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

"...I suggest that it's best not to go. Of course, this is just my personal opinion."

Raven took a sip of the tea leaves in its cup, its expression suddenly turning strange, and it stopped sipping... Damn it, this company doesn't even have alcohol, but tea and coffee are unlimited...

She offered good advice based on her own experience.

"Oh, right, Natasha-senpai has been there too. How was the voice acting studio? Was it fun? I heard... it's always been one of the company's three most incredible things!"

"Pfft—how...how did it get spread like that?"

Raven almost spat out his water, grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said somewhat awkwardly.

She didn't notice anything different there.

...

"……oh?"

On the way to a deeper paradise, a white-haired man wearing a mask blocked their path. He seemed both puzzled and delighted.

The blazing fire burned, scorched, and destroyed everything, appearing strange even in this space of memory.

"A Herrscher?"

He had his back to Mei, and paused for a moment before speaking.

The black combat suit on his back seemed to be covered with a layer of flames, burning, extinguishing, and never stopping.

"Hello, my name is Raiden Mei."

Raiden Mei couldn't help but become wary, looking at the man accompanied by flames.

She sensed a hint of danger, a tremor that came from the depths of her heart.

"Your name is not important, Herrscher."

Without turning his head, he spoke coldly, even with contempt, to himself.

Ultimately, he had killed quite a few Herrschers, so whether she was one more or one less made no difference...

However, there aren't many Herrschers hanging around in front of him.

"Besides, I had no intention of remembering the names of the dying!"

Having said that, he began his battle with Mei. Countless meteorites fell, and a scorching heat spread throughout the space. Scorching, burning, annihilation—flames burned in every part of the air.

Mei swiftly dodged and seized the opportunity to kill the monster nearby.

But unlike his terrifying aura, he didn't make any further moves. Instead, he snorted coldly and stopped the impending battle.

"Your little tricks are over. If you want to take action, then come on."

Mei gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, her gaze fixed sharply on her opponent.

Unexpectedly, instead of her wary gaze, she was met only with the other party's unrestrained laughter and arrogant, provocative gestures.

"Make a move? Ha... Hahahaha..."

He said coldly, "If I really intended to do that, do you think you'd still be standing here talking to me?"

Everything has been burned.

One's own body will also be destroyed and disappear.

Life and death, existence and extinction, eternal flame!

She passed the test he set, and he, as promised, gave her a chance.

That's all; after all, this arena is just a trial...

Damn it, it's just a trial... Too bad, it's just a trial...

But this utterly destroyed hero must have left a very deep impression on Mei... certainly not in a positive way.

Even as she returned to the hall, Mei was still pondering her battle with her opponent and their formidable strength; her expression was naturally not pleasant.

"Judging from your appearance, you must have already seen Qianjie, am I right?"

"What's wrong with that man? I thought that fusion warriors who chose to retain their memories would at least know how to communicate with people."

Mei was somewhat troubled.

She had no idea how the other person's thought process worked; they suddenly started fighting and then suddenly stopped, handing over their imprint to her.

“Look, in our time, there was no Herrscher as beautiful, gentle and kind as you, Mei.”

"This is also a completely new experience for us. It's the first time that everyone is making friends with a Herrscher."

Alicia blinked and said these words to soothe Mei's heart. As for whether they were right or wrong, those words weren't necessarily just praise for Mei.

Seeing that the other person's mood had improved, she playfully started making little jokes again.

"As for Qianjie... he's actually a rather reserved person, so let's give him some more time."

"...Reserved? Isn't he like that with other people?"

A look of confusion crossed Mei's face.

The other party's attitude... even just considering it towards a Herrscher, it seemed rather 'enthusiastic,' no wonder Alicia had reminded them several times before.
