Alicia felt a little awkward. Kevin seemed to be... still the same at heart, still kind, but how come he was almost like Kosmo?
Alicia pouted in dissatisfaction, looking at Kevin who had almost embarrassed her.
"Is there anything else?" Kevin asked, looking across at the other person.
"Understood, I'm leaving."
Kevin walked past them and started walking behind him, his unhurried footsteps fading into the distance.
As Kevin and Alicia's figures intersected...
Alicia called softly, "Kevin!"
The sound stopped, the footsteps halted, but Kevin did not turn around.
"We'll always be there, you...you're not alone! We'll be waiting for you!?"
"Heh—" The faint laughter seemed like an illusion. He continued walking without looking back.
...
“Ellie?” Luo Mo asked.
"What's wrong? Miss Pink Fairy seems a little down right now," she said, looking at the stunning sea view through the glass dome, her mind unsettled.
"Besides, isn't it that I'm no longer involved? Now that Kevin has come out, there's no evidence to suggest whether the Sea of Quanta will affect the existence of the Stigmata."
"It's rare to see Alicia, who's always so cheerful, unhappy at times," Luo Mo said from the side.
"Everyone has unhappy moments, and besides, Kevin... what will happen to him in the end? I find that I can't persuade him at all,"
Alicia spoke in a low voice, glancing down at her delicate, fair hands. "Even I have things I can't do! From the moment we met, I knew his heart was like a block of ice; he was already dead, merely living to follow his plan."
"..." Luo Mo did not offer any words of comfort; he did not know how to begin.
“Without realizing it, Kevin has become like this…” Alicia looked at the ocean with a sense of loss, deep and cold, just like Kevin.
"Sigh, never mind, let's just bring Kevin out of Paradise. The Thirteen Heroes really do need thirteen people. I miss everyone a bit."
“Ellie…I promise you a happy ending,” Luo Mo wrote, offering a hollow promise.
He wanted to win back not only Wendy and Himeko, but also change the ending of Alicia and Kevin's story.
Heroes should not end their lives in that way.
"But even I can't do anything about it, do you?" Alicia's smile was tinged with sadness and helplessness.
Even after defeating the Honkai, he was heartbroken. Perhaps, he had already died when Mei died.
"What if he could turn things around, save Mei, and give the world a second chance..."
Alicia's eyes widened, not understanding what Luo Mo meant.
...
"Are you ready, Bronya? Entering the Sea of Quanta requires certain qualifications. Don't force yourself if you're not up to the task," Einstein said calmly.
Bronya nodded emphatically and said earnestly, "Bronya will not give up!"
She didn't say whether she could do it or not. She was only one step away. Would she back down?
She finally understood what Luo Mo meant back then: saving her sister was something she had to do herself!
Seele believed in herself so much, she refused everyone's help, how could she say she couldn't do it! Even if she couldn't, she had to go for it!
Meanwhile, Luo Mo and Fu Hua were also ready.
Contrary to Luo Mo's expectations, he did not sense any rejection from the Sea of Quanta; he simply felt nothing at all.
To be honest, he even wanted to use that as an excuse not to go in!
However, looking at Fu Hua, who was calm and composed beside him, he felt quite at ease.
"Then, I...no, we're going in."
Bronya watched the deep blue water curtain with bated breath, and after getting ready with the two people beside her, she leaped in.
"Seele, Bronya has come to keep her promise to you!"
In complete darkness and with gravity reversed, all she could feel was the warmth of her hands as she held the hands of her two companions.
It felt like being surrounded by a real ocean, but the sense of oppression vanished in an instant.
It felt like an instant, yet also like an eternity, when Bronya finally felt solid beneath her feet. Opening her eyes, she found herself in a strangely styled environment.
The floorboards are not arranged in parallel; they are separate, floating in the air at different angles, and their colors are also very different from reality.
The sky above and the ground below are no longer the familiar blue sky and land, but instead an endless expanse of deep black and blue.
At this moment, a mature man wearing glasses was lying on the ground not far away, with bloodstains on his mouth and his clothes disheveled, showing obvious signs of a fight.
The three rushed over to check on him and found that he was indeed only seriously injured and unable to move, but not dead.
It will be fine after a while thanks to the Herrscher Core's self-healing ability.
Fu Hua used a simple treatment method from Shenzhou Xue to cure him. Walter Yang coughed twice, his expression pained, and there was some resentment in his eyes.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but he persisted, his voice hoarse, saying, "Don't, don't let the snake leave here."
After saying that, she fainted again and lost consciousness.
Fu Hua sighed. She could only let him remain unconscious, as he would likely have to force himself to wake up again.
She understood why Kevin had used such force; the snake must have been Kevin, and it was inevitable that he would drag things out like this.
Luo Mo's lips twitched, but he made no comment.
Chapter 47 Bronya, you will be stronger than Fu Hua in the future!
The three then decided that Luo Mo would carry Walter Yang on her back to continue exploring. Luo Mo also had the physical qualities of an A-rank Valkyrie, so carrying someone was not a problem.
The space here is different from the outside world; the sense of spatial separation is particularly obvious, and even ordinary people may not be able to distinguish up, down, left, and right.
The three of them looked around, unsure of which way to go.
"Kevin, has he spent thousands of years in a place like this...?"
Fu Hua thought to herself, looking at the deep and lonely scene around her,
Even though all she could remember were vivid images, she still felt sorrow for her former comrades.
Bronya glanced at Lomo, gesturing for him to point out the direction.
Luo Mo glanced at her helplessly. "Bronya, I'm not omnipotent either. Seele is here, but I don't know exactly where she is."
"...So, we're just going to wander around here?" Bronya glanced at the messy and disorderly space, feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.
Luo Mo stroked his chin, pondering, "Logically speaking, shouldn't people who care about each other have some kind of connection in their hearts? That's a must for the main characters, isn't it? Could it be that your relationship with Xi'er isn't deep enough, Ya Ya?"
"...That's the kind of third-rate novel setting. Putting aside whether Bronya is the protagonist or not, don't slander the relationship between Bronya and Seele."
Bronya said helplessly that she should get used to the unreliability of her unscrupulous boss.
However, looking at the scene before her, she also began to wonder, how should she find Seele?
"Fu Hua, do you have any ideas?" Luo Mo asked.
Fu Hua shook her head as well. "If my sword heart hadn't shattered, there might have been a way. Right now, I can only confirm that the direction I'm heading in is correct."
“Wait, Bronya’s got it,” Bronya suddenly said, pulling out a notebook from her backpack and exclaiming confidently.
"We don't know where Seele is, but that doesn't mean Seele, who has been here for a long time, doesn't know where we are. Perhaps we can wait for Seele to come to us."
...
In the boundless quantum sea, bubbles occasionally rise from the deep blue environment. It is far more desolate and safer than the shallower areas.
The dark-skinned girl clutched a notebook tightly to her chest; it was all she owned.
She was still dressed in her student attire: a black and white striped schoolgirl skirt, white knee-high socks covering her legs, and black ankle boots encasing her small feet.
She sat gently on a floating pebble, her blue eyes half-open and half-closed, revealing nostalgia and expectation. Her eyes were pure and azure, like the color of the sea.
She refused the opportunity to go out, waiting for her sister to fulfill her promise to her.
Forget it, you coward. If you ask me, you'd be better off going with that snake! At least he actually has a way.
An impatient voice rose from within, and the dark red figure seemed to whisper in his ear.
Seele didn't panic. She knew that this was her only companion, and she was herself.
"Seele...trust your sister. She said she'll come to save me today."
[Today? Do you even remember the time? Seele, how long have we been trapped here?]
[Besides, do you think we can get out just because Bronya found us? This state allows us to thrive in the Quanta Sea, but returning to reality isn't that easy.]
Seele shook her head, a slight smile playing on her lips. "But my sister said she would take care of everything."
[Hmph! Sister, sister, do you really trust Bronya that much? Didn't what she said earlier serve as a warning? Aren't you afraid she already has another sister?]
"My sister wouldn't do that. But if... if she really does, then there's nothing we can do..."
Seele's azure eyes glazed over, losing their luster as she stared at what was in front of her. Strangely, the smile on her lips remained, which, combined with her unfocused eyes, made her appear somewhat sickly.
【...】
"What should I do? Seele seems to be acting strange. Is it because I've been talking too much about Bronya having two women around lately?"
Black Seele felt a growing anxiety watching this scene. Seele had been experiencing similar issues lately, and she sensed something was wrong. She gritted her teeth and said:
"No, it must be that wretched Bronya's fault!"
[Seele, wake up! There are writings in your notebook!]
"Huh~, what just happened to me?"
As if she had just woken up, Seele's eyes softened again, the smile on her lips faded, and everything was back to normal.
[The message has appeared! Your Bronya is here!]
Seele quickly checked, and sure enough, there were words on a new page of the notebook she was holding.
Seele, Bronya, I'm here to find you!
The girl's shoulders trembled slightly. The long-awaited news had finally arrived. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she sobbed softly.
