I already said this is not a life simulator!

Mebius snorted lightly and made no comment.

"anyway……"

Mei suddenly spoke up as they passed through the corridor.

"Do you think the rain has been going on for too long?"

"Hmm? It seems so... Although the rain is not heavy, it has been raining for several days and there is no sign of stopping."

Alicia looked at the drizzle outside the window and said with some confusion.

"But it should stop soon, right?"

"……hope so."

Mei slowly withdrew her gaze and no longer paid attention to the rain outside the window.

"........."

Mebius narrowed her eyes slightly, as if thinking about something... But unfortunately, the conference room was right in front of her, so she had to suppress this thought for the time being.

…………

………………

"Well... OK, I understand... I'm sorry to bother you these few days, Miss Fidel. Xiwang still needs to rest these days, so I'm afraid I can't go back. Well, I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Gunn... OK, I will go back."

"Phew... I'm sorry, Sakura. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to take care of him for the next few days."

After ending the call, Eden said with a hint of apology.

"That's not a problem... But if Xi Wang doesn't see you when he wakes up, he'll probably be very nervous, right?"

Ying asked softly, and at the same time gestured to Xiwang who was sleeping on her thighs, her words sounding quite worried... It was not that she intended to do this, but Xiwang took the initiative to rub against her in his sleep.

Only in this way, when Sakura's scent lingered around him, could his frowned brows in his sleep relax a little. It seemed that only in this way could he get rid of the nightmare that was unknown to others.

...By the way, Eden can do it too, so during these days, the two of them took turns to take care of him while he was sleeping, and based on observations over the past few days, it was best for both of them to be by his side, otherwise he would always appear particularly panicked after waking up, and that fragile look was surprising and also pitiful.

"…That's true. You can't just leave without saying goodbye."

Eden nodded, then stepped forward and shook Xiwang gently.

"Xiwang... wake up..."

"……Well?"

Xi Wang opened his eyes a little dazedly and made a cute puzzled sound... Obviously, he had not woken up yet, but was just responding to Eden's call in a daze.

"I have to go... I'm sorry, we still have things to deal with. If you want to see me, just call me directly on video chat. I will answer it no matter what time it is."

"Okay... Eden..."

Xiwang propped himself up in a daze, gently grasped Eden's hand and squeezed it a few times, as if to confirm whether she was still there, and then he gently hugged him, rubbing his head affectionately in her arms, and said sullenly.

"I'm sorry for making you worry..."

"I'm just... a little sleepy... I'll be fine after sleeping for a while... "

He murmured quietly.

"Yes, I know, Xiwang, we all know it."

Eden nodded and spoke softly, then gestured to Ying, and together with her, he took the confused Xiwang, supported him and slowly walked into the room, put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

Immediately, Yiden gently handed Xiwang's hand to Ying to prevent Xiwang from having another nightmare... After the experiences of the past few days, they had become very skilled.

"If anything happens, tell me."

Before leaving, Eden mouthed to Sakura, who nodded in understanding.

"........."

"call……"

The room fell into silence again, leaving only the sound of slight breathing.

"Sakura...you're here, right?"

I don’t know if it’s because of the loss of a familiar breath, Xi Wang’s confused voice became a little flustered, and a little frightened.

"Well, I'm here."

"I'm sorry... for making you worry..."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

"I'll just take a short nap... just a little while..."

"it is good."

"…Sakura, you're still here, right?"

"Well, I'm here."

"Okay... that's good..."

After receiving a response again, Xi Wang seemed to have finally let go of his nervous heart. He no longer forced himself to stay awake and gradually fell asleep, no longer holding Ying's hand tightly.

"Thank you...really...thank you..."

"I love you the most... Sakura..."

"...Well, I like you the most, too."

Ying paused slightly, feeling the strength in Xiwang's hand gradually relaxing, she smiled softly and pinched his palm in return, as if telling him - don't worry, she is by his side.

...Although she knew that Xiwang's words were spoken in a hazy state, and although she knew that in his heart, her status was probably still not as high as Eden's, but... Ying was still very happy to hear him say that. Her face turned slightly red with shyness, and her heart was filled with joy.

Therefore, she responded with a smile and expressed her feelings to him... Ying felt that there must be something wrong with her that she would have such a big reaction to Xi Wang's simple words.

But... I don't hate it.

Because at this time, Ying discovered for the first time that Xi Wang was not as dazzling as the stars or as strong as diamonds as others saw him to be... He also had moments of being so fragile and so frightened.

And... this fragility and panic seemed to be because of her and Eden... which made Sakura even happier.

As expected... there must be something wrong with me.

Sakura smiled helplessly.

Just like this, Ying stayed quietly by Xiwang's side, like a flower blooming in silence, until his breathing became steady and he fell into a deep sleep.

After confirming that Xiwang was in a deep sleep, Ying gently released Xiwang's hand, tucked in the quilt for him, then quietly left the bedroom and began to clean the room in an orderly manner.

tick-

Outside the window, the rain was still falling gently, and the moist air was blown in through the gaps in the doors and windows by the wind, adding a bit of coolness to the room.

Thanks to her experience in taking care of her younger sister Ling, Ying has a lot of experience in taking care of people. She is also quite skilled in housekeeping and quickly cleaned the house.

Finally, Ying returned to Xiwang's side... I don't know if Xiwang noticed something in the middle of the process, but his body curled up as if he was afraid, his brows were furrowed, and his face showed panic, even fear.

"cherry……"

He recited it softly, with a hint of tears and great sadness.

He had a nightmare again - Ying understood and gently held his hand, trying to give him some comfort.

But this time, it seemed that just doing this was not enough... He was still in panic, and a few tears flowed from his tightly closed eyes, running down his face.

"........."

Ying was silent, and then looked around, as if she was worried that someone might be watching her.

Then, Sakura seemed to realize that what she was doing was somewhat unnecessary, and she smiled helplessly...it turned out that something was wrong with her.

Looking at Xi Wang who was still trapped in a nightmare, she seemed to have decided something. She walked forward gently, with a faint floral scent on her body, bent down, raised her hand, and tucked her cherry-like long hair behind her ears.

After hesitating for a while, she left a light kiss on the corner of his mouth with a slightly red face, like a dragonfly touching the water.

"Don't worry, Xiwang..."

she said softly.

"I'm here."

After saying that, she sat down beside the bed, holding his hand with one hand, and gently wiping his tears and smoothing his frown with the other hand.

Slowly, his dreams seemed to be soaked in the faint floral scent on her body, becoming beautiful and peaceful.

"call……"

In her company, he fell asleep peacefully.

tick-

The rain outside seemed to have stopped.

Chapter 5476 Sure enough, hope is a good word ()

[After resting for 7 full days, you have completely recovered, no longer sleepy, your daily routine has returned to normal, and you even look a lot more energetic]

[After discovering that you had recovered, the Fire Moth immediately checked you. In the end, apart from being able to detect a slight Honkai reaction from you, there were no other problems, which made many people feel relieved.]

[And in response to everyone's advice to "stay away from the beach", you readily agreed... You can't make everyone worry anymore]

[The only pity is that if you want to see "Skadi", it will be difficult... After all, you can no longer go to the beach, and "Skadi" can't come ashore...]

[However, apart from this matter, Mei also discussed with you the problem of your "dream"... After all, judging from your previous sleepiness, your "nightmare" seriously affected your spirit, and when you showed that "fragile" look, it was also the stage when your Honkai energy was relatively active.]

[This situation has already confirmed the inference that "Honkai energy can affect the mind"... It is better to say that "patients with "Honkai disease" will gradually become irritable as their condition worsens" This fact can already prove this point, but this time your situation will be clearer.]

[After all, you only had a slight reaction to Honkai energy, and there were no signs of "Honkai Disease" or Honkai erosion. But even so, it has seriously affected your spirit... This is not good news.]

[In order to prepare for the "herrs" that may appear in the future and target the spiritual realm, Mei tried to get more detailed information from you, and also asked the people in the Fifth Science Department to research the corresponding drugs... In any case, it is always good to be prepared in advance.]

[Unfortunately, the "nightmare" that you could clearly feel before, after you woke up, became just like an ordinary dream. The content of the dream quickly faded in your mind, leaving only a faint impression.]

[You instinctively want to recall that memory, but something blocks your exploration and tells you that it is "protecting" you. At this time, you cannot accept that memory. Later, when you become stronger, this memory will naturally emerge... Strange, why do you have such an idea? ]

[Although you were confused, you still suppressed the urge to recall, and Mei was unable to learn more information from you, which was somewhat regrettable.]

[But there is one thing you still remember... that is the blue sea water, the water that submerged everything, the entire planet. You remember it, and you told it to Mei, asking her to pay attention to it.]

[After discussing with Mebius and others, Mei believes that the flood that submerged everything in your dream is just because the "song" that affects you came from the sea, so you magnified this feature in your dream. It should be fine... But this also reminds Mei that the problem of the ocean does need attention.]

[At the same time, Mebius discovered that when you sing, the slight Honkai energy emanating from your body will also rhythmically move with it, with a unique "melody", pulling the surrounding Honkai energy and leading it to stability, making it become stable and temporarily losing its terrifying corrosiveness]

[In other words, your song has become more powerful and more "visible", and you can now try to "copy" it]

[But there is a problem. The "melody" that appears with your singing will continue to draw the Honkai energy to you and guide it to stability... This means that as long as you sing, the Honkai energy around you will increase, and the excessive Honkai energy around you is likely to react with the Honkai energy in your body, and then erode your body...]

[In other words, it is best for you not to stay in areas with too high a concentration of Honkai energy. Even when you are participating in the battle as a "Taunting Doll", it is best not to sing for too long, otherwise you will likely show signs of Honkai erosion.]

[So, even though they know that you really want to use your songs to help others, and you seem particularly happy after knowing that your "characteristics" have been strengthened, everyone also told you that the research on the Honkai energy inhibitor has reached the end stage and will be completed soon. Before that... don't take risks.]

[You nodded in agreement. After all, you didn’t want to make everyone worry anymore.]

[It’s just that… things don’t always go as planned.]

[Under everyone's care, you may not take the initiative to go to those areas with high concentrations of Honkai energy, but... those places can take the initiative to find you]

[After all, the outbreak of Honkai is always sudden and unreasonable]

[Not only that, the one who appeared beside you this time... is a "Great Collapse" at the level of "Herrscher"]

[What’s worse is that the people who became “Herrsers” are from “Fire-Chasing Moths” - Himiko]

--------

The fire was burning...everything was ignited, contaminated by the flames, and then a blazing fire lit up, as if to burn everything to ashes.

Buildings... were collapsing and falling among the panicked crowd, and the audience could hear either wails of pain or cries for help.

But eventually, it will all be drowned out by the noisy collapse and swallowed up by the sound of burning flames.

The sound...cannot be heard anymore. My music, my singing...can no longer reach people's ears.

Is this... Collapse? —Eden thought.

This was the first time she had come into contact with the outbreak of Honkai at such a close distance, and the first time she had felt so clearly the suffocating feeling of oppression.

Originally... this should be her time to shine, her time to sing, her time as a star, bringing glory to everyone.
