Chapter 6: The Wealthy Lady's Generosity

Luo Lin instructed Raiden Mei to find a place herself, at least somewhere they could talk properly.

Subsequently, Miss Raiden Mei, who currently had no worries about money at all, directly took over a café near the Senba Academy. This café even had a small piece of land where they could practice some less exaggerated moves.

Upon learning of Raiden Mei's actions, Kiana was stunned. Although Siegfried had left her with a bank account containing quite a bit of money when she was left alone, Kiana was usually very careful with her spending and had no intention of being extravagant.

Now, seeing Raiden Mei standing in front of her own café with her arms wide open, looking as if she owned the place, Kiana was indeed intimidated by the aura emanating from Mei.

Different from Kiana, who was lost in thought, Luo Lin immediately raised a question, "Mei, does your dad know about you buying this café?"

"Hmph, he doesn't know yet... I used my allowance to buy it," Raiden Mei proudly lifted her neck and explained, "If I suddenly told him I had superpowers, my career-minded old man would definitely think I'm just joking like a child—I want to become powerful and make something extraordinary before showing him!"

Luo Lin: "...That's admirable."

No wonder Raiden Ryoma hadn't brought his Titan Corps to smash her into pieces yet. So Raiden Mei was doing things behind her old man's back?

Well, that's quite like the spirit of Far East, quietly preparing to do something big!

The girl with blue-purple long hair pushed open the door and walked in. She looked around with interest at the café equipment inside, and the rich aroma of coffee lingered in everyone's noses.

Of course, there were also several bewildered employees standing inside. They were the previous employees of the café, looking confused as they packed up their things.

Actually, the owner of this shop had no intention of selling it, but Raiden Mei offered too much money.

Perhaps it was because she looked too young, he was a bit afraid that Mei's parents would regret it later and come asking for money. He almost ran away with his luggage within a few hours of receiving the money.

The few employees who used to work in the café were also a bit confused, but the boss settled their wages very generously and terminated their employment contracts, at least all the formalities were done.

After seeing Raiden Mei buy the store with such a large sum, they asked the girl if they still needed employees after this. Raiden Mei thought about the situation and understood what was going on.

She didn't buy the café to open a business; this place was just a temporary classroom (?). Maybe there would be some extraordinary items later, which wouldn't be good for ordinary people to see.

So, Raiden Mei adjusted her facial expression, talked to the former employees, and explained that she wouldn't maintain the café's functions. They could find new jobs.

The employees looked bitter. Finding a job was always quite troublesome no matter when. They could only pack up their personal belongings and leave reluctantly.

After arranging these matters, Raiden Mei turned around, smiling, "Okay, this is our base now, and I've bought everything inside..."

She continued to lead the two inside, and they saw a small courtyard deep in the store, with some plants planted in it, making the atmosphere of the café instantly upscale.

However, Raiden Mei must be used to this kind of scene. She gestured a few times and said, "All the plants can be dug up later, the dining area next to it can also be dismantled, and these two parts can be combined. We'll practice our moves here..."

Luo Lin looked around. The place wasn't big, but it could indeed be used as a practice ground without any problem.

Raiden Mei remembered the expression on Luo Lin's face and continued to look around with the other two, circling back to the main hall of the café.

Kiana relaxed a bit, not so stiff anymore. She curiously touched the coffee machine on the counter and exclaimed, "Wow, you can tell this thing is expensive."

Raiden Mei looked at the various cakes seemingly made this morning on the counter and patted Kiana's shoulder, "If you want to eat, eat now. These things will go bad if left for too long..."

"Really, thanks Mei!"

Kiana was delighted, took out a plate and cutlery from herself, and began to enjoy it heartily.

As Luo Lin looked at Raiden Mei, she noticed the girl with blue-purple long hair staring at her seriously, probably waiting for her reaction.

"Okay, okay, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Raiden Mei agreed without hesitation. She and Luo Lin sat on the chairs in front of the counter, with Kiana stuffing herself behind the counter like a hamster.

Seeing Luo Lin and Raiden Mei seated, Kiana smoothly brought them each a piece of cake. Seeing her skilled movements, it was obvious she had worked in a similar café before.

"How's my sincerity?" Raiden Mei asked.

"It's evident, very thoughtful... But you didn't really have to go to such lengths. It's okay to just find a place to chat casually. After all, we're friends, and you're making me feel embarrassed by doing this."

"Hmm." Mei blinked, "Do you want me to apologize?"

"Forget it, since you've already bought the place, I'll just put in a little more effort to fulfill your wish."

Luo Lin placed her arm on the edge of the counter and looked at the girl with blue-purple long hair with an expectant gaze, tapping the table with her finger, "Kiana, come and listen. You probably haven't had systematic exposure to this kind of knowledge since you were young..."

"Indeed."

Both Kiana and Raiden Mei focused their attention on Luo Lin.

The black-haired girl leisurely took out two identical thick books from her clothes—"Chronicles of Honkai," the teaching material of the Valkyrie Academy.

Raiden Mei's eyes lit up. Just by looking at the thickness of these two books, it was obvious that Luo Lin didn't have a place to hide them on her body.

Now, the black-haired girl seemed to have performed magic to pull them out, probably using the technique of superpowers!

Storage space, mysterious ring, quantum teleportation... The girl with blue-purple long hair began to brainstorm.

Kiana looked at the thick book in her hand and the increasingly imposing Luo Lin in front of her. The tuft of hair on her head drooped suddenly.

I don't want to go to class...

Both of these books were things Luo Lin had used before. One was what she used after crossing over, when she self-studied at the headquarters of the Valkyries. The other was bought with crystals when she needed teaching materials in the system space, by the Himeko.

Consider it as giving you a head start on attending the St. Freya Academy.

Luo Lin spoke up, "Alright, Kiana, Raiden Mei, let's start our lesson. Everything has to start from the basics. You want to know what the extraordinary world is like, right? Let's start with the history of Honkai and humanity's encounter with it..."
