Chapter 513: , Sakura: I can

"No, no, you can't touch my ears…"

Sakura held her head with both hands and took a few steps back. Bai Ge looked at the long pink ears moving further and further away from him, revealing a hint of disappointment. He really wanted to *rua* them so badly~~!

"Eh~ alright then…"

Come to think of it, this was the first time Bai Mou had been rejected when wanting to *rua* something. For a moment, he wasn't quite used to it. The look in his eyes as he gazed at Sakura changed instantly, as if to say, "Woman, you have successfully caught my attention."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Kosma and Vill-V were also looking in the mirror to see if they had grown any new parts. After looking around, they found nothing, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Their surgery was perfect. Although the Super-Variation Surgery didn't make Kosma grow anything extra, the Vishnu he fused with would grant him the ability to absorb other Honkai Beasts a second time.

In the process, he might suspiciously grow horns, a tail, claws, or something similar, but compared to resisting these…

Kosma: "Just thinking about it makes it sound cool!"

One can only say that the acceptance level of a *chuunibyou* teenager is very high.

As for the last one remaining, Vill-V, she also had quite a bit of potential. If not for the fact that she didn't survive past the tragedy of the Binding in the original fate, she might have been a warrior worthy of the title of Flame-Chaser.

After all, she was a rare mental-perception type Fusion Warrior and could use telekinesis. Now, this girl was already manipulating herself, letting herself float around in mid-air.

Vill-V: "Woohoo~ fun~!"

In the end, all three used their abilities once, letting Bai Ge and Mobius record the data. For the subsequent Chimera Project, this was an important and necessary move.

Bai Ge: "Congratulations to you all for becoming important cornerstones of humanity's fight against Honkai. As high-tier Fusion Warriors, you will possess power far beyond that of ordinary soldiers. However, although 【to subjugate the evil dragon, we shall use the dragon's scales and claws】, never forget the fact that you were born human."

"Yes! Captain Bai Ge!" x3

All three saluted to show they understood.

Bai Ge nodded with satisfaction. He knew that in the original fate, all three were heroes who fought for humanity until the very last moment of their lives. But in the story he was writing, death would no longer be their ending!

But now, one of them was still in a state of confusion.

Bai Ge: (I hope Sakura can reveal her heart soon. The sooner the better, preferably tonight~)

……………………

When night fell.

A pink silhouette appeared in the corridor. She easily avoided all the guarding soldiers, was discovered by no one, and quietly snuck to the door of Bai Ge's room.

(I didn't expect becoming a Fusion Warrior to boost my strength so much. I feel like I can do anything now… better not get too arrogant, eh~~)

Sakura put on the black and white mask of the Poison Moth.

This was a mask she only wore when executing special missions, and only when the mission was over would she take it off.

And the moment she put on this mask, she was no longer Sakura, but the assassin codenamed "Forget-Me-Not."

Although for an assassin, such a codename was perhaps a bit too sentimental…

"It really was this simple to get in."

After fiddling for a little while, she opened the door.

Sakura looked with surprise at the easily cracked door lock. She had expected it to take some effort, but the result showed that Bai Ge's door lock was no different from anyone else's.

After hesitating for a moment, the Forget-Me-Not girl took off her boots at the door, then took a deep breath and held it, only then stepping into Bai Ge's bedroom.

Facing this strongest human, she had to lower the sound by even a single decibel to have a better chance of getting close enough to Bai Ge to swing her blade.

"…………"

Sakura's mood was very complicated right now.

She didn't want to kill Bai Ge because she knew the boy was a good person and had saved her life.

She wanted to kill Bai Ge because only then could she complete the mission, see her sister again, and continue to live.

She hoped her infiltration would fail and she would be discovered, because then the mission would definitely fail, but her movements remained very careful, causing absolutely no sound.

(Forget it, no matter the result of this mission, my final ending is the same. That was an ending destined from the moment I chose to become an assassin.)

Sakura quietly crept to the bedside, watching the young man and young girl who were still embracing even in their sleep. A trace of envy overflowed in her eyes, and she felt apologetic once again for her actions.

However, just as the *tachi* in her hand was about to fall with the speed of a *Setsuna* worthy of its name.

"Bai Ge is sleeping, you can't disturb him, you know. And Sakura, girls should be more reserved. Breaking into a boy's bedroom in the middle of the night isn't very nice, is it〃~."

"Elysia…"

"Shh~! Alright, game over."

Sakura's attention was entirely focused on the strike toward Bai Ge, but she never expected that the boy she was wary of was still sleeping peacefully, yet the pink-haired girl had noticed her.

Caught off guard, she was subdued by Elysia in one move, a pink crystal rapier pressed against Sakura's throat.

"Why?"

There was confusion in Sakura's eyes. She didn't think Elysia's strength was greater than Bai Ge's, but the result was that when faced with her attack, only she had reacted.

"Well~ my Bai Ge is super strong but has a weakness: as long as he judges someone to be an important person, he won't have any vigilance or defense. It's because I was too close to him that he couldn't be wary of you. Also… Sakura, you aren't allowed to speak loudly right now."

Elysia held a finger to her lips in a showy manner.

"Unless I speak super loudly, Bai Ge won't wake up. But if you make even a slightly louder sound, he will wake up immediately."

"…………"

The corner of Sakura's eye twitched slightly. She didn't expect Bai Ge to have such an unknown weakness. Although after hearing it, she couldn't help but feel that such a weakness was somewhat beautiful.

Elysia lovingly stroked the boy's cheek, as if touching the most expensive and beautiful work of art. She also felt happy and honored to be trusted so much.

Therefore, she made up her mind never to let anyone use this weakness of Bai Ge's. Since his vigilance would go offline when he was with her, then she would be the one to protect him!

By the way, the reason she could discover Sakura was that Elysia was an unexpectedly professional expert in anti-infiltration.

Back then, the Snake's repeated infiltrations attempting to steal food were all blocked by this pink fairy.

In the process, her anti-infiltration skills were maxed out.

"…………"

Sakura put down the *tachi* in her hand and raised both hands.

This was clearly a sign of surrender. Not just Bai Ge, but Elysia was also an opponent she couldn't defeat.

However, just as Sakura was thinking about how much longer she could live.

She saw Elysia skillfully pull carbon fiber rope and a handkerchief from under the bed, and under Sakura's stunned expression, tie her up in a *kikashibari* (torture binding), then stuff the handkerchief into her mouth.

What does this woman want to do?!

Sakura was suddenly a little panicked. Shouldn't she wake Bai Ge up and discuss how to deal with her at this time?

Although she could understand that to prevent her from struggling, tying her up was a necessary action, this pink fairy really didn't seem like a decent person!

How is this anything but a *kikashibari*!!

Just knowing how to do it is already strange enough, why are you so skilled at tying it, Elysia!

(Mobius: "…………")

Sakura: "Wuwuwuwu!"

Elysia: "Sorry Sakura, the handkerchief was used to stuff Mobius's mouth before, just make do with it. We'll talk about things when we wake up tomorrow, okay~ After all, I can't bear to disturb Bai Ge's sleep time."

Sakura: "…………"
