Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

Page 4

Kevin seemed to have been more talkative than usual, perhaps because he hadn't expected to meet someone who had experienced the same thing.

"Is that so? I think the so-called collapse is just the truth of this world... unreasonable, unfair, cruel, yet powerful."

Melutina's face showed an expression Hua had never seen before; if one had to describe it, it would be an expression somewhere between "mockery" and "neuroticism."

"...Do you think this world is not a good place?"

"Of course, this world is hell, but there are always people who think they are living on earth."

"..."

Kevin remained silent, sensing a kind of... obsession within the seemingly indifferent girl in front of him.

"I'm just an ordinary person."

Kevin whispered the words he would want to say for years to come, but could never bring himself to say them.

"I don't understand profound truths. But I just don't want the people I care about to get hurt. Compared to this world..."

"Perhaps she is more important."

"Compared to this rotten world, everything is precious, Kevin. I think maybe I can be your friend."

Although Melutina's expression remained relatively unchanged, Hua intuitively sensed that she was in a rather happy state.

"How about we have a bowl of noodles and then go for a team building activity? To commemorate the friendship of three unlucky guys. My college classmates have been asking me to go out for barbecue, drinks, and karaoke late at night... but I've never gone."

"Three unlucky guys?"

Hua paused for a moment, then smiled.

"That's true. At least, so far, I've never felt lucky."

"Those who perish in the Honkai are happier, because those who survive..."

Melutina rested her chin on her hand and said...

Only then will you face despair.

"it is good."

Kevin's answer was just one word: although he came to see Mei today, he was not going to see her anyway. Besides, a gathering of three Honkai survivors was a rare occurrence.

However, eating noodles before team building activities seems to have left Kevin with a very bad habit later on.

…………

the next morning

"That's about it for now. I need to call my assistant."

"Yes, I have people I need to contact now."

May and Mebius finally ended their interim academic discussion and simultaneously took out their phones.

"Beep beep beep... The number you dialed is not being answered... Please try again later..."

The identical, even accented, phone prompts stunned both of them.

“…Dr. Mei.”

At this moment, May's assistant, seemingly realizing that the discussion had ended, walked in.

"Oh, perfect timing. Did Kevin come by yesterday?"

Mei asked.

"Yes, he happened to run into Miss Melutina. It seems the two of them went out to eat because the doctors' discussion hadn't ended."

The assistant nodded.

"……Then what?"

Mei asked.

"And then... I never saw them again."

The assistant said with an embarrassed expression.

"Hmm, is my lovely assistant with that Kevin guy?"

Möbius stroked his chin.

"Is Melutina going to take the first step into adulthood today...? No, judging from the time, she took it last night."

"No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Mei said firmly, quickly tapping a few times on her phone to display a location.

"Mei, this is illegal, and it's also morally questionable."

Mebius instantly realized that it was probably a tracking device or something similar, and he roughly understood the relationship between Kevin and Mebius.

"I don't want to discuss moral issues with you!"

Mei's lips twitched, and she turned her face away.

"Let's go take a look now."

"Huh? Is this okay? This isn't a good idea, is it?"

Mebius said hesitantly,

"What if we happen to stumble upon something utterly disgusting..."

"I'm telling you! Mebius!"

Mei's roar echoed throughout the entire research institute.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Chapter Four Plum Blossoms

"Hahahaha, hoo, hahahahaha..."

"..."

Melutina ignored the hand patting her shoulder and sat expressionlessly in the passenger seat, fastening her seatbelt.

"You didn't see Mei's expression at that moment... Hahahahahaha..."

As Möbius started the car, he patted Melutina on the shoulder, laughing uncontrollably.

"How...how did you get so drunk...in that position?"

"I have no memory of what happened during the trip, so I don't know."

Melutina's eyes flickered.

"However, buying karaoke prepaid cards was a good decision, even though the money on the cards has all been deducted... but at least you held out until we got there... Pfft!"

"...I'd rather be kicked out of the store because I don't have enough money."

Melutina, unusually showing disgust, brushed Möbius's hand away.

"Doctor, please drive carefully."

"Good good..."

Mebius's smile faded, he stepped on the gas with his right foot and said,

“Melutina, while I was asleep, you and Mei seemed to have been talking for a long time in the coffee shop... What were you talking about?”

"...The Fusion Warrior Project."

Although Melutina didn't mean to ask this, Mei gave her this as the answer.

"Is that so? A great plan, isn't it? Oh, you might have some psychological trauma, but for humans, that's something that can't be ignored... evolution."

Mebius smiled, his eyes sparkling.

"I have no shadows."

Melutina said softly, then added after a moment,

"...I have no trauma from Honkai Beasts."

"Hmm? Then what exactly is hell in your eyes?"

Möbius tilted his head, not quite understanding what she meant.

"Human beings."

"Humans?"

"Humans..."

Melutina said softly.

"More terrifying and more detestable than Honkai Beasts."

"..."
