Collapse 3: The girl who chased the fire moth

Page 16

Melutina lowered her head, folded the rag, and picked up the broom beside her.

"...You, somewhat changed."

It seems that he only looked at Melutina until now, and was slightly taken aback when he saw her exquisite dress, and then showed a bitter expression,

"If Vanessa sees you now, maybe she will feel better."

This sentence made Melutina, who had not responded, tremble slightly. Although she stopped quickly, François, who was looking at her, saw it.

"...Tsk."

The girl who has always rejected everything from the outside world is shaken and guilty about her only friend, and even does this kind of thing like an ordinary person would do.

François was not unmoved by this, he deeply understood the important existence of his fiancée to this girl.

But how ironic, the only person who has a common memory of Vanessa is the one who killed her.

"If you find a new life, then live on your own. Don't come to me, you live in a dignified way, that's what she looks forward to the most."

François stood up, snatched the broom from her hand,

With Melutina's unexpected expression, she cleaned the room cleanly.

"Also, don't send me money. The survivors of the Honkai are subsidized by the government. If I have the will, they will also provide me with a job."

Francois said coldly.

"……I……"

"Don't get me wrong, I just can't see you well, so you can live with guilt for the rest of your life, I won't give you a chance to redeem your sins."

Francois pushed Melutina out of the door half-forcedly, and then closed it with a bang,

"Don't do it again, stupid woman!"

Only Melutina was left standing at the door at a loss.

"……team leader?"

However, a suspicious voice came from the side.

"...Adam?"

Melutina turned her head stiffly.

"Are you kicked out by...?"

Adam raised an eyebrow.

"........."

…………

10 minutes later

"My aunt lives here."

Thinking that he couldn't leave the captain at the door, Adam held back a smile and invited Melutina in for tea.

"Her family used to be in Australia... Well, she lost her family and was taken care of by Flamemoth, who was assigned to an apartment here."

"……yes."

Melutina lowered her head, not knowing how to face this embarrassing situation.

"The guy who lives over there is the captain's boyfriend?"

Adam remembered the phrase "Don't do it again, stupid woman" just heard.

"No... that's my friend's husband."

Melutina pursed her lips and explained,

"My friend... died in Australia trying to save me."

"...So that's how it is. No wonder, this is the first time I've seen such a captain."

Faced with them, she always had a strong appearance, but Adam didn't expect Melutina to have such a face.

Clumsy, dazed and confused about her age.

"Don't tell Lixue and the others...otherwise..."

However, before Adam could finish speaking, a gun with a purple glow was pressed against his head, successfully making his expression freeze.

"It will break you."

Melutina said with a serious face.

"……Yes."

The corner of Adam's mouth moved, and he said honestly.

"Adam, why did you become a fusion fighter?"

Seeing that he agreed, Melutina took the God Key back to her waist.

"Me? Actually, there is no particular reason."

Adam scratched his cheek, showing a distressed and carefree expression,

"It's just... nowhere to go."

ps A worthless piece of information - the name Melutina comes from the Nordic goddess Meltina (ーεー)

Special Chapter: Black Dragon and Flower

Nordic

"You said...there are gods on the snow-capped mountains?"

Shi Yu Qiluo asked in disbelief.

"Of course, we have all seen that huge body, that infinite power, that is the black dragon god in Nordic legend, Nidhogg!"

The old woman, about 70 years old, said tremblingly,

"God, bless us!"

All the people in the village with her put their hands together, as if they were praying to heaven.

…………

"Captain, what do you think?"

Shi Yuqiluo spread out her hands, with a helpless expression on her face.

"There seem to be two theories in Northern Europe, one regards the black dragon as a monster, and believes that it once ate the world tree, and it is a demon that destroys the world.

However, there is another saying that the black dragon is the patron saint of northern Europe. It will listen to the wishes of the people and help them defeat the cold winter and beasts. "

Cecilia got out of the car and said.

"It's quite the opposite... Does that dragon on the mountain really exist?"

Salome folded her hands on her chest and said lightly.

"There are many eyewitness testimonies, and it seems that the words are true. However, since it is a huge creature, it is more likely to be a Honkai beast."

Cheng Lixue held Xuanyuan Sword like water and said,

"This time the Snow Wolf team dispatched four members, including the S-rank Valkyrie Cecilia. It is because the bishop suspects that this may be an emperor-level or even a trial-level Honkai beast."

"Could it be the legendary Judgment Level? He even regards Houkai Beast as a god..."

Shi Yuqiluo felt that the people in the village were simply crazy.

"Let's go, before it causes disaster, we have to solve it quickly."

Cecilia clenched the black abyss and white flowers in her hand, and took the lead to gallop towards the depths of the snow mountain.

The three of Cheng Lixue followed closely behind, and with the speed of all of them being Valkyries above A-level, it only took a while to enter the depths of the continuous snow-capped mountains.

"Huh? Wait, this...is this a vine?!"

Shi Yuqiluo felt that her feet were bound, looked at her feet, and suddenly let out a strange cry.

"Quick! Jump to the heights!"

Cecilia also noticed the vines on her feet, and was stunned for a moment, and then felt that the collapse energy of her physical strength was being lost, so she yelled quickly, cut off the vines with the black abyss and white flowers, and flew upwards.

"Wow, wow, help Lixue!"

"Okay, take it and don't move!"

Cheng Lixue cut the vines with Ruoshui helplessly, and jumped to a high place with Shi Yuqiluo in his arms.

"Is this a living...forest?"

On the other side, Salome, who was already in the air, looked at the thick and thick vines that continued to spread in the snow-capped mountains, and she couldn't help being dumbfounded after seeing all kinds of Houkai beasts.

"It's not the forest, it's the trees... huge, trees, those vines, the roots."

Cecilia observed the strange phenomenon in front of her with a solemn expression.

"Don't tell me this thing is the legendary World Tree..."

Shi Yuqiluo's lips trembled a few times.

"It seems that it is."

Cheng Lixue nodded, as if thinking of something,

"In that case, the Black Dragon is really a hero... After all, this World Tree is undoubtedly the so-called Judgment-level Honkai Beast."

"I don't know if Black Dragon is a hero, but obviously we can't let this guy continue to grow."

Salome frowned,

"But……"

"Stand back... this time I may have to do it myself."

Cecilia holds tightly the black abyss and white flowers,
