Honkai Q&A, Starting with Kiana

How ironic.

"..." Gray Snake pretended not to see anything.

If other people say these words, Gray Snake will let the other person have a taste of what it means to have a snake by your side.

But the person who said this was Mebius...

It doesn't matter, Snake can have any bad intentions.

The video continues to play -

[The two walked for a long time, but found nothing strange. Although it was bad to say this, Kiana breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, no one knows what the real spiritual shackles are, if you start a battle with an inexplicable enemy in St. Freya Academy.

The surrounding environment will inevitably be affected.

Just think of it as her personal selfishness.

Kiana didn't want one of the last remaining pure lands in her heart to be destroyed.

She wanted to keep Saint Freya as she was in her memory.

The two of them stopped and walked along the way, teasing each other about their past days in the academy.

After school, grabbing food in the cafeteria, going shopping on weekends, cleaning the room... these are all daily chores.

But now it seems that it is an indispensable part of life.

Unknowingly, the two of them arrived at the training ground. It would be a good choice if they just stayed here with the mental shackles.

But unfortunately, the mental shackles are just as restless as Kiana.

Rarely, there was a hint of twitching in Mei Yi's eyes, and she tugged on the other person's ears.

"Mei, I'm not a child anymore." Kiana pouted.

"Of course." Meiyi did not let go, but the action of tugging on the ears changed to stroking: "Now yours, even if you don't need me to tug on the ears, and Bronya doesn't need to use provocation, you will still do it. What you should do is better to say..."

"Maybe it's a little scary."

Compared with the diligence of Youlandale, the laziness is actually more suitable for the person in front of him.

At least, she didn't want to see Kiana forcing herself. The Chongchong who laughed wantonly in the past was what she wanted to see.

"That being said..."

Mei's words easily triggered Kiana's network of thoughts.

When the net shook, the position of the thread of thinking naturally stopped there.

That's right.

Kiana knew very well that what she and Mei Yi were going to say next would probably not be able to avoid that day.

Bypassing the day she was taken away by Fu Hua, Teresa led Saint Freya to rebel against the destiny.

However, after Kiana had this idea.

Her thinking space fell into a meaningless silence.

It's as if someone pressed the restart button on a computer.

At the same time, everything in that space is also being reconstructed secretly at an extremely fast speed...

The scene changed quickly, and when Kiana rubbed her head, she opened her eyes again.

"Ah, this is it?!!"

Be amazed by the sight of another place engraved in your soul.

This is the place where Kiana and Raiden Mei got to know each other, got to know each other, and parted again.

Qianyu Academy in Changkong City.

On the ruined roof of the academy, there are still traces of the battle between the two.

There were holes pierced by archon spears, the ground slashed by thunder knives, the iron nets torn apart, and the seats scattered.

Judging from the traces, one can vaguely appreciate the intensity of the battle between the two at that time.

However, at this moment, the two of them were no longer so tense.

Unlike that day, there was no thunder in the sky now.

"I originally thought that there would at least be a process for us to prepare, such as a door or light group appearing out of thin air, and only after touching it would we enter other spaces..."

Mei Yi's confused statement and the manifestation of the sequelae of Paradise made Kiana laugh.

Reality is not a game, or should I say that you were leaned over by Bronya.

The former wanted to explain, but was reminded by the latter's frown as to why Mei Yi had become so rigid now.

This is different from the Thunder Queen in Influence.

"I was... afraid to think about what happened here."

Leiden Meiyi put his arms on the iron net.

The environment affects and changes the people in it to a great extent.

Different from the calmness shown in the previous thought space, here, Raiden Meiyi is always hesitant about 'what words to say', 'what actions to take', and 'what emotions to express'.

A burst of silence surrounded them, creating a small distance between the two...]

: No. 1,249. You are more important than this world.

[The mental shackles seem to be no longer here.

There is nothing here except them.

Exactly the same as that day...except for the atmosphere.

As if to break the dull atmosphere, Kiana crossed the barbed wire fence, leaned on the rooftop terrace with her hands, and looked at the rising sun above the clouds.

"Look, Meiyi, there happens to be a hole in the barbed wire fence here, which is very convenient for looking out."

Kiana was quite curious. She couldn't remember exactly when such a big hole appeared.

Even when I think about the problem, I feel a vague pain in my body.

Before Kiana could continue thinking, Raiden Mei gave an answer that shocked her.

"It seems to have come out when I knocked you down..."

The scene was awkward for a moment...]

"Should I say it or not, it is quite inappropriate for Kiana to ask this question, especially for the two parties involved."

Is there anything more absurd than the victim asking the perpetrator?

"Ahaha, it's okay, it's okay, I don't mind, and I won't mind what's on the screen."

Kiana knows the reason why Mei did what she did in Sinner's Elegy.

How could he blame her? Even Kiana, who was only briefly known on the screen, would not blame Mei.

"You really have the confidence of your style, Makiana." Raiden Mei said with emotion.

"I have guessed the mechanism of consciousness space transformation." Fu Hua, who holds Yu Duchen, can use spiritual power to a degree that outsiders cannot imagine.

She could easily see the pattern.

"If my guess is correct, that transformation should be related to Kiana's emotional fluctuations. As for whether it is related to the emotion itself or the intensity of the fluctuations, I am not sure."

After all, he has only observed it once, so it is good that Fu Hua can guess and analyze it to the current point.

The video continues to worship Buddha...

[The scenery on the rooftop is very nice, but it’s a pity that on that day when the thunder was loud, they didn’t have the mood to appreciate everything.

At this moment, both of them were silent and looked into the distance together in tacit understanding.

The dilapidated city ruins present a kind of beauty that is reborn amidst the dilapidation.

Generally speaking, most people like to avoid silence in conversations, as if it is a pair of scissors that will constantly cut off the friendship between the two parties - when the silence accumulates to a certain level, the conversation will lose its meaning.

But for them, these silences allowed the minds of both parties to merge, and then they realized more of the other's original state of mind.

"Mei."

"Um?"

"It's okay, I just want to call your name suddenly."

Kiana's eyes were rippled.

In fact, regarding what happened that day, at first, Kiana felt that she had a lot to say that she had not yet had time to tell Mei.

But then one day, she suddenly realized that it was not really a question of what to say, because how could Raiden Mei not know what Kiana was thinking.

The reverse is also true.

Raiden Mei has also thought a lot about how to avoid a battle that shouldn't happen in Sinner's Elegy.

For example, the two of them sit down and talk.

But always, Mei could not find the optimal solution.

Because ‘you want to keep me’ and ‘I want to save you’ – there’s actually nothing wrong with either of those.

Since neither of them is wrong, it is difficult to convince the other party with words.

Since there was nothing wrong...it was inevitable that the two of them would do some extreme things at that time.

Maybe this is growth.

Today, the two still hold similar beliefs as they did then, but they no longer need to convince each other.

The difference may lie in a subtle sense of proportion.

If we could open our hearts earlier, the many twists and turns experienced in the process would at least not be so painful.

But on the other hand, without that day's battle, the two of them might not have grown as much as they did today, let alone become who they are now.

The two of them smiled knowingly.

The moment their eyes met, they clearly sensed that the last bits of the invisible barrier that once stood between the two of them were finally dissipated with the laughter...]

That battle changed many people.

But that doesn't mean Kiana wants to fight Mei.

"I know that when faced with the same thing related to me, Mei Yi's mood swings tend to be greater than others."

Kiana stared at the palms in front of her. As the white light flowed, the power of the saint slowly became active. The power burst out from her white hands was enough to destroy this teaching building in an instant.

But... Kiana clenched her hands.

"But you showed that you just silently tolerated and accepted everything about me, and gave me guidance and help when I needed it—from the first time we met until today, this has always been the case."

"..." Leiden Meiyi remained silent, silently came behind the white-haired girl and hugged her gently.

"Fighting for all the good in the world is what I believe in, and it is also what I learned from the video."

"And in my heart..." The two people's hands touched each other and their fingers interlocked: "Mei Yi, you are the most special existence among these beautiful things."

"Just because you are special - I hope that you can put yourself...in a more important place than me or the world."

After saying these words, Kiana breathed a sigh of relief. After all, what she had received were words that were of great weight to anyone.

For this reason, she has been waiting for a suitable opportunity, not from a 'need to respond', but from a 'want to respond'.

Although she knew that even if she said her thoughts exactly, it might not be the answer the other party wanted to hear.

But at this moment, she still wanted to convey her feelings to the other party in this way.

Instead of 'Kiana' on the screen thinking one step ahead of 'Raiden Mei''s confession and repeating it.

So, Meiyi, what do you think?

"...I'm sorry, Kiana, I can't agree to it anymore."

"...Why." Kiana's heart trembled, and a golden cross vaguely flashed in her eyes.

Xilin, who was drinking happy water and teaching her dragon lady how to be a maid, also had crosses in her eyes. She muttered: "Is Kiana broken in love? Her mood swings are so exaggerated..."
