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

But the other party was always so enthusiastic, and it was hard to refuse.

"What a passionate girl! She also knows how to be tactful; it's always hard to refuse what she says at the right time."

She smiled helplessly, thinking that if her daughters were as mature as the other one, she would have less to worry about.

"Hmm—Cilin, come and take a look, what do you think of this one?"

She took out a sun hat and held it up to her head, her smile as radiant as when she was a young girl, beautiful and captivating.

"...Sigh, Mom looks good in everything." Xilin leaned against the door, sighing.

"Then why do you look so disappointed? Is there something bothering you that you want to share with me?"

"Mom, don't talk like that woman anymore. It's weird. I always feel like she has bad intentions."

Celine took a bite of the apple in her hand, revealing a neat row of teeth marks on the flesh. She stared at the plain-colored ceiling above, displeased.

The second collapse is inevitable; there's no way to escape it.

"How could that be? Or perhaps, Magical Girl Sirin-chan, you also want to put on a concert in front of Honkai Beasts like in the game, remember Shigure, she..."

Cecilia joked,

"Oh, Mom, don't tease me about things from back then—"

Xilin gave a soft snort. Who knew she had so many scandals during her time as a fan? If only she had known... if only she had known earlier, she would have started following Teriri sooner.

As a result, the other party returned the copy after a few years, leaving him only to occasionally reminisce about his treasured edition.

There were even some inexplicable phone calls offering exorbitant prices to buy back what I had, but how could I possibly agree to that!

"Alright, since you insist on not going this time, I'll go visit Ritsuki instead."

Cecilia slipped on her beige boots, smiled back at the doorway, and

"Well then, Sirin~, I'm leaving~"

"Uh-huh!"

Celine nodded, still troubled.

Chapter 107 Humans have limits, so...

Cheng Lixue sat quietly in her hospital bed today.

She glanced sideways at the documents in her hand, flipping through the pages rapidly, wanting to understand the current situation as quickly as possible.

She was simultaneously reviewing the information about the present situation transmitted by Destiny and looking at some content related to the game.

An email from the bishop forced her to take it seriously.

"Regarding the dispatch of the Oceania branch manager?"

A helpless smile played on her lips, a smile that held a hint of nostalgia for the past.

"But... I don't want to~ I'll stay in St. Freya, even as a security guard or a combat course instructor would be fine,"

After hesitating for a moment, I still expressed my refusal.

She just wanted to spend time with her teacher, although she was perfectly capable of fighting in any situation and was always ready to respond.

"Bang bang—"

Suddenly, two crisp knocks sounded in my ears.

"Please come in!" She realized her mistake as soon as the words left her mouth.

If it were a stranger visiting, a nurse should have notified them... Wait, no, how many people even remember themselves these days?

So passionate, so inspiring!

"Hey—Lixue, are you there?"

She leaned over the doorframe, her blue eyes as deep as ever.

With a smile as gentle as a young girl's, she gracefully approached the bedside, carrying with her the fragrance of flowers.

Li Xue looked up, staring in astonishment at the doorway.

A familiar figure appeared in my field of vision—that white-haired man who had always been active on the front lines in my memory.

In an instant, she felt a long-lost flutter in her heart, and the feeling of being on the battlefield rushed back to her.

"Ce... Cecilia... Lady?"

"Hmm, Lixue, guess what flowers I brought to visit you?"

She kept her hands behind her back. Li Xue thought to herself, no wonder.

But seeing that Lady Cecilia was also alive and well, a weight was lifted from her shoulders.

The first thing she watched was the Second Honkai Impact 3rd. Although it was very different from what she remembered, she was very worried about the people who died in that battle in the game, especially Lady Cecilia.

Carnation?

Li Xue casually gave a name, but what came to mind was the horrific scene of the second collapse.

She had many more questions, but the words stuck in her throat.

She was afraid of her expectations being dashed, and she was also afraid of hearing the devastating news of death. She didn't know if she could still have any hope, or if she could still hold onto expectations.

"No, it's an orchid. It's the noble flower, symbolizing sworn brotherhood and unwavering loyalty. It's a flower with many meanings in China. I'm sure you'll like it."

Cecilia smiled, revealing the elegant and delicate bouquet behind her. Three white petals surrounded a purple stamen in the center, and its fragrance was fresh and not overly sweet...

Just like Lady Cecilia.

Li Xue stared at the flowers for a while, then spoke with difficulty.

"The Second Honkai Impact, them..."

"Lixue, I don't know how to comfort you, but... we need to look forward..."

Cecilia sat gently on the edge of the bed, looking at Li Xue on the hospital bed with a complicated expression.

After a long silence, Li Xue sighed, "No matter what, you are still alive."

"...Um."

...

"Boss, why are you leaving so early today?"

Kiana, puzzled, scratched her head.

She hadn't received an answer to her questions, and her mother stared at her for a while that day, but ultimately remained silent.

Moreover, speaking of time,

Although this scoundrel of a boss is late every day, he rarely leaves early; he always leaves on time.

"I have things to do today—" Luo Mo sighed, glanced at his watch, and realized he was getting late.

Sigh, when will I ever overcome my procrastination? I'm so used to work that I always arrive a little late, even if I'm right on time...

It doesn't matter anymore, it's already late anyway.

He looked at Kiana, who was still not satisfied, and felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.

"Kiana, games are not life. You need to learn to control yourself! How can you be so addicted to games? From today onwards, you're off!"

"Isn't it you who's been urging us to come to work every day? And you don't need me to do voice acting for games anymore? Also, how's that thing you mentioned?"

Kiana rolled her eyes, then asked expectantly,

"A way to quickly become stronger?"

"Lady Cecilia has agreed?"

"I guess tacit agreement is a kind of consent, right?" Kiana said, stroking her smooth chin as if deep in thought.

After thinking about Luo Mo's suggestion carefully, she realized it wasn't too difficult to accept—becoming a Herrscher!

Anyway, Mei, Bronya, and the second sister are all Herrschers.

It doesn't seem to make much difference whether she's here or not.

"Uh..." Luo Mo looked at the other person suspiciously; the other person's uncertain expression was really suspicious!

But to be honest, in the original world, it seems that becoming a Herrscher was one of the prerequisites for Kiana.

It would have been safer to steer the opponent onto the path of the Herrscher. In his opinion, the Final Stigmata plus any Herrscher core shouldn't be worse than Kiana's original situation...

At worst, Mei and Yaya can try their best.

"So, are you ready? What about the dangers of becoming a Herrscher?" He couldn't help but ask, wanting to know the other person's true thoughts.

"What can we do? Humans have their limits; not everyone is like my older sister."

Kiana remained silent for a while, but her tone suddenly became less playful and more mature.

She looked up at the sky; those few clouds were lonely and isolated, unable to support themselves.

Back in Sky City, she had already figured out the situation—she wasn't the main character.

But if necessary, she wouldn't mind striving to become the protagonist, because she loves this world—her mother, Himeko-sensei, Mei, Bronya, the boss... they're all here.

Just like in the game, she is willing to fight for all that is good in the world.

This is her wish, and also her blessing.

Luo Mo was finally convinced that the other party's decision was no accident.

He actually wanted to complain just now, that people have limits, so... you became a Herrscher?

But they stopped, because the way the other person made up their mind was too dazzling; the light shining in their eyes was genuine.

So much so that... he felt ashamed.

"Alright, then... you and Mei should get ready. It's time to close the imaginary singularity in Changkong City."

"Huh? Mei, Mei?"

The voice clearly carried a hint of panic, indicating that the speaker was somewhat careless.

...
