Please, Another Me!

According to common sense, if he is a traveler who traveled to the last era, then it is impossible for him not to make the option to change the future.

So he wants to determine through Kevin whether the history of Honkai follows the 'butterfly effect', or is it an elastic straight line governed by 'fate' with only one direction.

Can the future be changed, and can the tragic ending be rewritten because of his existence.

"...you used to say things like 'I've lost to fate again' every time you lost someone close to you."

Kevin didn't know why k423 asked such a question, even though they were not getting along now, he still told the truth, and then disappeared from k423's field of vision.

"..."

Kevin disappeared. Facing the ruins of the empty training room, k423 turned around and looked up. Outside, the scorching sun looked down on him from the blue sky, as if mocking his ignorance and insignificance.

"The me in the past was defeated by fate..."

Chapter 30. The Crying Girl

Kevin left, and k423 followed the opening carved by Kevin towards the outside of the training room. His feet stepped on the black ground that had been dissolved and condensed. Kind of hot.

"It hurts..."

K423 murmured and walked to the edge of the dissolved wall and sat down. To be honest, his current state is not very good. He lowered his head and looked at his hands. The armor on his hands has disappeared, and the inner armor on his small arms is still intact. But on the outside of the arm is scorched skin.

Looking at the moonlight crippled armor half-hanging on his body, k423 couldn't help recalling the danger of taking Kyle's attack before.

The attack that Kevin made with the Heavenly Fire Sacred Cut was not just a simple superficial physical phenomenon like combustion and explosion. While burning the human eye to observe the real number space, it also destroyed the imaginary number space.

That's right, it's destruction, just like the origin of the name of the Key of Destruction of the Holy Judgment of Skyfire, it is impossible to hide in the imaginary space by using the ability of the Herrscher of the Sky, and there is no time to leave by using the portal.

At the last moment, k423 used everything he could. First, he injected the Herrscher's Honkai energy into Bai Lian to turn on Moonlight, and then took advantage of the moment when Kevin hesitated because of his own words, he used the fastest speed to activate Moonlight. Get Gungnir out and shoot Kevin's flames.

However, it was impossible for Gungnir to be able to catch Kevin's slash immediately, and he was pushed over after a moment of time. As a last resort, k423 used the imaginary hand and the imaginary shield to wrap himself up.

Of course, there was no accident. The key of destruction in Kyle's hand collapsed instantly, and then the impact of flames and explosions hit Kiyana's body in moonlight head-on.

Fusion warriorization.

In the face of life and death, k423 made a choice without hesitation. Something changed in Kiyana's body. At the same time, k423's consciousness saw countless giant beasts. The boss of Ice Pig.

One second late, or Kevin didn't hesitate, and Kiyana died.

But the end result is that he managed to keep Kiyana alive, and Kevin left, and now I probably have to worry about another problem, that is, Kiyana who heard himself and Kevin talking the whole time.

That girl always thought that k423 was another her, now she probably knows that she is an outsider.

Will you hate me?Or do you want to drive away me, an outsider?

Thinking of this, k423's vertical pupils turned into Kaslana's standard blue pupils, he closed his eyes, gave up control of his body, and returned his attention from the outside world to Kiyana's mind.

【Qiana, eh...? 】

He didn't perceive Kiyana's doubts, confusion and anger towards him on Kiyana's personality group, he 'saw' the shivering Kiyana.

Not only Qiyana, but also Sirin, who was deep in her consciousness, was hiding there trembling at the moment.

'The other me, I'm so scared, so scared...'

It seemed that she had sensed the voice of k423, and at the same time, Qiyana curled up when she regained her body. From the first perspective, she could see that Qiyana buried her head in her knees, and her tears rolled outward.

K423 didn't wait for Kiyana's questioning or anger, what he waited for was Qiyana's frightened appeal for help, and Qiyana's mental state was very poor.

I was afraid because I was almost killed by Kevin before, or because of me?or something else?

【I'm here, don't be afraid, everything is over, don't be afraid. 】

K423 doesn't know why Kiyana became like this, but it is certain that Kiyana is very scared now, and the only thing k423 can do about it is try to comfort Qiyana.

'But, but...but...but...'

Even after hearing another voice of her own, Qiyana still didn't ease her fear. She hugged her knees tightly, as if she had never wanted to hug someone, but because of the one body, her emotions became more intense Even the words conveyed by the consciousness are full of sobs.

【…】

Faced with Qiyana's state, k423 was a little flustered, but he still tried his best to keep calm.

feather.

It is impossible for k423 to appear in the outside world and use physical contact to comfort Kiyana's fear. In order to better comfort Kiyana, k423 recruited the feather in the floating mind, and brought Kiyana and himself into the consciousness of the feather space.

K423 brought Kiyana to the space of consciousness, he stood, and Kiyana squatted on the ground with her head in her arms like the outside world, still afraid, and didn't even realize the changes in the surrounding scene.

"Qiana, Kiyana."

K423 was afraid of irritating Kiyana, so he walked up to Kiyana, and gently shook Kiyana's shoulder with his softest voice, trying to get Kiyana's attention.

"another me……"

As if feeling being touched by others, and another voice of her own, Kiyana raised her head, and then...

"Another me! Wow! That guy is scary, and there are a lot of monsters. I saw a lot of monsters, wow."

She threw herself directly into k423's arms, causing k423 to sit on the ground with his center of gravity unsteady, and then, like a frightened child, Qiyana hugged k423 tightly and cried loudly.

That guy should be referring to Kevin, the monster. Could it be that Qiyana also saw the images of those Houkai beasts in her genes when she awakened as a fusion warrior?

During Kevin's battle, death and fear are like poisonous snakes on the tarsus. K423 knows from Kevin's words that if Kiyana dies, he probably won't die either, but Kiyana has indeed experienced this from the No.1 perspective. A battle of trapped beasts that determines life and death.

Qiyana is not a qualified fighter, she has no awareness of dedicating her life, facing a warrior like Kevin who was killed in a sea of ​​corpses and blood, of course she would be afraid, and her fear was natural.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as I'm here, no one can bully you."

k423 had guesses, but didn't ask what Kiyana was afraid of. She hugged Kiyana, put her hand on Kiyana's back and patted it gently.

The emergence of the last era, destiny, and the battle with Kevin, these things have made k423 a little exhausted and tired, and now he really wants to slowly digest the conversation with Kevin.

But in front of Qiyana who was crying into tears, he just wanted to comfort this 'coward' now.

k423 does not remember what happened to him in the last era, nor does he remember the people close to him in Kevin's mouth. He only remembers that the first time he opened his eyes in the collapsed world was with Kiana's eyes. of.

Kiyana is an idiot, a coward, and a troublemaker. Every time she feels the same as her and accepts punishment, she wants to beat her up, but k423 just doesn't want to see this little idiot who smiles every day crying like this.

Extra Story: Flames in the Ice

If you can't let go of your self-righteous mercy, it will be your beacon of death.

Snowflakes fell on the dilated pupils with gravity, and the burning anger was also frozen by the coldness of reality.

Once upon a time, she met such a child with black hair and black pupils, a boy who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen.

At that time, she disguised herself as a teacher and was secretly investigating a smuggling related to the fire moth. Because of her immaturity, the child was unfortunately involved in the incident, but he never blamed himself. His wisdom helped him complete the task.

"Can you tell me your name?"

After the incident, she asked the boy.

"I don't want my name to be known by a strange aunt like you who does dangerous work~"

The boy returned with a smile in his arms holding his blue-gold pupils with different-colored eyes and white hair.

"What's wrong with you, Auntie? Didn't your parents teach you to call a beautiful female elder sister who is older than you?"

Regarding the boy calling herself aunt, she pointed to her cheek and retorted. Although she has never found a boyfriend because of work, she still pays attention to dressing and maintenance.

"My parents are not in this world. I have nothing else to do. I'll leave first. Bye."

The boy gave her a supercilious look, then stroked the white cat in his arms, and said to the white cat as he walked:

"What should I call you, Sirin? Or Kiyana?"

"A world that's not here... Hey, wait!"

"What's the matter? It's fine to say an apology in advance. I'm not dissatisfied with my current life."

She stopped the boy who was about to leave, and the boy showed dissatisfaction with her who stopped him.

"It's not me, you live in..."

"Orphanage, the social support system in this world is quite complete, at least I don't have to worry about money now."

The boy answered the question before she finished speaking. Judging from the rare and not troublesome expression, it was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Well, do you want to go with me?"

"I don't want you, a national agent like you, if one day you suddenly burp, will I have to be sent back to the orphanage again? And there are reasons why I can't leave."

The boy walked past her and said:

"There is a timid and silly girl. Although her family is better than mine, if I leave, she will definitely be bullied by those brats."

In this way, the boy intersects with himself as the Flamemoth Warrior, and separates.With luck, children who don't know the truth of the world should be able to thrive.

But unfortunately, the boy was not lucky. With the occurrence of the collapse again and again, the city was finally destroyed in the collapse, and she heard the news of the boy again after the sixth collapse.

As a human who awakened special abilities after contacting Honkai, after defeating the Sixth Herrscher, he was captured by the Fire Moth. He is the seventh 'Unknown' human captured by the Fire Moth, code-named 'U-007' However, the relevant intelligence access rights are not accessible to a non-researcher like himself.

For this reason, she specifically found Kevin who executed the Sixth Herrscher.

"Kevin, may I excuse you?"

"Himeko? What's the matter?"

Compared with the cheerful and sunny Kevin I saw for the first time, Kevin who has experienced the sixth Honkai is colder than anyone else. After all, he is the only one left in his team after the sixth Honkai survive.

"It may make you a little sad. I want to ask you about the sixth Honkai, and the child captured by the fire moth."

"..."

After Kevin heard her words at the time, he was silent for a while and then replied:

"Yes, I am short of someone to confide in."

From Kevin's mouth, she finally got all the events in the sixth collapse.

In the ruins of the city in the Sixth Great Honkai, Kevin's troops chasing the Sixth Herrscher met the boy who was looking for a certain girl in the Honkai, because the boy's awakened special ability can effectively target the Honkai herd, In addition, the mission of Kevin's troops was not allowed to turn back halfway, and finally they took the boy.

It's just that neither Kevin nor the boy expected that the Herrscher they went to hunt and the girl the boy was looking for were the same person.

After confirming the identity of the Herrscher, the boy negotiated with the Fire Moth's troops to let them let the Herrscher go. Of course, the boy's negotiations could not be successful, so in the end the boy stood on the side of the Herrscher without any hesitation. Kevin's troops raised their knives.

As a result, only one member of Kevin's army survived, and the Sixth Herrscher died. The boy who was a rare experimental subject was captured by the flame moth after giving up resistance.

"Sometimes I wondered, if I had chosen to disobey the order, would killing Herrscher before killing him would have ushered in a better ending?"

During the conversation, Kevin's eyes were full of confusion, but the confusion was only for a moment, and then he gritted his teeth and said:
