Midday Chat

"What you're saying sounds like the next era is going to be quite interesting," Elysia said with a smile, though the fact that the Fourth Herrscher had been knocked unconscious by a Titan still bothered her somewhat...

"So, in what you see of my future, do Kevin and the others appear?" Elysia asked. "What choices did everyone ultimately make?"

"Mobius's death is unknown. Qianjie, Pardo, Kosma, Vill-V died on the moon. Sakura... died in the Twelfth Herrscher Incident before the Finality. Eden feared you would be lonely in this era, so she perished along with it. Su exhausted her life to find the only way to defeat the Honkai among Thousand Worlds myriad worlds. After you sacrificed yourself, Aponia became the Elysian Realm at the cost of her life to verify whether you had severed the threads of humanity." Zhu Yufeng said, "Kevin... in the end, he still carried everything alone."

Elysia was silent for a moment before softly asking, "So... what about you?"

Why is he not in the future that Kaede sees?

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

How is he supposed to explain this? He's not from this world; what he's saying is just part of the game's plot.

"In the future I've seen, I've never looked at myself." He chose to be vague.

"So fate isn't invincible, is it?" Elysia smiled. "Look, in your previous life, you at least saved Sakura and Phyllis. And you also joined our stage and fought alongside us."

"Yes, I changed the fate of many people and saved many people, but I couldn't save you." Zhu Yufeng looked at Elysia and said, "I knew long ago that almost all the Fusion Warrior would die in the Tragedy of Binding, and the remaining Fusion Warrior would form the Thirteen Heroes of Fire Moth ..."

"It's the Fourteen Schicksal!" Elysia corrected.

Zhu Yufeng simply looked at Elysia without saying a word.

Elysia paused for a moment before realizing that the future he was referring to was a future in which he had never existed. However, Elysia still stubbornly insisted, "I don't care, it's the Fourteen Schicksal! What Thirteen Flame-Chasers? That's something that never happened!"

Zhu Yufeng smiled helplessly, "Um... it's Fourteen Schicksal."

Elysia nodded in satisfaction. How could Feng not be one of the Flame-Chasers?

Zhu Yufeng realized it was almost noon, and everyone should get together for lunch. He took out his phone and said to Elysia, "Since you and Eden are here too, why don't you ask Eden's opinion? Let's all have lunch together. Last night, because you left the team, and everyone seemed to be in a bad mood, we ate dinner rather hastily."

Elysia squinted at Zhu Yufeng. "Everyone's in a bad mood? Don't you know who it is?" Besides, she didn't care about the others, but Kevin's mood was definitely not bad. She even felt that Kevin was about to take off with joy.

Zhu Yufeng was just about to tell Ying to tell Pardo and the others to meet up for lunch later when she saw the message from Vill-V.

And it was just released.

"Since you saved us, you must be prepared to take responsibility for us."

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

I forgot that Vill-V had planted a listening device on me... Oh well, at least Vill-V replied to my message, which proves that her mental state should be relatively stable. It would be really unsettling if she didn't reply.

Judging from the looks of it, at most I'll be locked in a dark room for a while when I get back. Anyway, Elysia and the others will always find a way to find me, and Vill-V can't do anything to me.

After all, while the Evil one might be a yandere, the other personalities of Vill-V are not.

Having reached the agreed meeting place, Eden and the others were already waiting there; Zhu Yufeng and Elysia were considered late.

Elysia noticed that Pardo was looking at her with a resentful expression, and chuckled as she went over and pinched Pardo's cheek, "Phyllis, why are you looking at me like that? Pretty girls shouldn't make that kind of face~"

Pardo pouted. "Sister Elysia, you ran away!"

The enemy should have been Lilith, so why did you run away first, Sister Elysia?

Elysia paused for a moment, then laughed even harder, saying, "Phyllis, sometimes you have to create your own opportunities~"

Although Phyllis also likes Maple, she's just a cat. What bad intentions could a cat possibly have? And who would dislike a cat with no ulterior motives?

Pardo stared at Elysia with narrowed eyes. It was clearly Eden who helped you out, Sister Elysia? If Eden hadn't come to their side, she would have gone to find Brother Yu Feng long ago.

On the other side, Kevin also came over with shopping bags along with Su. Looking at what Kevin was carrying, Zhu Yufeng stroked her chin and thought for a moment, feeling that she also needed to bring back something for Mobius and the others. Oh, and something for Qianjie ... although she felt that Qianjie would probably look down on most of the things available at the amusement park. After all, Qianjie was still her companion, and she couldn't forget him.

He said he accepted Master Qian's friendship.

Speaking of companions... let's go to Dusk Street to see Aponia sometime.

I also need to think carefully about the gift for little Griseo. Although it's still early, it's necessary to prepare in advance.

Hmm... the only one we haven't heard from the Present is Hua. After all, Hua never even considered the meaning of his fight, so even if he did, he's probably just withdrawn by now...

Go back and ask about the situation in Hen Canghai City.

While Zhu Yufeng was thinking, Kosma also helped Disaster Dobia over. The little girl's face was pale, and she looked like she had been badly frightened in the haunted house.

When it came time to order, it seemed like Kevin wanted him to order, but to avoid everyone eating noodles together, Zhu Yufeng Kevin first.

As for Kevin... take care of him, get him a bowl of noodles.

At the dinner table, since Disaster and Suzuba were present, it wasn't appropriate to talk about their past lives, so everyone started recounting their experiences from the morning.

"Then Brother Yu Feng just pressed one hand on his face and forced his head back in." Pardo recounted her experience in the haunted house, while secretly glancing at Elysia sitting next to Zhu Yufeng. She also wanted to sit next to Brother Yu Feng!

Unfortunately Kevin and Sister Elysia were both incredibly fast, and she didn't even have a chance to react!

"As expected of Maple, unlike Amo, who just stands there doing nothing!" Disaster subtly expressed her dissatisfaction with Kosma.

Kosma: "..."

Disaster, who's a year older and taller than him, please wake up! He's the Present two or three years away from adulthood. Compared to people like Maple and Kevin, who are almost adults, it's difficult for him to push their faces back to normal at his the Present height... Oh wait, why would he even think that? Pushing staff members' faces back to normal is wrong in the first place, isn't it?!

"That's definitely Feng's style," Su said with a faint smile.

"After Kaede left the team, we did some sightseeing activities with Eden," Sakura said. At that time, she could clearly feel that her younger sister seemed to want to say something but then gave up... She was such a bad older sister QAQ.

"I went on the roller coaster and the teacups with Maple~" Elysia said with a smile. "Kosma was really loud on the roller coaster."

Kosma: "... It's only human nature."

Please, don't even mention it. Ling has already looked over here. At least don't let him die in front of a child.

"You'll get used to it after a few more practice sessions," Kevin said dismissively.

Kosma: "... No need."

Seeing that Kevin seemed to want to say something more, Zhu Yufeng decided to strike first. After all, with Kevin's ability to read the air, which was no less than Karna's, it wouldn't be good if he said anything first, "Kevin, what gift did you buy for Mei?"

Kevin paused, glanced at the shopping bag he had placed aside, and said, "After all, Mei doesn't really like things that don't have any practical value, so I took Sue's advice and bought a doll."

"Since Mei thinks it's better to be practical, Kevin and I will go to the amusement park this afternoon to buy some clothes," Su continued. "That way, Kevin won't be able to do anything reckless, right?"

"If you're going out, I think you could buy a bracelet or something, preferably a matching set," Elysia suggested. "After all, very few girls can resist that—Mei is no exception!"

Of course, the premise is that it's cute enough, but if Sue is there, Kevin probably wouldn't pick something so outrageous.

"What are your plans for this afternoon?" Kevin asked Zhu Yufeng.

"Me? After all, I promised Elysia I'd spend the whole day with her, so I'll still be with Elysia this afternoon," Zhu Yufeng said.

"Is that so..." Kevin seemed thoughtful. Then he and Sue could go scouting the place this afternoon.

Sue: Something feels off again. Kevin didn't say anything this time.

Pardo looked at Elysia with a resentful expression again. "Sister Elysia, you're actually going to occupy Brother Yu Feng for an entire afternoon! An entire afternoon, please!"

However, Sister Eden also knows this. Sister Elysia will definitely still be with Sister Eden at night. Well, at that time, she will try to find opportunities to be alone with Brother Yu Feng!

By the way, they can play games together!

Seeing that Kevin had finally stopped talking and was now slurping his noodles in peace, Zhu Yufeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then took out his phone to remotely monitor Mobius's training plan as usual!
