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

Chapter 35 Seele's Bizarre Adventure

……

"From the start of the plan to its official implementation, there's only been a week. Aren't you in a bit too much of a hurry?"

In a forgotten corner of the ruins, a girl with short blue hair peered out from behind a wall. After confirming it was safe, she turned back and muttered to herself.

A voice inside her said, "No, Seele just wanted to give him a surprise."

"Okay, okay, you're so pure and kind, I'll do all the dirty and tiring work."

"Ah...yes, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant! It's just..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. It's not like I don't know."

"Seele" sighed: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. According to the saying in Shenzhou, this should be a day for family reunion. But he is not from this world. He complained to me before that he was too lonely."

Now, only Seele is there for him. Even out of basic sympathy, Seele wants to be by his side as soon as possible.

"Yes, thank you for understanding me, Seele."

Seele shook her head, clutching it, and continued observing the outside. This had been going on for three hours; she just didn't know when the Firemoth rescue team would arrive.

Occasionally, some unsuspecting Honkai Beasts would rush over and raise their claws at the vibrant Seele, but Seele would just make a face and stick out her tongue, and the Honkai Beasts would flee in panic. In the process of fleeing, they would have their Honkai energy drained and eventually disappear into nothingness.

Although Seele is a Herrscher, and she herself has no intention of denying this identity, the Honkai Beasts are theoretically her companions. However, Seele's fate is intertwined with Yun Fuyu's, and she also wants to continue living as a human. Therefore, it's fine if these poor Honkai Beasts don't provoke Seele, but if they do, she won't hold back.

For Seele (Herrscher), the one she was most attached to was probably her companion Honkai Beast, Great Independence. Unfortunately, after Great Independence was weakened by Seele (Creation), it was killed by Kevin with a single sword strike, leaving behind a large number of tissue samples that were sent to various research institutes.

"..."

"...They're here!"

From afar, Seele heard a girl's cheerful voice.

"Big sister, when are we going back? My new dress that I bought yesterday has arrived at the base. I'm looking forward to wearing it and showing it off to everyone!"

Then came a cool female voice, with a hint of exasperation: "Stop messing around, we're on a mission, why are you always thinking about dressing up?"

The cheerful voice from the front said, "Life is full of disappointments, but eating, drinking, having fun, and dressing up nicely can make you feel like your luck will improve!"

"...Sigh. I don't know what to say to you."

A cool voice sighed softly: "Have I spoiled you too much? I've been protecting you ever since you joined the Fire Moth, letting you have too many fantasies about this world."

The cheerful voice hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well... after all, you're really strong, big sister. You always succeed perfectly on every mission..."

"That's because you're inexperienced."

As they chatted, they gradually approached the vicinity of Seele's hiding place. Then, Seele summoned a Chariot-class Honkai Beast out of thin air and controlled its body to hunt her down—

In the corner, a blue figure suddenly appeared; it looked like a girl. She kept glancing back in terror as she stumbled forward. Behind her, a massive, tank-class Honkai Beast smashed through the wall and pounced on the girl amidst the dust!

"Big sister!—"

No sooner had a cry of surprise rang out than the woman known as "Big Sister" had already rushed forward with her sword drawn! Her gaze was cold, devoid of any superfluous expression, and upon reaching Seele's side, she drew her sword!

A massive amount of Honkai energy was controlled and condensed into a sword beam that severed the Honkai Beast's head in an instant! The remaining massive body continued to rush forward due to inertia, but in the end it could only fall down unwillingly, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Seele knelt helplessly on the broken street, clutching her chest and breathing heavily. She felt dizzy and her body was almost completely exhausted.

—It's not acting, it's real.

This performance quickly won the trust of the Firemoth squad. The owner of the cheerful voice ran over, frantically pulling out all sorts of medical supplies from his bag, only then remembering that he should first check Seele for any injuries.

Seele's clothes were tattered and dirty, her hair was a mess, and her face was covered in dust. There was a bloody gash on her arm that was a full twenty centimeters long, and the remaining Honkai energy was faintly visible.

Strangely, the Honkai energy didn't seem to penetrate Seele's body; it all remained at the wound site.

The owner of the cold voice walked over and glanced at her, a rare hint of surprise appearing on his usually indifferent face: "This child has great talent, Sirory, disinfect and bandage her up directly."

That's right, the owner of that cheerful voice was Sirory, who was in the same rookie team as Yun Fuyu. Now she had joined the "big sister's" team and steadily made it to where she is now.

As for the leader, her name is Sinamy, which sounds somewhat similar to Sirory's. In fact, they are indeed sisters.

Sirory's medical skills were quite good; she quickly bandaged up Seele, who was already dazed and almost fainted. Sirory couldn't help but feel pity: "Big sister, let's take her back quickly."

Sinamy: "...You go back with everyone first, I'll just walk around here one more time."

The sudden appearance of Honkai Beasts and survivors is bound to arouse suspicion. Sinamy decides to observe further on her own.

Her squad wasn't a special operations squad with a number; it was just an ordinary squad formed by relying on Sinamy's abilities, with only seven people in total. After hearing Sinamy's instructions, the others didn't object and left with Seele.

"..."

Seele said coldly, "She's suspicious, so perhaps..."

Seele shook her head: "There's no need. We just want to be legitimate. So what if others have doubts? If we do something really outrageous, it will only expose us."

"Alright, let's see how the Fire Moth responds."

……

The truth is, Sinamy neither reported her suspicions nor recorded them in her work log. She probably thought the suspicions were too far-fetched and didn't even want to talk about them with others.

The squad's extermination mission is not yet over, so they are camping in the wild tonight.

Upon "awakening" from her coma, Seele did not become a burden to the others. Instead, she quickly helped set up tents, spray insect repellent, and set up warning bells. When Sirory took out the tableware, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to set up the pot and prepare food... In short, she was exceptionally skilled.

Sirory usually struggles with these tasks, but today, with Seele's help, it went very smoothly. When Sinamy returned to the camp, she found it neatly organized and everyone chatting and laughing around the boiler.

She tilted her head in confusion, paused for a moment, and then walked into the camp to greet everyone.

As a result, Sirory kept praising Seele, and the other team members seemed to be under a spell, all showing Seele a friendly and appreciative attitude. Seele, on the other hand, just smiled shyly, which made anyone who saw her feel good about her.

Infiltrated the team, got it!
