Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

Patophilis pointed it out to Gratio, her words filled with pride.

"Well, I saw it, Sister Padu, it's very interesting."

"Haha~ I still have a lot of good things, I'll show you later!"

"Ok."

.....

The opening of gifts continued, and next was the cute dress Alicia gave to Gratio.

Ellie held up gestures in her hands and marked on Gracie's body, making Gracie look like Little Red Riding Hood.

At this time, Xilin quietly walked over and whispered to Long: "What's wrong, Dad!"

"what happened?"

"I didn't bring Gratio a birthday present. This is my tenth birthday!"

The father and daughter came together and whispered.

Long smiled slightly and said: "You are a teenage girl now, so there is no need to be so anxious."

Xilin shook her head hurriedly: "No, she is the younger sister and I am the older sister."

"Is that so..." After Long thought for a while, he clicked on a pair of hairpins on Xilin's hair and said, "How about one hairpin for Gray? This is your favorite, right?"

Siren also thought about it.

She was reluctant to give it as a gift at first. After all, this pair of crystal hairpins could have been given to her by Long and Alicia in the world before she came a long time ago. Other sisters also had such a pair.

But...Gratio is the daughter of old friends between her father and Ellie's mother, who were life and death comrades in the past.

Even if she is not his biological sister, even if she is actually much older than him...

But now she is a sister.

After thinking about it, Xilin decided to give it away.

Then he took off one of the crystal flower hairpins from the pair, came to Graciu and said, "Graciu, this is your birthday gift from your sister. There are only two of them in this world."

"Ah...thank you, sister Xilin." Graciu was surprised and took it from Xilin's hand.

After pinning it on her hair, she looked at Xilin: "Sister Xilin, does it look good?"

"Good-looking, very good-looking, so cute, Gratius!"

"Thank you."

Siren's compliment made Gracie's expressionless face turn red.

This makes the atmosphere very lively.

...

"Hey...! Sister Eden's big gem!" Patrophilis looked at Gracie's newly opened gift and muttered in surprise: "This is probably the best and biggest one."

Such abundant funds made everyone feel embarrassed.

"Wow...it's so beautiful." Graciu picked up the huge gem and looked at the light refracted in it under the light. Then he put it down again and picked up the well-protected gem inside the box. The classical record says, "Aunt Eden, thank you for your song."

"No...thanks, Gratius...hiccup!" Eden smiled slightly and covered his mouth in embarrassment.

She was not a fusion warrior, so she couldn't help but belch, and continued to talk drunkenly: "That record contains some of my favorite songs that I have chosen since I debuted."

"It should be... the only record in the world."

Destobia was surprised: "That's really a treasure."

"Wow, Eden, this is too precious..." Blanca subconsciously opened her mouth and looked at Eden.

At this moment, she was already a little drunk. She lay down on the sofa next to her and drunkenly looked at Gracie swaying the goblet in her hand: "If Gracie is so cute, I have nothing to offer." ”

"Gratius, how about giving Auntie a painting?"

"Okay-", Gracie responded cutely.

"Ah, you are indeed my good Eden." Ellie picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Eden and said, "That's very generous."

"Thanks for the compliment, Ellie."

Brand new branches: 400. Obtain the approval of "Cocoon"

"teacher.."

"Yeah, Kosma."

Cosmo, Kevin and Hen came out one after another. After finishing the kitchen, they also brought wine, juice or drinks.

Kosmo also walked towards Long with two glasses in hand.

But what he got was juice, and what he got for Ron was a glass of champagne.

Like Long, he leaned against the window of the living room and looked at the fussing scene with Gracie opening gifts in the middle, but his eyes were more focused on one of the blond girls - Destobia.

Long noticed Cosmo's gaze and remembered what he had mentioned in the chat a few days ago. He smacked Cosmo's juice and asked, "Have you told her?"

"Her?" Kosmo was caught off guard and didn't recover.

"No..." Takashi raised his chin towards Destobia.

"..." Cosmo understood, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he sipped the juice and whispered: "She agreed."

"Huh?" Long became interested and continued to ask: "What do you promise?"

"..." Kosmo blinked and looked at Long, with an expression that seemed to say, "What are you asking? How could you not know."

Long raised the corner of his mouth a little: "Promising you is too much. Promise you to be friends? Or to have a relationship? Or to get married?"

"Or maybe I'll flag you and promise to be together after the Honkai Impact is over?"

"That's too much~"

"..." Kosmo covered his forehead helplessly.

As for Long's tendency to be funny sometimes, his classmates had already experienced it, and everyone was speechless.

He put down his arms and said: "...I think she and I should be in a relationship."

"But I don't have any real sense. We were still like this in the past, and we are still like this now."

"This relationship doesn't seem to be what it says on the Internet. I feel it's not as good as the previous relationship between me and Destobia."

"Then what do you think your previous relationship was?" Long suddenly asked.

Kosmo was stunned for a moment, and then said after several seconds: "Probably... we will never be separated in this life."

"It's over now. Whether you're in love or not doesn't make any qualitative difference to you, and even if it changes, it can't compare to the connection you've already formed."

"Aren't you satisfied, Kosma?"

"The intimacy of the connection between you has exceeded what most people in the world desire~"

After saying that, Long raised his glass again and wanted to clink it with Kosmo.

"...No, contentment." Kosmo said, raising his cup and touching it with Long, and they took a sip at the same time.

At this time, Aili's voice came over, calling Long over.

It seems that his gift has arrived.

Even though it was wrapped in gift tape, the painting bag was still very big.

They made room for Long, so that Long could bring the heavy gift to Gratius and open it together.

This gift also surprised Gratius.

"Uncle Long, can Grexiu use these paints to paint a picture for Aunt Eden?" Graxiu looked at Long who was standing aside with the painting tools.

Long rubbed Graciu's head: "Of course, these painting tools and paints belong to Gratiu."

"Well, Gracie knows."

......

Late at night came, and Gratio's birthday party also came to a halt.

Everyone should disperse as well.

Xilin was in the middle of the two, holding the hands of Long and Aili, one on the left and the other on the right.

The family happily walked on the main road in the main base.

Xilin, who has grown up and is smart, seems to have really returned to her teenage appearance at this moment. She is as happy as a little girl.

They even had to play a game of "hoisting the plane" with their own arms between Long and Ellie.

The whole world seems to be very peaceful today. There are no sounds of dispatches from the entire base. Only the voices of shift personnel and night training personnel are heard in some areas.

The large base residential area is very peaceful.

Xilin is also very stable today, having learned from Long how to cover up her Herrscher fluctuations.

As expected, there was no sign among everyone.

In this way, Xilin, who has a new identity, can walk around openly.

He can even bring Bella back and transform into something like an armed doll to disguise herself.

After a while, they also returned to the dormitory.

However, due to the limited size of the bed, Long had to sleep on the sofa.

After Xilin finished taking a bath, Aili changed her pajamas and she went to take a bath.

And Long took a hair dryer in the living room to dry Xilin's long hair, while the father and daughter chatted.

"Dad, what's going on in the world?"

"This is the situation..." The smooth purple hair in Long's hands continued to fall like water. He turned down the hair dryer and said, "It's a good world, because I am the Herrscher of the End."

"Hey? Dad, did you get a "cocoon"? "

"Well, so Xilin, I actually knew it when you came here."

"Ah, no wonder. I just said that the gems I brought are all gone." Sirin slapped her palms lightly and said: "In the world before us, the "cocoon" has been completely integrated into the earth. With humans, no physical existence can be found... In other words, everyone is part of the "cocoon" that completes its growth. However, by connecting imaginary numbers, the existence of the Herrscher's core and power can be maintained, and everyone can be a brand new person in the future. And mature "cocoon"

"So I can still have all the powers of the Herrscher. I have traveled to many parallel worlds along the history, although each time I enter, the powers will be disabled for a period of time."

"But it's okay, there is no danger."

Long nodded: "Well... I probably understand what's going on with you, Sirin."

"What's going on?" Siren responded curiously.

"Because when you go back along the old "branch", the "cocoon" in that period of time actually has no owner, so the power will not be controlled. You only need to go through a period of adaptation certification to start again. Get strength from "cocoon". "

"But Xilin, you are entering this new "branch", and it is almost at the initial point..."

"The "cocoon" here has long been controlled by your father and I, and then I tightened the flow of Honkai energy and kept it at the minimum level required to maintain the test mechanism. "

"Xilin, you came to this world with so many Herrscher cores. The supply of Honkai energy you need is huge. The limit I set for "Cocoon" will inevitably trigger a defense mechanism and subconsciously cut it off. Your Honkai Energy and Power supply. "

"In other words..."

Xilin took over the words: "Is that why I can't feel the presence of the Herrscher's core in my body?"

"Yes, the core of the Herrscher seems to be a real existence, but its essence is the projection of the power of the Herrscher in the end."

"The gem in Siren's body is at the point where it has disappeared but not really disappeared, as long as the "permission" is obtained again. "

Brand new branches: 401. Situation in the old world

Xilin nodded: "That means I can activate it as long as I obtain the Herrscher power that appears one after another in this world according to the mechanism, right?"

"That's why, only the power of Herrscher of Space, which I have turned into instinct, can still be used. Essentially, it's because I bypassed the "cocoon" and connected the imaginary numbers to preserve it... Or in fact, I The current power of the Herrscher of the Sky is essentially a copy of his own power rather than the power projected by the Herrscher of the End, right dad? "

Long put down the hair dryer, stroked Xilin's smooth purple hair and said: "It's like this. The essence of the "Herrscher Power of the Sky" that you have shown before has not been recognized as the Herrscher of this world. That is to say, Not usable at all. "

"But the "evolution" I carried out for you in the old world made you both a part of the "cocoon" and independently connected to the emerging "Tree of Imaginary Numbers." Therefore, Sirin, you are now showing the creation and manipulation of the imaginary number space. The power is actually the power you obtain through imaginary numbers, rather than the power given to you by the "Cocoon". "

"Freely conform to the truth of the world and connect with my essence on the other side."

"This is true evolution, do you understand, my lovely daughter~"
