Honkai Impact 3rd: I picked up a Seele at the start of the game.

Chapter 86 Virvi

……

A myriad of illusions descend upon the dream world, with swaying shadows and flickering starry skies overlapping each other, as if the layers of the world have been disrupted and mixed together.

Seele, dressed in a black dress, descended before Yun Fuyu.

She said thoughtfully, "Dreams do seem to be boundless; even my power cannot explore their boundaries."

Yun Fuyu said with a worried expression, "But only dreams can explain the abnormality I've noticed recently."

Whether it was the story I vaguely heard while searching for Seele that night on the transport ship, or the inexplicable babbling I heard this evening, there is almost no other reason than a dream.

Yun Fuyu had a vague premonition that this would be an unbelievable answer. But a premonition is just a premonition; it cannot explain the current situation. Even Xier couldn't sense the problem, and he had no clue what to do.

Seele knelt before him, just like in real life. After a moment's hesitation, she wanted to ask him a few questions, but couldn't bring herself to say them. In the end, she could only sigh softly and decide to just stay there and keep him company.

She wanted to ask: What would you do if one day you discovered that you are not yourself?

He said during the day, "The past is stillborn in my dreams, and the old me is no longer the real me," which was just a reflection on the emotional conflict between "past and present."

Seele knew his identity was extraordinary, but he only had the memories of being a transmigrator. If one day their memories conflicted, would the joy he and Seele shared in this very moment also become "the past," "stillborn in a dream"?

Dreams and reality seem like two different worlds to them. In these different worlds, they use different identities and contemplate different questions.

……

……

The second day of the social gathering.

We've already done most of the things we wanted to do yesterday, so there are far fewer people outside today.

Xi'er and Yun Fuyu were in the same boat. After that confession, which wasn't really a confession, last night, they both went through a period of calm.

As night was about to fall, Yun Fuyu's door opened, and Xi'er's door followed. They stood together, expressionless, tentatively observing each other's expressions. After a long while, they suddenly felt that what they were doing was incredibly foolish.

Yun Fuyu offered her hand: "Tonight is the last event of the social gathering, a fireworks display and prize redemption. Xier, we collected so many gear coins yesterday, we can't let them go to waste."

Seele slapped a coin into his palm, looking puzzled: "Don't you have your own coins? Why are you asking me for them?"

Yun: ? ? I clearly wanted to invite you, to hold your hand, right?

He choked, took two deep breaths, and then smiled, nodded, and said "Yes, Seele is right."

……

Strolling down the street, most people were subtly converging in a certain direction—the prize redemption area set up by Vilvi. It was said that the final fireworks display would also begin there.

Yun Fuyu and Xier were no exception.

They were still walking one after the other. Xi'er would look around from time to time. The sparklers held by passersby caught her attention. The sparks reflected in her eyes were bright and dazzling.

That's great, everyone is very happy.

She quickened her pace to catch up with the person in front of her, covered her mouth and chuckled in the shadow of his back, then continued to pretend to be very curious about her surroundings.

If only time could stand still at this moment.

Upon arriving at the prize redemption area, a robot with a distinctly Velvi style stood on a high platform, waving its mechanical limbs and speaking in Velvi's voice.

They squeezed to the front of the stage and listened quietly.

There are three events remaining tonight: prize redemption, a fireworks display, and a banquet for voluntary participation.

Welwyn is currently preparing the prizes, please wait a moment.

Yun Fuyu suddenly heard a familiar voice speaking with dissatisfaction. "This guy just loves to cause trouble, doesn't he get tired of it... I've had enough."

It looks like Mebius?

Even she went out to participate in an event?

Yun Fuyu looked around, but couldn't see the green-haired figure. Instead, Xi'er tugged at his sleeve because of his strange behavior, and it was unclear what she meant.

Yun Fuyu had no choice but to calm down and continue waiting.

Fortunately, the robot on stage stopped working shortly afterward. Velvi then appeared.

This was Yun Fuyu's first time seeing Vervi. She had short, light blue-green hair styled in a unique way. Her brown clothing was probably to cover up the oil stains on her clothes. The clothes were messy yet had a strange pattern, as if designed to facilitate her handling of machinery.

Because he and Seele were relatively close to the stage, they could even smell a faint odor of engine oil, though it wasn't unpleasant.

Hmm, another familiar face. Yun Fuyu couldn't help but smile; she really couldn't resist.

Seele, constantly observing his demeanor, was suddenly filled with a series of question marks—could it be that the smile that had captivated Seele when they first met (which, over time, had become part of her own imagination), was actually just his infatuated grin, spreading like a central air conditioner everywhere? (Girls hate central air conditioners the most!)

Vervi's gaze involuntarily drifted to this spot, and Yun Fuyu rationally withdrew his smile, but Vervi clearly had no intention of letting him off the hook.

Seele and Yun Fuyu, one resembling the Herrscher of Death, the other having interacted with Herrschers and successfully participated in the Fusion Warrior surgery. In terms of uniqueness, perhaps only the combination of May and Kevin can surpass them.

Vilvi loves interesting people and things like this.

She cleared her throat and then addressed the audience with great enthusiasm: "Without further ado, let's begin the prize redemption! Those of you with gear coins, please come up quickly! It's guaranteed to be a surprise!"

"I hope she doesn't do anything reckless; I don't want to take the blame..."

Yun Fuyu heard Möbius's sarcastic voice again. Strange, she couldn't see her around; was she disguised?

Vilvi spoke passionately on stage, but without really getting to the point. And because of her less-than-stellar reputation, people were probably hesitant, and no one volunteered to go up. Luckily, she was used to it and wasn't afraid of awkward silences.

Finally, when Seele felt she had observed enough, she raised her arm to indicate that she wanted to go on stage to claim her prize.

Velvi suddenly realized she actually admired this young girl! Even if she really was a Herrscher, Velvi would definitely... cough, respect her enemy!

Seele gracefully leaped onto a platform about a meter high, drawing everyone's attention. After all, in a militant organization like the Flame Chaser, girls her age were rare, and many wondered whose daughter she was…

Velvi raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh~ this pretty girl from the Fifth Squad, can you tell me how many coins you've collected?"

The girl said crisply, "One hundred and seventy-five."

There are only one thousand in total.
