The atmosphere in the laboratory was unusually somber.

Mobius sized up the pink-haired assassin before him and slowly said, "You're quick, aren't you? Sakura, has your sister been settled? As far as I know, assassination organizations aren't something you can just take down so easily."

Sakura calmly replied, "No need for the doctor to worry. In my previous life, I joined the Fire Moth just the same way I did in this life." It's just that I sold out my original organization.

Mobius tapped his forehead lightly. "Oh dear, let me guess, you're here for Yu Feng too, right?" What a nuisance. Everyone with a way is trying to sneak away, Vill-V too, Sakura too...

"Me too?" Sakura asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Look at me, and you still don't realize it? We've all been captured, oh, and so far, Elysia and Vill-V are also known to be captured." Mobius shrugged. "Of course, Yu Feng is captured too."

Cherry Blossom remained silent.

"If possible, I would prefer that you keep it a secret from Yu Feng, and most importantly, don't let Yu Feng know that you are a mistress," Mobius said, looking at Sakura.

"Why?" Sakura asked.

"Currently, only Elysia Yu Feng has confessed that she is a lesbian, but she is Elysia after all, and she is different from us. To put it bluntly, do you want him to follow the same path as in his previous life?" Mobius said, sighing inwardly. She also wanted Yu Feng to confess, but the Present was indeed not the right time.

She even wondered what the consequences would be if she confessed.

Zhu Yufeng: "Since you are also a fusion warrior, Doctor, please perform the Fusion Warrior surgery on me the Present."

That's bound to happen!

The same goes for Sakura. Mobius is willing to guarantee that as long as Zhu Yufeng dares to ask, there's nothing Sakura won't agree to.

After listening to Mobius's words, Sakura thought for a moment and gently shook her head, "I... of course I don't want him to be like he was in his previous life, but, Doctor, how can you prove it..."

"These are his daily training data and information since he came to headquarters." Mobius handed a report to Sakura. "He's the Present obsessed with Honkai. Even though Elysia has made it clear to him that she likes him, it's still no use."

After reading the report, Sakura remained silent for a long time.

This amount of training is normal for a qualified Fire Moth Warrior, but... Feng's the Present physical fitness is far below the passing grade for a qualified warrior.

Thinking about it, this is actually quite normal. After Lilith died, there was nothing left in Maple's world except fighting against the Honkai. He is also a member of the Honkai the Present, so naturally he is the same as he was back then.

"I understand, I won't tell him," Sakura said.

She wasn't really concerned about whether Feng would like her; she just wanted to protect Feng and do everything in her power to do so. Her own feelings... didn't matter.

If I had to say... Elysia might be more suitable to stand by Kaede's side than I am.

If it were Elysia, she could surely save him, right?

Changkong City, it's still that same noodle shop.

It's still Kevin and Sue, but this time they've added Kosma.

"Kosma, how did you know we were here?" Kevin asked.

"... The data on the Fire Moth states that this is the site of the Third Honkai Eruption," Kosma said.

(Back then, I really admired Kevin. I read and memorized all the information related to Kevin. I never thought it would actually come in handy one day.)

"And then you just came all this way?" Kevin said. "Are you planning to stop the Third Honkai Eruption all by yourself?"

"...I want to use this to further Fire Moth," Kosma said.

(After all, I joined the Fire Moth during the Fourth Honkai Eruption for similar reasons. I remember that Maple also joined Elysia's team as a formal warrior during the Fourth Honkai Eruption.)

"Hmm...yeah, I'm also planning to join the Fire Moth like before after this." Kevin looked at Su, "Su has also decided to join the Fire Moth with me."

Su nodded gently.

Since studying medicine won't save anyone anyway, he might as well join the Fire Moth to save the people he wants to save, his mentor, and his best friend.

"... Do you think it's possible for Feng to be pregnant?" Kosma raised a question he considered quite important.

"Judging from the current situation, it is possible that all Fourteen Schicksal are involved," Su said.

(Indeed, Disaster has no memories of her previous life. If Feng is a monster, the problem becomes much more complicated. He absolutely cannot be allowed to have any more contact with Lilith; that woman will only blindly obey him. Elysia is also out of the question, since Feng only went that far because of her. Vill-V... she's even less suitable... Indeed, we still have to rely on Michael; she's the one who can guide Feng onto the right path.)

"However, when it comes to this, there's one thing Sue and I have never agreed on." Kevin looked at Sue.

"What is it?" Kosma asked.

(Kevin and Su Chan had a disagreement? 'Mentioning this'... is it related to Maple?)

"I think we should try to keep Maple away from Elysia, but since there's a pretty good chance Elysia is also involved, we should look for Lilith first," Kevin said.

Su sighed and said, "Kevin, Lilith will only obey Feng's orders unconditionally. She cannot and will not change Feng. Only Elysia could possibly do that."

Kosma: "..."

(So this is the story? Indeed, it's related to Kaede, but I'm sorry, I can only understand half of what you two are saying.)

Dusk Street.

Pardo slumped listlessly on the table, muttering to herself, "Wait a minute, why haven't I seen Sister Vill-V lately?"

"Hmph, that woman..." Qianjie leaned against the doorway, "If she's also gone, she's probably already joined the Fire Moth to find him."

Pardo immediately perked up. "That's definitely possible... Wait, does Sister Vill-V also like Brother Yu Feng?"

Qianjie sneered. He didn't care about Vill-V's other personalities, but that Evil one was even crazier than him. Did he think he couldn't see through her little schemes for Feng? He was crazy, but he wasn't stupid.

After Aponia finished distributing food to the children, she looked at Pardo, who was in a frenzy, and Qianjie, who had calmed down considerably, and touched her chin with her hand.

Eden came to see her a few days ago, and the two of them reached an agreement, which was to let things take their course, but if possible, they hoped to resolve the rift between Maple and Elysia.

But... why did she become a little anxious when she thought that the others might have already gone to find Feng?

Fire Moth Headquarters Base.

Zhu Yufeng's eyes twitched as he looked at Sakura standing next to Mobius. How could Sakura be doing this? Isn't the Present the time for her to join the Fire Moth? If there's a plot, isn't this plot so badly messed up that even her own parents wouldn't recognize her?

"Let me introduce you. This is Sakura, your sparring partner whom Elysia found through her own efforts," Mobius said. Anyway, only Elysia had confessed to Yu Feng, so she had to take the blame.

Sakura nodded. "You."

Oh, it was Elysia who did it. Well, that's fine then.

Wait, did Elysia bring Vill-V with her this time?

Thinking about one of Vill-V's personalities makes Zhu Yufeng feel a little uneasy. In his previous life, he had fused with too many Honkai Beasts, and his own humanity had become somewhat indifferent, so he didn't really care. The Present that he thinks about it, damn it, that's a yandere, right? She's a yandere!

"Then please guide me." Zhu Yufeng smiled and extended her hand. "Please, don't go easy on me. I will definitely complete any kind of training."

Sakura looked at him, extended her hand to grasp his. "Let's not delay, let's begin our training the Present." She knew why Dr. Mobius hadn't let her tell Kaede that she was Kaede's true identity; she truly... couldn't refuse Kaede...

On the plane that returned to Fire Moth.

"Achoo!" Elysia sneezed cutely. "Who's thinking about me again? Is it Maple?" Come to think of it, why does she feel like there's something extra on her head?

"Hmph! He wouldn't miss you!" Evil muttered to himself.

This time, she seems to have a lot of rivals. Maybe she should try to kidnap Yu Feng and escape from the Fire Moth? Hmm, then she'll have to consider how to keep Yu Feng by her side. What if Yu Feng makes a request of her? How will she fulfill it?

Although the other personalities did not know what the Evil was thinking, they still tried to stay as far away from the Evil as possible in Vill-V's mind space.

We always feel out of place with you because we're not weird enough.

If Evil knew what the other Vill-V were thinking, she would definitely say, "Was I wrong to try and win over Yu Feng? Even if I win over Yu Feng, you can still get a share of the spoils, right?"
