Chapter 38 Sweetheart
……
"This is what happened today."
Because Seele's talent was visibly impressive, she was led to the Firemoth's main base that day. Yun Fuyu secretly glanced at her from a distance, but quickly left to avoid suspicion.
In the dreamscape filled with purple light, Seele told Yun Fuyu about what had happened that day, along with her own speculation—Alisia might be suspicious of her.
Firstly, there was Alicia's earlier statement, "You look like one of my friends," and secondly, Alicia's strength was clearly very high, yet she still "made a mistake" that resulted in Seele being injured.
Although this is what Seele wants, she couldn't help but furrow her beautiful eyebrows when she brought it up, suggesting that she is wary of Alicia and therefore doesn't have a high level of affection for her...
Yun Fuyu, however, had a different idea: Even if Alicia suspected Seele's identity, what could she do?
Seele is truly a Herrscher who has broken free from the control of the Honkai. The Alicia that Yun Fuyu knows would only feel joy at the existence of her own kind, and would not expose Seele.
Right now, Seele and Yun Fuyu have a similar goal: to obtain official status within the Firemoth and live a relatively peaceful life. Nothing else matters. The information Alicia possesses is insufficient to disrupt their lives.
Therefore, Yun Fuyu wasn't worried at all. Instead, she comforted Xier for a few words and then brought up other things: "I've been assigned a mission tomorrow that I have to go on. Let's try to 'coincidentally' meet again in a few days."
Seele clearly showed a hint of regret, but she still nodded and smiled, saying, "It's okay."
Dreams can get boring sometimes, so you need to use other methods to avoid the monotony—go offline.
After "going offline," he immediately entered deep sleep mode, with excellent results. To be honest, Yun Fuyu felt that his sleep had improved significantly since coming to this world.
……
……
Moon Festival.
Even in the pre-civilized land of China, there was a Mid-Autumn Festival, which should have been a day for family reunion. However, Yun Fuyu was temporarily assigned a mission and had to go out to fight monsters.
Hopefully, this will be resolved soon.
They met up with some unfamiliar soldiers at the designated mission location, waiting to depart at the appointed time. Suddenly, Yun Fuyu had a thought and turned to look into the distance.
Seele.
The young girl had only joined the Firemoth yesterday, and today she was already being given some basic training. She probably hadn't noticed Yun Fuyu, since his hair color was ordinary and he was wearing standard combat gear, not as eye-catching as Seele's dark blue-to-cypress short hair.
However, according to Seele's disguise plan, she should only be "fourteen years old" already. Does that mean she has to participate in training?
Just as Yun Fuyu had this thought, the mission leader called everyone to set off. He stopped thinking about it and began to focus on the mission.
The mission location is relatively close; we'll travel there by troop transport vehicle, with an estimated arrival time of one hour. There are several mission objectives, including equipment leaking Honkai energy and Honkai beasts roaming the wilderness. Yun Fuyu is simply a combat operative, but others are responsible for investigating the cause of the Honkai energy leak.
Upon arriving at the target location, an underground laboratory destroyed by an explosion, Yun Fuyu, under the leader's arrangement, immediately teamed up with a stranger to clear out and eliminate Honkai Beasts using a Honkai Energy Detector.
……
On Seele's side.
It's very similar to the previous cloud-assisted rain.
Upon waking up, I immediately looked around at my surroundings, my memories gradually returned, and I slowly adapted.
It wasn't her private campsite, nor a basement, nor the azure sky of the wilderness, but an apartment.
Through information, Yun Fuyu and Xier had imagined what it would feel like. Compared to her actual experience, she couldn't help but recall that Yun Fuyu had also had a similar experience, which made her feel somewhat complicated.
It was a little interesting, a little delightful, and a little regrettable.
After gathering at the training ground, Seele clutched her bloated stomach and secretly blamed herself, but she had to admit that the cafeteria at Firemoth was really great!
Training, when one hasn't adapted, is naturally tedious and unbearable. However, Seele is stronger than Yun Fuyu; she is a Herrscher. Although her newborn body may appear delicate like a girl's, it is actually a body meticulously crafted for her by the Herrscher of Death, ensuring formidable strength. Therefore, training that is unbearable for ordinary people is nothing to Seele, merely a bit boring.
"..."
The noise around her gradually subsided, and all eyes began to focus on her. Seele came to her senses and found a beautiful pink-haired girl standing in front of her.
She tilted her head subconsciously (not out of habit, absolutely not!), and then asked, "What's wrong?"
Alicia, with her signature bright smile, said, "Come and meet the adorable little Alicia!"
Xi'er: "..."
A little speechless.
After all, Xi'er was preoccupied with how to "coincidentally" reunite with Yun Fuyu. At this moment, a very beautiful woman spoke to her in an ambiguous manner, and she felt that there was something wrong with the world, and even more wrong with this woman.
Alicia patted Seele's head: "What's wrong? Are you touched by me? You didn't forget to say goodbye before going on a mission. I really like you!"
Seele (dying): "...Sister, you seem a little too narcissistic."
Seele admits that Alicia is very attractive, but she says she won't be swayed by a woman's beauty!
In this world, the people who have the deepest bond with Seele are her family in the orphanage, but they have all died in the Honkai, and may even have died because Seele became a Herrscher.
This is a very dark truth, and Seele herself is avoiding it, unwilling to think about it.
Therefore, under this premise, Yun Fuyu who broke into her world, Yun Fuyu who wanted to take her away from the collapse, Yun Fuyu who made a fate contract with her, Yun Fuyu who allowed Xier to retain her self-awareness... Putting aside romantic feelings, and only considering life, he is an undeniable light for her.
When her heart is occupied by someone, like Alicia who is all talk and no action, Seele finds it hard to accept.
If we assume that Seele's fabricated story is true, and that "Seele, struggling to survive in the ruins," meets someone as gentle and lively as Alicia, it would be hard not to be moved, right?
Alicia, hands on hips, said, "I'm just telling the truth, Seele. Don't hurt my feelings because you're shy."
"..."
Seele was silent for a moment, then smiled.
Yes, even now, she still finds Alicia strange, but that doesn't change the fact that she believes Alicia is indeed a kind person.
Although the young girl was burdened with worries, when she smiled from the bottom of her heart, her crescent-shaped eyebrows and slightly upturned lips were truly captivating.
She said softly, "Thank you for your care. Seele is very happy."
"..."
Alicia's eyes seemed to sparkle. And it wasn't just her; everyone around her, young and old, seemed to be the same…
Seele, Kawaii Des!
