Pardo: Brother Yu Feng, I'm Here! Flying Tackle

Qianjie's anger seemed to rise again as he looked at the pink-haired girl who had spoken up. "Elysia, how dare you show your face here!"

"Hmm, at least it's much more polite than before..." Elysia tilted her head. "But Qianjie, it's not appropriate to make a move here."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Qianjie Jie stomped his foot on the ground. "You! And Feng! Tian must pay the price for what you two have done!"

"Don't make it sound like I did something heinous with Elysia!" Zhu Yufeng thought to himself.

"There's really no other way. When faced with a boy's enthusiastic greeting, you still have to use some extreme measures." Elysia shrugged, then winked at Zhu Yufeng silently took out a gun and loaded it with tranquilizer darts.

You asked him why he had tranquilizer grenades? After all, if you want to stop people who insist on breaking into Changkong City, but can't directly use force to kill them, tranquilizer grenades are essential, right?

A few minutes later, amidst the chaos, the Qianjie could not be averted!

"Oh dear, as expected of Qianjie, he actually used up so many tranquilizer darts..." Elysia squatted down and poked Qianjie's head to confirm that Master Qian was indeed unable to get up again.

Zhu Yufeng glanced at the empty magazine and pondered how strong Elysia's combat power was now. At least... she was probably still more than capable of fighting Qian Jie one-on-one, just like Qianjie. Qianjie couldn't even touch Elysia.

Elysia may be far inferior to Qianjie in terms of strength stats, but she can still fly Qianjie's kite.

"The tranquilizer dart's effect on Qianjie probably won't last long. He'll likely wake up soon," Sakura said, frowning. She knew Qianjie's constitution all too well. Just last time, she stabbed him through the heart, and he only lay down for a short while before getting up to fight her again.

"It's alright, he'll be calmer by the time Qianjie wakes up." Elysia stood up and looked at Zhu Yufeng. "Feng, wasn't our teamwork great this time?"

Zhu Yufeng nodded. "Yes, it's perfect..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a swift figure rushed towards him with a cheerful voice. "Brother Yu Feng!"

Zhu Yufeng instinctively took a half-step back, lowering his center of gravity, and then caught the other person. Then his face...

The action was so fast that even Elysia and Sakura didn't have time to react, since their attention was on Qianjie, and he didn't seem to be hostile.

That familiar voice...

Elysia was the first to react. "Phyllis?!"

What's going on? Why is Phyllis here too? And why are you hugging Maple?!

Pardo didn't seem to notice anything amiss, hugging Zhu Yufeng and saying, "Waaah, it's the real Brother Yu Feng! I've finally seen you again, Brother Yu Feng..."

Zhu Yufeng: "... Let go first."

Speak properly. What do you mean by "alive"? If I'm standing here, am I alive or dead?

And... he's suffocating.

If this keeps up, he'll become the most shameful yuri! Hmm... he hasn't awakened yet, so he doesn't count. The third yuri is still the most shameful.

"Ah, oh..." Pardo obediently let go of Zhu Yufeng and got off.

"Phyllis, shouldn't you be on Dusk Street at this time? How did you get here?" Elysia asked with some confusion, while moving a little closer to Zhu Yufeng.

"Oh, Sister Elysia, it's a long story." Pardo, who didn't seem to be in the mood, poured out her grievances to Elysia. "Originally, the first thing I wanted to do after I found out I was reborn was to find Brother Yu Feng, but I didn't know where Brother Yu Feng was at this time, so I went to find Sister Nia."

"Aponia? Is she alright?" Zhu Yufeng asked. His last impression of Aponia was that she went to the Elysian Realm, sacrificing her life to become Elysian Realm itself. Of course, there was also the hug she asked for before leaving.

"Don't even mention it. Sister Nia was saying something about becoming Satan being Brother Yu Feng's destiny, and then she wouldn't say anything else," Pardo complained. "This time, we saw on TV that some major disaster had happened in Changkong City, and we wondered if it was Honkai, and if Brother Yu Feng might be here, so we came here with Jie Ge."

So it turns out that Qianjie was brought by Pardo.

That's good. With Qianjie around, probably no one has dared to cause trouble for Pardo along the way.

Zhu Yufeng glanced at Qianjie, who had already sat up. Good, he had only managed to keep Qianjie lying down for a short while after emptying a magazine of tranquilizer darts.

"Hmph! That woman..." Qianjie muttered unhappily, "In the end, she did exactly what she said..."

"Oh, by the way, Sister Eden also came to see Sister Nia. She gave Sister Nia a lot of money, saying that Sister Nia could use it to improve the children's meals. The money I came here with was also given to me by Sister Eden," Pardo continued.

"Eden ..." Zhu Yufeng stroked his chin. He remembered that he had asked Eden to write a dirge for him, and Eden had agreed. He just didn't know if Eden would eventually choose to end his life with this era, just like the original boundary line.

He had tried his best to persuade Eden, but when artists are stubborn, even a knife to their throat won't stop them. For example, Beethoven, born 10,000 years later, even if he were deaf, couldn't stop her from composing the Symphony No. 5.

Well...

Wait a minute, now that we have a pretty clear picture of the situation of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, what about Hua?

Zhu Yufeng recalled that girl who seemed like she had social anxiety; the difference between her and the girl ten thousand years later was enormous, even though she hadn't changed much...

Pardo was still muttering to herself, "I didn't expect you, Brother Yu Feng, to join the Fire Moth so early. I was thinking of finding you earlier, but it's too late..." Waaah, she wanted to be a chivalrous thief on Dusk Street with Brother Yu Feng.

Elysia: "..."

So, how come she didn't realize there were so many girls who liked Maple last time? Could it be that Aponia and her Good Eden also...? No way?

"Where's Kevin? Has that kid joined the Fire Moth yet?" Qianjie asked in a muffled voice.

"He should have just finished training by now." Elysia estimated the time; she should be able to see the exhausted Kevin when she got back.

"Hmph... There's no other way. Hey, Elysia, do you have a way to get me into the Fire Moth?" Qianjie said, looking at Zhu Yufeng. "Since I can't stop you from entering, then this time I'll watch you myself! This time, neither you nor you will leave alone!"

Elysia was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't expect you to care so Qianjie about me and Feng~ I'm so touched, what about you, Feng?"

Zhu Yufeng simply looked at Qianjie in silence; he probably couldn't agree to this.

Qianjie didn't expect to hear any promises from Zhu Yufeng. He decided that this time he would keep a close eye on Feng. If Feng dared to do anything suicidal alone again, he would break his legs first!

Pardo pouted, her weight on one foot while the other drew circles on the ground. "Hmm... since we've already seen Brother Yu Feng, we won't stay here any longer. We're going back to Dusk Street."

"Hmm, Phyllis, aren't you going to join the Fire Moth?" Elysia asked, somewhat surprised.

"No, no..." Pardo quickly waved her hand, "I'm just an ordinary person, I just want to live an ordinary life... I... can't be Heroes."

What she was thinking about was during the Finality battle, when she and everyone else were fighting against the Finality, Brother Yu Feng shielded her from a fatal attack from the Finality. If it weren't for Brother Yu Feng, she probably would have...

She... she'll only drag us down... she's probably the least deserving of the title of Flame-Chasers among the Fourteen Schicksal, right?

Zhu Yufeng looked at Pardo. He roughly knew why Pardo would say that. It was because he had changed the trajectory of Pardo's fate, allowing her to survive the war on the moon. And because of this... she would hold a grudge and question her identity Flame-Chasers.

Perhaps in Pardo's eyes, her courage as a mortal became a burden to him as Heroes.

So, what should he say at this point?

He thought for a moment and said, "Heroes have Heroes way of living, and ordinary people have theirs. But there is no clear boundary between them, whether they are Heroes or ordinary people. Heroes can be an ordinary person, and an ordinary person can become Heroes."

"I can't do it, I... I can't be Heroes like you, Brother Yu Feng..." Pardo said, bowing her head.

Zhu Yufeng smiled gently, walked up to Pardo, and patted her head. "When you decide to fight for humanity, are prepared to sacrifice yourself, and go to the moon with us, you will be Heroes."

He was just an ordinary person, and he never considered himself a Heroes. He would raise his sword against the innocent, and he never cared about the joys and sorrows of all living beings. He couldn't save the world like the Heroes in the stories, and he couldn't even save the people around him. What kind of Heroes was he?

"Brother Yu Feng..."

"Of course, I definitely won't force you to do anything. After all, the only person who tried to beat Fire Moth Warrior was Qianjie Jie..." Zhu Yufeng said with a smile. "If you really want to go back to Dusk Street, I won't object. Remember to say hello to Aponia for me. And as for the rest... if I have time, I'll come to Dusk Street to see you."

Elysia: "!"

Why did she feel something was off? Feng was being way too gentle with Phyllis.
