Chapter 156: Herrschers Should All Die, Even Me
Although both VIP tickets were given to Lee, Elysia still ended up entering the venue with Lee and Mei.
Originally, Lee planned to buy another ticket, but the popularity of Eden's concert far exceeded her expectations. Not to mention buying VIP tickets, even the trees outside the venue were full of people. Even Lee, who was experienced and had seen a lot, was a bit surprised.
As expected, public figures like celebrities were popular. Lee thought if Eden had a system, then her fake fall on stage later would definitely generate a lot of energy.
Speaking of which, if she debuted, maybe she could also make something of it. After all, she had the charm trait, which was super effective on ordinary people…
Judging from those students at Chiba Academy, Lee felt that as long as she wanted to, not to mention being a celebrity, even becoming a cult leader or a certain mustached dictator wasn't impossible… But that would probably anger those extraordinary groups.
Too bad she was a good person~
In short, in the end, Lee used the two VIP tickets to exchange for three regular tickets. The three people who exchanged tickets with her seemed very happy, after all, the former's value was much higher. The only problem was one less seat.
But the boy very proactively gave the ticket to his girlfriend and her male best friend, and then helped them hold their bags and waited in front of them, looking quite happy… Not only did Mei and Elysia not know what to say, even Lee, as a "bad woman," could only sigh that lap dogs were really amazing.
She couldn't bear to really just take Mei to the concert and leave Elysia outside alone, alas. And even have someone help watch their things, it was simply killing and heart-punishing.
Sure enough, she still had a long way to go to reach a state of moral vacuum.
…
"Well, regular seats have their advantages compared to VIP seats~"
A few minutes later, Elysia, sitting in her seat, didn't show any dissatisfaction at all about the VIP seats being downgraded to regular seats, but instead looked very happy. "This way we're sitting closer together, alas!"
"After all, the seats are smaller." Lee said apologetically. "Sorry, I should have bought your ticket earlier if I had known this concert was so popular."
"It's okay, this is good too!"
Elysia's smile was even brighter. Although the plan to deepen her relationship with Lee alone had failed, but now it was buy-one-get-one-free, wasn't it even better to get to DD
Unfortunately, Mei, sitting on the other side of Elysia, didn't think so.
Why did this guy have to sit in the middle… Mei was speechless at Elysia, who had very proactively squeezed herself between her and Lee.
For Mei, coming to the concert with Lee, the important thing wasn't the concert, but being with Lee.
Now, the person sitting next to her wasn't Lee, but this pink-hair. What was this about… Could this person be trying to dig at her wall [dig at someone's wall - poaching someone's romantic interest]?
No, Lee knew her for longer than she knew herself, so she was the one digging at the wall?
Realizing the blind spot, Mei fell into contemplation.
"Speaking of which, Lee, you've been going for more than three months, how's the feeling of being in high school?" Elysia leaned towards Lee curiously. "I haven't been to school yet."
"Hmm, it's about the same as in junior high. Everyone studies together, participates in clubs, and youth is in full swing, that kind of thing."
Lee pondered. "Everyone is very enthusiastic, even a bit too enthusiastic… It's usually troublesome for me to participate in group activities. For example, when playing basketball, the opposing team will directly throw the ball into their own basket, and people on my own team will also scramble for the ball and throw it into the basket. Basketball games have become dunk contests."
"Sounds like fun~" Elysia narrowed her eyes with a smile, but soon became a little depressed. "I also want to take a vacation, but the higher-ups won't allow it, saying they need to keep enough combat power."
"Sorry, sorry, please bear with it for a while." Lee put her hands together, helplessly. "I will definitely compensate you when this matter is over."
"This matter…" Elysia's expression also became a bit serious, which was rare. "Will the Third really happen in Nagazora City?"
"Yes, and I can feel the time is getting close."
Lee looked towards the center of the venue. In the earth-shattering cheers, a lady with long wine-red hair and a good figure walked onto the stage. And while everyone was too excited to notice their surroundings, it was a good time to say some important information.
"The number of small Honkai outbreaks in Nagazora City has been skyrocketing recently. Honkai beasts and Deadman are appearing almost every day… At most three months, the Third Honkai should be born."
"Herrscher…" Even Elysia, optimistic as she was, had a change in expression after hearing Lee's words. She had already truly experienced in the first two Honkai how great the destructive power of this humanoid disaster was. "Why do they have to do such things? Have they despaired of the world?"
"Don't know, and I don't want to know." Lee's answer was without the slightest hesitation. "What I have to do is just protect humans, and for those who are enemies of humanity, my answer to them is only death."
"…What if there are Herrschers who don't harm humans?"
"At least I haven't seen such an existence yet." Lee turned her head to look at Elysia beside her, her expression was so serious that it was even a bit cold. "If I become a Herrscher one day, I hope you can kill me without hesitation."
[Energy +20000]
For some reason, Elysia found Lee's gaze a little hard to look at directly, so much so that she subconsciously averted her gaze. "You're being a bit too extreme, Lee… That kind of situation won't happen."
"It's best if it doesn't."
Lee smiled, lowering her head, but that smile seemed a bit lonely. "But, if there's someone who can kill me when I become a Herrscher, that person should only be you, Elysia."
[Energy +50000]
"—Okay, let's not talk about such unhappy things!"
Elysia suddenly spoke loudly, startling Mei on the other side, startling her out of her own thoughts.
"Let's talk about something happy instead." Elysia held up her finger and shook it, laughing, "Have you encountered anything interesting at school? Or anyone you're interested in?"
"Mei beside you is a very important person, you know."
Lee, who had successfully milked a sum of energy, even had a bit more sincerity in her smile. "If nothing unexpected happens, she will soon become our colleague. Of course, not a combatant, but a researcher like Dr. Mobius."
"I see, no wonder she has such an aura with glasses!"
Elysia's sparkling eyes obviously made Mei a little unable to cope, and she cast a look of help towards Lee opposite her.
Lee was just about to speak when suddenly her ears twitched, and she heard two familiar voices in this noisy venue, so she immediately changed the words she was about to say.
"Well, besides Mei, I did encounter one…"
As if thinking of something interesting, Lee covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. "A very interesting person."
