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

……

After a while, Yun Fuyu suddenly asked, "Doctor, this Seele seems to be very young. Do you know her age?"

Möbius naturally knew about Seele. She replied, "Fourteen years old."

Yun (surprised): "You're only fourteen and you're already participating in simulated combat training?"

Mebius: "It wasn't like that before. The United Nations even re-signed the Treaty on the Protection of Minors before the Third Herrscher, prohibiting minors from participating in the battles of the Fire Moths. But later, the Honkai became too powerful, and there were indeed many promising young talents, so they had to lift this restriction."

Fun fact: Kevin joined the Firemoth before he even finished high school; he was still a minor.

Fun fact: Kosmo joined the Firemoth after the Fourth Herrscher, but he was still a minor when he participated in the Fusion Warrior surgery. You can imagine how young he was when he joined the Firemoth.

Fun fact: When Alicia joined the Firemoth, she was a "pretty little girl with a noticeably childlike appearance," probably not even an adult yet.

Fun fact: Can you guess how old Eden and Möbius are? Everyone grew up listening to Eden's songs, and Möbius was a founding member of the Firemoth...

Her mind raced, and Mebius was successfully steered away from the topic, even thinking about herself in relation to "age." Then she suddenly remembered Seele's words, "Aunt Mebius," and... she took out all her anger on Yun Fuyu!

She coughed twice loudly: "Alright, stop looking! Now that you've chosen the genes of the Great Free Heaven, I need to prepare for your fusion surgery. You should know that this is an immature project, and life or death is not an option."

Yun Fuyu was indeed a little scared, but the boy wasn't really afraid: "Yeah, I know."

Möbius: "Then let's sign a death and body donation contract?"

Yun Fuyu: "Hmm...hmm?"

Möbius said matter-of-factly, "With your talent, it would be a shame to die. Why not leave your body to me so you can contribute more to my cause?"

Yun Fuyu couldn't help but complain: "Why do you take it so seriously? Why is it a contribution 'for you'?"

If you said it was to contribute to the world, I might just agree because my hormones were pumping!

Mebius seemed to hear his thoughts and rolled his eyes: "I don't want to talk about high-sounding words, they make me nauseous."

"...You've got personality."

Yun Fuyu shook her head and held out her hand: "Then sign it. Tsk, I'm entrusting everything to you."

Möbius: "Stop talking like that, it's disgusting."

"Just kidding."

"I'm not kidding."

"...Haha, that's hilarious."

Yun Fuyu smiled helplessly: He had regained his vitality because of Seele's resurrection and was no longer cold to Mebius, but Mebius, seeing that Yun Fuyu had already "fallen into my trap," was too lazy to pay attention to him.

What a reversal of the balance of power!

……

……

"Here, this is the script written by Seele."

Amidst the hazy mist and pale purple haze, Xi'er handed a small booklet to Yun Fuyu. This was a script she had prepared, titled "A Chance Encounter," but in reality, it was a "Reunion."

Yun Fuyu immediately expressed her doubt: "This is a dream, where did you get the paper?"

The focus is a bit off, but it's also very serious.

Seele raised an eyebrow slightly, the girl put her hands on her hips, and showed a smug look: "Of course, it was Seele who tested it out~ As long as you imagine what you want, and then use the Honkai energy in your body, you can get it in your dreams!"

Yun Fuyu: "...I've never tried it before."

Lately, whenever he was in his dreams, aside from exchanging information and chatting with Seele, he spent the rest of his time researching the power of dreams. Although he had some guesses, they weren't very reliable. He never expected Seele to suddenly give him a big surprise.

Yun Fuyu suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Speaking of which, if I studied biology more with Möbius, could I simulate a fusion surgery here?"

After all, there was a risk to his life. He said he wasn't afraid, but in reality, he was probably still a little scared.

Seele was astonished by his wild idea, but shook her head after a moment: "Impossible. Think about it, there are so many molecules in a mole (mol) (6 x 10^23). How could you possibly perform a simulated surgery?"

Yun Fuyu: "...Oh, right, then forget it. I'll take a look at the script first, and if there are no problems, we'll start the show tomorrow."

Seele nodded expectantly: "Mmm!"

……

……

"no problem?"

"can not tell."

Upon hearing Mebius's reply, Mebius frowned and paced restlessly around the office.

Not everyone can access information about Herrschers, so Sinamy's team hastily brought Seele into the Flame Chaser base. Upon first seeing Seele, Mei and Mebius subconsciously assumed she was the Herrscher of Death. However, on one hand, there was Alicia's unwavering assurance, and on the other hand, they couldn't detect anything unusual about Seele. Yun Fuyu's side hadn't revealed any flaws either, leaving Mei, as the decision-maker, in a very difficult position.

Should we expel or imprison someone simply because they "look a lot like a Herrscher"? But if we don't expel this "Seele Vollerai," what if she really is a Herrscher, lurking in the Flame Chaser's main base? What a huge threat that would be!

At this moment, it was Mebius who calmed down and said, "If this Seele is not a Herrscher, all our worries are in vain. If she is a Herrscher, we urgently need to find evidence that she is a Herrscher before making any further arrangements."

“Furthermore, I think there’s another way to look at it—if Seele were a Herrscher, would she hurt us?”

Mei looked at Möbius quietly and asked in return, "Would she harm humans?"

Möbius: "No."

Mei: "Why?"

Möbius: "Because she chose to infiltrate the moth that chases the flame, because the cloud that assists the rain is also a moth that chases the flame."

May: "That idea is too risky."

Mebius: "Yun Fuyu is about to participate in the gene fusion surgery with the Great Free Heaven."

Mei: "...You mean, Yun Fuyu and the Lawgiver of Death are still connected?"

Möbius: "I didn't say that. What I mean is, don't you think the Herrscher of Death has brought us a lot of surprises?"

Two Herrschers who bear the authority of two Herrschers, Yun Fuyu who has formed a bond with the Herrschers, Seele who is extremely similar to the Herrschers, and Yun Fuyu who is about to fuse with the genes of the Honkai Beast that is born with the Herrschers...

In the past, humanity often overcame the ordeals of the Herrschers like battling monsters, suffering heavy casualties at their hands. But this time is different. The Herrscher is ostensibly dead, but her influence continues. This is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity.

Mei hesitated slightly: "Then... let's wait and see?"

Möbius nodded in satisfaction: "Let's wait and see."

The green-haired doctor suddenly added, "However, for now, let Kevin stay with the Firemoth and not go out. Alicia is enough for field missions."

With Kevin left behind for security, the field missions will just have to be tough on Alicia.

Möbius was very satisfied! That way, that fat woman would never bother her again!

------

After discussions, May and Möbius chose to accept Seele's existence. However, this came with a slight consequence: Yun Fuyu longed to see Alicia, but Alicia became a pillar of strength for a long time afterward, rarely returning to the Firemoth base…
