.

Kevin: "Ahhhh, Eden my angel. Your voice is too divine! She's so dreamy. I wish I can meet her and shake her hand just once in my life! Then I can die peacefully.

Su: "Ms. Eden surely delivers every single time. I wish I can meet her too."

I got them in Ultra HD, I can't wait to show this to Eden and Mei kekeke. "Hmm, she surely deserves her moniker." I said to the both of them, which earned me a sagely nod.

"By the way Kevin, your comp's nearly here. Just a few weeks left. I'm gonna invite a good friend of mine I made on the net and introduce them all to you." I remember that Eden has time off that day. They're in for a surprise of a lifetime.

"Oh yeah! Eden gave me the motivation. I'll surely win the gold. One of my friends from back then would go too. I think you'll like her Ein, Mei though? Not so much." He ponders for a bit.

Su: "Ahhh Ellie? I haven't seen her for a long time. Well I didn't exactly got close to her as when we met she quickly moved away."

Ein: "Oh, I didn't know you have another friend from back then Kevin. Why won't she get along with Mei though?"

Kevin scratched the back of his head for a bit and smiled wryly. "Ahh, you see. Ellie will be a bit too much for Mei. She's the very definition of an extrovert and once she meets Mei she'll definitely bombard her with questions and get all up on her face."

Ein: "I see what you mean. Well then, let's go to classes we'll be late. I'll just wait for your friend until the competition. Mine will get along with all of you just fine."

I then invited Eden and showed her their reaction to her performance. She laughed at their antics and was interested in getting to know them too. As for Mei, she ignored Kevin for a week with him none the wiser MUAHAHAHA.

At the day of the comp. We were in the stadium and currently waiting for Eden and Kevin's friend to come. We just waited for a bit until a girl shouted to our direction.

"YAHO! Kevin! Su! Did you guys miss me!? She then quickly engulfed the two of them in a bear hug."

So this is Ellie huh, she's quite the beauty. She has long, thick, pink hair styled in a low ponytail with her bangs down. (Insert pic here)

Kevin and Su immediately disentangled themselves and introduced her to us. "Elysia, this is one of my friends Einheri." He pointed at me. "And this right here is my girlfriend, Mei." He scratched the back of his head for a bit. Embarrassed.

Elysia: "Ooohhh! Kevin, you didn't tell me you have such a cute girlfriend!?" She pouted.

Elysia then went to Mei and started blasting her with questions.

"Hey, when did you and Kevin meet? Oh, tell me how the meeting between the two of you go, Kevin is pretty enthusiastic after all. And how did you guys exactly got together? Such a cute girl like you. How did Kevin seduce you!?"

Mei then got startled and just stared at Elysia. "Um, we met at class and Ein introduced Kevin and Su to me." She said quietly.

"Now, now, don't be shy" Elysia teased "Tell me all the juicy details! I don't want to be left out after all, go on."

I quickly interjected as Mei went stiff and looked at Kevin for help, but alas, he was talking to Su, dumping Elysia to poor Mei.

"Haha Elysia-chan, don't you think Mei won't be able to answer your questions like that? Look, she's stiff as a board." I smiled.

Elysia: "Oh you're right. Nice to meet you Einheri, I'm Elysia, Mei said that you're the one that introduced them to each other?"

Ein: "Yup, call me Ein. Pleased to meet you too Elysia. How about we talk about those juicy details about their relationship together?" I smirked. Kevin groaned and Mei frowned deeply at my words.

Elysia: "Ooh, tell me, tell me."

Ein: "I even have a video of one of their dates in all of its HD glory, wanna see?" I whisper to her. She immediately had a big smile on her face, nodding quickly. We talked about how the couple met and their antics in general, embarrassing them both to no end. As I was about to show her the video of her date, someone called me.

Suspicious looking person: "Ein! I'm here.

Everybody but me instantly looked at her like she was gonna mug someone.

"Ooh, here you are, come here. I'll introduce you to everyone." She quickly walked to us while wearing her disguise. A shoal on her head, sunglasses and a face mask. She did look suspicious.

"Come on guys, I'll introduce her to you at a more private place. She's just quite high profile, we don't want to get mobbed here."

Everybody looked at her with interest as we walked inside a private room for Kevin.

"Now, you guys must be quite interested in my friend here no? I'll let her introduce herself, Kevin, Su, don't faint now." I chuckle to myself.

Eden started taking her disguise off and everyone were waiting with bated breath. As she took off her mask and sunglasses, everyone gasped.

Elysia: "Oh my goodness is that Eden? The angel of strings?" I nod "The voice of heaven?" She asked again to confirm as I nod at her question. Elysia was looking at Eden like she was an exotic animal in a zoo, shocked and confused.

Kevin: "W-What do you mean she's Eden!? Oh my god is this for real?" Kevin was starting to overheat, absolutely flabbergasted by seeing his idol in person.

Su was just still staring at Eden in a daze, thinking maybe it's just a dream and he doesn't want to wake up. Mei was in a daze as well, not expecting that Ein's friend was a celebrity.

"Hey guys, as you all know. My name is Eden, Ein invited me today to see one of your matches. He was Kevin I believe?" She then giggled, amused by their reactions.

Kevin: "Uhh, that's me ma'am. Thank you so much for coming to watch me today! It will be a story that I will tell to my next generation!" He bowed a perfect 90°. I thought that he was quite intense.

Eden laughed at his antics "Now, now, just call me Eden. I hope we get along nicely as friends from now on." She said elegantly.

Ein: "Hahaha that"s right! Eden, you know Kevin now, the gray haired dude is Su, the one in glasses is Mei, and the last one is Elysia. They're just surprised to see a celebrity."

Su: "Ni-nice to meet you ms. Eden, I'm a big fan! Can you please give me an autograph!?" Su took a picture of Eden in one of her performances from his bag and presented it to Eden.

Kevin: "Damn! I didn't bring any merch, Su! Do you have any pictures left?" Kevin exclaimed.

Su: "No, Kevin, you're on your own." He gave a smirk.

Kevin: Nooooo! What do I do. A piece of paper won't be very memorable." He panics.

Ein: "Hey Kevin, how about you let Eden sign your shirt for the race? Won't everyone see that you have an autograph from the Voice of Heaven herself? You'll be in the spotlight after you win for sure." I gave a suggestion.

Kevin: "Ooh, sasuga Ein-sama. Eden can you please give me an autograph as well?" He smiled expectantly to Eden.

Eden: She laughed at our conversation and took out a marker from her bag. Why she brings one? Celebrity problems. "Alright you boys come and get your autographs."

Elysia: "Hey, can I get one too? Pretty please? But I don't have any merch too. Ein-sama, please give this lowly one a solution too."

Ein: "Hm, alright then Elysia. I will give you a special gift because we just met today, consider it a token of our friendship."

I rummaged inside my bag and pretended I was going to get something, my inventory is secret after all. "Here you go Elysia. A copy of Eden's 1st song, see you in the next world. It has the song naturally, with a picture of her from the production date and the Music video. It also has bloopers too including the one who produced the music for the song."

Elysia's eyes shone, she quickly snatched it from my hand and held it like it was a treasure. Well, considering Eden's world wide popularity it might as well be.

Kevin & Su: "Damn, Elysia got the good stuff!"

Ein: "Of course don't forget about the autograph of the creators." Eden signed the record and after that I also signed it. Everyone were quite confused why I signed it too.

Elysia: "Uh, Ein? Why did you also sign? Don't tell me!?"

I gave a hearty laugh "Umu, that's right. This song was produced by me. Eden just sang but it was good enough, her voice is top notch after all." I nodded sagely.

Su, Kevin, Elysia, Mei: "What!?"

Ein: "Hehe, I'm amazing aren't I? I actually do a lot of Eden's music. Especially when she was just starting."

Kevin: "Ein made one of my favorite song!? That's impossible. He's just like Mei, studying all the time, with perfect grades. But he's also an artist!? This is just unfair man."

Ein: "Don't forget, so handsome he seems like he was sculpted by god." Well, I probably was? wasn't I?

Elysia: "Kevin, Su, my condolences. Your friend is just too amazing! Elysia chirped in.

Su: "Hah, don't worry too much about it Kevin. At least you have a cute girlfriend and Ein doesn't." He said looking oh so smug.

Mei blushed "Well you're still amazing Kevin, don't worry. I think you're at the top 1% in looks. The gap between you and Ein is just too huge." Mei grinned at Kevin.

Kevin: "Ugh, shut up you guys. I know it already."

Ein: "Oh, by the way Su. Let me show you something." I then looked at Eden "My little songstress, how about me? Don't I get anything special?" I pouted at Eden.

Eden sighed then gave me a kiss on the lips. I then inserted my tongue making an obscene sound for a quick moment before Eden separated from me with an atomic blush.

Eden: "Ein you bastard! Why'd you insert your tongue!?" She glared at me with a red face, looking like an angry tomato.

Ein: "I thought you like how I kiss you Eden?" I smirk at her.

Eden: "Of course when we're alone. You bad guy! Hmph!" She then looked down when she realized what she implied.

Everyone was silent, looking at us like they saw a ghost. Mouths opening and closing like a dying fish on land.

Mei: "W-what. What are you doing Ein!? You brute! I-inserting your tongue inside her mouth. You lewd beast!"

Su: "I give up, you just can't beat Ein." He shrugs.

Kevin: "Ein-sama, you are truly a god among men." He said, still shocked.

Elysia: "Fufufu~ Such an amazing man you are Ein."

We watched the incoming matches excitedly, there were racing sports, throwing ones, jumping or vaulting ones. But the one we enjoyed the most are the combat sports. We were currently watching the judo finals for women. A girl with dark red hair was against someone from our school. They were evenly matched and can't take a point easily.

But I noticed that the dark haired girl was favoring her left foot too much, she must have sprained her right at her previous matches. Ultimately, she lost and with my enhanced vision I saw her grit her teeth very hard. Tough luck.

I excused my self to go to the bathroom and buy some drinks from the vending machine. I then heard a girl curse over and over again. Deciding to check it out I go towards the voice.

Girl: "Shit! Shit! What a fucking unlucky day!" She was punching a wall until her knuckles bled. "For all the days that I could sprain my ankle. It just had to happen today!" She hit one last time with the greatest force yet.

"Hey, you don't have to pour it all on the poor wall. What did it do to you?" I seemingly appeared.

"Tch, Didn't your mom told you to mind your own damned business!?" She shouted with a killer glare.

Ein: I glared at her with my piercing eyes and she instantly shuts up and freezes. "My family actually partially own this establishment, girl. The very ground you stand on is our property, so I am minding my business. So shut up if you know what's good for you. Do you understand?" I stared at her

"Y-yes sir I understand, sorry for shouting." She looks down.

"Good! Now, what's your name? I saw your fight and you've sprained your right ankle didn't you?"

"What? How did you notice that? The match was pretty even so only experts will notice that."

"Simple, I'm an expert. I'm Einheri, you can call me Ein, let's go and get you fixed up. My friend is an aspiring doctor and he's got experience at a hospital. Let's get some supplies 1st."

"Okay. My name is HIMEKO by the way. Thanks."

"No problem Hime-chan." I smile at her. Now that I got a good look on her, she has yellow-orange eyes with long straight hair that's deep red in color. (pic here and in comments)

Himeko: "Hime chan?" She looked at me flabbergasted.

Ein: "Umu, it's your name is it not? You look the part too, so let's patch your hands up so it won't scar okay?

Himeko: "Un. Thanks."

Ein: "Why did you want to win so much anyway Hime-chan?" I genuinely asked.

Himeko: "Well, I'm about to graduate in a couple of months and this is my last chance to be scouted as a pro."

Ein: "Admirable, so you want to be a professional fighter? Do you want to be the best fighter or something?

Himeko: "To... Have a stable life honestly. I'm only good at martial arts and fighting. I don't think I can stand an office job."

Ein: "Ahhh, a simple goal so you can live a nice relaxing life with your earnings. I think that's a pretty nice goal in life."

Himeko: "Really? You don't think it's too shallow and I'm just in it for the money?" She looked at me wide eyed.

Ein: "Of course. I'm filthy fucking rich. I understand what it means to relax and have everything you need with a simple snap of your fingers. I think you're just too focused on trying to have a nice life so you can't dream bigger. I quite like your thinking, focus on what you can feasibly do 1st. Then maybe go aim higher or just maintain the status quo."

Himeko looked at empty space for a bit and just smiled at me. "You know, nobody ever believed in me like that. They just thought that with my skills why not aim higher and be renowned."

Ein: "Well, that's just how people are. Sometimes they understand you, but most of the time they don't. Well how about I give you a choice you can't refuse? Work for me as a guard when we graduate and I'll polish you up to be a perfect bodyguard. You'll get good pay. And I'm gonna have a friend that works as a sparring partner by my side when work gets too boring. You can focus on some more skills and hobbies too while you're at it, win win, no?

Himeko thinks hard on it for a minute as I gather supplies. "I think I'll wait a bit more before I accept your offer, I don't quite know you yet after all and if I'm going to be with you pretty much all the time, I sure as hell don't want an ass for a boss!" She smiles at me.

Ein: "Good, now I like you much better. Friends?"

Himeko: "Yeah, friends."

We returned at our private room and I blasted the door open. "Su! We have an approximately 16 y/o female needing medical attention with possible broken phalanges and a severely damaged astralagus joint on the right foot! A&O x 3 I need you Stat!"

They all scrambled and Su seriously listened to my case presentation. Then they saw a slightly limping red head that just looks like she had a sprain.

Su: "Damn you Ein, I almost had a heart attack." He then looked at Himeko and quickly assessed her. "She just hit a wall and scraped her knuckles didn't she? with a sprain on the right ankle?" He deadpans at me.

"Hahaha you're god damned right, now fix her up please. I'm too lazy, she's Himeko by the way." Then they introduced themselves one by one. But Himeko froze as she saw Eden.

Ein: "Hah, Eden give me an autographed photo please." I rummaged my bag again for another copy just like Elysia's then I signed at its cover then gave it to Himeko. "Here, watch and listen to this. You're welcome."

Su then quickly patched her up.

Eden: "So, Ein, why did you bring her here anyway? You could've patched her up by yourself." She raised a brow thinking that now 2 incredibly beautiful girls are near him.

Ein: "Well, with my power of friendship. I've cheered her up from her loss and now I introduce her to the gang.

They all stare at me like I grew a 2nd head.

"Anyways, Kevin's match is coming up let's watch him win because Eden gave him a power up, now he's filled with the hope of his friends." They ignored me as we wave goodbye to Kevin and wished him good luck.

Of course he didn't need it as he won it all and set a world record. We threw a small party, with Himeko joining as well.

A few months have gone by and we're about to graduate in a few weeks, Me and Eden toured Elysia in Nagazora, hanging out and having fun. I have a lingering feeling that Eden analyzes Elysia too much. Especially when I started calling her Ellie. As for Himeko, we met up from time to time, we spar and I polish her skills. Then we just play around, at one of our outings she really liked arcades and bowling. She even tried to get a plushy from a crane game that she thought was cute, a bootleg pikachu. I got it in a few tries of course once I calculated the grip strength of the crane and how wobbly it is. I got it on its tag, she was amazed and excited ending our little get together on a happy note.

I'm making calls so we can all get together and throw a party for graduation. As I was dialing a number, my phone suddenly died and I got a headache. Huh? That was weird, I swear my phone at least had a few hours left. Then I noticed that my apartment has no electricity, a blackout? That's very rare here. Very, very rare. I quickly got up and go to Su and Kevin.

"Hey! Kevin, Su. You guys okay?"

Kevin: "Yeah, A-okay. It's pretty weird though, blackouts are extremely rare nowadays. Especially on a big city like Nagazora."

Su: "Yup, just fine. Kevin's right maybe we should look for Mei? She's probably in her dorm room holding a flashlight still trying to read." He joked.

We then quickly found Mei and she was trying to use a flashlight. But it didn't open, even with new batteries. My brain quickly went to overdrive as I suspect something bad's going to happen. This might be an EMP attack and terrorists might attack the city.

Ein: "Guys, just stay together here for now and close the doors. Prepare to evacuate in case of emergency okay? I'm going to find Eden. She's with Himeko and Elysia right now, saying they'll have a girls night.

I quickly bolted out of there and ran, Fully electric cars have crashed all over the city and only a few fuel engine ones are still operable I quickly observed. I arrived in 5 minutes because it was near and I'm using the distraction to run faster.

"Eden! Elysia! Himeko! You guys here!?"

They then opened the door

Eden: "Were you worried Ein? We saw a lot of cars crash after the blackout."

Ein: "There was an EMP attack, I don't know the situation right now. Come with me girls, Senba is close and everyone is there, it has a lot of exits as well so we can evacuate quickly if something happens." The girls quickly agreed and we arrived shortly after.

"Okay guys we're nice and safe here at the dorms and let's just wait for more information first. Or until the power comes back on."

And as I said that, during a sunny day in Nagazora an explosion happened and the skies darken almost instantly. Lightning rained down all over the city, panic and havoc quickly overtook the populace. There was no information coming in and out at the city. And when it all seemingly gets worse, A huge serpent with a black shell and green highlights rampaged, accompanied by a four armed titanic honkai beast that destroyed every building in its wake, with the roar of a deafening thunder clap.

The 3rd Honkai erruption's epicenter. Was Nagazora.
