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

Chapter 68 The Concealment of a Two-Way Trip

……

At this moment, every time Seele takes a step with her right foot, the sound of the shallow water being ripped open and the crisp sound of the bells ringing are enough to attract anyone's attention.

Yun Fuyu used almost all the willpower he had in his life to finally turn his gaze to Xi'er's face. But at this moment, she was smiling shyly, and her bright eyes seemed to speak volumes, blinking as they told him her feelings.

Isn't this what you want to see?

how do you feel?

hee hee~

Yun Fuyu blinked hard and extended her hand to Xier: "Sit down and let's talk."

Seele accepted the invitation and sat on the large sofa, crossing her legs and hiding them under the glass coffee table. She glanced at him and said, "Is it time for truth again?"

During the time they knew each other, Yun Fuyu told Xier many lies, such as that he came from the Fire Moth and that he knew Alicia. However, these lies became insignificant as the revelation of Yun Fuyu's identity as a time traveler diminished the meaning of the concealment.

But this hallucinatory journey led them to discover that they had been hiding things from each other. However, before dwelling on "why" they were hiding things, openness and honesty were their preferred way of interacting.

Yun Fuyu nodded: "Yes, I will try my best to explain and tell you as much as I know."

He suddenly moved closer to Seele, looking at her with a half-smile: "But I have a question that needs to be answered first: Seele, what's wrong with your feet? From shoes to socks to bare feet, and now you've even put bells on them?"

Xi'er was secretly pleased with his averted gaze, but was suddenly caught off guard by his direct approach! In Xi'er's eyes, Yun Fuyu's feelings were more reserved than hers, which was why she was so unrestrained in playing tricks. But it turned out that Yun had changed his ways?

Seele involuntarily pulled her foot back, her face flushing red: "I... Seele doesn't know what you're talking about!"

Yun Fuyu clicked her tongue: "Tsk, I thought Xi'er had reached the age where she knew how to dress up."

Seele: "...Yes, yes, this is Seele trying out a new look..."

Yun Fuyu: "But you can't wear this outfit out lately. If someone sees it, I'll be incredibly jealous."

"Of course Seele wouldn't wear that out...wait...wait??"

Seele blinked. He meant he was jealous, right? To put it another way, it seemed like... he thought Seele was...?

Yun Fuyu was certainly not a blockhead, but the moral constraints in his heart always made him feel that he and Xier had not known each other for long enough, their feelings were not deep enough, and their relationship had not progressed enough... so he had been suppressing himself.

However, since Seele has repeatedly used this method to trick him, he should definitely seize the opportunity!

Seeing Xier's surprised and embarrassed expression, Yun Fuyu continued, "Actually, it's like what I said a long time ago—when I found out that Xier had left, I was anxious and angry, and I didn't want Xier to leave."

Seele's voice was weak: "Well... Seele also said that she wouldn't leave you until we escape the Honkai."

She also reminisced about the days when they traveled together.

Yun Fuyu chuckled inwardly, even feeling overjoyed that Xier had found her groove.

He said to Seele, "But the Honkai is shrouding the world, and the world is in great danger now."

As expected, Seele clicked with him. Her shyness gradually disappeared, and her expression became more serious, but her words were not calm and rational reflections, but rather a gentle and emotional outpouring.

"Then, Seele will always be by your side to help you until we defeat the Honkai."

"Yes, thank you so much. I'm so lucky to have such a lovely and gentle girl like Seele supporting me."

They smiled at each other.

"..."

Now, let's get to the main topic.

The two sat up straight, and Yun Fuyu asked first, "You said I'm related to the End, and what about that meteorite chalk thing? What exactly is going on?"

Seele replied, "This happened when Seele was a Herrscher. The withered Seele told me..."

I recognize you, you are not human...

The inhabitants of the "Tree" should not have love or hate, much less be born into the mortal world. I witnessed with my own eyes you and the "Meteorite" fall into the "Cretaceous"... but that was clearly something that happened countless years ago.

Why are you here blocking my way?

"The Herrscher's consciousness separated and regained consciousness because he observed your existence. In the time that followed, I gradually realized that everything special about you was related to this dream, so I guessed that you might be related to the End—this is just a guess, and I don't know if it's right or wrong."

After answering his question, Seele said in return, "Alicia, she must be a very special person. You told me before that 'Alicia can be trusted,' could you tell me more about her?"

Yun Fuyu hesitated, "Alishia's story... I really don't want to tell anyone else. On one hand, it's definitely not a beautiful story, and on the other hand, I hope to change that story and end all the tragedies in my memory."

"Well then, I can tell you that Alicia, like you, is also a Herrscher who has broken free from the control of the Honkai."

The words are astonishing.

But Seele accepted it calmly, because in her mind, with her own precedent, it was not surprising that others would have the opportunity to escape the control of the Honkai.

But this calmness was really strange. After observing carefully, Yun Fuyu suspected that she had changed her number again.

Seele said thoughtfully, "No wonder she's so affectionate towards me, always sticking close to me, even less reserved than you..."

reserved……

Yun Fuyu coughed twice. Okay, he was indeed being reserved. Otherwise, given their intertwined fates and the fact that Xi'er didn't dislike him, he wouldn't have only vaguely said "I won't leave you" just now...

Seele: "So, does that mean we can also take the initiative to contact Alicia? Her identity is as special as Seele's, and we are natural allies."

Yun: "I suspect that it's because Alicia spoke up for you that Mebius is hesitant to confirm your identity as a Herrscher. Mebius is a very suspicious person, and he doesn't mince words or actions, but he has never questioned you. Instead, he has been trying to trick me repeatedly."

Möbius actually had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. If he tried to trick Yun Fuyu, even if he guessed wrong, he would only be annoyed by her for a while, because he wasn't afraid of her at all. But if he went to question Seele, and guessed wrong, that could destroy the little girl's innocent heart.

Seele narrowed her eyes slightly: "If you ask me, it would be better to just—"

Yun Fuyu interrupted her: "My dear Xier, please calm down! Our goal is to integrate into the world and live a good life, not to destroy it!"

"Who is your dear!"

Seele rolled her eyes, then suddenly raised one leg high and placed it on the coffee table. Bell swayed gently, and that damn fair skin drew someone's attention away again.

She smiled smugly to herself, and continued in that position, "Let's leave this matter here and discuss the next part of the script."

Yun Fuyu forcefully pulled her gaze back: "Oh..."

...Damn it, there's no going back.
