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

"Find what you want here. You can probably afford the price it demands."

He said that the imprint of salvation was etched in his heart.

Mei continued forward, following in the footsteps of many heroes.

It's hard to imagine Kevin's cold demeanor... How tiring it must be to explain it every time!

Indeed, you already possessed the potential to be a riddle master 50,000 years ago.

[Indeed, Alicia's mark is better! Alicia! Alicia!]

[Strange—why is there already an organization called "Love Gate" with a leader?!]

...

As Mei overcomes a new level and awaits the arrival of a new mark, she finds herself on high alert, as a chilling atmosphere fills the air.

That is the new hero.

Her appearance was like a cherry blossom falling on one's shoulder.

She was already there, and there was no way to disobey her. But if one looked up, one could not find where she came from.

"My name is Sakura, and I exist here to pass on the art of 'Setsuna' (momentary movement) to future generations."

"Sakura," said Yingjie, her long pink hair framed by a hand that remained firmly on the hilt of her sword, as if always on guard against any enemy. Her gaze was slightly cold as she scrutinized Mei.

She has the same long hair color as Alicia, but a completely different personality.

Unlike with Airi, being around Sakura felt more like a sense of loneliness and tranquility.

"Hello, my name is Raiden Mei."

"No need for introductions, a Lawyer has entered the Paradise of the Past... This is news that every hero must know immediately."

In response to her self-introduction, Sakura simply replied calmly.

But this answer... left Mei somewhat helpless.

Is the Lawbringer...something all heroes must know immediately? This makes her...a little flattered.

Sakura, however, stated that this was absolutely necessary for them and must be treated with utmost care.

She also reminded Mei that as long as she stayed in the Paradise of the Past, she could not let her guard down for even a moment.

Just like the hilt of the knife she always holds in her hand.

She had already learned that painful lesson once.

On the next floor, however, there were no enemies or heroes to be seen. There was only a lonely little house in the middle, filled with all kinds of bottles and jars, as well as sparkling crystals and metal products.

It looked like a small grocery stall, with a notice on it.

[Welcome to Phyllis's Shop! If you see this message, it means I'm doing something very important and won't be back for a long time, meow~]

Mei didn't know what the "important thing" meant.

But she could also guess that Phyllis... must also be the name of some hero.

And the interjection "meow" that followed...

Mei wisely chose to ignore it at that moment.

Chapter 8 Cats are magical animals

Although the sudden change in tone to cuteness, even a bit whimsical, felt inappropriate, it seemed rather unbelievable in an environment where everyone was at least 50,000 years old.

But considering that it's a cat whose cowardice is written all over its face, it's not so hard to understand.

The note, of course, was left by a lovely catgirl.

Those who know her well generally know who she is.

And she can also meow—for example…'Mei-nee, I don’t want to die~', and so on.

So cute, I want to hug them.

These cats are extremely rare, but coincidentally, there's one in the Golden Garden next door. I wonder when I'll be able to come over and play with it.

Luo Mo pondered to himself, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Oh, what a pity, the cat's last visit was the one before last. He really wanted to touch the other's tail too; its fluffy fur was so soft and tempting...

However, Honkai Impact 3 doesn't respect cats. You see, there are duck doors and love doors, but there are no cat doors...

Why is this?

Because cats are quite magical, they die the moment they touch a door.

"Phyllis? That name sounds familiar. Let me think... Meow, it must be that cat-eared girl, right?"

Kiana, however, was more interested in Yingjie, who hadn't appeared in the video. The reason was simple: Sakura was already one of the people they knew best, since she had gone there early in the morning...

Uh, she might... retract what she said earlier.
