Collapse: Herrscher at the beginning, pre-rebirth civilization

——It was the last moment of my life, and I was able to see my beloved by my side, with a heartfelt satisfaction and a regretful smile.

She was glad that when she left, the idiot boy she loved accompanied her through the last journey of her life.

She regretted that when she left, she was seen by the boy who also loved her deeply. She blamed herself for letting him, who was helpless, only add to the regret and scars in her heart.

The two had already said their goodbyes, and even though Cosmo was unwilling to accept this fact, everything was irreversible.

"Sorry, Mo, I don't know about this..."

"It's okay. Captain, you are the second to know about this... Xiaoya is lying in my arms. She died right in front of me."

On the smashed slate bricks next to it, there is Cosmo's communicator at the moment, and there is an unpretentious gift box.

The gift box has been opened, and lying quietly in the gift box is a harmonica.

It was a gift specially prepared by Destobia for the boy she liked before she was alive.

She knew the youth's stupidity, so after being guided by many comrades in arms, Destobia had already decided to take the initiative by herself while giving gifts.

After all, anyone can tell that the two of them like each other, but they are too timid to say it.

However, no one expected that the eighth Great Honkai would erupt, delaying everything.

For the future of human civilization, they had no choice but to set foot on the battlefield, so this matter was temporarily left behind by Destobia.

But now, she finally had the opportunity to speak out. She gave this gift to the boy she loved and expressed her heart.

It's just ironic that when I finally fulfilled my wish, it was at the end of my life...

"Mo, then...don't just cry casually?"

The tone that should have been naughty in the past has softened a lot now.

"I'm not too sad. The seniors said that once some things become fixed, we can't undo it no matter what."

"Because regret medicine doesn't exist in this world, right, Captain?"

Alicia was silent for a while, then sighed helplessly:

"...Oh, really, Ah Xiu, why don't I tell you everything."

Although she was talking about others, Alicia knew that what Su Shixiu said to Cosmo had an effect at this moment.

Maybe it was really cruel, someone important to him died in front of him, and he couldn't feel too sad.

But in the current era, human beings can only do so in the face of collapse.

This is the tragedy of this era.

"...Captain, I don't understand Xiaoya's thoughts."

"Um??"

"Well, let me repeat the original words."

"Ok!"

Taking a deep breath and exhaling long, the dullness and sadness in my heart became much lighter.

"I hope that everyone I know can hold a heavy weight in my heart. Even if everyone is gone, I can still remember their existence for a long time."

"Hmm... It's a little hard to understand. If you don't know, Mo, Xiaoya, you should understand it better than us, right?"

Cosmo shook his head, "I think it might be difficult."

"How about it, Captain, after the eighth Great Honkai is over, I'll go back and give you a gift."

"Huh? Really, then I will thank you in advance, the lovely Mo~"

"...as long as I can go back alive."

In a word, the two fell into silence again.

But soon, Alicia's voice came again:

"I will definitely come back alive. Ah Mo, I, all of us, will definitely be alive!"

For some reason, Cosmo felt a little excitement from her captain.

"...Captain, I want to be alone, please be quiet for a while."

"Okay, Mo, you must pay attention to safety?!"

"……Um."

After hanging up the communication, lying on the ruins of the building behind him, looking at the huge body of the Honkai beast in front of him, Cosmo's heart became more complicated.

Even if he wiped out the monster that killed Xiaoya, but Xiaoya...

"If I knew it earlier, I should have confessed to you earlier."

"Obviously senior also persuaded me, why should I be so cowardly..."

The setting sun on the ruins of the doomsday shone on the earth like this, setting off a picture of despair, and it was frozen.

And under the setting sun, the bodies of Cosmo and Destobia in his arms were stretched to a very long length.

And in the gift box on the slate next to it, the harmonica is reflecting the most dazzling and golden sunlight of the setting sun.
