Collapse, I save everything alone

She obviously couldn't understand the connection between the word and fighting.

I thought the answer would be something like "lack of skills" or "lack of strength", but I didn't expect it to be a word like "elegant".

Rita didn't explain much, just smiled and said:

"Well... I will slowly teach you the techniques in this area while I inspect the gaps in the Houkai energy detection equipment these days."

"Okay, thank you Sister Rita."

Xier thanked him politely.

After the discussion, Rita leaned back slightly on the chair and asked intentionally or unintentionally:

"Xi'er, do you like Mingyu?"

"Hey, hey, that..."

The girl, whose little thoughts were seen through, said in a panic.

Is it that obvious?

"Don't be surprised. This is actually quite obvious. Everyone should already know it except Kiana-san."

“That… um.”

Xier admitted.

"Since you like it, you should pursue it boldly."

"I think Brother Mingyu only thinks of Xi'er as his sister. Besides, isn't Brother Mingyu already with Sister Mei..."

Xier said weakly.

If I were to get involved in this situation, wouldn't it be...

"That's just a secular point of view. For us Valkyries...secular concepts may not necessarily apply."

Rita said patiently.

It may be monogamy in the eyes of ordinary people, but not all countries on this planet practice monogamy.

She stood up from the chair, walked to the bed and looked out the window.

"As a Valkyrie, you may lose your life at any time. Maybe one day in the future, we will die in the battle against Honkai. So, if you have any ideas, you should speak them out as soon as possible and don't leave any regrets in your life."

Although this was just a mixture of truth and falsehood, the innocent Xi'er might have really listened to her guidance:

"But Xier doesn't know what to do..."

"Well...Xier-san, besides the combat training, I will also teach you some tips on relationships."

Rita smiled slightly.

- In short, since there is no idea on how to promote the relationship between Kiana and Mingyu, it is better to disrupt the relationship between Mingyu and them first to make the situation lively. By that time, maybe we can create opportunities for Kiana.

Among the three girls she has come into contact with now, what she can see most clearly is that Xier also has some feelings for Mingyu. Moreover, Xier's personality is relatively simple and it is easy to guide her.

Well... let's try Xier as a breakthrough point first.

Chapter 167 Paradise is in your palm

After saying goodbye to the snack and entertainment street, Mingyu finally followed the boss's instructions and brought the girls to the beach.

This is a coast with a sandy beach. Visitors can choose to watch from the fence on the shore, or go down to the beach through the passage to play.

For example, Hiyamaru couldn't wait to rush to the beach.

Mei was a little worried about her, so she followed her, leaving only a few others on the shore.

Yaezakura and Xilin were both leaning on the shore, looking at the endless horizon, lost in thought.

Lin sat next to him, licking the candy apple in her hand.

Looking at the cute girl, Mingyu felt as if his heart was healed.

However, the question still needs to be asked:

"cold."

"Ok?"

The girl blinked and put down the candy apple in her hand.

"You chose the landing point for your stigmata space today, right?"

He was deliberately sent to the vicinity of Yaesakura who was bathing. No matter how you think about it, it must have been something Rin did on purpose. There is no other possibility.

"Oops, is it exposed~"

Rin stuck out her tongue playfully.

As the embodiment of Yaezakura's stigmata space, she can naturally control everything in the space, and can also easily set up a foothold for outsiders.

"I hope you can have a better relationship with your sister, Xiao Xiaobai~"

The girl explained.

“…There’s no need to use this method.”

Mingyu said somewhat helplessly.

The petite cherry-haired girl looked up at Yaezakura who was standing by the railing and said softly:

"My sister was resurrected in this era. Almost all the people she knew in the past no longer exist. She has no one to rely on. The first person she met was you. After that, you saved her and me in the Stigmata Space. I think you can become my sister's new support."

Having gained immortality due to the power of the Ruler of Corrosion, but being forced to live alone in this world, it is indeed a bit sad to think about it.

"I understand your intention, but it's not a good idea to do this anyway."

Mingyu stretched out his finger, ready to flick Lin's forehead as punishment.

The girl closed her eyes tightly and shrank her body, as if she was ready to face the pain at any time.

Seeing her well-behaved appearance, he couldn't help but laugh. The head that was about to pop out finally turned into a pair of big hands covering the girl's head, gently ruffling the hairstyle that she had specially braided for this fireworks festival.

"Ah, Xiao Xiaobai, bad!"

The girl stood up like a frightened kitten, covering her head and complaining in a delicate voice.

Even though she stood up, the petite girl was only level with Mingyu who was sitting on the bench.

While fixing her hair, Rin said:

"Oh, Xiao Xiaobai, Xilin...her past seems to be a little bit messy. Although I have tried my best to take care of her, it is still up to you to guide her. After all, you brought her here, so you know her better."

In accordance with Mingyu's previous instructions, she has been taking good care of the resident Xilin.

But her inner problems were not something she could solve.

Mingyu glanced at the purple-haired girl leaning on the railing. Her back did look a little lonely.

"I'll take my sister to the beach to look for Mei and Hiyomaru. You can go and keep Xilin company."

……

Xilin leaned on the railing on the coast, staring at the endless sea, lost in thought.

——The more noisy the fireworks festival was, the more distant she felt.

After all, she is just a passer-by. Everything here does not belong to her, and this world is not her original world.

The noise and the crowds here have nothing to do with her.

Both marshmallows and candy apples were delicious, but the sweeter they were, the more bitter she felt in her heart.

She felt no sense of belonging to this passing world, but the same was true of her own world.

The original world left her with only unpleasant memories and painful past.

…Except for Cecilia.

Speaking of which, when she was in her own world, she could occasionally hear a mysterious voice whispering to her, asking her to carry out the mission of destroying humanity and civilization.

But here...it seems that I have never heard such a sound before.

"What are you thinking about?"

A familiar voice rang in my ears.

Xilin looked back and saw Mingyu standing beside her.

She turned her head and answered firmly:

"……nothing."

"really?"

Mingyu asked with a smile.

"..."

Xilin remained silent.

With the help of Su's power, he had felt Xilin's past and understood her better than she thought.

She had nothing to be attached to in that world, except for one person.

"You're missing Cecilia?"

Mingyu asked.

"..."

The girl nodded without comment.

The only woman who had given her motherly care since she left the Tower of Babel.

Even though she was eventually forced to turn her blade against herself, Xilin never resented her.

"So you want to go back and take a look?"

“…No, I won’t go back.”

The girl refused stubbornly.

Now that you have left that world, there is no need to go back.

After all, if I go back, Cecilia will...

"You think you'll cause trouble for Cecilia if you go back?"

Mingyu expressed what was in her mind.

As a loyal follower of Destiny, if Cecilia meets Silin again, Otto from that world will probably arrange for her to be captured, and she will be caught in a dilemma.

"……Um."

"Then just enjoy your life here. How do the marshmallows and apple candies taste?"

"Not bad, but... I'm not from this world after all."

Xilin whispered.

She lacks the necessary sense of belonging.

"If you want, I can bring you here to play often in the future."

"Why do you care about me so much?"

Apart from her deceased mother, Cecilia was the only one who had ever felt such care.

Mingyu smiled and replied:

"There could be many answers. I don't want to see a Herrscher use her power for destruction. I don't want you to be in danger alone in the Quantum Ocean. I have something to ask of you, so I'm trying to please you. These are all true. Of course, the main reason is... because I don't want to see you alone."

"..."

"You can't build a paradise with just one hand. It has to be like this..."

Mingyu stretched out his hand towards Xilin:

“When two hands come together, they can create a paradise.”

——Bang!
