Chapter 1021

"These four are also Flame-Chasers? Uh, why does it feel like their style is a bit different?"

Mei's expression was subtle. Looking at these four weirdos slurping noodles, she found it hard to associate them with Flame-Chasers. In fact, she was still surprised that there were men among the Flame-Chasers.

(I thought that besides Bai Ge, all of the fifteen Flame-Chasers were women. So there are men~ Wait, can't be careless now, maybe they are women dressed as men.)

Thinking of a certain flat-chested immortal, Mei only felt that it wasn't impossible. One must know that before Bai Ge came to St. Freya Academy, Fu Hua was known as the first male Valkyrie.

And not to mention the other three for now, Su... can indeed be described as beautiful. After all, the title of Lady of the Lake is not fake.

"Don't worry, although these four guys are all weirdos, they are all my good brothers."

"Good brothers? Then I'm relieved."

Mei blinked her eyes, then breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Kevin and the others with a kind expression again.

As long as they aren't love rivals, it doesn't matter what they are.

"Uh, Bai Ge, have you already been to the previous civilization now?" Su asked tentatively.

"Mm, hasn't Hua already notified you that I'm back? Speaking of which, why are you four gathered here slurping noodles?"

"Team building, and avoiding the limelight." x4

The four said in unison. After speaking, they all trembled like sieves, as if they had thought of something terrifying.

These four tough men who didn't even fear Finality when facing it directly now showed clear "fear"!

Bai Ge was very surprised. Besides himself, there was currently no one who could threaten Kevin and the others, right?

"Avoiding the limelight? What happened in the Elysian Realm that could make you guys come out to avoid the limelight? Could it be that it's haunted?"

"Hau—haunted would be better..."

Kevin's voice was hollow. He took a deep breath and looked at his hands, finding that the trembling couldn't stop at all.

Bai Ge raised an eyebrow, thinking, could it be that the Herrscher of Corruption of the current civilization has descended? That shouldn't be right. The Flame-Chasers who aren't memory bodies aren't afraid of that thing at all now.

And Kevin seemed unwilling to even mention it, directly trying to change the subject.

Kevin: "Cough cough! Speaking of which, Hua notified us that Bai Ge is back? I didn't know, do you guys know 〃．?"

Su: "Of course not. As for the reason, I think there's no need to guess, right? Eh~ it's truly sad, didn't expect that Hua would one day become like this too."

Kalpas: "Hmph! Normal. Once it involves things related to Bai Ge, the brains of those women will all have some problems."

Kosma: "Long time no see, Bai Ge, and... Mei."

Different from the original plot, the Flame-Chasers who are not memory bodies can of course walk out of the Elysian Realm to be active. In fact, many Flame-Chasers are maintaining a certain degree of contact with the outside world.

For example, a certain Star, besides being an artist who has held art exhibitions, is now also an Ero-manga teacher.

And today, a red crisis occurred in the Elysian Realm that was enough to make Su open his eyes. So, in order to avoid this crisis and also to have a team building for the first time in a long time, Kevin pulled the three of them to a newly opened ramen shop in the city.

It just so happened that they ran into Bai Ge.

"Speaking of which, why is Mei with you? She, wasn't she still in the Elysian Realm looking for experimental subjects just now?" Kevin hooked his arm around Bai Ge's neck and asked very quietly.

"What experimental subjects? Mei isn't Mobius. And Kevin, she is Mei, not Mei."

"Hm? Not Mei? That's not right, she looks exactly like Mei no matter how I look at her. Don't try to fool me, Bai Ge."

Kevin struck a vigilant pose, looking like he was ready to break out and run at any time. Not just him, Su, Kalpas, and Kosma were all the same.

The four stared at Mei like they were facing a great enemy.

"Your reaction to girls is too rude. You deserve to not find a girlfriend for fifty thousand years. What exactly happened? What did Mei do to make you so scared?"

"……Cooking!" x4

"Hiss hiss hiss! Alright, that is indeed terrifying!"

Bai Ge also shivered all over, his hair standing on end as his PTSD flared up, almost directly activating Human-Honkai Fusion.

"Wait, could it be that you are..."

"Mm, the Elysian Realm isn't peaceful today. Mei was exercising her cooking skills today, and even looking for people to taste it. We had no choice but to escape to save our lives. So Bai Ge... is this person beside you really not Mei?"

Su's eyes were wide open, staring vigilantly at Mei.

"Really not. My Mei's cooking is delicious, her craftsmanship is not even under Sakura's. She really just looks the same, an alternate-space counterpart, you know? It's probably like that."

"I see. Then it's indeed not Mei."

The four breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Not to mention how delicious it was, Mei's cooking was simply inedible. Although she hadn't given up on improving her cooking skills for so many years, but...

Just by recalling it slightly, all four felt a phantom pain in their abdomens. That was simply not something humans could eat!

Even Kevin, who was a Chimera, foamed at the mouth on the spot after tasting a bite back then, almost dying on the spot.

And after so many years, Mei's cooking skills have not improved but declined.

Now the consensus within the Flame-Chasers is that they would rather drink Mobius's suspicious medicine than eat Mei's cooking, because the former at most has some side effects that won't kill you.

And the latter can even melt your stomach, it's deadly!

"Speaking of which, this matter has to be blamed on you, Bai Ge."

"Hm? Why?"

"If it weren't for you saying back then that you believed Mei could make normal and delicious food one day, she wouldn't have kept exercising her cooking skills for so many years. You... have harmed us miserably."

Su covered his stomach with an ugly expression. Clearly, he was also one of the victims of Mei's cooking.

"Uh, sorry..."

At this, Bai Mou couldn't help but feel guilty.

Back when he was at the Moth of the Fire, he also tried Mei's cooking and almost didn't get pushed into the operating room by Mobius for rescue. If it weren't for the authority of the Herrscher of Rebirth.

Bai Mou felt that he would have had a 50% chance of really dying.

And it wasn't just him.

(Thinking back, I also tried feeding Mei's cooking to the Herrscher of Finality who was down. As a result, although Finality lived up to her status as a god and didn't die, but... the reaction wasn't small either!)

Bai Ge felt that he would never forget that scene in his life. After being forced to eat Mei's cooking by him, the down Herrscher of Finality actually turned pale and let out a painful groan.

The Honkai goddess, who should have been down for five days, woke up clutching her stomach, angrily questioning Bai Ge about what kind of deadly poison he had fed her.

Bai Ge: "That was close, almost didn't win that time."

Mei: "What kind of person can make food so difficult to eat? Is it really as exaggerated as you say?"

Bai Ge: "Let's skip this topic. My PTSD is flaring up now, but I'm still a bit moved. Mei actually worked so hard to exercise her cooking skills for me."

Kevin: "Bai Ge, take a brother's advice, don't eat it."

The remaining three nodded concernedly.

They knew very well that this white-haired youth was a brave person who could do many foolish things for love. Bai Ge really dared to take the initiative to eat Mei's cooking!

"Cough cough! Speaking of which, what was the reason for you going into the sea this time, Kevin? My memory didn't have a deviation, I saw you in the Sea of Quanta before."

Bai Ge also chose to change the subject.

"．「 Could it be because you were fighting Su for custody again? Didn't I say to let Kalpas take care of Adam?"

"……Hmph!"

Kevin's face turned black, and he turned his head away unhappily.

Yes, so this time he was fighting for custody with Kalpas.

As a result, he didn't expect Kalpas to not talk about martial virtue!

Kevin: "Kalpas, I always thought you were a reckless man who would fight me fairly! As a result, you disappointed me too much. You actually called Su to two-on-one!"

Bai Ge: "Oh ho?"

Kalpas: "Cut! I'm a madman, not a fool. And if it weren't for the fact that this blind man is still useful, then let alone teaming up with him, I would have thrown him and you into the Sea of Quanta together."

Su: "Kevin, you don't know how to raise a child. Back then, were you going to let that child Adam eat noodles for all three meals a day, or eat Honkai beasts? And you aren't like me, who knows medicine and can treat the child when it's critical."

Although Mobius and Mei weren't impossible, as a "male mother" who is hard-mouthed but soft-hearted and actually very competent, it would be strange if Kalpas could hand the child to these two crazy scientists!

Hearing this, Bai Mou had already understood roughly.

This time Kevin was kicked into the Sea of Quanta by Kalpas and Su. Although he was crushed in terms of strength, because he wasn't the demon-possessed person in the original plot, but a sunny and cheerful big boy.

So...

Kevin inflated, flipped over, and went into the sea.

Bai Ge: "Embarrassing..."

Kevin's eyes twitched wildly, recalling what happened that day.

He had just arrived at the battle location, and as a result, he was temporarily controlled by Su, who had activated Human-Honkai Fusion.

Then he was hit into the Sea of Quanta by Kalpas, who had also activated Human-Honkai Fusion, with his right hand's An-Utu unsheathed and his left hand's Star of Eden. The whole process didn't even take three seconds. These two were clearly premeditated, and he hadn't even prepared to start fighting.

So although he didn't lose blood, he still couldn't escape the fate of going into the sea in the end, until he was fished out by everyone recently.

Kevin: "Thinking about it makes me angry! You two launched a sneak attack, you guys don't play fair! No strength!"

Kalpas: "Heh~ didn't you play quite happily in the Sea of Quanta later, Kevin."
