Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

Möbius walked out with a gloomy expression.

"Your reproductive isolation from Honkai Beasts?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Kevin turned and walked away, faster than average.

"Hey, Möbius, you're finally out! I thought something had happened to you."

Alicia greeted them cheerfully.

"Thank you for your kind words, I'm doing very well."

Mebius snorted.

"Moreover, Melutina, haven't you given the mark to that lightning... lightning, the Herrscher of Lightning yet?"

Tsk, I always called her Little Guinea Pig, but I forgot her real name.

"No."

"why?"

"Because if we continue to imprint her, the Doctor might be defeated."

Melutina is being honest.

then……

"It hurts!"

"I'll lose? Are you kidding me? With that lightning-themed Herrscher?"

Mebius punched Melutina on the forehead, his face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Interesting. You're already going to fight her? That lightning thing... Herrscher."

Qianjie, who had squatted back down at the bar, asked with great interest.

"That Lei... once she gets the mark, she'll have strength close to the Doctor's. If an external force intervenes at that point, things could get complicated."

Melutina said honestly.

"that……"

Alicia looked left and right.

"Didn't any of you remember Mei's name?"

"I remember now."

Melutina nodded.

"Ray Mei".

"It's Raiden Mei."

Alicia pressed her forehead and corrected her.

"So Mei isn't popular in Paradise?"

"Her problem."

Mebius and Melutina answered instantly.

"Hmph, not interested. I just want to know when I can tear her apart."

Qianjie jumped off the bar and walked away with an air of indifference, as if he didn't recognize anyone.

"I'll go see Gretchen."

Melutina also stood up.

"She should be awake by now."

"You've really gone through a lot, Melutina?"

Alicia said with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's just that she wants to ride a horse again..."

Melutina said somewhat awkwardly,

"Who should we look for this time? Last time it was Su, this time..."

"Why not just use Patofilis? As long as you pay her, she'll be happy to play with Gretchen."

Mebius said casually.

“I made a bet with Qianjie last time. If I lost, he would have to do something for me unconditionally.”

Melutina pondered.

"However, I could go to Patto's to buy a camera."

"Remember to send me a copy of the photo?"

Alicia spoke immediately.

"Me too. I'm going to hang it on the lab bench."

Mebius also said.

"Mebius, so next... how about we go play pool?"

Alicia then asked with a smile.

"it is good."

"Sigh, I knew you would... Huh? You agreed?"

Alicia was taken aback.

"I'm pretty bored today, how about we add a bet?"

Mebius said indifferently.

"Hmm... if you lose, let Klein give me a massage!"

Alicia immediately said.

"Okay, but if you lose, you'll have to be responsible for tricking Kevin into coming to my lab table."

"Okay, you really hold a grudge... But, this seems quite interesting."

.........

"Did you die in the line of duty, Raven?"

"Hey, Raiden Mei, is that what you said first?"

Raven said helplessly as he watched Raiden Mei walk out of the Paradise Trial.

"You said you accepted a commission from someone, is that Gray Serpent?"

"Compared to this, have you seen a chubby baby with a terrible temper in Paradise?"

The raven clearly didn't want to answer the first question, but instead asked a different one.

"Yes, and her name is Melutina."

Raiden Mei nodded.

"So I really did run into her? Sigh..."

The raven recalled its painful past and felt somewhat sad.

"You know her too?"

Raiden Mei sat down next to her and asked.

"Where do you think my Seven Thunders of Purification came from?"

The raven rolled its eyes.

"But don't you know Melutina from Anti-Entropy?"

"She in paradise doesn't know me, and..."

Raiden Mei shook her head.

"Her attitude toward me was particularly bad, but it didn't seem like it was directed at me."

“Melutina wouldn’t target someone without a reason. Perhaps it’s related to your purpose in coming to Paradise.”

The raven shrugged.

"In any case, I can only advise you not to fight her. She is a being that even a Herrscher cannot defeat."

“I know, from that day on.”

Raiden Mei said calmly,

"I simply don't believe her claim of being 'too weak to even kill a chicken' anymore."

Besides, the mark of [Purgatory]? If Dr. Linnaeus had been more truthful, things would have gone much more smoothly for me this time.”

.........

"Uncle Qianjie, it's so heartwarming."

Gretchen sat on Qian Jie's lap and nodded.

"..."

Qianjie lay there silently, his expression hidden behind the mask.

Chapter Four: The Great Demon King Medie decides to beat her up as a sign of goodwill.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! Mei-san is back! Raiden Mei-san, who beat up Mebius, is back?!"

……

Paradise Hall

"Kevin, how much longer do we need to leave that?"
