Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

After all...

Those were just some backup plans.

There are at least tens of thousands, if not hundreds, of such backup plans related to teenagers, and countless more are in the works.

If we had to report to everyone, it would take far too long, and we probably wouldn't even have time to do anything else with the boy.

No matter how high the potential of Honkai seems, it's impossible for it to reach a place like the headquarters of the Firemoth and cause damage.

……

The girl has opened her heart.

From the very beginning, she was saved and helped by you. Even after all this time, she still needs your understanding and kindness to help her correct her mistakes.

The gifts that had accumulated little by little had left the girl with nothing to give back.

【only……】

I've given myself to you.

[Option 1: Accept the girl's most sincere confession. Having gone through so much time together, with such enduring companionship, why choose anything else? Isn't the person right before you the one you should be promising your life to?]

Option two is too fast. You're still young, far from the age where you should define your feelings. Even if you still have strong feelings for each other, it's too hasty to give your whole life away so easily.

Option three: Reject the girl's confession. You don't dislike the girl in front of you, but there's still a lingering shadow in your heart—a wisp of wind, an elusive wind that leaves its mark on your soul.

So fast?

Although I knew long ago that my life was now 100% tied to Vilvie, completely bound and imprisoned, with no possibility of escape.

If the girl expresses even the slightest thought, she will become incredibly sad, even to the point of truly falling into an abyss and dying beyond any hope of recovery.

He was already aware of this when he made the choice to hold the girl's hand in the previous one.

There's no way I'll hesitate, and I won't regret it.

It was something I never expected that would be brought up by Vilvi first.

I never thought that a girl who hated herself to the extreme, had almost no initiative, and was more willing to endure and bear everything could take the initiative.

I originally thought I would have to wait a while longer, until our feelings were in the right place, before I could speak to the girl and make my one and only promise, a vow that would last until death do us part.

Unexpectedly, because of this accident, I specifically chose a time when I was in a good mood to bring it up.

This, on the contrary, made the girl, who hated herself, unable to bear it any longer.

Unwilling to endure any longer, unwilling to wait any longer, just like before, she took the initiative to invite him to accept everything in life, as the one who invited him.

Even the right to choose, everything, even her own body and all that she possessed, were to be given to him as a package.

—Not bad either.

Why refuse now?

The relationship has already progressed naturally, and now making excuses makes one seem mentally healthy, but it's not as courageous as the girl in front of him.

Ultimately, taking initiative requires a healthy mindset as a foundation. How can a young girl expect to have a complete mind if she doesn't even have a sense of security?

The wind and flower named Alicia no longer have much to do with her. At most, they can provide some help when the other party participates in the Fire Moth, thus taking her further on the path of kinship.

The other person doesn't care about me.

It's just another passerby.

I was never cared about when I traveled before, and after I chose to leave with Wilvi, I couldn't get any information from her or even make a phone call.

He's probably still traveling somewhere else right now.

Still searching for that perfect paradise?

They will not take action to fight against it until the Herrscher of the Void is born.

As a great hero who saves the world, a true heroine, he uses his beauty and flawlessness to sacrifice his life to unite humanity.

With such a broad perspective and such rich divinity, it's almost like the Savior of Catholicism. How could a god possibly like someone else?

The person who picked her up from the woods probably couldn't even stay in her heart for a second.

She is the goddess of stars and moon, a Herrscher who loves everyone.

The boy's fingertip landed on option one without hesitation, without even a second of hesitation.

This is the best choice.

There is no better choice than this.

Is there really any point in hesitating about this?

Having reached this emotional threshold, at this point, is there really any point in rejecting anything or considering anything further?

Seeing the girl, whose face clearly showed fear, who was gently biting her rosy lower lip, and whose eyes were glistening with tears, yet who still managed to maintain a gentle demeanor and harbored hope, Jiang Cheng smiled gently.

It was like the second time they met, at a birthday party where no one cared or paid attention, that the girl personally gave him the gift—the only gift she ever gave him.

—The relationship had naturally developed over such a long period of time.

We've been together for several years now.

It wasn't like Alicia's trip, which was supposed to be a trip for two but was actually just a one-woman show with one's own presence almost nonexistent. Instead, it was a truly harmonious, even overly sticky and decadent, life together.

The boy could sense how much the girl cherished him.

Without any reservations.

That's more caring than family, more precious than jewelry, and even willing to pay any price for his ideas, whether or not they're seriously considered.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter at all.

As long as it's something a teenager came up with.

Anything the boy wants is fine with me.

There is no room for thought, and no need to weigh whether it is worthwhile; wasting even a fraction of a moment is a huge mistake.

Having already reached this point, what more could the boy possibly say?

He's not the kind of person who would compromise himself.

At least after parting ways with Alicia.

The boy is no longer the person who suppressed his emotions to help and forgive others; in fact, he was never that kind of person to begin with.

The reason why Alicia was treated this way was probably because that girl's first encounter was indeed too dreamlike.

Even the most beautiful dream will eventually end one day.

Why continue chasing after that wind?

……

silence.

Again, only silence.

But this time was different from the last. It didn't surprise Vilvi. Even though she had held onto a sliver of hope last time, expecting the boy to leave Alicia who ignored him and embrace a new, less-than-ideal life with her.

This time, there wasn't even a tiny bit.

Because these are the most greedy and shameless words.

Like the snake in the story of the farmer and the snake, the girl's behavior was despicable; she was not grateful for the farmer's help but instead bit him.

He received Jiang Cheng's forgiveness. Instead of repenting for his actions, he made even more shameless demands.

A demand for the boy's entire life.

—Vilvie collapsed instantly as she reflected on and repented. She bit her lower lip tightly, waiting for the final prelude, the end.

No matter how it ends, the boy's importance in my heart will never change.

The only thing that will change is the girl's final fate.

I dare not pray.

They are not worthy of prayer.

Any interference with a teenager's own thoughts is unacceptable. As a useless person who can only be saved, you have neither the right nor the right to do so.

Nevertheless, in the end, the girl couldn't help but break her promise.

Despicable, though.

Shameless, indeed.

Please, I beg you...

Save me one more time!

……

The girl's inner world was in turmoil, just like anyone else in the world with the same psychological trauma. She was always harsh on herself, hoping for help from others while simultaneously distrusting their ability to save her.

They feel they are not worthy, should not, and do not deserve it.

This emotion, however, did not resonate well with the boy.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng's dark eyes revealed the answer, and he was ready to say what he had already decided in his heart.

There was nothing wrong with Vervi's behavior.

No matter how bad it may be to let this go unchecked.

Essentially, they all stem from that fragile, vulnerable heart that should be borne and protected by others.

The reason why the boy chose to forgive, and why he only spoke of it now, showing the same tolerance and kindness as he had shown to that girl, was it not because of the beating feeling in his heart?

and so……

"I agree."
