To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Reality doesn't bow to one person's ideas...

Disasters are rarely ended by the sacrifice of one person.

"Kiana—" A gentle and mature voice suddenly appeared, both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

【Whatisreflectedinmyeyes?Notthemoonlightinastarlessmidnight】

What is reflected in my eyes? It's not the moonlight of a starless night that's shimmering.

【thatshowersonthepeoplepassingby.】

[Projected onto the bustling crowd]

Kiana looked to the side and saw Himeko standing beside her, smiling at her with one hand on Kiana's hand as she pushed the stove.

"Himeko...Sensei?"

Kiana's voice was surprised and slightly choked, but Himeko remained silent and looked at her gently.

...

With a loud "Wah!", Pado wiped away her tears, her eyes still brimming as she watched everything in the video.

The cat couldn't handle this kind of shock; she had clearly witnessed plenty of partings before.

But as soon as the music started playing, everyone couldn't help but feel sad.

Alicia also secretly wiped away her tears; even a fairy like her couldn't bear to see sad things!

Of course, Luo Mo wanted to take a picture of the people crying there, but after thinking it over, he realized that the chances of a group fight were too high, so he gave up.

"Waaaaah, Aunt Himeko—" Kiana threw herself into Himeko's arms.

Himeko was completely bewildered. She never expected that the voice acting she had completed would be placed here, delivering another blow to the players.

She glared at Luo Mo, then looked at Kiana who rushed in, and said helplessly, "Kiana, do I have to repeat myself a few times? Don't call me auntie."

...

Himeko's figure vanished, but Kiana's weary body was once again filled with an unknown power.

"Ah, Himeko-sensei, yes,"

Kiana placed both hands on it, using all her strength to push.

"I promised you."

"I will turn this imperfect story into the way we hope it will be."

With a sob in her voice, Kiana practically screamed her last sentence.

In the last sentence, she seemed to see Himeko's phantom repeating the same words against a pure white background, giving her strength in the final moment.

In an instant, the reactor was propelled into the air by the immense force, and it continued to fly upwards.

Kiana has once again donned the Queen of the Sky costume, the figure that had brought her countless nightmares. But this time, the difference is...

Her eyes were azure blue, the color of the ocean!

She pushed the Honkai Reactor, streaking across the sky in a brilliant purple trail, like a shooting star streaking across the sky above Sky City.

Countless people witnessed it, making wishes, praying, and exclaiming in amazement...

They gave almost everything without knowing what kind of person the person above them was.

The music gradually shifted from sorrow to fervor, and as the purple shooting star soared high into the sky, the music erupted.

This song, sung by Eden, directly shattered everyone's ears and resonated in their minds.

【Crashagainstthebarrierabovethecrowd,】

[Crashing into the barrier above the crowd]

【Flaringuppiecesintheairtoshowafairystarfall.】

[Fragments burned up as they passed through the atmosphere, turning into a meteor shower]

【Iwantnomorroworyesterday.】

I don't need the future or the past.

In the scene, at the highest point, Kiana pierced the Honkai Furnace with the Void Spear, exhausting her last bit of power, and then fell from the sky.

In the pristine whiteness, the girl's voice softly rang out.

"This is... my promise."

...

"Luo Mo, you're bad!" Alicia covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face as she watched Kiana burn her life away.

"You actually made such a beautiful girl cry? Didn't you say the plot wouldn't be angsty this time?"

She glared at Luo Mo, her eyes filled with distrust.

Seeing the unfriendly looks directed at him from those present, Luo Mo offered his explanation.

"Wasn't this a perfect outcome? A world where no one died, a world where Kiana became a hero..."

Kiana was furious upon hearing this, and flashed her teeth to show that she was no saint either.

"This is what you call perfect?" Kiana was very dissatisfied. Was he deliberately trying to torment her? Why was he targeting her so relentlessly?

If she had known this day would come, when he invited her to be the female lead, she probably... would still have agreed.

Kiana glanced at the people around her; Cecilia, her teacher Himeko, and even her aunt were all looking at her...

There's a saying the boss was right about: the sadness in games is meant to prevent the same mistakes from happening again. If you hadn't seen the tragedy in the game, you wouldn't appreciate how precious these beautiful everyday moments are. He saved his mother and Himeko, he changed a lot, so you have to change even more to bear more of the sadness and prevent it from happening again.

“Kiana, isn’t the perfection of reality what you should be protecting more?” Luo Mo said.

Whatever happened in the game is over now; the future, hope, and the beautiful reality are still waiting for her to protect.

This time, what I gave her was no longer a broken world.

"Hmph!" Kiana curled her lip and turned her head away. "I'll remember this grudge."

"No matter what, I am still willing to fight for all the good things in the world! That is my promise!" Kiana said with a smile, but her words were very solemn.

Everyone watched the girl falling on the screen, and the final musical solo.

The story is short. The girl who had been wandering for three months stopped running away. Reality taught her to grow up, and she became a hero. That's all.

Chapter 46 I Want to See Everyone's Xiao Rong

The story of Sky City seems to have come to an end here.

Kiana did everything she promised Himeko-sensei.

"Himeko, you really are something else. You always appear whenever Kiana feels desperate. In Kiana's heart, you are probably the person who makes her feel most at ease and misses her the most."

Theresa remarked with a touch of melancholy, "Himeko-sensei is an alcoholic but gets along very well with her students, and they all seem to like her quite a bit."

"Hehe, looks like I'm doing a pretty good job as a teacher." Himeko ruffled Kiana's hair and said with a smile.

Kiana raised her head and said stubbornly, "Of course, Himeko-sensei is the best teacher in the world!"

"So when will you be able to listen to a full day of classes, Kiana?" Himeko asked with a forced smile, staring at Kiana, ready to see her answer.

"Waaah—" Kiana wiped away her tears, looking at Himeko-sensei in disbelief.

Bringing up this kind of thing at such a touching moment inexplicably reminded her of her boss. Thinking about it, she glanced at her boss and saw him looking at his phone with Yuexia with great interest.

To be honest, it always feels weird to see someone who looks exactly like Aunt Flo in the boss's arms...

As Kiana was lost in thought, she didn't notice Himeko's eyes growing darker and darker. Himeko couldn't resist tugging at Kiana's ear to bring her back to her senses.

"Kiana, is this how you respect your teacher?"

"No, no, no, Ms. Himeko, please let me explain..."

Kiana waved her hands repeatedly, somewhat flustered; she hadn't been deliberately distracted.

While Kiana was explaining, Eden was also talking with Alicia.

"Eden, this new world is definitely worth coming out and seeing. If I hadn't come out, how many interesting people would I have missed!"

Alicia said, gently taking Eden's hand and pulling him to her side. "Eden, what are you thinking about? Tell me."

"It's Ellie," Eden said, slightly tipsy, seemingly still caught up in the scene. The wine didn't intoxicate him; he was simply drunk with his own thoughts.

"I was thinking... if Himeko saw this scene in the game, she would be very pleased. It's such a romantic thing that teachers are a source of endless strength for their students."

Eden also handed Alicia a glass of wine, which Alicia took, swirled, and did not intend to drink.

"Speaking of which, Eden, was that your singing just now? It was as moving as ever, so beautiful! I really liked it!"

"Hehe, I'm glad you like it, Ellie. Before, I couldn't drink before singing and had to be careful with my voice, but now I don't have that problem anymore."

Eden smiled, showing little sadness, and continued, "Actually, Boss Luo wanted me to sing last time, but I refused because that song wasn't my style. But this time, I really like it."

"I wonder how many more people will go crazy for your music. Eden would be a superstar in any era!"

"I just want to quietly sing a song for everyone, like Luo Mo, and then... well, let's talk about Miss Su Luo." Eden chuckled. She had naturally gone to see Su Luo, and from the other's blank expression, it was easy to see that she didn't understand what she was saying at all.

Eden, being sensible, did not press the matter further.

"Some people want fans, but Eden just prefers quiet. People are really different."

"Oh? Ellie, what do you want? Why don't you tell me, diamonds? A villa?" Eden said with a smile. "If Ellie wants, I can also continue my debut."

“Me?” Alicia seemed to have indeed thought about it for a few minutes, then quickly smiled.

"I'm already very content living with everyone. That's a wish I've had but couldn't have before!"

"Human, everyone else is chatting, why are you just sitting here?" Yuexia asked, tilting her head back.

Didn't he always say that humans are social creatures? How come he's here alone, avoiding everyone else?

"Because... under the moonlight, I want to see everyone's smiles." Luo Mo continued scrolling through his phone screen, the corners of his mouth inevitably curving upwards.

"But not many people are laughing?" Yuexia looked back at the crowd, who were all deep in thought or feeling sad, with few showing any happy smiles.

“Hmm…” Luo Mo briefly put away his phone. “A smile isn’t just something a person shows on the surface. You can ‘see’ everyone’s expression from what they say or what they write.”

"...I don't quite understand."
