"Well, see you later."
【Alicia】 smiled and nodded, then followed Dr. Relia's footsteps.
Upon entering a room, he was immediately struck by the numerous screens, prompting him to speak out:
"Wow, so many screens."
As you can see, the screens are filled with weather maps and a dense array of data and bars. Even though Jiang Qiao isn't as sensible as the fat lady, receiving this information on the [Alice] ship still makes her feel a little dizzy.
"Yes, these screens monitor weather information throughout Oceania and even the Pacific region."
"Since the end of the Third Great Collapse... no, the starting point of this extreme weather event was shortly after the outbreak of the Third Great Collapse. Initially, I thought it was an effect of the Third Great Collapse, but all the data indicates that this anomaly is not related to the Third Great Collapse..."
—No, no, no, actually there is a little bit.
Seeing Dr. Relia's worried expression, the pink-clad girl secretly thought to herself, "This is what I'm complaining about."
Without a doubt, this is a sign of the fourth major collapse.
However, according to the original process, the Honkai outbreak should not have occurred so quickly.
Even though smaller-scale collapses occasionally occur within the Great Collapse, the impact extends across the entire Oceania region, and even 50,000 years later, similar abnormal changes have occurred—the scope of this disaster may have already affected the entire branch of the [Honkai Impact 3rd Extinction World].
Although it was outrageous, Jiang Qiao was not surprised.
After all, it would be perfectly normal for the cocoon to take such measures after realizing its own intentions.
The path to salvation will never be smooth sailing.
Even if he would prefer to achieve his goals more easily, he is not afraid of the future.
—Anyway, the worst outcome won't be worse than splitting yourself into hundreds of millions of pieces.
Not knowing what the girl in front of her was thinking, Dr. Relia said quite sincerely:
“Miss Alicia, if possible, I would like you to come here.”
"Eh?"
Subconsciously, Jiang glanced at his hair.
It's not yellow either...
"Because of Miss Wilvi from the First Research Department, the research equipment of the Fourth Research Department has been upgraded to some extent. Based on some information provided by Dr. MEI, we speculate that the source of the extreme weather may be this area. You came here to investigate the climate anomalies, right?"
"Ah...yes."
He instantly realized that this must be an excuse MEI made up for himself, otherwise [Alicia]'s trip wouldn't have been so easy.
However... this script is written by a blond idiot.
Oh well, the whole point of this trip is to find the imaginary dark side of the fourth Great Collapse, so it's no big deal to go.
The girl in pink sighed and glanced at the symbol Dr. Relia had given her.
—Auckland.
Chapter 130 Möbius's Little Secret, You Must Never Tell Anyone!
"Oh, you came out so quickly?"
When Jiang Qiao came out of Dr. Relia's lab, she saw the little bird stuffing cookies into its mouth, one after another, its cheeks puffed out, looking very cute, just like a hamster or a snack bag.
Noticing his gaze, Totori laughed awkwardly:
"Doing research is so physically demanding, I need to replenish my energy, do you want to come... Waaaaaah!!!"
The chestnut-haired girl, who was chewing on cookies, suddenly turned pale. Luckily, Alicia caught the bag of cookies with quick reflexes, otherwise they might have spilled all over the floor.
Of course, cookies aren't the most important thing.
The important thing is! She choked! The little bird choked!
"...Water...water!"
Hearing the girl's mournful cry, Jiang glanced at the half-empty bottle of mineral water in his hand and, without a moment's hesitation, immediately guzzled it down the little bird's throat!
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough water, so the desired effect of getting her pregnant didn't materialize.
Gudu~Gudu~
"Phew...I'm alive again!"
With a look of relief, Totori patted her chest, which, while not wealthy, was at least worth over 50000, and let out a long sigh of relief.
She glanced at the water bottle in Alicia's hand, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Hmm...it should be fine since they're all girls.
"If you're hungry, let's go eat. I'm hungry too."
The girl in pink looked somewhat helpless.
Although as a Herrscher, one can go without food and drink and be self-sufficient with Honkai energy.
However, it is unclear whether this is due to the special nature of the Herrscher of Origin, but although they will not die from hunger, they will feel just as uncomfortable as ordinary people.
"Mmm~ It's on me!"
Having had her life "saved," Totori patted the capital very proactively.
The salaries offered to researchers by the Fire Moth organization are relatively generous.
The Fourth Research Institute has its own canteen, but Little Bird did not choose to take Jiang Qiao to eat there. Instead, she went to a dessert shop in town that she really liked.
"Boss, two servings of the Three-Flavor Blue Mousse and two cups of black tea, please."
Totori finished ordering very skillfully; it was clear she was a regular customer.
"Let me tell you, the desserts at this dessert shop are absolutely delicious! I come here every few days!"
The wait for dessert was quite leisurely. The somewhat excited chestnut-haired girl sat on a high stool and chatted with Alicia.
"Where are you going next?"
"Dr. Relia asked me to go to Auckland."
—It is also New Zealand's largest city, known as the City of Sails.
"Oh! What a coincidence! I was also planning to go to Auckland!"
"Could it be that your friend..."
"Hehe, she's in that city~ Oh right, I haven't told you her name yet, have I?"
"Wendy?"
"...Huh? Did I tell you?...I don't think so, right? Never mind, I guess I just forgot."
Looking at the somewhat adorable chestnut-haired girl, [Alicia] propped her cheek up with her hand, picked up a silver spoon, scooped up a spoonful of the light blue mousse, and put it in her mouth to savor it.
It has a very unique flavor, with three distinct tastes upon first bite... It's made from the fruit of the Sanko tree, which is said to be very popular in the Wa region of Mu.
As a neighbor of Mu Continent, it's not surprising that this dessert shop is located in the tourist hotspot of Queenstown.
Of course, although the food tasted great, he didn't focus much on enjoying the dessert. Instead, he maintained his smile and listened to how the little bird and Wendy met.
—The Wendy from the pre-civilization era didn't have such a tragic background as the Wendy from the 2B train. She wasn't a plaything of the rich on a private island, but a native resident of Auckland.
One day, she met Totori, who came from China to study in Auckland, by chance.
Like a fateful encounter, Wendy and Totori, complete strangers, quickly became best friends despite it being their first meeting.
Even after graduating early and being invited by her teacher to join the Fourth Research Department, the latter would often take time to visit Wendy in Auckland.
However, due to recent environmental and work-related factors, Little Bird hasn't visited its friends for quite some time.
Only through online chat did I vaguely learn that Wendy, whose health wasn't good to begin with, had recently deteriorated further.
Because the previous tests had yielded no results, Totori decided to ask her teacher's connections to see if she could get Dr. Spassy in Europe to help take a look at Wendy's condition.
During the brief time spent enjoying desserts, besides acting as a listener, Jiang Qiao would also share some of her experiences with the little bird out of curiosity—after all, casual conversations between girls are mostly about reminiscing about the past and funny stories.
The story of Alicia as a warrior active on the battlefield, even with embellishments, amazed and inspired Totori, who was merely a researcher.
Of course, the most interesting thing is the gossip and tidbits from the headquarters of the Firemoth.
For example—the famous Mebius actually really liked wearing little skirts, especially pink ones!
Even more so! Because he loves wearing skirts so much, he sometimes even visits Alicia's wardrobe, which greatly annoys Alicia. She said with a hint of helplessness:
"Honestly, if you like little skirts, you can just tell her directly. What's wrong with a beautiful girl liking little skirts? Why do you have to sneak around and take them? Don't you think Dr. Mebius is being very dishonest?"
"Hmm, I never imagined that the famous Dr. Möbius was like this behind the scenes!"
"Hey, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone! If it gets to Dr. Möbius's ears, she'll be so embarrassed!"
"Don't worry, Totori, my mouth is known as the tightest in the Fourth Research Department!"
The chestnut-haired girl patted her chest, making a confident and assured promise.
