The two got along very well and their relationship quickly warmed up – according to Totori, she and Wendy became good friends thanks to the dessert shop.
So—[Alicia] is already a good friend to Totori, no less than Wendy!
They might even have a higher level of favorability.
After all, the power of the Lesbian community in Paradise is far beyond what a shy, introverted girl like Green Seele could ever match.
The excited little bird couldn't wait to introduce its new friend to Wendy. It swallowed the last bite of dessert that Alicia had fed it, its lips still stained with fruit, and eagerly said:
"Let's go quickly!"
"Wendy would be so happy to see you!"
Chapter 131 Bao, you're finally back
Wendy's background wasn't exactly good. Although it was much better than the guy from the 2nd Bike, by ordinary standards, Wendy, born into a family where her father died early and her mother was a nightclub regular who didn't care about her at all and was even quite strict, couldn't be considered well-off.
Fortunately, she has gotten used to this numb life.
One day, while working odd jobs, he met a girl named Totori who had come to study in China.
Totori's appearance illuminated Wendy's previously dark and gloomy life, letting her know how vast and beautiful the outside world was.
Secretly, a seed of longing for freedom was planted in the girl's heart.
She wanted to see the world with Totori, like the free-spirited wind; she was the wind, and Totori was the little bird that traveled with the wind.
However, this wish seems somewhat difficult to fulfill.
The girl lying on the hospital bed coughed softly, and faint purple marks could be seen on her neck, which was covered by her clothes—a sign of being infected by Honkai energy and suffering from Honkai disease.
For ordinary people... no, for most people in the world, this is an incurable disease.
but--
The most unbearable pain for Wendy did not come from her body, but from her mind.
She didn't know when it started, but another seductive voice appeared in her head—the other person told her that as long as she obeyed, she could achieve everything she wanted and become the freest person in the world.
It's really, really beautiful.
Wendy wanted to agree immediately, but for some reason, she could vaguely sense that if she really went along with it, everything would inevitably lead to the outcome she least wanted to see.
So, with her unwavering devotion to the little bird, she persevered, resisting the temptation of that malicious voice.
...Totori, I want to see you.
Wait and wait.
During the long and agonizing wait, the girl's voice that had haunted his dreams finally rang in his ears:
Wendy, I've come to see you!
Excited and thrilled gazes were cast upon the chestnut-haired girl, but then froze at the moment their eyes met hers.
Wendy's gaze fell on the pink-clad girl who seemed to have a very close relationship with Totori, and she stiffened her gaze.
"who is she?"
"Hehe, she's my new best friend! Let me tell you, Alicia is amazing!"
good friend?
...good friend?
As Wendy watched Totori enthusiastically introduce the pink-clad girl, her initial joy gradually cooled, and her bright eyes became empty.
A bittersweet feeling of jealousy filled my heart at that moment.
She always considered the little bird her one and only, but now... has the little bird made new friends?
Although it is very clear, very clear, that Toto Giri cannot have only one friend.
But Wendy still had a despicable hope that Totori would also see her as the only one.
Suddenly having other good friends appear—I don't want that kind of thing!
At that moment, something latent seemed to shatter.
And a hint of blue has quietly appeared at the ends of the girl's originally jet-black hair.
Just as she was about to explode, the pink-clad girl she was jealous of suddenly spoke up.
"Seriously, stop focusing on introducing me. If you pay too much attention to other girls—look, Wendy gets jealous."
"Wendy is not that kind of girl!"
Totori was somewhat dissatisfied.
The green in her hair instantly receded, and Wendy, whose chest was filled with jealousy, was also somewhat at a loss.
Alicia, who witnessed all of this, smiled.
I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush!
We can't let you just leave it like this!
"Hmm~ Let me see... Wendy, is she? Just like Totori said on the way, she's a very cute girl. She told me a lot about you on the way here."
Approaching the hospital bed, the pink-clad girl leaned closer and pressed her index finger against Wendy's chin, gently touching it. Wendy, who had been happy to hear Totori hear her voice, blushed slightly at being so close, but due to her illness, she was unable to resist and could only let herself be manipulated, inhaling the delightful fragrance of the flowers.
But instead, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance arose.
You and my little bird are going back and forth, and you still dare to tease me like this?
Wendy, I'm really getting angry!
Greening efforts, let's begin!
"No, that won't do. If we do that, Totori will be very sad, and she might even get hurt—you don't want the little bird to be sad, do you?"
The soft, sweet voice seemed to carry a hint of coercion, making Wendy's heart skip a beat and subconsciously feel a little scared.
It seems like this woman has completely seen through me!
and...
For some reason, after Alicia touched her, Wendy not only felt her physical pain lessen, but also felt her mental stress being released like a tap being turned on.
The seductive voice had completely disappeared.
"How is Wendy?"
The little bird was very concerned.
Although she didn't take Jiang's medical skills seriously, seeing how much her good friend's complexion had improved and even her posture had straightened up, she realized that there was some truth to it and became very concerned about it.
"It's nothing serious. I'll take her back to headquarters to have Dr. Mebius do a check-up."
As she said this, the pink-clad girl, who had put her hand down, glanced sideways at the chest of the girl on the hospital bed—don't misunderstand, she wasn't interested in this kind of girl's body. Besides, even if she were interested, in the girl's category alone, no one could compare to this [Alicia]. More than anything, she was actually looking through those pink eyes that shimmered with the authority of origin, at the...imaginary origin point.
The cocoon has really learned to be clever.
Normally, Herrschers are created through a process of selection following the Great Collapse.
But because of his previous actions, Cocoon, fearing being tricked again, reversed the order this time.
The process involved first creating a Herrscher, and then triggering the Honkai.
—Just like the Herrscher of the Void later on, the Great Honkai will erupt the moment she awakens.
Furthermore, this approach will eliminate the risk of prematurely detonating the reservoir.
Because the starting point of the dark side of imaginary internal energy lies in the Fourth Herrscher.
You can only unlock the reservoir by awakening her.
But if you awaken her, the reservoir will explode instantly.
Moreover, because of the grand gesture made under the cocoon, the imaginary internal energy of this entire branch was mobilized.
Once Wendy awakens, the fourth Great Collapse she triggers will have a global impact.
......
This left Totori and Wendy with some space to be alone, and Jiang Qiao told Mebius and MEI about the latter's problems.
"Can't we just kill her?"
Möbius's idea was simple and straightforward.
As long as Wendy, the fourth Herrscher who has not yet awakened, is killed in advance, there is no need to worry about the problem of the Great Collapse being triggered after awakening.
"Don't tell me you can't do it. You definitely have the ability to forcibly absorb the imaginary origin of the Fourth Great Collapse after that girl dies, right?"
Before Jiang Qiao could refute, her somewhat effeminate and mocking words stopped her from saying what she wanted to say.
Indeed, even if Wendy, the Fourth Herrscher, is killed, Cocoon can choose someone else to become a Herrscher. There is even a possibility that if Wendy dies, she can be reborn as a Herrscher.
but...
So what?
