The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"team leader!"

Even though the other party no longer has a superior-subordinate relationship with him, he still calls him this habitually.

As for Himihu, the moment she heard this title, she seemed to be reminiscing, but also a little confused, and the complexity in her expression could no longer be concealed.

But before Mikael's eyes turned back, she skillfully forced herself to smile:

"Team Mikael, would you mind walking with me? By the way, I would like to ask you to bring this to Velvet. I think that in her hands, Shirter may be able to recover faster."

She raised the broken sword in her hand.

【etc! Why did she bring this thing into the conference room! 】

"team leader……"

Mikael half-stretched his hand and looked at the broken blade, whether to pick it up or not.

Seeing his appearance, Beimihu chuckled twice, put Shirter on his shoulders, and walked away without thinking about himself.

Mikael naturally winked at Mebius, and then followed him alone.

The tall figure stood upright in the dark tunnel, with fiery red hair flying with the steps under his feet, like beating flames.

"I have submitted my resignation to May."

The long tunnel made Himihu's voice a little dull, and she did not use a high-spirited tone. Mikael quickly caught up with her. He didn't know whether he didn't hear her words clearly, or he heard her clearly but didn't want to believe it. He asked She repeated it again.

"Well... I said, I have already submitted my resignation to Mei. From now on, I should not be in the fifth team... ah, and then it will be the brigade. In short, I will not take up combat duties again."

"Why... why!"

Mikael grabbed his hair. When this moment came, he was somewhat relieved, but also felt a sense of unknown anger.

He couldn't help but squint his eyes and look away because the flames in front of him were a bit dazzling. He even took a step back silently because the temperature in the air began to become hot.

Himiko should be the first person in the Fire Chaser to discover the truth behind the so-called "riot". When she walked into Mei's laboratory on the eve of the riot and saw Kevin who was only slightly injured, many things It’s all self-explanatory.

Although she didn't know the complete plan, she at least knew who should bear the debt of those dead Poison Chrysalis soldiers and the first team soldiers.

Therefore...Mikael can understand her current attitude and has been prepared for it.

If you don’t want others to know, then do nothing but yourself...

Mikael laughed twice at himself and lowered his head guiltily.

Suddenly, there was a warmth and a weight on my head. Mikael opened his mouth slightly, but was silent for a long time.

Himihu gently rubbed Mikael's head, then moved his hand away and landed on his shoulder. She pressed Mikael's shoulders with both hands, applying slight pressure, as if to make him feel the weight.

"Don't think too much."

Mikael raised his head and saw only a gentle smile.

As a result, the firelight was no longer dazzling, and the temperature was no longer scorching.

"Silly boy, in the face of the [darkness] I have seen, your and Mei's plan still seems crude and immature. Whether you are willing to admit it or not - You and Mei are not conspiracy material. What you have achieved The victory is just based on the crushing of ability, so don't think that if you do such a thing, you will suddenly become a conspirator, and you will not be able to hold your head up in front of others. Your level is still far behind. Far away!”

She was making a good-natured joke. Although it was sarcastic, how could there be any malice in her tone? On the contrary, it picked up all Mikael's thoughts, which was embarrassing.

A strange sense of shame surged into my heart, just like the feeling a boy who thought he was an adult suddenly felt naked in front of an elder of the opposite sex.

The former is naturally trying to cover it up in a hurry, while the latter will often say half-jokingly and half-seriously: Tsk! That's it? I've seen a lot, what's there to hide?

"Don't think that the people around you will look down on you because of this, no - Mikael, you always want others to believe in you, but you also have to try to trust others. Believe in the people you choose, they They can understand what you are thinking deep in your heart. Therefore, as long as your behavior does not deviate from your original intention, they will not deviate from you. Of course, please tell Mei this. Compared to you, Mei has to do more. To be frank - she doesn't have to work so crazy to make up for the guilt in her heart, it will only affect her health, and the same goes for you."

She raised her hand and rubbed Mikael's head again. Although she was already half a head shorter than Mikael, and the movement of raising her hand was a bit tiring, she seemed to enjoy it.

"Then...resignation..."

"Well...of course it's because of physical problems."

"Body!"

Mikael was shocked. A small amount of the power of the Sixth Herrscher from the World Bubble was immediately thrown into Himihu's body, but it was a drop in the bucket. Before he could find out what went wrong, it was all exhausted.

"What? Are you worried about me?"

Himihu smiled and started walking again.

"Don't worry, my so-called physical reasons are mostly due to my age. No matter how you calculate it, I am already over thirty. I have too many hidden wounds left in my early years, and my physical strength has begun to decline. Moreover, according to Mei Calculating, my body can't support the fusion warrior surgery at all... Besides, I'm already in my early thirties, so it's time to consider a personal issue, right? That guy is younger than me. Now I just need to see Gray. If you practice it, you will be envious."

"That's true..."

Himiko's words were mixed with chuckles, making it difficult for Mikael to tell whether the following paragraph of her words came from her true heart or she was just joking?

He couldn't help but think in his mind. Logically speaking, Himihu was still serving in the army until the seventh collapse nearly three years later. But was her hurried withdrawal now really just due to physical reasons?

There is really no reason at all. Is it related to the previous incident?

Himihu's eyes flickered, and just by looking at his appearance, one could tell that he was thinking wildly again.

"alright!"

She knocked Mikael's head angrily, "What are you thinking about all day long? Taking a step back, I am just leaving the combat post, not leaving the Fire Chasing Moth. According to the regulations, an officer in the combat team After being discharged from the army, he will automatically become an instructor and continue to serve. That fool, Mei, was deceived into a combat position again. There is no other way, so I can only take over his position as chief instructor!"

"I see……"

After Mikael breathed a long sigh of relief, he wanted to ask something more, but Himihu waved his hand and put the broken sword into Mikael's hand.

"It has been agreed a long time ago that after Shirter is given to Velvet for repair, there is no need to give it to me anymore. Please help me pass it on to Kevin."

Himihu blinked.

"Mikael, our era is over. From now on, it's up to you to face the Honkai Impact and face humanity itself."

Mikael held the stump of Shirter's handle and stood alone in the empty tunnel for a long time.

He chewed Himihu's last words carefully, and finally understood in his heart - I'm afraid that was the real reason for her resignation.

The era belonging to Famas has long ended, but Vasak and Lezren are still the last remaining members of that era.

This morning's meeting can be used as a symbol, and the ending was completely cut off by Mei.

Between the new era and the old era, Himihu chose to leave with the past. It was not only a kind of remembrance of himself, but also a trust in those who created the future——

The fiery red figure has reached the end of the sight, like a very distant fire, still beating endlessly.

Even if she distances herself, even if she hides herself in the snow, she still opens the way and points the direction for those who come after her.

In an instant, that back figure, that fire, and many memories overlapped.

She is the girl who personally bid farewell to the "person" who stole the fire, she is the singer who played her last song in the wasteland and desert, she is——

"Next, we'll leave it to you to face Honkai and humanity itself."

"Next, it's your story."

So the two endings gradually overlapped.

At the same time, a new chapter begins.
