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

"The meteor's light was so dazzling that it attracted many people to chase after it."

"They may be after the dazzling starlight, or they may simply want to save this shooting star."

"Since there is competition, there will always be a loser."

A shooting star fell, and a tiny figure resembling Durandal ran towards it and caught it.

Kiana, who was sleeping and wrapped up like a dumpling in a blanket, was perched on her head.

Happily humming a song, it flew close to the ground, its eyes even curving into crescent moons.

Behind them was Mei, crying, stretching out her little hands trying to reach, but she couldn't even reach the hem of Kiana's clothes. She was also clutching Kiana's coat, looking extremely pitiful.

Perhaps for this reason, Mei's face grew increasingly aggrieved, and there were tears streaming down her face.

...

"Ah this..."

Mei, watching from the sidelines, scratched her cheek with her finger, looking somewhat helpless, yet unsure how to describe her feelings.

In short, it's extremely complicated.

Moreover, it cannot be stated explicitly.

"Boss, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Kiana glanced at Luo Mo, then leaned over and shook Mei's arm as if to offer silent comfort.

Then, hands on hips, she looked at Luo Mo with displeasure.

"What did my Mei do to you?!"

"Oh—it's become yours so quickly?"

Luo Mo changed the subject with great interest.

"Ready to add the Kaslana suffix?"

"Of course!" Kiana blushed, but then realized it was a good opportunity and agreed in a huff, as if she were being stubborn.

Now let Mei realize her attitude! Hmph, it shouldn't be too bad.

"Wait, Kiana, don't speak without permission!"

[Hehe, as expected, the official stance leads the way for proliferating buds.]

[The ducklings' milk teeth follow immediately after the sucklings, connected seamlessly]

Am I the only one who feels that Kiana can indeed be called a "worm" right now? She's wrapped in a blanket and hopping around, so cute!

"But the desire for those important to us to return to the light seems even stronger."

"For this, she was willing to throw herself into darkness."

"Even if it means becoming a sinner, I will break free from the shackles of fate."

As Mei tripped over a protruding pebble on the road, perhaps symbolizing her difficulties and obstacles, the other person disappeared off-screen.

Durandal, now wearing Kiana's clothes, curiously turned her head to look back. Even Kiana, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, woke up at the opportune moment. After just one glance, her expression changed drastically.

Mei, sword raised high, charged at the two from behind again.

This time, her eyes glowed red, her head was adorned with jet-black horns, and her sword, crackling with electricity, slashed back and forth intermittently.

Kiana and Durandal, being sisters, displayed identical expressions of shock and fear.

Startled, Durandal immediately released Kiana from her head.

The figures were also depicted in simple line drawings. In the sunset, the large waves in front symbolized the stick figures of Durandal running hard.

The funniest thing was Kiana, the little bug, jumping energetically on the ground, trying her best to move forward.

Mei, behind them, wields a 40-meter-long greatsword, so enormous it exceeds the frame's capacity.

As the sword slashed down, the tip struck Kiana squarely.

The scene then shifts to Kiana lying on the ruins, echoing the theme of "Elegy for the Sinner".

...

"puff--"

As the first laugh rang out, more and more people inside the room began to speak.

As for those who dare to be pioneers, naturally...

"Boss~" Mei's eyes were filled with resentment. She tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear with her right hand and said leisurely, "Why is there a smile in the video you made yourself?"

Mei thought to herself, "I'm not that cruel, am I? Why does Kiana have the same expression as Durandal when she sees me?"

And a 40-meter-long greatsword... it just doesn't seem to fit my style at all, does it?

"Sorry, sorry, I was just thinking about something happy~"

Luo Mo lowered his hand from his mouth; the laughter he had just sang was too loud and had not been able to be concealed at all.

“Phew—and you too, Bronya,” Mei glanced sideways at Bronya, who had regained her composure.

"Don't you want to call me Mei-neechan anymore?"

"No, no, Mei-neechan, it's because... I haven't seen Mei-neechan with such a troubled expression in a long time, and I find it quite amusing."

Bronya spoke the truth, from the bottom of her heart.

She thinks it's cool if a game can evoke a person's emotions, and she's currently learning how to do that.

Sooner or later, she'll create a game that brutally stabs this boss! She'll let him experience what it feels like to be stabbed!

"Okay, okay, everyone has a good reason, really~" Mei rubbed her forehead, as if she was having a terrible headache.

Then, in a light, airy voice, she said, "He's the only person she can really control."

"So, Kiana, what about you~"

"Big sister's expression is so funny, really, Mei, you have to believe me."

Kiana's eyes sparkled, her blue pupils filled with sincerity.

...

"It's amazing that Lady Durandal can make such an expression. She's even cuter now that she's less serious~"

Rita spoke softly, standing beside Durandal, but her gaze held a hint of curiosity and exploration.

She had heard about the purpose of this visit.

But has there really been any change in the other person's body? As someone who has access to firsthand data on Lady Durandal's body in real time, Rita can clearly state that the other person has neither grown taller nor suddenly gained weight.

"Uh, hehe,"

She scratched her head, completely unaware that Rita had already scanned her body. "In game terms, I was a bit too much for Mei."

"But who knows, you might be sisters in the game too, wouldn't that make it like the older sister taking care of the younger sister? So, don't worry, Lady Durandal."

Rita's eyes curved at the corners, and a beauty mark under her eye added to her gentle beauty.

Durandal frowned, seemingly considering that possibility, before returning to the main point.

"More importantly, Rita... don't you feel that the stargazer seems to have unclear feelings for you?"

"Oh? You're starting to worry about me? Don't worry, Rita will always be by your side..."

Rita was taken aback, then smiled. She hadn't expected her to be so thoughtful, especially towards her.

So she bowed slightly, her body forming a graceful arc.

Her lips brushed close to Durandal's ear, her warm breath tickling her ear. "Rita will handle it, don't worry~"

“Huh? Uh, Rita,”

The strongest S-rank Valkyrie's ears turned slightly red. "Speaking of which, World Serpent's people should be arriving soon, right? We need to prepare properly~"

"Your attempt to change the subject is rather obvious, Lady Durandal."

...

The sound ended there, leaving a lingering sense of unfinished business, but the story had indeed come to a temporary close, and the main storyline that had been broadcast so far had also come to an end.

Their story is not yet over.

"The story of collapse continues."

"Where the road ahead will lead, let's wait and see."

...

"Hmm~, although I don't quite understand, Master said this is roughly how the world will develop in the future, something we can refer to..."

Ritsuki stroked her chin and said,

In the video, many people she knew appeared, including Lady Cecilia, the Second Herrscher, and so on. Moreover, it seemed that the Herrscher of the Void had even been revived later on.

But unexpectedly, the person who brought her the most unbelievable feeling was the one she knew best.

"So, if the video is accurate, the master was actually someone from 50,000 years ago?"

"That's...unbelievable!"

A smile flashed in Li Xue's eyes. Although her legs were still unable to bear weight, she was in an unusually good mood.

If that's the case, then no one should be able to hurt Master, right?

"By the way, I wonder how Qiluo and the others are doing?"

A hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

But it's already a miracle that I survived, so what right do I have to ask for anything else?

...

"It's been so long since I've been able to visit Li Xue. I wonder how she's doing? I hope she won't be angry with me~"

Cecilia put on her white trench coat, chose her trousers, and hummed a song as she selected a hat to wear outside.

Her closet was quite large; after all, girls always love to look beautiful! Especially after becoming neighbors with Alicia, who recommended quite a few pink clothes to her.

Although... I always felt it looked a bit strange on me, that kind of clothing... would it be more suitable for my daughter?
