V2/Chapter 3: They All Care
Although the Fire Moth is an organization that fights against Honkai, the atmosphere at the headquarters does not always maintain a tense state of war. In order to relieve everyone's stress on weekdays, the Fire Moth has also built many facilities for relaxation and entertainment.
For example, the banquet hall used for holding dances is a large building. In addition to the largest main hall, there are many secondary halls. If someone wants to use this place to hold an event, they just need to submit an application, and they can use it after it is approved.
The dinner that Elysia held exclusively for the fusion warriors was held in one of the secondary halls. It was far away from the dance in the main hall, so there was no need to worry about it being affected.
By the time Ai Yue brought Pardofelis to the dinner, almost everyone was there.
"Hey, isn't this our protagonist today? He's finally here?"
Elysia, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, was wearing a maid outfit and winked at Pardofelis playfully. "Isn't this little Pardo? It's been a long time since we last met."
"Sister Elysia!" As soon as Pardofelis saw Elysia, she immediately ran over and ignored Ai Yue, "I missed you so much!"
Not only do fusion warriors and ordinary soldiers live in different areas, but they also perform very different tasks. In addition, their daily routines are also different, so even if they are in the same base on weekdays, they rarely have the chance to meet each other.
After all, not everyone can be like Ai Yue, who has nothing to do and goes to the ordinary soldiers' canteen to eat.
While the two were still chatting, Ai Yue walked straight in. The scale of the dinner was not large, and the number of people inside would not exceed twenty at most, but the decoration was very warm. It was obvious that Elysia had put a lot of effort into it in the past two days.
"Dr. Ai Yue, this way!"
Ai Yue was still looking around at the door when his attention was attracted by a voice. Ato was standing in the dessert area on the left, smiling and waving at him.
Next to him stood a woman with shoulder-length silver hair, and in Ato's arms was a little girl who was trying hard to grab the donut but was always just a little short of it because of her father's restraint.
The girl looks to be about five or six years old, but the father is still reluctant to let go and it is obvious that he loves his daughter very much.
"This is my wife, Blanca." When Ai Yue approached, Ato introduced the people around him with a happy face, "Although she is now a sinecure, she was once a senior researcher at the First Research Institute and an assistant to Dr. Mobius!"
"Hello, Dr. Ai Yue." Blanca had a beautiful face and a gentle smile. She was obviously a good wife and mother. She bowed slightly towards Ai Yue as a greeting, "Thank you for your contribution in this war, and for allowing my husband Ato to return safely from the battlefield."
"Hello." Ai Yue also nodded and said, "I can't end the war alone. Ato's role is also crucial."
"Oh, why are you talking about that?" Ato was a little embarrassed. It seemed that for him, not playing much of a role on the battlefield was a very embarrassing thing. "Well, and this one is our precious daughter, Griseo. Come, Griseo, say hello to Dr. Ai Yue~"
Ato reached out and grabbed one of Griseo's arms and waved it, probably to greet her on behalf of his daughter, while Blanca considerately picked up the donut that she had been craving for and put it into the girl's hand.
Only after she grabbed the donut did the girl finally regain her attention. She raised her head, looked at the young man in front of her, and waved the donut in her hand: "Dr. Ai Yue...Brother."
"Just call me Brother Ai Yue." Ai Yue smiled and waved to Griseo, and at the same time took out a beautiful crystal pendant from his pocket. "This is our first meeting, and I don't have anything to prepare. I'll give you this little gift."
"How can this be possible…"
Blanca subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, it was not nice to accept a gift from someone on the first meeting. But Ato took it quickly and then happily put it around Griseo's neck: "Thanks, Dr. Ai Yue. Come on Griseo, put it on and let daddy see if it looks good!"
Ai Yue did not disturb the happy life of this family anymore. He just glanced at the three people again and turned away.
You can still vaguely hear the conversation between the couple.
"What's wrong with you? How can you be so rude?"
"Oh, what do you know? Dr. Ai Yue is not a stingy person, and he is super powerful. The things he can give away must be good things!"
As someone who has personally experienced the weapons produced by Ai Yue, Ato naturally understands Ai Yue's level. What's more, this crystal pendant looks extraordinary and is a perfect match for his daughter!
Griseo did not comment, but seeing that she was holding the crystal pendant with both hands and did not care even if the donut fell on the ground, she must like it very much.
Of course, no food was wasted tonight, and the food that the daughter didn't want would naturally be taken care of by her father.
Listening to the conversation behind him, Ai Yue finally couldn't help but smile.
In the original plot, Blanca would fall into a dream created by the Eighth Herrscher and eventually die of organ failure. Although Griseo managed to survive until the dream ended, she was still on the verge of death, forcing Mobius to perform the Fusion Warrior surgery on her to save her life despite everyone's dissuasion.
However, even though Griseo was lucky enough to survive thanks to the fusion warrior surgery, the top leaders of the Fire Moth were afraid of the strange abilities she displayed and eventually exiled her to the deepest place.
If she hadn't received Aponia's care there, it would have been difficult for Griseo, a little girl less than ten years old, to survive in such a place.
And there is Dystopia. As a psychic-perception fusion warrior, she must have played a crucial role in the original battle, and that's why she sacrificed herself for it.
But none of this happened. The family of three still lived together warmly, and Kosma did not lose the person who was very important to him - because Ai Yue changed everything that would have happened.
It is indeed a wonderful experience to see people who were supposed to die still alive and well. Even if no one knows what happened and even if no one can claim the credit, Ai Yue is still happy for his efforts.
Children can still grow up happily with the company of their parents, and ignorant boys and girls will have the opportunity to build deeper relationships in the future. What a wonderful thing.
This is probably the meaning of his traveling to this world.
