Chapter 70: Why Don’t You Also Keep My Secret?
***
As long as I’m willing, I can do it.
If it’s Vill-V, then no matter what path she takes, she’ll be able to display amazing talent, right?
But—
She has a secret unknown to others, and that is…
This seemingly incredibly proud genius is actually, in her true self, a girl as insecure and timid as the girl next door.
Her multiple personalities have buried this greatest secret of Vill-V’s life deep within her heart, with no one knowing what she’s truly like.
However…
This was supposed to be a perfectly ordinary day for Vill-V, but from this girl who had deliberately been following her, she heard these words:
“— As an exchange, I’ll keep your secret?”
“Haha, what are you talking about?”
Instinctively wanting to hide this secret, and thinking with a stroke of luck that the other party might be bluffing, Vill-V laughed awkwardly while playing dumb.
However, that pink-haired girl said nothing, still looking at her with that sa smile.
Those bright azure eyes seed as if they could see through everything in her heart.
At this mont, Vill-V knew that even if she continued to play dumb, it would be aningless.
“…I’m suddenly curious about how you found out, big sister. Can you tell ?”
Suddenly, the voluptuous girl with the peculiar hair color had a slight change in her expression and tone.
Compared to her previous confidence as a magician, Vill-V at this mont was like a little sister.
Her words were full of helplessness and distress.
To this, the pink-haired girl raised a finger and waved it, saying in a sowhat displeased tone:
“That’s very an, how can you call a beautiful girl ‘big sister’? We’re about the sa age, and even…【I】 might be a little younger?”
Vill-V didn’t notice the emphasis in Jiang Qiao’s words, or rather, who would pay attention to such small details?
“As for the question you want to ask, the answer is, of course — I can’t tell you～”
The girl who drew out her syllables seed like she wanted to deliberately tease this little girl who had revealed her true face, her face full of mischievous smiles.
“Just like magic, if you reveal the secret, the magic won’t be mysterious anymore, and in that case～it would be very boring, right?”
Hearing this, Miss Magician couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “…I didn’t expect you to be the type who holds grudges.”
“Mm-hmm～So you’d better be careful, or being targeted by a grudge-holding elf will be very troubleso?”
The winking pink-haired girl looked quite playful.
“I’ve already experienced that.”
“Well, I won’t ask about more things.”
“If what you want to do is what you said, then we are indeed comrades.”
“It’s just—”
“How do you plan to save the world?”
Vill-V was very interested in saving the world, after all, she could vaguely sense that this world was falling into so kind of crisis.
It was precisely because of this that she deliberately investigated Fire Moth, which might be the mastermind behind this situation.
She didn’t mind having another companion, after all, humans are creatures that cannot be separated from groups, and one more person would always an one more helping hand, one more solution.
However, for this girl who called herself Elysia and extended an invitation to her, Vill-V had to clarify so things.
Otherwise, even if the other party knew her biggest secret, she couldn’t help her.
After all, if this power called 【Vill-V】 was misguided in the wrong direction, it would cause enormous trouble for this world.
While being extrely unconfident about herself, Vill-V also paradoxically clearly understood what kind of destructive power she possessed.
“That’s natural.”
Jiang Qiao nodded, but then changed the subject:
“It’s just that before that, we still have so things to do.”
“?”
Under Vill-V’s puzzled gaze, he slowly approached this girl with differently colored hair.
“Since I’m going to keep Vill-V’s secret, if I’m the only one doing this unilaterally, wouldn’t that be too unfair to you? It would sound like I’m threatening sothing.”
“【Elysia】 isn’t such a despicable girl?”
“So, for the sake of fairness…”
His raised finger gently touched the magician’s lips, and he smiled softly:
“— Why don’t you also keep 【my】 secret?”
The two were so close that they were almost touching, and with Jiang Qiao’s extrely intimate gesture, Vill-V’s face quickly turned red at this mont, yet she seed to be attracted like iron to a magnet, unable to move her feet.
Although she usually acts bold and unrestrained, just like showing her true self, Miss Magician is actually an extrely innocent little sister!
This big sister, could she actually be that type…
Thinking of this possibility, Vill-V couldn’t help but tremble all over.
Oh no, did she just run into that kind of person?
Is it too late to regret now?
However, while having such thoughts, she was also sowhat puzzled about what secret Jiang Qiao was talking about.
— Unlike the original Pink Elf who would reveal her true colors the mont she encountered the dual-colored fluffy head, Jiang Qiao, who had fully mastered this body of 【Elysia】, was already a complete Herrscher of Origin.
Under deliberate concealnt, except for beings who were also Herrschers who could discover the truth about this body, no one could detect that 【Elysia】 was actually a hidden Herrscher.
The pink-haired girl who withdrew her finger gently lifted her fingertip, and under Vill-V’s widened eyes, a beautiful pink crystal flower slowly grew from that slender fingertip.
In her ear was the other’s whisper:
“Look, isn’t it beautiful?”
Very beautiful.
Indeed very beautiful.
But seeing this scene, Vill-V’s eyes widened.
One thing that must be praised is that — Fire Moth did an excellent job keeping secrets from the public.
For a long ti, the world didn’t know about the existence of Honkai.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this world was still as peaceful as ever, except that occasionally they might see news about gas explosions in certain cities, or certain cities encountering major natural disasters.
Although the talented Vill-V had already vaguely touched upon the truth hidden beneath the world.
Before truly obtaining detailed intelligence belonging to Fire Moth, her understanding of the world didn’t deviate from the common sense of those ordinary people.
And at this mont, what this girl nad Elysia showed before her was undoubtedly a supernatural ans that transcended common sense and shocked the world.
Moreover, Vill-V could vaguely feel that this seemingly beautiful flower was incredibly similar to those deadly things she had seen before…
This big sister is exactly…
— What kind of person?
