The Problem Child from Honkai in the Type-Moon World

The scene before him caused his once-firm gaze to waver.

A sword lay carelessly discarded, the ground was stained with blood, and Fu Yuan, with a gash on his neck, wore tattered, once-ornate clothes. He slumped in a corner, unresponsive.

Fu Hua longed to rush forward and embrace him, but quickly suppressed the thought due to the Demonic Possession.

The sword in her hand began to fill with Honkai energy. This was her mission.

Fu Hua slowly closed her eyes.

"I'm sorry, A Yuan!"

By the time she opened them, the confusion was gone, replaced by a vacant stare.

The sword in her hand hummed softly, and the wind on the mountain shifted. For a Herrscher, a swift, decisive blow was paramount – a lesson learned from countless experiences.

Fu Hua suddenly dodged to the side, watching Su Mei's sword pierce the spot where she had just been. She felt no anger, only a deepening sorrow in her eyes.

"There's no other way..."

Su Mei ignored her master's words, her gaze filled with despair as she looked at the heavily wounded Fu Yuan before her.

After a long while, she slowly moved to embrace Fu Yuan. However, Fu Yuan, his senses completely shut off, didn't notice.

She let the surrounding Honkai energy erode her body, holding the person in her arms in despair.

"If it were Master, adding one more wouldn't be difficult in a while."

Su Mei looked at Fu Yuan, who appeared dead, guilt, regret, and despair flooding her heart.

"..." Reason told Fu Hua that she should pull Su Mei back now, but she ultimately didn't move, merely watching silently. Finally, she left the mountain with Chao Yu.

Time to go all out.

Fu Hua silently apologized to her friends in her heart. She might forget them all this time.

Constraint. She was very familiar with it. The Herrscher that had caused the most panic for humanity in the previous era, and the one humanity was most helpless against. Although its destructive power wasn't as high as previous Herrschers, it was still beyond her current capabilities. Fortunately, she had Feather of Dust, which could offer her its final tenderness.

"Junior Disciple Brother..." Su Mei's hand trembled as she slowly touched Fu Yuan's face, caressing the wound on his neck.

This was the first time she felt regret.

When Fu Yuan opened his eyes, he saw Su Mei, her entire body covered in purple markings. He tried to move but found himself held tightly.

He touched her face with a hint of confusion, then pressed his own against hers, nuzzling against Su Mei's face, which could now be described as demonic.

"Senior Sister?..."

Fu Yuan began to use his abilities for the first time, eradicating the dangerously high Honkai energy from his Senior Sister's body until Su Mei's condition stabilized.

"Senior Sister, I choose you," Fu Yuan said, then suddenly smiled, looking gently at Su Mei, whose brows had begun to relax.

Looking at his Senior Sister, whose meridians were riddled with holes, Fu Yuan realized he couldn't hate her after all. He then burst into laughter, looking at the face he knew so well.

"I forgive you, Senior Sister..." Without caring if Su Mei heard him, Fu Yuan slowly released his Senior Sister, who had been holding him tightly, and gently kissed her on the cheek.

Then, he unleashed his full power.

Divine Grace Barrier.

The rampaging Honkai energy seemed to encounter its natural predator and began to vanish. Soon, Taixu Mountain returned to its former appearance.

No, the Honkai energy was far cleaner than before.

Fu Yuan stood up, familiarizing himself with his current body. He then scooped up his Senior Sister and unhurriedly walked down the mountain.

He saw his Master standing halfway down the mountain, holding the Xuanyuan Sword he had found years ago, looking at him calmly.

"Master, would you believe me if I said I'm fine now?"

Fu Yuan's previously cheerful face suddenly contorted with distress. Looking at his fully armed Master, his expression became remarkably complex.

As if sensing his thoughts, the Stigmata that had appeared from nowhere on his body began to activate. With the Stigmata's activation, Fu Yuan's demonic features gradually faded, his pupils returned to their original black, and his clothes transformed back into tattered Taoist robes.

Feeling the changes in his body and looking at his astonished Master, Fu Yuan spoke again.

"I'm back! Master."

ps. Here's why I said Fu Hua couldn't defeat the current Constraint.

I've mentioned this briefly before: Herrschers correspond to human civilization, while Constraint corresponds to supernatural abilities.

In the previous era, the Fire Moth (the largest anti-Honkai organization and the only one remaining in the later stages) initiated the Kindling Project, leaving behind the strongest batch of Fusion Warriors scattered across the globe.

Simultaneously, they forcibly imparted all scientific knowledge to them, hoping they would develop rapidly and inherit their will.

Civilization did not develop quickly due to various conditions, but those warriors themselves represented the pinnacle of the supernatural realm, and their strength continued to grow over time.

(Fusion Warriors are immortal.)

Therefore, in the supernatural domain, it's never about the average. The Constraint Herrscher is not weaker than in the previous era; it could probably crush a certain six-core entity.

"I didn't expect Senior Sister to make me experience it all over again."

Fu Yuan sat calmly on the mountain within the Stigmata, looking at his Senior Sister, who had woken up long ago, with disbelief. How dare she!

"This isn't what you asked me to show you?"

Su Mei's expression suddenly became animated. She had initially thought it was just a minor resentment in her heart about that one form, so she hadn't said anything. It was her fault anyway.

But looking at Fu Yuan's current reaction, Su Mei felt he wasn't lying.

"What on earth possessed me to make you watch something like this?"

Fu Yuan found the situation suddenly interesting, and the two stared at each other.

Fu Yuan silently wondered in his heart who had the ability to flip through this segment of his memories without his knowledge.

Gaia (Earth's consciousness)? It shouldn't be. He wasn't planning to obtain the Third Magic. If it were her, she wouldn't do something like this.

That means Alaya! (Humanity's collective unconsciousness) But that doesn't make sense either! He wasn't endangering humanity's existence, so she shouldn't be involved.

Su Mei wasn't thinking that far. She simply checked her current state.

Then she suddenly burst out laughing. After laughing, she looked at her Junior Disciple Brother, who was looking at her with confusion.

She decided not to tease him any longer and directly revealed what she had discovered.

"Spirit Core."

She uttered just two simple words, finding Fu Yuan's stunned expression on the opposite side hilarious, yet also a little helpless.

They shared a Spirit Core. This meant that now that the Spirit Core was damaged, their memories were linked. This was just a minor issue; who knew what other problems might arise.

Chapter 32: Asagami, huh! Never mind then.

Fu Yuan's expression instantly froze. Sharing memories with a beautiful girl might seem like a wonderful thing to others.

But! Their memories had already been linked a long time ago, which was one of the reasons their relationship was so delicate now.

Therefore, another linkage would only repeat their memories. There was no joyous occasion to be had.

Su Mei didn't have much of a reaction to the situation. After all, she was dead, so why bother with such things?

Fu Yuan rubbed his stiff face and said with a helpless smile.

"Well, this is really something. Senior Sister, I'm going out first. It's about time."

After speaking, Fu Yuan shrugged. But before leaving.

He hugged his Senior Sister tightly again and, under her surprised gaze, gave her a firm kiss.

"Hoo… feeling refreshed!"

Fu Yuan stretched lazily, saying he felt very comfortable.

"Looks like A Yuan slept well," Irisviel said, feeling inexplicably at ease seeing his relaxed demeanor.

"Yeah! It was good in the end!" Fu Yuan admitted, recalling the previous events.

Irisviel blinked in confusion. Good in the end? What does that mean?

"Right, Irisviel, have we arrived?" Fu Yuan asked, looking at the unfamiliar street.

"Hmm~ Didn't you notice there's an extra person in the car, A Yuan?"

Irisviel looked at Fu Yuan, who hadn't noticed the extra person in the car at all, and became interested in his sensory mechanisms.

"Huh?" Fu Yuan finally reacted slowly and looked at the back seat.

Hmm~ Purple hair, red eyes, Takeuchi Face, and! Is that a chest? That's a chest! She doesn't look any bigger than mine!

"Irisviel, this is illegal!" Fu Yuan said, looking at the girl in the back seat who already had a considerable bust for her age, and then looked at Irisviel with concern.

The future Illya (another movie) won't inherit this from you, will she!

"Illegal? A Yuan, how is your brain wired?"

"It's obvious I'm just taking her home."

Irisviel gave him a helpless glance. This A Yuan always thought of strange things.

Fu Yuan turned his head away, pretending not to hear.

Then he looked at the expressionless girl in the back seat and felt that things were not simple.

Irisviel was driving, Irisviel #2 was lying in the back seat, and this purple-haired girl showed no curiosity.

Interesting!

Fu Yuan's interest was piqued, feeling like he had found some entertainment for the day.

"Um, what's your name?" Fu Yuan first composed his facial expression, revealing a gentle smile, and then asked in a soft tone.

The girl looked up at him with a hint of confusion, but showed no other reaction.

After a moment of stunned silence, just as Fu Yuan's expression was about to freeze, the girl finally... expressionlessly raised a finger towards him.

"You're asking me?"

Her tone was equally calm, as if the situation before her wasn't worth getting emotional about.

Fu Yuan suddenly began to doubt himself. Did I get disfigured?

But he quickly recovered, looking at the girl before him, who could be described as having no expressions, no emotions, and no desires, and asked again, very gently.

"Mhm, may I know your name?"

The girl nodded blankly, then, as if reciting numbers, calmly stated her information.

"My name is Asagami Fujino."

Fu Yuan blinked, thinking he might have misheard.

"You mean Asagami?"

The girl's expression remained unchanged, merely adding calmly.

"Asagami. But if you're trying to gain more benefits by doing so... that man doesn't value me."

"Asagami (Asagami: a homophone)! That fallen Exorcist Family?"

Irisviel suddenly interjected, then looked at the girl who completely ignored A Yuan's appearance in the rearview mirror with great interest.

"? Exorcist Family?"

Fujino looked completely clueless about what she was talking about, a look of confusion on her face.

Fu Yuan looked at the Takeuchi Face that finally showed some expression and twitched at the corner of his mouth. So I'm not even as important as that piece of news!

"Hmm~ Asagami!"

However, Fu Yuan didn't really care about these things. Instead, he sat in his seat and started thinking.

Fujino stared curiously at the white-haired beauty driving. As for the person lying next to her, who looked exactly like her? She was still a bit curious.

She was indeed curious, after all, it was only painless, not an absence of emotion, though the two were somewhat related.
