Seele: I Can't Let Bai Ge Down! (Continued)

Even while drinking iced cola, Seele felt she couldn't suppress her anger. That damned Elysia! Today was supposed to be her date with Bai Ge!

You appear so often, and when I finally get a chance to appear, you steal the spotlight.

It's decided. Once my powers Herrscher of Death are restored, the first thing I'll do is take down this Pink Fairy!

"It's so heartbreaking, Seele. When Bai Ge is too busy to be with you, isn't it always me who goes to the Deepest Depths to see you? Why can't you love me the way you love Bai Ge?"

"Elysia, don't you have any self-awareness? And I beg you, don't ever come to see me again!"

Seele's eye twitched, as if she had recalled some painful memory. She subconsciously shrank behind Bai Ge, glaring at the Pink Fairy Lady like a black cat seeing a stranger.

It's true that Elysia often goes to the Deepest Depths to see her.

To be precise, after Aponia arrived, this Pink Fairy developed a strange "expectation" for Seele.

"Seele ~ I just want you to turn over a new leaf and get along well with everyone. I believe that even the 17th Herrscher can stand on the side of humanity! No, it is definitely possible!"

"You and Bai Ge are really alike in this respect, but! Elysia ~ your so-called method to reform me is to tell me your love stories with Bai Ge? I don't want to hear them!"

Thinking back to the days when Elysia forced her to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), Seele's cheeks twitched involuntarily.

(I don't want to know how many times you and Bai Ge have kissed or hugged! I also don't want to know about how you two grew up together and traveled the world together—those stories are so sweet they're making my teeth ache!)

"Um, don't you think our story is wonderful? After hearing it, the world seems to sparkle, and I don't want to destroy the world anymore."

"Heh~ On the contrary! Hearing this makes me want to destroy the world even more!" (The anger of a single person)

"Ah, this..."

Elysia scratched her head awkwardly.

She didn't understand where she went wrong. Although it seemed like she was forcing love on Seele, Elysia actually wanted to influence Seele and make her a human Herrscher.

The reason for using that method is quite simple.

(I'm also a Herrscher, but why have I never thought about destroying humanity? Hmm, it must be because I've experienced the beauty of this world since I was a child, and I've been pampered by Bai Ge!)

Elysia believed it so firmly that...

(If that's the case, then as long as I share my story with Seele and let her understand the beauty of the world, the beauty of Bai Ge /humanity! I'm sure I can turn her into a good Herrscher!)

Although she has never told anyone, Elysia is now certain that she is a Herrscher.

She knew in her heart that she could not hide her identity forever, and the day when it would be exposed would come sooner or later.

In order to minimize people's fear of her when that day arrives, Elysia desperately hopes that Seele can be the proof.

Proof that even Herrscher can coexist harmoniously with humanity!

This could be considered Elysia's wishful thinking, but it was also her way of saving Seele.

Because Seele is like her, Aili sincerely hopes that the girl can find happiness like herself!

(Elysia: "Um, as long as the target isn't my Bai Ge, I already have enough rivals.")

In short, Elysia's intentions were undoubtedly good; she cared about everyone as always.

But this time it had the opposite effect.

"I hate those stories the most!"

Seele roared angrily.

Every time Hill heard Elysia tell her stories with such a happy expression, Seele only feeling was that this person was showing off! She felt unbearably envious and jealous!

(Damn it! Why?! Why Elysia you get to be with Bai Ge from the moment you were born?! Why are you always pampered by him?! Why can't I?! Why did I have to meet Bai Ge after I became Herrscher?! Why... when it was my turn, it was too late?)

Seele certainly felt the beauty in Elysia's story, but compared to the overwhelming envy and jealousy that arose in her heart, that beauty seemed insignificant.

Elysia couldn't understand her feelings.

After all, this Pink Fairy Lady was lucky; she received everything at the moment of her birth, so Aili could never understand the feelings of Seele, who was already too late.

No matter how much she said, it only made Seele feel the injustice of fate, because when Seele finally found her own light, she found herself in an abyss from which she could not escape.

(I'm already a Herrscher, what can I do! If only... if only I had met Bai Ge sooner, if only I could be as lucky as you...)

Seele felt even more upset thinking about this.

The hero who saved them arrived too late.

Now, he has been cursed by God/ Honkai to destroy humanity, and has become a Herrscher with blood on his hands!

She's beyond saving! (Unless some Herrscher of Origin sacrifices themselves to make a wish...)

The only thing to be thankful for is that even so, Bai Ge was willing to treat her gently, unlike in the TV series where the protagonist says, "I'm sorry I'm late, I'll definitely save you faster in the next life" and then stabs her to death.

Anyway, Seele doesn't ask for anything anymore.

Being Bai Ge's prisoner for life is pretty good.

At least I live a more comfortable life than when I was a human being or Herrscher.

However, Seele occasionally thought about starting her life over again, hoping that she could meet Bai Ge sooner in her next life.

"Bai Ge, I'm still thirsty."

After finishing his iced cola, Seele casually tossed the empty glass into the trash can, then shook Bai's hand and said...

"Okay, then I'll buy you more. By the way Seele, can you still hold back? Don't push yourself too hard."

"It's alright, Seele can still hold it in!"

She gripped Bai Ge's hand slightly tighter, and Bai Ge nodded with relief. He knew that Seele was actually trying hard to restrain his murderous impulses as Herrscher.

Because the mall was packed with people, Seele had a hard time holding back! But what could she do? She was right there beside her.

"Hmm, Seele is such a good girl, so amazing," Bai Ge praised, gently patting the girl's head.

"It's all thanks to you..."

Seele said in a soft, affectionate voice.

Because she felt like killing whenever she saw a human, Seele only allowed her gaze to be fixed on Bai Ge. Since she would instinctively act whenever her hands were idle, she needed to hold his hand at all times.

It can be said that Bai Ge has now become Seele's suppressor; as long as he is by her side, she can control herself.

"Although drinking soda can make you happy, it's better to drink other things, especially iced ones."

"Oh, then I'll drink the milk tea from Elysia's hand."

"Be careful not to get an upset stomach if you drink something hot after drinking something cold."

"A bad stomach? How could that be? I'm Herrscher!"

Seele put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest.

Bai Ge quickly covered her mouth. Seele's identity Herrscher was still kept secret, and calling Herrscher in public was tantamount to telling people to come and beat her up in the Previous Civilization.

Fortunately, there wasn't anyone around, otherwise, Bai found making up excuses troublesome, might have just used "Feather of the Wind" directly.

In the end, Seele did get to drink the milk tea.

"Wow! This is way too sweet!"

"It's because Aili likes sweet flavors."

"Hehe~ Beautiful girls are made of sugar, spices and countless wonderful things, so they are inherently sweet." Elysia with her hands on her hips, looking completely matter-of-fact.

"Heh~ So, do you dare to reveal your weight?"

Seele said with a cold laugh.

"..."

The decisive blow silenced Elysia with just one sentence.

"57.9KG, I think it's okay."

Bai Ge revealed Elysia's weight.

"Bai, Bai Bai?! How did you know? I clearly delete the scale records every morning, sob sob, who leaked Miss Fairy's confidential information!"

Elysia panicked immediately. She didn't want Bai Ge to know her weight, and she thought she had kept it a secret.

"Why would I need anyone to tell me? I'll just hug you and you'll know immediately." Bai Ge said, demonstrating on the spot. He hugged Elysia's waist tightly and then lifted her up.

"Hmm, I feel like I've gained another 0.1kg. No wonder it's a high-calorie milk tea with three spoonfuls of sugar added, the effect is obvious."

"Ugh! Don't tell me I don't want to hear this~"

"Aili, escaping reality is not a good habit, and I don't mind. It's very comfortable to hug you when you're chubby."

"Ugh~ What's with this mix of happiness and sadness? I need to have another cup of milk tea to calm down."

Elysia continued drinking, feeling frustrated.

Seele was speechless, thinking that this person really didn't learn her lesson. Shouldn't a normal person immediately throw away the milk tea, then resolve to start dieting tomorrow, and only then start giving up? Cute Elysia, why did you just start giving up right away?

Does that mean you can do whatever you want just because Bai Ge dotes on you? Damn it, I wish you'll grow into a pink pig someday!

Suddenly, at that moment.

"Wait! This, how is this possible!"

Seele's expression changed, and the milk tea in her hand fell to the ground. The girl had an incredulous look on her face.
