Honkai, the behind-the-scenes simulator

[If she chooses to leave here, then you will also treat her as if she never came here. 】

【You didn't pay too much attention to her, you just quietly added more defenses to your research institute, then put the core of the Herrscher of Restraint into the suitcase, handed it to Prometheus to carry it, and then went out. 】

[The moment she sensed that someone opened the door, the girl who was still wandering outside hid almost reflexively, hiding her figure. 】

【Then, secretly annoyed at his subconscious action just now. 】

[Why should I hide all of a sudden! 】

【Alicia was depressed and hummed softly. 】

[Actually, she was wondering if she should confess her true identity. 】

[Just for now, I am still hesitating for the time being. 】

[Is it really a good thing to explain your identity at this time?In this regard, even Alicia is not completely sure. 】

【She is not sure, if her identity is exposed at this time, what kind of changes will be brought to the flame moth. 】

[Whether this will be a good thing or a bad thing, no one can tell. 】

[With the severe situation of Moth Chasing Flame today, it has already fallen into the rut of a crisis of trust. 】

[At first, this organization may have been established in the name of fighting against the collapse, and it also attracted many people who came here with ideals and passion. 】

[However, with the performance of Chasing Moth in many major collapses, it seems that there are not a few fighters and various members who will criticize the current organization. 】

[What's more, today's Moth Chasing Flame, because of the tragic lessons of the Great Crash, has already fallen into Herrscher PTSD. 】

[Just being a Herrscher cannot be accepted by most people. 】

[From this point of view, even if she wants to confess her identity with good intentions, it may not necessarily bring good results. 】

【not to mention......】

[I confessed this matter to you. 】

【She doesn't even know the purpose of your actions, but only knows from your mouth that if your plan is completed, then when she sees you again, she will do her best to kill you. 】

【She doesn't know what kind of thoughts you have, but she can know that you are planning something that she doesn't want to see. 】

[On the premise of knowing this, Alicia realizes that she has to stop you even if she doesn't know the whole picture of the plan. 】

[With these factors, if she can trust you, then I am afraid that no one will believe it at all, right? 】

【So, she must keep a little secret that can come in handy at critical moments~】

【"Sure enough, let's forget about confessing your identity~"】

【"Hmm, keep a few little secrets, it should be the privilege of being a beautiful girl?"】

[The smile on the corner of Alicia's mouth reveals a bit of bitterness. 】

【"Although I don't want to admit it, but for you who always stand far away, it makes people feel elusive."】

【"Even after witnessing your disregard of life and death in order to defeat Houkai, I am still..."】

【"I can't trust you completely."】

[Since you are indeed doubting, what is the use of telling your secret frankly? 】

【Alicia withdrew her gaze from your back, and then looked at the gate of the institute. 】

[Your core research institute usually only has yourself and Prometheus, and now they are leaving together, so this time should theoretically be a good opportunity to sneak in. 】

【If you go in and investigate, you may have the opportunity to know the real secret of your plan, and what is the reason that makes me hate you so much that I want to kill you. 】

【However, she hesitated for a while, and finally chose to give up, turned and left. 】

[You glance at the miniature map displayed on the watch, and the red dots on the map that are gradually moving away. 】

【You know, this may mean that Alicia has left near your research institute. 】

【Alicia, what exactly is she looking for you for? 】

【I'm neither discussing anything with you, nor inquiring about information in your research institute. 】

[But you quickly put this matter aside for the time being, and have no time to pay attention to it. 】

[After all, there are still many things you need to deal with. 】

[When you were passing by Mebius' research institute, there was a voice of greeting from the side. 】

[This voice is slightly familiar, it sounds a little close but also naturally deserted. 】

【"Good afternoon, my lord."】

【You looked over, it was a girl with cherry pink long hair, with slender ears of the same color as the hair swaying gently on top of her head. 】

【The expression on the face is a bit cold, but the brows are able to show a bit of softness just right. 】

[The slender body is exquisitely wrapped in the special battle uniform of the Chasing Moth, especially the slender waist is outlined to highlight the beauty of flexibility. 】

【"Well, good afternoon, Sakura."】

[Your research institute has always been divided into two parts, namely the core research institute and several peripheral research rooms. 】

[The core research institute can be said to be all in charge and managed by you, and it is mainly engaged in projects such as T virus compilation, living skeleton transformation, artificial Herrscher project, etc. that may have a greater impact on your plan. 】

[As for the peripheral research laboratories, they are mainly responsible for researching the by-products obtained during the experiment in your laboratory. 】

[For example, gene optimization medicine can greatly supplement and make up for the defects in genes, enabling people to break through the limitations of innate talents and reach a higher level. 】

[Nowadays, the peripheral laboratories are basically in charge of Padofelis and Sakura. 】

[Padofelis is thoughtful and lively at the same time, while Sakura is taciturn and at the same time does not lack strong strength and sufficient determination. The two cooperate to at least help you look at these peripheral matters in a short period of time. Research will still not appear what is the problem. 】

[Especially after Sakura became a fusion fighter, her strength has improved again. Even among fusion fighters, except for existences such as Kevin and Alicia, they can already be said to be top-notch. 】

[Before she decided to join the fusion fighter project, she came to ask your opinion, and you, who never like to make decisions for others, can only guarantee that if she dies in the fusion fighter operation, you will try your best Help take care of her younger sister Bell. 】

[Sakura, who heard these remarks, had a subtle expression on her face. 】

[Now, in addition to assisting in the management of the peripheral laboratories, Sakura, as a fusion fighter, is also responsible for the security of the entire research institute. 】

[As if thinking of something, Sakura, who had just walked out of Mebius's research institute, grabbed the hood connected by the clothes behind her in a flustered movement and put it on, covering the pair of pink slender ears. 】

【"I was just helping Dr. Mebius to collect data—although I don't know why I have to deliberately measure the length of the ears, isn't it enough to measure the strength of the body?"]

【Sakura's face is slightly flushed, and her tone looks a little sullen. 】

【"Maybe it's because you pay more attention to details. But why did you cover your ears with a hat? I saw that your ears were bent and bent. Don't you feel uncomfortable?" You asked casually. 】

【"No, I just... don't think it's good to be seen."】

【Hearing your words, Sakura lowered her head slightly, but pulled the hood on her head even lower. 】

[She grew up in a place with relatively traditional thinking since she was a child, and even now she joins the thinking of Flaming Moths, she is still in such a relatively traditional state. 】

[After the fusion warrior experiment ended, cherry-pink slender fox ears inexplicably grew on the top of her head, which was a shameful thing for her. 】

【It looks like...that kind of shameless girl. 】

【"A lot of things can't exist without trying to cover them up. Whether others know it or not, the reality still can't be changed."】

【"At a time like this, maybe it's not these things that should be said..." Sakura's eyes shifted a bit, and she whispered, with a little subtlety in her tone, "But..."]

【She tentatively took off the hood that was specially worn on her head to cover her ears, and the pink ears that had finally broken free and regained their freedom instantly stood up on top of her head. 】

【"Isn't this appearance really strange?"】

【"If you want to evaluate this appearance from an aesthetic point of view, it should be called beautiful."】

【"That's good, as long as it doesn't look strange..."】

【"No, objectively speaking, the possibility of being identified as a person with strange hobbies still exists."】

【"Sakura, have you been tricked..."】

【"No, what I said should be the truth."】

【"Too blunt words sometimes make people feel..." Sakura sighed, and then changed the subject. 】

【"Speaking of which, is your physical condition okay now? I heard that in order to fight against the Herrscher of Restraint, you broke into the range of her power. Although you successfully defeated her, you eventually fell into a coma."】

【"There is nothing to do, at least there is no problem with normal work."】

[You, who are well aware of your physical condition, don't have the slightest sense of concealment.It's just that there are some things that don't need to be said at all. 】

【"Really? Although I don't have the right to make a request, but as a subordinate's advice, please take care of your body."】

【"Please don't worry too much, I have a clear understanding of what I should do."】

【"That's good." Sakura heaved a sigh of relief, and finally a little smile appeared on her previously worried face, and then she suddenly remembered something, "Ah, yes, there is this."]

【Sakura, who said so, rummaged in her pocket. 】

【"Ah, I found it. Here, this is made by Ling."】

【Sakura said so, holding the thing she just found out from her body with both hands and handing it over. 】

【That is a paper crane made only of paper. 】

【"Ling heard about your coma before, so I specially folded this paper crane and asked me to bring it to you. It means a wish on our side. I pray that the other party will be healthy and safe."】

[Speaking of her beloved sister, Sakura's brows became even softer, and the corners of her mouth showed a subtle curvature that she didn't even notice. 】

【"Although you are safe and sound now, I hope it has a special effect and can protect your health and safety—ah, sorry, is it not good to say such unfounded words in front of you as a scientific researcher?" 】

[The paper cranes folded by hand are not professional medical props, let’s talk about this kind of feudal superstition...]

【"It's okay, I'm not that rigid person. And many seemingly unfounded behaviors, the wishes and expectations attached to them are genuine." You took the hand from Sakura's cupped hands The paper crane that still has residual warmth, "Help me and thank you Ling."】

【"Ah, as long as you don't mind."】

⑧56⒈78⒐[-]⒉ "Linglong"

【You walk towards Wei Wei's research institute, Prometheus and Sakura follow behind you. 】

【"Do you often talk about my affairs with your sister?"】

【"Yeah, ahem, just occasionally. After all, it's not as rare as it used to be to accompany Ling. Ling is also curious about my current job, so she often pesters me to introduce it." The instant she almost blurted out, she changed her words, and the pink slender ears on the top of Sakura's head seemed to have a faint blush. 】

【"That's it."】

【"By the way, don't think that Suzuki is an unreasonable child. Although he is a little naughty occasionally, Suzuki's character is actually very well-behaved." Yi seemed to be proud and showing off Chatting in a calm tone, Sakura introduced her sister with the tone of introducing the most beautiful treasure in the world. 】

【"For example, wasabi was secretly mixed into the rice balls you made yourself?"】

【"..." Sakura paused slightly, with subtle embarrassment on her face, "I have already taught Ling about this kind of thing, and she will never dare to do such a thing again .”]

【"Lessons, specifically..."】

【Sakura is silent for a while, her eyes wandering. 】

【"I, I reprimanded her severely, um, Ling already knew she was wrong."】

【Well, even if Sakura didn't elaborate, you probably already understand what the so-called lesson is about. 】

【You glance at Sakura who is following behind. 】

[Sakura exudes an atmosphere that is completely different from most members of Flame Chasing Moth. 】

[It seems deserted, but it actually hides softness, and the kind of leisure and satisfaction that can hardly be seen in the moth that chases the flame. 】

[Yes, even in the face of the threat of collapse, Sakura is very satisfied now. 】

[She doesn't have any grand ideals, nor does she want to take protecting human beings or fighting against Honkai as her mission. 】

[For her, being able to continue such a fairly stable daily life is already the happiest thing. 】

[Compared with other things, such a stable and peaceful happiness is her real pursuit. 】

【"Then, my lord, I won't disturb you from now on." The journey soon came to an end, Sakura simply greeted you, and then walked briskly further and further. 】

【You walk into Wei Wei's research institute. 】

[At this time, Wei Wei has just completed the production of the new God's Key. 】

[That is the God's Key made using the core of the Ninth Herrscher who can control gravity. 】

[The appearance looks like a sphere with a diameter of about ten centimeters, the main color is dark blue, with symmetrical concave lines on the left and right, and the light blue lines continuously emit energy light. 】

[Weilwei named it the Harmony of the Star Sea. 】

[Key of Devouring Harmony of the Star Sea. 】

[Its ability is to create a strong gravitational source centered on a certain point. According to Weiwei, if there is a suitable user who can fully exert its power, then it can even create a gravitational force like the Ninth Herrscher. Similar to a black hole. 】
