Collapse, I save everything alone

After clearing out many of the newly generated Honkai beasts along the way, they finally arrived at the safe East City District.

The girl in his arms raised her head, looked at Mingyu with sparkling eyes, and asked:

"Brother Mingyu, where do you live now?"

"Well... it's in a place not too far from here. I came to Changkong City to carry out a mission and brought you some supplies."

As he spoke, Mingyu put down the package on his back.

Taking the shelf life and carrying capacity into consideration, he picked out some Tianming standard compressed dry food and some long-lasting ingredients.

Although the taste may not be very good, it is impeccable in terms of nutrition.

Noticing the arrival of outsiders, many little heads popped out from other rooms to check the situation.

At Xiaokong's invitation, the children came to the relatively spacious living room one after another.

Bronya was originally just sitting quietly watching Mingyu playing with the children, but she noticed that there was a little girl in the crowd who was secretly staring at her.

She was a little girl who walked with a limp and had a bandage on her foot. It seemed that she was injured in the disaster in Changkong City.

Although his life was saved, he also suffered from disability in his legs and feet.

"Doll, cute..."

She looked at the Homunculus doll in Bronya's arms from afar, feeling a little hesitant and a little yearning.

For the age of these little ones, the Hoom dolls are quite attractive.

"..."

The silver-haired girl stood up silently, slowly floated over, handed her doll to the little guy in front of her, and said in the softest tone possible:

"This is for you."

"Well, but..."

The little girl was a little flattered.

"It's okay. Bronya still has a lot of Homunculus dolls."

"Thank you, thank you, big sister..."

She thanked him timidly.

Looking at the little guy happily holding Homunculus, Bronya suddenly felt a little guilty.

Perhaps it was the suggestion of the mysterious donkey-eared woman, or perhaps it was the face of these innocent children that made Bronya start to think for the first time other than blindly following the instructions of her mother Cocolia.

For example, she began to think that it was her dear mother, Cocolia, who had made these children homeless.

Also, destroying an entire city and causing the deaths of millions of people, paying such a price to bring Seele back, would the gentle and kind girl really be happy about this?

The answer, I’m afraid, is no.

No, after all, was everything my mother had done so far really to save Seele...?

Wasn't it her who made Xier disappear in the laboratory a year ago?

"..."

The silver-haired girl was a little upset. She glanced at Mingyu who was playing with the children, stood up, and floated outside.

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

"By the way, Xiaokong, is your teacher in Changkong City?"

After playing with the children for a while, Mingyu sat up and asked the purple-haired girl beside him.

"The teacher just left a few days ago and hasn't come back yet."

Xiaokong answered obediently.

Ravens only come back here once in a while and do not stay in the nest for a long time.

This is understandable. As a capable cadre of the World Serpent, she has been carrying out various tasks all over the world.

"Well... Well, Xiaokong, I have a letter for you. When your teacher comes back, please give it to her for me, okay?"

Mingyu took out an envelope from his arms.

This was something he had prepared last night before setting off.

When I came to the place where the children lived, besides seeing Xiaokong whom I hadn't seen for a long time, there was something more important.

——Search for the whereabouts of Thunder Ryoma.

Although he claimed to the outside world that he was arrested and imprisoned for an economic case, people involved naturally knew that he was framed by Cocolia.

Therefore, it is worth investigating where this former executive of Anti-Entropy is being held.

Anti-Entropy is now clearly divided into the radicals headed by Cocolia and the conservatives headed by Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla. Raiden Ryoma, as a member of the conservatives, was framed, and other executives in the same camp could not have done nothing.

They must have tried to send people to find Thunder Ryoma and rescue him, but probably to no avail.

Therefore, Mingyu deduced that Raiden Ryuma was probably being held by Cocolia in a secret location controlled by her, rather than in a prison under the jurisdiction of the Far East Government.

Well, this is not a place he can guess now, so he needs special helpers to help find Longma's whereabouts.

If possible, he planned to rescue Mr. Ryoma as soon as possible.

On the one hand, it is for Mei, and on the other hand, he naturally hopes to use the position of the regained free Ryoma within Anti-Entropy to restrain Cocolia's usurpation of power.

——He didn't intend to wait patiently for the queen to come in a few years, and then wait until the chaos in Haiyuan City broke out before going to settle accounts with Cocolia.

If you want to do it, the sooner the better.

Whether it is to persuade Bronya to rebel or to rescue Raiden Ryoma, both are part of the current plan.

And this person who can help him find the whereabouts of Thunder Dragon Horse...

Naturally, it was the mercenary belonging to World Serpent, Raven.

Although Mei had already asked Theresa and the others to help find the whereabouts of this matter, it was obvious that the Far East Branch's intelligence capabilities alone could not be compared with the World Snake.

If we can take advantage of the intricate intelligence networks of the World Serpent, which has already infiltrated the intelligence networks of major organizations, it should not be difficult to find Longma's whereabouts.

And Raven happens to be the kind of mercenary who can do anything as long as she is paid, so Mingyu plans to entrust this matter to her.

He left a secret private email address in the envelope so that he could contact Raven when the time came.

"Okay...I'll pass it on to the teacher when he comes back."

Xiaokong nodded obediently and put the envelope into her small bag.

Seeing that the sun was setting outside the window, Mingyu chatted with Xiaokong for a while and then said goodbye again.

He returned to Chiba Academy with Bronya, picked up Mei, and started the return journey.

With Yuno, who survived, this team, which was on its first mission, successfully completed the mission in Changkong City.

Chapter 31 Smells like another woman!

St. Freya Academy, weekend, early morning.

Although Mingyu maintained a very good schedule during school hours from Monday to Friday, he would still sleep in during the rare weekends.

Well, this is what is called a balance between work and rest.

Only in this way can we alleviate the fatigue caused by the excessive amount of training brought about by the usual use of time rewinding.

Even so, at this time, in the dormitory where Mingyu should have been alone, there was still a faint sound.

A young girl left her room and walked onto the corridor.

The girl was wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume. She had delicate and regular facial features, exposed snow-white shoulders, long legs, and bright blue eyes under her delicate and long eyebrows. Her milky white skin was delicate and clean without any roughness.

Her long cherry-colored hair fell behind her like a waterfall, leaving a faint scent of cherry blossoms wherever it passed.

Her room was at the innermost part of the second floor, so when she passed through the corridor, she also passed by Mingyu's room.

The enhanced senses brought by her physique as a Pseudo-Herrscher allowed her to vaguely hear his calm breathing even through the closed door.

After going downstairs, she came to the living room as usual, pulled out a chair and sat down, opening the book that she had not finished reading yesterday.

With the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers outside the window, it should have been a rather peaceful and tranquil morning.

However, Feiyumaru, who had not appeared for a long time, reappeared at this time.

The huge fox seemed to occupy the entire living room, and the flames burning on its black fur seemed to have become even more vigorous than the last time it appeared.

She growled in a low voice:

"woman……"

"What are you doing out here?"

Yaezakura didn't even raise her head, her eyes still on the book in her hands.

"Do you really intend to stay in this academy forever?"

Feiyukumaru questioned.

"What's wrong?"

The cherry-colored girl responded calmly.

This academy belongs to Destiny, and it has the same name as the organization that fights against Honkai that his best friend once mentioned.

Through reading books recently, she has come to understand that the destiny now is not the same as the destiny that Kallen once belonged to.

The old Mandate of Heaven was overthrown by the new Mandate of Heaven, which had lasted from more than five hundred years ago to the present day.

It should be said that the current Scheme is more in line with his best friend's former ideals, and is committed to fighting the Collapse and protecting the world.

In this case, she also took care to stay here and provide some help to the people here.

For her, who feels as if she is in another world after her resurrection, this is her motivation to continue taking action.

"Ha ha……"

Feiyukumaru showed a mocking expression and said:

"You only helped that guy deal with the Herrscher once. You don't really think you are a righteous partner, do you?"

"…It is precisely because the past is too painful to look back on that I must continue to atone for my sins."

Yaezakura replied calmly.

"It's a nice thought, but how long can you avoid me?"

Feiyuwan said in a low voice:

"You don't even have the courage to accept my power like the girl who controls thunder and lightning."

"..."

"You are different from her. That girl was able to overcome the will of Honkai, but you can't. You are just a coward who can't get rid of the past."

"……roll."

As Yaezakura's expression froze slightly, the pitch-black giant fox was forced to disperse again.

Even though Feiyuwan had been silenced by her, she was no longer in the mood to continue reading the book in her hand.

The cherry-colored girl looked up at the clock and stood up.

Let's just prepare breakfast. It's time to wake him up.

At this moment, Yaezakura's fox ears moved slightly.

——She heard some noise at the entrance, the sound of the door opening.

"...!"

It's not uncommon for people to visit Mingyu's house on weekends.

She possessed the Herrscher of Thunder with whom Mingyu had fought...a girl named Raiden Mei, who came here every weekend.
