Chapter 502: , Elysia: Friend or enemy, choose! (Seeking Auto-Subscription)

Inside the Fire Moth base.

Ribbons, balloons, and music decorated the usually plain and spacious hall, making it very lively and festive. The long table was filled with delicious food, and the base's warriors and staff were holding fine wine, celebrating humanity's victory once again.

A week had passed since the Herrscher of Wind was subjugated. Because they were busy dealing with the damage caused by the Fourth Honkai, the customary victory banquet was only being held now.

"Uh, although a victory banquet is a good thing, why do I feel like it's been particularly tiring on my side since just now?"

Bai Ge, wearing a white suit with gold trim, sat on the sofa, feeling slightly exhausted, and drank the champagne in his hand in one gulp.

From the moment he stepped into the venue, people kept coming to him to shake hands, take photos, ask for autographs, and chat about cooperation.

"Because, to be precise, this is a victory banquet for you alone, Captain. The Herrscher of Wind was subjugated by you alone, and everyone wants to get in touch with you, the hero." Hua said with a light smile.

"Is that so? Alright then... by the way, Hua, this outfit of yours is not bad. Who chose it?"

Bai Ge blinked, looking up and down at the girl's attire, feeling it was very novel.

At this moment, Hua was wearing a blue cheongsam. The slit wasn't very high, and every time the girl walked, it would reveal a bit of her fair calves, although her chest was still the usual "airport."

"Uh, it was Captain Himeko. Is it not suitable?"

Being stared at by Bai Ge's gaze, Hua felt a bit nervous and awkwardly pulled at the hem of her clothes, wanting to cover her legs.

"No, how could that be? You look very good in it."

"... Mmm, thank you, Captain." Hearing him give affirmation, Hua finally let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Actually, today is not just a victory banquet, but also a welcome banquet for new members."

"Oh, no wonder there are so many new faces."

Bai Ge nodded, then picked up the red wine bottle on the table and poured himself a full glass to drink. However, thinking that he was someone who couldn't get drunk, Bai Ge felt a bit regretful.

Seeing him frown, Hua hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Captain, are you unhappy?"

"Hmm? What should I be happy about?"

"Uh, happy that... humanity has once again defeated a Herrscher? And more companions have joined us, or... happy that your own battle record is even more brilliant?"

Hua's voice was very soft, as if she were probing.

But in her eyes, there were indeed many things worth being happy about, and others at the banquet were also very happy. However, only this person who should be the happiest was drinking "gloomy wine" as if he were depressed.

Hua only regretted that she wasn't Elysia and didn't know what this heroic boy was thinking. And that pink elf miss who often followed behind Bai Ge like a tail was nowhere to be found at the moment.

If Elysia were here, she would definitely be able to make the Captain happy—Hua thought to herself.

"Eh~ Hua, do you know how long it took me to solve the Herrscher of Wind this time?" Bai Ge shook his head and asked.

"I heard it was less than half an hour." Hua's eyes showed admiration and confusion.

Just being able to compete with a Herrscher alone was already an amazing feat, and Bai Ge even ended the Fourth Honkai in less than half an hour.

Hua naturally felt admiration.

She even felt that no one should not feel respect for him after knowing Bai Ge's battle record, but it was precisely because of this that she was confused why Bai Ge was still dissatisfied.

"30 minutes? That's probably because 29 minutes of it were spent on the way to the Herrscher of Wind."

Bai Ge recalled that he only used two punches to end the battle; one minute was probably an overestimation. ===== CHAPTER 503 =====
