Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

Ugh?

Melutina:

I am now a member of the emergency response team, and we will have full authority to handle any unusual situations that go beyond the usual procedures.

cherry:

us?

Melutina:

It's better if you don't know the meaning of "们".

cherry:

I hope you can tell me the truth.

Melutina:

There's also Kevin and Alicia.

cherry:

Will I ever be able to come back to this monastery, or rather, this area, again?

Melutina:

Of course you can. You can come anytime after the matter is resolved.

cherry:

My concern is that once the issue is resolved, this area will be physically removed from the map!

Melutina:

Sakura, that's not right of you. We're professionals.

cherry:

If I remember correctly, your major is hands-on rather than brain-based. Although I'm not qualified to say this, do you really understand that the key to this incident is finding clues, not covering it up?

Melutina:

We'll use our brains when necessary; after all, we still have Captain Alicia, right?

cherry:

She'll only cheer when you and Kevin are tearing the house apart. Forgive my bluntness, but what you call an emergency is the arrival of the Herrscher, not the death of a few people in the monastery.

Melutina:

This is something Mei hastily put together to transfer us away from the front lines, but who knew it would actually come in handy... That's not important, what's important is that we have something to do.

cherry:

You just said who knows, right?

Melutina:

You misheard.

cherry:

Moth Chasing Fire Headquarters

"Melutina! Drive! GoGoGo! Kevin, where's Kevin?"

Alicia picked up her backpack and looked around.

"I'm already sitting in the passenger seat."

Melutina pulled out her driver's license, then took a piece of candy from Mebius's pocket and put it in her mouth.

"Doctor, we'll be going now."

"Yes, remember not to demolish the monastery."

Mebius said without looking up.

Mei, who was in the hospital at the time—

"...The sky is so blue."

Mei, whose health was compromised due to the Blank Key, lay in bed, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

Outside her hospital room, a large notice read—

Velvi and Honkai Beasts are not allowed to enter.

……

"Mission complete, our work is finished."

"Great……"

"Phyllis, you stay."

"what?"

Sakura waved to Vera and Jona.

"No, Sister Ying, where are we?"

Padofilis was dumbfounded.

"You and the emergency response team that arrives later will continue the mission."

Sakura hesitated for a moment, then patted Padophilia's shoulder heavily.

"If a fight breaks out, stay far away, or hide behind Alicia."

"..."

Padofilis was dumbfounded.

……

"..."

Agnes quietly closed the book and placed it on the table beside her.

"Agnes, she didn't give you any trouble, did she?"

The old nun asked with some concern.

"Just some trivial issues, nothing to worry about."

Agnes kept her face down, as calm as ever.

"You're probably just as happy as they are, after all, the dean is still dead."

“Agnes, you…”

The old nun's face turned pale, and she hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but unable to.

"I'm not mocking you, you don't need to look at me like that."

Agnes stroked the book and sighed.

“Miss Nino’s statement, ‘The reason a saint is a saint is not because she is a saint, but because no one in the world is a saint,’ is truly insightful. Where in this world are there saints?”

(P.S. The author knows how to use single and double quotation marks, but is too lazy to change them, hehe.)

“…Nino?”

The old nun paused for a moment.

“A well-known freelance writer. Several years ago, I was harassed by a group of journalists who wanted to get to the bottom of what happened back then. I was really grateful for her help.”

Agnes opened the cover and looked at the familiar notes.

“I like her very much. I call her Sister Nino, and she calls me Sister Aegonice.”

“...Agnes”.

The old nun frowned.

"That's not important, and I don't care who this Nino is. What I care about is..."

"What you care about is whether I've revealed anything, and if so, how much."

Agnes stood up and looked at the old man with her beautiful, jewel-like eyes.

"You actually care about your reputation that much? What happened?"

"This is none of your business."

"so."

Agnes put her hands behind her back and looked at the old nun.

What I want to say, what I don't want to say, who I like, and who I don't like—what does it have to do with you?

"Agnes".

The old nun was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice,

Neither of us can become saints, neither of us.

Chapter 100 Nino Special: Vanessa's Birthday Party

"Uh, François's scandal?"

Nino swallowed the sandwich in his mouth and took the orange juice that Melutina handed him.

Yes, is there?

Melutina sat down next to her.

"There are plenty of rumors, you can make one up if you really want. What did that young master do to offend you?"

Nino asked curiously.
