When Rin found Bronya and Xier by asking for directions from employees along the way, she found that the two of them were on the rooftop of the rest area. Xier looked at the starry sky outside the window with a sad face, and Bronny

Ya seems to have been persuading her.

Rin did not intend to come forward, and hid in the corner to secretly observe the situation of the two people. Bronya continued to comfort Xi'er, hoping to cheer her up, but Xi'er remained unmoved.

move.

"By the way, what happened to you today? You are not like you normally, Xi'er. Besides, even I am not sure that I can beat Rin in the singles simulation training. Your performance is already very good, so...

do not be sad."

After about a minute or two, Xier slowly spoke:

"I'm not sad, it's just... I'm thinking about something. If I can get my own power back, I can protect Jack, instead of fighting with your lieutenant like this now."

Bronya knew something about Xi'er. Twelve years ago, after experiencing many battles, Xi'er also left the earth for Bronya and came to the moon's observatory to search for Bu.

Lonya.

Xier likes Bronya very much. For Bronya who regards her as her only relative, she not only looks forward to Bronya, but also has a considerable degree of sisterhood towards Bronya.

However, when the great cataclysm called "Era Collapse" started, the power "Twin Contract" that Xi'er originally possessed also disappeared inexplicably, and she could no longer use her original powerful strength and authority.

In order to protect Xi'er, Bronya also prevented her from participating in the battle to annihilate hundreds of Herrschers. However, this behavior was considered by Xi'er as "Bronya did not believe her."

, the act of "betraying her", so I started to have some prejudices against her.

This battle led to Bronya's disappearance. Although she had been missing for an unknown number of years within the "civilization gap" that occurred, Bronya returned to Destiny alive at the age of "27".

To this day, Xier even complains that Bronya regards her as a "burden" because of this incident, so she treats her very badly.

Although everyone is about to run away from home now, Xi'er will still think of these things occasionally. She wants to prove herself through constant fighting and prove to her that she is no longer the one who "needs her to protect" in the eyes of Bronya's sister.

"Xie'er".

Bronya knows that Xi'er's personality has changed too much now, and she is no longer the sensible and obedient person she used to be. Now, if she says anything wrong to her, she will severely punish her.

Give him a scolding.

This time was no exception. Xier also used her angry attitude to say these words to her sister Bronya:

"Just leave me alone, okay? Your vice-captain is so good and has so much room for growth. I'm just... a little unconvinced."

Bronya, on the other hand, saw what Xi'er was thinking and continued to persuade her:

"Rin can't do everything. Last time I asked him to help me type code, but he couldn't type a word, so... Xi'er, everyone has things they can't do, including you, too.

including me."

However, Rin seemed to have no objection to such a statement. She also remembered that the captain had asked him to help her type the code like crazy after he came back from socializing outside that day.

Occasionally, Bronya will get nervous and tease her teammates to relieve the pressure. This is a very normal thing.

Although she knew that the captain was teasing her, Rin also sympathized with Bronya's hard work and especially taught herself coding for a period of time.

As a result, he still couldn't learn anything. Every time he thought of being forced by the captain to do something he was not good at, he wanted to move out of the dormitory immediately and disappear in front of Bronya and Linqi.

At this time, Xier was still reluctant to let go and expressed her anger to Sister Bronya:

"Type code? Ha? Are you kidding me, Bronya? What about your game dream? You hid from me for two years and ran to open a game company...but you still haven't come back? Is it because you are worried about me? I

You don’t have to worry!”

Xi'er was obviously a little angry. Although according to Bronya, Xi'er did not dare to talk to her like this before, and Xi'er became a destined Valkyrie like herself when she was fifteen or sixteen years old.

.

At that time, Xi'er could be described as a little girl who spoke very softly and had a good temper. When talking to everyone, she kept saying things like "Xie'er understands" and "Xie'er understands", which made everyone happy.

Like her very much.

However, Rin could not imagine that Bronya, who had told him about Captain Seele's past, could the "Sister Seele" in her mouth be the kind of woman who often lost her temper? He couldn't understand this.

"Sorry, Xi'er, please don't mention the past things again, okay?"

"I can't help but mention it! Bronya, the Xier you used to be will never come back! It's you who always acts like a sister and tells me what to do! It makes me sick just thinking about it!

"

"I……"

Seeing that the captain's words to persuade Xi'er had the opposite effect, Rin had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to meet Captain Xi'er alone, so that he could take advantage of his "central air conditioning" to soothe Captain Xi'er's mood.

.

Although he knows that his emotional intelligence sometimes seems to be very "hurry-up". However, if he can try his best to help Captain Xi'er calm down, he will definitely give all his efforts.

Bronya knew that the reason why Xi'er had such a bad attitude towards her now was because she had left her in the past few years. When she left Xi'er and chose to go alone to fight against the Herrschers from the World created by the collapse of the era, Xi'er

He already had a grudge against her.

If she had chosen to let Xi'er, who had lost her "twin contract", fight alongside her, then as expected, Xi'er would never be alive today, let alone talk to her sister like this in front of her.

At this moment, Rin immediately walked out and said to the two of them:

"I'm sorry... I can't listen anymore. Please forgive me, two captains."

Rin looked at Bronya with a confused look on her face, as if she was about to cry. He hurriedly walked out from the corner and walked up to the two of them with a slightly angry expression.

When Xier saw Lin coming here, she immediately pretended that "nothing happened", put away her angry expression, and looked out the window, pretending to look at the stars and the moon.

Although this is true, her acting skills are really worrying.

"Captain, I heard your conversation just now. Please allow me to say a few words. How about it?"

Bronya used her eyes to signal Rin not to mind her own business, but Xier ignored Rin's words and continued to pretend to look out the window.

[Because of what happened to me yesterday... didn't you all have a tacit understanding to laugh at me together? Why, just because of a sparring trial, did you start fighting among yourself? What a big deal!

】

[Even so! Captain...when she goes out to socialize and get drunk, every time she takes the three of us team members to dinner! She will ask if we want to call Captain Xier out to join us...but you never pay attention to Bro

Captain Nia! Got it!】

After Rin's words, Captain Xi'er suddenly couldn't control his inner emotions and began to sob quietly.

Seeing this, Bronya quickly stepped forward to stop Rin from saying what he wanted to say. But Rin couldn't control it at the moment, and kept bringing up Bronya's matters about Captain Seele, telling her everything.

come out.

"That's enough! Rin...stop, stop talking."

I saw that Xier gradually let go of her inner defenses under Lin's verbal attack, began to lie on the railing, and cried loudly.

[Why! Why! If I hadn’t lost my ‘twin contract’, I would have been able to protect Sister Bronya! But now... I can’t even defeat Sister Bronya’s vice-captain! 】

Finally, Xier said everything that was on her mind. Bronya just sighed, pulled Rin aside, and whispered to him in a low voice.

After Bronya told the truth that Xier had always been troubled by "losing her power", Rin realized that the reason why Xier had always had such a bad attitude towards Bronya was because she was afraid that she would become

A burden to my sister, I want to prove my strength again.

Captain Seele may be "stronger" than others. Moreover, she also had to watch Jack almost die trying to protect herself, which made her want to get back what she originally believed in.

The proud power of "Twin Contracts".

When Rin asked about the "twin contract" power that existed in Captain Seele, Bronya told him some information about that power.

It turns out that after Xier was rescued from the Quantum Sea, her body was composed of two parts.

The "surface" called "Xie'er" and the "dark side" called "Fuleai". The two planes of Xie'er share the same body, which will also cause her personality to be different in these two planes.

Switch between.

Before the birth of the "New Destiny" co-founded by Alicia and Bishop Teresa, it was still a period when the world was dominated by the three anti-collapse organizations: "Old Destiny", "Anti-Entropy" and "World Serpent".

Xi'er was able to master the power of the "Twin Contract" at an early stage. It is said that this "Twin Contract" may have some connection with the "Herrscher of Death" among the Fourteen Herrschers of the Creation Star. If this power can be unlocked,

The key may be able to help Xi'er regain that strength.

However, Bronya is worried that this power is too dangerous. If she continues to rely on the power of the "Twin Contract" to fight against Honkai, her mental state and the unstable Honkai energy in her body will one day

Suddenly ran away.

"So, Captain, what do you think, if Captain Seele returns to the state of 'Awakening Herrscher'... it will put a huge load on her body?"

"So, you know, the reason why I don't want Xi'er to return to that state...Besides, even if she loses her power, she can already be called a powerful Valkyrie in her own right."

Here, Rin and Bronya were still talking about Seele. When they turned to Seele, they met the vice-captain, Jack Adams, who came to look for her.

"So Captain, you are here. Hey, Captain Rin and Bronya are also here. Did something happen? It seems that your mood is a little... not right?"

As for Seele, the moment she saw Jack, she instantly transformed back into Captain Seele who was very strict with her subordinates.

I saw her hurriedly wiping her eyes, trying to stop herself from crying, and then said to him, "Don't worry about my affairs."

"Hey, Dy. Captain Xi'er, you almost killed Brother Lin during the sparring training just now. If Brother Lin hadn't saved a hand, he would have had to report to God on the spot."

"..."

Xi'er also calmed down after Jack's words. She remembered the "murderous intention" revealed when she faced Rin just now, and she did it unintentionally.

After all, he was her companion and one of her valued subordinates.

Before, it was because she valued Rin that she wanted to recruit him into her team. In the end, because Rin always said, "Captain Bronya is kind to me," her proposal was rejected by Rin again and again.

.

Xi'er, who has always been slightly prejudiced against Bronya, in the sparring training just now, saw that Rin was about to hurt Bronya and took action rashly. It seemed that she wanted to subconsciously protect Bronya and attack Rin.

Revealed murderous intent.

In fact, she still cares about Bronya, but she has suppressed this emotion for too long and often does not show it to Bronya.

After Xi'er's mood stabilized, she also apologized to everyone:

"I asked you to worry about it. I didn't expect that I am still immature in some places... As your captain, I made you laugh."

After hearing this, Jack burst out laughing and said:

"This is the captain who always treats us like sandbags. If the captain wasn't so angry... I don't think you look like the captain anymore."

"Stop talking nonsense, do you want the salary?"

"Hey...yes, Captain, you can't always threaten me with things like this."

Rin and Bronya also noticed Jack's arrival. At Bronya's suggestion, it was better to let Xier and Jack talk more about things between them...it might be better for things between them.

After all, Jack has stayed with her for a long time, and he may know how to calm down Xier's mood.

"Then, captain, how about I treat you to a cup of...coffee? After all, you don't drink much either."

"Humph, then I'll reluctantly agree to it for you."

Rin and Bronya walked in the opposite direction and did not follow Jack and Xie'er. At this time, Bronya had no choice but to let Jack think of a way to cheer up Xie'er.

Next, Seele and Jack came to the employee afternoon tea area. Jack asked for two cups of coffee, and then started chatting with Seele.

When talking about why he and Jack encountered a collapse in the mine that day, and Jack made a subconscious move to save himself, Jack said:

"It's nothing... I just thought of rescuing the captain as soon as possible... and so on, which made you worry. So, forgive me, I did what I should do."

Seele shook her head, saying that if she and Jack had fought side by side, Jack might not have risked his life to use "Explosion Mode" to deal with Lin, the powerful person of the "Moon".

Jack did not deny Xie'er's point of view, saying that although he still trusted Captain Xie'er, he couldn't bear to let Captain Xie'er get hurt, so he did this.

After all, he has been with Xie'er for six years, and he is already an independent Ashes agent.

"Lady. Captain Xi'er, you said... when I joined your team, you didn't even bother to look at me. Haha, now I should be able to let you look at me more."

"You, if you use your skills in picking up girls in training, maybe Bronya's vice-captain... won't be able to compare to you."

"What's the matter? Brother Rin has power that none of us have. Compared to him, I am lucky enough to be able to try my best to come back alive."

Jack looked at the American black coffee cup in front of him. Since he left his hometown and participated in the selection of the Ashes of Destiny agent, he could pass the selection test for two years and join the ranks of fighting against Honkai and fighting crimes.

Everything was like a dream, and several years passed in the blink of an eye.

He became See'er's right-hand man, still using his proud Thunder Double Revolver, Dy. Captain See'er, and fighting for destiny.

At this time, Jack is also thinking about whether he can become stronger faster, strong enough to become a being comparable to Rin, and become a reliable fighting force for everyone.

Xi'er saw Jack's doubts. However, what Xi'er wanted to say to him at this time was not about what Jack was thinking, but about another thing:

"By the way...do you remember? You said you wanted to date me when you became an 'A-level' Ashes agent?"

Jack was suddenly startled and said that he had indeed said that, but:

[When I first saw Captain Xier, I thought you were quite young, but... you turned out to be so old?]

Xi'er hit him on the head angrily, causing a big bump to swell up on the back of his head.

She usually seems to be very skilled at "beating her own vice-captain". She can accurately create bags of various shapes on different places on his head. She has a lot of experience.

"dead."

She picked up the coffee cup angrily, took a sip, then put the cup down, stared at Jack and said:

"Didn't I tell you to add milk? Why is it black coffee again? Also, there's too much sugar in it."

"Sorry, sorry... Well, little brother, make me another cup, with more milk and less sugar!"

Xier, on the other hand, signaled Jack not to bother the staff making coffee here, then picked up the coffee cup in front of her and continued to drink.

"No need, that's fine. Please be more careful next time."

"Eh...yes."

Seele knew that Jack had been with her for almost five or six years. During this period, he had grown from a young boy who kept talking about "dy. Captain Seele" all day long.

She once hated this cowboy.

However, after experiencing the incident where he sacrificed his life to save her, it was a great blessing that he could still appear in front of him alive and laughing.

After all, no matter how stupid he is, he is still his trusted lieutenant.

"Fool."

After Jack said that he wanted to practice more marksmanship, Xier had other ideas.

The person she wanted to find at this time was Miss Angelica, and she wanted to let the "Tolerant Lord" exist to show her a clear path.

Although she knew that Rin was Angelica's "child", she didn't care about Rin at all.

She was just a little "jealous" of Rin's growth. His fighting strength had grown to a level where he could fight a "quasi-S-level Valkyrie" like her.

She didn't know where Miss Angelica was now, so she could only go find Rin first. As her biological son, maybe Rin should be with Angelica at this moment.

However, when she came to Rin's room, she found that the door was not locked. As soon as she opened the door, three little ones from the seventh unit gathered together to play a game called "Honkai Kill".

"Anyone who violates the destiny's territory will be attacked by Yayi!...Eh? Captain Xi'er!"

Rin, who was about to "violate the territory of destiny", seemed to have noticed the arrival of Captain Xi'er, and quickly motioned for Lin Qi and Ritter to put away the cards, then got out of bed and put on his shoes, and asked Captain Xi'er why he came to see him.

whats the matter.

After Xi'er told Rin her purpose of coming, she thought about where the usually elusive "biological mother" would appear at this time.

"Then, she might be in the kitchen in the staff canteen area. If possible, I would like to go find her with you."

When Ritter and Linqi were asked to find other people to play cards, Rin followed Xier. The two were going to go to Lady Angelica together to ask about their own powers so that she could provide some help.

After all, Xi'er knew some of her shortcomings from today's training battle. As the captain of the fifth unit, she decided to get back the power that can protect everyone, the power that can protect her sister, and even Jack and the others.

.

【The Other Shore·Twin Contract】

This is the power that Xier has lost for a long time, and she wants to regain this power.

"Oops~ Mr. Little Prince, eh? This is... my name is, little friend Xi'er, what do you mean by asking for a concubine?"

Before they arrived at the cafeteria, Angelica was walking in the direction they were going. She was holding a large basin full of kale cakes in her hand, which she seemed to be preparing to distribute to the children.

Some.

As a "kale cake fairy", Angelica has almost regarded making kale cake as a daily necessity. It is said that the employees here seem to like it, so she has been doing this.

Traditional cuisine of the Gama people.

After accompanying Angelica to deliver the kale cake to the working area of ​​the upper-level staff, the three of them planned to go to the staff lounge to talk about important matters first, not wanting to be overheard by others.

They came to the lounge. Xi'er also sat down on the sofa, and Rin sat side by side with Xi'er. When Xi'er opened her mouth, she asked Angelica if there was any way to restore her original beauty.

strength.

Angelica looked worried and said to her:

"Well~ I don't seem to be able to help you. Regarding the arrangements of the 'Lord Master of Fate', I can only have the level of 'precognition' ability."

Xier was a little disappointed with Angelica's answer. When she was about to lower her head and remain silent, Angelica continued to say to her:

"However, I believe that this 'little prince' of mine may be able to help you... But."

"Eh? Me?"

Rin subconsciously pointed his finger at himself, with a look of suspicion and a strange expression on his face. If according to what his own mother, who cannot tell lies, said, he could help Captain Seeer regain the power of the "Twin Contract"

, then how come you don’t know?

Angelica continued to say that if you want to restore the power of the "twin contract", which is essentially the power of the "apostle" (Herrscher), you must achieve it through a "medium" and communicate with your own heart.

Likelihood of success.

And Xi'er didn't understand what Angelica meant by "medium" at all. If Rin was that "medium", then what should be done?

After following Angelica to the training ground, Angelica took out her harp and started playing melodious tunes.

"What...what is this doing?"

"Ceremony, everyone."

Gradually, a huge pure white magic circle appeared in the center of the field. This was similar to the original power displayed by the "Tolerance" power. Then, Angelica asked Rin to walk to the top of the magic circle in the center of the field.

"Okay, next, I will be ready to be summoned~za, do, sei! (similar to 1, 2, 3 in Gamma language)"

Soon, under the display of Angelica's superpower, Rin's body was gradually covered by light, and his body disappeared into the magic circle along with Angelica's chanting.

Seeing this, Xi'er quickly asked her what she was going to do. Angelica smiled and asked Xi'er to do the same as Rin and follow Rin into the light, without asking her what she was going to do.

"Is there no danger? Miss Angelica?"

"Of course not. I can control the use of 'Bayeli' (Honkai Energy) and will not put them in danger."

Angelica then explained that the power of star guidance contained in the body of the "Prince of Light" can help Xi'er recall some past events.

Moreover, along with her came trials for her.

"What about Rin?"

"The little prince is a 'medium', so I temporarily used his body to restore the little prince's body to the level of stars and sand, as a medium for this 'summoning'."

She has a good relationship and is worthy of being a biological mother. She said she treats her son as a "medium", just as a "medium". She sells it very simply.

At this time, Rin's consciousness was contained in the stars and light. He also heard that his own mother was really using him as a "medium", and he felt a little angry.

But his body has turned into dust and starlight. Although he is still conscious, he can feel that his consciousness is dispersed into countless individual consciousnesses in the light, which is a wonderful feeling that he has never experienced before.

As Xi'er entered the light, Lin could also see Xi'er's past in the light. In front of him was an endless sea of ​​fire, as well as dilapidated streets and cities.

That was the time when the "Honkai Era" occurred, a catastrophe known as the "Last Great Collapse". Countless monsters emerged from the ground, and the sky was filled with ferocious beasts roaring. It could be described as a scene of hell on earth.

When Xi'er fell into her own memories, she saw her young self and her sister Bronya, protecting herself in the form of the "Herrscher of Truth".

But... at that time, Xi'er didn't act with a "young" appearance and attitude when the Era Collapse occurred, right?

At this time, Xi'er didn't think much about this, she just looked at the bizarre scene that happened in front of her -

"Sister Bronya! Xi'er also wants to fight...so, please let me go with you. Xi'er will...will protect everyone!"

"No, Xi'er, I'm sorry."

A burst of blue light flashed through Bronya's palm, and Xi'er's body gradually began to blur. Gradually, it turned into the data in Bronya's hand, which she carefully preserved in Ya

in space.

It was also the first time for Rin to see such a young captain. The captain at that time was the controller of the "Herrscher of Reason", and it was also when she was at her peak and most powerful.

Captain Seele watched this scene and quickly stepped forward to stop young Bronya and grabbed her wrist.

"Hey...who is it? It's very dangerous here. Bronya has never seen it..."

When the young Bronya stared at the grown-up Xier's face, she showed a slightly surprised expression, and then she said calmly:

"Sister, you and Xi'er...can't be said to look very similar. According to Bronya's judgment, you should be Xi'er. Why? Bronya has clearly activated the 'power of truth', how can she make Xi'er look taller?

Is it so high?”

Although fourteen years have passed for Xi'er, she still remembers Bronya's appearance at that time, exactly as she remembered it.

She was sure that this was her "memory", the time when Bronya used the power of the Herrscher of Reason to turn her into data and transmit it to a safe place for protection.

However, her form... is supposed to be that of a "24-year-old" Bronya? Why did she become a "17-year-old" Bronya?

Before she turned into data, she still had some impression of the moment in front of her. That was the beginning of her complaining about Bronya's sister for abandoning her, and the beginning of her hatred of Bronya.

"Sister Bronya... no, this... Miss Lawyer, if you don't mind, can I fight alongside you?"

"Well, although Bronya just thinks that you are very familiar to me, eldest sister, but in this current situation, only we can stop this."

After asking the young Bronya some information, she had determined that this was the point in time when the Honkai Era occurred.

At this point in time, the Herrschers who prevent the continuation of the Honkai Era include, in addition to the "Herrscher of Truth" Bronya, the "Herrscher of Origin and Thunder" Sister Mei, the "Herrscher of Knowledge" and others.

.

At this moment, the world is about to be destroyed. And at this moment, Destiny, as the last bastion and hope of mankind, has sent out all available combat forces to fight against the terrifying monsters spreading here.

In the sky, the bright moon had long since turned blood red, and a dark red cross star was reflected on it.

That is the symbol of "the end", and from that time on, humans must unite to fight to prevent the end of the world.

"Bronya... come here to support me. Target h-0045 has appeared. I may be... a little struggling alone."

"Well, okay, sister Li Sushang."

Xi'er still remembers the "Li Sushang" sister Bronya said. She was a member of the Destiny Valkyrie who had been judged to be "missing" after the Honkai Era. However, Li Sushang is still alive.

Li Sushang's name is on the list.

"Then let's go, this big sister looks very similar to Xi'er."

"Um."

Xi'er knew that this time she entered her "memory" for a "trial" in order to better understand the truth behind the disappearance of her power and to reawaken her own power. This was a very important battle for her.

's trial.

Rin also felt the brutality of the battle at that time in Xi'er's memories of the "Honkai Era". Countless destiny warriors came one after another, fighting and fighting against the monsters, leaving only human limbs and monsters.

His body was burning in the sea of ​​fire.

The earth has cracked and the world is on the verge of collapse... Is there anything more desperate than this?

At this moment, Angelica's voice still sounded in the light:

"Little Prince! You can't just look at her~ Oh, you still have to do your part and give this little girl some 'guidance'!"

Angelica's voice rang out in the light, and only Rin could hear Angelica's voice.

"How to do it?"

When Xi'er and young Bronya were fighting side by side, countless monsters rushed toward the two of them, and under the strong fighting power of Xi'er and Bronya, they were quickly reduced to ashes.

While Rin was listening to Angelica's "teachings", Xi'er and Bronya quickly ran into trouble. A "Temple-level" Honkai Beast revealed its huge body and shape with thunderous momentum.

The fangs were rushing towards the two of them.

Rin manipulated his "consciousness" in the light. According to Xi'er's memories, what he had to do was to use the light to guide her according to the "abnormal" parts in her memories.

He closed his eyes tightly and created road signs in Xi'er's memories, trying to guide the two of them in that direction.

"This...is this?"

Xi'er and Bronya noticed the light spots on the ground at the same time, which kept flashing and gradually turned into a connecting line in the chaotic city, seeming to indicate that the two of them should go this way.

Young Bronya seemed to have noticed this road of light spots, and signaled Xier to follow her and move in the direction of the light spots.

The huge Honkai Beast was still chasing them behind them, but Bronya held Xi'er's hand tightly, making Xi'er feel like she was back to the past, and her heart felt warm.

"Bronya...Sister, if you had allowed me to fight with you...it would have been great..."

She began to sob quietly and held Bronya's hand tightly, fearing that she would disappear in front of her in the next second.

The young Bronya noticed the grown-up Xi'er's sobbing, and quickly turned around and kindly asked her if she remembered anything sad or sad.

"No...Sister Bronya...Miss, let's just follow the light."

"Well, don't be too sad, big sister, everything will be over, Bronya promises you."
Chapter completed!
