Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

"Let me say something a 'great magician' wouldn't say: I'm glad you've become more cheerful, junior. But maybe you'd be better off staying the way you were before."

Velvi glanced at her and said

"...I'll just take it as a sign of concern for me. See you next time, senior."

"Okay, take care on your journey."

……

Watching the group walk away, Vivi's expression suddenly fell, and she let out a deep sigh.

"Acting is really not easy..."

She rubbed her face; clearly, up until now, it was the "Great Magician" Velvi who had been here all along.

"I wonder if that child will get involved..."

Wilvi scratched her head.

"Sigh, I quite like her. I hope nothing bad happens to her... You know, sometimes the difference between a hero and a villain is just a thin wall."

.........

On the vast, boundless sea, a solitary island stands.

There, lies the most terrifying hell on earth, imprisoning the world's most insane criminals.

The world's greatest mechanical genius created a cage from which she could not escape.

And the moth that chases the flame calls it—the deepest place.

In the deepest part of this deepest place, a woman prays.

She is the most important prisoner here, the most powerful psychic fusion warrior in the world, and a unique prophet.

She opened her eyes, and those beautiful blue eyes saw the future once again. She reached out her hand, as if touching something.

“I sensed the voice of destiny… but this time it wasn’t death.”

Aponia stood up. The "cell" built for her was like a church. She stood before the icon and reached out to touch it.

This was a blasphemous act, but for her, it was perfectly normal.

"I want to see you... I've wanted to see you for a long time, and now, I finally hear the whispers of fate."

It will guide us to encounter those who should have become heroes...

Like most heroes, you rose from hell to glory, only to return to hell once more.

There is no beauty in this world, and it lacks hope. Good people are destined to die young, and even the wicked perish amidst laughter.

Yes, there is no hope in this world. You must understand this again and return to the peaceful darkness.

Every illusion of happiness is a sin. Your greatest sin is wanting to believe again.

Do not look up, do not yearn, do not reach out, do not believe.

"Please prepare yourself, traveler from hell, for we will meet eventually."

Chapter Twenty-Five: I Want to Watch Over You

"I heard the ramen here is delicious, Captain."

"Then let's go, since the mission is already accomplished."

"Yay! Long live the captain!"

……

"I have a feeling that the captain has become more and more humane lately."

Salome looked at the menu and glanced at Melutina, who was getting a drink at the bar.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Li Xue didn't even look up.

"After all, we were in the poisonous pupa before... It's normal for him to have some quirks at first, but the captain is a good person."

"Everyone has a past they can't talk about, right? Vice Captain Adam, your expression isn't quite right. Do you know something?"

Lewis replied.

"Yes, really... cough cough."

Adam awkwardly turned his face away.

"I've wanted to come to this shop for a long time. Danzhu recommended it to me."

Susana looked at the menu with excitement.

"Speaking of which, Danzhu mentioned to me that the captain seemed to have emotional deficiency when he was still in the Mebius Lab, but he is gradually recovering."

"This is the first time I've heard of this. Although the captain hasn't paid attention to it, there are probably many rumors about her, right?"

Salome nodded.

"Let me think, 'Mebius's assistant,' 'Qian Jie's partner,' those two alone are already quite frightening, aren't they?"

"Speaking of Qianjie, the captain fought with him not long ago and was even put in solitary confinement."

Lewis stroked his chin.

"Vice-Captain, you're here, right? Between Qianjie and the Captain, who's stronger?"

"It was more of an argument than a fight, and in the end, both of them got a good scolding from Dr. Mei."

Adam said with a wry smile,

"However, the captain should indeed be the only one who dares to say 'Please come over here' to Qianjie."

"Is it that exciting? This is the Thousand Tribulations!"

Salome couldn't help but feel a deep respect for their captain.

"After all, apart from Captain Qianjie, they've never teamed up with anyone else, and a small number of people think they actually have impure relationships..."

Li Xue interrupted,

"But no matter what, it's impossible to date Qianjie. We can't even communicate."

"But there's a rumor in The Moth Who Chases Fire that the face under the Thousand Calamities Mask is really handsome."

Susana looked up and said.

"He is quite handsome."

A voice rang out.

"Right, right! Um... Captain..."

Upon realizing who was speaking, Susana's voice immediately softened.

"The world has really changed now; everyone's starting to get interested in the Thousand Tribulations?"

Melutina sat down and said helplessly.

"No, we just had a chat. After all, regardless of whether he's good or bad, that guy is definitely conspicuous, isn't he?"

Ritsuki shrugged.

"But, Captain, have you seen Qianjie's face before?"

"After all, his mask wasn't made of diamond, so it's not surprising that it broke... But the current mask was made by Senior Sister Velvi, so it should be quite sturdy."

Melutina thought for a moment and then said.

"Huh? Was the mask Qianjie is wearing a gift from the captain?"

Salome was taken aback.

"Yes, Captain Alicia said that gifts are a necessary means to enhance relationships."

Melutina nodded.

"That, that person..."

"That person's words..."

"I really can't handle that person..."

When Alicia was mentioned, the members of the third squad all showed subtle expressions.

Alicia is undeniably famous within the Firemoth, but whether that fame is infamous or praiseworthy is hard to say.

He has popularity, ability, and experience.

Her behavior is always unpredictable.

"But compared to Miss Alicia, Qianjie is even more insane. I don't understand what he's thinking at all."

Salome shook her head.

"Is he insane?"

Melutina, however, did not think so.

"Perhaps it's not him who's crazy, it's everyone else who's crazy."

"Ugh, Captain, what you're saying sounds scary..."

Susana shuddered.

"This is just a metaphor for Susana. If everyone is wrong, then the only one on the right path is a madman... Of course, Qianjie's attitude is not commendable, and he deserves to be disliked."

But that guy was indeed the most "upright" person Melutina had ever met.

...............

"Captain, can I ask you something?"
