I've already said this isn't a life simulator!

Mei didn't look any further. She simply took off her glasses, folded them, and put them back in her pocket.

Stand up, step back, grip the seat tightly, and rise! Fall down!

Bang!

"plum?!"

Upon hearing the strange noise, Kevin rushed in, only to find a chair embedded in the screen and Mei panting heavily.

"Kevin..."

Gently tugging at her lover's clothes, she dragged her body and slowly buried herself in his embrace.

"plum?"

Kevin felt a slight dampness on his clothes.

"That's good, let's leave it like this for now... that's fine."

Mei spoke sullenly, refusing to look up.

She still remembered that she was able to embrace her lover like this because of him, because of Xiwang.

…………

"Dad...it's...finished inside."

Greta gently tugged at the hem of her stained dress and said softly.

"Oh? You finished so quickly? You must have worked so hard, my little Greta~"

Hen hid his sadness and sorrow, then hugged Gretchen in his arms, forcing a smile, and said.

"Yes, Brother Xiwang helped a lot... There's already plenty of space inside, everyone can live there."

Greta nodded gracefully.

"Is that so... I see... His song was about this... No, it was probably just a side effect. He was probably trying to solve the rainwater problem."

Hen nodded knowingly, then frowned, looking puzzled.

"But... if his [song] was to stop the rain, the [Herrscher] is dead, and control of the [Fourth Divine Key] has been regained, then..."

He raised his head and looked up at the sky, slowly expressing his doubts.

Why is the rain still falling?

tick-

It was the soft sound of raindrops falling.

…………

“[Blood relatives]...No...Please...[Blood relatives]..."

In the ocean, Skadi tries to reach the "song" flowing across the sky, and tries to save her "blood relatives".

But... she couldn't do it. At that moment, she couldn't do anything.

She could only watch as the song, flowing across the sky, took shape, and as the fleeting brilliance of the song bloomed before fading away.

After that, the song "Blood Ties"... could no longer be heard.

Her blood relatives... have left her.

She clearly wanted to protect him, clearly wanted to prevent him from being "punished," but in the end... what did she protect?

wow-

The waves surged, and the seawater gradually became turbulent.

The disappearance and the "punishment" of the most beloved child made it difficult for "Ocean" to contain its anger.

At this moment, Skadi... did not stop it, nor did she want to stop it; she even wanted to... join in.

She likes two-legged creatures, that's true, but blood relatives are more important.

And now, her blood relatives... have been harmed, attacked, and killed!

She...cannot accept it.

wow-

The surging waves delivered a strange greatsword to her side... it still bore traces of her own presence.

Skadi knew about the sword.

But at that moment, she picked it up without hesitation.

tick-

The rain fell silently.

The seawater spread silently.

The waves surged, and the ocean's revenge began.

--------

"Quick! Quick! Move fast! The seawater is coming in! There's plenty of space inside, don't worry!"

"Be careful of crowding! Do you understand? Be careful of crowding! Don't trample each other!"

The soldiers of "Moths of Fire" anxiously directed the crowd, urging the surviving civilians to enter "Utopia"... It was thanks to Gretchen that the interior space of "Utopia" was expanded, otherwise they would not have known what to do.

I heard that it was able to be completed so quickly thanks to Xi Wang... Sigh.

Upon realizing this, the soldier quickly stopped his thoughts, sighed helplessly, suppressed these ideas, and focused on arranging for the people to "take refuge."

wow-

It was the sound of seawater flowing in.

"Mei! Let's go!"

"Kevin, Alicia..."

"No matter what, let's get to a safe place first!"

chap——

However, before they could make a move, a white water blade, like a wave, swept past at lightning speed, nearly severing Mei's arm.

pat-

It's the sound of stepping on the water.

Looking back, one can see the azure sea arriving alongside a white-haired, red-eyed girl wielding a sword, wearing a somewhat familiar hunter's outfit.

Of course, what attracted their attention even more was the hat on her head.

Alicia and the others remembered that Xiwang treasured that hat, saying that he had a "friend" who really liked it, so he wanted to keep it forever... In the end, he even changed the term "friend" to "blood relative".

So... the girl in front of me... is Skadi? That killer whale Honkai Beast?

"I remember you..."

Skadi looked at the group with her indifferent crimson eyes, then raised her sword and pointed it at Alicia.

"especially you."

Then it pointed to Kevin.

"And you."

"One of them is the guy that [Blood Brother] once admired the most, but who ultimately betrayed him... "

"He claims to be a 'comrade,' but he hasn't helped him at all... this guy."

"........."

Alicia pursed her lips but did not reply.

"One is a guy who has repeatedly targeted his blood relatives, launched several campaigns against them, and injured him multiple times..."

"........."

Kevin remained silent.

"at last……"

Skadi pointed the tip of her sword at Mei, who was being protected by the two behind her.

"He's a guy who has repeatedly broken his promise to his [blood relatives]..."

wow-

The seawater surged and spread, almost instantly submerging everyone's feet.

"You... deserve to die!"

"They should be... [hunted]!"

As they raised their swords, the seawater rose high as well, as if to form waves that would engulf them.

Anyone could sense Skadi's hostility, her unmistakable killing intent and glare, and her blatant resentment.

Kevin and Alicia both reacted cautiously, but... they did not attack first.

Their goal was to buy time and prevent the seawater from reaching the people... There were still people who had not yet entered the "ideal land" for refuge, so they could not engage in too intense a battle.

???~

However, at this moment, a faint melody quietly echoed.

That was left on Alicia's crystal flower hair ornament, the power of Dawn, the melody of Dawn.

Bo~

A small, bright red fish leaped out of the azure sea, swam happily in the air for a couple of moments, and then landed between Skadi and the others.

It gently touched the tip of Skadi's sword, then swam along the blade to Skadi's side, circling her happily a few times.

"...[Blood relative], do you really like [humans] that much?"

Skadi's face showed a conflicted and reluctant expression.

The bright red fish leaped happily twice, then wiggled its tail fin twice, and swam around Skadi twice more.
