Chapter 73
Then another voice, which sounded ancient, clear and moving, entered Luo Mio's ears.
"Mio..."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Luo Mio spoke slowly.
"Teacher..."
He stood up and glanced around.
"Am I... inside the Consciousness Space...?"
Luo Mio recalled the scene from before her memory.
After answering the question from the golden, unknown humanoid figure, he fell into a coma.
The last scene shows Touka holding himself and looking at him with concern.
Luo Mio scratched her head and said with a wry smile.
"I'm really a professional coma sufferer... I fall into a coma every one or two days."
Then, with a slightly complicated look in his eyes, he looked at Fu Hua, who was dressed in a fairy-like crimson and pure white robes.
"Teacher..."
At this moment, "The Finality Luo Mio" saw what Luo Mio was thinking, narrowed her eyes, and raised the corners of her mouth in a malicious smile as she spoke.
"Phone—Utilities—Next to Settings—Pic...cough cough—Study Tools"
"It even comes with a cover?~"
After she finished speaking, colorful mist appeared in "The Finality Luo Mio's " hand.
A pattern that can be faintly seen through the mist...
The pink pattern... a little girl with an expression that seems to reveal innocence and curiosity.
"!"
"Damn it!"
Luo Mio rushed over instantly and shattered the image that was about to fully appear in his hand.
You're not!
"Is this ever going to end?!"
Luo Mio shouted at him angrily.
Faced with Luo Mio's roar, "The Finality Luo Mio" turned her head away.
"I just saw you were unhappy, so I was trying to cheer you up and help you relax."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio's expression relaxed, and she gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"This isn't how you release your emotions."
"But..."
Luo Mio smiled at him.
Thank you.
Luo Mio looked at "Finality Luo Mio" who had turned her head away and spoke slowly.
"Actually, I know a few things now."
"The Finality Luo Mio" blinked.
Why did you and your Honkai Personality come into being within my soul and body?
"Oh?"
"The essence of the 'Herrscher of Finality' is to restart the world and destroy civilization."
"And I..."
Luo Mio paused.
"And I am the essential being that filters and judges the world..."
"... yet my human nature has made me a 'judge' who must be absolutely rational."
Luo Mio said with a bitter smile on her face.
"How cunning, isn't it?"
"But..."
At this moment, Fu Hua, who had been quietly listening to Luo Mio's words, spoke up.
"Perhaps it's precisely because of Mio's humanity that you became the 'referee'?"
After hearing Fu Hua's words, Luo Mio recalled the conversation before she fell into a coma.
(There are still beautiful things in this world that I cherish...)
"Perhaps... so be it..."
"The Finality Luo Mio" interrupted their conversation as if she couldn't stand the atmosphere.
"Shouldn't you be more concerned about the long-term effects now?"
"Aftereffects?"
Luo Mio looked at him, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, haven't you noticed your hair?"
A mirror appeared in the hand of "The Finality Luo Mio".
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio belatedly realized what was happening and looked in the mirror.
"Huh?"
White...
Pure white hair...
Luo Mio was shocked to see this scene.
"Charge" is a special attack by Chinese people.
Her original gray hair color turned into a flawless pure white hair color.
"It's probably because of your Half-Finalized this time, which left behind some characteristics of the Finality."
Looking at herself in the mirror, resembling a white-haired demon, Luo Mio suddenly felt puzzled.
"How can this be considered a side effect?"
"The Finality Luo Mio" guessed what he was thinking and rolled her eyes.
You're talking about yourself (your soul), but I'm talking about your body (the Character Carrier).
"Huh?"
"Due to the Finality Transformation, your Character Carrier has also been affected to some extent."
Luo Mio opened her mouth slightly.
"You mean, my body is now covered in white hair too?"
"Right"
"Hiss..."
I gasped.
Fu Hua smiled and said to Luo Mio as she saw this scene.
"Alright, Mio."
"It's time to go back; they're still worried."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio understood Fu Hua's meaning.
"... Um."
"Um..."
Luo Mio's soul returned to her body...
He then struggled to open his eyes, and the extreme weakness in his body made him prop himself up as if it were a heavy weight, and sit on the bed.
"Little Mio...!"
Outside the door,
With the movements Luo Mio made on the bed.
The door was opened with a whoosh.
Saikyo Neine looked at the white-haired Luo Mio with worry and unease in her eyes.
After seeing her eyes, Luo Mio guessed what she was thinking.
A smile appeared on his face as he jokingly scolded.
"Knowing how difficult it is for me to get up, why didn't you come in sooner..."
"... stinky old hag."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's familiar tone, Saikyo Neine's small mouth opened slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She blinked, her eyelashes wet with tears, tiny teardrops clinging to them.
"You brat!"
Saikyo Neine immediately came to his side and hit him on the head.
Luo Mio chuckled as she felt the moderate blow from Saikyo Neine.
Immediately, Saikyo Neine opened her clenched fist, vigorously rubbed his head, and said with a smile through her tears.
Don't you know how to respect the elderly and care for the young?
Seeing Saikyo Neine's tearful smile, with tears still clinging to her eyes, Luo Mio's eyes also welled up with tears.
"Then tell me, given your age and appearance, should I respect you or love you?"
"You brat!"
Warm laughter and playful chatter drifted from the room.
Small theater...
In the Pacific Abyss...
Benares was bound by the enormous tail of one of the giant beasts.
"..."
A stern interrogation.
Why did they leak it? Why did they leak it? Why did they leak it?
I gave permission? I gave permission?...
As the number one behemoth and the leader, it kept sending messages into Benares's mind...
After struggling for half a day, I finally managed to utter a sentence...
"Can you fly?" (Subtext: I can fly.)
An invisible hash symbol appeared above the giant beast's head.
