Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

"Then... what about Velvi?"

“Vilvie?... Ah, isn’t she... right above you…”

Eden raised his right hand, looking happy, though he still seemed a bit drunk.

"..."

Mei's expression was as if she had seen a ghost. She stiffly looked up and saw Wilvi, who was "hanging" unconscious from the ceiling, firmly fixed by the device behind her.

"She said...she was going to perform for me...a trapeze act!"

"...Hopefully she really is a high-flyer, and not playing a victim in some detective drama."

Mei felt that she was able to successfully erase her teenage innocence thanks to these two guys, who shattered her "idol dream" into nothingness.

"Victim? Ah... I remember that... Grim Reaper, what... Grim Reaper Loli?"

"Why is it a loli...?"

Mei smiled bitterly.

"Eden, do you know about Qianjie and the others?"

"Thousand Tribulations? What happened to Thousand Tribulations...?"

"Eden asked, still half-asleep," Eden asked.

"If you don't know, that's fine. Just get some rest."

May was relieved to know that Eden was not involved.

She didn't want to see these two guys acting so smug and fearless.

"call……"

Seeing Eden fall asleep again quickly, May sighed, sat on the sofa, put her legs up on the unconscious Möbius, and even hummed a couple of times in cooperation.

"I'll take a nap too... This isn't skipping work, I'm here to take care of important business, um, it's not skipping work."

After comforting herself for a while, Mela took the little pig doll next to her and closed her eyes.

…………

At this time, Gaia City, the second largest city on the Mu Continent

This is the second largest human city on the Mu Continent, second only to the city where the Firemoth's headquarters is located. The population of the urban area alone exceeds one million, making it a true modern metropolis.

Gaia University

Kendo Club

"Waaah!"

A burly man was knocked down with a single sword strike, falling to the ground in a disheveled state, and helplessly tossed the bamboo sword aside.

"Chitori, you've gotten stronger again... What's wrong with you lately? Did you eat something strange?"

"Why did I have to eat some weird stuff to become stronger...?"

The young red-haired woman standing in front of him said with dissatisfaction,

"But I've been feeling unusually good lately... I feel lighter."

"That's not just being in good shape, it's monstrous! Are you really an engineering student?"

The man curled his lip.

"This isn't something I'm saying to the younger generation. Besides, I idolize Dr. Mei, and my future ambition is to join the First Science Department of the Fire-Chasing Moth!"

Qian Duliu's eyes lit up with starlight.

"That Dr. Mei... are you from the same hometown as her?"

"It's barely acceptable, after all, Changkong City is quite far from where I live."

Chitoru shrugged.

"I think Dr. Velvi's engineering department or Dr. Möbius's lab would be a better fit for you... Ouch!"

The man laughed, only to be kicked hard.

"That's not a place a normal person should go, is it?"

Chitose said irritably.

"We're the third-ranked university in the world, so we should have plenty of career options, right?"

"That's true... but the second-best school in the world is gone now, isn't it?"

The man's playful expression vanished, and he sighed.

"...The one in Australia? Dr. Velvet graduated from there, right?"

Qian Duliu frowned slightly.

"Really? I thought that person must have graduated from the world's number one university!"

The man was shocked instead.

"Idiot, their mechanics and biology are the best in the world."

Qian Duliu Fu'e

"Don't you like Dr. Wilvy the most? Why don't you know?"

"What I like about her magic is her nice body!"

"...For the sake of humanity, you'd be better off dying."

Qian Du revealed an obvious expression of disgust.

"I have something to do later, so I'll be going now."

"What? You have a boyfriend?"

"No way!"

Slamming the door shut, Qian Duliu walked towards the campus, looking at the various recruitment sites around him, thinking that it was that time of year again.

However, she unconsciously stopped at a certain station—

Recruiting volunteers for fusion warrior surgery.

"A school like this actually recruits soldiers... I thought it only recruited civilian staff."

Qian Duliu muttered a few words.

"Have."

The cold voice went straight into her ears, startling Qian Duliu.

The man sitting silently at the station looked up. His face, which was almost too handsome, was unusually cold. When his blue eyes looked at you, it felt like your whole body would freeze...

Perhaps only the cup of noodles in front of him brought him a sense of reality.

"that……"

Qian Duliu looked around and, seeing that he seemed to be alone, said awkwardly,

Are you talking to me?

"Yes."

Kevin nodded at the man.

"The fusion warriors are not directly related to the schools they graduated from. Sue, Mebius, Vervie, Melutina... they all graduated from world-renowned universities."

"..."

Indeed, Chitose suddenly realized.

These names were so dazzling that she didn't immediately connect them to herself.

Her attempt to arbitrarily link fusion warriors with soldiers and military academies is truly superficial.

"I'm sorry, I was too shallow... It's so cold!"

Thinking of this, Chizuru bowed and apologized, but as she got a little closer to Kevin because of this action, a cold wind blew across her face, giving her a real chill.

"Due to my physical condition, please don't get too close."

Kevin said calmly.

"..."

However, although……

How can anyone fill out a registration form like this? Are you even ten meters away?

Qian Duliu's lips twitched, but he was too embarrassed to complain.

"If you are interested, please feel free to contact us."

Kevin nodded. Alicia was supposed to come, but…

Concealing information always comes at a price; he has to do Alicia's mission as well.

"well……"

The rumors that the Fire-Chasing Moths are all weirdos are true...
