Over A Cherry Cosmos, Part 1

I wrote this as part of the Edens Zero Fic Exchange for @indraaas. Hope you like it! (Part 1 of 3)

“Here,” the voice of Lieutenant Justice, Rebecca’s direct supervisor, spoke as a file smacked down on her desk.

“What’s this?” Rebecca asked, reaching for the file.

“Your next bounty. You said you wanted a challenge; Weisz Steiner, high-ranking member of Sibir’s gang, and a thief wanted across nearly half the country. Every bounty hunter that went looking for him couldn’t catch him.”

“Every bounty hunter so far,” she corrected. “I’m on it, sir.”

Lt. Justice only nodded and returned to his office.

Rebecca opened the file to see Weisz Steiner’s mugshot: blond hair coiffed to the side, a half-amused, half-annoyed smirk on his face, and a flirty glare thrown at the camera with steel gray eyes. From the angle of his head, she could just barely see enough to guess that he was leaning against the wall as if he were leaning against a tree in the park.

‘He’s pretty cute.’

Her eyes scrolled down to the section about his family background, muttering quietly to herself as she read.

“Mm.. Only child… Mom is.. Maria Steiner, deceased…”

When Rebecca first caught the father’s name out of the corner of her eye, she nearly gave herself whiplash with how fast she did a double take.

“Doctor… Weiss Steiner… No way...”

‘The old Doctor has a son?’ she thought.

Memories came flooding to the surface of her mind: running into the street after her little blue cat Happy, the swerving car with screeching tires that seemed to come out of nowhere just as she caught up to him. Then, she was weightless, flying through the air for what felt like forever.

She didn’t remember hitting the ground. Only waking up in the hospital the next day.

“Where’s Happy?” a seven-year-old Rebecca demanded of the old doctor in front of her.

“Happy?” Doctor Steiner asked.

“M-my kitty. We were playing and he ran away from me, so I chased him. And-” she paused, tearing up, though she pretended she wasn’t. “I-I don’t remember what happened after that.”

The look that came over Doctor Steiner’s face was one Rebecca had seen from a lot of adults: a tight smile, slight tilt to the head, squinted eyes. It usually meant something she couldn’t name, but definitely didn’t like. And it always left her feeling frustrated and small.

Except this time, Doctor Steiner looked sad, too.

But in a flash, that awful, hated, and now confusing look was gone, replaced with a wide smile.

“Well, I sure don’t know, little one, but I can ask the nice people that brought you in if you want?”

Rebecca blinked in shock as his offer sunk in. Then, grinning from ear to ear and practically vibrating in her hospital bed, she shouted, “Yes, please!”

She quickly covered her mouth when she realized how loud she’d been on accident. She looked at Doctor Steiner, eyes wide and half curled in a ball, waiting for him to scold her for yelling.

Instead, he gave her a kind smile, one she couldn’t remember ever seeing before, especially not from an adult.

“Sure thing, kiddo,” the Doctor said, patting her gently on the head.

Rebecca smiled at the memory.

‘How can I arrest the son of the man who saved my life?’ she thought, her smile faltering. ‘I know it’s my job, but…’

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, stretching her neck in the process.

‘First thing’s first. I need more information.’

Rebecca stood up, grabbing her messenger bag from the back of her chair. She slung it over her shoulder and tossed Weisz Steiner’s file inside as she left the precinct.

~~~~~~~~~~

“What’cha got for me, Quinn?” Rebecca asked her friend and professional hacker.

“Well, he’s old fashioned,” Quinn said without looking up from her deep dive into Weisz Steiner.

Rebecca shook her head in confusion. “What?”

“No social media whatsoever. Even eighty-year-olds have Twitter these days.”

Quinn turned her chair around to face Rebecca, grabbing a coffee mug as she spun. Rebecca could tell that it was the hacker’s “Special Hot Chocolate” by the smell, the secrets of which she kept hidden behind a firewall the NSA itself couldn’t crack.

“Seriously, who doesn’t use social media these days? Even if it’s for no other reason than to keep up with the news?” Quinn shook her head in disbelief as she sipped on her drink.

“Not important. What did you find?”

Quinn raised her eyebrows. “Mm! Right.” She spun back around to face her main monitor. “So, I think I found a place where he likes to hang out. Edens Bar. Only two of the multiple credit cards he’s stolen in the last six months have turned up charges there, as opposed to him crawling over half of the bars in Norma.”

“So what makes you think he’s there? Maybe he just got kicked out or something.”

Quinn shook her head. “Nah. I hacked into their security cameras and found footage of him at the bar.”

“Of course,” Rebecca sighed. “Look, I know it’s not a big deal to you, but can you at least not openly mention the illegal hacking you’re doing for me directly to me? I need plausible deniability!”

Quinn waved off her concerns. “Don’t worry. Even if they could catch me, I wouldn’t let anything happen to you from my new seat at the NSA. Anyway, he seems on good terms with the staff, so he wasn’t banned.”

Rebecca groaned, but let it slide. Even if she gave Quinn trouble for it, she knew that she’d never be caught.

“Plus, I found footage of him there that doesn’t line up with any cards he’s been linked to, so it’s more likely that he’s just trying to keep people from tracking him there. Which is backed up by the fact that I tracked him with traffic cams before he showed up to Edens Bar and he’s checking for tails two miles out. And he takes the scenic route there.”

“Pretty solid plan,” Rebecca admitted.

“Yeah, until someone smarter came along,” Quinn said smugly.

Rebecca laughed. “Thanks, Quinn. Can you keep an eye on the bar and let me know when Weisz shows up again?”

“Of course.”

“Awesome,” she said. “Oh, and can you do one more thing for me?”

~~~~~~~~~~

Rebecca flexed her fingers in an attempt to shake away the anxiety. ‘This is research,’ she told herself. ‘In order to find a wanted criminal… Who is the son of the doctor who saved my life..’

“Damn it,” she muttered to herself, dropping her head on her steering wheel. Taking a deep breath, she stepped out of her car.

‘It’s not too late to turn around and drive away,’ her thoughts taunted her.

Chants of ‘it would be easy,’ ‘no one would ever know,’ and ‘Quinn can probably find out all you need’ stayed glued in Rebecca’s mind as she stalked forward. Instead, she tried to focus on anything else, her eyes fixating on the row of expensive houses in front of her.

They were all wide two-stories, mostly white or off-beige, occasionally lined with light hints of pastels for what Rebecca assumed these rich idiots called “flavor.” It was simultaneously extravagant and so boringly tasteless that she wondered how anyone could think it was nice to look at.

‘Exactly like the rich owners. All style, no substance. It feels like I’m looking at the wall of a padded cell.’

She finally reached the end of Doctor Steiner’s walkway and stopped, looking again at the house in front of her.

Compared to the rest of the nearly-identical houses on the street, his was easily the nicest to look at. The house itself was a very subtle off-yellow color, almost impossible to tell from a distance, accented with a light pastel baby blue color that outlined the windows and covered the pillars in the front. As she got closer, she noticed the front door was also the same shade of blue.

Rebecca tapped her leg as she stood in front of Doctor-turned-Professor Steiner’s door, working up the courage to knock. After nearly a minute of frantic leg-tapping, she finally forced herself to.

‘No backing out now,’ she thought. Her fingers were starting to get tired from tapping so much.

A few seconds later, the lock turned and the door opened.

“Can I help you, Miss?”

“Um, yeah,” she took a slow breath. “Are you Doctor Weiss Steiner?”

“Yes.” His eyes narrowed slightly, but didn’t say anything else.

“I’m Rebecca Blue-Garden. I’m a Bail Enforcer and I’m tracking your son, Weisz.” She had to fight to keep her voice even as she spoke. “I was hoping there might be something you could tell me about him.”

He blinked. “Such as?”

“Anything you think might be useful in bringing him in safely would be a good start.” Rebecca realized she’d been twisting her fingers together and forced herself to stop.

Doctor Steiner smiled kindly, and it matched up almost perfectly with the smile in her memory. “I don’t think I know anything that could help you.”

“A-are you sure? Nothing at all comes to mind?”

‘I read that Weisz ran away when he was fifteen in his file, but I thought that I’d at least get something useful from his dad.’

“I wish I could help you, Miss Blue-Garden, but I’m afraid not. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more use.”

He started to close the door. “G-”

“Wait!”

Doctor Steiner raised an eyebrow.

Rebecca sighed. “Y-you saved my life when I was a kid. And I’ve always wanted to thank you in some way, but I didn’t know how I could. I didn’t want or expect this..” She waved her hand around. “.. situation.”

“I.. operated on you?” he asked after a moment of silence.

“Yeah. I was playing with my little blue cat Happy when a drunk driver hit me. You even offered to ask the paramedics that brought me in if they saw him. Looking back now, it’s obvious that he… but it meant a lot to me back then.”

“You were the little girl with the blue cat? … Now that I think about it, your name does sound familiar..”

She tried to contain her rush of excitement.

“Come in,” he said, smiling with warmth and opening the door wider.

Rebecca blinked as she processed the offer. It’d been more or less what she wanted, but it surprised her that she actually got it. Then, she returned his smile and stepped through the door.

“So, you’re a Bail Enforcer?”

“Yep.”

Rebecca tried to calm her nerves. ‘What was my plan again?’ she thought, flexing her fingers at her sides. ‘Did I even have a plan?’

“And you’re looking for my son?”

“... Yep.”

‘This was a bad idea.’

Doctor Steiner chuckled sadly before speaking again. “Well, I wish I could help you, but I haven’t seen, much less spoken to my son in… almost ten years.”

“I see..”

‘He never once tried to contact his dad? I mean, I know I kinda assumed that was the case, but… hearing it confirmed makes me a little sad for the Doctor.’

“Weisz left when he was still a teenager, but even before then he wasn’t very talkative.”

Rebecca nodded slowly, following silently as he led the way to the living room. Doctor Steiner gestured to the couch as he sat down in a recliner chair a few feet away.

“So, how long have you been a Bail Enforcer?”

“Huh? Oh, about three years, now. Why do you ask?”

Doctor Steiner hesitated. “About how many of the people you’ve arrested ran away from home when they were younger?”

Rebecca paused. Broken homes weren’t exactly an uncommon denominator across all of the bounties she’s hunted down, but she didn’t want to sound like she was accusing the Doctor of being the reason his son ran away.

‘Maybe their relationship sucks and he doesn’t care about his son getting arrested.. That would make me feel less like a complete ass about doing my job…’

“Um.. Well, I don’t know numbers, but there’s been a few. It’s not rare.”

Doctor Steiner only hummed in response, eyes narrowed and slightly hunched over. Looking at him now, Rebecca could barely see the jovial doctor that saved her life; instead, all she saw was a worn down and sad old man.

‘Ugh, crap! I can’t do anything right today, can I?’

“Hm. I wonder why they felt the need to leave.”

The quiet, contemplative look on his face pulled at Rebecca’s heartstrings.

“Weisz was headstrong, stubborn… and full of hot air.”

She chuckled. “Aren’t all teenagers full of hot air?”

“Usually. But… I just wonder what was going through his head. I’ve always wondered why he left in the first place.” Doctor Steiner’s hard gaze at the floor became unfocused, distracted by his thoughts. “Or maybe I kind of already know. We couldn’t seem to see eye-to-eye. And I know that Maria’s family didn’t make it any easier. Maria was my wife, and Weisz’s mother,” he added.

Rebecca swallowed hard, nodding slowly. She didn’t know what she could say in response. Doctor Steiner’s entire being seemed steeped in sadness; the kind of bone-deep sadness that never truly goes away.

“Sorry, I’m not sure why I’m telling you this.”

She shook her head. “It’s okay.”

“You’re wondering what happened.”

It wasn’t a question.

“Well…” she trailed off. ‘Yeah, sort of.’

Doctor Steiner hummed. “Well, Weisz was always a troublemaker. He got into it a lot as a kid, and evidently, that’s never changed.. But Maria was always patient with him. Much more so than the rest of her family.”

Rebecca tried to hide her grimace, but the corner of her mouth still twitched.

“I don’t mean to sound like I’m judging. But they were… notoriously difficult to deal with. Any time Weisz got in a fight or let his grades slip, someone had something to say about it. Of course, never to us. But Weisz took notice.”

Doctor Steiner heaved a tired sigh.

“One day, he overheard a… particularly nasty comment from Maria’s sister. But before anyone could say anything else, he decided he’d finally had enough, I suppose, and he started yelling at them. When he finished, he said that… everyone would be happier if he left. And then he did.”

Rebecca bit the inside of her lip. She could practically hear him blaming himself.

‘People like that are impossible to please. They didn’t want Weisz to be a person, they wanted him to be a puppet.’

“I hoped he was just blowing off steam. He left before anyone could say anything to him. So I waited for him to come back, but… he didn’t,” Doctor Steiner sighed again. “And then, about eight months later… Maria died. I had hoped he’d go to the funeral, although it was probably for the best that he didn’t, in the end.”

She nodded. ‘His mom’s family are a bunch of judgmental dicks. I feel for him on that.’

A vibrating in her back pocket brought Rebecca to reality. Pulling out her phone, she saw Quinn’s name flash on the screen.

“My friend’s calling, I should take this,” she said, smiling politely as she stepped away. “Hello?”

“Hey, your criminal’s on his way to Edens.”

“Okay, thanks. Keep an eye on it.”

“I will. Want me to call Shiki and Homura?” Quinn offered, followed by the distant sound of her sipping on a drink.

“No, it’s fine,” Rebecca said, uttering a quick goodbye before hanging up. She walked back to the couch. “Okay,” she muttered. “Well, I should get going. It was nice talking to you.”

“Wait. Before you go,” Doctor Steiner said, standing quickly. “I was hoping you might be able to do me a small favor.” He walked to a nearby desk and pulled a pen and a pad of sticky notes from it, scribbling something.

“What is it?” she asked.

“If it’s at all possible, I was hoping…” he pulled the top sticky note off. “I might be able to see my son. I don’t know if you can do that, but I just want to talk to him again, and tell him something.”

Rebecca took the sticky note from him to see a phone number on it. She folded it carefully and stuck it in her phone case.

“I’ll do my best,” she said with a smile.

“Thank you, Miss Blue-Garden.” He walked with her back to the front door.

She nodded at him as she stepped outside.

‘Okay, Weisz Steiner. I am gonna get you into a conversation with your dad, even if I have to drag you by your pompous hair to do it.’

~~~~~~~~~~

Rebecca adjusted the rose barrette in her hair and brushed her bangs out of her eyes. Before going to Edens Bar, she changed into a black mini skirt, over the knee boots, and a blue halter top. Now, she made her final subtle adjustments before walking up to the empty seat next to her bounty.

“This seat taken?” she asked, with a sweet smile on her face. Rebecca made sure to throw a subtle, yet impossible-to-miss flirty glance his way.

“No. Go ahead.”

“Thanks,” she said as she slid into the bar chair. “What’s your name?”

“Weisz.”

“I’m Rebecca.”

Weisz flashed her a flirty smirk reminiscent of the one in his mugshot, and she had to correct an earlier thought.

‘Shit. He’s not cute, he’s hot.’

“Just a Cherry Cosmos, please.”

“So, what are you doing in this little bar?” Weisz asked, taking a sip of beer.

“I’m.. expanding my horizons. I’ve been in Norma for a while, but I haven’t really been a whole lot of places.”

Weisz leaned in. “If you want, I can give you a few places to check out.”

Rebecca mimicked him, leaning forward and slowly pulling her handcuffs out of her bag and under the bar. “Are you offering to show me these places yourself?” she flirted as she slid her hand closer to his.

“Well, if you want-”

The click of the cuffs closing around his wrist cut him off. Rebecca closed the other cuff around part of the underside of the bar.

“Well that’s not exactly how I prefer to be asked out on a date, but…”

Rebecca chuckled. “Funny.”

“I assume these aren’t for fun?” Weisz asked.

“Nope.”

“Too bad,” he sighed. “Will you at least let me finish my drink?”

Rebecca eyed the beer bottle in front of him. ‘Less than half full,’ she thought.

She sighed. “I guess.”

He sipped his beer calmly.

“Y’know, for someone who’s as high up in Sibir’s gang as you, I gotta say, you’re taking this whole ‘getting arrested’ thing pretty well.”

Weisz’s easy going smile faltered, fixing Rebecca with a cold stare. “I’m not with Sibir anymore.”

“Fine. You’re still under arrest,” she said flippantly. “I don’t know why so many other bounty hunters couldn’t catch you before, this was pretty easy.”

Weisz finished his beer, setting the empty bottle on the bar as he leaned towards her again. “If I may, Rebecca, I just have one question for you: how are you going to arrest me when you’re the one in handcuffs?”

Rebecca looked down at the space between them just in time to watch Weisz clasp the handcuff, previously on him, around her wrist.

“What-?”

She looked up at him, stunned. He winked at her, then leaned in.

“Drive safe, Rebecca.”

And then he was slipping out the door.

Rebecca sighed, turning back towards the bar to unlock herself when she noticed that Weisz had left enough money for both of their drinks.

‘He’s a thief, but he left money for the tab? A little “Robin Hood,” if you ask me.’

Her phone vibrated in her bag as she finished unlocking the handcuffs. Rebecca had barely put the phone up to her ear when Quinn started talking.

“Y’know, you never realize how much easier social media makes my job until you find that rare specimen without it and I have to actually try a little.”

“Meaning?” Rebecca asked, too annoyed for pleasantries as she stood and walked out of the bar.

“I was looking into Sibir’s gang, trying to see if there was something you might be able to use, and I just found out that-”

“That Weisz and Sibir aren’t ‘buddy-buddy’ anymore? Yeah, he just told me.”

“Okay, but did he say why?” Quinn asked.

Rebecca paused just outside the door. “No. Do you know?”

“Yeah. It’s messed up stuff, Becca. You know his mom died, right?”

“Yeah, but that’s all his file said about her.” She set out towards the small parking lot next to the bar.

“Well, I hacked the text messages of a few of Sibir’s guys and found out that, apparently, after Doc Junior joined up with Sibir, it was Sibir who did the hit and run that killed his mom, but he tagged the place with Rogue Out’s logo. Guess he wanted to cut off Weisz’s escape route. But when Weisz found out...”

“That’s… awful.” Rebecca’s hand hovered over her heart.

“Anyway, what’s happening at Edens?”

The hand over her heart tightened into a fist. “He got away,” Rebecca grumbled as she unlocked her car. “We’re gonna need to come up with a new plan.”

EDENS ZERO THEORY:

IS XIAO MEI SHICCA'S DAUGHTER?

{THE POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM THE MANGA "EDENS ZERO" BY HIRO MASHIMA.}

Before starting with this absurd theory I want to thanks @theweiszguy for providing me the official English scans of the manga (thank you so much Hali, you saved me! 💕) but above all I apologize if I make any grammatical errors.

I am Italian and English is not my first language ^^ ".

I also want to say that this theory will be REALLY LONG.

That said, let's start and remember.

THIS IS JUST A THEORY.

I know that surely the title of this post has certainly shocked you a lot but slowly I will try to explain my hypotheses about it.

During the formulation of this theory I asked myself the following questions:

What happened to the Shicca found dead? But above all WHERE are they dead?

Towards the end of the Chapter 4, we see this scene.

These two robots find two dead bodies, One of a man and one of a woman.

Obviously a great cold shower for Shicca shippers since we understand immediately who they are talking about.

And it is then confirmed by Rebecca's b-cube.

So we have the confirmation that those dead bodies are Shiki and Rebecca's.

But what happened? When did it happen? Where did it happen?

Unfortunately we don't know what happened but we can go back to when it happened and where it happened.

The manga gives us a first clue as to how long this death has happened,20,000 years before the bodies were found.

But there is another detail that makes us understand that a long time has passed, the fact that one of the robots says that it does not know what a B-cube is and that it has never seen one.

In addition, Rebecca's b-cube is really VERY damaged and most likely, despite the advanced technologies they will have after all those years, they will struggle to find intact video material inside that really shows what happened.

Also always on the b-cube and behind of itwe see the inscription "Edens Zero", the name of the demon king's ship,which will then become Shiki's ship.

And now the question comes spontaneously.

Why would Rebecca have to write Edens Zero's name behind her b-cube?

The answer is actually it could be easier than you think.

Rebecca had the name of the Edens Zero written on her b-cube because she became the queen of that ship before she died.

Calm, calm, calm, I'll explain everything!

If you think about it, it would also make sense that Shiki and Rebecca were found dead together.

Maybe before their death, Shiki and Rebecca developed their relationship to the point of actually becoming a couple and they decided to get married.

And from her marriage with Shiki, Rebecca would not only become Shiki's wife, but also the Edens Zero's Demon Queen.

If we follow this hypothesis we can also say that Mashima has already given us a signal about it...

More precisely in the color cover of chapter 19.

As we see in this cover (but also in a good chunk of chapters) Shiki and Rebecca wear the same clothes.

But those clothes are different from the others of the EZ Crew.

But I don't want to dwell so much on clothes as on Shiki and Rebecca themselves.

As we see in this cover the only one to be seated is Shiki.

And he's sitting on his throne (rightly, it's his throne) but next to him there's Rebecca. (And Pino but let's dwell only on Rebecca).

Rebecca is yes, standing like Weisz Witch and Pino, but she is literally leaning gently on the throne of Shiki.

She touches it but she's not sitting on it.

This is a very small but particular detail, because it makes us understand (always following this theory) that sooner or later Rebecca "will sit on the throne just like Shiki" because she will become queen thanks her marriage with him.

So ... Why put the Edens Zero's Name behind the b-cube?

First of all to demonstrate a certain loyalty to the ship as a friend of her crew members, but above all to show that that ship belongs in part to her.

Second, to have a certain "security".

Rebecca always runs with her b-cube with her and certainly even during the time of her death she had the b-cube with her.

And the fact that the name is behind the b-cube and maybe not at the side of it is not accidental.

Surely during the course of history Shiki and Rebecca will meet in front of a lot of enemies who want to take them out.

So putting the name of the Edens Zero behind would have been the certainty of having gone unnoticed by these enemies in some way when she and Shiki were off the ship (therefore "vulnerable"), and maybe being passed off as an ordinary couple and not the demon king and demon queen.

But it would also have been the security of being recognized in the event of premature death.

If you think about it is something that even the pirates did in real life,that of writing in their jewelry (especially the earrings) the place of belonging and / or the place where they wanted to be buried.

Seeing the risks they were taking, Rebecca could have thought of a similar thing to do with her b-cube and write the name of the ship of which she was the queen.

So if anything had happened to them at least she would have had the security that someone finding them would also find her b-cube, he would turn it over and read "Edens Zero" thus having a clue from which to start to reconstruct the whole puzzle of what happened.

But you will now ask yourself "Why did Rebecca have to think about such mature decisions?" but we'll talk about this soon.

First I want to dwell first on WHERE the Shicca have been found dead.

or rather ... where they were... "reborn."

In chapter 14 we come to know this:

Therefore, anyone who encounters the Mother can be reborn in the form of a new life.

And do you know where the Shicca are found dead?

Take a good look at this detail.

Exactly, their bodies are found on the Mother!

Therefore, Shiki and Rebecca arrived at the Mother and were reborn!

And their bodies is just what remains from their rebirth. (probably the mother takes people's souls to revive them)

And this also explains this phrase of Shiki when he sees the mother's hologram.

He very vaguely remembers the Mother because in an another life he met her.

It's really TOO serious while he says it, you can see he's not kidding.

So yes, the shicca are dead but at the same time they are reborn and Rebecca's b-cube can help us somehow rebuild to history.

But ... what does Xiao Mei have to do with all this? Why should it be the Shicca baby?

Well, the time has come to talk about why Rebecca would make all those mature choices for her protection and Shiki's.

As I said Shiki and Rebecca could already be married at the time of their rebirth.

And you know no .... especially when you get married you also think about building a family.

In the case of Shiki and Rebecca there would also be some pressure because they are still the King and Queen, and sooner or later the need to leave the ship, the title of "Demon King / Queen" and the riches of the ship to someone, exactly like the demon king did with Shiki.

Therefore, during those choices and especially during her rebirth, Rebecca was probably PREGNANT.

As I said Shiki and Rebecca could already be married at the time of their death so it is very likely that Rebecca was pregnant during her rebirth.

Pregnant with a little girl.

Pregnant with that child who will become Xiao Mei.

And as I'm saying, we're talking about Shicca's reborn.

This means that the ones we know in the manga are the Shicca reborn after the death of the previous ones.

So the Shicca that preceded "ours shicca" are none other than the Shicca found dead on Mother 20,000 years later.

And now you ask, "But why would Rebecca have to be put at risk so she was pregnant?" and above all "How is it possible that the shicca found dead have been found so long and above all that the b-cube is found to be the same model as "normal" Rebecca's?

I honestly asked myself too, and in fact for quite some time I was left with the doubt that these two questions would contradict my theory.

But then I re-read the chapters 5 and 11.

In chapter 5 when she learns that on Norma are 50 years back (X442) than normal (X492) Rebecca says this.

She's says that She haven't even born yet in.

And this is true because Rebecca should be around 17/18 years old so she should have been born in X474/ X475.

However we do not know what happened during those 32/33 years before her birth and above all we do not know how long the Mother takes to revive a new life.

Knowing moreover from Xiao mei herself that "time in this story is not very valuable" we can therefore assume that the Mother takes at least 30 years to revive a new life.

And that therefore the shicca found dead on the Mother died about 33 years earlier from the actual birth of the new Rebecca and Shiki.

This means that the Shicca found dead on the Mother died in X442 and should be born (if we calculate that they will have been 18 and 19 at the time of their death) around X423 and X424.

Exactly the same period in both the Weisz Steiner (the old and young one) were born.

And as for the two Weisz, the dead Shiki and Rebecca and the "normal" ones are four different people.

So the dead Shiki is different from the Shiki we know and the dead Rebecca is different from the Rebecca we know.

And even Xiao Mei, if she were really Shicca's daughter, would be the daughter of the dead Shicca and not our Shicca.

Therefore Xiao Mei could have been born 33 years before the story we know, in X442.

Also it is plausible that even the old Weisz had been a member of the old Edens Zero in which there were the Shicca found dead as a demon King and Queen, which would have made the young Weisz go with the new Shicca.

Furthermore, it is plausible that the old Weisz in his youth was in love with the old Rebecca, and maybe for her he also stopped looking at other women, but that after his death he never recovered and decided to close himself in his life as a professor and he only allowed himself to go to bed with other women every now and then, maybe then finding the love again in the Bunny Girl with whom we see him together.

Interestingly he has "adopted" as if he were a daughter Rebecca when she was a child and repaired Happy, but the child and the cat do not live with the doctor.

As we know, Norma was really a dying planet ...

but why not go to Bluegarden with Rebecca and Happy?

Well, but because old Weisz understood that the one in front of him was the reborn version of old Rebecca he loved in the past.

Although more than 30 years had passed Weisz still felt remorse for not having saved either Rebecca and Xiao Mei that time, and above all for having had to abandon Shiki from the Mother, losing a friend, the beloved woman and the daughter that they were having in a single blow of the same in a short time.

Therefore always have Rebecca, (especially so young) with him, would be living constantly with his walking past,that's why he wanted to keep her away from him.

But now we come to a question that you will surely be doing.

How could Xiao Mei actually be born?

We have a clue from her with this sentence.

We therefore know with certainty that Xiao Mei was reborn but that on the condition of her rebirth and her powers she would not have known where the Mother was.

It is therefore very likely that Rebecca found dead on Mother was pregnant with Xiao Mei at the time of her rebirth.

We also know that the mother can fulfill wishes as well as revive, so it is very plausible that during the journey to get on the mother, Rebecca's pregnancy has worsened and that, during a miscarriage, Rebecca died of a complication.

Rebecca then would never have been able to meet the Mother as was her and Shiki's desire ... but Shiki did.

After the death of Rebecca and her daughter, Shiki made sure that the bodies remained in Edens Zero ship until they arrived at the place where the Mother was, let him leave together with the two corpses to the point where the Mother was from the members of the edens zero and who has asked as a desire to revive him, Rebecca and their child.

However, if Shiki and Rebecca were already young adults when they were born again, Xiao Mei was born dead.

Therefore, Shiki and Rebecca were reborn 33 years later as humans though.

Xiao Mei instead received a "grace" from Mother, who made her an immortal and omniscient being but could no longer be human like her parents.

And being an oracle of the time, Xiao Mei knows what happened to her parents and what will happen to the "reborn" version of the same, but she experiences it with a certain detachment knowing that she is different from them and that our Shiki and Rebecca most likely they will never know the truth.

Or at least if they know it they won't be able to do much more about it.

This is why Xiao Mei always seems to not want to say much about her and wants to be taken as a simple storyteller.

And that's why Xiao Mei is presented to us at the beginning of the chapter 5,after the 4 when we know about the Shicca's death.

Despite everything she says that one day we will know who she is, this means that sooner or later we will know not only that it is an oracle of time but also her true identity.

It is also plausible that Xiao Mei's little body did not find itself together with that of its parents' because during the time of the abortion she was so small that her ossicles were lost with time and the decompression.

If you also include what I told you before about the b-cube found on Rebecca's body, then we can hypothesize that at the time of her rebirth on her corpse (brought by Shiki togheter with their dauguter's and himself) her b-cube was still around her neck.

And that the B-cube had the name of Edens Zero behind it.

So that what was born as a "clue" in the case of an untimely death due to enemies, has become a clue to understand how and when the ribirth Shiki and Rebecca died but above all that they were part of the Edens Zero ship.

However, there may be a new problem.

Why Xiao Mei, if she's Shiki and Rebecca's daughter has red eyes while Shiki and Rebecca have black and blue eyes?

The only plausible answer that comes to mind is that during her abortion, Xiao Mei was not fully formed (and therefore Rebecca's pregnancy was more or less the first few months) and that therefore her eyes were not yet formed.

Therefore, during her rebirth Xiao Mei has taken over all the genetic heritage of her parents ... except for her eyes.

She has not taken over the genetic heritage of the parents for the eyes either because when she died she had not yet formed them.... and it is probably because now her eyes show she everything she knows as an oracle of the time.

So they are red to show that her eyes are her "power".

For the rest, it is simply enough to compare many Shicca images with Xiao Mei's few appearances in the manga to realize that they are physically very similar in some respects.

(Having exceeded the limit of 10 photos per post I will probably do a second post below this to show you where, at least in my opinion, this physical similarity between the three is practically obvious.)

So here's all my theory about Xiao Mei as Shicca Baby, I hope you enjoyed it and let me know what you think about it!😊
