Chat group, if you have anything to say to my Holy Sword,

Remian, who was admiring the view from the tower, saw the two of them walk out beside her and smiled as she asked Xiling, "How are you feeling, Xiling?"

“No, very bad. I have no strength at all, and I feel like I’m about 40% cooked. Would you like a bite?” Xiling held her hand to the lips of the faded one.

"stupid"

The portal reappeared, and this time Kevin walked out. As soon as he came out, he saw Xiling, whose body was charred black. Kevin quickly went up to her and asked, "Xiling, how are you feeling? You're not dead yet!"

"Pah! You have such a sharp tongue! We're both still alive, even if you were dead. By the way, did you manage to sort things out on your end?"

"It's all set," Kevin nodded. He had already joined the Fire Moths. Although they asked him if he knew Xiling, Kevin's answer was no. Xiling was almost charred to a crisp, and her whole body was covered in light pollution. Kevin didn't believe anyone would recognize her.

Anyway, when people ask Kevin, he just says he doesn't know or doesn't recognize him.

When asked why he did this, Kevin replied that he was young and ambitious and wanted to be a hero, and they approached him and gave him this opportunity.

"Give this guy to me, I'll take care of him for the next few days," Kevin said, taking Xiling from the back of the Faded One.

"Is everything alright?" the faded one asked anxiously.

Remien spoke softly, "Don't worry, Ami. Those people won't find out about the problem so quickly, and how they handle it once they do is another matter entirely."

"Alright, even if they find out there's a problem, I can just go home," Xiling said reassuringly.

"I'll head back now. Call me if you need anything," the faded one said, then turned and left.

Remian smiled at Kevin and Xiling, "Then I'll be going too."

"Take care. By the way, the thing I promised to give you might not be available so soon," Xiling said to Remian as she was about to leave.

"Don't make me sound like I'm some kind of straightforward person," Remian said before returning to her own world.

......

"Didn't you see that person? Really, really didn't you see that person? Himiko~" Alicia grabbed Himiko's hand and shook it repeatedly, like a girl next door pleading with her older sister.

Himiko looked at Alicia with a helpless expression. "Alicia, I've already told you, I really didn't see that person. He disappeared after he killed that Herrscher. If you really want to know, I suggest you go find that guy."

"Hmm?" Alicia tilted her head.

"That's the white-haired kid, I think his name is Kevin."

......

"I really want to eat watermelon," Xiling said weakly, lying on the hospital bed, her body wrapped tightly in bandages.

The place where Xiling is now is a hospital, organized by the Fire Moth and the official organization, used to treat and observe those who survived the Honkai but may be infected with Honkai disease.

Listening to Xiling's lamentations, Kevin resisted the urge to smash an apple over his head. He tried to speak calmly, "The doctor said you can't eat these things for now."

"The doctor said I can't eat watermelon? No, right?" Xiling blinked in confusion.

Kevin shoved the peeled apple directly into Xiling's mouth, saying irritably, "Dr. Xing didn't say anything, but where am I supposed to get you a watermelon this season?"

"Watermelon and peaches are fine too."

"You can just sit here and dream about eating peaches."

"Sigh, you're really strict. I've suffered a lot here. I was being watched just a few days ago, and look, you even drew a whole bottle of blood from me."

Kevin sighed as he looked at the needle marks on Xiling's arm. "Didn't you insist on staying here, saying you wanted to see if those people could get anything from your blood? Fine, I'll try to get it done for you, okay?" Kevin sighed and decided to agree to the guy's request for now.

"Love you~" Xiling made a heart shape with her hands towards Kevin and even winked.

"...I threw up."

"You better pray you're kind-hearted, otherwise once I'm healed, I'll definitely leave a few holes in you."

Just as the two were talking, there was a knock on the door of the ward.

Kevin and Xiling exchanged a puzzled look; medical staff usually wouldn't come at this time.

"Please come in," Xiling called out towards the door.

With a click, the door opened and a pink-haired head peeked in. Xiling immediately recognized the familiar face and exclaimed in her mind, "Miss Pink Fairy!"

"No, Xiling! This isn't the time to think about that. The key question is, why is this guy here? Are those people planning something?" Thinking this, Xiling's gaze became curious.

Kevin looked at the pretty girl who had entered their hospital room with a puzzled expression, and asked, somewhat hesitantly, "Is there something you need?"

Alicia opened the hospital room door fully, a bright smile on her face. "My name is Alicia. It's nice to meet you, Kevin."

"...Do you know me?"

"Yes, there are some things I'd like to ask you. Could you please come outside with me for a moment?"

"Oh, so you're looking for Kevin. Then it's none of my business... Is that even possible?" Xiling had long known this day would come.

Kevin followed Alicia out of the ward, puzzled.

Upon arriving outside the ward, Kevin asked, "What can I do for you?"

Alicia turned around, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Kevin, you really don't know that hero?"

"???" Kevin's pupils dilated as he heard the word Alicia utter.

"What are you talking about, some kind of hero?" Kevin tried to control his tone to prevent others from noticing his nervousness.

He genuinely didn't understand how anyone could use the word "hero."

Just as Kevin was getting nervous, Alicia clasped her hands together, and a radiant smile appeared on her face. "Don't you think it's just like him? The moment he swung his sword at the end, he was just like a real hero from a fairy tale, wasn't he?"

"...Oh, I see. You scared me, though that guy is definitely a hero," Kevin thought to himself with a sigh of relief.

Chapter Fourteen New Group Members

Xiling: ......

Kevin: ...

"Why aren't you saying anything? Is it because I'm here that you're embarrassed? Oh, just treat me like your new friend, let's chat happily together~" Alicia sat on a stool, looking at Kevin and Xiling with a smile.

[I Don't Want to Be the Hero Anymore]: "What's going on?"

[High school student Kevin]: "I don't know either."

[High school student Kevin]: "I perfectly used your words, but she still won't leave."

[High school student Kevin]: "Could it be that he observed something?"

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: "Probably. Don't panic, we'll go get discharged soon. Anyway, the doctor already said I could leave."

[High school student Kevin]: "What are you talking about! You could have left a long time ago!"

[High school student Kevin]: "And yet you make me take care of you every day?"

[I Don't Want to Be the Hero Anymore]: "I just wanted to experience what it's like to be taken care of. You did a good job, I'll call on you again next time."

Ignoring Kevin's barrage of messages in the chat group, Xiling smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Alicia. My name is Xiling."

"Oh my~ How happy you are!" Alicia blinked curiously, as if she was genuinely curious about the question.

"This kind of question is child's play."

Xiling replied earnestly, "I'm a little happier than if you knew me."

"Hahaha," Alicia covered her lips and chuckled, as if Xiling's answer made her very happy.

"Xiling, you really know how to please girls."

Kevin: "......"

"Miss Alicia, I need to change my clothes. I'm being discharged from the hospital today, you see?" Xiling said, indicating that she needed to change and that it wasn't appropriate for a girl to be there alone.

However, Alicia seemed to have no intention of leaving. "Oh, then you can change. I don't mind."

"I mind, I really mind!" Xiling didn't care whether the other person was a girl or not, and loudly complained.

She jumped off the bed and pushed Alicia out of the ward, then locked the door from the inside.

"I hate people who have no boundaries. Who cares if she cares or not?" Xiling complained as she took off her clothes. Under Kevin's gaze, Xiling was wearing another set of clothes underneath her clothes as she dragged them to the ward.

Kevin remained silent, simply watching Xiling.

"What's wrong with me wearing an extra layer? It's cold, what's wrong with me wearing a colder layer?"

"fine"

Kevin looked toward the hospital room door.

[High school student Kevin]: "I have a feeling she recognized something."

[I Don't Want to Be the Hero Anymore]: "That's certainly possible, after all, her eyes are different from ordinary people's."

[High school student Kevin]: "So what do we do now?"

[Don't want to be the hero anymore]: "Let's run away!"

[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: "But you have to disappear naturally, otherwise you'll be in trouble."

[High school student Kevin]: "Then it's up to you."

Outside the ward, Alicia leaned against the wall with a slight smile on her lips, her shoes occasionally tapping lightly on the ground, as if she had encountered something that made her very happy.

"There shouldn't be any mistake, it's him." Others might not be able to see Xiling's appearance, which was enveloped in magic, but Alicia could see Xiling's true form through the magic.

However, at that time, Xilin was charred all over, and even though her vision passed through the magic, Alicia could not see Xilin's true appearance. But the moment she opened the door to the ward and met Xilin's eyes, Alicia recognized her as the person she was looking for.

"The hero is a very handsome boy~, but he seems a little resistant to me. Why is that? I really wanted to be friends with him." Alicia turned her head with some trouble, but soon a smile returned to her face.

"Perhaps it's because he didn't see my sincerity~ The Hero's Conquest Operation begins now~"

The hospital room door opened, and Xiling saw Alicia grinning foolishly. "What's wrong with this child?"

Hearing the door open, someone snapped out of their daydreams, lightly touched the ground with their heel, and turned to face the two people in the ward doorway. "Wow, I didn't expect you boys to change clothes so quickly~"

"Speaking of Miss Alicia..."

Alicia interrupted Xiling, saying, "Just call me Alicia, or you can call me Ali~"

"Alright, goodbye Alicia then." After waving to Alicia, Xiling and Kevin naturally turned around and prepared to leave.

Light, quick footsteps sounded behind her, and Xiling had only one thought in her mind: "Oh no, I've been entangled with a lesbian."

Even after the two registered and left the hospital, the light footsteps behind them continued to follow at a leisurely pace.

"You should know that I have training this afternoon," Kevin suddenly said to Xiling.

“No, at this time you’re going to abandon your brother and walk alone?” Xiling didn’t speak, but his astonished eyes conveyed his meaning.

"Then how can I help you? Just tell me!" Kevin gave Xiling a look.

...It seems there really isn't one.

"Alright, then go ahead and train hard."

......

Just as Xiling watched Kevin leave, Alicia walked up to him. She made a pair of binoculars with her hands, looking in the direction Kevin had gone. "Kevin's gone."

"After all, he has other things to do. By the way, Alicia, is there anything you need?"

"Me~"

Under Xiling's gaze, Alicia drawled out her words, then walked past Xiling towards the direction Kevin had left. But halfway there, Alicia stopped and turned back. "Actually, we're going the same way~ And it was nice meeting you today, Xiling."

After leaving those words, Alicia turned and left. She knew very well that continuing to pester him would leave a bad impression. There was plenty of time in the future, and she would definitely make the hero admit that he was the hero. Alicia was full of confidence today.

Watching Alicia skip away, Xiling was first puzzled, then confused, and finally overjoyed.

"What? It's that simple? I thought I was going to show off my escape skills today."

Seeing Alicia leave, Shirin barely hesitated before disappearing into an alley. A flash of white light followed, and the alley fell silent.

Alicia could never have imagined that Xiling was from another world. Her strategy was almost impossible to execute on Xiling because Xiling had long since left this world.

Even if she pesters Kevin every day to ask about Xiling's location, do you think she can be forced to confess? If she really did that, then she wouldn't be Alicia.

As for whether others will torture Kevin into confessing, Xiling said that they are no ordinary bad people, and the Holy Sword is drawn.

Back in his own world, Xiling felt magic flowing into his body, and it wouldn't be long before all his injuries were healed.

Just as Xi Ling was thinking how good it was to be home.
