Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

Melutina said,

"However, well... cough cough, young Yang is still going strong, his skills haven't diminished over the years."

"...Sister, I don't think I'm old yet."

Walter said helplessly.

"But the Star Core Hunter's objective is still unclear, and the star core inside his body is also a problem."

"This doesn't give us a reason to stand idly by, does it? Since we can't just sit idly by, then we shouldn't overthink it."

Melutina said,

"What's the next stop?"

"Yaliluo VI".

Himeko said,

"If nothing unexpected happens, we should pass through there to reach the next jump node."

"Every time you say that, it means something bad is going to happen..."

Melutina said helplessly.

"Emergency situation."

Himeko said while drinking her coffee.

"Ok?"

Melutina, who was slurping noodles, looked up.

"They've lost contact. I think you should go down and check on them."

Himeko said,

"After all, this is their first mission, and it's best to have someone watching over them."

"Well……"

Melutina glanced at the swirling snow below, then looked at Himeko.

"How about we send Xiao Yang?"

"Walter went last time."

Himeko said calmly.

“…Okay, I’ll go.”

Melutina understood what she meant and reluctantly put down the bowl of noodles.

"I'll go get a warm coat."

"I don't mind you going."

Himeko smiled.

"After all, if all else fails, just beat them all down and bring March 7th and the others up."

"..."

I knew it.

"...So, this land has been stagnant and isolated for many years?"

Melutina, perched atop a Silvermane Iron Guard, yawned.

"And now the ruling party is creating a hierarchical system, protecting only the upper echelons?"

"The Great Guardian certainly has her reasons!"

The silver-maned iron guard beneath her said resentfully.

"The descendants of the city builders have also been defeated by despair... Even the followers of the Amber King cannot withstand the passage of time."

Melutina ignored him, turning her head to look at the monsters approaching from afar, and frowned.

"Nanook's army... is it really that serious?"

"You, you get down here! I, I can't let them into Belberg!"

"Hey, you were pretty docile when you were getting beaten up, but now you're showing some backbone."

Melutina patted his head.

"Don't worry, I won't let them in."

"you……"

Just as the Silvermane Iron Guard below was about to say something, a huge monster reached out and covered them.

Melutina's pupils slowly contracted, eventually becoming a thin vertical line, like a ferocious beast.

The next second, a flash of lightning appeared, and the monster in front of them had vanished.

"This is called muscle memory."

Melutina patted the guard on the head.

"..."

Silvermane Iron Guard felt his head buzzing.

"I'm saying you..."

Melutina lowered her head, about to say something, when she noticed the wound on the soldier's arm. She didn't remember injuring this guy.

"Hey, hey, what time is this...?"

"Ah... Ahhhhhh!"

The Silvermane Iron Guard let out a painful howl.

"Wait, at least give me the name..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Silvermane Iron Guard had already knocked Melutina away and then turned his claws toward her.

"stop!"

Just as the claws were about to touch Melutina, a shield appeared between them.

"you……"

Melutina, who didn't see the monster as a threat at all, looked at the blond man who had suddenly appeared.

“I am Garrison Commander Jepard Landau. You step back and hand this monster over to me!”

Mistaking Melutina's expression for panic, Jepard raised his shield, intending to kill the Silvermane Iron Guard in front of him.

"wait wait wait!"

The next second, Melutina pounced on him, and Jepard lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"What are you doing? Get out of here!"

"Name! At least let him leave his name! Or do you know him?"

Melutina tugged at Jepard's collar and said.

"I don't know. There were just too many Silvermane Iron Guards escorting the city today. I'll check the casualties when we get back..."

"So you don't know!"

Melutina slammed Jepard's head to the ground...

fainted.

"Hey you, are you even a little bit conscious? Tell me your name!"

The monster charged at Melutina, who sidestepped and pinned him to the ground by the neck.

"Aww... Aww... I... Aww..."

"No one should die without leaving anything behind! Never again!"

Melutina held him down tightly.

"Name! What's your name?!"

“Ka…Kadi…Aww…Lo…Hus…Hus…”

The monster spoke as if it were shedding tears.

But those tiny tears quickly turned into frost on her face.

"..."

Melutina applied a little force, and a "crack" sound came from her hand as she snapped the monster's neck.

"Kadilov...is that so?"

Melutina stood up.

"What an awful feel...it reminds me of the past."

……

"Welcome, Guang... bro?!"

Today, as usual, Hilova Landau was doing business when a strange woman walked in carrying her younger brother.

"Well, I asked on the way if anyone knew him, and someone told me to bring him here."

Melutina said somewhat guiltily.

"Ah? Oh...yes, that's right, I am, I'm his sister. And you are?"

Hiluva stammered.
