The Honkai Is Still Chasing Me! / As Close as Two Peas in a Pod

That smile...

In the photo, Raiden Mei has a slightly helpless smile on her face, looking in the direction the camera is shooting, with very gentle eyes.

This guy... he's not bad-tempered, but he's never shown this kind of expression to anyone else.

Kiana.

Yes, this photo must have been taken by Kiana. Raiden Mei only ever shows that kind of expression when she's facing Kiana!

The thought of that name made Sirin's breathing quicken, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.

Why did Kiana's photo appear on the Interastral Peace Corporation's missing person reward list?

She closed her eyes and recalled the scene, confirming that Kiana didn't know anyone better. If the photo was indeed taken by Kiana, it could only have been in the hands of Kiana and Raiden Mei.

There can't be a third person.

So...

She used the woman next to her terminal to send the message to her own, then turned and walked towards the resting area with her terminal in hand.

I will handle this.

No normal person would offer a reward for themselves, let alone one that is not a small amount.

Therefore, there is only one answer left.

Kiana...

She is actually still alive, and has already left Izumo; she is now somewhere in the universe!

"They're only looking for Raiden Mei?"

As Sirin looked at the bounty, the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She decided to use fake news to trick the person who posted the bounty into revealing their name at the company.

This wasn't difficult for her.

Once she confirmed the name of the person who issued the bounty with the company, she would know whether or not Kiana was the one who issued the bounty.

Filled with long-lost excitement, she quickened her pace, but after only a few steps, she spotted a 'familiar face' in the Herta Space Station.

Sirin initially thought it was a hallucination.

However, after taking a few more glances and seeing the other person talking to someone, I realized that I wasn't hallucinating.

The path that was originally meant to turn back was abruptly changed, and they walked towards the figure that resembled an acquaintance.

"Welt?"

Chapter 50: The Honkai Is Still Chasing Me!

Because I wasn't entirely sure, I used a questioning tone.

Sirin clearly remembered that Welt chose to stay in Izumo; he had most likely already joined the others, along with Izumo itself...

But this person looks too much like him.

The man who resembled Welt turned around, and upon seeing her, he visibly froze for a moment before gripping the scepter in his hand tightly.

"The Herrscher of the Void?"

To be honest, they don't actually look exactly the same. As for their demeanor, you can tell at a glance that the person in front of you is completely different from the Second Herrscher you've ever seen before.

I won't mistake anyone I've seen before.

If the other party calls out his name without speaking, Welt will only regard her as Second Herrscher counterpart like Himeko and will not mistake her for someone else.

"... Are you out of your mind? I wouldn't mind becoming Herrscher, but do I even have the chance?"

The Herrscher's power is not weak, but they are also strong because they have been dealing with demons and Kishin all the time. In addition, there is Kiana, who is the natural counter to Honkai Beast. Whenever the Herrscher appear, they are targeted and attacked by them shortly after.

Thanks to Kiana's help, they didn't actually lose too many manpower in dealing with the Herrscher.

However, the guy in front of them, who resembled Welt, tacitly accepted the name Welt.

I also know about the Herrscher.

The chances of the other person being the Welt I know are fifty-fifty.

She eyed the man suspiciously, the man who made her feel uneasy just by looking at him; Welt was also eyeing her.

Judging from her words, this person who appears to be the Herrscher of the Void is not the Herrscher of the Void he knows.

That makes sense.

He knew that the Herrscher of the Void was already dead, and that the core and power of the Herrscher of the Void were now in the hands of Kiana Kaslana.

But wouldn't mind becoming Herrscher?

Honkai?

Does the world of this 'Sirin' also experience a catastrophe called Honkai?

Isn't this place Honkai?

After arriving in the Galactic Universe, Welt joined the Stellaris Train. During his travels, he gathered intelligence everywhere. There were only Aeon and Destiny here, and he had never heard of the Honkai.

What are you doing here?

Somewhat wary of Sirin, who is suspected to be a counterpart of the Second Herrscher, but also wanting to obtain information about her and related to the Honkai, Welt decided to talk to her to see if he could get any information out of her.

Although Earth has survived the crisis, they still don't know enough about the Honkai.

There is also Honkai in places outside the solar system.

This was enough to attract his attention.

"Of course, it's about negotiating cooperation with Herta."

Sirin squinted, carefully scrutinizing the guy who looked just like Welt, the one she knew, a guy who made her feel very uncomfortable just by looking at him.

It's confirmed; this guy isn't someone she knows, not the Welt she's familiar with.

She wouldn't mistake someone for someone else.

But the Herrscher of the Void?

The fact that he could immediately utter the name of the Herrscher after seeing himself suggests that he must have witnessed the Honkai. However, Sirin had never heard of the Honkai in any other part of the universe.

Forget about finding any trace of them, after making numerous inquiries, we couldn't even find a name that sounded similar.

Could it be... that he's from Kiana's hometown?

Kiana rarely mentions her hometown, only saying that it is a past she can never return to.

Kiana brought about the Honkai 3rd to Izumo.

If there are other places where Honkai will occur, then this place must be Kiana's hometown.

Do you know where Kiana went?

She pretended not to recognize Welt's identity and casually mentioned Kiana's name in front of him.

Welt glanced at her in surprise.

Even though she already knew that this Sirin was not the Herrscher of the Void she knew, she still felt a strange sensation when she heard her talk about Kiana.

This guy knows Kiana.

Is it the same person, or just similar?

Welt adjusted his glasses, and, wanting to know as well, asked in return, "You don't know?"

With Sirin, the Honkai, and even Kiana, could that world be similar to my own?

Hearing Welt's question, Sirin looked at him, who was trying to get something for nothing, and said with some impatience, "If I knew, would I need to ask you?"

Tsk, no matter which Welt it is, they're all equally annoying.

They look so alike.

Sirin seamlessly transferred her dissatisfaction with Welt onto the man in front of her.

Welt, who was quite old, felt helpless. He adjusted his glasses and thought that no matter which Sirin was, they were all equally rude.

Nobody wants to be taken advantage of.

Neither of them wanted to reveal information about their own world first, so the two, one disliking the other and the other wary of the other, remained deadlocked.

"Mr. Welt, and Miss Sirin? You..."

Just then Asta and Himeko walked over. This Himeko. Himeko was the navigator of the Stellaris Train, neither the Himeko from Izumo nor the Murata Himeko Honkai Impact 3rd world.

"Miss Asta?"

Sirin greeted her and also noticed Himeko beside her. Sirin was slightly taken aback when she saw Himeko.

This slight moment of distraction was completely observed by Welt, who had been watching her closely.

It seems that Himeko still exists in her world.

The similarity has increased again.

"... And who is this?"

"Hello, I'm the navigator of the Stellaris Train. Call me Himeko."

The elegant and intellectual Himeko. Himeko smiled and spoke to her in a friendly manner.

"Stellaris Train?"

Sirin turned to look at Welt, pondered for a moment, and her desire to obtain information took over.

"I never expected to run into Nameless Ones from the Stellaris Train at the Herta Space Station. My name is Sirin. I don't follow any Aeon, nor do I belong to any faction."

"You come from the same world?"

Sirin asked Himeko about Welt.

"No, let's talk alone."

Welt shook his head. He could only be thankful that Void Archives had gotten off the train some time ago and was no longer on the Stellaris Train.

Unexpectedly, a simple resupply trip to the Herta Space Station would lead to meeting an 'old acquaintance' here.

Honkai...

Welt was quite happy to learn that the galactic universe had not Honkai. Although going home had become a problem, the new world without Honkai seemed good no matter how you looked at it.

And now, another Honkai has occurred.

Upon hearing the news of the Honkai, Welt felt as if he had been transported to another world, and he also had a bad feeling.

No?

In other words, Himeko comes from another similar world?

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Asta quickly asked, "Have you two met before?"

"I don't know him."

"Know."

Two completely different answers, with absolutely no tacit understanding. The two glanced at each other, then quickly looked away.

Despite his advanced age, Welt didn't argue with the young man. He said maturely, "This Miss Sirin resembles an old friend of mine. Our worlds seem to be connected, so we'd like to have a private chat."

Chapter Fifty-One: They're as good as one person.

"You know Kiana?"

Once they reached a secluded spot, Sirin dropped the pretense and got straight to the point, ready to have a proper chat with this guy who called himself Welt Yang.

Her composure seemed to have remained unchanged after seeing that unpleasant face.

In short, I just don't like people.

I can't even be bothered to pretend.

Welt remained calm, but inwardly he couldn't help but complain about why Sirin was so obsessed with Kiana.
