Chapter 83 Please cherish every moment of fun.
……
Seele Voller is a fourteen-year-old girl who recently joined the Flame Chaser. Because of her striking resemblance to the Herrscher of Death, many things happen around her.
For example, Yun Fuyu. Because he had some interaction with the Herrscher of Death, he felt a special connection with Seele. After a chance encounter, they formed a bond, and after a series of events, especially after Dr. Mebius tricked them, their relationship gradually became more complicated.
It was during the Moth of Flame social event, and the two agreed to go out together. After a frank conversation at a bar, Seele was somewhat frightened by Yun Fuyu's sudden assertiveness. What happened next confirmed Seele's suspicions; he seemed to have truly become a different person.
They accidentally stumbled into a singles social event. Xi'er was teased and pulled away by some of her friends, who also urged Yun Fuyu to go to the men's group to show herself off.
In the past, he might not have refused, but he would certainly have felt some resistance in his heart. But today, he smiled and agreed, then dazzlingly displayed his power and ability, and specifically stated that he had come for Seele.
Seele's friends, especially Anise, teased Seele with a sour tone, and finally, with a show of sisterly affection, pushed Seele to Yun Fuyu's side, indicating that they were entrusting Seele to him!
At that moment, Seele's face was flushed with happiness, and she hesitated, wanting to refuse or refute, but in the end she silently followed behind Yun Fuyu and continued to the next location.
He was too forceful, so forceful that Seele was somewhat afraid. But he wasn't always this forceful; it was only today, only at this moment.
In private, he asked Xier childishly if he had embarrassed her. Xier was both amused and exasperated, and could only stand on tiptoe and pat his head as a form of comfort.
Hmm~ Little Seele sometimes has the feel of a gentle older sister. It feels so comforting to have Seele pat your head~

The next stop was a small event. Apparently, Velvet was being lazy and delegated the tasks of hanging up the colorful lights and setting up the fireworks to someone else. She said that there was a 3% chance that each item would contain Velvet's gear coin, which could be redeemed for a prize from her, with a guaranteed satisfactory prize!
There are only a thousand coins in total, and three hundred of them are from this event alone. Seele had even found one at her feet earlier. Then... with her sharp eyes, Seele grabbed one hundred and fifty coins in one go, only reluctantly giving up when Yun Fuyu, panting, begged her not to take on any more tasks.

Continuing on, they passed a quarantined building. It was said that soldiers who wanted to see their loved ones could apply here, and the Fire Moth would periodically arrange free airfares for them to meet inside this building. (Because the Fire Moth was a military-controlled organization, Yun Fuyu's ability to go out was for plot purposes, or perhaps due to his special circumstances, he wasn't as restricted.)
During the social gathering, this opportunity was extended, so the building was bustling with people like a never-ending tide. Unfortunately, both Xi'er and Yun Fuyu were alone. After a slight sigh, they exchanged a glance and left.

Before dusk, they arrived at the venue of a competition. It was crowded, and they managed to squeeze in. They saw the rules, hand-drawn by Vervier, on the notice board.
Since it's a military-controlled organization, the competition naturally has to be a bit special. All three competitions are held in a simulation training room: PVP between people, PVE single-player combat, and the most exciting one: escaping from simulated Herrschers of Lightning, Wind, and Death.
The winner of each event receives ten gear coins, with an additional one hundred for achieving a grand slam of all three. Vilvie is once again using her reputation as collateral, but it seems unlikely that her guarantee is very strong…
Seele's eyes were a little bright.
She was naturally very interested in the activities of the girls, but according to the character setting, the activity in front of her should be attended by Yun Fuyu, so she was naturally very interested in Yun Fuyu's performance.
Unable to resist Seele's pleading gaze, Yun Fuyu squeezed in and signed up to join the battle.
STOP! And turn your gaze to the distance not far away.
A purple-haired girl and a white-haired boy walked in one after the other, and everyone who saw them made way for them with either excitement or awe. The purple-haired girl with glasses smiled and nodded to the people, then walked forward without any modesty, arriving at the competition venue.
The purple-haired girl with glasses is Mei, and the white-haired boy is Kevin.
Mei spoke in a rare, light tone: "This was a suggestion from Vervière. She has prepared a surprise for you, but you must be strong enough before she will hand over the 'surprise'."
After a brief silence, Kevin asked, "Have you seen that so-called surprise? I hope it's not some kind of bomb or trap."
Mei smiled and nodded: "That's what I thought too, so I 'persuaded' Velvet to confess. It was a weapon made from fragments of a Herrscher after death and the Soul Steel we developed, which is harder and sharper than any weapon we have now."
(Note: In the early manga, when a Herrscher died, they would drop materials, not the Herrscher Core, but something called "Herrscher Body Fragments." Later, this was changed to "Herrscher Core Fragments." These fragments could be made into powerful weapons.)
(The concept of body fragments is used here, introduced only to advance the plot, or perhaps as a precursor to the Divine Key, since both are 'something from the Herrscher + Soul Steel'. However, the Divine Key is far more powerful than this.)
Kevin's interest was piqued slightly. But then again, if May hadn't offered to let him participate in the competition, Kevin would never have come.
He squeezed into the crowd and signed up to fight.
Kevin, as the undisputed strongest warrior of the Firemoth, coupled with his rumored romance with May and his own good looks, should have attracted considerable attention with his participation in the war.
However, the facts are somewhat inconsistent.
Mei noticed the strange atmosphere around her; it seemed a little too quiet. After a moment's thought, she squeezed in and looked at the large screen broadcasting the live battle scene—
In the battle to escape from the three Herrschers of Lightning, Wind, and Death, most of the participants were brutally killed within seconds. However, there was a boy who was about the same age as Kevin. His figure was as light as a falling leaf. Even when surrounded by the three Herrschers in the simulation, he remained calm and composed, dodging accurately while observing and counterattacking.
The timer in the corner of the screen showed that he had survived for two minutes.
"……interesting."
Mei muttered something under her breath, then looked around the crowd for another figure—as she expected, the girl, Xi'er, was nervously clasping her hands to her chest, intently watching the screen, occasionally breaking out in a cold sweat because of the danger the person on the screen was facing.
"What...is he trying to do?"
Mei couldn't help but murmur a question.
