Chapter 96 Where is Seele?
Chapter 96 Where is Seele?
……
Before Himeko could make a request, Eden spoke first: "I only spent a few hours in Australia, but I witnessed something that I will never forget."
Himeko: "Oh? What a coincidence, we've had similar experiences. Lady Eden, we're all ears."
Eden sat gracefully in the chair with his legs crossed, his back straight, his left hand resting on his lower abdomen and the base of his thigh, while his right hand held a diamond-encrusted gold cup and gently swayed it.
She said, "Ms. Himeko, with your knowledge and experience, must have heard of the City of Hua's Demise, right?"
"I already knew what a magnificent building the dome would be, but I also witnessed how impoverished the residential areas had become. People had lost their hope for the future, and instead had naked desires for the present."
It is quite obvious that people with higher levels of education and greater confidence in the future tend to be of higher quality.
The greedy gazes on the streets, whether they were directed at Eden herself or at the treasures she possessed, even if people could stand on the moral high ground and despise them, could not deny that this was related to people's lack of proper education and their inability to see the future.
Who puts people at the bottom in such a predicament?
"..."
"The world shouldn't be like this."
The stark contrast between the vast wealth gap, the prosperity of Mu's continent and the "Chinese decline" of Australia, and the contrast between the prosperity of the giant egg and the old city is even more pronounced.
Eden recounted everything she had seen and thought to them in detail. Her voice was as gentle as flowing spring water, a sound that never grew tiresome. Her words were logically structured, allowing them to easily understand her inner thoughts.
Eden: "So, on the one hand, I hope that the Moth of Fire can truly bring change to this world. On the other hand, I hope to do my part to bring brightness to people's eyes and hope to their hearts."
To put it simply, Eden wants to donate to the development of Australia—yes, not to moths drawn to flames.
Because she hadn't seen what the Fire-Chasing Moth looked like, she couldn't easily trust it.
So, the implication is that if Himeko, representing the Fire Moth, can achieve any results, she would be happy to provide funding for the Fire Moth.
Seeing is believing, after all.
Amidst the diverse gazes of the crowd, Eden saw Himeko's approval, Yun Fuyu's praise, Hua's admiration, and... Yin's complex gaze.
But his gaze gradually brightened, and it seemed that the world had gained another die-hard fan of Eden.
Himeko sat upright and nodded solemnly: "Please believe in us. The Moths of Fire will surely lead humanity to victory over the Honkai! We will bring new life to this world!"
These brief words revealed the undeniable determination of this woman who bore a striking resemblance to Himeko.
In a daze, Yun Fuyu even thought he really saw Himeko, the former Hyperion captain whose voice was powerful and resonant on the battlefield.
After finishing the main topic and engaging in awkward small talk for a while, Eden was about to call the waiter to prepare dinner for them when Yun Fuyu suddenly received a number of text messages—from Möbius.
"We haven't been able to find Alicia's whereabouts, and May isn't planning on using satellite positioning. You could try asking her for help."
"But I have some good news. I found out that Alicia has taken on a mission in Australia. She always finishes her missions early and then has fun, so you still have a chance to find her."
"Also, Alicia's spending records match the mission location perfectly. Good luck finding your missing Seele! Remember to teach that pink-haired girl a lesson, and don't forget to record a video or stream it to me!"
Yun Fuyu immediately opened the map to check the location of Alicia marked by Mebius.
?
"This……"
Are you in the same city as him?

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
Let's go back to noon on the day Seele disappeared.
After lunch, Seele left the cafeteria absentmindedly and headed towards her dormitory. Behind her, the little gray cat, the embodiment of the Great Free Heaven, followed her closely, occasionally pouncing on the crickets and grasshoppers around her, examining them for a while on its plump paws, then shaking its paws and hurrying forward to catch up with Seele.
Perhaps sensing Seele's unusual behavior, the little gray cat meowed twice, seemingly asking Seele to stop. Seele slowly stopped, turned around, picked it up, and stroked its chin as she said weakly, "Sister isn't in a good mood, so don't meow anymore."
The little gray cat stuck out its delicate tongue and licked Seele's even more tender face. Its light purple eyes stared at Seele curiously, as if asking her what had happened.
Seele buried her face in its fur and whimpered softly, but refused to say what had happened.
But Seele herself remembered it all too clearly.
That night, they went home separately, and Seele found a set of cat ears that Velvet had sent her in her room—well, cat ears was Velvet's euphemism at the time; it was actually a cat maid set! It included a fluffy cat tail that swayed with its hormone levels!
After experiencing the fireworks display and tasting a familiar-smelling chocolate, Seele, in a moment of infatuation, tried on the clothes herself.
Hello, would you like to use Seele's services?
After saying those words in a pretentiously gentle manner, the cat's tail swayed wildly at Seele's tailbone, as if to tell Seele: You're *moved*!
That feeling of shyness, embarrassment, and longing... is completely indescribable.
From that night on, Seele began to dream of strange things every day. The contents of her dreams… please don't imagine any further! Seele has dignity too!
A Seele player offered to help, but her idea was either a self-reward or a freebie, so Seele promptly rejected it.
To reiterate what I said before, Seele hopes to provide her beloved with a better romantic experience, so this aspect is certainly part of it, isn't it? Since ancient times, there have been virtues of purity and chastity, which Seele naturally does not want to violate.
The result was predictable: with someone showering her with care and concern during the day and sharing a deep connection with her in her dreams every night, the strange dreams only intensified, and the stirrings in her heart continued to fester...
Today I suddenly heard that the fifth squad is about to go to Australia. Yun Fuyu's message is that he is "still trying to persuade Mei to come and see her."
Tricky, disappointed, expectant, hopeful... a mix of completely opposite emotions caused Seele to appear lost and unwilling to explain.
"Hi?~ My dear Seele, it's been so long! Did you miss me?"
Just as Seele buried her face in the cat fur and reminisced about the past, someone suddenly patted her shoulder, accompanied by a light, cheerful, and pleasant voice.
Seele looked up, and sure enough, a beautiful pink-haired girl was smiling at her. Her smile was so bright and radiant, it was even more dazzling than the sunlight.
