Izumo's Coordinates

Welt, who was still grateful to Himeko after hearing the first half of her sentence, suddenly changed his expression after hearing the second half of the sentence.

Chatting and such can come later.

This coffee is really undrinkable!

"No need to trouble you, Himeko. You go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of them."

"Yes, Himeko. Himeko, there's no need for that. We'll just sit for a bit and then leave!"

Kiana, recalling the magical coffee, sided with Welt.

"Okay, then."

Himeko walked away with a slight hint of regret.

Both Welt and Kiana breathed a sigh of relief after Himeko gave up; no one wanted to suffer.

Himeko walked away for a moment, Welt then turned his attention back to the two girls in front of him.

To be precise, it's Kiana.

Raiden Mei beside her didn't seem like someone easy to approach, and there was even a hint of apprehension about her.

"Hello, welcome to the Stellaris Train."

Welt greeted him politely first, and then got straight to the point. "I'm Welt Yang. You... know Sirin, right?"

Yes, Sirin.

He remembered his last meeting with Sirin kept asking him questions about Kiana.

He was very confused before.

Now that he had seen Kiana, Welt suddenly understood why Sirin had kept asking him about the situation of Kiana and Raiden Mei.

"Sirin?"

Yomi frowned slightly. When did Sirin get involved with the Nameless Ones on the Stellaris Train?

Is it in a personal capacity or in the Ark?

And then there's this Nameless Ones in front of me.

None of them mentioned Sirin. How did he find out that he and Kiana knew that Sirin?

"You must all be from the same place?"

If he was only 30% sure before, after seeing Yomi's reaction, Welt already had the answer in his mind.

Yomi stared at Welt, then glanced at the silent Kiana, and after a moment of silence said, "It is true that she and I come from the same world, but I wonder how Mr. Welt determined that?"

Don't tell anyone what Sirin said.

Leaving aside Sirin's attitude towards strangers.

The man in front of me is called Welt, and he looks like Welt. Sirin, who has a strong prejudice against Welt, would definitely not give him a friendly look.

"I'm not sure, it's just my guess."

I'm not sure, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

If not, then he should apologize.

We can eliminate one more option.

"That Miss Sirin told me that a disaster called Honkai has occurred in your world, is that right?"

"... Sirin told you this?"

Yomi couldn't help but frown once again.

It's not that I can't say it.

Instead... Sirin will discuss with a similar individual to Welt what happened in Izumo?

Is this reasonable?

Could it be that with Mr. Welt's death, she has finally let go of her long-standing prejudice against Mr. Welt?

This isn't like Sirin.

Even if it had put it down, it wouldn't have reacted like that. Sirin is quite arrogant.

"About half a year ago, I met her here, at the Herta Space Station, and we had a brief encounter."

Welt explained.

"No, what I meant was that, given her personality, it's unlikely she'd communicate with you in a normal, casual way."

Everything else about Sirin is fine.

But when it came to Mr. Welt, the prejudice was not just something that could be seen by anyone with eyes; it was prejudice that was almost overflowing.

She found it difficult to clarify the rights and wrongs of the matter.

"... She didn't really like me, but she shared some information with me."

Welt remained silent for a while, confirming that his previous guess was correct. Even if she wasn't the Second Herrscher, Miss Sirin and his counterpart hadn't been able to establish a good relationship.

"You may not know, but my hometown also experienced a period of Honkai."

Yomi, who was still wondering if Sirin had changed her personality, was stunned. He never expected to hear about Honkai from other people.

His hometown also experienced Honkai?

Yomi subconsciously looked at Kiana.

She had occasionally visited worlds with similar individuals, but those worlds had not Honkai, and she had never even heard of them.

"As you should know, Honkai energy doesn't exist in any world other than our home planet. I came to this universe by accident and traveled to many worlds on the train, but Honkai... I've never even heard of it."

Yomi Quan nodded, agreeing with Welt's statement that the Honkai did not exist in other worlds.

Even the Honkai of Izumo was caused by Kiana. Before Kiana made her decision, Izumo only had Kishin, not Honkai.

"You should be aware of the danger of Honkai. On the path of fighting against Honkai, humanity..."

"Please wait, Mr. Welt."

Upon hearing this, Yomi suddenly interrupted him, "You mean to say that your world has been fighting against the Honkai?"

"Certainly."

Welt said with a solemn expression, "From ancient times to the present, we have always been fighting against the Honkai. In order to defeat the Honkai, we have given everything. The last era was even destroyed because of it."

To be honest, if Kiana's final plan hadn't failed, Yomi wouldn't have been afraid of the Honkai energy.

For them.

Kishin and spirits, and nothingness, are the true enemies.

But the man in front of me is different.

His homeland was free from the torment of nothingness, so what he fought against... was Honkai.

Yomi looked at Kiana again.

Could Kiana be connected to a civilized world that has been constantly fighting against the Honkai?

No, if there were any connection, then Mr. Welt should have been able to recognize him.

Kiana, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, stroked her chin and finally spoke up, "Is it possible that the 'Honkai' we're talking about, although it has the same name and similar abilities, is actually not the same thing at all?"

Aren't they the same thing?

Yomi suddenly realized.

It seems not impossible that similar individuals would share similar fates and calamities.

It can only be said that there are too many coincidences in the universe.

"I don't think it's that much of a coincidence."

Welt felt that this possibility was very small, extremely small; it was all the same as Honkai, and there were still beings called Herrscher.

How can they not be the same thing?

Although he hasn't found Earth's coordinates yet, there's no doubt that they all belong to this world.

Chapter Ninety-One: The Coordinates of Izumo.

It's just such a coincidence.

Because my Honkai is likely from Honkai Impact 2, and we don't share the same worldview.

Kiana was secretly criticizing them.

"What exactly is Mr. Welt trying to say?"

Yomi is more inclined to believe Kiana.

"... Miss Sirin said that you are facing not only the Honkai, but also the Aeon of Nihility."

"She even told you this?"

Kiana was genuinely surprised this time; everything Welt had said before was within her acceptable range.

But she really didn't expect it.

Sirin actually said this to Welt.

Didn't she take her anger out on Welt?

This isn't like Sirin at all; she didn't even give him the cold shoulder.

"She mentioned it."

After returning home, Welt repeatedly pondered what Sirin had said, and one point in particular puzzled him.

"Since your world has already been affected by the Aeon of Nihility, why is it still experiencing Honkai?"

Is the Honkai 3rd related to a certain Aeon?

Did Honkai energy appear in their world first, or was it first targeted by the Void?

Being influenced by the Aeon means their star system wasn't blocked. So when did the Honkai begin?

What caused this?

Welt wanted to know the answers to all these questions.

"This is none of your business."

Of course, Yomi couldn't tell Welt that the Honkai of Izumo was caused by Kiana in order to fight against the Aeon.

She suppressed the urge to see Kiana, pondering what Welt had just said.

"My hometown has now survived the crisis of Honkai, and perhaps I can offer you some advice."

"This makes no sense."

Yomi said, "Our affairs are none of your business. The Honkai... we will handle it ourselves."

Welt frowned; Yomi's attitude made him feel uneasy, so he looked at Kiana.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have already become the 'Herrscher of Finality', right?"

"The Herrscher of Finality?"

Kiana touched her chin and denied, "I'm not a true Herrscher of Finality yet."

"In my homeland, there are people similar to you. Their names are the same as yours; one is the Herrscher of Finality, and the other is the Herrscher of Origin."

"Our lives may have some similarities, but if you really look into them, they are completely different."

Yomi said, "What we are fighting with all our might is not the Honkai, but the evil spirits called Kishin, and that pitch -Black Sun."

"So you understand now, Mr. Welt? It's completely pointless to discuss our affairs using your preconceived notions."

Welt remained silent for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I was too hasty."

Indeed, he should first find out what happened in their world and whether Honkai energy was the same as that in their world.
