Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

"At least it's powerful enough."

Mebius took the "unfair contract" and loosened the ropes binding Mebius.

"This is extortion! This is coercion! This is trespassing!"

Mei roared the moment she was released.

"Mebius, even you..."

"Gah~"

"..."

Following Mebius's gaze, Anuanuabus II placed his hand on Mebius's shoulder.

"It's alright, Mei. Everyone's treating today's events as a joke."

Alicia patted May on the shoulder to comfort her.

"...Don't you think that's the real problem?"

Mei said with a dark face.

"At least Kevin should come...if he sees the message."

Vervi shrugged.

"There's a competitive eating contest at his usual noodle shop today, with the winner getting a free meal. I doubt he'll have time to check the news."

Mebius replied.

"Unfortunately, I thought that after today the Fire Moth would belong to Dr. Mebius."

Melutina clenched her fist.

"Pfft! What are you thinking, kid!"

Mei spat out all the coffee she had just taken a sip of.

“Mei is my friend of many years, how could I do such a thing?”

Mebius said confidently.

"...You dare say that after attacking my office..."

"Actually, the most important work will all fall on our shoulders."

Vilvi laughed heartily.

"The truth is most hurtful at times like these..."

……

"Today's winner is Mr. Kevin!"

Wow! You're really impressive, young man!

Chapter Eight Bell

What is fate?

The world operates by chance, and one by one, the gears are stitched together to form a future that no one can predict.

However, some people do not think so.

Everything in the world goes through cycles. In the distant future, people will repeat the same cycle once again.

If all of this is not accidental, but inevitable.

This inevitability is fate.

To know the weight of fate is the most unfortunate thing in the world.

Even so, she remained steadfast and worked hard to make a change.

But the most ironic thing is that the world usually doesn't give people the results they want, and even worse...

It prefers to make things go against one's wishes.

……

"Really? That bell isn't..."

“I know, the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire, that Sakura’s sister.”

"The title 'Thirteen Heroes' seems to be gaining more and more popularity among the people."

"People in the apocalypse always have to grasp onto something, don't we? Monsters or heroes, we just hope to be saved."

"Compared to this, what exactly is this matter..."

"Don't say anything, and don't ask anything. The higher-ups are strictly forbidding leaks this time. You just need to complete your mission."

"Okay, okay... it's better not to know many things."

In the dimly lit corridor of the Moth Chaser, the two walked side by side, their faces somewhat somber.

However, they seem to have a good relationship and can even joke around with each other.

Just as the two were trying to relieve their stress in this way, a cold voice from the side road they had just passed made their hearts clench instantly.

"stop."

Just two words.

It came from the shadows of a side passage in the corridor, and when they turned around, they saw only golden vertical pupils flashing in the darkness.

“Mei…Meilu…”

"Shut up."

Melutina leaned against the shadows of the corridor. She had overheard their entire conversation. Her arms were crossed, and her eyes were filled with a menacing gaze.

"I ask, you answer."

"Mei, Melutina, please don't make things difficult for us. You know we're just following orders..."

One of them immediately began to explain in a panic, but was interrupted by a loud bang.

Melutina withdrew her hand from the wall without expression.

“You know my past. I’m not a role model like Kevin. If you don’t answer… you know the consequences.”

Melutina said coldly,

"Tell me, when did Ling get locked up?"

"One, a month ago..."

It seemed that the deterrent effect worked; instead of being defiant, they spoke honestly.

"You said... who discovered the abnormal Honkai energy on Rin's body?"

"I heard, I heard she reported it herself... Sister Melutina, I really don't know anything else, I'm just a gofer!"

"..."

Melutina glanced at them, and seeing that they weren't lying, she frowned, waved her hand, and signaled them to get lost.

"bell……"

Melutina remained alone, a vague sense of foreboding creeping over her.

……

"Thank you, Alicia."

Sakura emerged from the confinement cell, gripping her weapon tightly, and looked at her friend who wore a worried expression.

"Sakura, I know you really want to go, but remember not to act impulsively, okay?"

Alicia gave her instructions.

"Don't worry, as long as I rescue Rin... I will protect her no matter what happens."

Sakura took a deep breath, bowed to Alicia to express her gratitude, and ran off into the distance without looking back.

"Sakura! Don't push yourself!"

Alicia called after her, while trying to figure out how to keep Sakura's escape a secret.

……

"Is this where the prison bell is kept? ...Well, at least it's not in the deepest part of the prison."

At this moment, Melutina had arrived at the detention center that the two had just mentioned.

"Are we really going to break them out of prison?"

Hua stood at the back, looked around, and asked.

“Sakura will not allow Rin to be imprisoned. No matter what, we can only take the next step after we rescue Rin.”

Melutina covered her face with a black cloth and handed one to Hua.

"...That's such an old-fashioned method. It makes me feel like I'm going to rob a bank."

Hua smiled bitterly as he covered his face with a black cloth.

"Objectively speaking, what we did was far more serious than robbing a bank."

Melutina shrugged, peeked out from behind the cover, and observed the nearby guards.

"It's not too late to withdraw now."

"No need."

Hua shook his head.

“On this point, I agree with you. Sakura will never allow a group of strangers to detain Rin. If Rin is in danger, we will take care of her. That way, Sakura will be more accepting.”
