Time in a collapsing world

"It's true. The matter is very urgent. Destobia, you must believe me, right?"

Alicia's eyes were full of sincerity, but Destobia, who had been with her for a long time, knew one thing, that is, sincerity may not necessarily be true, and she had seen falsehoods many times.

"Captain, I also want to believe you, but I remember that your sweetheart is not that guy Li? His current state..."

"Eh? Destobia, do you actually know?"

Alicia covered her mouth, looking very surprised.

"...Captain, do you think this matter is still a secret?" Destobia said speechlessly.

"Huh? Is that so?" Hua opened his eyes wide.

"..."

Okay, here's another little dork.

"Then Destobia, aren't you also..."

"Enough is enough! Stop talking!"

Destobia interrupted Alicia, who was smiling evilly, and glanced at Hua, who was looking confused. She was not as shameless as her captain.

"So captain, why do you think that guy will get together with your good sister? I remember that guy is..."

"Are you with Xi, Eden, Little Pado and Theofel~?" Alicia reminded.

"Yes, it's them... huh? There are so many people?" Destobia was surprised.

And each one of them is Alicia’s good sister...

However, Destobia didn't worry too much and just regarded this as an excuse for Alicia to be lazy and run over to Li.

"Captain, you can't miss tomorrow's mission anyway. It's to defeat the temple-level Honkai Beasts. You may be in danger if you're not careful!"

"Destobia~? I believe you will not let your dear teammates get hurt. You must be able to protect them, right?"

"Although I will protect you..."

"Then I'll leave it to you, acting captain~?"

"what?"

Destobia watched dumbfoundedly as Alicia handed her the captain's badge.

"Captain, I don't accept it!"

"The protest is invalid~?"

Alicia pushed Destobia and drove her out of the room. Then Hua walked out on his own, and then the door was slammed shut.

"Hey! Captain, you..."

"I'll leave it to you tomorrow, acting captain."

Hua said to Destobia who was staring blankly at the closed door.

"Hua, please be the acting captain. Can you protect your teammates?"

"I?"

Faced with Destobia's request, Hua was a little at a loss. He didn't have the confidence but was not easy to refuse, so he could only say: "I... try my best?"

"..."

He couldn't trust her to protect his teammates.

"Forget it, I'll be back in just a few days, right? It doesn't matter if I'm the acting captain these days..."

There were only a few fusion warriors in the first team. Faced with such a situation, Destobia had no choice but to take on this mission, and the captain didn't seem to be able to convince her... Tsk, it's all that guy Li's fault!

"Go back, let's discuss it ourselves about tomorrow's mission..."

"it is good."

……

Early the next morning, in the hotel where Eden and Xi were staying, Xi slowly woke up from her dream, but not in her own room, but in Eden's room, and Xi was also wrapped in thin pajamas like a pillow. Eden was hugged tightly in his arms, unable to move.

So why does this happen?

"It seems like Sister Eden got us drunk last night?" Xi looked at Eden's peaceful sleeping face and recalled what happened last night.

Just when it was almost time, when Xi was about to go back to the bedroom to sleep, a waiter happened to bring midnight snacks and red wine in on a cart, so Eden used this as an excuse to keep Xi.

"Xi, try some. The new red wine and the specialties of this island are the types you haven't tasted during the day~"

"Huh? I don't..."

Before Xi could refuse, Eden had already asked for two glasses and filled them with red wine.

"..."

Sister Eden seems a little tough today...

So Huxi still drank, but she was not drunk. Eden was drunk first. After all, the other party would take a sip every time he finished a sentence, so he drank more.

"Xi, please stay here tonight, I will tell you a story~"

Eden blushed, hugged Xi's neck, and said in a soft voice.

"Sister Eden, no, it's too crowded for two people to sleep together..." Xi twisted her body, trying to shirk away.

"It doesn't matter, the bed in the room is very big, and..."

"and?"

"It feels a little lonely to sleep alone..."

Eden showed a lonely expression, and Xi immediately softened his heart and stayed.

……

"I'm sorry, big brother..."

"What are you talking about? This situation also gave me an advantage." Li said nonchalantly. After many experiences, it doesn't matter even if someone hugs him and sleeps all night.

"Brother, your voice sounds a little listless...?"

"Well... I accidentally stayed up all night..."

"Brother, you really still care about being held by Sister Eden, right?"

"...Yeah, I counted more than 10,000 sheep and didn't even fall asleep."

"..."

No wonder I heard the sound of "one sheep, two sheep..." in my sleep, which lasted all night, and I thought it was an auditory hallucination.

"Well……"

Eden groaned softly, opened his eyes, met Xi's eyes, was stunned for a second, and then smiled: "Good morning, Xi."

"Good morning, sister Eden~"

"Good morning, Li."

"..."

At the dining table, the four people of Chasing Fire Moth were eating breakfast. During this period, Xi and Eden couldn't help but look at Padu frequently, because her hand holding the spoon was shaking like Parkinson's disease, and it was impossible to take a normal sip of porridge. Extravagant hope.

"Sister Padu, do you want me to feed you?"

"I want...ah no, forget it..."

Feeling Teofel's eager gaze, Pado thought of yesterday's torture.

Sister Fei's temper is too bad. Even though she has no expression on her face, she is unambiguous when it comes to torturing people. Anyway, Pado will not dare to tease her in the future.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Eden looked at Theophel, who had not touched his breakfast.

"Need not."

Theophel shook his head.

"By the way, Sister Fei didn't eat yesterday, right? She doesn't drink water...doesn't she really feel hungry?" Pado also said.

"Huh? Didn't Sister Theofel eat yesterday?" Xi said in surprise.

"..."

Seeing that the topic was drifting in an unpleasant direction, Li quickly came out to smooth things over: "She doesn't like eating in front of others."

"Is that so... I'll ask the waiter to deliver breakfast to your room later?" Eden said.

"But Sister Fei didn't even touch the food she delivered to the room yesterday... Uh-huh!"

After being glanced at by Li, Theofel immediately understood and covered Pado's mouth with his hand.
