Threatening Elysia

"What in the world happened? Where's the Herrscher? Such a huge Herrscher!" Elysia exclaimed in disbelief.

"What kind of power is that! Who exactly are you!" She looked at the man before her again, realizing he wasn't as ordinary as he usually appeared.

That's right, Elysia recalled the time she spent with Yoshikage Kira. She had never seen him flustered or scared before.

He was always so calm.

Even when facing a Herrscher.

Although she believed Yoshikage Kira to be a good person, this power that could instantly kill a Herrscher was still terrifying.

Facing Elysia's questioning, Yoshikage Kira calmly replied:

"It doesn't matter what this power is, what matters is..."

Yoshikage Kira walked up to Elysia and looked down at her, "Miss Elysia, you wouldn't want anyone to know you're a Herrscher, would you?"

Yoshikage Kira's body blocked the neon light, casting a shadow over Elysia.

She could only see Yoshikage Kira's calm eyes and hear his cold words – a secret she didn't want to face, one buried deep within her.

The words she wanted to use to argue were swallowed back by Yoshikage Kira's steady gaze. Elysia tried to stand up, but her legs seemed to lose their strength again.

Seeing Elysia sitting on the ground with her head bowed, Yoshikage Kira crouched down and cupped Elysia's face in his hands.

"Look at me," Yoshikage Kira said sternly.

Elysia shivered, then quickly focused her gaze on the man before her.

"I, Yoshikage Kira, have the greatest goal of pursuing a peaceful life. I believe that 'a life of stability, like a plant, unmoving' is the most beautiful."

"I don't dwell on victory or defeat, I don't get bogged down by worries, and I don't make enemies that keep me up at night."

"However, Honkai stands in the way of my peaceful life."

"So, I must act to end it."

"But I don't want to be exposed to the public."

"So, Elysia, from now on, when I deal with Herrschers, I will give you the credit. You will also cover for me."

"Do you understand?"

After listening to Yoshikage Kira's declaration, Elysia nodded blankly.

"But..."

"You'll know about anything else later," Yoshikage Kira interrupted her.

"What about me being a Herrscher?"

"I'll keep your secret."

[Under your coercion, Elysia agreed to your request]

[After the Honkai incident in Canghai City, Hua, Kevin, Mei, and others joined the Flame Chasers]

[Elysia handed over the Herrscher Core you left behind to the Flame Chasers]

[After 'single-handedly' defeating another Herrscher, Elysia's reputation in the Flame Chasers reached its peak, but this caused dissatisfaction among some high-ranking members]

[At the same time, they raised the level of importance placed on Vill-V by another notch]

[No one discovered your existence throughout the entire incident, and you were very satisfied with this]

[Thus, the Third Honkai Eruption, triggered by the Herrscher of Thunder, came to an end]

"Considering your relationship with Vill-V, the organization has decided to send you to pick her up from the island."

"Understood." Yoshikage Kira nodded and replied.

"Is that you, Assistant? Wait a moment."

'It must be the Assistant,' Yoshikage Kira thought, seeing Vill-V diligently assembling parts in her hands, and didn't interrupt her.

"Finished!"

"Whoa! Assistant, you finally came to see me! You have no idea how bored I am every day. My magnificent magic can only be performed for monkeys!" the magician persona said.

Seeing Vill-V run up to him to complain, he smiled helplessly, "Alright, the organization has decided to bring you to the base to work. Pack your things."

"Really! Why so sudden?"

"I see. Did you show them my equipment? I knew it, Assistant, why did you ask Elysia for a set of equipment."

Yoshikage Kira didn't deny it as he looked at Vill-V, who had convinced herself.

"Let's just say it was like that."

'Speaking of which, have Vill-V and Pardo met yet?' Yoshikage Kira thought while helping Vill-V pack.
