Collapse, it's coming, love Lama

After these days of phone conversations, the eldest lady also discovered that Mo Yi still did not get the stability and happiness that Kan wanted in this world. He still had various "musts" to do, and even had to risk his life to do things. How was this different from when he was eroded by the Honkai energy?

He stubbornly brought her back into the world, and then left without caring about anything, leaving her alone to face the lonely world.

Mo Yi, you are so willful~

The young lady had a lot of blame like this in her heart, but at this moment, it seemed no longer important... At least at this moment, she didn't want to talk about it.

Seeing that Mo Yi just responded to her, he looked at her, or rather, looked at the dishes she was washing skillfully in her hands.

"Indeed~"

I have a thousand words in my heart, but when the time comes I don’t know how to start. But with just a few words, I can start a casual chat with old friends I see every day.

"I used to wash the dishes, but it's not good to ask Miss Sakuya to buy new dishes every day."

Mo Yi's real close contact with the eldest lady started with a bowl of chicken soup, and then the two became "dining friends" and made midnight snacks together every night.

Although the eldest lady has many maids at home, after having a midnight snack, she can just put the things aside and someone will come to clean up tomorrow.

But neither of them has that kind of personality. They clean up the trouble they created themselves, and after eating supper, they naturally wash the dishes as well.

The eldest lady had no objection to this, and after she broke the dishes again and again, Mo Yi chose to take on this "annoying" job himself.

If it were someone else, Mo Yi might suspect that he was being tricked and that the other party was deliberately acting clumsy so that he would take on the most annoying household chore of all: washing dishes.

After eating, the blood in the human body will gather in the stomach to promote digestion, so people are always "lazy" after a meal. However, at this time, people are asked to wash the dishes and let cold water fall on their hands, which is anti-human.

"People change, don't they?"

After hearing Mo Yi's words, the young lady looked at the bowl in her hand which was becoming cleaner in the water, and said softly:

"Now that you're gone, I have to learn to wash the dishes and cook for myself... I have to get used to living without you."

With the reflexes and intelligence of a young lady, she naturally would learn things like washing dishes and cooking. It was just that she always had too many ideas at that time, thinking about innovation and speeding up efficiency. She thought about chemical reactions when cooking, and tried to use the power of thunder to decompose substances when washing dishes, and to eliminate stains and bacteria on the dishes 100%. The results were naturally full of surprises.

She enjoyed it very much. At that time, every day, everything she saw, even washing dishes, was new and interesting.

But people always grow up, and gradually they stop thinking about why, and learn to follow the map as a matter of course like other people, no longer asking why, and becoming a little bit indifferent.

Mo Yi: "..."

Oh no, this inexplicable feeling of guilt.

Mo Yi opened his mouth and wanted to ask, "What about Miss Sakuya, Dr. Chen, his father-in-law, and the other people in the Lei Dian family?"

Everything has changed, everything has returned to the past. The eldest lady is no longer in poverty, but is still the rich lady who can go to school in a Maybach.

But is it really possible to go back to the past?

If the eldest lady says that she already has someone around her who can replace 'Mo Yi', then it will be his turn to be Emo again.

"What does your look mean?"

The eldest lady put down another washed bowl, and with her elbow, which was not wet by the cold water, she carefully pushed up her bangs that had fallen on her forehead and blocked her vision because she had bent down to wash the dishes.

"If you have time to watch, you might as well come and help."

Mo Yi thought that the other party would start to list his "sins", but he didn't expect that after hearing this, he no longer had time to be Emo. He walked up and reached out to help the young lady push her bangs behind her ears. Feeling that it didn't work well, he pushed it back and did it again.

Miss: "..."

I'm not saying this—

I mean, come over here and help me clean up these dishes, and then we can go out for a walk together.

But, never mind. Seeing Mo Yi being so careful, as if he were treating some fragile treasure, it seemed like a good idea. However, I still had to help clean up the bowl.

With Mo Yi's help, the dishes were quickly cleaned up, and then the two of them said a few words to others and prepared to walk around St. Freya Academy.

"Oh~ It seems very interesting."

Dongfeng Valley Snake didn't expect Mo Yi and the Herrer of Thunder to be so close, so she was naturally very curious. Since she had nothing to do, she thought of following them to take a look.

"No?~"

Ai Lama, who witnessed Mo Yi and the eldest lady's journey with his own eyes, directly blocked Snake, as well as the Paradise Fairy, Kiana and other equally curious guys.

"If you interrupt a beautiful girl's date, you'll be knocked away by an Emperor-level Honkai Beast."

In this regard, Mo Yi only wants to say——

Thank you, Alicia.

The eldest lady held Mo Yi's hand and walked forward. She had no specific destination and it didn't matter. What mattered was whose hand she was holding as she walked forward.

Compared to the previous young lady who had a slightly "tsundere" attribute, the current young lady of Thunder and Lightning seems gentle, losing some of her sharpness, but is much more proactive.

When they were in Qianyu Academy, the eldest lady had never walked around the campus holding hands with Mo Yi. After school or after Mo Yi's high jump training, they would take a Maybach home together and wander around the school like ordinary campus couples. This was too stupid and a waste of time. It would be better for them to go home early and practice swordsmanship and knee pillows together.

In front of the eldest lady, Mo Yi said whatever he thought, without deliberately trying to please her. After all, the two of them had saved each other's lives and no other proof was needed.

"Miss, you would never do such a thing before."

Mo Yi lifted up the person being led by the other party and said something with a smile.

“So I regret it~”

The six months she spent studying at Qianyu Academy with Mo Yi were the happiest time for the eldest lady. After learning that Mo Yi was suffering from the "Honkai Disease", the future became a quantifiable countdown calendar. Naturally, she no longer had the mood to do things that seemed stupid and a waste of time before.

“Not everything needs meaning. Sometimes happiness is the greatest meaning.”

The eldest lady explained seriously... Mo Yi felt that this was right, this was what an eldest lady should be like. She would always say all sorts of silly yet reasonable sentences in daily conversations, which only existed in writing and were not used in daily life.

"Then let's go skipping stones?"

At this time, the two of them walked to an artificial lake in St. Freya Academy. Mo Yi looked at the very round pebbles under his feet, and the DNA in his heart couldn't help but move.

"I've never played before...you teach me."

Be happy with your lover, don’t ask whether it is fate or disaster.

So, the two of them, like children, started to destroy the artificial lake that Theresa had spent a lot of money to build. When they found that they could not find a suitable stone, the eldest lady used the power of thunder law to dig out a perfect "stone" from the ground.

This seemingly stupid and boring thing, the joy in it can probably only be understood by those who are in it.

As the two of them played and made noises, time passed by, and the blue sky was already burned into a dim red by the setting sun.

Finally, Mo Yi and the eldest lady found an unfamiliar big tree by the lake and sat down. They leaned against each other and watched the sunset slowly setting to the other side of the earth, casually talking about some trivial things in their past.

"Mo Yi, do you still remember——"

Looking at the setting sun, the young lady thought that today's date was about to end.

"What were the last words you said to me when we first met?"

The eldest lady asked Mo Yi questions with a smile.

After becoming a Herrscher and a Fusion Warrior, Mo Yi not only felt much better, but his memory was also much better than before. It was no exaggeration to say that he could remember everything he saw. However, when asked by the eldest lady, he really thought about it carefully and searched through his memories before he remembered.

"Raiden Mei, you are a... gentle person."

At that time, Mo Yi was still a socially anxious person who had just traveled to another world. Fortunately, the first person he met was also a socially anxious lady.

In fact, it turned out that Mo Yi's evaluation was not wrong——

The eldest lady is indeed a very gentle person, at least to Mo Yi. She would rather give up her own life and be willing to be replaced, just to let Mo Yi live, and live happily.

Such tenderness is very heavy.

Of course Mo Yi didn't hate it. Who would hate others treating them like this?

Hearing Mo Yi imitate the tone and say these words, the eldest lady did not feel "embarrassed". After all, she was different from Teacher Yayi. If other people asked Teacher Yayi to say words like "Kuangfeng surrender to me", they would be so embarrassed that they would pick their toes.

"I remember your answer was—"

The eldest lady continued speaking after Mo Yi's words, and even her expression and tone were exactly the same as the 'eldest lady' in Mo Yi's memory.

“Gentleness is room for the strong, and pity is nothing but self-deception.”

After saying that, the eldest lady's head on Mo Yi's shoulder moved slightly, and her long hair stroked Mo Yi's face, making him feel a little itchy.

"Even now, I don't think I said anything wrong."

This is indeed the young lady's true thoughts, not some childish words she said just because she thought it looked cool.

"Do you think I'm weird?"

Although the eldest daughter was a bit of a middle school student, she also knew how ordinary people would view her "words" and had never thought of changing because of it. However, if it was Mo Yi's opinion, she would still care a little bit.

"No~"

Mo Yi recalled that scene again in his mind and said with a smile on his face:

"My feeling at the time was, this woman is... so cool."

Yes, being able to say the cool lines from various anime and novels as if it were natural, and to believe and implement them from the heart, such a guy is really cool, and makes people feel excited and yearning.

"You're fine like this."

If the eldest lady stops being a middle school student, then where can Mo Yishou replenish his middle school energy?

That is the characteristic of a young lady, it cannot disappear just like that!

Mo Yi felt heartbroken when thinking about the future of Teacher Mei. Without the middle school flavor of the Thunder Queen, Thunder Mei really became a purple-haired female passerby, whose only role was to cook and get humiliated. Even 8 years after the end of the Collapse, Teacher Mei was still humiliated and was caught and bloodied by the celestial being 'World' who had been casually chopped to pieces by a knife that year.

"That's good..."

The eldest lady had also thought about this problem, wondering whether she needed to learn how ordinary people speak. Although she didn't care about other people's opinions, if she married Mo Yi in the future, she would not be just herself. The eldest lady didn't want Mo Yi to be ridiculed by others because of herself.

"Actually, I thought about—"

The eldest lady told Mo Yi about the "future" she had imagined. When she was in school with Mo Yi, before Mo Yi's Honkai disease broke out and Cocolia's conspiracy was revealed, the eldest lady once sat in the Maybach, looking at Mo Yi dozing off beside her, and thought about many, many things, including her yearning and plans for the future.

Unlike what Mo Yi had imagined, the future that this middle school and independent young lady desired was unexpectedly ordinary and common—

The two finished high school together, then went to college, and got married after graduation. Mo Yi took over his father Lei Dian Long Ma's job, while she took care of the housework and raised the children at home...

This... is very consistent with Mo Yi's impression of the married life of a woman from the Far East, but she doesn't act like a spoiled brat at all.

But the eldest lady at that time was looking forward to it, but she kept it in her heart and never said it out loud.

"But, we can never go back to the way it was before."

The eldest lady sat up straight from Mo Yi's arms, her purple eyes fixed on Mo Yi, and after sighing, she smiled slightly.

"But it's okay now... I have a lot to say, and I feel a bit aggrieved. I want to question Anna Shaniat about this..."

“But now, I don’t know if there is a problem here.”

The young lady placed her hand on her heart and continued:

"It seems to have been filled up, no longer needing those irrelevant things... Yes, it tells me -"

"It's great that you're alive."

"It's great to see you again."

Having said that, the eldest lady stretched out her right hand, which was placed on her chest, in front of Mo Yi, and slowly opened it as an invitation.

"So, this time, please come with me to the future you describe."

……

Oceania, New Zealand.

"What's the condition of the test subject?"

On the test bench, the anesthetized Wendy was being examined by the researcher as usual, but this time, she could faintly hear—

"As a container for the Gem of Desire, it's quite acceptable."

"According to the Bishop's order, headquarters must recover the Desire Gem."

"But our research is almost reaching a breakthrough. If we take back the gemstones now, wouldn't that mean our research would be wasted..."

"This is the bishop's order, not your opinion!"

"Damn it, damn it! It's all Wendy's fault... I was just a little bit away, just a little bit away from success and becoming the chief researcher of Tianming..."

"No, I haven't failed yet... The 'Holy Blood Healing Potion' distributed by headquarters... Yes, with it, I'm sure I can truly activate the power of the Desire Gem in Wendy's leg this time."

"Based on my authority, those are important supplies for the branch... This is all headquarters' fault. Why don't you give me a little more time and resources?"

"Then let's give it a try. If we fail, we'll take the Serenity Gem and go to Anti-Entropy... I hope that Cocolia, who claims to be the Anti-Entropy Executor, can fulfill her promise."

"Besides, it doesn't guarantee failure. With my talent, it was just bad luck before. This time, there will be no problem... It will definitely be fine."

Wendy was under anesthesia, and the researcher's muttering kept ringing in her ears. She wanted to say something, but she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes. She could only stand still and endure the slight pain as the researcher injected some cold liquid into her veins.
