Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

"Hmm?~?"

What exactly does a social gathering involve?

"..."

"Eh?"

Velvi accidentally tripped over her Super Pulse Plasma Stola Type-0.

"Well, although I expected it, it's gotten to this point anyway..."

Mebius looked troubled.

"...A social gathering? Oh wait, Miss Sakura, wake up!"

Eden paused for a moment, but then continued shaking the overturned cup of cherry blossoms. The contents of the cup on the ground had completely evaporated, leaving it empty.

"..."

Social gathering? What's that?

Qianjie squatted on the bar, wondering whether he should pick a fight with Kevin.

"that……"

Alicia snapped out of her daze and looked troubled.

"Um, Melutina, you mentioned a social event... you mean that kind of social event? A party for single men and women?"

"That's about it. Nino told me to dress more formally."

Melutina tilted her head.

"what……"

Alicia poked her forehead with her finger when she suddenly saw Mebius raise his hand and make an X for her.

"About that!"

"Well, do you have any constructive suggestions?"

Melutina nodded.

"Why don't you just not go?"

Alicia tentatively asked.

"Huh? Does the Firemoth organization have some kind of team-building activity?"

Melutina was taken aback.

"Well... cough cough cough, yes! There will be some tonight."

Alicia coughed twice in a mock manner, then looked around.

"You all agree, right?"

"Yes, everyone is going."

Mebius was the first to raise his hand.

"Go, why wouldn't you go?"

Vilvi stood up, leaning on her new robot.

"I do not……"

“We’re all going, Qianjie and Ying are going too.”

Eden instantly stepped aside to block Qianjie, and said with a smile.

"I see... It's alright, I'm coming tomorrow."

Melutina nodded, and then said.

"bright……?!"

Alicia's expression froze, and Mebius frantically gestured to Melutina from behind again.

"Tomorrow... cough, there will be some too."

"Eh?"

“Everyone’s been pretty bored lately, so Kevin and I decided on some activities to help us bond and improve teamwork… well, necessary activities.”

Alicia spoke more and more fluently.

So, you shouldn't go out for the next few days, okay?

"Alright, since that's the case, there's nothing we can do... Hmm? Kevin, perfect timing, do you have any team-building activities planned?"

Melutina crossed her arms. Since that was the case, she had no choice but to cancel Nino's social gathering. Just then, Kevin came out of the meeting room carrying a bowl.

"What group..."

Kevin was about to ask a question when he sensed a faint but palpable killing intent around him, causing him to swallow his words.

"Yes, it's a team building event. Su planted some new vegetables and invited everyone over for dinner."

“Hey, Möbius, I remember Sue’s vegetable garden…”

Beside her, Alicia quietly walked up to Mebius and whispered,

"It doesn't seem like enough food for so many people, does it?"

"If it's not enough, we can buy more from other farms. After all, it's Kevin; it's good enough that he can make do."

Mebius responded in a low voice.

Melutina rested her chin on her hand, looked at Kevin with a suspicious gaze, and then turned back:

"You...you're really not lying to me?"

"..."

They all shook their heads.

"Okay...I understand."

Melutina didn't dwell on it further, but instead turned her gaze towards the doorway.

"Hmm... what is that strange creature?"

A strange-looking creature was sneaking up to the doorway.

"Ah, my Anuanu Abus!"

Möbius immediately realized what was happening.

"Vellvie! Stop it!"

"Super Pulse Plasma Stora Zero! Activate the Devastating Wave Cannon!"

"live……"

"You are doing..."

“Vell…”

"Oops……"

"boom!!!!"

That evening, Mei, in her hospital room, received a bill from the new building of the Fire Moth.

Reimbursement amount: xxxxxxxxx; Number of attacks: 1.

Chapter Seventy: A Thousand Tribulations Want to Understand

Today, Qianjie unusually did not go to work (?), but instead strolled around the streets.

It seems that Mei fainted again from anger at the hospital, and now Alicia and the others are busy reviewing all sorts of documents.

Since no one was bothering him, Qianjie was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Although he thinks about fighting all year round, even a thousand tribulations can occasionally have a day or two when his bloodlust isn't so strong.

So, even though he walked with an air of indifference and wore the mask that Meludina had given him, passersby only looked at him in surprise, without much fear.

"..."

Hmph, what a boring city.

Qianjie casually surveyed the city, barely memorized the route, and headed towards the suburbs.

kindness?

A fleeting figure made Qianjie stop in his tracks.

As if on cue, the other party also seemed to have noticed something and turned around.

"..."

"..."

A man and a woman stopped on the street and looked at each other without saying a word.

"..."

A simple-minded madman.

Nino looked at the man and thought to himself.

"..."

A truly unique scumbag.

Qianjie looked at the woman and thought to himself.

"Excuse me, sir..."

"Hey, woman, who are you?"
