A Journey of Resonance That Begins with Honkai

"Hahahahahaha, okay, just kidding, store manager."

Tian Nuo laughed, and when the people around him began to be attracted by the playback on the big screen, he took Altair who was next to him and walked out of the arcade hall.

"If given the chance, we will come again."

"As for the so-called prize, give it to us later, store manager."

With a wave of hands, the figures of the two left with a long cry from the middle-aged store manager.

And now walking on the street.

The slanting sunset and the afterglow of the setting sun lavishly bring the final brilliance to this land.

Tian Nuo walked ahead with his head held high, while Altair lowered his head slightly, letting Tian Nuo lead her forward.

"Today is really a happy day, Al."

Tian Nuo suddenly sighed: "After becoming a resonator, I seem to have been forced by some kind of force to keep moving forward."

"Occasionally I want to relax, but I, who can see the future of the world, can't let go because of the imperfect ending."

"But what people pursue in this life is not perfection, but peace of mind."

Tian Nuo looked at the setting sun in the distance, and then stopped.

He didn't let go of Altair's hand, but turned his head and looked at the girl who looked up at him at the same time.

Tian Nuo asked softly, "So, Al."

"Now you, can you feel this peace of mind?"

Altair stared into Tiannuo's eyes, the tenderness and the words in his ears made Altair, whose heart was fully open, fall into deep thought.

'Relax, okay? '

If being carefree is peace of mind, then Altair at this moment fully meets the standard of peace of mind.

After this day of relaxation, Altair felt that she was dependent on Tiannuo.

That is not a trust like Blitzcrank, but the real kind of trust between blood and soul.

She believes in Tian Nuo in her heart, and she is more willing to get close to Tian Nuo.

Just because this man is Altair's half father.

but……

"……I have no idea."

Today is an extremely magical day for Altair, because she not only experienced many firsts in this day.

It is at this moment that he has the emotion called confusion for the first time.

"You said that people are pursuing peace of mind in their whole life. In other words, before peace of mind, we are always in a state of anxiety?"

Altair easily pulled his hand from Tian Nuo's palm, and slowly put it on his heart.

"I'm really upset because I'm angry."

"I'm angry at the world's inaction, and at myself for not being able to save Setsuna immediately despite being so powerful."

Altair's voice was trembling, but calm.

"If I can get to Setsuna's side early, will she not have to die?"

"If I can appear in advance, then the world has not been able to give the momentary happiness, so can I give it?"

In the eyes that are red on the outside and blue on the inside, the former calmness is slowly calming Altair's active heart.

She raised her head and looked at Tian Nuo again, without any temper or emotion in her eyes.

"Perhaps you're right, Tenno, people are after peace of mind."

"I'm very uneasy now, because I need to do a lot of things before being resurrected in a moment."

"But these things are full of changes. I can't guarantee that there will be mistakes in the middle, and will the resurrection time be delayed again because of this mistake?"

"I am afraid of such a result, and I am even more afraid that even if the world collapses and turns backwards, I will not be able to find Shi Mo, who was alone before death!"

Altair's mood changed as he spoke the words.

His originally calm eyes began to tremble, his fists were clenched even more, and his expression became a little sad.

"In that moment, she must be very lonely."

Altair lowered his head gradually.

And Tian Nuo gradually lost his smile at this time.

He looked at Altair who was trembling all over but without any distress, and sighed slowly.

"Ugh."

And then -

puff!

"!!"

Altair's eyes widened.

Because at this moment she was embraced by Tian Nuo.

The thick arms not only brought warmth, but also dispelled the coldness on Altair's body.

And that hard, reliable chest squeezed into Altair's heart even more forcefully, firmly suppressing that restlessness under the mountain.

"Although I have complained about my identity as a young father, but after seeing your uneasiness, I still want to do something."

Altair couldn't look up, and she couldn't even control her body now.

Because she was being surrounded by a kind of power at this moment, and this power even made her hear the heartbeat of the man in front of her.

Boom, boom, boom...

Smooth, powerful and reliable.

And in the gap between heartbeats, Tian Nuo's voice was still coming out.

"My peace of mind lies in my own experience and the great strength I have now."

"Although I can no longer see the future, under this belief, I can firmly believe that the future will be the future I want."

"And for me, Altair."

Tian Nuo didn't call Altair by his nickname, but by his full name.

This kind of behavior made Altair instantly recover from the blurred heartbeat.

She listened carefully to her father's words.

And Tian Nuo tightened his arms again, and then said slowly: "You are in the future I want."

"There's Setsuna Shimazaki, too."

At that moment, Altair could no longer feel the instinct called thinking.

When Tian Nuo was taken into this world by Altair, he said this to Altair——

[I will not interfere with your plan, nor will I help you, at least until the outcome is determined, I will not act for you. 】

At that time, Altair almost couldn't hold back and lifted the seal on Tian Nuo, leaving it to fend for itself because of the power of setting conflicts.

Because when Altair learned that she still had a father after she was born, the anger in her heart due to the loss of the moment was greatly relieved.

She hopes that after getting in touch with Tiannuo, this soul-derived father is willing to help her act together for the resurrection moment.

But in the end, what he got was a strange feeling.

So in the future, Altair is unwilling to admit that this man is his father, because he does not have the responsibility and responsibility of a father at all!

But this idea began to be gradually doubted after learning what Tian Nuo had done this morning.

And now, it's slowly starting to unravel.

"……What's the meaning?"

Altair buried his head on Tian Nuo's chest, his whole body tensed up.

She didn't want to miss anything she heard next.

And Tiannuo stroked the back of Altair's head, stroking the long silver hair.

He said: "I will resurrect Shimazaki Setsuna with you, resurrect your mother, and make her no longer lonely."

Altair's breathing became short of breath, and Tenno changed the subject.

"But before that, I have to complete the agreement with Setsuna, and complete the resonance with her."

Tian Nuo said seriously, "I want you to feel the love of this world."

"I want you to know that besides Setsuna, there are still people in this world who can love you!"

dong dong, dong dong...

There was no change in the heartbeat, but Altair could no longer tell whether it was his own heartbeat or the beating of this broad chest.

【It would be great if this child could be loved. 】

Altair knew that this was Setsuna's last blessing to himself before he died.

But how could the death of the mother make the lonely child feel something that he never had?

'love, do you? '

"……why?"

Altair finally had enough strength to support herself from Tian Nuo's chest, she raised her head and looked at Tian Nuo's no longer unfamiliar face.

And I'm afraid even Altair didn't notice that her always cold eyes were sparkling now.

'Why, I must have love? '

"Because I'm a father."

"Could it be that your father can..."

"And you are my daughter."
