Time in a collapsing world

"Li, there will be a carriage heading to the front line tonight, you can go with them."

In the end, Kallen did not explain the reason to Yaeri, but deliberately changed the topic to other aspects.

"Well, thanks. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I'll try my best to help."

Although Yaeri was anxious, she couldn't afford to wait for a few hours, and it would take some time on the road to reach the front line.

As he said this, he personally cut a piece of cake and handed it to Karen's mouth as a thank you gift.

However, this action made Karin think wildly for a while. In the end, she blushed and directly used a fork to pick up a whole piece of cake and stuffed her mouth with it. She was too embarrassed to eat the cake handed to her by Yaeri.

Yaeri and Kallen sat on the soft bed. The former wanted to go see Otto, but her sister's affairs were more important, so she had to say sorry and wait patiently for the next trip at Kallen's house.

"Li, next time you can't just run away without saying anything like you did this time. If I hadn't dragged dad over here, Ying and Lin would have been hurt badly by you!"

As time went by, Kallen's mood gradually calmed down. Thinking of this incident, she immediately put on a stern face and taught him a lesson.

"I was only going to be away for a few days, but I didn't take the unexpected into account. It was indeed my fault. I won't do it again next time."

Yaeri nodded, humbly accepting Kallen's teachings.

Just looking at the other person who looked serious but still very cute, Yaeri couldn't help but smile.

This smile was caught by Kallen, who immediately widened her big blue eyes in anger.

But he soon remembered that despite Yaeri's appearance, he was older than him.

I was almost ignored because of my shyness before, but now Yaeri has become young again, her little face is so cute that water can be pinched out of it. She tilted her head back to control her smile, and listened carefully to my teachings. She really looks like a little sister being taught a lesson by her elder sister.

"Li~"

"Ok?"

"When do you think I'll be able to hold you as a baby?"

Kallen made a gesture of holding a baby, which made Yaeri's face darken.

"...Don't even think about it."

Anyway, Yaeri would never allow herself to become defenseless.

"I'm not simply growing backwards, it's caused by Honkai, so as long as I don't do anything stupid, I will still grow up like a normal person."

"Oh... what a shame."

Kallen really felt that this was pretty good. After all, it looked like Yaeri was simply getting younger and there were no other side effects. If others knew about this, she would probably be questioned frantically.

Ah... I seem to have heard that Li also became smaller once before, but it was because of the Honkai beast in the sea?

Dad mentioned that the Apocalis family even formed a special fleet to go to the place where Yaeki's ship was attacked by the Honkai beast, to track down the trace of the sea beast?

That’s right, the bishops of the Vatican are already very old, so they are eager to find a way to prolong their lives.

Yaeri is now younger again, which means that there may be more ways to prolong life in Honkai than imagined.

If the bishop finds out, he will probably find someone to track him down at all costs, right?

But why doesn't Dad get involved?

He obviously looks like an uncle already, and in a few years he will have white hair and beard, just like an old grandfather.

"Hey, Li, can you tell me in detail what kind of Honkai beast attacked you this time and turned you into this?"

Kallen had no idea that this matter itself was a lie, and it was just a statement made by Yaeri to cover up the truth. She blinked her eyes curiously.

"Are you interested too? Then let me recall..."

Then, Yaeri racked her brains to make up stories, adapting her experience of traveling to Shenzhou in various ways, piecing them together into various fairy tales of pre-civilizations, and she couldn't stop telling the stories.

Karen listened very carefully at first, hoping to find clues that could prevent her father from becoming an old man, but the more she listened, the more immersed she became.

Yaeri's experience was just like a story in a novel. It was only a few days, but he told it as a legendary adventure of several months or even years. It also suited Kallen's taste very well.

So the little white-haired girl completely forgot her purpose and just listened to it as if she was listening to a story.

Until the sunset gradually disappeared.

"..."

"Hey, Li, don't stop. Tell me what happened to the nine-headed snake that escaped from Taixu Mountain? Was it suppressed by you and the immortals?"

Seeing Yaegiri suddenly stop, Kallen, who hadn't heard enough, immediately urged her.

By the way, does every little girl like listening to stories?

It's the same whether it's Yae Rin or Kallen.

"That's about right. Anyway, at the critical moment, the immortal pointed to the sky, thunder roared, and the Hydra was chopped into charcoal...Okay, Kallen, I heard a carriage outside. Let's go and see if it's the one you mentioned."

It was originally just to kill time, and after hearing the noise, Yaeri immediately chose to end the story hastily.

"Eh~ I feel like the ending of your story is a bit perfunctory..."

Kallen was a little dissatisfied, but she still stood up and walked to the window to look out. She observed the military logo on a carriage parked outside the door and said, "Yes, it's the carriage going to the front line. Li, you can go with it."

"Then I'm leaving. See you later."

Yaezaki walked out of the room.

"I'll take you there. You also need to tell the sisters in the carriage, otherwise they won't recognize you. By the way... can you tell me in detail what happened to the giant snake after it died? For example, how was the body disposed of?"

"Hmm... Wait a minute, let me edit it..."

"Uh-huh!"

Kallen and Yaeri left the room and closed the door.

The two people's voices were slowly fading away.

Afterwards, Yaeri casually talked about the daily life of immortals to satisfy Kallen's desire to listen to stories, and then stopped talking.

They were already outside the door.

The driver of the carriage at the door was a girl with loose white hair, obviously also from the Kaslana family, but she didn't look like a warrior, so she might just be a coachman.

Through the window of the carriage, one can see two other people inside, both of them Valkyries in uniform, with a lance and a broadsword tied to the top of the carriage, looking like they have been temporarily called up to the battlefield.

And this is indeed the case. When Kallen was talking to the charioteer Valkyrie, Yaeri also heard some information.

The situation at the front line is not optimistic. A large number of people were assigned to go around the beast tide and raid several high-level Honkai beasts to capture the leader first.

The result of this plan is that the pressure on the defenders increases, and they need to continuously increase their troops to make up for the casualties.
