The Bird[]
Once upon a time, there was a girl. She led a peaceful life just like any other, but unknown to her, this peacefulness was merely a facade, thinly veiled over the caprice of fate...
What you are about to see is the story of this girl.
Student A: Wow! Mei's lunch box is so posh!
Student B: Mmmm! The taste is unbelievable! Only a lunch like this befits the heiress to ME Corp!
Student C: Did you cook everything yourself?
Mei: Please help yourselves if you don't mind.
Student A: Yay! You're the best!
Student B: Can I visit your manor? Oh please?
Student C: How about ME Corp? They're rumored to house all the tech marvels!
Mei: Of course! You're all welcome anytime.
The girl was the happiest bird in a blooming forest. The other animals gathered around her, praising her angelic voice and casting admiring eyes upon her.
Family[]
Her father was the owner of a large enterprise. His days were consumed by work, leaving him little time with his daughter.
Even so, the girl did not feel lonely, for she had…
Mei: Swordmaster HOMU, I hereby challenge you to a duel! My father once said a tenacious heart is stronger than the sharpest of blades. I will never give up, no matter how many times I lose to you!
HOMU: Oh? You have spirit. Show me what you've got!
Mei: Raiden Mei of Hokushin-Itto-ryu, unsheathed!
Mei: Heh heh. I finally won!
Mei: Look at the time! I must hurry home. Dad said he's returning for dinner with me today!
Ryoma: I didn't expect her kendo to evolve so much in only a few weeks when I was away. I'm so proud of her.
Ryoma: Look at that smile... I'd better not let her discover that I'm [Swordmaster HOMU].
The Crow[]
The girl lived every day blissfully. However, her life was turned upside down by that horrible [incident]...
Student A: Did you see the news?
Student B: The CEO of ME Corp jailed? I heard they froze all his assets.
Student C: I thought her father was someone worth respecting.
Student D: She's been living lavishly on embezzled money! Disgusting!
Mei: Um... I... Do you want to have lunch with me?
Student A: Why would anyone eat with the filthy daughter of a criminal?
Mei: You've misunderstood! My father is not a criminal!
Mei: He... He can't be!!
Only then did it dawn on the girl that she was never the chirping bird she believed she was. She was only a crow holding a chunk of meat in her beak in the eyes of others. When those surrounding her discovered the meat in her beak was gone, they all flocked away, isolating her.
Parting[]
Mei: Swordmaster HOMU... why haven't you shown up lately...
Mei: Could it be... he hates me as well?
Mei: What's that?
Mei: This is... No...
Mei: Dad...
The girl realized, at this very moment, that her heart was far from strong...
The Bird[]
The swelling malice engulfed the girl like a mire.
Social alienation, familial plight, school bullying...
The malice gushed forth, suffocating her...
Yet the thick darkness was pierced by a ray of light.
The light was warm and bright.
It drilled through the darkness to shine over her, as if telling her that she was not alone.
The girl would never forget how she met [ her ].
The Cooking[]
Kiana: Mei, look! What's that!?
Mei: Huh?
Mei: My lunch! Kiana!
Kiana: This is soooooo good! Did you make it yourself?
Mei: Um, yes, I did...
Kiana: Yum yum! It's the best onigiri I've ever had!
Mei: You mean it?
Kiana: Of course! So much better than the ones I made!
Mei: Isn't this... all burnt?
Kiana: Hee hee...
Kiana: Just looking at your lunch makes my mouth water... Soooo... can I...
Mei: Okay, okay! I will prepare your portion from tomorrow.
Kiana: Yipee! I knew playing cute would work!
Kiana: I want salmon onigiri!
Mei: Got it.
Kiana: And tamagoyaki!
Mei: Anything you want~
Kiana: Oh oh oh, how about big juicy drumsticks?
Kiana: I'm not done yet!
Perhaps that was what sparked the girl's interest in culinary arts...
For she learned that food was not solely about satiating hunger...
Umbrella[]
Kiana: Whoa! It's raining kittens 'n puppies!
Mei: Kiana?
Kiana: Mei? Why are you still here?
Kiana: Does that mean... you forgot your umbrella?
Mei: Yeah...
Kiana: Here, take mine!
Mei: But Kiana, wait! You'll catch a cold!
Kiana: We tough Kaslana warriors never catch a cold! Don't worry about me. I won't let you get soaked!
Mei: That's... that's not the problem! We can share the umbrella!
Kiana: It's too tiny for uuuuuus!
The girl was shocked to discover that someone genuinely cared about her.
Apart from her father, she has never met someone like her new friend before.
Friends[]
Student A: Did you know that Mei's father is still in jail?
Student B: So he is guilty after all.
Student C: Remember Mei crying he was wronged? I say she's his accomplice!
Mei: ...
Kiana: Oi! Stop bad-mouthing Mei!
Student: What? This doesn't have anything to do with you!
Kiana: Of course it does! I'm her friend so I gotta protect her!
Student: You're her friend? Great, you're going to ending up behind bars too!
Kiana: Say! That! Again!
Mei: Kiana! It's okay. Let go. I wasn't hurt.
Kiana: No! I'm gonna slug 'em so hard that they'll beg for your forgiveness!
Student A: She's barking mad! Let's get out of here!
Kiana: Cowards! Come back!
Kiana: Hmph! Don't let me catch sight of you roaches again!
Mei: ...
Mei: Don't you mind?
Kiana: Mind what?
Mei: The case... about ME Corp.
Kiana: Why should I? Mei is Mei, with or without the case.
Mei: Kiana...
Kiana: Ya know, I've been a loner for as long as I could remember...
Kiana: But I no longer feel that way after knowing Mei!
Mei: Haha... that's supposed to be my line.
Kiana: Well then! I'll be your sworn protector from now on!
Mei: Thank you, Kiana. Thank you for always being there for me.
The girl often thought to herself - how lucky it was for her to have a friend like [her]!
The girl did not know what a true friend was before meeting her.
Disappearance[]
The girl found the one who mattered to her once more.
Perhaps her life had finally regained peace...
Alas, this was but another fate's cruel joke...
Kiana... suddenly disappeared from [my] world
Resolve[]
From then on, I seem to have become a mere spectator... one who could only watch Kiana struggle under the stage...
I watched her fall into despair...
I watched her put her life on the line...
Watched her... being taken away from me...
I can clearly feel that Kiana is drifting away from me...
I know her will to protect everyone is consuming her own life...
I know if everything goes on like this, she will no longer be part of my world...
Will I stand by and watch my dearest slip through my fingers as before?
No... I'm no longer the child who could do nothing but cry.
Kiana, you're not leaving my world without my permission!
