The execution of the assassin is also imminent.
By the time Kevin escorted Dr. May inside, it had been a while since the incident had ended.
She kept her eyes closed the whole way, with Kevin leading the way by holding her hand—a rare instance of Kevin being so insistent.
In his view, faced with the world as it is now, both he and Mei would eventually become cold-blooded and ruthless.
This was something he couldn't help, but he still hoped that this day would come later, much later.
So, as they walked down that crimson corridor, Kevin firmly insisted that she not open her eyes under any circumstances.
After a long time.
They finally arrived at the destination of their trip.
An extremely secluded prison cell.
Fortunately, the person in the cell was extremely patient. She didn't dislike waiting; she was already used to it.
The cell door wasn't locked; it opened with a gentle push.
"Kevin, could you leave for a moment?"
Kevin didn't answer.
He observed the pink-haired girl before him once more—her eyes, the subtle movements of her hands, and… the unsheathed knife at her waist.
He shook his head, showing no intention of leaving.
Even if she did complete the deal with them, in his eyes, this sharp-edged girl was still extremely dangerous... and difficult to trust.
"Ok."
She closed her eyes, sighed, and then looked at the girl in the cell.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Miss Sakura."
“I’ve done what that man asked me to do. Now, it’s your turn to fulfill your promise.”
"I have erased all traces of you."
"Now, it's just Kevin and me by the lake that night. And Kevin's injury... was just an accident."
"You don't seem to be lying, so the deal is done. Goodbye."
The girl brushed past the two men and walked out of the cell.
“Sakura… I still hope you can reconsider what I told you about.”
The girl stopped in her tracks.
"Sakura, you should understand that one person's strength is ultimately limited."
"Right now, you might still be able to protect that girl, but when the Honkai strikes again... can you really still protect her?"
""
"Sakura, I hope you can join the Firemoth..."
Just for a moment.
In an instant, Sakura's blade was pressed against Dr. Mei's throat, and almost simultaneously, Kevin's pistol was pressed against Sakura's brow.
"You shouldn't know about her."
“Sakura, you don’t need to be so nervous. This isn’t blackmail, it’s just stating the facts.”
"Your appearance made me realize one thing: the enemy we face is not just the Honkai."
“We… do need someone like you.”
""
“And you… Sakura, you should know better than me that times have changed.”
"Right now, a person and a knife alone cannot protect anything."
""
"If you still want to leave, then go ahead. No one will stop you."
"But such a deal will never be mentioned to you again."
""
"That kind of disaster... the Honkai you speak of, will it happen again?"
"Yes, and more than once."
""
""
There was a long silence.
The girl closed her eyes.
What reached their ears first was a sigh, followed by the crisp sound of a sword being sheathed.
"cherry."
"Welcome to the Moth Chaser."
As Sakura was successfully persuaded, she officially joined the [Moth Chasing Fire].
Dr. May's plan to expand her influence within the organization is also progressing steadily.
To avoid unnecessary internal strife in the future, she decided to intervene in the power struggle within the [Moth Chaser].

It was Sakura's joining that led her to undergo genetic modification as a fusion warrior.
The original four Fusion Warriors of the Firemoth were also gradually identified!
[Kevin, Alicia, Mebius, Sakura]
However, the technology used to initially fuse warriors was not yet mature.
Surgery is often accompanied by significant side effects.
Alicia's elf ears, Sakura's fox ears, and Mebius's youth.
And Kevin's body temperature is always -30 degrees Celsius.
A conversation that seems to be from a future Raiden Mei in the Paradise of the Past appears, where she is talking to everyone.
Your ears...
Alicia: "It's okay, you can ask freely, I don't mind~"
"That's also a result of the surgery, right? Just like Kevin's constitution."
Alicia: "To be precise, these elven-like ears are merely a derivative of the effect."
Alicia: "When I became a fusion warrior, this technology was not yet mature, and the surgery was often accompanied by obvious side effects."
Alicia: "Kevin, Sakura, and her... everyone is like this, but in me, the change... is even somewhat... indescribable."
Mei's expression changed slightly.
His tone became more serious: "What happened?"
Alicia: "There might be something wrong with the super-mutant factor. As a result, my body's metabolism is completely out of control."
Alicia: "--I guess it's like this: no matter how much I eat, I won't gain weight, and I'll have a beautiful figure even without exercising."
Alicia: "Even though my sleep schedule is already terrible, my skin is getting better every day, I don't get pimples, and my hair is getting fluffy."
Alicia: "As a result, the concept of 'beauty' no longer feels real to me. Sigh, this is the price I paid."
""
Alicia: "You should cherish your current body and not end up like me."
Alicia: "Haha! So you care about this kind of thing~ How cute!"
"I don't want to talk to you anymore."
A silence fell.
It wasn't just Mei's expression that paused for a moment.
The expressions of countless viewers off-screen were even more fascinating.
[Raiden Mei:]
[March 7th: ? ? ? ? ? ? ]
[Silver Wolf: ? ? ? ? ? ? ]
[Honkai Impact 3rd - Himeko: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ]
[Qin: ? ? ? ? ? ]
Charlotte: ? ? ? ? ? ?
[Su Chang: This... what kind of price is this?!]
[Gan Yu: I can eat whatever I want and I won't gain weight?!?]
[Himeko Hoshino: Is this even human language??]
[Walnut: That's outrageous!!]
Kiana: QAQ What kind of amazing side effect is this?!
then.
The scene shifts to a conversation between Mei and Sakura.
"I think you must be a rather special case among fusion warriors."
"...How do you know?"
Mei turned her gaze to the long ears that shouldn't have been there.
"That can't be a hair accessory, right?"
""
"Besides you, I've only seen a similar phenomenon in Alicia."
"Is the technology that made you Fusion Warriors different from others? Or... did you become Fusion Warriors earlier than others?"
Sakura did not answer immediately either.
Instead, they turned their gaze to the pair of scarlet horns on Mei's head.
“I thought you wouldn’t care about this like other visitors do.”
"Whether it's a Herrscher or a Fusion Warrior... these powers are never gifts, but rather trades that come at a heavy price. I know that very well."
"So you should be used to the way other people look at you by now."
"Awe, suspicion, and soon... will turn into hatred."
“Hatred—that’s certainly all too familiar to me. But I don’t quite understand it; after all, there’s a fundamental difference between a Fusion Warrior and a Herrscher.”
"You have been fighting to protect humanity from beginning to end, so why have you ended up in the same situation as me?"
"The fear of [others] is a human instinct... it is pervasive and impossible to suppress."
"Unfortunately, we failed to realize this when we gave up our human form."
"Then they should know why the Fusion Warriors took this step."
“Miss Mei, if I may be so bold, perhaps you have placed yourself on a pedestal for too long.”
“Some of our actions, even if unintentional, deserve to be hated by those enthusiasts who want to survive in the ruins.”
"This is also one of the reasons why I don't want to be seen clearly in my actions—you save some people, but the process of slowly leaving under their gaze is so heavy."
And immediately after.
I overheard Kevin's information from other people's conversations!
"Ok.
