Xia Chuanhu felt that he was wrong.

He shouldn't have taken Qianjie as a target for information! Shouldn't he have taken the easy way out and spent a little more effort and time to fly to the moon to ask Meili?

12. I am a pacifist

After that, Xia Chuanhu asked Qianjie a few more questions.

What made him sweat was that for those questions that touched upon some core issues, Qianjie’s answers were always "I don’t know".

It can be seen that when making the plan, Qianjie was definitely the first person to be excluded by the group of people in the World Snake, but considering his strength and personality, this seems to be reasonable.

So after getting the high-quality answer of "I don't know" several times in a row, Xia Chuanhu gave up asking Qianjie for information. At worst, he could go to the moon to ask Meili, or connect with Meili in her dreams when he went to sleep. In short, there are many ways.

Then——

"Hmm? What are you doing..."

In the atrium of the sanatorium at dusk.

Seeing Xiachuanhu and Qianjie coming out of the same small room, and the tattered clothes on Qianjie, Vita tilted her head in confusion after waving to the children: "... to exchange feelings?"

"I guess so. I practiced with him."

Xia Chuanhu said: "I have to say, this is more interesting than practicing with Siegfried and Theresa."

"As I recall, you were the one beating them up unilaterally, right? I told you to hold back a bit."

"When I fought them, I used the water of the Pacific Ocean. If I added more, it wouldn't have the effect of training." Xia Chuanhu said while looking around, "By the way, are you guys done here too?"

Vita nodded: "Yes. And since you asked this, does it mean that your relationship with your ex-lover is over too?"

"I already said we're not old lovers, at least not yet."

Although Natsukawa Tora and Jeanne do have some relationship beyond friendship, that is with Jeanne herself who is far away in the Type-Moon world. This Jeanne here can only be said to be an acquaintance to him. In addition, she is still possessed by Aponia, so Natsukawa Tora will not get along with them in the same way as he gets along with Jeanne.

Proper courtesy and respect are still required.

Even if something beyond friendship was going to happen, it would have to wait until he and Aponya got to know each other better - but to be honest, Xiachuan Hu didn't really have much desire in this regard.

"Hmm~~~Who knows?"

Vita smiled meaningfully.

"It seems to me that the great nun in every way has a very special attitude towards you~~~"

"Don't think too much. If you look at things through tinted glasses, it would be strange if you don't see anything colorful." Xia Chuanhu tapped Vita's head lightly with his hand knife, then looked at the other two people not far away, "Dr. Tesla, Ain, are you done too?"

"Well, it just ended a while ago." Einstein responded, "I haven't given a lecture for a long time. I'm not used to it."

"That's right! It's unexpectedly troublesome to break down basic knowledge that is no different from [1+1=2] to explain to the children - but fortunately it only takes today. I say, Xia Chuan, don't forget what happened tonight. If you stand us up again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Facing Tesla's threat, Xia Chuanhu just spread his hands and said, "Then I'm really looking forward to what means you will use to deal with me, Dr. Tesla."

Anyway, no matter what means Tesla uses, it will definitely not be able to break Xia Chuanhu's skin.

However, Tesla certainly knows this, so it is just talking about it now.

"Everyone is there."

Just as they were chatting, Cocolia's voice suddenly came from the corridor on one side of the atrium.

Coming to the others with Aponia, Cocolia first said to Tesla and Einstein: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. The negotiations with the Dusk Sanatorium have been completed."

"Hmm? Pretty quick. Are you done?"

"Yes, although the official documents have not been signed yet, the Dusk Sanatorium will cooperate with the Cocolia Orphanage in various aspects in the future. Ms. Abonya was unexpectedly very reasonable and kind, so the discussion went smoothly. Thank you very much."

"You flatter me, Miss Cocolia."

Aponia smiled softly, "Since we are all working for the happiness of the children, we should naturally do our best to help each other. I look forward to more suffering people getting the redemption they deserve and being liberated from their suffering through our efforts in the future."

Xia Chuanhu has seen many saints.

He had even seen the Virgin Mary herself, and was very clear about the qualities of those women who were given the title of "Saints" - Aponia was already very close, and if she were placed in the Type-Moon Church and given some time, she would probably become a saint who would be praised and even written into the doctrine.

"Hmph~~~ Pretending!"

However, as if deliberately contradicting Aponya, Qianjie made some discordant sounds coldly.

Aponiya also noticed Qianjie's condition: "Qianjie, you... fought with someone again?"

"Yeah, I had a fight with this guy, any opinion?"

Qianjie pointed at Xiachuanhu.

Xia Chuanhu did not deny it: "It's not that we really fought, we just stretched our muscles, and Qianjie didn't want to fight anymore halfway through."

"You are not serious at all! You tried every means to provoke me and made me fight you with all my strength, but you hid your true intentions. Just watching me makes me furious!" Qianjie glared at Xia Chuanhu, "Two years ago, you let me enjoy myself more. At least you really wanted to kill me at that time!"

"Two years ago was two years ago, and now is now. Why would I want to kill you when I have nothing better to do?" Xia Chuanhu said. "I just think you won't answer me if I ask you directly, so I use a method that you are more likely to accept. I will knock you down first or let you beat me to your heart's content, and then you will answer me."

"I'm not someone like Meili who would cheat with illusions at every turn. I respect everyone's personal wishes."

"Humph! You're worrying too much!"

With another cold snort, Qianjie turned his back and left the crowd.

Looking at Qianjie's departing back, Aponiya sighed slightly, bowed his head and apologized to Xiachuanhu: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiachuan, Qianjie is like this by nature, please don't blame him too much. He is actually a very good child, but he is not very good at expressing his true feelings."

"It's okay, it's okay. I've seen too many people like him, and I know exactly how to deal with him. Besides, I was the one who basically started this incident, and I just wanted to ask him a few questions on a whim."

"question?"

"For example, how did you Yingjie survive until now? For example, how many of you Yingjie are still alive... These are questions like this, but Qianjie doesn't know much. I asked him several times and he said he didn't know." Xia Chuanhu shrugged with a smile.

"So that's it."

Aponia breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. We are all companions who have gathered together to fight against Honkai. There should be no conflicts between companions. It's really great that you and Qianjie have no conflicts~~~"

"Of course. I am a pacifist and will not easily get into conflict with others."

Xiachuanhu gave a confident thumbs up.

When Vita, who was beside him, heard this, she couldn't help but think of what happened in the Quantum Sea two days ago, and then she gave him a look full of suspicion.

pacifist?

The one who threw the nuclear bomb sword into the quantum sea, Xiachuanhu?

(People like you who barge into people's doors and blow them up with nuclear bombs when a disagreement arises have nothing to do with the word peace, right?)

13. Double the happiness

Xia Chuanhu and his group did not stay in the Dusk Sanatorium for too long.

Although Abonya tried to persuade them to stay and said that there were some empty rooms in the sanatorium for them to stay in, Xia Chuan Hu and others still refused because Tesla and Einstein had already booked a hotel, and Xia Chuan Hu and Vita had agreed on something before, so it would be best for them to stay there as well.

Aponya expressed great regret about this.

After leaving the Twilight Sanatorium and following Tesla, Einstein and Cocolia to the hotel where they had booked a room, Xiachuan Hu and Vita quickly completed the check-in procedures for the two of them.

Then...

"Merry, are you there?"

While Vita was taking a shower, Xia Chuanhu closed his eyes, let his consciousness enter the spiritual space, and called out to the person who should have always lived in his spiritual space.

The next moment, accompanied by a burst of flying flowers, the pure white witch suddenly appeared in front of Xia Chuanhu.

"I'm always here~~~ Is there something urgent that I need to call your most lovely court magician? My beloved king?"

"...Can't you just not wear this big witch hat?"

Xia Chuanhu poked the witch hat on Meili's head and said, "Do you like this hat very much?"

"Because that's how I dressed in the pre-civilization era~~~" Meili laughed, "Oversized witch hat, loose witch robes, cute face and classic wand - I tried very hard to play the image of a cute witch."

"Even though I'm a witch."

"Don't let Morgan hear this, she will hunt you down."

As Xia Chuanhu spoke, he snapped his fingers, causing a bench to appear out of thin air in his spiritual space, and he sat down with his arm around Meili.

"Oh... ..."

The sudden physical contact made Mary cry out softly, and her body stiffened for a moment.

Noticing that something was wrong with her, Xia Chuanhu immediately let go of her hand: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, it's just... it feels like it's been a long time since you hugged me like this, and I'm a little uncomfortable for a while." Mary touched her waist, "And in fact, [I] have never been hugged by you like this before."

"I see. I didn't really care about that. After all, you and the Meili I know are exactly the same person to me, so you just acted according to our habits... Do you need me to be more restrained in the future?"

"No need, no need~~~ Just improve your proficiency, hehe!"

After saying that, Meili sat directly in Xia Chuanhu's arms, took off her hat, rubbed Xia Chuanhu's cheek, and smiled slyly: "But you have to be careful not to suddenly change from a soft seat to a socket."

"Then you should sit next to me."

He put his hands through Meili's armpits, picked her up and put her aside. Xia Chuanhu tilted his eyes and said, "If the target is you, my self-control is not that good."

Meili's smile became even more intense: "Ah la la~~~Are you still the same you who can remain chaste despite the temptations of various gods and goddesses?"

"I can't help it. You are special to me."

Ignoring Meili's provocation, Xia Chuanhu said bluntly: "To be precise, everyone in my family is very special to me. I won't hide or suppress myself too much in front of my family, just like you won't hide or suppress yourself in front of me - this kind of thing is not part of the memory, right?"

"Well, I don't remember it. It looks very familiar." Meili leaned on Xiachuanhu, "Then... my dear king, you left that succubus-like beautiful girl aside and ran to the dreamland to meet me secretly. It shouldn't be just for a tryst with me, right?"

"Let me guess~~~ Is it the same as Qianjie? Do you also have something to ask me?"

"Come on, are you still guessing? Do you think I don't know that you have a clairvoyance that can see everything now?"

Xia Chuanhu directly exposed Meili's acting skills: "I was in a hurry on the moon before, and forgot to ask you a few things. In addition, after asking Qianjie now, I also have a few new questions. I think you know the most, so I came to ask you directly."

"I knew it."

Meili pouted: "You never come to my temple for no reason. You only think of me when something happens, and you leave me hanging on the moon when nothing happens."

"I've been in this world for seven years, but who is it that has never taken the initiative to come to see me?" Xia Chuanhu raised Meili's chin with his hand. "I've met Orange before, and she said that you guys started an entertaining Holy Grail War to fight for me? She also said that I am your cup? But Jeanne didn't mention this to me."

"Oh, you mean this? Joan of Arc didn't attend."

Didn't attend?

Gently removing Xiachuanhu's hand, Meili explained: "It was originally a small entertainment. It's called the Holy Grail War, but in fact it's just a small fight between our family members. Participation is voluntary. Jeanne didn't participate. She came to this world just out of kindness and wanted to help you."

"As for the current participants... In order to prevent spoilers, I can only say that Orange and I are participating. As for the standard of victory, it is of course the same as the Holy Grail War. The one who survives to the end wins."

Survive to the end?

Xia Chuanhu frowned and said, "Are you really going to fight to the death?"

"Prince, we are just us, not [us]. Just like in the Holy Grail War, the defeat of the Servants would not have any impact on the Heroic Spirits themselves, no matter what happens to us here, nothing will happen to the real [us] - after all, we were created, and at the moment of [death], all our experiences and memories in this world will be shared with [us] at the same time."

Meili explained in a relaxed tone: "So this is not surprising... Are you going to treat us as independent individuals?"

"To some extent. After all, whether it's a Servant or a Heroic Spirit, the one in front of me right now is just you."

"...You are really greedy."

Moving her hand to Xia Chuan Hu's hand, Mei Li slowly clasped Xia Chuan Hu's fingers: "Then I will follow your wishes and accept your willingness to treat me as an independent individual, so that you can enjoy double happiness - until one day in the future you can become one with the real me."

"But to be honest, with the case of Ling Yi, I thought you didn't care about this kind of thing anymore."

This is also one of the disadvantages of only retaining memory.

"Okay, okay~~~ Let's stop with the serious topic and change to something lighter. What else do you want to know?"

"...I don't really want to know, I'm just a little curious about what's going on with Grayshu."

Xia Chuanhu cooperated with Meili and said, "I remember that she left the earth on the Ark to carry out the Stigmata Project, but I vaguely remember that the Ark seemed to have lost contact 1,500 years ago? But that was the original situation. It should be different now, right?"

"Grayshu? I didn't expect you to ask about her."

With a slight sigh, Meili shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, the situation in this regard is the same as you remember - the Ark has been out of contact for a long time, and little Gray Xiu's whereabouts are unknown."
