Honkai Impact 3rd: I picked up a Seele at the start of the game.

Chapter 219 Taking a Break + Alicia's Invitation

……

(The Australian storyline serves as a bridge between the past and the future, representing the intersection of dreams and reality, but it doesn't have many details to be revisited or filled in, so the overall plot is somewhat brief.)

Yin's storyline takes a turn when Kevin and Sue happen to rescue her on their way to the concert, which leads to Yin becoming a big fan of Kevin... But there are too many Kevin fans in *The Moth Chaser*, so this side story won't be described in detail.

The next day, early morning.

He, who usually comes to play with Xier early in the morning, hasn't come today.

Seele knew he wanted to give himself time to "calm down and accept reality." But girls are such strange creatures; when he came, Seele felt awkward; when he didn't come, Seele felt even worse…

Burying her head in the cat-shaped pillow that was actually the Great Free Heaven, Seele let out a weak "Ah—" and then remained in that position for a long time like a doll.

"—?"

The phone rang. A cheerful voice came from the other end: "My dear Seele~ It's been so long! Did you miss me?"

Seele said weakly, "Probably not..."

"Huh???" Hearing Seele's voice, Alicia panicked a little: "Seele, are you sick?"

"No... I'm just a little too lazy to talk..."

Alicia patted her chest, relieved. "That's good. Hmm... were you in a bad mood?"

Seele: "...Hmm."

At this point, Alicia, who had only wanted to chat with Seele, suddenly had a good idea.

She said, "If you're feeling down, why not go out for a walk? The Firemoth is a military-controlled organization, so it's bound to be a bit stifling. I often take advantage of my free time during missions to go out and have some fun~"

Seele pouted. Even at this point in the storyline, Alicia still wanted to lure her away? She absolutely...!

I will definitely consider it.

It's good to clear your head. These past few days, Xi'er really hasn't wanted to see Yun Fuyu, especially since there's still a part of her heart called "Dead Xi'er"! If Xi'er were to give even the slightest hint, Dead hope and Yun Fuyu would definitely sneak off to meet in the middle of the night!

Damn it, did they even consider Seele's feelings about being forced to synchronize her senses?! (Looks like they did? The conclusion is: isn't this even more exciting?)

Having thought about this, there's nothing more to say, I, hope, am definitely going on this trip!

Seele sat up: "Do you have any recommendations?"

Alicia, who was originally just "taking a shot whether she had a chance or not," ended up "shooting down a little Seele."

Of course, she wouldn't miss this opportunity to reconnect with her "younger sister." After a moment's thought, she suggested, "How about going to Australia? I'll let you in on a secret: Eden has decided to hold a concert there next year. Maybe we'll even run into her if we go now!"

Of course, Alicia actually knows Eden's whereabouts, but she must protect Eden's privacy "from the outside world."

Things always happen so coincidentally. Without much thought, Seele agreed.

However, unlike in the past, Alicia will not directly kidnap Seele.

Who would do something so rude!

……

"Want to go out and clear your head?"

After hearing Xi'er's idea, Yun Fuyu did not refuse: "Sure, you can go if you want."

He agreed so quickly that Seele couldn't help but have all sorts of wild thoughts: Did he hate Seele now? Had Seele been causing too much trouble lately? Was it...?

Yun Fuyu then added, "Remember Ethan, the mastermind behind the last time we were framed? Apparently, he's up to his old tricks again, so May specifically sent me to assassinate him."

He then muttered to himself, "Of course, Mei must also want to know if my intelligence has returned to normal, which is why she specifically asked me to go."

This can be considered a test for Mei. If he passes the test, given his status as Yun Fuyu (one of Mei's top bodyguards, a fusion warrior, and someone with close ties to the Herrschers), he will definitely be highly valued by Mei, and may even be directly added to the decision-making body.

Therefore, this is also a rare opportunity for Yun Fuyu, allowing him to directly participate in the story of the pre-civilization.

After hearing the whole story, Seele felt a little better. She said lightly, "Remember to pick me up at the airport when I get back from Australia."

She was actually subtly asking: Aren't you going to follow the "original plot" and go find Seele?

Yun Fuyu: "I'll come to Australia to find you as soon as I finish my mission. But don't go to any remote places, okay? Don't let me lose track of you."

The second sentence means: I still care about you, so please don't stray too far from me.

Xi'er's mood undoubtedly improved a lot. She and Yun Fuyu chatted "openly and secretly" as they packed their luggage and prepared for their trip.

……

……

Night fell as scheduled.

To be honest, Yun's addiction to Xier has flared up again.

I want to touch that cute girl's head, smell the fragrance of her hair, hug her soft body, and hear her speak to me in her gentle, sweet voice...

But this time was different: although he really wanted to see Seele, he didn't want to see her right now.

He needed to give Seele ample time to think and prepare. He himself also needed to mentally prepare—to be honest, if Seele hadn't guaranteed that "she would handle Bronya," he himself would have been a little upset. But now… as the one who benefited, he should stop gloating!

After looking at the photos Xier had sent on her phone, Yun Fuyu smiled knowingly and prepared to pack her things to head to Australia.

Just then, Mei suddenly called—

"Ms. Eden is taking the Moth Chaser flight to Australia tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. How about you assist the Fifth Squad in ensuring her safety?"

"...I'd be extremely happy to."

Things are always so strange; everything came full circle, forming a complete loop.

After packing his things, he left the dormitory, lay down on the lawn under the moonlight, gazed at the gentle moon, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

"..."

The moon goddess opened her eyes and looked at him calmly.

One glance is enough to span 100 million years from the Cretaceous period to the present.
