Y/N, THE 14TH MEMBER OF THE FLAMECHASERS: An [Honkai Impact 3rd] Mini-Story

33. BACK TO REALITY [6]

Mei wakes up.
She looks around and found herself back in reality in the lounge lying on the couch.
The same old lounge as before.

Mei:  "I..."
Mei:  "I'm back in reality?"
Mei:  "Why?"
Mei:  "..."
Mei:  "That was..."

???:  "Ah, you're awake already, Miss."

Mei:  "...!"
Mei becomes wary of the green haired individual that came to meet her.

Mobius:  "Herrschers are indeed different. "
Mobius:  "My interest in you continues to grow."
Mobius:  "And thanks to you, I can come here now."

Mei:  "It was you."
Mei:  "Why did you stop me?"

Mobius:  "?"
Mobius:  "Stop you?"
Mobius:  "Why would I do that?"
Mobius:  "You fainted too fast and didn't hear me?"
Mobius:  "The destination you seek is the starting point you're at now."

Mei:  "...Nonsense."

Mobius:  "Don't be upset, miss."
Mobius:  "You didn't like what just happened?"
Mobius:  "In fact, my Signets are a bit different from the others..."
Mobius:  "Especially when it comes to how they are passed on."
Mobius:  "Why don't we reach deeper?"
Mobius:  "The Signet of Infinity..."
Mobius:  "I'll find the most suitable way to pass them onto you."

Mei:  "..."

???:  "Ah, look who just arrived."
???:  "Isn't it the lovely Dr. Mobius?"
???:  "What a surprise."
???:  "I thought you'd only appear in greenish places."

Mobius:  "...Elysia."

Elysia:  "Nice to see you!"
Elysia:  "But Mei and I have plans."
Elysia:  "Sorry,she can't keep you company."

Mobius:  "..."

Elysia:  "Alright, can you give her back to me?"
Elysia:  "We have a date."

Mobius:  "Elysia, what's she to you?"

Elysia:  "Hmm, we're good friends."
Elysia:  "No—very, very good friends."
Elysia:  "Arent we, Mei?"

Mobius:  "...Shut up."
Mobius:  "I wouldn't wander around if I were you..."
Mobius:  "Traitor."

Mei:  'Huh?'

Elysia:  "What are you saying?"
Elysia:  "I'm not Su and I can't tell the future."
Elysia:  "But I trust myself, and I trust everyone here, including you."
Elysia:  "Ah, wait, you were talking about Mei?"
Elysia:  "Don't think in this way."
Elysia:  "You're still in my heart."

Mobius:  "..."
Mobius:  "Listen, new girl, you'd better watch out for this one."
Mobius:  "She's the least trustworthy on in the Elysian Realm."
Mobius:  "Don't believe a word she says."

Mei:  "I'll be the judge of that."

Mobius:  "...He-he."
Mobius:  "I won't waste my time trying to convince you."
Mobius:  "That was a kind reminder."
Mobius:  "You'd better stay alert or you'll pay a dear price."
Mobius:  "Yes, we've all paid a dear price."
By that, Mobius leaves the lounge.

Elysia:  "Phew, that was close."
Elysia: "Mobius is always full of surprises."
Elysia: "But I can't seem to hate her or bad-mouth her."

Mei: "Really?"
Mei: "In my eyes, you two are not exactly best friends."

Elysia: "Ah, I really like her."
Elysia: "She's so cute and adorable."

Mei: "Well, about her calling you a 'traitor'..."

Elysia: "Uh-huh."

Mei: "..."
Mei: "Looks like you don't want to talk about this, at least not now, right?"
Mei: "Anyway, none of this will affect how I think of you."
Mei: "Your sim is kept here, which there's more to it than meets the eye."
Mei: "I'll look into it myself."

Elysia: "Hmm, I know it."
Elysia: "You're the best."
