“He has no reason to refuse; it’s a mutually beneficial deal for him,” Dr. Einstein said. “Then the next thing to decide is who will go to the moon. The Second Herrscher specifically requested that the Alliance Leader go, so he is indispensable. And Mr. Siegfried will accompany Schicksal.”

That's it?

“That’s all.” Einstein nodded.

"What about me?" Mo Mo pointed to himself. "Why didn't you take me with you?"

“It would be too risky to fight the Second Herrscher to the death there, so the focus of this operation is for the Alliance Leader to try to hold off the Second Herrscher as much as possible, while Mr. Siegfried goes to the lunar surface to collect the Soul Steel samples we need to prepare for the battle later,” Einstein said, explaining their considerations.

"Isn't that sending Walter to his death?" Mo Mo looked at Walter, who was calmly lying on the hospital bed reading a book. "Are you really that stubborn?"

Walter took off his headphones, closed his book, and looked up at Mo Mo with a blank expression.

From this indifference, Mo Mo saw seriousness and determination.

"What you just did..."

"Don't play dumb, I know you can hear me."

"..."

34. Walter's Stubbornness

Under the bright lights of the ward, Mo Mo crossed his arms and stared intently at Walter, as if determined not to give up easily.

"You have to give me an explanation today. Why wasn't I included on this trip to the moon?" Mo Mo squinted. "Don't try to brush this off with excuses like 'I didn't hear it.'"

Surprisingly, he was somewhat aggressive.

"..." Walter sighed silently, without answering.

“Mr. Momo, I have already explained…” Einstein wanted to repeat what he had just said, but this time Walter waved his hand and interrupted him.

"Ain, you and Tesla can go out first."

"Lord of the Alliance."

“I have something to say to him,” Walter said calmly.

"???" This turn of events was unexpected for Mo Mo.

"Understood." Einstein didn't say much more, obediently stood up, and tugged at Tesla, who had been silent until now. "Dr. Tesla, let's go."

"..."

Tesla has been silent and dejected since the beginning, and now she is letting Einstein drag her away.

"Why did you send them away?"

“I think this will seem more formal,” Walter explained casually, adjusting his glasses. “Doesn’t it create a better atmosphere?”

"..." Momo felt that Walter seemed to have a knack for making people laugh with a straight face. "Please go on."

"Regarding this trip to the moon, our plan is as I just said: I will hold off the Second Herrscher to buy time for Siegfried to collect Soul Steel samples and return to Earth," Welt repeated. "The Second Herrscher should have acquired new power and knowledge on the moon. She is no longer the little girl who had power but could not use it properly. Even if I go all out now, the probability of defeating her will not exceed... 1%."

The consequences of failure are self-evident.

Walter calmly recited this cruel probability, as if he were discussing the life and death of someone else.

"Shouldn't you have taken me with you? Do you also think I'm weak?"

"And then how much will the win rate increase?" Walter remained unmoved. "2%? 10%? Or 20%?"

"..."

The moon is now Sirin's territory, and fighting there will inevitably lead to isolation and helplessness, even if Sirin does not set any additional traps.

“Mo Mo, please allow me to address you that way as well,” Walter continued. “I don’t think you are weak. On the contrary, your strength has exceeded my initial expectations. That’s why you shouldn’t be doing such a dangerous thing with me. Staying on Earth and waiting for an opportunity is a better choice.”

"Mo Zai, did you hear that? He said you're really amazing."

[That's a fact! I'm not weak at all!]

But what would happen if they really had to face Sirin, who had become a five-core Herrscher?

Mo Mo was a little afraid to think about it.

Then let's just not think about it.

"According to you, you really believe me, a complete stranger of unknown origin? We're not even acquainted, are we?"

Despite having only known each other for a very short time, they acted as if the responsibility of saving the world had been entrusted to them.

“But there are people in the world who are willing to do that…” Walter sighed, as if recalling the past.

The person I've always looked up to as a role model.

Am I about to walk the same path myself?

"It seems like there's a story behind it..." Mo Mo clicked his tongue.

It's probably a tribute to the first Herrscher, Welt Joyce, who sacrificed his life to protect the world and pass on the Herrscher core.

“Would you like to hear it? Then let me tell you a story of a hero.” Walter’s deep gaze seemed to pierce through the barrier of time. “It was in Berlin in 1952…”

"Stop, stop, stop, that's not the point right now," Mo Mo quickly interrupted.

Is it going to be a flashback segment next?

“Ahem, that’s true. If you’re interested in learning more, please don’t miss the visual novel Anti-Entropy.” Walter said seriously. “Now let’s get back to the main topic. Momo, as an individual who belongs to neither Destiny nor Anti-Entropy, you won’t be subject to any unnecessary constraints. And… in my opinion, you are much more trustworthy than Bishop Otto.”

"Why?" Mo Mo couldn't help but wonder if he was blessed with some extraordinary aura.

For example, something like maximum affability?

Although Otto has a lot of dark history, is a bit cunning, uses dirty methods, and seems a bit hypocritical...

Well, that guy deserves to be disbelieved.

The difference in quality is immediately apparent.

No, I think he meant that you're completely innocent and there's no need to be wary of you.

【...】

“Intuition,” Walter replied, though not as bluntly as the system. “I believe you are a good person.”

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received another "Good Guy Card".]

"When you faced the Second Herrscher before, you said you wanted to save her because you believed that you could reach a mutual understanding," Welt countered. "Do you still believe that now?"

“I don’t think she’s completely beyond redemption.” This time, Mo Mo wasn’t as confident as before.

Having faced the God of Honkai, does she, who has transformed into a five-core Herrscher, still retain a trace of humanity?

But Mo Mo still chose to believe Xilin.

Otherwise, the Earth's population would have decreased by tens of millions by now.

"Even if it's just to verify this, I insist on seeing her on the moon."

"Mutual understanding... what an inspiring word! Didn't we all initially want to resolve things through communication...?"

"She should still listen to me to some extent, so..."

“No, I will not allow you to go to the moon with me.” Walter suddenly became stern. “Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla also support my view.”

"What?!"

Mo Mo was almost going crazy.

All that talking was completely useless.

“I’ll repeat myself, we can’t put all our eggs in one basket. If Siegfried and I can both return safely from the moon, that would be great. But if not…” Walter paused for a moment, “you are our next hope. You understand the Second Herrscher better than anyone else, and you may indeed have the power to create miracles.”

Of course, it's only a possibility.

Walter did not say this aloud.

"Then I'll ask you one last question." Since appealing to emotions hadn't worked, Mo Mo could only try reasoning with her. "If you go to the moon to your death like this, aren't you just giving Sirin another Herrscher core for nothing? Aren't you just making things harder for us?"

“That would be another high-stakes gamble.” Walter remained unmoved. “I believe it will all be worth it.”

"..."

No matter what you do, it won't work. This person is just too stubborn.

"Ugh, I can't be bothered with you. Go ahead and die."

Unable to persuade Walter, Momo could only vent his frustration in despair.

But if we wanted to go to the moon, even with wings, we couldn't get there.

"..." Walter silently watched Mo Mo storm out of the room, slamming the door shut. Then he put his headphones back on and picked up his book.

Such peaceful times are numbered.

......

【System, I'm asking you, have you...?】 Leaning against the closed door, Mo Mo immediately turned his attention to the system.

No, get out.

I haven't even asked yet!
