Seele: Keep That Pink Elf Away from Me! (Continued)

Bai Ge thought to himself that he couldn't escape the "it's actually good" phenomenon after all.

Seele wolfed down his lunch like a glutton, then skillfully wiped her mouth with a tissue. The two of them then sat on the bed, picked up their controllers, and started playing games online.

I will definitely beat you today!

"Heh~ I'll admit defeat if I lose even a single drop of blood."

Bai Ge glanced at her record of over a hundred consecutive wins and showed no intention of holding back. Although Seele was repeatedly crushed by her to the point of despair, she would still relentlessly challenge her the next day... only to be crushed again.

According to the investigation by the Moth Chasing Fire, Seele was also a child with a pitiful background before becoming Herrscher.

After her parents died and relatives fought over her property, Seele was sent to an orphanage. However, the owner of the orphanage was not a good person and was secretly selling children.

Now that she's dead, she was the first person Seele killed after Herrscherization.

Putting himself in her shoes, Bai Ge felt it was normal for her to become Herrscher and destroy the world, since Seele had never experienced the beauty of this world, only its malice.

And now he has become Bai Ge's prisoner.

But Bai Ge did not do anything to harm her other than removing her core. Instead, he brought Seele a bunch of things she had never had before: beautiful clothes, delicious food, fun games, good movies, and so on.

"Seele, I understand your resentment towards the world, but this world isn't all bad. If you destroy it, you'll never be able to drink soda, play games, or see the ending of novels again."

Bai Ge advised her, saying that he brought these pleasant and wonderful things to the girl, hoping that the world of anime and junk food could save the girl's heart from despair.

"... Hmph! I, I don't care about these things."

Seele gritted her teeth and stubbornly insisted, but it was clear that a wavering emotion appeared in her eyes.

This wavering caused her to make a mistake, and her character in the game was taken down by Bai Ge's smooth combo.

"Aaaaaah, Bai Ge, you ambushed me! That's so despicable! I'm not playing anymore! It's not fun at all!"

"Don't make excuses, if you're bad, just practice more."

"Snort!"

Seele's mouth puffed out, and Bai Ge patted her head before handing her several small bags.

"Here, these are clothes that Aili asked me to give you. She also said she'll come to the Deepest Depths to visit you next time."

"Don't let that woman near me!"

Upon hearing Elysia's name, Seele shuddered, her face filled with disgust and loathing.

She instinctively crossed her arms and trembled, recalling the fear of being dominated by the Pink Fairy not long ago.

Being treated like a dress-up doll and played with at will, forced to watch pink pornographic films, and forced to be fed and chatted with... Seele gritted her teeth as she looked at the bag of clothes that Bai Ge handed her.

She doesn't like wearing pink clothes at all!

But after Elysia came last time, she stole all of her other clothes, leaving only a few pink dresses, forcing Seele to choose between the pink dresses and being naked.

If Bai Ge hadn't come to see him every day, it would have been for this.

Seele felt there was a high probability she would choose to remain naked.

"Uh, I thought you two had a good relationship."

Bai Ge scratched his head. He realized that Elysia was much more interested in Seele than in ordinary people, even more interested in persecuting Mobius.

"Who's on good terms with her? That wretched pink-haired bastard! And I hate all the other humans too!"

Seele vented his frustration by taking out his HOMU in his arms as he spoke.

Bai Ge sighed helplessly at her appearance.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he and Seele are getting along quite well now, to the point where they can pat each other's heads, feed each other, and play games together. This girl is only getting along well with him.

If anyone else came looking for her, Seele's first reaction would be to use the remaining Herrscher Authority within her to attack them, almost instinctively killing them.

"Speaking of which, why don't I have that feeling of dislike towards you, Bai Ge? Are you really human?" Seele asked with a doubtful expression.

She harbors an unconscious aversion and resentment towards humanity, an influence etched into her soul by the Honkai's mission to Honkai humanity and destroy civilization after she became Herrscher.

Perhaps the humanity she lost after becoming Herrscher can be rebuilt, but this curse will never disappear.

Just like the underlying rules of robots, it is an absolute curse that cannot be violated. Even now, having lost its core, Seele cannot disobey this mission.

Strangely, she didn't have any feelings for Bai Ge, even though she still "hated" the White Youth who had captured her and taken away her core.

But Seele had no urge to kill Bai Ge.

"Of course I'm human, at least that's how I see myself. But, well, it seems it'll be hard to get you to abandon your darkness and embrace the light." Bai Ge gave a wry smile.

He knew perfectly well what was going on. Although he considered himself human, objectively he was Herrscher, a Herrscher of the highest order, a seven-core Herrscher, and a fellow human of the girl.

The mission given to her by the Honkai was only for humans, Bai Ge was not included in it, so Seele would not have any intention to kill him.

(It seems there really is a fundamental difference between the Herrscher of the Previous Civilization and the Current Civilization. Not only can the Herrschers of the Current Civilization maintain their humanity, but once they decide to betray, they can indeed refuse the will of Honkai. It's as if someone in the future modified the underlying code and removed the restrictions on the Herrscher...)

Bai Ge frowned deeply. In fact, it was almost certain that Seele would not stand on the side of humanity in the future. This was not a matter of whether she wanted to or not, but rather that the Honkai was binding her.

If it were anyone else, they probably would have given up and started thinking about how to squeeze every last drop of value out of her, but...

"Alright, no rush, take it slow. I'll figure out a way to free you from the constraints of the Honkai, but for now... let you experience the beautiful side of the world more."

"Hmph, I didn't ask you to."

"Yes, that's what I want to do."

Bai Ge smiled slightly, completely unconcerned about Seele's indifference.

Although this sounds similar to Otto's, Bai Ge also believes in the power of emotions, that emotions can create Miracle???, that love can overcome everything, and that the impossible does not exist.

Next, he will teach Seele, who is full of resentment towards the world, what love, warmth, and happiness are.

Although there is absolutely no evidence to support this claim.

But Bai Ge felt that as long as he could do these things, sooner or later these beautiful feelings would turn into a sharp sword and cut off the curse of Honkai in a way that was beyond imagination.

After all, what humans are best at is exploiting loopholes.

Even though the Honkai gave the Herrscher of the Previous Civilization an absolute mission to kill humans and destroy civilization.

But if they can find a loophole, a tricky angle, and reverse right and wrong, they might still be able to fight for humanity. This is almost impossible for ordinary people, but it's not impossible for Bai Ge, after all...

He truly possesses a power called "Miracle???".

Bai Ge was eagerly anticipating that entry, hoping it could turn the tide and rewrite fate at a crucial moment.

"It seems you two have developed a good relationship."

Just then, a sour female voice came from behind.

Bai Ge instinctively hugged Seele tightly, and sure enough, the girl instinctively lunged at him.

Mei, what brings you here?

"Isn't this a notification to deliver your permit? Your last application was approved. You could have made the decision yourself, so why did you submit another application?" Mei asked, puzzled.

"Because that's not just my problem." Bai Ge shook his head and patted Seele's head again.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Seele suppressed the murderous intent welling up inside him towards Mei and asked.

"... The Herrscher of Death, your departure is permitted."

"Huh? What? You're willing to let me leave?" Seele's eyes widened in surprise.

"Of course, it doesn't mean you can go anywhere you want. It just means you're allowed to leave the Deepest Depths and have contact with the outside world. And you must accept the restrictions. Cherish this opportunity, because Bai Ge worked really hard to get this permission for you."

Mei said with a hint of jealousy, while taking out a black Soul Steel collar from her bosom and placing it in front of Seele.

"Your permitted activity area is a five-meter radius around Bai Ge. Also, remember to wear this collar, which has a transmitter and a listening device. It can also remind you in a way similar to that of an assassin if you go too far."

May, with her elbows crossed, explained that she actually felt Seele didn't deserve to be treated this way, and many people disagreed with her going out.

Only because Bai Ge's current prestige is high enough was this application approved.

Even though Seele lost her core, she still possessed physical attributes far exceeding those of ordinary people, making her not entirely without threat. Furthermore, there was the instinctive aversion humans had towards Herrscher ...

It's fair to say that without Bai Ge's guarantee, Seele would probably never have been able to step out of the Deepest Depths place in her entire life, but even so, her activities were limited to Bai Ge's side.

"Humans, do you think I would accept this kind of treatment? You think you can Herrscher of Binding? Ridiculous. Let whoever wants to wear this collar wear it. I'm not wearing it. It's like being treated like a dog."

Seele looked at the collar with disdain. Why would she want to go out? Wasn't her life pretty good now? She had food, drink, and fun.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Mei pushed up her glasses, her eyes filled with mockery and disdain as she looked at Seele. Herrscher? What kind of Herrscher one without power? And what's wrong with being a dog? Countless people would love to be Bai Ge's dog.

"The Herrscher of Death, it seems Bai Ge has been too kind to you. He hasn't taught you that prisoners should be humble and submissive."

"What... what do you want to do!"

"It's nothing, I just want you to get some exercise."

Mei held up one finger and twirled the collar, saying with a light laugh.

Then, a few minutes later...

"That despicable woman!!!"

Seele angrily tried to tear off the collar around her neck, and she was forcibly released from prison.

"Huh, they even included a leash..."
