Elysia Wants to Become Human!
"The orders from above are to capture the target alive if possible, and if that's not possible, then eliminate the target with all our might."
"Yes!"
Clang!
Elysia was startled by those words while inside the trash can.
After all, for her, who has been surrounded by the kindness of the townspeople and Bai Ge since birth, the word "annihilate with all efforts" is too cold and ruthless.
Elysia finally understood why Bai Ge said yesterday that she couldn't reveal the White Monster, but even so, she still couldn't help but react instinctively.
Aili's little head bumped into the metal inside the trash can, making a sound that clearly indicated a good head.
"Ouch!"
"Who goes there!"
"Get out of here!"
Bai Ge immediately picked up Elysia and ran outside.
"Holy crap, the trash can has come to life?!"
The two people talking inside the battalion were also startled when they saw the trash can that suddenly grew legs.
However, one of the blue-haired men immediately took action, catching up to the trash can and forcefully pressing it down.
As he lifted the cap, he drew his gun, intending to see what kind of monster it was, and prepared to empty the magazine at any moment.
However...
"Um, little, little child?"
The moment the man saw what was inside the trash can, his tension vanished instantly.
Inside the bucket were a handsome boy with white hair and golden eyes, and a cute girl with pink hair and blue eyes.
There are no demons or monsters in the trash can.
Instead, they were two angels who were instantly endearing.
The Bai Ge was frantically trying to comfort Elysia, who accidentally bumped into him so hard that tears were about to fall from her eyes. The man also quickly lowered the gun.
At the same time, Bai Ge was also taken aback.
(Huh? Isn't that my father-in-law?!)
Bai Ge stared at the man in front of her in utter surprise, thinking to herself, "Isn't this Griseo's father, Hen?"
Second update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips.

(Isn't this Griseo's father?!)
Bai Ge looked at the blue-haired man in front of her in surprise, not expecting to run into someone 'familiar' in this place.
At the same time, he was completely certain that this organization was the predecessor of the Moth Chasing Fire!
"Hey, what are you two little kids doing here?"
Hen also looked at Bai Ge and Aili -Xia in surprise.
In this heavily guarded military camp, two adorable little boys and girls have appeared, and they're even hiding in a trash can.
He thought he had just hallucinated the boy calling him father-in-law, but he figured he must have misheard.
He doesn't have a daughter yet, that adorable creature.
"Um, we were just a little curious."
"This is not a place for children. You must have heard our conversation just now, right? Hey~ I never thought that two kids would overhear our secrets."
Hen looked at the two of them with a helpless expression.
If it were anyone else, he would have treated them as spies long ago, but what could he say to these two children?
Moreover, to be honest, the military camp, which should have been heavily guarded, was actually infiltrated by two children. Shouldn't those good-for-nothings outside be trained twice as much?
"Fine, I'll let you off this time since you're all so cute. But you absolutely can't tell anyone what you just heard. Go back and get some sleep and forget all about it, okay?"
Hen put on a serious expression and warned.
Bai Ge nodded obediently, but before he could pull Aili away, the girl suddenly spoke.
"When you said you would eliminate them with all your might, did you mean to kill someone?"
"Aili?"
Bai Ge looked at Elysia in surprise, only to see that she had a worried and nervous expression on her face. Bai Ge immediately thought that she was worried that these people were planning to attack her.
"Little sister, you're too young to understand these complicated things. We just said we're dealing with monsters that pose a threat to humans. Uh, why am I telling a child this?"
Hen realized he had said too much. After a moment of silence, he sighed and scratched his head.
"In short, you two should leave now, and don't let it happen again."
"Um, okay..."
Goodbye, Uncle. I wish you a happy marriage and the birth of a beautiful daughter.
Bai Ge offered her blessings to Hen.
Father-in-law, hurry up and get me a page from Griseo who loves your daughter!
Although the armed group had approached him, Bai Ge wasn't too worried.
After all, at this stage before the Herrscher was born, the Previous Civilization did not know about humanoid Honkai creatures other than the Dead Soldier.
Even if one knew about the Herrscher, one wouldn't associate him with a child like him.
However, when Bai Ge turned his head, he saw that Elysia had a disappointed expression, and he immediately asked her with concern.
"Aili, are you alright?"
"Hmm, but was what that uncle just said true? Something about monsters that pose a threat to humans."
Elysia rarely showed a worried expression. She looked down at her small hands. Was she a monster?
"Aili ..."
Bai Ge couldn't help but pat the girl's head with pity.
"Humans always use names like monster and god to refer to beings with power beyond their imagination, but what is important is never power, but the mind."
"Soul?"
Elysia looked at Bai Ge with confusion.
She placed her small hand on her heart.
At the same time, she stared intently into the boy's eyes, hoping he could tell her the answer to her question.
Bai Ge gently hugged Elysia. At this point, this level of physical interaction was commonplace for them. Then he nodded and said to the girl.
"Yes, the heart is the most important thing. What kind of power one possesses is never the key. Only the radiant humanity is the proof of what makes us human."
"Bai Ge, I... don't quite understand."
"It's okay, Aili will understand when she grows up."
"Oh..."
Bai Ge raised his hand and rubbed Aili's face, who looked completely bewildered.
As far as he was concerned, even if he possessed great power and merged with a large number of Herrscher Core, he would still be powerless.
Bai Ge still firmly believes that he is a human being.
Everything he has achieved so far is built on the foundation of seeing himself as human. And his radiant humanity is proof that even after Bai Ge's strength and physical abilities have completely surpassed those of humans, he still remains a human being.
(Wait a minute, if that's the case, then why am I still human?)
A look of confusion suddenly appeared in Bai Ge's eyes.
He thought to himself that all the Herrscher of the Previous Civilization were enemies of humanity, puppets used by the Honkai to destroy civilization.
But why are the Herrscher of the Current Civilization able to possess humanity? And why are they able to repeatedly act as traitors to the Honkai?
Could it be that someone has changed the fate of the Current Civilization Herrscher?
Bai Ge couldn't recall the answer to this question.
(If so, then I must express my gratitude to that person; thank you for allowing me to become a human's Herrscher.)
Bai Ge thought to himself.
"Let's go, Aili. Worrying about those trivial things is just a waste of energy. What's important is the present moment. Have you decided where we're going to play today?"
"Bai Ge... you're right!"
Under Bai's encouragement, Elysia's radiant smile returned.
She skillfully grabbed Bai Ge's arm and rested her head on his shoulder as she spoke.
"But I had a lot of fun today. The infiltration with you just now was super exciting, but... it was also a bit too tense. I'm a little tired now~"
"Aili, just say what you want to say."
