Time in a collapsing world

Walking on the street with the communicator in hand, passers-by didn't see Yae Ri at all. Even if a carriage accidentally hit him, it would go straight through him, as if he had turned into a phantom.

"Wei Wei has a new invention and she said she needs your participation in the experiment."

The image of Su displayed on the instrument told Yae Li the news about many companions scattered around the world, and conveyed invitations from certain people.

"Let her find Kevin. He's like me, and he can't kill that guy either."

Yae Li knew Velvet's character very well. The invention she mentioned was probably the same type as [Arming Kevin]. In other words, it was [Arming Yae Li]. Didn't Mei assign her any mission? So free?

"Vilvi is now working with Mebius, but Mebius doesn't like her."

"Don't even mention Mobius. Look, I'm also staying away from her. Su, aren't you being harassed by her too little?"

"Maybe. I'm still in another world bubble. No one will come in for now."

There were fallen leaves behind Su, and he seemed to be lying under a big tree.

"Any progress in the observation?"

Yaeli asked casually.

"The result is zero. Even though the world is endless, no one has ever survived the collapse or the end."

Su picked up a fallen leaf, which seemed to reflect a burning world. A figure was floating in the sky, with golden pupils and snow-white hair. It was the image of the Ruler of the End.

"Then come on, I'll come see you when I'm free. You'll get sick if you stay in one place all the time without anyone to accompany you." Yaeri said in a leisurely tone.

"Kevin came to see me a month ago. Did he...take back the Holy Tribunal of Heavenly Fire?"

"Oh, Mebius brought it."

"It was originally my suggestion that Kevin leave the Holy Fire Judgement to his descendants temporarily... but now that it has been taken back, forget it."

"..."

As they were chatting, a figure suddenly ran past Yaeri. The figure was so fast that if Yaeri had not reacted in time and grabbed the wrist of the person who passed by her, she would have missed him.

"Ying, are you running so fast to find someone?"

After turning off the communicator, Yaeri's body reappeared and she looked at her sister who almost cut her hand with a knife out of anger.

"Brother? Aren't you with Kallen?"

Lowering her head, Yaezakura blinked and sheathed the Sakura Blizzard again.

"Who said that? I've been with Otto the whole time... So you're back today? Is your training over? Are you hurt?" Yaeri looked up and down at Yaezakura.

"No, everything is easy. Besides, with Sister Janek by my side, it's easy to deal with those Honkai beasts~"

Yaezakura held Yaeri's hand and they walked home. "But I still need to send a letter back to Sister Janek. She also wants to ask about Sister Shura and the others' situation."

"They are all doing well. Didn't I ask Uncle Francis to help them out? Now they are all doing simple patrol work in the city... Oh, except for Chani, who has honestly inherited the family business."

After the great beast tide, all the members of the Night Raid Team, except for Captain Janek, really did as Yaeri had expected. They left the front line and lived quietly in the city.

Although patrol work generally does not earn military merit, it is safer. Unless the Honkai beasts invade the city again, there is no need to fight for your life.

"By the way, is the captain really not coming down? The position of the patrol team leader in charge of our house has been prepared for her."

"Sister Janek said we may have to wait another two years. Even if we recruit a lot of people from other countries, there won't be enough soldiers on the front line."

Yaesakura shook her head. She had been training on the front lines for several months, but every time she went to the cafeteria to eat, she only saw the same few faces coming and going, and the seats were almost never filled.

"Recruiting from other countries... we don't have to worry about a few more spies appearing..."

The streets were bustling with people in the afternoon, with vendors hawking their wares at their stalls, some selling fresh bread and fruit, others displaying handmade pottery and ironware. The air was filled with the tempting aroma from bakeries, the aroma of wine from taverns in the distance, and the smell of dust raised by horses and pedestrians passing by.

Yaezakura was a little hungry, and her stomach was growling. Facing Yaeri's gaze, her face turned slightly red.

"Let me guess... maybe you missed two meals?"

There was helplessness and a slight reproach in Yaeri's tone.

"Um……"

Yaesakura didn't say anything. In order to come back early to see her brother today, she almost put everything behind her.

"Buy some bread first, and I'll give you a big meal in the evening."

"Brother, can't you just conjure up food?" Yaezakura was a little surprised.

"Let's give some support to those uncles and aunts who sell things. We are not short of money anyway, it's the same for everyone."

Yaeri pulled her sister's hand and moved it in another direction. "According to my recent observations, there is a bakery that has the best quality bread, and the owner is also very kind."

Yaezakura nodded and followed Yaeri's steps. The two walked through the bustling crowd and came to a bakery that looked simple but clean. There were several baskets at the door of the bakery, filled with bread of various shapes and flavors, exuding a tempting aroma.

"Hello, we need two sweet breads and a glass of milk." Yaeri said to the bakery owner in a gentle and polite voice.

The bakery owner was a middle-aged man with a friendly smile on his face. He quickly picked out two of the freshest-looking sweet breads from the basket, poured a glass of milk from the bucket next to him, and handed it to Yae.

"Thank you for your patronage, Mr. Yae." The boss said with a smile. It was obvious that Yae was also a regular customer here.

Yae Li paid the bill, and then took Yae Sakura to a quiet corner to sit down. He handed the bread and milk to his sister, and watched her finish one, then bite off half, and then stopped, "Brother, do you want to eat some too?"

"No, I don't need it. I've already had breakfast and lunch. Besides, there's your saliva on it."

"Hmm... I clearly ate a rice ball when I was a kid..." Yaesakura stuffed the remaining half of the bread into her mouth angrily.

"..."

Yaeri looked at his sister's soft lips covered with bread crumbs, rubbed his brows, and thought of the bad memories again.

"Brother, you look so unnatural."

"You're wrong."

"Impossible, my eyesight is very good now!"

"..."

Yaeri asked the boss to bring another piece of bread to cover Yaesakura's mouth.
