I Am Honkai

"When you look closely, this city is truly full of 'hidden talents,' even selling authentic beggar's chicken... Wow, eating this is so satisfying."

Selene walked out of the restaurant with a sigh of satisfaction, wiping nonexistent sweat from her forehead. Feeling the intense heat outside, Selene frowned slightly. Although she felt nothing from the high temperature and did not sweat, it still made her a bit irritable.

She casually adjusted the temperature around her, and in the next moment, a cool sensation enveloped her, completely blocking out the heat.

"Ahh." She stretched comfortably and then walked straight to the sports car parked by the roadside.

As Selene touched the car, the coolness spread throughout the vehicle, dispelling the heat, and she prepared to drive back to Tokiwadai Middle School.

It's interesting. Since coming to this world, Selene hasn't had to worry about making a living, but driven by an unknown sense of urgency, she lived a very tight life and never really enjoyed it.

After completing her transformation in the Walking Dead world, perhaps she opened her mind, realizing that the main thing now is to nurture her core to make it fully compatible with herself. Why worry about anything else? Why be so impatient?

With this mindset, Selene began to relax, and she started to pay attention to the urban scenery she had previously ignored.

"Am I being too slack, leaving all the trivial matters to Kakine Teitoku?" Thinking about an employee she had been exploiting, Selene chuckled, "Maybe I should find something for myself to do and let him take a break..."

Since Kakine Teitoku joined, Selene had given him all the troublesome tasks, thinking he was an expert in the dark side, and she had completely freed herself from work.

At a hotel, a brown-haired boy sneezed three times in a row, wondering who was talking about him behind his back. "Am I sick? Could it be that the overtime over the past six months has ruined my health? It shouldn't be..."

"Never mind, I should head back. Hmm?" Selene shook her head as if trying to rid herself of these thoughts.

Suddenly, a flyer was blown over by the wind, flying right past Selene, and she grabbed it. "Grand opening of the crepe shop in the 7th district... The first 100 customers can get a Gekota mascot doll..."

The last line and the green frog-shaped doll made Selene's eyebrows twitch.

"Do people really like this sort of thing... Hmm, they really do..." Selene muttered, suddenly thinking of a certain chestnut-brown-haired figure and couldn't help but laugh, "That person with childish interests." An idea suddenly popped into Selene's head, "Hehehe."

"But... speaking of crepes... I wonder what the difference is between them and Jianbing." A nostalgic look appeared on Selene's face, "I might as well go and try them."

...

Elsewhere, at Joseph's Café:

"My fan?"

"A girl from the 177th branch of the Discipline Committee who supports me. She keeps insisting on meeting you, Onee-sama, just once." In response to Misaka Mikoto's question, Shirai Kuroko answered in an elegant tone.

"Ugh..." Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto seemed to lose all her energy.

"I know that Onee-sama is always troubled by the rude behavior of fans, but Uiharu is a sensible and well-mannered girl. More importantly, she is one of the few friends I approve of. Please, meet her for my sake." Shirai Kuroko continued to persuade her in an elegant tone while sipping her coffee.

However, all this poise vanished when Shirai Kuroko took out her notebook, and her voice gradually became perverted. "Of course, I will try my best to minimize Onee-sama's stress... I'll plan everything for today..."

"Huh? Wait..." Ignoring Kuroko's lament, Misaka Mikoto snatched the notebook, pressed her hand against Kuroko's face, and began reading it with a calm tone.

"What's this? A plan to use Uiharu as an excuse for a date with Onee-sama..."

As she read on, Misaka Mikoto's brows began to furrow.

"First, strengthen our bond at a family restaurant. Second, go to a lingerie shop to buy a 'decisive victory' lingerie set. Third, shop for aphrodisiacs at a perfume store. Fourth, get rid of Uiharu. Fifth, go to a hotel with Onee-sama..."

With each line read, more sweat appeared on Shirai Kuroko's face.

"So, you want to use a sensible and well-mannered friend to fulfill your perverted desires..." Misaka Mikoto's tone gradually became more severe.

"No... um..." Before Shirai Kuroko could explain, Misaka grabbed Kuroko's cheeks and began pulling them as if kneading dough. "Just reading this has built up a lot of stress for me..."

"Ow... Ow... Please forgive me, Onee-sama." Muffled by her stretched cheeks, Shirai Kuroko pleaded unclearly.

Just as Shirai Kuroko was about to give up on today's plan, Misaka Mikoto's next words reignited her enthusiasm.

"But since she is Kuroko's friend, I suppose there's no helping it."

"Wow..."

Upon hearing this, Shirai Kuroko leapt excitedly, teleporting into Misaka Mikoto's embrace, clinging tightly while babbling incoherently, "Onee-sama~! Onee-sama values Kuroko so much, Kuroko~ Kuroko~"

In an instant, the commotion drew the attention of everyone in the café. The stares from the crowd and reminders from the staff made Misaka Mikoto feel embarrassed.

Thud!

After leaving the café, Shirai Kuroko rubbed her head and began introducing her friends.

"Let me first introduce you. This is Uiharu Kazari, a first-year at Sakugawa Middle School. And..."

As soon as she spoke, Uiharu Kazari nervously introduced herself, "N-nice to meet you. I'm Uiharu Kazari."

Unlike in the original story, Saten Ruiko, though disappointed that she didn't find the senpai she was looking for, still introduced herself politely without emphasizing her Lv0 status. "Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Saten Ruiko, Uiharu Kazari's classmate. Sorry for coming without invitation."

After the two parties got acquainted, Shirai Kuroko leapt forward, took out her notebook, with a strange blush on her face, showing a hint of excitement.

"Then, after the lengthy introductions, although there are some deviations from the plan, I, Kuroko, will now handle the following arrangements..."

Thud!

Knowing that Kuroko's next words would be perverted, Misaka Mikoto decisively interrupted her, ignoring her protests, and forcibly changed the destination to the arcade.

"Alright, Kuroko, let's go."

...

Hmm, they should be coming.

"Excuse me, what kind of crepe would you like?" At that moment, a sweet female voice interrupted Selene's thoughts. Looking up, Selene saw the salesgirl smiling at her.

"Oh, sorry, I was lost in thought. Um, do you have any recommendations?" Selene smiled back apologetically but found it difficult to make a choice.

"Recommendations? Something suited to students' tastes. How about blueberry chocolate?"

"Then I'll have five blueberry chocolate crepes."

"Alright, please wait a moment." The salesgirl smiled and turned around to start preparing.

Just then, four figures gradually appeared in Selene's field of view.
