I, Ellie, have memorized every single one of these things!
The fairy, who was always thinking about taking revenge on this bad guy, had to put it aside for the time being due to important matters.
Now that things are almost over, I've finally caught you, Ellie! You wicked Jiang Qiao!
If Jiang weren't using another girl's body right now, the angry fairy might have dragged this bastard—Elbow—into the house with me, Ellie!
"It's nothing. I just introduced him to a career that is more promising and has more potential than becoming a hero."
Although Jiang Qiao, who was wearing the appearance of Wendy, felt a little guilty, she appeared quite natural on the surface, as if she had nothing to hide.
Upon hearing this, Alicia frowned, her beautiful brows furrowing. Her initial thoughts of revenge faded, and she said with considerable concern:
"...You want to invite that child to join the Fire-Chasing Moth?"
To be honest, she didn't really approve of it.
The organization "Moths of Fire" is actually not a good one.
Even the reason she voluntarily joined this organization was simply to realize her own dream and to protect the people she had grown up with on Vostok-51.
To turn such children into warriors drawn by fire—to put it bluntly—is to push them into a fire pit, and Alicia doesn't want that to happen.
"No, I want to invite that child to become a fairy."
"?"
Alicia blinked her bright eyes, a hint of confusion flashing in them.
They were clearly shocked by this answer.
"Look, isn't it easier and more powerful to become a fairy than a hero? Just like our Miss Alicia."
"puff..."
The fairy lady instantly understood what was going on and covered her mouth to laugh out loud, feeling somewhat happy as well.
Although he's a bad guy, this wicked Jiang Qiao is quite good at talking.
"No wonder that kid ran away when he saw me, so that's what happened... He actually invited a boy to be a fairy, pfft..."
"Who says cute boys can't be fairies?" Wendy asked with a straight face, as if she really thought so. "There shouldn't be such a thing in the 'Alicia Code,' right?"
"Where did that thing come from...? But it's really interesting though~"
The thought of turning a cute boy who dreams of becoming a hero into a fairy is enough to make Alicia, the ultimate fun-loving person, deny the existence of the 'Alicia Principle' in a bad mood, but she also covers her mouth slightly, making no attempt to hide her interest in this super interesting thing.
This is indeed something 'Alicia' would do.
but...
While excited, Alicia's gaze toward Wendy turned hostile the next moment.
Damn it, this is something 'Alicia' should be doing, but that wicked Jiang Qiao did it for her ahead of time... What are you trying to do? I am the real Alicia!
Fat Lady puffed out her cheeks, expressing strong dissatisfaction with the super-Aili-like behavior displayed by the fake Aili-A ...
That cute little look, full of resentment and anger, left Jiang, who was being glared at, somewhat bewildered.
What's going on here?
Wasn't she happy just a moment ago? How did she suddenly turn into an angry Airi?
Indeed, girls' thinking is really hard to understand.
Led by Alicia, the two walked through the crowded temporary gathering area and arrived at the medical area set up by the Fire Moth.
"Blanca, what are you doing here?"
Upon seeing the blue-haired, white-clad figure active on the front lines, Jiang Qiao, who was no stranger to him, frowned.
As Mebius's assistant, Blanca should have stayed at the headquarters base. Although the gathering place was located outside the Great Honkai outbreak area, being in such a place, even just coming into contact with the people, would make it easy to be infected by the possible Honkai disease, let alone Blanca, who was just an ordinary person.
"Uh... who is this?"
Blanca, whose name was called, was a little stunned. She looked at Wendy with some confusion and then looked at Alicia standing next to her.
She naturally didn't recognize Jiang, who wasn't attacking in the form of [Alicia]—of course, for some reason, Blanca also had the illusion that she was seeing two Alicias.
"Just call him Jiang Qiao, he's a bad guy."
The fairy hummed as she introduced herself to Jiang Qiao, then lightly covered her mouth, revealing a cat-like, amused, and sly expression:
"After all, even Dr. Mebius personally took part, so Blanca, as his assistant, naturally wouldn't be an exception... She even volunteered herself, hehe, was it because she was worried about Hen?"
"Ahem, how could that be? It's just that Dr. Mebius isn't here, and I'm just idling in the lab."
Blanca was a shy person. Although almost everyone knew about her relationship with Hen, she couldn't help but defend herself when Alicia brought it up so openly.
"Really? But when Hen and I came back, someone heard that Hen was injured, and that little face of theirs was full of worry~"
"Okay, okay, I'm quite worried about him... Is something wrong? If nothing's wrong, I have a lot of work to do."
Blanca was annoyed by the fairy's lifelike performance, but he couldn't resist and had to admit defeat. He then said with a helpless expression, while his eyes kept looking elsewhere.
As an expert in the field of biology, Mebius's assistant, Blanca, has also gained a deep understanding of biology through whispered conversations. She has taken the initiative to come to the front line and is now in charge of the disaster victims affected by the Honkai.
"Let's find out about Kosmo's situation."
"Kosmo... Oh, the little guy that Alicia and Hen brought back, right?"
Blanca, understanding dawned on her, and then a hint of difficulty and worry appeared in her purple eyes, which were identical to Gretchen's:
"...The child's condition is not very good."
"Come with me first."
Led by her, Jiang Qiao and Alicia finally saw the green-haired boy lying on the hospital bed in one of the erected tents.
His eyes were tightly closed, and there were shocking purple lines on his neck.
"...This child has been in the area where the Great Honkai occurred for too long. Although he seems to have some resistance to Honkai energy, he still inevitably contracted Honkai disease."
Blanca sighed.
Honkai is almost incurable in this era... Of course, according to the original development, Su survived it, but it was only by using serum extracted from thousands of lives that she was finally saved.
At that time, that kind of thing didn't exist yet.
Even Dr. Mebius, who has some research on Honkai, would find it difficult to handle this situation.
The patients who shared a tent with Kosmo were essentially given a death sentence.
"how come..."
Alicia covered her mouth; given her personality, she found this situation difficult to accept.
She subconsciously glanced at the girl beside her and said:
"...Jiang Qiao".
Even the bad words she had uttered out of anger disappeared at this moment. Alicia felt helpless in the face of this situation, but she thought that perhaps Jiang Qiao had a solution.
Although it was outrageous, she always looked forward to it.
In moments of helplessness, it seems that only Jiang Qiao can bring me a sense of security.
—This time, he still smiled and reassured her:
"fine."
These simple words convey an irreplaceable sense of trust.
In fact, for Jiang Qiao, this was not a difficult task at all.
—It's just Honkai disease.
Even without the authority of the Law of Life and Death, if it were merely a terminal illness of this degree, the portion of primordial authority I possess would be sufficient to resolve the problem.
After all, the so-called Honkai energy is simply the result of patients being excessively corrupted by Honkai energy.
With the Herrscher of Origin's ultimate ability to manipulate Honkai, he only needs to extract Honkai energy to make this condition less fatal.
The only drawback is that this power is not so significant in healing—that is the domain of the power of life and death.
The pink halo spread as Wendy raised her hand, entering the bodies of the patients suffering from Honkai disease on their beds.
Immediately afterwards, specks of purple starlight scattered out.
The alarming purple lines on the patients' bodies gradually disappeared.
To Blanca's astonishment, the starlight condensed in mid-air into a dazzling crystal flower, which slowly floated into the girl's delicate palm.
"This crystal flower can absorb the Honkai energy from the bodies of those suffering from Honkai disease, but it needs to release the Honkai energy periodically. I think you understand what that means, Alicia."
Jiang Qiao placed the crystal flower in Alicia's hand and said softly.
Although Alicia couldn't do what he did, the fat lady could certainly manage to water the crystal flower.
"I got it."
Although she was very happy, looking at the crystal flower in her hand, Alicia couldn't help but puff out her cheeks, revealing a hint of resentment.
Damn it! Making crystal flowers is clearly my specialty, Ellie, and even the tricks Jiang Qiao used to make them were taught to me by her. So why is it that you, Jiang Qiao, are doing it better than your teacher?!
What I rubbed out was actually a multi-functional crystal flower with various fancy features... Hmph, there's no way around it, it must be because of the bugged Origin Power of Jiang Qiao!
