Chapter 39 Passing by
……
As Alicia said, she was told to participate in the mission at the last minute, and she came to see Seele before leaving. After all, just by absorbing the beauty's energy, Alicia's health bar could double!
Seeing Seele's smiling face, Alicia was also satisfied. She vowed to tease her properly next time, but this mission was urgent, so she waved goodbye and left.
~
The mission location is an underground laboratory destroyed by an explosion. Alicia is responsible for entering the laboratory to investigate the equipment leaking Honkai energy.
It's important to know that Miss Pink Fairy is almost omnipotent! She can fight, coordinate, infiltrate, and investigate, but because of her "cynical" nature, she is "not valued" and has not become a high-ranking member of the Firemoth.
But then again, it's really hard to imagine what Alicia would look like sitting at her desk working diligently... Hmm, it is indeed a bit strange.
The pink-clad agent lived up to her name; before the shield formed from the pink crystal flower in her hand, all the dangers in the laboratory were insignificant. The crumbling, collapsing structures, the high concentration of Honkai energy in the area, the occasional sneak attack from Honkai beasts… all were dealt with effortlessly. Even when she frequently encountered the corpses of laboratory personnel, she never faltered, heading straight for the dangerous equipment.
It was a Honkai energy core reactor, a failed attempt to imitate the Herrscher core, but it had the ability to release Honkai energy in a controlled and quantitative manner, so it was widely used in many laboratories.
Unfortunately, the reactor in this underground laboratory malfunctioned and leaked a large amount of Honkai energy, causing an imaginary channel to briefly appear. Honkai Beasts invaded, and one of them, which had the ability to self-destruct, blew the place into ruins. However, the reactor continued to react and leak energy.
This happened in the early hours of the morning, and it was no small matter, especially since it was not far from the capital of Mu Continent, so it naturally required urgent action. Therefore, on one hand, regular combat teams were dispatched to eliminate the Honkai Beasts, and on the other hand, Alicia was urgently mobilized to deal with the most difficult core reactor.
"You're the culprit, aren't you?"
Alicia placed her finger over the crack in the reactor that was leaking, and within moments, purple lines began to form on her finger. She recoiled as if burned, blew on her finger, and the purple lines quickly faded.
———Honkai energy resistance is very high.
The pink-haired girl arrived as if she were an unstoppable war goddess, but at this moment she sighed slightly, revealing a weariness that no one could see.
"Inanimate objects have hurt so many people. What's wrong with this world...?"
She was downcast for a moment, then patted her face to cheer herself up, put on a smile again, skillfully dismantled the reactor's outer shell, housed the core in the prepared container, created a protective layer with her own power, and then proudly raised her head:
"As expected of me! I finished the mission so quickly!"
Frankly speaking, within the entire Moth of Flames, there are no more than ten people who possess both the ability to approach the reactor without being corroded and the experience to dismantle the reactor and remove its core. Alicia's pride is not without basis.
~
Mission over.
It was only noon.
Alicia paid no attention to anyone else; her mind was now filled with the dangerous death of (crossed out) the adorable little Seele. She hurriedly put the core reactor into the Honkai energy isolation box given to her by Mebius, handed it to the leader of the combat unit, and then got into a pink car and sped away alone.
------
When Yun Fuyu returned to the unit, he immediately noticed the large black box on the troop carrier, which was marked with a pattern of a ringed serpent... No doubt, it must be a product of Mebius.
After making a few casual inquiries, I learned that a powerful female warrior had retrieved the Honkai energy core reactor from an underground laboratory. She had already left, leaving the reactor behind.
There was a lot of complaining in his words, because the troop carrier was only so big, and now they had to put in an extra huge box. But Yun Fuyu didn't pay much attention to it.
Much like Seele, his mind was preoccupied with planning the next "chance encounter," and he showed little interest in other people or things. Otherwise, when he heard the term "female warrior," he would at least have inquired about the name, just in case it was someone he knew. But he forgot to do so.
In short, Yun Fuyu boarded the troop transport vehicle, and his first stop was Mei's research institute before he could return to the Moth Chaser base.
As for the battle that just took place... it's worth mentioning that the guy who was traveling with Yun Fuyu was quite lucky. He almost had his arm severed by a Honkai Beast, but Yun Fuyu instantly unleashed his power and saved him. Otherwise, he would have had to retire, get a house, and live off his pension for the rest of his life...
Hmm, something's not right.
……
……
On Seele's side.
The cafeteria at Moth Chaser is truly a treasure trove! There are a total of 26 dining stalls on the first floor, half of which are for main dishes and ten for snacks. In addition, there are self-service drinks such as milk tea and coffee. They are simply providing the best service without regard to cost!
While reading, Xi'er took a delicious sip of milk tea (Note: someone reading while holding a book must be a newbie). She remembered that Yun Fuyu had mentioned that there was a library here, and she would definitely make time to visit it after training ended in the afternoon.
Her previous life was far from good; by comparison, the treatment at the Flame-Chasing Moth was paradise. But in return, here one must fight with their life at the cost; nothing comes for free.
"Hi?~ My dear Seele-chan, long time no see! Did you miss me?~"
Seele was startled and looked up to see a pink figure. The woman was leaning forward with her arms on the table, and her heavy breasts almost blocked Seele's view. It could only be Alicia—a figure of that size was more recognizable than anything else!
Seele shrank back involuntarily and complained, "Sister Alicia, the last time we met was when..."
Alicia smiled brightly: "It was back then! While we were on the mission, I was thinking about you the whole time!"
Xi'er: "..."
Seele didn't know what to say. She silently lowered her head, sipped her milk tea, then sipped again, then sipped again...
Alicia recounted her mission's progress, enthusiastically praising her abilities, seemingly trying to gain Seele's admiring gaze. Although Seele wanted to chat with her, she felt awkward; remaining silent and composed seemed to be the only appropriate response…
Suddenly, Seele had a flash of inspiration.
According to Yun Fuyu, he should know Alicia, right?
(Yun once lied, saying that Alicia invited him to join the Fire Moth. Based on his understanding of Alicia, the Pink Fairy was a pure entertainer and would most likely not expose him on the spot; she might even offer him a chance to talk to her.)
However, on the surface, Seele shouldn't know Yun Fuyu. How can she subtly inquire about the information...?
Seele asked directly, "Why are you so interested in me?"
