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

Chapter 233 The Great Operation to Protect Integrity (Pants)!

……

Far East, Changkong City.

Six years ago, the Herrscher of Thunder descended upon this place, and the Great Collapse almost wiped the Far East off the map completely, but the survivors still rallied their spirits and tried to rebuild their homes.

So, after six years, the city has barely recovered some of its former glory—but only a little.

just now.

The magnificent warship landed here, and the base staff rushed around, setting up the scaffolding and anchor. A moment later, the hatch slowly opened.

Once the air pressure equalized, the combat personnel inside the warship lined up and left the ship via the floating pedestrian bridge. Yun Fuyu and Xier blended in and quietly slipped away at the opportune moment.

Yes, this warship actually belongs to the United Nations. After receiving the news that the United Nations was sending troops, Mei immediately notified Yun Fuyu. Yun Fuyu and Xier practically flew to the airport and then sneaked in.

...Yeah, if they can fly, why do they need to hitch a ride on a warship? Wouldn't it be better to just fly over or teleport over?

Yun Fuyu indicated that he did not want to answer the question. If you really want to know the reason, it's because that's Mei's arrangement, and he's too lazy to make his own.

~

Holding their passports, they booked a room at an international hotel. After quickly settling in, Yunxi and her companion left the hotel together.

Seele, seemingly eager to try, asked, "Shall we go find Shesa now?"

Shesa is a serpentine Honkai Beast, powerful and cunning, which often burrows underground to ambush people. To defeat it, one needs not only sufficient strength but also ample patience and reconnaissance skills to search for it.

Yun Fuyu shook his head: "Mei's arrangement is for us to wait for the right opportunity, meaning that we should wait until the defeat of the United Nations is certain before we aggressively seize the kills."

Seele was a little worried: "But those soldiers..."

Those soldiers who were practically used as cannon fodder, who knows how many of them will die?

Yun Fuyu patted Xier's head: "I knew you would worry about them. How about this, you and I will modify a logic chain together, and we will work together to save everyone's lives."

Seele was still worried: "There's no need to use your power so frequently. I've always been concerned that you might be assimilated by that power, or that there might be some other consequences..."

Even the power of the end needs to be sifted through countless eras before finally finding "Kiana" to accept its embrace. How could the power of a god above gods be so easily borne?

Even Seele, having gathered all three wonders, only embodies one percent of divine power.

Yun Fuyu thought about it and realized she had been a bit reckless. She should use this power as little as possible!

He sighed, "I was hoping to take this opportunity to go on a date with you. But since we're both worried about each other, let's just go to Sangsha instead."

Seele tugged at his sleeve, smiling cautiously, "Thank you, I need you to accommodate Seele's feelings..."

Yun Fuyu choked on her breath: "Why are you switching voice packs??"

Seele blinked her innocent big eyes: "Um... because we're in Changkong City, we're just doing as the locals do..."

Yun Fuyu was speechless for a moment, then suddenly became excited!

"Seele, can you say ****** in the Far Eastern language?!"

"Can't!"

"What about ******?"

"Dah!"

"Not even ******?"

"できません!"

Seele blushed, glared at him angrily, and strode forward, refusing to acknowledge him any longer!

The whispers of the apoptosis-like hope hovered like a demon: "Oh dear, next time we flirt, let's just use this."

Seele covered her ears: I don't want to hear it! ...

How terrible it is to have a self that's completely useless around instigating you!

Just between us: Actually, the more Seele gives away freebies, the less she wants to deliver food to Seele's door. She wants to protect the integrity (and panties) that belong to Seele and her fans!

……

(Japanese-Chinese phonetic transcription table:)

ごめんなさい--go men na sai--Sorry

あの--a no-- is an interjection, or a drawn-out "this..."

できません--de ki ma sen--No! )

……

A few hours later.

As Yun Fuyu and Xier were idly waiting at Shesha's hiding place, a pink figure suddenly crossed their line of sight, inevitably attracting their attention.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the curiosity in each other's eyes. Without a word, Xi'er continued to keep watch, while Yun Fuyu quickly gave chase.

Before the pink figure could leave the street, Yun Fuyu caught up with her and greeted her first: "Alicia, what are you doing here?"

Alicia's body suddenly trembled slightly, as if she had made up her mind, before she turned around and stared blankly at Yun Fuyu.

He waved his hand again: "What's wrong?"

“…It’s nothing. Where’s Seele? Aren’t you two always inseparable?” Alicia looked past him, seemingly searching for Seele.

Yun Fuyu was completely unguarded with her and revealed the purpose of her and Xier's visit: to complete Mei's mission, but they were worried that Shesha would hurt too many people, so they had been waiting here in advance.

Alicia was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Is it really necessary for you to go to this extent for some soldiers you've never even met?"

Yun Fuyu's gaze turned strange. He scanned Alicia up and down, and after confirming that it was indeed no one else, he asked, "Shouldn't you be the one asking this question?"

Alicia, you are the "humanity" you gave me. Therefore, my personality, wishes, emotions, temperament... will largely overlap with yours.

If you possessed the power I have now, and faced this situation, what would you do?

Alicia was still somewhat dazed, staring at Yun Fuyu, making him feel uneasy. Yun Fuyu looked around, scratching his head in confusion, and finally asked, "Um, what are you doing here? Aren't you stationed in Australia? Did Mei assign you a new mission?"

Alicia snapped out of her daze, suppressed the flutter in her heart, took a deep breath, and then gave her her usual smile: "No, I actually came to play with Seele~"

Her expression quickly changed, and she looked angry: "I sent Xier a lot of beautiful clothes in Australia, and my reward was that she take photos of them and send them to me, but I still haven't received them! Yun Fuyu, did you interfere?"

Photo...?

Hahaha, are you referring to that Yun & hope duo photo set? I'm just waiting for you to ask for it!

Yun laughed inwardly, but his face was full of grievance: "I didn't! If you don't believe me, I'll take you to Xi'er right now, and you can ask her for it yourself."

Alicia, unsuspecting, said, "Let's go, let's go!"

One person in front and one person behind, they traversed the ruins and returned to their hiding place. Yun Fuyu landed gracefully and winked at Xier, saying, "Xier, Alicia is here to ask you for your photos. Are you ready?"

Seele didn't expect that Alicia had come for this reason, but it was just in time. Anyway, the hole had already been dug, and now little Seele was going to wield the shovel of pure love and bury this evil pink-haired girl in it!

Seele gave a warm and sweet smile: "Of course I'm ready, I just haven't had a chance to send it to Ellie yet~ If you really want to see it, you can use my phone to watch it first?"

At this moment, Alicia also put aside those thoughts and, with the idea of ​​"seriously appreciating the beautiful girl," stepped forward and took Seele's phone—

On the screen, a portrait photo was enlarged to full screen. Seele wore a white dress resembling a wedding gown, while Yun Fuyu wore a matching handsome white suit. The boy stood in front, making a heart shape with his hands in front of his chest. Seele stood behind him, half a body length taller, and made a large heart shape with her arms.

In the photo, Yun Fuyu's smile seems somewhat forced, but Xier's smile is genuinely sweet.

Alicia suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points!

Seele's gentle voice came through: "Seele took over a hundred couple photos with Ayun while wearing those clothes~~ Every single one is beautiful! If you want to see them, Sister Aili, I'll send them to you now?"

"..."

Alicia looked at the photo and remained silent for a long time.

At first, Yun Fuyu and Xi'er thought she had suffered a severe blow and were secretly laughing. But Alicia remained silent for too long, making it obvious that something was wrong. They stopped joking and moved closer to observe her condition—

The girl's fingers rested on the screen, as if caressing the image reflected there. Tears blurred her vision, but her smile grew even brighter.

"cloud……"

She murmured his/her name involuntarily. It was the name she had given him.

Clouds drift aimlessly in the wind, eventually condensing and falling to the earth as rain.

The rain that returns to the world... how foolish.

"...??"

Seele suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points!

For a moment, Seele even felt that her memory was faulty: Alicia had always shown that she was more interested in Seele than in Yun Fuyu, so why was she not paying any attention to Seele now, but instead kept touching Yun's face (in the photo), calling his name, and even... seemed to be crying?

Xi'er looked up at Yun Fuyu with a questioning and doubtful look. Yun Fuyu looked completely bewildered and shook his head, indicating that he hadn't done anything and knew nothing.

"Um, Alicia..."

Seele's worried voice roused the girl from her emotional reverie. Alicia looked up, staring blankly at Yun and Seele standing side by side in front of her.

'Is this the kind of story, this kind of ending... really what we hoped for?'

She struggled to suppress her inner turmoil, feigning indifference, praising the couple in the photo as a perfect match, complimenting her own taste in clothing, and watching their elaborate displays of affection with a hint of envy… In the end, instead of saying goodbye, she made a request:

"During my stay in the Far East, may I temporarily travel with you? I'm also afraid of a beautiful young woman traveling alone."

She said it in a pitiful tone.

Yun Fuyu and Xier exchanged a glance, and having no reason to refuse, they agreed.
