Flame Chasers

"You..."

"It's Elysia~ That's my name, isn't it pretty? I came up with it myself!"

"Then, Miss Elysia, aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?" Yoshikage Kira said to the girl behind him.

"Hehehe~ Elysia's radar tells me you're not a bad person~"

Why does everyone slap the 'good person' label on me. Yoshikage Kira thought, leading Elysia into the already-started magic show venue.

Suddenly, Yoshikage Kira felt a chill down his spine. He looked towards the stage and saw Vill-V staring intently at him.

Yoshikage Kira didn't look away either, staring right back at Vill-V.

A moment later, Vill-V broke eye contact and continued her magic performance.

"Oh dear, it seems I've caused you trouble. I'm so sorry," Elysia said, scratching her head.

"It's fine, she'll figure it out herself," Yoshikage Kira said dismissively.

"No, no, girls need to be cherished. I think you should try to appease her later," Elysia said, walking up to Yoshikage Kira. She leaned forward slightly, extending her right index finger to lecture him.

"I think you'd be more effective if you said less," Yoshikage Kira said helplessly, feeling the gaze from the stage intensify.

Elysia stuck out her tongue and turned to find a seat.

After the magic show, Yoshikage Kira looked at Vill-V as she walked off stage and calmly asked, "What do you want to eat today?"

"..."

Vill-V stood with her back to Yoshikage Kira, not saying a word.

I think you should try to appease her later. Elysia's words echoed in Yoshikage Kira's mind.

"She said she wanted to see a magic show, so I brought her. Don't be jealous."

"Who! Who's jealous! I'm just unhappy you're late today!" Vill-V turned around, her face flushed, stamping her foot in agitation.

"Okay, I understand. So, what do you want to eat today?"

"Hmph, you figure it out yourself." Seeing Yoshikage Kira's perfunctory attitude, Vill-V turned away again, as if sulking.

Yoshikage Kira shook his head and followed her.

After the little farce, Vill-V began her plan for the Flame Chasers today.

"Same as always, I'll infiltrate, and you'll provide support from the outside," Vill-V instructed Yoshikage Kira as she put on her gear.

"Mhm," Yoshikage Kira nodded and connected to the camera on the equipment.

"Alright, operation commence!"

Yoshikage Kira watched on the monitor as Vill-V infiltrated smoothly, as usual. But he knew that in this operation, that woman would make a move.

"Quack, what's going on! Why can't I block it!"

When Vill-V snapped back to reality, she was already fighting Elysia.

"She's not my assistant, help!"

If you had to say where it was safest after the Honkai outbreak, it would definitely be the Flame Chasers' base.

As long as I don't expose my abilities and act like an ordinary soldier, I won't attract attention.

Then there was only one answer.

"Miss Elysia, we wish to apply to join the Flame Chasers."

"?"

Vill-V and Elysia stared blankly at Yoshikage Kira, who had suddenly appeared.

"Assistant, what are you talking about! Quickly use your invincible abilities to think of a solution!"

Ignoring Vill-V, who was tied up beside him, Yoshikage Kira repeated his earlier words:

"Miss Elysia, we wish to apply to join the Flame Chasers."

"Mhm~ Then it might be difficult for me to explain on my end," Elysia said, pondering for a moment, a troubled expression on her cute face.

Seeing the troubled Elysia before him, Yoshikage Kira was unfazed. As a despicable transmigrator, he knew Elysia would definitely absorb Vill-V into the Flame Chasers.

"With Vill-V's talent, I believe the Flame Chasers won't suffer a loss. Vill-V's technology already far surpasses the Flame Chasers, doesn't it?"

"Mhm, it does seem that way. And I'd also like to become friends with Miss Vill-V."

"Alright, then the understanding Elysia agrees to your request."

"Hey! What are you two talking about! I haven't agreed yet!" Vill-V, still tied up, yelled loudly.

Vill-V still believed the Flame Chasers were an evil organization, but after Elysia revealed the truth about them, she became compliant.

Once she knew the Flame Chasers were an organization fighting against the Honkai, Vill-V also agreed to their suggestion to join.

"Oh, right, there's also someone named Pardo who will be joining."

"Huh? Pardo?"

"She's also a cute girl."

"Mm! Alright, I'll report it as soon as possible."

Pardo, who was still at home petting her cat at this moment, had no idea she had already been roped into this.

"Hey! Assistant, you didn't already know the true nature of the Flame Chasers, did you?"

"Mm... pretty much."

"Ahhhhhh! Dammit, dammit, dammit! I'm not talking to you anymore!" Seeing the angry girl in front of him, Yoshikage Kira smiled and shook his head, remaining silent.

"Hey, I'm angry."

"Mm, I know."

"Then hurry up and appease me!"

"Appeasing you."

"You! You!" Vill-V pointed at Yoshikage Kira, utterly amused by his response.

A few days later, Elysia contacted Yoshikage Kira, informing him that the organization had approved his application.

Putting down his phone, he looked at Pardo, who was playing with a cat in front of him, and said, "Pardo, it's time to go."

"Huh? Go where, Boss?"

"To the Flame Chasers."
