Honkai Impact: Capturing the Little Herrschers starting with Sirin

Just like the hand that the girl extended at this moment was not for the goose herself.

She took light steps, and her agile body like an elf passed by Bai Mo, pulling up the cowardly and self-abased girl behind her.

"My name is Alicia. Remember this name. When you feel unhappy, just recite it in your heart. In fact, you can also shout it out loud. That will make me very happy."

"Don't worry, although Alicia is shy, she will respond to every brave child."

"What? You said that wasn't brave."

"Is that what you think? But... that's not right. There aren't many people in the base who can shout "Ailixia!" loudly."

"Even Mobius rarely does this, so... do you want to try it?" (staring) (slightly expectant)

That day...

Yes, that was my first encounter with Alicia.

It was also the first time that someone entered my heart.

So, think about why Alicia was able to walk into my heart so directly and without any hindrance at that time?

Because of that game?

Because of that false memory?

no no……

Maybe it's because I depend on her.

Just like how Kiana and the others depend on me.

I think... I can trust her unconditionally.

pat!

Bai Mo walked into the next carriage.

"come here."

"That's strange. Why didn't Alicia come with you to the infirmary today?"

"Look at this injury. I've seen many soldiers, and you... (looking him up and down) are not even as good as those with broken legs in my lab."

"Instead of this, you might as well listen to me and be my experimental subject."

"Technological advancement and genetic mutation, have you heard of it?"

"I have a combination of both here, maybe you can become the lucky one."

"Tsk! Crying again! How annoying!"

"It's always like this. Except for Alicia, everyone else lowers their head when they talk to you. They keep their head down when they talk to you! If they say anything more, they look like they're about to cry."

"Even though you are like this, Alicia still said you are an excellent warrior."

"Oh...you don't really believe it, do you?"

"What? Are you unhappy?"

"Want to cry?"

"Don't cry, come to me, I will help you become stronger, so that you can pin Alicia to the ground."

"How's it going? Are you excited?"

Mebius...

Looking back now, I don't know when it started, but Mebius began to pay too much attention to himself.

Perhaps, she noticed her own peculiarity earlier than Mei.

But now thinking about it, I might understand why I was still so afraid of and even hated Mobius despite having that memory.

When we first met, her words were really hurtful, and it was undoubtedly a torture for me at that time.

But at that time...why didn't she think more about the reason?

Why would the eccentric Mobius spend so much time talking to the guy who was generally recognized as the most useless and worthless person in the base at that time?

After all, even as an experimental subject, she was not qualified at that time.

Perhaps, she wanted to use this method to change her cowardly self.

I walked along this road and passed by myself, who was injured in training, but was caught by Mebius on the way to the infirmary, either out of bad luck or on purpose. In the end, I didn't dare to cry in front of him after being scolded, and could only go back and hide in the quilt to secretly drop the little pearl.

Bai Mo said nothing and pushed open the door of the next carriage.

"Ellie, I..."

"Don't be afraid, Bai, don't look to the side, look at me, look into my eyes."

"You saved her, you didn't do anything wrong."

"Forget those images and look at Alicia."

"Aren't Alicia's eyes beautiful? If you want to see them, just take a closer look. But remember to praise me more after that."

……

Standing on the land after the collapse, the surroundings are devastated.

Bai Mo saw a scene that was particularly profound in her fifty thousand years of memory.

He killed his companion who was about to become a dead soldier with his own hands.

That day, amidst the flames and ruins, she knelt on the ground with her empty eyes open.

Beside her were the bodies of her dead comrades, her body was covered in blood that was still warm, and in front of her was the girl who had always encouraged her, never given up, never abandoned her, and always protected her with a smile.

War is cruel, and everyone will experience it and then die in a certain collapse.

Or...

Killed by the people around him.

Then your comrades will bear the responsibility for your death.

So that day, Alicia kept comforting this already fragile girl, hoping that she, who was so weak at that time that she was not worthy of being called a warrior, could overcome it all.

But that was also the first time that the girl's words seemed so pale and powerless.

Because that beautiful flower will also be dyed red with blood.

Her smile, her true self...

It doesn't always work that way.

So it was also on that day that Bai Mo began to crave power and desire to become stronger.

Because she suddenly remembered that the girl in front of her, whom she regarded as the only one, would also die.

"If shooting me like this could save the world, would you?"

It was as if those words echoed in my ears.

Bai Mo said nothing, just stood there quietly, looking at the two girls kneeling on the ground hugging each other in front of him.

Compared with the picture at this moment, her white wedding dress is so dazzling.

The girl crying in Alicia's arms and the bodies of her dead comrades beside her formed such a picture, and...

It will be engraved in Bai Mo's heart forever.

pat!

Go into the next car.

And at the same time…close the door behind you.

Unlike before, this time she leaned against the door behind her and remained silent for a long time.

The reflection of the past could not bind her, just like the steps she took again after the silence at this moment, which never stopped.

"They are dead..."

"It's not your fault."

"Shiro, listen to me, you defeated the Herrscher."

"You are a hero."

"But……"

boom!

"Alishia, stay away from that monster!"

"and many more!"

"What are you doing? Are you covering up for her?! Do you know what you are doing now?!"

"She killed our warriors!"

"It was an accident. She was saving people. You all saw it. She defeated the Herrscher!"

"She is more terrifying than the Herrscher! Didn't you see it? She tore that Herrscher into pieces!"

The chaotic voices were mixed with roars, questions, accusations and insults.

That was the day...

She remembered the thin figure standing in front of her.

When the whole world was afraid of her, when everyone pointed their guns at her, she was the only one who stood in front of her.

She is the only one...

Maybe...it would be better if she died on that day.

But she survived.

Was it a blessing or a curse for her to be alive at that time?

Bai Mo didn’t know, even now, she still didn’t know.

But she will survive.

Because only she herself understood that Alicia on that day...

How much I hope I can survive.
