Collapse: The World I Live In

With the death of the fourth Herrscher, Herrscher of Wind, peace returned to the entire city.

The two people who had made the greatest contribution in this battle were now being supported by others and slowly standing up from the ground.

"It hurts, it hurts! Alicia, please be gentler!" Himeko, who was supported by Alicia, said to her with a painful look on her face. After all, the aftereffects of using the power of [Super Limit] are still there, and the bright red marks on Himeko's face have not faded yet. This mark is equivalent to the countdown for using the power of [Super Limit]. She has to wait until the mark disappears before she can continue to use it.

"I know, I know." Alicia put Himeko's shoulder on her shoulder with one hand and held Himeko's waist with the other hand and said.

"By the way, Kevin, aren't you in pain?" Hen, who was holding Kevin in the same way as Alicia, said calmly.

"...It hurts..." Kevin answered calmly. The difference between him and Himeko was that the marks on Kevin's face were much lighter.

"What is that... Oh, I understand." Hen didn't understand at first, but suddenly thought of Kevin's girlfriend in the Fire Moth, and said with a sly smile, "You are much better than that piece of wood, Yi~"

"What?" Kevin was confused. He didn't know what was going on in Hen's mind, but in order not to expose his desire to act cool, he didn't pursue what Hen was thinking.

Members of the Fire Moth also came to the battlefield to recover the bodies of the Herrschers and search for survivors.

In the shelter, a young boy looked at Kevin and Himeko who had returned triumphantly, with envy in his eyes, thinking that he also wanted to be a hero like Kevin...

Inside the Fire Moth, Mei heaved a sigh of relief and smiled as she watched the two men who had successfully defeated the Herrscher.

"How is it?" asked Long who was standing next to Yi.

"What's going on?" Yi asked puzzledly.

"What about the strongest combat power of the Fire Moth right now? How is the battle?" Long asked.

"It was a beautiful battle. Kevin, Himeko, and every member of the Fire Moth Combat Team did their best." Yi commented, but then changed his tone, "Kevin aside, Himeko's body cannot support her using the power of [Super Limit] for a long time. She will collapse... and this is the fourth time it has collapsed. It can be seen that the collapse is getting stronger each time. We can't be so happy that we stop moving forward. The collapse is everywhere..."

"Stop, stop, stop. I just asked you to tell me what you think, but why did you talk about the future?" Long quickly stopped Yi and said.

"But isn't it just as I said? We should be prepared for danger in times of peace. As the ancients said, 'Born in adversity, die in comfort.' We should 'worry about the world before we worry about ourselves, and be happy after the world is happy.'" Yi said seriously.

"The ancients also said 'a man who worries about nothing will eventually fall'? You'd better share these great principles with Mobius and the others. I'm just an ordinary senior member of the Fire Moth." Long said after taking a puff of cigarette.

"Can you please stop smoking?" Yi couldn't help but say. Why did Yi suddenly say that? Because the smoke exhaled by Long hit Yi's face, making Yi feel the sensation of second-hand smoke.

"What do you care about me?" Long said.

"..." Yi looked at this woman who was nearly thirty years old and was speechless. With this condition, it was no wonder that she couldn't get married like Himeko.

"Hiss! What are you doing?" Yi felt the pain in his foot. He looked down and saw a black high-heeled shoe stepping on his foot. It felt so painful... He raised his head and looked at Long and asked.

"I always feel like you're thinking about something rude." Long said viciously.

"..." Yi had nothing to say, because just as Long said, he was saying bad things about her. Yi couldn't help but roar in his heart, why is a woman's intuition so accurate!

Himeko, who was supported by Alicia, suddenly felt her nose itchy, "Ah, cut!" She sneezed in an unladylike manner, and it was this sneeze that caused Himeko to tear the wound she suffered in the battle. She wailed again, "Ah! It hurts, it hurts so much!" Alicia quickly stabilized the wailing Himeko. She could see that Himeko was in real pain. After all, this strong woman was in so much pain that she was crying.

And Yi, who was far away inside the Fire Moth, had no idea that he had almost caused Himeko to suffer a second injury...

When Himeko and Kevin retreated to the hospital at the Fire Moth headquarters, in Himeko's ward.

"Let me hug little Grayshu~" Himeko said with a smile as she looked at Hen and Blanca who came to visit her, as well as the little girl in Blanca's arms.

"Be careful, your wounds haven't healed yet." Hen said to Himeko who still had a bandage on her head.

"It's okay, it's okay. What can a child do to me..." Himeko took over Grayshue from Blanca's hand, rubbed her face against Grayshue's, and said with a happy voice, "Children's skin is just good~"

But this happy time didn't last long. Little Gray suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped Himeko on the forehead...

Seeing what Grayshue was doing, Blanka quickly hugged Grayshue back to prevent Grayshue from causing Himeko a second injury, and said, "I'm sorry, Himeko, Grayshue has caused you trouble."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just a kid. I really like Grayshus." Himeko waved her hands quickly. Although she said that, it still hurt a lot. However, in order to maintain her image in front of Grayshus, Himeko did not scream out.

"You really like children. Why don't you plan to have one of your own?" Hen said, looking at Himeko.

"..." Himeko's forehead turned into a well shape, "Hen, if you don't know how to talk, don't talk! I think I'm easy to bully now, don't I? Let's practice when I get better!"

"What's wrong? Himeko is so angry." Another figure walked into the ward. It was Alicia. When Alicia came in, she first saw the furious Himeko and then Blanca and Grayshu in Blanca's arms. She hurried to Blanca. As for Hen, she was ignored again. "Hi! Blanca, and little Grayshu, long time no see." After that, she took Grayshu from Blanca's arms. Just like Himeko did just now, Alicia also rubbed her face against Grayshu's face.

"Do you remember who I am?" asked Alicia.

"Ai...Li...Xi...ya..." Grace answered in a childish voice. Grace is over one year old now, so it is natural for her to learn to speak.

"That's great, Grayshu." As she said that, Alicia kissed Grayshu on the face.

"Wow, it's so lively." Another person appeared in Himeko's ward, and that person was Yi. "Long time no see, Blanca, and little Grayshu." After saying that, he gently scratched Grayshu's nose, and Grayshu also returned Yi a sweet smile.

Then he turned to Himeko on the bed and said, "How are you feeling?"

"Much better. By the way, do you know how Hua is doing?" Himeko said, thinking of her outstanding teammates.

"Hua, Hua was really powerful this time. She is now Hen's savior. She also helped me defeat the Judgment-level Honkai Beast. She was injured in the battle and broke several ribs. She is lying on another bed. I just came here from her ward." Alicia returned Grayshu to Blanca and said before Yi.

"Really? That's good." Himeko breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the news from Hua.

"Why isn't Dr. Mebius with you? Yi, don't I always see you with her?" Hen suddenly asked.

"Because the body of the Fourth Herrscher has been recovered, our laboratory has more work to do. Mobius and Klein are busy with experiments and work. I will be the representative of Mobius Laboratory to express my condolences to you." Yi said.

"Then why are you all here? Didn't you go to Kevin's place?" Himeko suddenly asked.

When they heard Kevin's name, everyone was silent for a while, looking at each other, and confirming with their eyes that they were the same person.

"Actually, we should have all been to Kevin's place..." Alicia stepped forward and spoke.

"Then why are they all concentrated here?" Himeko asked puzzled.

"After all... where is Mei?" said Alicia.

"So what if Mei is there...oh~" Himeko couldn't understand at first what happened if Mei was there, but then she remembered that Mei was Kevin's girlfriend and she understood instantly.

……

In Kevin's ward, unlike Himeko's ward which was full of people, there were only two people in Kevin's ward, Mei and herself.

"Are you okay?" Mei asked worriedly, looking at Kevin with bandages wrapped around his upper body.

"It's okay, it's okay, it will be fine soon, hiss~" In order not to let Mei worry, Kevin first made a gesture to show that he was very strong, but his coolness did not last for more than three seconds, and he tore the wound.

"Okay, okay, be careful, you still have to take it with you." Looking at Kevin's appearance, Mei couldn't help but smile and said, "By the way, I also brought you a lunch box." After that, she turned over and took out a lunch box with more than an ordinary lunch box from her bag and handed it to Kevin.

It is a wonderful thing for a girlfriend to bring a lunch box to her boyfriend, but Kevin was horrified when he heard it. Kevin had eaten Mei's lunch box when he was in school before. The taste was really hard to describe. Kevin almost saw God waving at him when he ate it, but he finished it all in order to save his girlfriend's face.

"Mei...actually I've already eaten." Kevin chose to lie with the lunch box still unopened in his hand.

"Really? Shouldn't you have a big appetite? You should be able to finish this." Mei tilted her head and said.

Seeing Mei like this, Kevin had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the lunch box. What Kevin saw was not the purple food like he had during school days, but an ordinary bento, without a single weird feeling.

"How about it? I've been practicing for a long time." Mei said with a smile.

"Mei..." Kevin was very touched, but also felt like a piece of shit. Mei was working so hard, but he still lied and refused to eat.

Kevin picked up a small sausage from the lunch box with chopsticks, put it into his mouth and swallowed it under Mei's gaze.

"How is it, how is it?" Mei asked quickly.

But unfortunately Kevin doesn't have the problem of mei.

"Kevin? What's wrong?" Mei saw that Kevin didn't answer her, so she looked at Kevin in confusion and asked.

Kevin rolled his eyes, slammed his head into his lunch box, and foamed at the mouth.

"Kevin! Kevin! What's wrong with you! Doctor! Doctor!" Seeing Kevin like this, Mei was very anxious and quickly called a doctor.

Before Kevin passed out, he couldn't figure out why a bento that looked so good tasted so bad...
