This made Beichen rather curious.
What exactly was Seele thinking right now?
At Cocolia's orphanage, Seele tightly clung to Bronya's hand, refusing to let go.
At the orphanage entrance, the Arlene Sisters, who had just returned from playing outside, froze on the spot.
"Eh, eh, eh—what... what's going on? Lilia, what do you think?"
"I don't know. Also... idiot Rosalia, you're hurting me."
With their faces pressed together and their hands clasped tightly, the two stood there trembling like third wheels.
Seele, who had shocked them so badly, was trembling slightly as well.
Her soft hair gently brushed against Bronya's chin.
"Seele... what's wrong?"
Bronya's chin felt a little itchy, but Seele was holding on so tightly that it was difficult for her to move at all...
"Bronya, will you... leave Seele someday?"
As Seele spoke, she slowly raised her head and looked at Bronya with those pure, unblemished eyes.
Their gazes met, and at that moment, time itself seemed to stop.
"What silly thing are you saying? Bronya won't leave Seele. I promise."
As Bronya spoke, she placed her hand over Seele's. "Even if that day really comes, Bronya will definitely find Seele."
"Bronya!"
Seele buried her head in Bronya's embrace, and the fear in her heart gradually subsided.
That was right. No matter where she went, Bronya would find Seele!
So it was okay to be apart for just a little while...
The girl nestled in her sister's arms, quietly thinking.
"Mm, thank you for the reminder, Mr. Streamer."
A blue comment drifted across the Live Stream screen...
That put Beichen somewhat at ease.
At least she could guarantee that her identity would not be exposed. That way, if she ran into the ancestor later, there would not be any unnecessary complications.
Probably not?
Anyway, next was my turn to shine.
Beichen opened the daily stage interface and cleared a few Exorcism Quests.
After finishing all that, he slowly said to the viewers in the Live Stream:
"Alright, that's all for today. Tomorrow, I'll be streaming Chapters Six and Seven of the main story. I'll probably do it in the morning. If any of you don't have time to watch, I can postpone it. Does anyone need that?"
As soon as Beichen finished speaking, a blue comment drifted across the screen first.
"It's fine, I'm free anytime!"
Seele was the first to agree.
"What a coincidence. I'm free too."
Right after that, Otto also sent a comment to express his agreement.
After those two comments passed by, however, a third comment failed to appear for quite some time.
Beichen looked at the names on the viewer list in the Live Stream, fell silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Any objections? If not, then it's settled!"
"The main story?"
After a long wait, a brilliantly white comment finally drifted across the screen.
The person who sent it was none other than—
The World Serpent Lord, who had joined the Live Stream not long ago...
And his question...
Oh, right. Since he had been randomly selected by the system and added midway through, he apparently did not know what the main story was.
"Ahem, let me introduce it to this viewer."
Beichen opened the main story interface, then swiped across the screen, displaying the covers of every chapter released so far.
He then briefly explained what Honkai Impact 3rd was to Kevin.
"That's the basic situation. Any other questions?"
After explaining the basic information, Beichen asked.
However, Kevin's answer left everyone speechless...
"I only have one question. Who are you?"
Damn it, you really don't play by the rules!
When Beichen saw Kevin asking so directly, he cursed the system several times in his heart.
At this point, he could only avoid the issue for now.
"I'm just a streamer doing this out of personal interest, making a little money through streaming."
"I'll be there for tomorrow's stream."
After he said that, the system issued a notification: Viewer "No Matter the Cost, Humanity Will Defeat Honkai" has left the Live Stream.
He left? Mm... that was good.
Seeing Kevin leave, Beichen breathed a sigh of relief. From that question just now, he could already confirm that this ancestor's timeline was definitely from before Bronya arrived in the Sea of Quanta.
Otherwise, he could not possibly have been surprised by Tlaloc's death.
There was even a strong possibility that this was during the thousand-odd years he had been trapped in the Sea of Quanta?
If that was the case, there should... be no problem, right?
With that question in mind, Beichen gave the viewers one last farewell before slowly closing the Live Stream...
Within the Sea of Quanta, Kevin slowly descended onto the shattered ground.
"The Herrscher of Reason..."
As far as that livestream just now was concerned, what Kevin cared about most was not Tlaloc's death.
Losing one minion was no great loss. Compared to that, the Herrscher was naturally more worthy of attention...
Would this Herrscher of Reason be easier to communicate with than the last one?
With that question in mind, Kevin slowly turned his gaze toward the blue-eyed girl before him.
"You're the Serpent?... You created this World Bubble!"
The girl's voice was filled with surprise.
"Seele, get away from that person!"
Before Kevin could say what he wanted to say, the roar of a motorcycle rang out from nearby...
Fairy Miss: Our Kevin Is a Bright and Cheerful Boy
The sudden sound made Kevin and Seele both turn their gazes toward Bronya, who had appeared in this strange space.
The two sides silently watched each other.
Though the battle had yet to begin, their eyes were already filled with fighting spirit.
The atmosphere gradually grew tense...
However, just as Bronya was quietly listening to Welt's warning...
"You're Bronya?"
Kevin directly called her by name.
The moment those words were spoken, Yang, who had been explaining this person's danger to Bronya, stopped talking.
Had he met Bronya before?
"Bronya, you know the Serpent?"
"No, this is also Bronya's first time seeing him."
"Then why... did he call you by name?"
The two acting Herrschers, one old and one young, fell silent.
And while these two children, at least in Kevin's eyes, were left speechless, Kevin had already turned around and slowly given Seele his answer.
"That is my memory, a promise I failed to fulfill. Memories with my companions, the will entrusted to me, the future everyone had hoped for."
"They surface before my eyes day after day like illusions, only to fade into nothingness again."
"As if they are reminding me over and over that humanity was once exterminated by Honkai."
The World Serpent Lord, the Hero of the Previous Era, the man destined to bear the Sign of Salvation, glanced sideways at the girl.
"You can understand what I carry, can't you?"
However, before Seele could answer...
Bronya created several floating cannons and aimed them at Kevin.
"Bronya doesn't know what you're trying to say, but I hope you can return Seele to me."
"She is your companion, a warrior who fights against Honkai. As a predecessor, I have no reason to prevent her from reuniting with you."
After saying that, Kevin even pointed at Bronya. The meaning was rather clear: she could reunite with her sister now...
After receiving Kevin's permission, Seele cautiously moved behind Bronya.
Such generosity made it seem as though the World Serpent Lord... might be a good person?
"Don't be fooled by his actions, Bronya," Welt hurriedly warned from within the Herrscher Core. "This person is extremely dangerous!"
"Mm, don't worry. Bronya just... has some questions."
After replying to Welt in her heart, Bronya raised her head and looked at the "Serpent."
Their eyes met. Though the two sides were still on guard against each other, the atmosphere was more relaxed than before.
"Why do you know Bronya? Did you learn it from Seele?"
"That question isn't important."
Faced with Bronya's questioning, Kevin merely shook his head.
He had no intention of continuing with a long explanation, because few people would believe such an absurd event.
Rather than waste time explaining and make the other party even more wary,
It was wiser to make the invitation directly.
"I know your conviction. I witnessed your battle with Tlaloc."
Kevin looked into the eyes of the Herrscher of Reason and extended his invitation once more.
"World Serpent needs people like you—Herrschers who fight for humanity."
"Why? Because Bronya is a Herrscher?"
An invitation from the World Serpent Lord was basically the same as being personally recruited by the boss. If it were an ordinary person, even if they refused, they would at least ask about the pay and benefits.
