Volume 1: Chapter 18: A Beautiful Girl Falls from the Sky
🕑 Added 2025-04-29 15:17:44 +0000 UTCCold, lonely, and without light.
On the rooftop.
The black-haired girl sat on the railing.
Her eyes were dim, as if she had lost the will to live.
Raiden Mei, that's her name.
The eldest daughter of ME Company, but this identity ended when her father was thrown into prison.
The classmates who once supported her became indifferent, and the friends who used to talk to her happily also distanced themselves from her.
In such an environment, the girl's personality became more and more withdrawn.
With her father in prison and no one to accompany her, she lost the will to live.
"It's not bad to die like this."
She looked at the scenery below without any light in her pupils.
Just a light jump and you won't feel any pain.
So, that's good.
Mei Raiden thought so.
She did the same.
However, in order not to affect other people, the girl chose to jump off the building in a deserted place late at night.
With her hands open, the black-haired girl closed her eyes.
Then——
She leaped.
The sound of the wind is ringing in my ears.
Mei Raiden is waiting for the end of her life.
"Something fell from the sky?"
Some childish voices sounded.
The girl subconsciously opened her eyes.
She saw --
Below me, a cute child was standing there blankly, wearing a purple hat and looking up at the sky.
Why is there a child here?
This question flashed through Mei Raiden's mind.
Then she suddenly reacted.
“Get out of the way!”
The black-haired girl couldn't help but scream.
It would be fine if she died, but if I die with this lovely child, I will never be able to rest in peace even as a ghost!
"Hmm?"
The little child and the purple creature on his head tilted their heads slightly.
The next moment, Raiden Mei's body hit the opponent.
“Boom!”
The girl found that her body was only slightly painful.
"Are you okay?"
Looking at the cute child who was pressed under her, Raiden Mei's tone became extremely panicked.
I don’t know why she didn’t die after jumping from such a high and hitting someone, but this is not the most important thing.
"I'll call my home hospital and ask them to come and save you!"
She tried to take her phone out of her pocket, but when she saw the screen had been shattered by gravity and the screen wouldn't light up no matter how hard she pressed the power button, she became desperate.
"Yes, I'm sorry!"
Mei Raiden suddenly bent down, closed her eyes and apologized, her voice also filled with tears.
Because of her, an innocent minor was killed.
The guilt and remorse almost made her breathless.
"Zerg wants food!"
Then a childish voice sounded.
"I'll buy you food right now!"
Mei Raiden answered subconsciously.
"Huh?"
Then she realized something was wrong.
Cautiously opening her eyes, the girl saw that the little child was still alive and kicking.
The same goes for the purple creature above his head.
"Still alive?"
Mei Raiden was a little bit unbelievable.
The next moment——
She hugged the child in front of her tightly.
"Great, you're still alive!"
The girl buried her head in the child's neck.
The choking sound rang in Zerg's ears.
"?"
The little swarm leader knows nothing and has a silly and cute look on his face.
Why did this person suddenly hug me?
Why are there tears in her eyes?
"I'll buy you whatever you want to eat!"
Mei Raiden sobbed a little, then she suppressed her emotions a little.
It’s great to be still alive and not dead.
I didn't kill an innocent person.
"Hmm, salty?"
Then the girl found her eyes being licked.
The flowing tears were swept away by the little tongue.
“How strange.”
Zerg blinked.
“…”
Mei Raiden's thoughts stopped for a moment.
Until she was licked by another pink tongue, the girl's face suddenly turned red.
“You, you, you…”
She became incoherent.
“Gah!”
"So you tasted it salty too?"
Zerg raised his head slightly and looked at the jumping insect above his head.
Why is there salty water?
“…”
Mei Raiden looked at the strange combination in front of her and she didn't know what to say.
Under the moonlight, the extremely cute child looked like a fairy that only appeared at night, and the creature above its head did not seem to be a creature that could appear in this world.
Could it be that God noticed her thoughts and sent a fairy to save her?
Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why I jumped from such a high place and hit someone but didn't die, or even just felt a little pain, and that was all.
As a top student, Mei Raiden felt as if the edifice of physics had collapsed.
No, all this must be because of the child in front of me.
He is the fairy sent by God to save himself!
"Um, are you the goblin who came to save me?"
Mei Raiden calmed down and asked cautiously but expectantly.
"Fairy? Are you talking about Zerg?"
The tiny swarm master tilted his head slightly.
"So the fairy's name is Zerg..."
The girl said to herself.
"Are you okay, Zerg?"
Although she is a fairy, Mei Raiden is also afraid that her previous actions will cause the other party to be hurt.
"Zerg is fine!"
The little child replied.
“That’s great.”
The girl breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zerg, do you want to come home with me?"
After being saved by the fairy, Mei Raiden no longer had any thoughts of suicide.
Although her father was imprisoned and isolated by everyone, the girl was no longer afraid.
Because Mei Raiden met a cute fairy who saved her.
"Is there any food?"
Zerg's eyes lit up.
"Puff."
The girl burst into laughter.
This cute looking fairy is actually a foodie.
"Of course, you can eat as much as you want."
Even though her father was in prison, she was still the eldest daughter of ME Company, so she would not be reduced to poverty.
"Then Zerg will go with you!"
The little insect swarm master raised his hands high, cheering that he had a new source of food.
Then he remembered Skadi's teachings.
"Is it free food?"
"Of course it's free food, you don't have to spend any money."
"What price will Zerg have to pay?"
"No, because you saved me."
Zerg blinked.
He learned new knowledge -
Saving people = getting free food + no need to pay!
"Come on, lovely fairy Zerg, come home with me."
