Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

"Mebius?"

"Vell...Vie?"

"What are you doing here?!" x2

Chapter Six: I Understood

Rewind two hours

At this moment, Möbius, who had just escaped from his home and casually broke his phone in two and threw it away, sat expressionlessly on a park bench, hugging his knees...

Because she didn't bring her wallet.

And she had just lost her phone.

"Damn it... Is this also Mei's curse...?"

As Möbius watched the tourists enjoying boat rides on the lake, he thought to himself that he should take a long vacation.

"Hmm, Mebius?"

Just then, a blind friend... sorry, a man who looks blind happened to pass by.

Seeing Mebius crouching on the bench with his legs tucked in, looking like a tiny animal waiting to be adopted.

After a brief moment of distraction, Su's eyes widened suddenly, his hands trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath...

"Hello, Möbius, I didn't expect to see you here."

"...Aren't you having a lot on your mind?"

Mebius was stunned.

"I'm sorry, even I couldn't have foreseen this situation."

Su thought for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Um...you were kicked out of the house by Cangxuan and Danzhu?"

Are you sure you haven't made a mistake with your subject?

Mebius glared at him.

"Hmm...is that Melutina?"

"Why are you using my being kicked out of my home as a premise to advance the conversation? Is your brain filled with mush?"

Mebius's face turned pale.

"Isn't that right? But you... could it be..."

Su suddenly thought of a possibility,

"It's Alicia!"

"You idiot, that's not true!"

……

"I see, it's about the Stigmata Project."

After Su politely took out a few large-denomination bills from his wallet and bought two sandwiches and milk tea from the shop next door, Mebius didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

"I don't want to change it anymore. If she has any other opinions, let her change it herself."

Finally getting to eat lunch, Möbius licked his lips and then pursed them.

"Ideological clashes? It's quite rare to see you and Mei talking like that, but it's understandable."

Su nodded.

"Huh? I thought you were a staunch supporter of Mei. What, aren't you going to stand by her side and punish my evil and cruelty?"

“I never thought that way, Möbius. Even if we have different ideas, the fact that you, Möbius, and Vervière are the greatest scientists of this era will not change.”

Su shook her head.

"Although I cannot agree with most of your views, I have never thought that Mei is a 'good person' in a broad sense from a human perspective."

"What do you think of the thirteen heroes that Alicia mentioned?"

“If possible, I would certainly prefer to get along with the rest of my companions. I support that, and I don’t think… well, except for you. I also don’t think anyone other than you would abuse their power.”

Su thought for a moment and then said.

"Hmph... You're still so naive. The Thirteen Heroes system itself has its significance, both for the world and for Alicia."

Tragically, humanity remains mired in fear of the unknown, even of its own kind.

Mebius gave a sarcastic look.

“I don’t deny that. I think this system should be adopted, not rejected.”

Su said,

“But even so, Alicia still wants to accomplish this. I choose to support her, at least I myself will consider myself a part of this whole. Because, I may not even trust May, but I cannot doubt Alicia’s sincerity.”

"Of course, whether objectively or subjectively speaking, Alicia's level of trust is far higher than Mei's, but Sue, just as ideals and reality cannot be reconciled, what remains in this world in the end is only a cold and cruel reality."

Just as we now have to place our hopes on the next era, but Sue… don’t you think that for you, for Eden, and even for many others, this already means annihilation?”

Mebius countered with a question.

"We all know that this world is not a good place, but we still have the right to choose the path we desire. I am simply following my own heart and asking for nothing more."

"I feel the same way about this. Wait... Sue, what's that photo?"

"Huh? This is Kevin's account. It seems he got stood up by May today, so he invited Vervi and Melutina instead."

Somo stroked his chin.

"That's not hard to understand, but aren't they eating noodles?"

Mebius picked up Sue's phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Is this Su? What happened?"

"it's me."

"Doctor? What's wrong? Why are you holding Su's phone?"

"...I won't explain that now. Anyway, I don't have my phone or house key right now. Where are you? I'll come find you."

"Well, I'm fine with it. But why don't you just go back to the lab and find Senior Sister Cangxuan and the others?"

"That's why I contacted you—because I didn't want to go back."

"Oh, oh. Then go to XX in front of XXX's door, I'll wait for you there, and Su will bring you there. Anyway, he's either planting vegetables or on his way to plant vegetables."

……

Ten minutes later

"This is?"

"Movie tickets."

Melutina handed the movie ticket to Mebius.

"I recommend you take a look. This is a script written by Alicia..."

Moreover, Senior Sister Wilvi has already gone inside.

"Huh? Why would I..."

"If you want to take a break, you have to learn how to have fun, right? Right now, this is the only movie playing."

Melutina said.

"……All right."

"I just received a call from Senior Sister Danzhu, saying that Senior Sister Cangxuan is about to die suddenly and is foaming at the mouth and is being resuscitated."

Melutina then continued.

"Forehead?"

"So I'm going to check now, Sue, could you please give me a ride?"

"it is good."

Su, who could never reach the small vegetable garden, nodded.

"Well then, this is my spare phone. See you later."

"A spare phone? You have something like that?"

Möbius raised an eyebrow.

"One is used to receive messages, and the other is used to play games. Because writing lab reports on the computer used to be very tiring, I don't really like playing games and sitting at the table."

Melutina explained.

"Oh……"

"Anyway, please relax these next few days. I just knocked out the Moth of Fire who was looking for you and threw him into a nearby trash can."

Melutina then continued.

"Eh?"

"So please rest assured, I will take responsibility."

"No, what are you saying..."

Mebius felt that this guy seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Please rest assured, I understand everything."

Melutina smiled confidently.

"..."
