The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Okay, take the snacks and go find Mei first... Wait, you bought so much?"

Mikael's mouth twitched uncontrollably twice, Kiana laughed innocently twice, put eight full shopping bags of the largest size on the ground, rummaged through them for a long time, and picked all the snacks into two shopping bags.

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do, it was Uncle Mikael who gave me so much money first!"

"... First, don't call me uncle, and second, I didn't ask you to spend all the money!"

"Hehe! Here! This is for you!"

Kiana handed a pile of change and receipts to Mikael, and Mikael counted the receipts. She really didn't leave a penny for herself.

Mikael felt a little dizzy, but also felt a little "unexpected". He knew that Kiana's life was not very good by herself. Although she was not in a tight spot, she was not much better, so he deliberately gave her more money as a reward for her taking care of Mei today. But I didn't expect that this kid didn't appreciate it at all... It shouldn't be a question of whether to appreciate it or not. This kid probably didn't realize this at all, and didn't even leave him some money for running errands.

"Ah..."

Mikael only had time to sigh, and saw Kiana swung her arms, picked up two bags full of snacks and ran back to Mei's bedroom. Only Mikael was left staring at the six large bags of semi-finished fried food:

"There are so many, there won't be enough in the refrigerator..."

There's no way, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame him for not making it clear. Besides, it's not difficult for him to deal with these things. If the refrigerator can't hold them, he has other space.

"Snap!"

After a light snap of his fingers, there was only a giant shopping bag left in front of Mikael, and the rest were all sent to the back of the moon, which is both a vacuum and can provide a freezing environment. Before the daylight comes to the back of the moon, it is simply the best refrigerator in the world.

Then, he picked up the bag of semi-finished products and staggered into the kitchen. He sorted some of the semi-finished products in the shopping bag into the refrigerator and left some outside for later use, until there was only a pile of instant noodles left in the bag.

Although Kiana was a little stupid, she was still obedient. She didn't miss the instant noodles that Mikael repeatedly told her to buy, but...

"What are these... dark chocolate pork bone noodles, milk Tom Yum soup noodles, honey spicy turkey noodles... They are all what she wants to eat but can't bear to buy!"

Mikael weighed the instant noodle bucket twice, a little speechless and a little curious at the same time - what does chocolate pork bone noodles taste like? Milk with Tom Yum soup should be delicious, right? Can the sweetness of honey neutralize the spiciness of turkey noodles?

Mikael smiled, melted the oil in the pan, and when the temperature reached, he threw the semi-finished fried food into the pan... Well, from the perspective of convenience, there is actually no need to do this step. Instead of buying semi-finished products and frying them yourself, it is better to let Kiana buy the finished products directly. But Mikael also has his own little thoughts-although the semi-finished products are a little troublesome, it gives him the opportunity to do it himself, and it looks more sincere.

Maybe this is just boring self-consolation, but Mikael just wants to give Mei some of the tenderness he took away from her in this way.

No, Mikael smiled self-deprecatingly, he is not so kind, he just wants to use this method to further bring himself and Mei closer. It is so utilitarian that there is no thought of caring.

"Sizzle--"

The smell of meat gradually spread in the kitchen, but Mikael did not appreciate it. Instead, he glanced at the instant noodles beside him without leaving a trace.

"Ah..."

Realizing that his thoughts were being led astray by Kiana, Mikael quickly shook his head. Curiosity is curiosity, but if you really want to taste it, there is no need.

If you are simply curious about the taste of something, he is more curious about the taste of a certain chocolate-colored metabolite, but this does not mean that he wants to taste it himself.

Besides, he can't taste it.

He forgot when it started, but it was at the end of the last era that he lost the ability to eat, because he was no longer human.

Mikael touched the broken hair on his forehead. He didn't need to eat or excrete. Except for the hair growing as usual, almost all metabolism was stagnant. But that was just the beginning. At this time, even the hair stopped growing, and even the last proof of being a human no longer existed.

But it doesn't matter. 50,000 years is enough for him to get used to most things, whether he likes it or not.

…………

"Kiana... There is something... I want to tell you."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Kiana reluctantly put down the potato chips in her hand and turned to look at Mei. The latter glanced at the news on the phone screen that "Raiden Ryoma has been criminally detained", turned off the screen decisively, and then squeezed out a bitter smile, raised his hand, and wiped the crumbs from the corner of Kiana's mouth with his thumb.

"I was thinking... the space of this villa is really too big. I didn't feel it when my father was here before, but now that I'm alone, I always feel a little scared... So, Kiana, during this time, can I ask you... um..."

"Oh, I know, this lady is kind-hearted and can't bear to see you suffer. I'll go to the rental house to pack up my things after school tomorrow. Well, I have some things to deal with, so I may not be able to come tomorrow night. I'll come the night after tomorrow!"

"Well, how about Mikael and I go to your place tomorrow to help clean up?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no..."

Kiana turned her face slightly. She told a small lie. How many things could she pack in her shabby rental house? Mainly, there are things about Kaslana's family. Although she doesn't like to deceive Mei, she'd better not reveal her family's identity first. It's okay to tell Mei Yi. The main thing is...

Although Mikael has always had a good attitude towards her and Mei since he appeared, Kiana always feels that she cannot completely trust this guy.

"Uh... do you want to talk to Uncle Mikael about this first?"

"Mikael...uncle?"

Mei Yi wanted to laugh, but the root of her nose and the sockets of her eyes hadn't gotten over the soreness yet, and she couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

"It's okay. Although he is indeed my nominal guardian now, he shouldn't care about this. And... I always feel..."

Mei pursed her lips tightly and did not say the second half of the sentence - she always felt that Mikael seemed to be deliberately maintaining the relationship between her and Kiana. The friendship between the two only started yesterday, so short. During this time, even if some unexpected things happened, this friendship ultimately lacked precipitation. If it is not maintained well, it does not rule out the possibility of ending in nothing.

But wasn't it Mikael who took Kiana away from the school and brought her all the way home? Although not much happened in the strict sense of the afternoon, Kiana simply stayed by her side and unknowingly occupied a place in her suddenly desolate heart.

Therefore, if Kiana wants to live here, Mikael will not refuse, right?

Mei Yi pursed her lips and felt her heart getting warmer and warmer.

"Crack-"

The door lock clicked slightly, and the smell of "happiness" mixed with sugar, fat, and protein instantly filled the entire bedroom.

"Gulu——"

Kiana silently put the potato chips behind her back and hid them. Mei pursed her lips, and the tip of her pink tongue emerged from between her lips, moistening her lips silently.

"Come on, let's eat first!"

In fact, these fried foods are nothing new. They are just a few things that we eat over and over again and get tired of eating. But the charm of calorie bombs lies in this. Even if they are boring to eat, they will go crazy when they are in a bad mood. Want to eat these things.

Another coffee table appeared out of thin air, exactly the same as the one Mei Yi knocked over before. It was even in the same position. Mikael put the dinner plate on the coffee table, slapped Kiana's outstretched hand away, and glared at her for no reason. He glanced at it and took out two buckets of instant noodles from behind his back.

Kiana felt a little aggrieved, but when she saw the flavor of the instant noodles, she smiled sheepishly - she bought a total of ten buckets of instant noodles, and only these two buckets were of normal tonkotsu flavor.

Mikael tore open the package, and with a snap of his fingers, the hot water rose from the bottom of the cup to the mark inside the bucket. Amid Kiana's repeated exclamations, Mikael casually took two books from Mei's bookshelf and covered them with On the barrel surface.

After a while, the taste of instant noodles also came out. In fact, it tasted very different from the ramen at noon. But maybe because of being hungry all afternoon, Meiyi's stomach actually started to groan, and saliva began to grow rapidly in her mouth.

"Okay, if you're hungry, let's eat something else first."

Mikael smiled softly.

Mei Yi swallowed and was about to raise her hand, but then took it back.

"What's wrong?"

Meiyi twisted the hem of her clothes and explained softly:

"Mikael, I just discussed it with Kiana. She will go back to pack her things tomorrow. From the day after tomorrow, she will also move here... okay?"

She was previously certain that Mikael would support this matter, but when it came time to speak, she still felt a little guilty.

In fact, she doesn't have to be like this. This villa and the two million dollars that Thunder and Lightning Dragon Horse have deposited are theoretically her property, and she can let whoever she wants to live in it. She just hasn't recovered from this morning's incident. She habitually pleases everyone around her, but in fact she is just afraid that they will leave her.

Mikael knew this very well. He deliberately did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a moment, returning the world to silence.

Mei Yi's heart suddenly rose. She thought Mikael was about to refuse. She first held down Kiana who was about to speak, and then raised her head, but unexpectedly Mikael was looking out the window with a hint of surprise.

"rustle--"

It seemed to be the rustling of leaves outside the window.

"What...what happened?"

"fine."

Mikael came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head.

"Why do you have to clean it up yourself? Mei and I will help you after school tomorrow. You can stay here tomorrow night."

"don't want!"

Kiana jumped up from the bed. She had already thought of countless reasons, but after meeting Mikael's dull gaze, she could not remember any of them.

"Oh! I just don't want it! I can do these things myself!"

Kiana stamped her foot angrily.

Mikael narrowed his eyes and smiled back.

"Okay, if you don't want to, then it's better to follow your own ideas. But you should stay here tonight."

Mikael turned around and took two steps towards the door, then stopped and looked at the bedroom, and murmured in a voice that Mei and Kiana could hear:

"Clothes should be provided, and the bathroom and bathtub are also included in the room, which is good."

He put his right hand on the door handle and spoke in a commanding tone for the first time:

"Remember, no matter what happens tonight, don't walk out of this door."

"ah?"

Instead of panicking, Kiana became eager to try again, and Mei quickly held her down.

"An enemy is coming..."

"boom!"

The door was slammed shut with unprecedented force, and the whole villa shook.

"..."

Mikael gently held the door handle, then squeezed it tightly, feeling the unique coldness of the metal.

"call……"

He took a deep breath, then slowly turned his head, leaning on the railing on the second floor to look at the sofa in the living room on the first floor.

There was an emerald green figure there, petite, but gradually occupying Mikael's entire sight. In the gradually blurring world, emerald green became the only color for a while.

"Don't you want to say hello?"

She asked in an uncharacteristically soft voice.

"Mebius, okay..."

Having said this, Mikael suppressed the words after "Okay".

"What? You can't even finish what you said?"

The words seemed to be questioning, but her tone was calm, with no ups and downs, and no emotional fluctuations that should be expected in questioning.

"I just don't want to say such stupid things as long time no see."

Mikael closed his eyes gently. There was clearly a staircase, but he appeared in the middle of the living room in a flash.

"Ah--"

His body slowly sank into the soft sofa, and Mikael let out a long sigh of relief, which sounded like a low moan.

Mebius stared at his closed eyes, her green snake eyes also blinked slightly, a scarlet light flashed through her sleeves, and it was already lying across Mikael's face when they saw each other again. Between your neck.

Mikael opened his eyes and stared intently at the bright chandelier. For an ordinary person, staring at it for so long would make his eyesight even if he wasn't blind, but Mikael couldn't even notice anything strange.

He raised his hand and clamped the red feather, blocking the light of the chandelier.

The light and shadow dimmed slightly, and Mikael said feebly:

"Mebius, you can't kill me like this."

He doesn't even have a heart, so what if he cuts his throat? Even if the whole head is removed, it will only add some pain that he has not enjoyed for a long time.

"I know."

After Mebius said this, she stood up. Naturally, she didn't want to leave, but sat next to Mikael.

Mikael tilted his head to the other side, but didn't say anything.

After not seeing each other for five hundred years, have they become a little unfamiliar even between him and her? No, of course not, Mikael knew very well that this was something that only happened between him and Alicia——

There are so many things I want to say at once, they are all stuck in my throat, and I don’t know which one to choose.

However, isn’t there a good introduction here?

Mikael shook the feathers in his hand and asked seriously:

"How is she?"

Although the name was not given directly, it is not difficult to guess who "she" is talking about.

"I told that Cocolia that she had two broken ribs and a left arm, but in fact she was just knocked unconscious. Don't worry, since I'm yours, I won't do anything harsh."

"Haha, isn't she a subordinate of Cocolia? Why did she become mine again?"

Mikael asked knowingly.

"Oh? Then tell me, why does that little girl use the standard fighting skills of Fire Chaser Moth with her hands? Who else can teach her this kind of thing besides us? If I remember correctly, Gray Snake originally Report to me that the Honkai adaptive individuals collected in Siberia are missing a girl named Natasha on their way back, is she?"

Mikael's fingers lightly clicked on the sofa twice. He no longer denied it, and there was no need to deny it, because that was the truth - he had snatched Natasha from the Gray Snake, and after training for a few years, he had Spies sent.

"Tsk. If you were 50,000 years ago, you wouldn't have used the power of consciousness on such an 'ordinary person'."

Mebius stretched out his index finger, hesitated, and tapped Mikael's arm.

"You are thinking too much. I did not use the power of consciousness. I just made a deal with her. I found her brother who was separated when he was taken away by the Gray Snake and asked her to spend the last month with him. Then She vowed to be loyal to me for the rest of her life, it was that simple."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. So, Mikael, you are getting more and more twisted."

"Well?"

"Mikael, what's the difference between taking advantage of a favor and directly using the power of consciousness to modify cognition? It's just hypocrisy. It's just that the former will make you feel that you are not so evil."
