After the dream ended, Ryn and Mei opened their eyes at the same time.
The two shared a smile. Just as Ryn was about to ask Mei if she was okay, he was sent flying by a kick from a blushing Mei.
Mei covered her face in embarrassment and retreated back into her bed.
The sheets were damp. It was hard to tell if it was drool from Mei's sleep, or if things had gotten too heated with Kiana in the dream and the effects had carried over to reality...
——————————————
Ryn, who had landed outside the room, was picking himself up from the floor.
He looked up only to find that many people were already waiting for him.
Seele and Youyi stood on either side of an enraged Bronya, expressions of disgust on their faces. Ryn knew that look well—it was the same look Theresa gave him when she found out he and Kiana were a couple, as if she were looking at scum.
After seeing Ryn look up at them, Youyi hid fearfully behind Bronya and Seele, while Bronya and Seele clutched the hems of their skirts.
"???"
Ryn looked at Bronya and Seele in confusion. One was wearing shorts and the other a long skirt, what was there to cover? Besides, it's not like he would look.
Bronya looked at Ryn with contempt. "You degenerate, I was wrong about you! Youyi already told us everything. You bastard, you took advantage of Mei when she was at her weakest during a nightmare and assaulted her!
It's a good thing Youyi was working overtime last night, otherwise she might have fallen victim to you too!"
"Huh?!"
Ryn was dumbfounded. What assault? Had they found out about the satisfying matter of licking Mei's feet?
Ryn quickly got up from the floor, straightened his clothes, and said with a sincere and earnest expression:
"First of all, I'm not a pervert. Secondly, I'm not a pervert. And finally, I'm really not a pervert! Bronya, you have to believe me!"
——————————————
——————————————
Afterwards, Ryn had to coax it out of them sentence by sentence to find out what Youyi had told Bronya and the others. He finally confirmed that Youyi had only seen him and Mei sleeping in the same bed and assumed he had forced himself on her.
As long as it wasn't about the satisfying matter of licking Mei's feet, it was fine~
Ryn spent a long time explaining to Bronya and the others, and with Mei's corroboration, they finally cleared up the misunderstanding.
But Bronya still took Youyi and left. Ryn was still hoping to hug the cute little Youyi, spend some quality time with her, and play some wholesome, brother-sister children's games.
What a pity. But thankfully, the real young Mei was still here.
"Little Mei, you're so cute, come give big brother a hug~" Ryn opened his arms and called out to Mei.
Mei looked at the shameless Ryn, unconsciously took two steps back, put on another coat, then pointed a small finger to the sky, gathering a layer of crackling thunderclouds.
"Narukami!"
CRACKLE—
———————————————
After spending a night with the Fire Moths, Ryn began to prepare for the main task he came here for.
To find a dragon-type Honkai Beast for his Mei. Originally, he had planned to go straight to Kukulkan's territory to steal a dragon egg, but since God Mei was still alive, there was no need for that anymore.
Ryn eagerly told Mei his request. Mei looked at Ryn for a moment, then gave an order to the Insect Queen, telling her to prepare.
That afternoon, Ryn found himself contemplating a giant insectoid crystal and an enormous insect egg that took up the entire room.
"Mei? Was there some kind of mistake? I asked for a dragon egg! Why did you give me an insect egg and a crystal? I don't want to start an insectoid army!"
Mei crossed her arms and looked up at Ryn with a smile.
"A maggot, the scum of society, paired with the swarm, isn't that a perfect match? You still want a dragon? Eat shit!"
Ryn looked around, then drew the curtains to prevent outsiders from seeing the upcoming scene.
Then, he suppressed the Honkai energy in the room, grabbed a clothes hanger and a shoehorn, and slowly walked towards Mei step by step.
Sensing that she had lost control of the Honkai energy in the air, Mei panicked and turned to run.
But before Mei could take a few steps, she found that the door had been sealed by Ryn with Honkai energy...
Mei leaned against the door in fear, her face filled with terror.
"What do you want...? Don't come over here!!"
"A disobedient child probably just needs a good spanking."
Ryn smiled as he grabbed Mei's hands and lifted her up.
As soon as Kiana was gone, she let her childish nature loose and became a disobedient little brat. She needed to be properly taught and corrected by an adult.
And so, to Mei's horrified and indignant expression, Ryn smacked the shoehorn right on her soft, bouncy bottom, sending ripples through the flesh.
*SMACK—*
"You bastard, how dare you..."
Feeling the stinging sensation on her bottom, Mei's face immediately turned bright red. Even her father had never spanked her, and now Ryn had done it.
*SMACK—*
"Ryn! Don't push your luck!!"
*SMACK—*
"No, no, no... I'm sorry!"
*SMACK—*
"Waaaaah—"

———————————————
In the western part of Nagazora City, the territory of the Kukulkan clan.
Hundreds of giant dragons were coiled here. The smallest had a wingspan of only a few meters, while the largest exceeded thirty meters.
Ryn, holding a Mei who wore an expression like Raiden Ryoma had just died, walked on air, slowly descending from the sky.
After arriving at the Kukulkan territory, Mei rolled her eyes impatiently and shouted at Ryn:
"We're here, hurry up and put me down!"
"I don't wanna~" Ryn held the little Mei tightly, occasionally rubbing his face against hers.
"Little Mei is so cute, what's wrong with letting me pet you!"
"My cuteness is for Kiana! Not for you!!"
"Is that so? Then, Mei, you wouldn't want Kiana to be unable to come back, would you? Don't forget, Kiana can only enter this world right now because she's using Stigmata Kiana as a vessel, right?"
"Ngh..."
Mei was at a loss for words. Then she grabbed Ryn's shoulders, squeezed his cartilage hard, and twisted.
"Are you a bastard?! This morning you were so earnestly promising Bronya and the others that you weren't a pervert, and now you're threatening me again!"
"Ehe~ Mei, tell me, isn't my Far East accent perfect?"
"It's very perfect! So perfect I want to strike you with Narukami!"
———————————————
In the end, Mei could only resign herself to the role of a "widow" and submit to Ryn's tyranny.
And so, this scene unfolded: Brother Ryn, holding his young little sister Mei in his left arm, and the Star Sword in his right, charged in and out of the Kukulkan clan's territory seven times... (not really)
