Chapter 58 Where did Alicia go?
……
If you do the math, Yun Fuyu has been in this world for almost two months. She and Seele escaped the Honkai for eight days, then rested for more than half a month, and then Seele was resurrected half a month later. Now, almost another half month has passed.
He had a big question mark in his mind—Where is Alicia? Where is Alicia, whom I've been longing to see?
At this moment, in the bathhouse, on the second floor, in the rest area.
Hen tugged at his toes: "She's either traveling the world or has met another pretty young girl."
Yun Fuyu looked disgusted: "Put your foot back before you talk to me! Even if you just took a shower, it's still disgusting!"
Hen rolled his eyes: "So young and already full of problems, I guess you've never been beaten down by society, have you?"
Yun Fuyu blurted out, "People work so hard just to avoid being beaten down by society, right? If they still get beaten down even after working hard, then it's not my problem, it's that the world is sick!"
Hen covered his forehead: "...That seems to make sense, huh?"
Yun Fuyu exclaimed in shock, "You actually touched your forehead with the hand you used after picking your toes! I'm reporting you to Gretchen right now!"
Hen sneered: "Where the hell do you think you have my daughter's contact information?"
Yun Fuyu chuckled: "I ran into them, mother and daughter, at the library that day. When Sister Blanca wasn't looking, I secretly added Gretchen as a friend."
Of course, that's Gretchen! Why wouldn't I add her as a friend if I had the chance? Especially since Gretchen is particularly easy to fool at this time... ugh, particularly naive and friendly!
Hen leaned closer, still somewhat skeptical, to look at Yun Fuyu's phone. It was Gretchen's chat window, with a pre-written but unsent "tattling" message... and everyone exploded!
This is the image of a husband and father! I will not allow this brat to tarnish it!
Hen thought that with his strength, snatching Yun Fuyu's phone would be an easy task, but he was afraid that the kid would shamelessly shout "robbery"... But the result was that, under the premise of trying not to make a noise and disturb others, he tried his best but could not get close to Yun Fuyu!
Tsk... This kid's strength is probably not much lower than his, it's simply outrageous.
Yun Fuyu scoffed in a low voice, "Boss Hen, you're too old for this kind of risky little game~"
Hen's face immediately darkened: "Disrespect for the commanding personnel will result in a five-point deduction in the annual performance review."
Yun Fuyu rolled her eyes at him: "Heh, don't think I don't know. I'm now under Möbius's protection. Your annual assessment won't scare me at all."
Given Mebius's immense expectations for his fusion surgery, it's unlikely anyone could forcefully confront Cloud Rain—that's the power of Mebius! Her thighs are actually incredibly thick!
To be honest, after getting to know him better, Hen found that he actually admired the kid. He had been particularly aloof because of the Herrscher of Death, but now that he had "Seele," he had regained his youthful energy and was full of vigor on missions, completely different from a middle-aged man like himself who had lost his passion.
...Well, although Hen is not yet thirty-five years old, he is still a young man, but he likes to put on airs of a middle-aged man in front of Yun Fuyu, and then get a good talking back, which is quite like playing around with a friend.
But the only thing I can't forgive is that this guy approached my precious daughter for no reason!
Ever since she painted that picture of clouds and rain, Gretchen, who was usually indifferent to life, suddenly became curious about it. She would often ask Hen about the soldiers' daily lives and battles, and then frequently bring up "that handsome older brother I drew last time," asking him what he had been through, what he was doing, and what he might do in the future...
Although Hen knew that Gretchen's talent was special and that the painting probably had some deeper meaning, he didn't want to see his precious daughter so curious about other boys! Absolutely not!
Seeing that Hen was about to explode, Yun Fuyu finally stopped teasing him and quickly turned the topic back to the beginning—
"Speaking of which, isn't Alicia a very strong warrior? Why does she always seem like she's not doing her job properly?"
Hen: "...It's true in some ways, and it's also not true in others. Alicia completes missions quickly and well, but her personality is rather... lively. For example, if a mission has a three-day time limit, she can always finish it in two days, then spend the last day eating, drinking, and having fun, and finally return to the base to hand in the mission."
Yun Fuyu: "What do you mean by her traveling the world or meeting pretty young girls?"
Hen's expression was complicated: "What you mean by traveling the world is that she's been playing around in her spare time from missions again. A pretty young girl... I ask you, have you ever seen a girl prettier than Alicia? (Except for my wife and daughter, parentheses)."
Yun Fuyu silently applauded his meticulous speech, then pretended to know nothing and replied, "Never seen her. (Except for Xier, parentheses)."
Hen: "Yes, there are very few people who can surpass Alicia in beauty, but this pretty little girl's favorite thing in life is to tease other pretty little girls."
Yun Fuyu pondered for a moment: "You mean, she's a woman with beautiful and sexy lace on her thighs?"
Translation: Is she a lesbian?
Hen nodded in admiration: "This child is teachable!"
Yun Fuyu suddenly asked, "Then what about her previous contact with Xier...?"
Hen nodded in affirmation of his guess: "Yes, Seele is definitely within Alicia's hunting range. You should be glad that this Seele has normal values, otherwise you probably wouldn't have had a chance to get close to her!"
What Hen means is that Yun Fuyu should be glad that "Seele" is straight, otherwise she would have been won over by Alicia right away, which led to his "chance encounter" with Seele, taking care of Seele, and getting to know Seele (that's where the story is going for now)!
In the eyes of others, and also in Yun Fuyu's own eyes, his relationship with Xier had only progressed to the point of "getting to know each other," and there was no further opportunity for them to take things further.
Yun Fuyu gasped, "Thank goodness... but you still haven't told me where Alicia went!"
Hen: "How the hell would I know? If you really want to see Alicia, just ask Mei and Mebiusto. They're both quite familiar with Alicia. I only took care of her a long time ago, and I actually had very little interaction with her."
Yun Fuyu nodded regretfully: "Alright... (muttering) I thought you were a big shot with a wide circle of friends..."
Hen: ...Endure!
……
……
"You want to see Alicia? The one who's great in every way except for that pink-haired girl with a mouth?"
Mebius looked at him strangely, even pushing aside the portable experimental bed he was holding, and rushed over to grab Yun Fuyu by the collar, saying, "You told me back then that you were recommended by Alicia to join the Fire Moth, what about now? Can't make up a story anymore?"
Her imposing manner was so strong that Yun Fuyu shrank back and said, "Yeah, like you said, I can't keep making this up."
As long as someone compares Alicia's statements, Yun Fuyu's lie will be exposed instantly. Seele experienced this firsthand, which is why Yun Fuyu frankly told her that he was a transmigrator, thus clearing up the matter.
The only people who heard this lie were Mebius and Seele. So now, in order to fulfill his wish of "seeing Alicia," Yun Fuyu chose to self-destruct directly, skipping all the twists and turns, and pretending that this never happened.
However, it's clear that Seele spared Yun Fuyu because of their intertwined fates, the truth about the transmigrators (and the special information Seele knew). But as for Möbius…
Mebius gripped his collar tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to strangle him.
She was indeed somewhat embarrassed and angry.
All along, this PhD student had acted like an omniscient and omnipotent, obsessive sage in front of Yun Fuyu, but she now realized that she had been deceived by his flawed lies. If he hadn't confessed, she probably would still be kept in the dark!
Damn it, why didn't she try asking Alicia, but instead subconsciously believed him when he said he had seen Alicia?
...It's all Alicia's fault! That woman with the sweet talk! (Confirmed)
