Firefly

The light enveloped Kafka, sweeping away the stains on her body and leaving her clean once more.

Kafka blinked, looking surprised but saying nothing. She simply watched Sera awaiting further instructions, remaining kneeling on one knee.

"Get up, do you have anything to pack?"

Sera reached out and helped Kafka up, glancing at his phone before asking a question.

"No."

"Then grab me and let's go."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kafka reached out and grabbed Sera's hand without hesitation, Sera teleported Kafka onto the ship.

"You're back, meow?"

Elio sat upright on the sofa, licking his paws.

Kafka opened her eyes and looked curiously towards the source of the sound, only to see a black cat. A hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful pupils.

"This is...?"

"Elio, the Destiny's Slave, is considered the combat commander of the Stellaron Hunters. Of course, in your familiar terms, you can call him..."

Elio raised his head, his azure eyes meeting Kafka's, and a gold more dazzling than gold itself shone into his eyes.

"The Emanator the Finality ', a wisp of the divine body of the Terminus."

Fate, like countless shooting stars streaking across the sky, revealed countless possibilities, all leading to the "Finality." But Kafka blinked, somewhat confused.

Kafka hadn't seen Sera in any of the timelines, but her hunter's instincts made her instantly realize that she had hit the jackpot in this timeline compared to the others.

"What you want, I'll give it to you right now."

Sera had no intention of making empty promises; he trusted Kafka, and since they were now companions, helping each other was only natural.

Rewriting status is a piece of cake for Sera. A mere Path disease, a mere lack of fear, a mere wolf... cough, Sera can rewrite them with a flick of her wrist.

lD: Kafka

Remove the entry: [The one without fear].

Finish.

A sudden lightness washed over her, as if a lock had been opened. Kafka had never felt so good before, but it wasn't over yet—as part of the ritual to join the Stellaron Hunters, she was about to officially embark on the Path to "the Finality"!

Elio didn't speak, but instead placed a piece of paper in front of Kafka. It was written by it while Sera was out, as Kafka's beginner's quest.

[Elio's script]

Kafka picked up the paper, her gaze fixed on the line of text.

"This is your beginner quest script."

Without stopping, Elio leaped lightly into Sera's arms, and Sera instinctively caught Elio.

"..."

Sera was at a loss, but didn't say anything more.

"You should go find the next member, meow."

Elio had his eyes closed and looked quite content, but what he said made Sera break down.

"You're the boss, and I'm the boss?"

I just got back! Are you treating me like a donkey for the production team?!

In Kafka's sight, Sera's beautiful face showed a hint of vulnerability, and her voice was filled with gritted teeth as she spoke to Elio in her arms. But her body betrayed her, picking up another piece of paper and placing Elio aside.

It seems like someone who's all bark and no bite.

Kafka thought this to herself, but her hands didn't stop moving. Her eyes quickly memorized the script, and she walked to the driver's seat as instructed.

"Well..."

After Sera casually entered a string of mysterious numbers, she vanished into data and reappeared as a scorched wasteland. The land was still engulfed in war, with the remains of True Sting piled up like mountains, and the devastated earth bearing gruesome wounds.

Sera's gaze swept across the scene, where the wrecked remains of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry lay scattered on the ground. Sera fell silent for a moment. The sounds of fighting came from afar, and looking up, she saw an insect that could practically blot out the sky.

Its name came to Sera's mind—the giant queen beetle.

But Sera made no move, for it was dying. A cavalry about to be devoured detonated a bomb powerful enough to the Destruction a planet.

"For... Her Majesty the Empress!"

She retreated, flashing into the stars. Sera looked calmly at the planet shattered by gunpowder, for it had been completely destroyed by the pollution of the Propagation and was beyond saving.

Sera could certainly solve the problem, but he came to recruit Firefly, and Firefly were the only ones left with any vital signs. The rest, including this planet, were insects.

A 'firefly' drifted among the stars; it was the Firefly that had just destroyed the planet.

Wearing a tattered silver-white combat suit, Firefly lay unconscious in the starry sky with her eyes closed. Sera smiled thoughtfully.

"Should I say, in this scene, that I saw a firefly in the starry sky?"

His figure transformed into a streak of light and appeared beside Firefly, gently picking up the girl. "She's quite big," Sera thought, watching her as she gently carried her to a nearby planet in an unnamed star system with a fairly pleasant environment.

Sera looked around in slight surprise. It was nighttime, and fireflies twinkled all around. Sera seemed to understand something. After silently healing the Firefly ' injuries so they could wake up sooner, she retreated to a secluded spot and hid herself.

Firefly woke up quickly. Her empty eyes stared at her surroundings, only to find that she was in a completely unfamiliar place.

The fireflies that glowed in the starry sky were attracted to her and fluttered around her.

The Firefly ignored them, simply straightening herself up. She didn't feel her injuries, but she didn't care. She just watched the fireflies fly into the distance, unsure of where she should go, or where her own destination lay.

She murmured softly, as if she were hallucinating.

Why... did he/she die?

Why... live?

The sound, like Firefly shattering, echoed with an overwhelming sense of bewilderment beneath the starry sky. The Corruption caused by Entropy Loss Syndrome appeared on her neck and continued to climb upwards.

She didn't pay attention, but looked up at the starry sky, tears streaming down her face.

"But... Glamoth... no longer exists..."

"I dreamt of a scorched earth, and a new bud breaking through the soil."

It blooms in the morning sun, whispering secrets to me.

Like fireflies drawn to a flame, they face death to live.

The armor of the cavalry automatically covered her body, and... blossomed in colors unique to a young girl!

Firefly deactivated her armor, her eyes were no longer empty, and she gripped the transformation device tightly in her hand. She broke through the gloom in her heart, and she was going to fight for herself—until everything was burned to ashes!

"Hmm, not bad."

After reviewing the recording, Sera nodded in satisfaction. The moment when Firefly truly found herself was definitely worth recording.
