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

“Bronya never made that kind of promise with Seele; this was something Bronya made up on the spot.”

"what?!"

"Moreover, counting baby bunnies does not help with sleep."

Bronya calmly contradicted herself and approached the suspicious Seele step by step.

Black Seele kept backing away from the corner, her face panicked and her breathing erratic.

"You're not that Seele, you are..."

"Seele was just joking, going along with Bronya's words~"

"Hehe, Bronya, you're really something~"

Black Seele forced a smile as she looked at Bronya, stubbornly continuing her story.

She still refused to accept the fact that she had been exposed.

"Xing, what brings you here?"

Bronya looked back in surprise.

"what!"

"Get out of here, you bastard! If you don't want to be pushed down the stairs again, stay away from Seele..."

Upon hearing that name, Black Seele's eyes instantly turned fierce. She turned to look behind her, and a dark red hook claw appeared on her hand.

Then, a gentle breeze blew by, and looking at the empty corridor,

Black Seele then realized that she had been tricked again.

That makes sense; why would Xing come here?

She reluctantly withdrew the claw chain, still sporting that fierce expression, hoping the other party hadn't seen it, and offered a flimsy explanation.

"...Hehehe, Bronya, actually I've been learning to play villains lately because I'm going to read stories to the children."

"Do I look convincing?"

Bronya remained silent. Her interactions with Xing had convinced her of the other woman's identity, but if she didn't admit defeat...

Bronya remembered that Seele had mentioned last time that she snores in her sleep.

"So today Bronya brought Seele some calming tea."

Hearing this question, Black Seele finally perked up, having finally asked a question she knew the answer to!

She said with smug confidence, her chest puffed out.

"Hmph, you can't fool me this time. I've been watching Seele the whole time she was asleep."

"She never snores, but she occasionally talks cute things in her sleep."

".."

"..."

The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment, and Black Seele's expression stiffened on the spot.

Her answer came too easily; she only considered the answer she knew that day, without considering anything else...

So much so that she only realized she had said something she shouldn't have after she finished speaking.

Her answer undoubtedly confirmed that she was not Seele, and at the same time—

This also made one of the parties involved feel embarrassed.

Bronya blinked, having overheard a secret she was unaware of.

...

"..."

"Why don't you come out? I won't stop you this time. The other me..."

Seele's face was flushed, her hands were clasped together, and she looked somewhat embarrassed as she faced the gazes of everyone; steam was practically rising from her hair.

My heart was pounding, I felt like my blood was evaporating, and I didn't know where to look, feeling like I was being mocked everywhere I went.

What happened to the other me? Why am I still talking about these things...?

Was I really talking in my sleep?

Seele felt incredibly shy.

It's a pity there's no gap in the ground, otherwise she would definitely have crawled in... She wouldn't have come out even if Bronya called her!

【…】

Suddenly I'm not so angry anymore. It's actually quite nice inside. Seele, hang in there!!

Black Seele encouraged, saying that the social death she just experienced wasn't just for Seele, but also for her.

Damn it, she actually wrote that she was scammed three times in a row!!

Am I really that stupid?
