Honkai, the behind-the-scenes simulator

[No matter who it is, seeing this kind of battle, it will only feel difficult to intervene. 】

【You and the rest of the saints of the "Masquerade Ball" only use your own spiritual power as reinforcements through spiritual links. 】

[As for the reinforcements that arrived from the Flaming Moth, all they could do was watch from a distance, and it seemed that they didn't have the ability to provide reinforcements under such circumstances. 】

【After all, ordinary people will die just by touching the black mist that pervades the battlefield. 】

[The scene of the frontal battle is even more difficult to believe that this is a battle between humans and the Herrscher, it's just like...

[Two, Lawrence. 】

【The girl wielding the scythe was covered in a black mist that could cause destruction. The black wings on her back were hideous and twisted, like a shadow of disaster that symbolized death. 】

【And the silver-haired girl on the opposite side is holding a cross that can be said to be the embodiment of her own soul, and every strand of hair fluttering is shrouded in a faint light. 】

[The two are clearly fighting each other, and the distance is so close that occasionally even the picture of flying hair intertwined can be seen. 】

[However, there is such a clear distinction between each other, as if it is used as a dividing line to divide two worlds that are opposed to each other. 】

[The scarlet eyes full of madness and the pure and blazing azure eyes stared at each other wordlessly. 】

[However, both parties can clearly understand the meaning contained in each other's eyes. 】

[That is to completely destroy each other. 】

【finally......】

[When the intensity of the battle reached its peak, it was suddenly pulled to the end by one of them. 】

[The "Riser" who acts as the agent of disaster, and the "Saint" who stands here relying on everyone's wishes. 】

[If this battle continues for too long, it is obvious who will be disadvantaged in the end. 】

【Therefore, Teresa chose to end the battle quickly. 】

【The victory was finally on her side. 】

【Or.....】

【It is natural for her to win. 】

【As she said to Herrscher who stole the body of her former friend before her. 】

【That light...is not yours. 】

[The incarnation of disaster is bound by the golden chain extending from the cross. 】

[If it is an ordinary chain, no matter how strong the material used is, it is a joke to the Herrscher who can endow the material with death. 】

[However, the product of the materialization of the mind, even the Herrscher who holds what can be said to be the power of death, is helpless in a short period of time. 】

[Subconsciously, she was about to tear her body apart—this kind of thing was not unheard of in previous battles. 】

【but--】

【Please, Seele.】

【Teresa said softly towards the fragments of emotions that are connected to each other. 】

【Then, she raised her hand, pierced through the thick black mist, and reached out to the Herrscher who was the embodiment of disaster. 】

[I don't want to see someone get hurt, I don't want to see someone cry. 】

[I don't want to see someone sad, I don't want to see someone die. 】

【so......】

[I will turn into a sword that penetrates many disasters, and I will turn into a chain that restrains all kinds of atrocities. 】

【A blazing fire flickered in the azure eyes, Teresa gently pressed her former friend's forehead with her hand. 】

【"That's it, let's end."】

[Humanity has successfully crossed the sixth great collapse. 】

【You are silent, looking at the two girls. 】

[In other words, the silver-haired girl quietly embraced her friend's body in her arms. 】

[Soundlessly, tears flowed from her eyes. 】

【"Seele, the link has been lost."】

【"Currently linked to—Twelve bodies."】

【"Is this something from your research institute? I seem to see the logo of your research institute on it."】

【You who watched this scene quietly, heard a girl's cautious voice behind you. 】

【"The mark on the sticker above seems to be on the reagent bottle of L-enkephalin every time."】

【You turn around speechlessly. 】

[Behind him is a girl with light pink hair and a pretty face who looks like an elf who came out of a fairy tale. 】

[It's Alicia. 】

[However, even if it is her, it is impossible to show her previous enthusiastic and energetic posture under this situation. 】

【Instead, he carefully considered his words, as if he was afraid that his words would make mistakes and irritate others. 】

【You look at the thing in Alicia's hand. 】

[It is a small electronic device that can be said to be in a state of wreckage, and the internal components and wires are exposed from the broken shell. 】

【"Although it seems to be broken, I think, maybe—"】

[You are silent for a while. 】

[Then, stretch out your hand. 】

【"Well, she is ours."】

【You stretched out your hand and took over the completely damaged small camera, your words were extraordinarily calm. 】

【"It is an item that our companion accidentally lost."】

【"Anyway, even if you encounter this kind of thing, please be sorry..."】

【Alicia pondered her words, and subconsciously seemed to want to say something. 】

[Seeing the other party standing there quietly, she couldn't help but become extremely sad in her heart, and wanted to comfort the other party. 】

[Obviously...the contact with each other is not too much. 】

[Even, when I saw the other party for the first time, I subconsciously felt vigilant and cautious. 】

[However, when she saw the other party standing there quietly, she subconsciously walked over. 】

【She can feel the sourness in her eyes. 】

[Alysia has a good relationship with everyone in Flame Chasing Moth on weekdays, and she would feel sad if she knew that someone had died unfortunately. 】

[But even in the past, the feeling of sourness does not seem to be as strong as it is today. 】

[Moreover, the main source of this sense of sadness is not the victims of the collapse, but was triggered when they saw the other party standing silently. 】

[If it didn't feel like this was too abrupt, Alicia might not be able to hold her and cry. 】

【Alicia bit her lip lightly. 】

【Perhaps, the other party needs my own comfort...】

[Alicia thinks so. 】

【but......】

【With your back to Alicia, you lower your head slightly and stare at the wreckage of the camera in your hand. 】

[On this camera, the ditch-shaped diagram that marks the brain and the letter "L" represent your research institute. 】

[This sticker was pasted on this camera by yourself. 】

[There is no expression on your face. 】

[You put away this completely damaged camera. 】

【You speak softly, without any warmth in your words. 】

【"I know, after all, this world itself is like this."】

【Yes. 】

【this world. 】

[It's like this. 】

[This is your opinion. 】

【After saying this, you fell silent again. 】

【but......】

[Alysia, who is standing behind you, seems to find it difficult to accept this seemingly calm appearance. 】

【She didn't even know why before, but she suddenly felt pity and sadness for you in her heart. 】

【But now, following your words and your extremely calm tone, the previous distress has completely turned into unspeakable anger in an instant. 】

【Even she herself doesn't know where the anger in her heart comes from. 】

[Just for a moment, Alicia already felt that it was difficult to control her emotions. 】

【"You said... the world is like this?"】

【She knows exactly what happened here. 】

[The original companion, the girl with good wishes, has transformed into a Herrscher with malice and desire to destroy the world. 】

【Then, I have to regard it as an enemy and destroy it. Shouldn't my heart be filled with sadness and anger? 】

【However, what Alicia can hear from your words is calmness. 】

[As if, even if this kind of thing happened, it was just as it should be, it was a natural thing. 】

[It seems that in this world, even if this kind of thing happens, it is normal, and there is no need to be surprised. 】

【Why, you can accept it so calmly, such a sad thing happened in this world...】

【"You mean, in this world, even if such a thing happened, it is a matter of course!"】

【You paused a little. 】

【You turn your head and look at Alicia, looking at her eyes full of anger. 】

[I have to say that it is beyond your expectation that Alicia will show such an angry look in front of you. 】

【You realize that she may have misunderstood you. 】

[However, you can give an answer to her question, an answer from the heart. 】

【"Yes, in this world, even if something like this happens, even if something a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times crueler than this happens..."]

【"Of course."】

【"Because, this world is like this."】

【Feeling Alicia's sudden surge of anger again, you left without saying anything. 】

【You know, Alicia may have misunderstood you. 】

[These misunderstandings may cause you some trouble in the future. 】

[However, you still don't have the slightest idea of ​​explanation. 】

[Because you don't want to explain. 】

[The reason for this is that I don't care about other people's opinions, and it is because of... 】

【You are not an emotionless machine, and you don’t want to turn yourself into that. 】

[Just as Alicia felt extremely angry at this time, you are also in a bad mood. 】

【In this situation, you didn’t lower your head and patiently explain the meaning of your words to those who have misunderstood you. 】

[You can't do it. 】

【You don't care whether others misunderstand you or see yourself correctly. 】
