Honkai, they all became my stigmata

Ulandell pondered.

"Hmm... this knife, is it the one that appeared when Mei went in to solve my aunt's health problems?"

Kiyana pointed her chin with one finger, trying hard to recall what happened back then.

"Ah."

Dust Feather nodded.

Theoretically speaking, of course, it would be easier to find Teresa, who had experienced the Yae Sakura's stigmata space adventure, to help call Higokumaru.

But, Teresa is still resting now, and that kind of thing happened just now, so I should try other methods first...

He temporarily put away the Ksitigarbha Yuhun and planned to deal with it later.

............................................................

An hour later, the structure constructed by Wanxiang Senluo dominates the theater.

Because he didn't know what special circumstances might arise, he stayed away from places where crowds gathered for the time being, and came to this area that would not affect the outside world.

However, he did not come alone.

Anna, who was finally busy with family affairs, finally sneaked out and came here with him.

"You look so busy..."

"Hey, I haven't been back to the family for a long time, it's like this..."

The chestnut-haired girl pouted and said with some complaints:

"From the morning, I have to visit my relatives and friends one by one according to the etiquette, but it is finally over."

"Uh... I don't understand you nobles very well..."

Dust Feather teased.

Anna glanced at Chen Yu, who is now in the form of a teenager, and curled her lips again:

"I wanted to wait until the day after Bishop Teresa took office to take you to see my father, but with your current state, I'm afraid it can only be postponed for two days."

If you take the 12-year-old boy back home and tell her father that this is your son-in-law...

At that time, she will be regarded as a pervert.

"However, I do need a little help in the future. Well, I will temporarily sneak into the inner space of this God's Key to see its will."

During this period, his real body naturally needed someone to take care of him.

Although it doesn't matter what happens in this supporting theater, but facing Anna's kindness, he naturally let her come in with him.

"Hmph, then during this period, I will do it..."

The girl smiled slightly, and hugged Chen Yu from behind, embracing her lover, her hands clasped his waist mercilessly, making him unable to move.

Her soft body pressed against her, and the cold touch covered her back, bringing a burst of strange fragrance.

"hiss……"

I always feel that while maintaining this boy's body shape, there are some subtle changes in his aura when facing them...

Not daring to think too much, Chen Yu, who was resting on the soft mountain, sank her consciousness into the space of the stigmata.

……

Chen Yu, who returned to her stigmata space, took out the commandment ring representing Alponia with ease, and put it on the ring finger of her left hand.

However, this "ceremonial prop" tailored by Aponia for him, this time, it seems a little out of place.

"..."

Chen Yu took a look, and his mental body also shrank to the appearance of a boy.

"This side effect is really..."

While muttering, he twisted the ring slightly, opened the door to the deepest place, and searched for Aponia.

He didn't intend to use that nun's [discipline] ability to forcibly "persuade" Hiyumaru - he already has the powerful substitute ring of Sister Su, and most of the mental problems can be solved by relying on her power .

Chen Yu's purpose in coming to Aponia was mainly to find out information about the girl named Ling who was the predecessor of Hiyumaru.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. Before entering the Ksitigarbha Yuhun, you still need the necessary intelligence information.

Although he did get along with Sakura for a short period of time, he really knew very little about her younger sister and had no contact with her in person.

Through the fantastic door, Chen Yu stepped into the sky church of Alponia.

The nun still maintained the same prayer posture for thousands of years, kneeling on the ground and praying earnestly.

Only the bells ringing quietly from all around indicated that she had already noticed her arrival and made a gesture of welcome.

"Long time no see, Aponia."

Aponia raised her head slightly, saw the figure of the young man approaching, and said with a smile:

"Your appearance, hehe... is really a wonderful [price]."

"...Uh, sure."

Chen Yu nodded in agreement.

He went on instead:

"Before asking you to help me deal with Su, I haven't thanked you enough yet."

Although it was a four-on-one just beating, it still carried some risks.

"I don't need any payment, but if you really want to do something..."

The nun stretched out her hand slightly, beckoning Chen Yu to approach.

Chen Yu temporarily came to her side.

She immediately patted her snow-white plump thighs lightly.

"...?"

Seeing that Chen Yu didn't understand, she immediately sighed softly.

Although explaining it in words is also possible, but she thinks it is a little troublesome.

So, as expected, use [Discipline].

The nun opened her lips and teeth, and said words with a miraculous effect:

"[Please] you, lie here."

"..."

Chen Yu's expression tensed slightly, his body no longer obeyed his own will, and began to act according to Alponia's words.

The directly familiar and warm touch appeared again, and the will that was exerted on him dissipated.

"Comfortable?"

The nun's hands gently stroked the temples on both sides of his head, soothing his fatigue.

"Of course you can't say 'no'."

Aponia smiled slightly, and continued:

"'Kids taking care'...that's what I'm really good at."

"Tsk, I'm really not..."

Although he looks like a child on the outside, his wisdom is too ordinary... Ahem, no, in short, in connection with today's series of experiences, Chen Yu can't help but wonder if he should wait until his body fully recovers before doing other things.

"Of course I know this, it's just that I feel affectionate..."

The nun whispered, although Chen Yu could no longer see her face at this moment.

"Seeing you like this reminds me of the past, Gracie, and... the children in the monastery...

"Just consider it to satisfy my selfishness... okay?"

There was a pleading tone in her words.

"..."

Chenyu, who had no reason to refuse, accepted Aponia's care obediently.

At the same time, he also informed Aponia of his intention to come, and told her everything about the No.12 collapse experienced by the former civilization of the original world.

After all... the occurrence of that tragedy is inseparable from her [discipline].

"So that's how it turned out, another [commandment] that I once set, actually caused such a disaster..."

After listening to Chen Yu's narration, Aponia said with a sigh of regret.

The girl who was parasitized by the Herrscher of Corrosion did not show any tendency to attack or destroy during her lifetime. Even so, the soldiers who guarded her, because they "never give up hope against the Houkai" Influenced by the [Discipline], he fell into a frenzy and killed Suzu regardless of the consequences, which led to the liberation of the Herrscher of Corrosion, which is the outbreak of No.12 Houkai.

In that tragedy, no one was a sinner and no one was a winner.

Aponia was silent for a moment.

"Are you worried about the safety of Bell over there?"

"……Yes."

The nun nodded and replied softly.

When she made an accident and took Alicia away, thus attracting Chen Yu, it was before No.12 Honkai.

Although now, she no longer belongs to the fire moth, but follows Chen Yu's side, no one can give such [commandments] to those soldiers, but...

"Chen Yu, I don't want to excuse myself, but just like what I have told you before and I have tried countless times, the nature of the human race is hard to change."

After all, at that point in time, the [Tragedy of Restraint] had just ended, and the unprecedented huge losses and injuries had made people's fear of the Herrscher reach an extreme.

Even without the catalysis of her [Discipline], those soldiers would probably still do the same thing out of fear and fanaticism, leading to the same consequences.

This is the fatalism that belongs to Alponia.

——She was very worried about the safety of that child, Suzu.

"Regarding this point, before I left last time, I have told Prometheus to intervene, and I believe she can handle it well."

That reliable mechanical girl will follow this instruction and take good care of Haoling's safety.

"I hope so……"

The nun nodded with a sigh.

"If you're not at ease, I can try to take another look after we head to [Paradise of the Past]."

When he sees the memory of the thirteen heroes in Paradise of the Past, he can also try to map it based on Sakura as the target, although he has no way to ensure that the time point of the past is just mapped.

Of course, before he left last time, he promised Alicia to target her memory for mapping next time. Although he used it once because of the incident of the Herrscher Dominator, he still intends to fulfill this promise. with.

"So, tell me about it, Bell, what kind of girl is that?"

"Ling, she is not the same as Gracie. She was not forced to become a fusion fighter by the Houkai disaster. Instead, she has been sheltered in the base of Flame Chasing Moth as an ordinary human..."

The nun spoke softly, and shared everything she knew about the girl with Chen Yu.

Although she was imprisoned in the deepest place most of the time, she rarely had the opportunity to touch Suzu, but when she personally imposed the "discipline" for Sakura, she was still able to understand through the heart of this strong sister. to everything about her sister.

At first, when Sakura was the killer of Anbu [Poison Chrysalis], the sisters lived in seclusion in a remote place, until Mei incorporated her and began to master the power of the fire-chasing moth, the sisters lived peacefully Under the sun, the wandering life ended.

She is a very lively teenage girl, kind and lovely.

Just, tainted by unfortunate fate...

Chapter 18

Higokumaru

In the data space of Jizo Yuhun.

A girl with red and white hair is quietly dormant in her own domain. She curled up with a body that can only be described as petite, bent into a ball, and covered it with the large number of red and white gradient tails behind her. own.

Now she is not a human being, so it is not appropriate to use the word "sleep", it should be "dormant".

Since the problems left by the Herrscher of Corruption of the former civilization were completely resolved a few years ago, one of the two consciousnesses separated from the consciousness of the Herrscher of Corrosion and Suzu is her, Higokumaru.
