Honkai, they all became my stigmata

He wasn't afraid to fight the Herrscher, after all, he had already had a real fight with the queen before coming here, but...

Fighting can't solve the problem, and what he wants to do is not just defeating the Herrscher of Death.

This is a contradictory question. If... your enemy is the person you want to protect, what exactly should you do to...

...to save her?

"..."

When his thoughts came here, they were interrupted abruptly, as if some kind of strange power was at work, trying to lure him into sleep.

Chen Yu noticed something was wrong, not only the sudden sleepiness, but at the same time, it seemed that some memories were being sealed.

"Wait...Aponia...what did she do?"

……

The nun who walked out of the room heard a familiar voice from the side.

"Aponia, you did something superfluous again."

Mr. Porter, who was dressed plainly, was squatting on the side of the flower bed. Although the night covered his mask that was hard to recognize, he must be staring at Alponia right now.

"What did you do to that man?"

"I just want to try to make him less sad... He has forgotten enough, and it shouldn't be a problem if he forgets a little more."

People seek pain by seeking knowledge, if the future can only see sadness and despair, why not pretend that you don't remember until the moment comes——

"after all……"

After a pause, the nun's eyes drifted to a certain room in the nursing home.

"I saw in him... a stronger obsession than anyone else, and that would only make him... hurt himself."

Chapter 23

sakura day

"This beautiful lady, are you new here?"

On a street leading to an orphanage, a cherry-colored girl was stopped by a group of men in black with unknown origins.

"...What do you want to do?"

Even though surrounded by several men who were much taller and stronger than herself, the girl didn't show a look of fear, she just asked lightly.

"I just want you to come with us."

"..."

Just like the man said before leaving, it seems that there are other people staring here.

But—if he can't beat Chen Yu, he can't beat you?

Thinking so, the girl gently put down the package on her body.

Even without a long knife, these ordinary hooligans are still no match for her.

One palm turned into a hand knife, and her movements were as fast as lightning, knocking down this group of villains with evil intentions to the ground in an instant.

She has always been very confident in her killing methods, except for Chen Yu who for some reason couldn't get close to her body, no one else could be safe under her attack.

But—after all, she was living with the children, and she didn't want to see blood for the time being, so for the time being, she just disabled their ability to move and left them in a half-dead situation, and let time help them end it here.

Gently lifted the package, stepped over these weak people moaning in pain on the ground, Sakura returned to the orphanage.

According to the boss Chen Yu's instructions, she will temporarily protect this place until he returns from Twilight Street.

"..."

Standing in front of the gate of the orphanage, the girl sighed softly.

Compared with the crushing battle just now, the next scene is obviously more challenging.

Pushing open the door, those lovely children rush forward——

"Sister Sakura, you're back!"

"Great!"

"……Um."

The girl responded softly, turned around and closed the door, and showed the results of her shopping in front of the children.

"Wow, so many things—"

The livelihood of the orphanage has always been relatively difficult, and it can only be regarded as barely able to survive. The children who are used to living a frugal life have never seen Sakura's exaggerated shopping style with large and small bags.

"...I just bought a little bit."

Although the days of wandering with Ling were a bit poor at first, but after becoming a poisonous chrysalis killer, at least in terms of money, she hasn't encountered difficulties for a long time.

According to the usual shopping habits... She bought enough supplies for the children, far exceeding their imagination.

"...I'm going to cook for you."

She was also taking care of her and Ling's daily life, so she didn't feel any trouble taking care of the children in the orphanage.

After the meal, it is naturally time to take a bath.

Using the hairpin in her hand to wrap her cherry-colored long hair, the girl gently tested the temperature of the water with her jade feet, and then she slowly slipped into the tub filled with hot water.

The warm water brought the girl a feeling of peace of mind and relieved her fatigue.

"call……"

Putting down the butcher's knife after a long absence, experiencing these everyday things again made her a little...unbelievable.

Is such a daily life really something she can have?

It's like... the happy life before the homeland was destroyed by disaster.

If only Ling could live in such a warm environment...

"..."

That is impossible.

Years of experience as a killer has caused her to have deep blood feuds with countless people. If her identity is revealed one day, endless revenge will surely flood her fragile sister.

Therefore, they must live in the shadows that no one knows.

Unless... a huge organization with hands and eyes reaching out to the sky can protect them and absolutely guarantee their safety.

But for her who is well versed in the way of killers... she has long understood that where in the world is truly safe?

"If it's [Boss]..."

The girl pondered.

Miss the boss, the boss is here.

"We're back--"

Another girl's voice, and the sound of the two's footsteps sounded in the yard, interrupting Sakura's thoughts.

"..."

Chen Yu said that after he came back, he would set himself free.

Wait a while, go out and talk to him about this matter, he still looks like a gentleman, he probably wouldn't rush in while he was taking a bath...

"and many more……"

At this moment, Sakura discovered a very serious problem.

... She did not bring a change of clothes.

This is of course, after all, she came out to carry out the mission of killing people, and it was expected to be completed overnight, and she didn't carry any luggage at all. It was completely unexpected to attack Chen Yu and be captured by Chen Yu.

And... I am used to only taking care of the bell, and when I was shopping outside today, I completely forgot to buy something for myself...

"..."

After struggling for a while, the girl had no choice but to leave the bathtub, letting the warm water drip from her body continuously, leaving a wet track in the bathroom.

After coming to the door, the girl listened sideways, and only after she was convinced that the footsteps of a woman were about to pass by, she summoned up the courage to call out softly.

"Miss Seele."

"Um... Ms. Sakura, what's wrong?"

Xier's voice came from outside the door.

"That...clothes..."

……

In a few minutes, inside the house.

"Well... use this one!"

Sakura put on a loose nightgown. This was the only piece of clothing in Xier's closet that could fit Sakura's figure. If so, even better than Xier...

For Xier, it was a loose nightgown, but it could only be said to fit Sakura just right.

"Thank you."

"Ahaha...it's nothing..."

"By the way, the two of you went to Twilight Street... What did you gain?"

Even she had never been to that chaotic place. After all, they had already resolved most of the conflicts internally, and there was no need to ask the poisonous chrysalis for help.

"Well...we..."

Xi'er actually couldn't explain it, she just followed Chen Yu to Dusk Street, and then, it seemed that she ate some candy in the nursing home, and then...

Then when he woke up the next day, he found that Chen Yu had fallen asleep leaning against the edge of his bed.

After that, they went back the same way together.

……

Under the bright moonlight.

The children and the blue-haired girl had already fallen asleep, and the cherry-colored girl came to the courtyard with unnoticed steps.

Her temporary [boss] is still sitting there.

"boss."

"Um……"

Chen Yu responded casually, not knowing what she was thinking.

"The task you entrusted to me has been completed."

Although the environment here is good and Sakura doesn't hate it, she still wants to leave here as soon as possible and return to Suzu's side.

Since there was an agreement first, she should also leave here——

"...What mission?"

Chen Yu turned back in confusion and asked.

"..."

Sakura thought at first that he was deliberately pretending to be stupid, but after meeting his eyes, the girl was convinced that he seemed to have indeed forgotten something.

"...?"

"...?"

Under the moonlight, Ying and Chen Yu stared wide-eyed.
