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

[Seele...]

"Ok?"

[I'm getting out of here! I'm going to kill him! Who's the tsundere? I'm not!!]

"No...no...other me, calm down."

...

Upon arriving at the coffee shop, the interior was very cozy, but before I could even take a closer look, Kiana's words broke the silence.

"Hehe, I want a large mango mille-feuille cake! And double scoops of vanilla and chocolate ice cream~"

She spoke loudly, chuckling at Seele, and had already ordered afternoon tea.

"Kiana, eating so many sweets every day... isn't that a bit much? Maybe we shouldn't..."

Black Seele launched her first offensive, attempting to subtly advise the other party to come less often in the future.

Unfortunately, Kiana completely misunderstood her meaning.

"Eh?" Kiana let out a cute little hum and looked at Seele.

Then, in no time at all, he came to a conclusion on his own.

"Ah, I know, Seele, you're worried I'll get cavities, aren't you?"

"...No, it's me..."

Black Seele hesitated, looking at Kiana who was staring at her with a blank, trusting expression, and considered her words again.

She decided to try a different approach to persuade them.

"Is this coffee shop far from the Salt Lake base?"

The groundwork has been laid well; the other party nodded in agreement. Perfect!

“Running around like this every day is quite troublesome, how about we just…”

Black Seele believed she had made herself clear enough, so she was just waiting for Kiana to back down and voluntarily reduce her visits.

Unexpectedly...

"Yeah, it's really far. I complained about that to Bronya last time too."

"Then Bronya said that it was worth the journey because the cakes at this shop were so delicious."

She also said that this was the second best cake she had ever eaten, second only to the one that Seele made for her herself.

"Oh, does that mean, Seele, you don't want to travel this far anymore, and you'll cook for us yourself?"

Kiana quickly completed her own top-level understanding.

Her rich imagination is truly admirable.

"What? How did you interpret that as...?"

Black Seele stared in disbelief, her small mouth slightly agape as she looked at the other person.

I just can't figure it out. Why does Kiana always seem to have trouble with such simple things?

Is she genuinely unaware or pretending?

Why did trying to persuade them not to come here suddenly turn into expecting Seele to do it for them herself?

"Seele is so kind! But this is too much trouble for you."

"I appreciate your kind offer, but let's just continue coming here."

What kind of quantum-level understanding is this?

Looking at the rather outgoing Kiana in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh.

Hei Xi'er breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; the other party did have some self-awareness.

Even she herself rarely gets to eat Seele's cake, how can she ask for it so brazenly? Really.

But looking at Kiana, who was still chuckling, she suddenly felt troubled. No matter what she said, Kiana couldn't understand her... What should she do?

Maybe we should just be direct. Today, she's determined to end this endless cycle of drama between the other party and Seele at the Infinite Cafe!

"Kiana, there's something I've never told you."

"Actually, I don't like sweets at all."

"I like spicy food, the really spicy kind."

As she spoke, it wasn't exactly a lie, since she genuinely liked these things at that moment.

But what does it mean when the other person looks like they're about to cry?

Why am I so moved?

Did she say something wrong?

Or is it... that she's crying because she can't eat dessert with Seele?

Hmph—well, there's nothing I can do about that. After all, Seele can't always eat desserts with you.
