If that's the case... what's wrong with giving everything to the arrival of this being?
Taking a deep breath, Fukaros looked at the girl before him who looked exactly like him and said in a deep voice:
"I hope you can keep all your promises."
After speaking, Fukaros felt somewhat lost.
Just as one feels fear when facing death, Fukalos also finds it hard to imagine what he would be like after everything he has been taken away from him.
Perhaps it's no different from dying? After all, I've already given everything.
'Funina' smiled and slowly approached.
When Fukalos was so nervous that every pore seemed to be opening up.
next moment--
"Hmm...!?"
Fukaros, who thought she was mentally prepared for any situation, widened her eyes as she felt the 'softness of a young girl' pressed against her, causing the god's brain to shut down completely.
She wanted to say something, but because her mouth was blocked, she could only let out muffled sobs.
...Is this all you want?
Suddenly, Fukaros remembered something—Frinna was that strange man... In other words, the 'Frinna' in front of him was actually that strange man.
Wait... a man?!
Could this guy have been after my body from the start?!
...
"boom--"
Setting down the custom-made Honkai energy weapon 'Past Blossoms (Bow)' personally crafted by Velvet, Alicia, standing amidst the ruins, raised her hand to brush aside her flowing hair and gazed at the fallen Emperor-class Honkai energy with a satisfied expression.
"Great~ Finished, time to call it a day?"
"I really look great today..."
Smiling, Alicia suddenly felt a little uneasy and slightly annoyed.
"...I'm a little annoyed."
With her beautiful, clear blue eyes wide open, the pink-haired chubby lady subconsciously puffed out her cheeks, feeling a strange sense of displeasure, as if something she loved had gone missing, or perhaps like a cucumber had been split in two.
"...Could it be that bad Jiang Qiao is up to something?" Alicia looked at the ground with some suspicion as she stepped on the broken stones with her metal-soled high heels.
"Ask the fairy Ellie."
Feeling a little uneasy, the pink-clad, chubby young lady fumbled around and pulled out a strange communicator.
Unrestricted battlefield communicator
— Of course, Jiang Qiao wasn't the only one who could obtain strange lottery items through the chat group. As a member of the same chat group, although the item was not very noticeable, Alicia would also use it to pass the time in her spare time, thinking, 'Since I'm free, why not try my luck at the lottery?'
Unfortunately, her luck seemed to be consistently bad, and she didn't draw many valuable items.
Aside from trash fillers like Hannah's Stigmata and Snake Grass Water.
So far, the best thing Alicia has drawn, and the one that she is most satisfied with, is this 'Unlimited Battlefield Communicator'.
Its effect is simple: it enables phone calls—without any interference, regardless of distance, and even cross-border communication across worlds.
However, this doesn't seem to be very useful when there are chat groups available for communication.
Within the Honkai world, the communication devices developed by Velvey are often no less effective than this item.
Since there's only one pair, it seems like it's really not very useful.
However, since Fairy Airi and Bad Jiang Qiao went to another world to play, in order to prevent the latter from getting involved with some unknown girl again, Airi gave this to Fairy Airi so that Fairy Airi, who was not in the chat group, could know about Bad Jiang Qiao's recent situation.
"Hey hey hey~"
"toot toot"
"Oh, it's me, silly girl. What's up?" The fairy Ellie's childish voice rang out from the communicator, causing a hashtag to appear on Ellie's smooth forehead—the pink fat lady had actually been complaining about this hateful nickname for a long time.
What do you mean by "I'm stupid"? Am I really that stupid, Ellie?!
Unfortunately, it seems impossible to completely correct it—although I really want to use force to correct the title of Fairy Airi, but... looking at her appearance, I just can't bring myself to do it!
Ultimately, persuading someone through physical means is not Alicia's style.
While one could be more forceful in dealing with the wicked Jiang Qiao, Ai Li... had once tried to capture her, only to be met with a painful setback, and Ai Li Xia decisively abandoned this foolish attempt.
They can't be tough at all!
Hmph! It's all Jiang Qiao's fault!
Furious, Miss Alicia promptly blamed Jiang for the incident.
"Hmph, it's nothing, I was just curious about how things are going on your end." Muttering to herself, Miss Alicia thought to herself, "Why am I getting angry at a doll? I need to focus on the main and secondary issues!" Then she began to probe indirectly.
"Oh, Teyvat is so much fun, especially Fontaine."
"The desserts were delicious, the scenery was beautiful, and we could even take a sightseeing boat ride on the sea!" Fairy Ellie's childish voice was filled with undisguised joy, and the boasting was self-evident.
The description is vivid... After all, it's a doll made based on Alicia, and for the sake of accuracy, it may not have much talent in this aspect. Anyway—for Miss Alicia... it's infuriating.
With her teeth clenched and cheeks puffed out, Alicia's mind was already filled with fantasies and she was intoxicated by the scenery of the other world. However, the flying sand in front of her and the piles of rubble ravaged by Honkai Beasts around her pulled the pink-haired fat lady back to reality.
...Damn it, that scoundrel Jiang Qiao and the fairy Ellie are happily enjoying the scenery and exquisite desserts of another world, while I, Ellie, am stuck working overtime and eating sand... This stark contrast made Miss Ellie feel extremely unbalanced, and she angrily kicked a rock...
"Well!"
Clearly, the pink-haired fat lady paid the price for her reckless behavior.
Even Eden's meticulously designed "Heroic Attire" combat high heels, for aesthetic and other considerations, were clearly powerless to help this self-inflicted suffering.
Sitting on a rock, hugging her legs, Alicia pouted and muttered, "Stinky Jiang Qiao, bad Jiang Qiao..."
Yes, at this moment, Miss Alicia was filled with regret.
Why did I have to refuse that bad guy? If I hadn't refused, I would have already had my fun with him.
Why should we suffer in this desolate place, gnawing on sand?
With MEI and the others' abilities, even if they suddenly quit or slack off, nothing will definitely go wrong... But there's nothing we can do about it, since the scale of the Honkai around the world is getting larger and larger as time goes by...
Looking at the hurried figures in the rescue camp set up by the Fire Moth in the distance, Alicia pouted and sighed.
...Let's wait until we defeat the Honkai before going to other worlds with that bad guy.
Thinking this, she muttered to herself:
"I'll definitely make that bastard make sure he makes all the money that Ellie is missing!"
As for now... with Fairy Airi around, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
This communication thus ended.
Fairy Airi put down the communicator, which seemed rather large for her size, and shook her head helplessly:
"Honestly, I'm so stupid and not frank at all. I clearly want to ask about my situation, but I have to beat around the bush like this."
"This is completely unlike Alicia~ If this continues, oh dear..."
"What kind of person is she?" Funina asked curiously. While Jiang Qiao was inside, she had been chatting with the fairy Ellie.
Compared to Alicia's longing for another world, isn't the world Alicia lives in also a fascinating other world for Furina, who has never left Fontaine since birth?
As for Alicia, a name that had already appeared in the chat group, it was clear from the few words exchanged that she seemed to have a rather close relationship with Jiang Qiao.
"A beautiful girl as dazzling as falling petals? Hmm... I'm still far from that! But, as the fairy Ellie from the Land of Celestial Music, I'm sure I'll grow up to be a wonderful, perfect beautiful girl!"
Funina had a brief moment of imagination, and of course, some internal slander—it wasn't all just boasting!
Her curiosity about the girl named Alicia was partly out of curiosity, but perhaps also partly out of 'intelligence gathering'.
After all, if Alicia and Jiang Qiao are very close, they could easily lose miserably if they don't properly understand their 'opponent'.
However, it would be inaccurate to say that Funina is a very frank girl.
Miss Funina also felt somewhat lost about this bittersweet and contradictory emotion, which was both incredibly sincere and incredibly vague.
But even if she wanted to continue probing indirectly, it seemed pointless, because the fairy Ellie had already uttered words with that innocent face that made Funina extremely flustered:
"Hmph~ Trying to extract information from me, the fairy Airi?"
"Even if it's Fufu, you can't, after all, the silly me is the grown-up me, and the fairy from the Kingdom of Celestial Music won't betray the silly me."
"What...what are you saying?!"
Feeling incredibly ashamed and indignant that her thoughts had been completely exposed, Funina retorted with a slightly flushed face. Then, in order to change the subject and avoid the fairy Ellie's innocent yet all-knowing eyes, she walked to the door and tried to peek into the theater through the crack in the door.
"Seriously, what is Jiang Qiao doing in there? She's not moving at all."
In fact, out of curiosity and concern, Funina had already tried to spy on them.
However, only a long distance could be seen between 'Frinna' and the Cardinal of the Proclamation through the crack in the door.
That's all.
He didn't even move!
This action undoubtedly dispelled Miss Funina's previous concerns.
