Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

With two weak pats, Ziyao gave up.

She was held and cuddled like a cat for several minutes until a phone call rang, finally freeing her from the soft, suffocating embrace.

Beyond the quantum realm, the real Durandal is also quite interested in being called "older sister."

In the video, Big Duck only breathed a sigh of relief after there was only one person left in the room again.

There was a diary on the table, and next to it was a Houmu electronic alarm clock.

【2022年12月5日-9:35】

Six years later...?

Puzzled, the girl opened the diary, and found that the handwriting was exactly the same as her own.

On November 20th, I made up my mind: I want to become as amazing as my older sister.

'November 21st, weather... I don't know, it's so cold. Lying in bed looking at my sister's photos.'

'November 22nd, looking at my sister's photo... Wait, what am I doing?!'

'November 23rd, Nightingale, oh Nightingale, how could you be so depraved? You promised to exercise!'

'November 24th, generated electricity using my sister's photo.'

"......"

Ziyao rubbed her throbbing temples.

The owner of this diary is definitely not myself.

Who the serious person keeps a diary?

As you continue flipping through the pages, the diary entries become fragmented, suggesting that the author was rather lazy and didn't consistently keep writing.

Through fragmented information, Ziyao learned that in order to fight against the Honkai, former Bishop Otto set extremely strict rules.

Anyone corrupted by the Honkai must be sent for purification.

If someone shows signs of corruption, they will be observed as needed, and if problems arise, they will be sent for purification.

The newly appointed bishop, Durandal, in particular, enforced this rule extremely strictly.

This is why this city is one of the few places in the world that has escaped the erosion of collapse.

"Beep beep—"

The communicator on the table rang.

Come over to my place at noon.

Bronya sent her a very short message with the word 'Captain' added after her name.

"Looks like I need to go see lovely Bronya."

Looking at herself in the mirror, Ziyao picked up a comb, brushed back the stray hairs around her ears, and then tied her hair up with a hair tie.

Leaving the room, I found myself in a world of ice and snow.

Thanks to the Valkyrie's excellent physical condition, she only felt a slight chill.

As you walk down the street, you'll occasionally encounter a Valkyrie on guard duty.

Because she got the vice-captain position through connections, they looked at her strangely.

Ziyao chose a deserted path, but while walking, she wasn't paying attention and accidentally kicked a cardboard box.

"Woo..."

A faint mournful cry came from inside the cardboard box.

Looking down, I saw a beautiful young girl in light clothing curled up inside, her cheeks flushed.

———Seele Vollerai.

She recognized him instantly.

Ziyao picked up the girl and felt each other's warmth with her forehead.

Oh no, I have a fever.

Volume 1: Chapter 180 Seele's Lost Path to the End

An endless nightmare.

Drizzling,

It felt like waiting for an endless downpour, leaving me standing helplessly by the bus stop.

I thought the painful experience would end soon, but it turned out to be the beginning of a long journey.

It's been too long.

There was nothing there, just endless white and black, a completely empty space.

Consciousness is incredibly small in this process, and gradually, one can no longer perceive the passage of time.

Like a computer that has no instructions, she eventually let her mind go blank.

"Seele, Seele?"

In the blur, my parched throat was moistened by a fishy sweetness, and I could vaguely see a dark figure.

The girl busied herself with taking care of her, and after things settled down, she sat beside her and held her hand to put her mind at ease.

It's warm and gentle.

Like the warm rays of sunlight filtering through the clouds after a rainstorm.

Unfortunately, her consciousness was too blurred, as if she were half-awake and half-asleep, unable to see reality clearly.

That gentle feeling was so captivating that Seele longed to experience it a little longer.

As we focused our attention once more, another two hours passed intermittently.

The person in front of her had transformed into a familiar silver-haired girl, sitting beside her pillow and looking at her with concern.

"Ahem... Where's the girl with black hair from earlier...?"

Having not spoken for a long time, the girl's voice was a little hoarse.

This time she finally came to her senses.

"Don't get up yet, your fever hasn't gone down. I just gave you some fever-reducing medicine."

Another version of myself, are we dreaming?

When I opened my eyes, there was an unfamiliar ceiling and a soft bed.

It is no longer an unchanging, pure white prison.

Seele asked herself.

Of course not, you idiot.

That guy wasn't lying; he really let us out.

Seele, if we can find the Gem of Desire, we can leave this place.

Hei Xi in the consciousness space was also very weak, after all, they shared one body.

Young birds will regard the first creature they see as an important person.

Having drifted in the quantum sea for so long, she had never seen anyone else; she was all alone.

She instinctively reached out to hold onto the hard-won warmth.

You mean Yao?

"She went to find your medicine and won't be back for a few days."

He helped Seele up; the girl was petite, but surprisingly well-endowed.

"Who are you.....?"

"Seele, don't you remember me?"

"I'm sorry, Seele doesn't remember."

Ziyao smiled and said, "Six years ago, who was it that said they wanted to marry me?"

"Eh, marriage?"

Seele asked in surprise.

"Have you forgotten? This is such an important thing."

Ziyao pretended to be sad and reached out to wipe away non-existent tears.

The naive Seele was immediately fooled and hurriedly searched her memories while comforting Ziyao.

"Seele is 17 years old now, her best friend is Bronya, and there's another Seele...."

The girl hesitated, for she had long lost her sense of time; it was Hei Xi who kept track of it for her.

"We've got the answer; let's delve a little deeper."

Holding Xier's delicate wrist, Ziyao guided her.

"Bronya?"

Seele asked in confusion, noting that the silver-haired girl in front of her looked about 70% like her.

"You got it right. As a reward, I'll give you a Houmu toy."

"How is that possible...?"

"What's impossible?" the girl sighed softly, picking up the digital clock from the table.

The date displayed above is 2022, intended to tell Seele that her memory is wrong.

They had been married for several years when, due to a special accident, Seele lost her memory.

"We were so young back then, it's really nostalgic to think about it now."

Ziyao was talking nonsense with a straight face.

Seele still has some doubts about her amnesia.
