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

The shadows within her became her own, and she constantly battled with herself.

Himeko repeatedly overcomes her past self; this is her journey of self-discovery and the path she takes to make up her mind.

In the end, she succeeded. Fu Hua gave Himeko a final reminder before disappearing from sight.

...

“Himeko…” Theresa said, looking at Himeko.

The Himeko in the game is too similar to the one I know; it feels like... she could do all those things.

"Hehe, Theresa, don't worry about me!"

Himeko laughed and put her arm around Theresa's shoulder, comforting her, "After all, this is going to be my moment of glory!"

"I feel like something's not right with this plot, Himeko. What will you do next?"

Theresa asked anxiously, but quickly breathed a sigh of relief, saying thankfully, "Fu Hua gave you a serum to neutralize Honkai energy, you should be fine. Thank goodness, Fu Hua is surprisingly reliable!"

Himeko didn't explain anything, nor did she mention that she had finished filming.

Rather than starting to grieve prematurely, it's better to vent your emotions later.

"Speaking of which, what about your little sister in your villa who looks a lot like you?" Himeko asked another question.

The two of them looked at Yuexia, who was intently watching TV on the sofa. Yuexia's eyes were fixed, completely absorbed by the images on the screen.

Her slender, fair legs dangled in mid-air, swaying back and forth. She sensed something and looked over with a blank expression.

"It's alright, Yuexia, you can continue watching TV. I'll take you out to play this afternoon."

Theresa quickly replied that the child was good in every way, except that he was a bit clingy and very curious.

Then he said to Himeko, "It's all Luo Mo's fault. He promised to help Yuexia together, but now he's nowhere to be found!"

"You talk as if the moonlit scene is your and her child," Himeko joked.

"What are you talking about!"

...

At this moment, just as Theresa and her companions were facing imminent danger from the Herrscher of the Void,

They tried everything, but it was all in vain against Sirin's three cores, and Mei's injuries were also imminent.

Only Bronya is persevering.

Suddenly, she saw it.

—Fire is burning.

At this moment, Himeko was clad in bright red armor, her bright red hair complementing her, and she held a burning greatsword in her hand.

Just like her life, burning brightly.

At this moment, red is a color that belongs only to her.

She smiled and said that Bronya had completed her task, and now it was the teacher's turn.

Then he threw himself into the battle against the Herrscher of the Void.

Just as Sirin was about to unleash her full power to eliminate the enemy before her and retrieve the gem, the Moon Throne charged up and struck Sirin with a single blow.

Sirin was injured, but the power of space made her very agile in combat, and she escaped back to the imaginary space.

Thus, the first phase of the battle came to an end.

But everyone knows that Sirin will come again, and she will definitely be wary of the Moon Throne.

But Himeko made a decision along the way when she put on this armor.

She will save everything, bring the students back, and continue towards tomorrow.

.....

"Oh my, the Moon Throne, the Blank Key, those are familiar names!" Möbius laughed.

"And that... God-Slaying Spear? That's worth investigating. Wearing that mech, can she really survive?"

"Or is it... to give up everything to return to tomorrow, including one's own life? That man's plan is truly astounding!"

Chapter 17 The Last Lesson

Endless bubbles churned and rolled, revealing Himeko's eyes on the screen.

She just stared blankly at the vial of reagent in her hand, then suddenly clenched her fist, her eyes hardening.

As she marched toward the battlefield, countless people brushed past her.

But, Himeko, she can't leave.

She had no choice but to go against the current, because she was a warrior.

"I really want... another drink."

Himeko's melancholy words still echoed in my ears.

But the battle in the video has already begun.

...

"Wait, the title of this short film... The Last Lesson?" Theresa belatedly realized.

She stared in disbelief at the battered figure on the screen, about to head to the battlefield.

"Why? Himeko, could it be... could it be that you..."

"...Just watch, Theresa, after this battle, my career will come to an end."

Himeko took a sip of wine, smiled, and said that there was no sadness in her eyes, but rather pride.

She did not betray the warrior's faith, and in the end, she fell on the battlefield.

What's there to be sad about?

"It's a pity I wasn't by your side to fight alongside you."

Theresa watched the video, recalling the times when Himeko and she worked together for the academy.

“When Judas is no longer useful, you are no longer useful either, Theresa.”

Seeing her sadness, Himeko joked.

"Ugh! Why did you say that when I was feeling so touched? Do you also think Judas is the S-rank Valkyrie?"

Theresa crossed her arms in dissatisfaction.

...

Himeko then engaged Benares in battle.

With the Godslayer Armor, even dragons are no match for her.

After several attacks, Benares collapsed and could not get up.

But Sirin wouldn't just stand by and watch her kill Bella, so she decisively took action, using her spatial powers to pull Himeko into the imaginary space.

She has learned her lesson from last time and will not allow anyone to interfere with this battle again.

...

"Waaah, Your Majesty, you still care about me after all!"

Bella hugged Celine's leg, moved to tears.

"Get away! Bella, your horn is poking me! And don't wipe your snot on my clothes."

Celine shook her body impatiently, trying to move Bella off her legs.

"Waaah, Your Majesty."

But Bella held on tightly, lost in the emotion, refusing to let go.

"This is the moment of judgment! Fight! Fight!"

Celine watched the game, hoping to show off her skills.

Cecilia watched the game's animated short film, lost in thought. This scene... it looks familiar, doesn't it?

Himeko, Imaginary Space, Sirin...

Isn't this the second act in the story of the footprints?

The Honkai Apostle was murdered, losing everything. Will this game truly be a good one?

Never mind, it's not reality after all.

Cecilia smiled and shook her head.

But will Kiana really become what appears in the later part of the footprint?

But I think she's already doing very well. As her mother, am I being a little selfish?

...

The battlefield shifted to imaginary space, accompanied by a burst of arrogant laughter.

Sirin descended slowly through the void, her crisp footsteps echoing in the dark space. She looked down at Himeko with icy eyes.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Himeko raised her greatsword, keeping a close eye on Sirin's movements, ready to fight at any moment.

"Hmph, I've been waiting for you for ages."

"Are you ready to face death?"

A disdainful voice rang out as she gently extended her right hand.

The power of space instantly enveloped Himeko, shoving her violently outward and sending her crashing into the spatial barrier.

"Struggle as hard as you can."

Sirin snapped her fingers, and a black cube enveloped Himeko, causing it to spin continuously.

He then used the Spear of the Void to transform into a streak of light, slashing fiercely across the block and leaving two deep cracks.
