K424 of the Collapse World

“Ah…what…?”

Shirley held the lance, staring blankly at the little guy with a face full of fear. In fact, although she intended to defeat the powerful Feiyuwan with a thunderous force, when the flames dissipated and she saw the appearance of Feiyuwan clearly, she stopped the momentum of the lance.

Kiana also held her cross, but when she saw that there was no fight as expected, she did not immediately go to help her sister, but continued to watch.

Looking over here, after seeing Hiyomaru for the first time, Shiris immediately lost her composure.

"What's going on? Why is it this sounding pendant? Where is that fire-breathing fox?!"

Looking at the trembling Hiyumaru in despair, the corners of Shilis' mouth twitched. Logically, during this period of time, the consciousness of the demon in the box should still be Hiyumaru, the twelfth Herrscher, but why did the big fox become a little fox so early?

(Also, why is it not a two-headed body, but a girl's form that is completely shrunken?)

While Shiris was lost in thought, Feiyumaru beside her shouted at the top of her voice.

"Sister, help me! That white-haired woman who I have never seen before and is not Sister Kallen is trying to kill me...!"

Yaezakura smiled gently when she heard the familiar childish voice. But the next moment, she opened her eyes and saw the silver-haired girl pointing a lance at Hiyomaru. She was immediately startled and hurriedly dodged between the two of them, used her scabbard to push away the lance tip, and held Hiyomaru in her arms.

"What are you doing, Miss Shilis? Hiyumaru is my important friend, please don't hurt her..."

"Wuwuwu... Big sister..."

Seeing this, Shirley came back to her senses from her thoughts, immediately put down her lance, and freed her hands to show that she had no ill intentions.

"Misunderstanding... Miss Yaesakura. Is this the Herrscher consciousness in your stigmata space? But as far as I know, the demon that emerged from the Houkai should be a huge evil demon fox... Why is it like this?"

This situation is obviously not right. The little fox Higyokumaru in the original work only appeared after Yae Sakura became Theresa's stigma and Higyokumaru was completely defeated. After being defeated by Kallen and Yae Sakura in the Sakura Samsara, Higyokumaru lost his past memories. Later, he was found by Yae Sakura from a wine barrel and given the name Higyokumaru. Determined to forget the past hatred, she accepted this name and became Yae Sakura's partner, affectionately calling her "big sister".

This is what should have happened, but now, Yae Sakura has just been freed from the seal five hundred years ago, so how did the Kiryumaru become the Kiryumaru?

"That demon fox that turned into the Inari God? I have completely destroyed it, and its remaining power has become the sword in my hand. Now, the only one who accompanies me is this child..."

As she spoke, Yaezakura looked at Shirisi in front of her nervously and touched Higyokumaru's little head.

, his eyes became softer.

"I don't care what she was like before, her current name is Hiyomaru. Ms. Shilis, although I don't know what your plan is, please don't hurt this child. I promise she will never do anything bad. Besides, I didn't intend to use the Jizo Soul to bring her to reality..."

"I understand. Anyway... please calm down, Miss Yaesakura. Don't worry, I won't attack your friends again."

Shirley waved her hands and said, but she was secretly surprised in her heart. What was supposed to happen in the future happened in advance. What on earth was going on?

(Let’s not talk about the timeline confusion… If Yae Sakura has already obtained the Jizo Soul, then she should be living happily with Kallen in the illusion, so why would she go to so much trouble to come out again?)

Although she didn't quite understand, Shilis's purpose had not changed.

"Then Miss Yaezakura, would you like to come with us?"

"Well, I have already promised you before, so I will not break my promise easily."

After getting Yaesakura's promise, Shiris breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Kiana who was hesitant to speak, and gave her an apologetic smile in return.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but anyway, let's go back first, okay?"

"Ah."

Kiana nodded, looked at Theresa lying on the ground with some concern, and then returned to her previous calmness. Out of trust in Shirley, she did not immediately ask about the girl who looked like her, but stood aside obediently and said nothing.

Finally, Shirley turned around, looked at Asakura Miyuki meaningfully, then raised her hand and pointed at the building in the distance where a big hole had been created by Yuno's collision.

"Miyuki, you should be able to sense it, right? That Pseudo-Hermaphrodite is not dead yet. Since you plan to follow me, do one thing for me first."

"Are you going to get rid of her? Got it, I'll go right away..."

“Stop! I don’t want you to kill her. Although her mind has been completely corroded by the Honkai, her body as a Pseudo-Hermaphrodite still has some value. I want you to take her with us. I won’t remove your limiter, but don’t worry, after she took that blow, her body will inevitably lose its mobility. The previous counterattack should be her last strength.”

"Yes."

Asakura Miyuki nodded without hesitation, and dragged her body, whose power was suppressed by the soul steel, straight towards the ruins on Yuno's side.

(Really, completely obedient... But can this guy really be trusted?)

Looking at Asakura Miyuki's back with complicated eyes, Shirley sighed, and finally glanced at the unconscious Theresa and shook her head gently.

(Because of the existence of these pseudo-herrs, the nearby Honkai creatures have also been cleared out, so there shouldn't be any problem leaving her here... Without Theresa, the Far East Branch will probably be in complete chaos, right? What a pity, if not, I could have taken her back to play with today...)

When Asakura Miyuki came over holding a bloody human figure, Shirley clapped her hands and cleared her throat.

"Although there were some unexpected situations, it was completed smoothly overall...Okay, everyone, let's go."

As Shirley said this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly as she thought of what might happen after she returned.

Originally, I just wanted to go out to test weapons, but I ended up bringing back a bunch of pseudo-herms. I guess I'm going to cause trouble for everyone in Anti-Entropy again. However, they're going to need people soon, so I guess they don't mind the addition of high-end combat power...

280 Contradictions that are bound to exist

When Shiris brought three pseudo-hersrs back to the ME Club, it caused quite a commotion in the neighborhood.

Since Yae Sakura's Honkai energy was not hidden at all, the mecha troops stationed in the outer city detected the approach of a strange Honkai energy head. Seeing the Honkai energy reaction that was approaching the Herrscher, they mistook Shirley and the others for invading high-level Honkai beasts and almost attacked them with a barrage of bullets. Fortunately, Shirley's registered identity in the ME company was confirmed at the last moment, which avoided a misunderstanding that could have been quite troublesome.

After Yaezakura slightly suppressed her Herrscher-level collapse fluctuations, the alarm of the base subsided, and the few people were able to enter the periphery of the ME company, which had been completely fortified...

"Big sister, who are these big sisters next to us? Where are we going?"

"I don't quite know who they are, or where this road leads to, but don't worry... they have no ill intentions."

Whispering to comfort the little follower beside her, Yae Sakura walked behind Shirley, looking at the ruined buildings on both sides of the road with a little concern, not caring at all about the surprised looks of the survivors around her who were looking at her ears.

Beside her, Hiyomaru floated slowly in the air, following Yae Sakura's steps. Sometimes he would land on Yae Sakura's shoulder to look around, and then float up and wander around. But what remained unchanged was her non-stop chattering along the way...

"Big sister! That fierce white-haired girl won't hit me again.

Right? "

"No, it was just a misunderstanding..."

"Sister, why is this village so messed up?"

"This is a city five hundred years from now. A natural disaster called collapse has just occurred..."

"Big sister, where are we going?"

"I don't know... You've already asked this question once..."

"Big sister, your collar is a little torn. If you move around a lot, you'll be exposed!"

"..."

"Sister, sister! Why are all the houses in the real world vertically long blocks? They look so boring!"

"..."

"Big sister, look at those clouds in the sky. Do they look like a big fox?"

"..."

"Sister, why don't you speak?"

Not hearing the familiar response, Feiyuwan asked with some concern, and was about to turn around. But suddenly, a hand quickly stretched out from the darkness and grabbed her! Feiyuwan's vision instantly became dark...

Shilis looked at the confused Feiyuwan in her hand expressionlessly, raised her hand to cover her mouth, hugged her tightly to her chest, ignored her struggle, and slowly increased the strength of her arms...

"Big...Help...! Ugh..."

"Ms. Hillis, what are you doing...?"

Listening to Higyokumaru's inarticulate cry for help, Yaezakura looked at Shiris's movements with some concern. The little guy's struggle seemed to be getting smaller and smaller. Although Higyokumaru relied on the power of Jizo's soul to appear in this world, it did not mean that her energy body would not be harmed...

"Don't worry, Miss Yaesakura. I just said that I will never hurt you. It's just that Miss Hiyamaru is so cute that I can't help but want to hug her. Besides, Miss Yaesakura, don't you think that this will really make you feel a lot more peaceful?"

While saying this to Yaezakura with a smile, Shirisi casually stuffed the Hiyamaru, which had turned into a mosquito-repellent eye, into her waist bag, not forgetting to seal the opening.

As a result, the chattering sound completely disappeared, and the air seemed to become more relaxed. Kiana and Asakura Miyuki breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and both looked at Shiris with gratitude. Yae Sakura hesitated a little, and also showed a meaningless smile.

"That's right... Miss Shirley. Then, I'll leave my friend in your care for the time being. Hmm... I see, it's possible to do this..."

She muttered quietly, and the smile on her face became softer. If Hiyomaru was still awake, seeing her elder sister smiling like this, she might even shudder a few times...

·————————————·

"Welcome back, Ms. Kiana, Ms. Shilis, you've been working hard on this mission. Although the new pseudo-herrschers in the city won't affect us for now, we can't just leave them alone..."

Arriving at the main hall of the ME Club building, the receptionist greeted Shirley in a familiar manner. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the people walking with her and her eyes widened slightly.

"Hmm? May I ask who these people are... Wait, Ms. Shilis, your order to attack should be to deal with the hidden dangers of the new pseudo-herms, not to guide the survivors, right? What exactly is this...?"

Comparing the terminal screen in front of her, the counter lady looked at the cherry-haired girl with strange rabbit ears on her head, pointed at her and asked Shirley with a forced smile. At this moment, she forced herself to constantly dispel a certain guess in her mind...

"They? Ah, they are the Pseudo-Hermaphrodites that were created during this Honkai Explosion. There are three of them in total. Here they are, all here."

"They are... Pseudo-Hermaphrodites?"

The counter lady's expression froze on her face.

(Ms. Shiris... brought the real Herrscher... into the ME building? Right in front of... me?!)

“Ehhhh…!!”

In an office on the upper floor of the building, five people sat on chairs around a square table, staring at each other silently...

"cough......"

Tesla coughed lightly, and his calm expression suddenly turned ferocious.

"What on earth is going on?! Shiris! You cut off the data transmission in the middle of testing the armor data, and I thought you had an accident... And what on earth were you thinking? Why did you bring back all the Pseudo-Hermaphrodites on the battlefield?!"

"Sorry, sorry, the situation was urgent at that time, and there was no need for you to worry so much. Besides, I did this for a reason..."

Shirley smiled and waved her hands, facing the angry Tesla with some embarrassment. The origins of Yaezakura and Asakura Miyuki were not difficult to explain, but the interruption of data transmission was not easy to explain. After all, she always

I can broadcast my behavior of flirting with Yae Sakura live in the command center of Anti-Entropy...

On the other side, regardless of Einstein's silent and strong watching, Tesla's eyebrows trembled rapidly, and he looked at the silver-haired girl opposite him with forced calmness. Seeing the absent-minded look on her face when she apologized, she felt that she could not control herself...

"Can you please let us rest assured? You just had the operation, how can we rest assured!"

Tesla helplessly blamed the silver-haired girl in front of him. Facing this stubborn girl, Tesla suddenly didn't know what to say and fell into a brief silence. Seizing this opportunity, Shiris immediately took the initiative of the topic, spread her hands and pointed at Yaezakura and Asakura Miyuki who were sitting on the chairs next to her.

"Let's not talk about this for now, Tesla. Don't be prejudiced against wild Pseudo-Herskers. Let me introduce you. This is Miss Yaesakura. Although she is a Pseudo-Hersker born from Honkai, her will has not been eroded by Honkai at all. She is also very kind. She can be considered as a guest I invited. This Miss Asakura Miyuki is similar. Although she is a Herrscher, she still retains her own consciousness. I once did her a favor and she also expressed her willingness to follow me. But just in case, I also restricted her Honkai energy, so there is no need to worry at all."

Following Shiris' introduction, Yaezakura also stood up and bowed slightly to Tesla and Einstein.

"My name is Yaezakura, please take care of me."

"Hey... um, I'm Asakura Miyuki. Please... please give me your guidance, Mr. Tesla, Mr. Einstein..."

After Asakura Miyuki finished her self-introduction, Hillary looked at Tesla, who was frowning and thinking, and waited for her response.

"Ms. Shilis, are you really sure that your pseudo-hermeneutics friends will not dismantle the ME company?"

At this time, Einstein, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke, and slowly sat up straight. His expression became serious. He glanced back and forth between Yae Sakura and Asakura Miyuki, then turned to Shirley.

"I can guarantee that they won't do anything rash. I'll take full charge of their affairs!"

Shirley patted her chest and said. In response, Einstein nodded and said nothing more. Tesla hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and frowned again.

"So, what's up with that other guy you brought back?"

"That should be the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite that matches your impression. She can be considered a real enemy. I abolished her ability to move, so it should be useful to capture her. Compared to this, aren't you focusing on the wrong thing?"

As Shilis said this, she activated the terminal and projected an image of a silver-haired girl in front of her.

"I met Theresa Apokalis, the leader of the Far East branch and the principal of Saint Freya's school. Although this was just a chance encounter, I think we will probably have some interactions with her soon."

"That's right, Miss Hillis. Cocolia has already started to take action. I guess if we wait for a while, she will start her plan. Then... um! I see, Miss Hillis, this is your plan..."

Looking at the two Pseudo-Rhesists in front of him, Einstein suddenly understood, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at the silver-haired girl.

"Ah

:;Hehe...After all, my mother is not a weak person, so I have to be more prepared. I believe you two have seen the strength of Asakura Miyuki. Believe me, as I said before, I will definitely stop Cocolia's actions with the power of "us"...!"

·————————————·

"Lord Shilis, are you really willing to believe me?"

After leaving the office, Asakura Miyuki couldn't wait to ask Shirley, not caring about the metal ring on her wrist. When the limiter is not activated, she will not feel too much discomfort, and her usual activities will not be affected.

But in response, Shilis shook her head slightly.

"I'm sorry, to be honest I don't completely trust you. After all, you are a pseudo-hermssider who has killed many people, and I don't want to make a big mistake because of my naivety. Give me some more time, and I can decide whether I can completely trust you..."

Although she believed 80% of what Asakura Miyuki said, Shirley still remembered the betrayal she had suffered. Therefore, even if it was a groundless suspicion, she would not easily trust someone she was not familiar with.

"But when that time comes that I can trust you, then we can be considered friends...Miyuki."
