Chapter 108 Welcome Party and Gretsch

"What is called beauty is a rehearsal for tragedy. What is called tragedy is beauty after it has been torn apart."

—Excerpt from Nino's "Sorrow"

……

"...That might be a bit impolite."

Melutina tilted her head back slightly, her face furrowing slightly each day.

Are you out of your mind?

"I'm very good."

Qianjie said impatiently.

"It couldn't be better."

"Um, so you mean, because Aponia is coming back this time, you're going to throw her a... welcome party? The kind I think so?"

Melutina hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Huh? What do you mean? Is it strange that I'm holding a welcome party? That woman has taken good care of me, so this is just me returning the favor." (At this time, Sakura's tragedy had not yet occurred, and Senju and Aponia had a fairly good relationship.)

Qianjie curled his lip.

"This is Alicia's advice to me."

"I see... then I'm not so surprised."

Melutina nodded.

"If it's only a thousand tribulations, who else have you called upon?"

"...Do you know about the little girl who was sent to the deepest place before?"

Qianjie said calmly.

"what……"

Melutina showed a look of disgust.

"Are you talking about Gretchen's incident? I almost wiped out a certain unit; it was a horrible thing to do."

"Ha, what do you think? It seems we won't be parting ways for the time being."

Qianjie snorted.

“Aponia seems to have taken on the role of the child’s guardian, and she felt it was inappropriate for her to stay in prison, so she brought her back this time.”

"Hmm... I'm not surprised by that. So, this is actually a welcome party for Gretchen? Should we invite Dr. Möbius?"

"Ha, I don't want to see that woman. You can take her to see her yourself later."

Qianjie showed a look of disgust.

"I only called you, and... that kitten."

"...Hmm, a class reunion on Twilight Street? There's no need to invite me, is there?"

Melutina paused for a moment, then asked.

"Huh? That brat, no way? And that kitten, if you weren't here, would she dare come here alone?"

Qianjie waved his hand, seemingly preparing to leave.

"Hmm, ignoring her resistance, I can bring her here."

Melutina didn't intend to refuse.

"I want to ask you something before I leave."

"ask."

"Have you ever heard of someone named Agnes? I feel like I've heard something about her..."

"Clap."

Qianjie tossed a book over without turning his head and then left.

"kindness?"

Melutina looked down at the book and noticed a photograph had been added inside—

It's a photo of Nino embracing that beautiful silver-haired girl.

On the back of the photo is her familiar signature, with both of their names written on it.

"what……"

Melutina suddenly realized, then her expression became even more gloomy.

"That's strange. If I've been in contact with Nino, why is the Honkai energy detection reading zero?"

……

The next day

"Aunt Melutina."

"Long time no see, Gretchen. I have lollipops, chocolate bars and toffee here. If you'd like to replace Auntie with Sister, I'll give them all to you."

"Thank you, Aunt Melutina. Gretchen doesn't want any candy right now."

"..."

"Hmm...that's surprising...I thought you weren't the type to care about these kinds of things..."

Aponia spoke at her usual half-speed, then smiled and looked at Padofilis.

"This person over here... it's been a long time..."

"To...to settle the final accounts?!"

Padofilis's eyes widened.

"You're alright! Even though I saw Jie, I didn't dare ask him anything... back then..."

"cough."

Melutina coughed, interrupting the conversation.

She can't very well say that it was your Sister Ying who demolished the sanatorium back then, can she?

"Hehe... Come to think of it, I haven't asked you yet... what's your name?"

Aponia smiled and didn't bring up the topic.

“Padofilis, you can just call me Padof or Phyllis.”

"So, Patho... I never expected you to become a fusion warrior... Were you also forced into this situation?"

Aponia seemed a little sad.

"After all, we are..."

"This guy isn't exactly desperate."

Melutina reached out and tapped her on the head, stopping her from boasting.

"She tried to freeload at the Fire Moths, but ended up with the volunteers instead. Luckily, she ran into Dr. Mebius, and even luckier that the surgery was successful."

"What an amazing adventure... So, Qianjie... this welcome party is... noodles?"

Aponia, with her arm around Gretsch, looked at the noodles in front of her with some uncertainty.

"Huh? Isn't this the designated gathering for the Fire Moths?"

Qianjie crossed his arms and turned his head, seemingly asking the question very seriously.

"Kevin... he really is a deeply sinful man..."

.........

Moths that chase fire

Male Apartment

"Ah!"

Kevin, who was loosening the soil, pinched his nose and looked around curiously.

"What's wrong? Did you inhale pollen?"

Su, who was watering the plants, asked curiously.
