Bizarre Honkai, a Wife-Chasing Crematorium

At least for the three years Li Mo had left, Shigure Kira wanted to be by his side.

Cecilia generously took out a card, "Take it. I've saved up quite a bit over the years. Use it as you wish. We can talk about paying me back later."

Cecilia knew very well that if she directly gave Shigure Kira the card, she definitely wouldn't accept it. Don't be fooled by her usual carefree attitude; she was actually very stubborn. If someone helped her, Shigure Kira would find a way to repay the favor.

Once she decided on something or someone, she wouldn't change her mind and would see it through to the end. She was very persistent. So, she would never abandon Li Mo in his wheelchair.

"Thank you," Li Mo said to Cecilia with a calm smile.

Just as Shigure Kira had said, Cecilia in every world was very gentle and kind. Unfortunately, the treatment of the Century Orchid was ineffective on him. In the end, he still had to die, and he had to watch himself die slowly.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to Schicksal first. The Schicksal Overseer just changed not long ago, and Theresa still needs my help with many things," Cecilia said generously. In fact, she just wanted to leave the space for Shigure Kira and Li Mo.

Faced with such a result, both of them must be very disappointed... after waiting for so long...

Cecilia didn't dare to look Shigure Kira in the eyes, afraid of seeing those dazzling eyes become dim and lost.

She didn't need to look to know how disappointed Shigure Kira was at this moment.

Shigure Kira had mentioned to her long ago about using the Abyss Flower to treat Li Mo. Along the way, she had told her many, many stories about Li Mo. Although most of them were embellished with literary techniques, full of romantic colors and a girl's longing for her beloved.

"My beloved is a peerless hero. One day, he will come to marry me, clad in golden armor and riding on a seven-colored cloud!"

"Hehe, just kidding. As long as he's alive, the wedding doesn't have to be in a coffin."

From these stories, Cecilia knew what a radiant person Li Mo was in Shigure Kira's eyes.

Omnipotent. Yes, that was the only idiom that could be used to describe him.

Therefore, after waiting for so long and finally getting such an unsatisfactory result, the hope that had persisted for years collapsed in an instant. There was no need to explore her feelings any further.

The piercing cold wind would not become pleasant just because of the praise of a poem.

After Cecilia left, only Li Mo and Shigure Kira were left in the room, looking at each other.

"Li Mo..."

Shigure Kira lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, even though she hadn't done anything wrong.

"Go on, your plan. We don't need to hide anything from each other, right?"

Li Mo could see that Shigure Kira was hiding something, hesitating, wanting to say something but not wanting to.

"Yes."

Shigure Kira was very obedient. She always obeyed his orders absolutely.

"Three years. You only have three years. I want to be by your side and take care of you during these three years. Your body will only get worse in the future. You need someone to take care of you personally."

"I want to use the card Captain Cecilia gave me to take you shopping everywhere, to say what you want to say, to do what you want to do. To delay the arrival of death as much as possible..."

Shigure Kira didn't say any more. Li Mo was silent for a while, closed his eyes, and sighed, "And then? After I die, what do you plan to do? This death may not be a cycle. Good luck won't always be with us. If I die, I might really be dead."

"Are you planning to commit suicide after I die, after paying back all the expenses from these three years to Cecilia?"

Li Mo paused for two seconds and reached out to hold Shigure Kira's hand.

Her hand was very soft and warm, a stark contrast to his cold and stiff hand, like the difference between clouds and mud.

"This world is beautiful. For you, for me, and for many people."

"The Honkai has been suppressed, and people no longer have to suffer from natural disasters."

"The children in the orphanage have a complete life, from elementary school to junior high, then to high school and college... They have always been in touch with society and will find a good job in the future. Even if they don't, they can live better with Cecilia's help."

"For now, there is no Bizarre contamination in this world, and everyone can live a normal life."

"For me..."

Li Mo was silent for a while, his eyes flashing. Suddenly, a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"For me, this is my choice. I have no regrets. Here, as the guardian of many children, I have truly felt the achievement and happiness of taking care of others. And... the time I spent raising children with you, I was very happy. These are things I have never experienced before."

"I don't know if I did a good job. I just worked hard on this path and did my best to raise them. I don't need any rewards for all my efforts, but I still feel satisfied."

"Although it was only a short dozen years, it seems... to have been more peaceful and tranquil than the many years I spent dealing with the Bizarre."

"For you, Kira, do you... think it's worth it? What does it mean... to die for me?"

"This isn't fair to you. Whether it was before we crossed over, or in the world of the haunted house, you could have chosen to live a good life."

"Is it worth it?"

Li Mo asked.

Shigure Kira reached out with her other hand and wrapped it around Li Mo's cold right hand. His body temperature was very low, so low that Shigure Kira felt a bone-chilling cold, but it was not below zero. There was still a little bit of human warmth left. This was not a problem with the Bizarre, but with Li Mo's body.

"Then do you think it's worth it? Li Mo, why did you risk your life in paranormal incidents?"

"..."

"..."

Both of them fell silent at the same time. The time came to evening, and the two of them picked up the children and went home together. On the way, Li Mo and Shigure Kira did not say a word. It seemed that they were both questioning their own hearts, was it worth it?

Shigure Kira wanted to shout to Li Mo that it was worth it, that she was willing. But she knew that what Li Mo needed was not an answer, but a reason.

Many human behaviors need a reason, even if it is not reasonable or even a bit absurd. Even war is no exception. Interests, the fuse of war, the unspoken rules of society... no matter what the reason, behavior must have its corresponding motive.

So what was her reason? Was it just for a promise?

Love? The two of them were already engaged. They had long since become dependent on each other.

The love in words was meaningless. There must be... there must be a more satisfying reason! She had to find it in these three years, and then tell Li Mo frankly, to express her feelings completely!

"..."

"Hmph."

Li Mo snickered silently. Seeing Shigure Kira pull herself together, he couldn't help but praise his own actions.

He was disappointed and sad because the treatment failed. In order to help Shigure Kira get out of her negative emotions as soon as possible, Li Mo used a more troublesome way of speaking, luring her into a short-term goal to temporarily dispel the current gloom.

With Shigure Kira's intelligence, it was absolutely impossible to guess his thoughts. As for what to do after he died... he would talk about it when the time came. Anyway, the ending couldn't be worse.

At night, Seele arrived as scheduled, but there was an extra person in Li Mo's room.

"Brother... why is Sister Kira in your room?" Seele asked guiltily.

It was summer now. Even the usually conservative Li Mo allowed the children to dress more coolly.

Seele was sixteen, much more mature than in the original story. It seemed to be due to over-nutrition.

Now Seele was 1.72 meters tall, only half a head shorter than Li Mo. Her smooth and slender blue-black long hair was like a waterfall, hanging down to her waist. Without a hair tie, it looked a bit messy.

The shorts and short clothes exposed her slender limbs. Her white body, like a jade vase, reflected 　　

the bright light from the ceiling.

"Of course it's to sleep with Li Mo, hehe, to see if we can give you a little sister~ You can't bully her when she comes, you have to take good care of her as a big sister..." Kira said, lost in her fantasy. As she spoke, she took off her shoes and coat and pounced on Li Mo's soft bed. She even buried her face in the pillow, rubbing it repeatedly to feel the warmth of the bed.

It took a while for her to react and sit up, asking, "What are you doing here, Seele?"

"I, I... just wanted to ask how Brother is feeling recently, if his body is getting better..." Seele thought of a reason at random.

"Oh! Right, Li Mo told me that Seele is an obedient and sensible child. Not bad, not bad~" Shigure Kira looked at Seele with satisfaction.

Li Mo sat motionless in his wheelchair, but soon Shigure Kira hugged him onto the bed.

"Are you planning to sleep in the wheelchair? That won't do. Now that I'm back, I have to change all your bad habits. Let's start with going to bed early and waking up early!"

Li Mo: "..."

Seele: "..."

Going to bed early and waking up early, did you want him to die faster...

Li Mo looked back at Seele, and Seele looked at him pitifully, seeming to want him to help her speak, preferably to drive Shigure Kira out.

He couldn't do it. Although Shigure Kira unconditionally obeyed his orders, she would only become incredibly rebellious for commands that were obviously messing with her.

"Seele, let's sleep together tonight. Your Sister Kira wants to chat with you all night long."

"Huh? I..." I didn't know I wanted to chat with Seele all night long? Shigure Kira wondered inwardly.

Li Mo was silent, forcefully embedding his fingernails into his flesh. Shigure Kira suddenly understood. A Bizarre rule. Li Mo was reminding her to go with the flow. As for what the rule was... to chat all night, or to sleep together...

Wait? Sleep together?

Didn't that mean that when she was working outside, Li Mo had been sleeping with Seele all along?!

"Hmph..." Shigure Kira glared at Li Mo resentfully, pursing her lips and growling like a beast, trying to suppress her unhappy expression.

The expression was as if to say two words: "Hehe."

Li Mo didn't know why Shigure Kira would show that expression, but the top priority was to prevent Seele from leaving.

The reason Seele had given was too bad. Asking if his body was better, Li Mo would give an answer, and Seele would leave out of courtesy. At that time, he would likely fall into a "dream" again. So, no matter what, he had to keep Seele here first.

"Can I?" Seele asked tentatively.

"Of course you can. After all... the 'Big Boss' of our orphanage has spoken, who would dare to disobey? Right?"

Shigure Kira gently pinched Li Mo's waist, her face smiling, seeming not to mind Seele sharing the bed with them.

Just like that, a strange scene appeared.

Li Mo slept in the middle, the older Seele and the nearly-thirty Shigure Kira slept on either side, both facing Li Mo. The pressure was on.

"Brother, are you cold?" The first to break the silence was Seele.

Li Mo dared not respond too enthusiastically, and said faintly, "It's okay."

"Brother Li Mo~ I'm so cold, can I hug you tightly, woo woo~" Shigure Kira raised her voice, speaking with the voice of the Herrscher of Death, almost making Li Mo die on the spot.

You're an old aunt who's almost thirty, why are you arguing with a sixteen-year-old girl!

"Your jokes are colder than your body."

"Wuwu~ I've been disliked, a heartless man..." Shigure Kira sniffled, pretending to be abandoned by a heartless man, putting her right hand under her eyes, seemingly wiping away tears, even though there was nothing there.

Li Mo: "..."

If his body were fine, Li Mo would definitely bring Shigure Kira to justice on the spot and keep her awake all night, wailing in pain. The Monkey King knew seventy-two transformations, but he knew one hundred and eight ways to make Shigure Kira's expression contort beyond recognition. A mere Valkyrie was easy to deal with. There was no other reason, just practice makes perfect.

But he was a cripple now. The Abyss Flower couldn't save him, and neither could modern medicine.

"Brother, am I... bothering you? Maybe I should go back to my room first. Sister Kira looks so strange..."

"Wait."

Li Mo grabbed Seele's wrist, but because his strength was too weak, he couldn't hold on. Fortunately, Shigure Kira reacted quickly and grabbed Seele's wrist, pulling Seele onto herself with a single tug.

Seele's slender, white legs knelt on either side of Shigure Kira's body, her rosy nose facing her nose, the warm breath they exhaled clearly hitting each other's faces. There was a faint sweet smell.

In order to maintain her balance, Seele took the initiative and pressed Shigure Kira's wrists on the bed with both hands. The two looked at each other, their faces flushed.

The atmosphere became a little seductive. Li Mo even saw Seele and Shigure Kira clasping their hands together, their eyes flirting.

Li Mo: "..." The orange situation was great.

"I, I'm sorry... Seele didn't mean to."

Seele quickly got off Shigure Kira. This time, Shigure Kira didn't stop her, letting Seele return to Li Mo's other side. The quilt covered her entire head, and she didn't want to come out no matter how they called her.

That's right, Seele was already sixteen. It was normal to be shy, especially when sleeping in the same bed as an adult male.

"Why don't I just sleep in the wheelchair," Li Mo suggested.

Seele & Shigure Kira: "No!"
