Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

Fuyou told Asakura Miyuki the truth and did not hide the true situation from Asakura Miyuki.

"...Monster?" Her eyes widened in horror, and a hint of unwillingness appeared in Asakura Miyuki's beautiful eyes.

"Yes, if it were just me, I could at most keep you sane, but without some special means, your body would still be unable to escape the fate of being corroded."

Fu You nodded. While he possessed immense power, he wasn't omniscient. Even he was helpless in these matters, at best using Yu Duchen to sober the other party. He'd heard that both Destiny and Anti-Entropy had researched this, but ultimately, they still didn't have a way to completely eliminate the erosion of Honkai energy. Except for that thing... which was incredibly precious, extremely difficult to obtain, and could heal those affected with virtually no side effects, while also enhancing their potential.

"Since Bella brought you back, I won't sit idly by."

Looking at the desperate Asakura Miyuki, Fuyou spoke slowly.

"I have to say it, you're pretty lucky. I can save you."

After all, this was Bella's first true friend from outside the world, and Fuyou wouldn't sit idly by. Furthermore, he was only slightly damaged by Houkai energy, so there was still room for recovery. Slowly withdrawing a test tube filled with crimson liquid, Fuyou approached Asakura Miyuki.

"There's still a little holy blood, it can help you."

"Holy, holy blood?" The voice trembled, and Asakura Miyuki's pupils trembled. She had no way of accepting the fact.

"...Is this some kind of fantasy movie?"

Chapter 106: Peak of Dragon Life

Under Cecilia's holy blood, the features eroded by the Houkai energy melted away like ice and snow in the blazing sun. Correspondingly, the girl's resistance and adaptability to Houkai energy were greatly enhanced. With the blessing of the holy blood, with diligent practice, she would surely become a formidable warrior in time, Fu You thought, looking at the girl before her. Asakura Miyuki closed her eyes slightly, as if bathed in the gentle sunlight, a look of comfort. She felt a long-lost peace, and her frantic and chaotic thoughts vanished with the dissipation of the Houkai energy. After completely freeing herself from the Houkai energy's influence, Asakura Miyuki finally remembered what she had done today. She had said so many explicit things to Bella! At this thought, a crimson crimson spread across Asakura Miyuki's face. While she did have feelings for Bella, such bold expressions of affection were not her style.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Fu You looked at Asakura Miyuki, puzzled. She had clearly escaped the erosion of Honkai energy, so why did she seem even more emotionally unstable? Blushing, Asakura Miyuki lowered her head and squeezed out a sentence.

"Excuse me... How should I face Bella next?" "Nothing, just stay true to yourself."

Hearing this, Fu You immediately understood. He gave Asakura Miyuki a meaningful look and smiled. To be honest, he also wanted to see the excitement, especially since it was related to his younger generation.

"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation... Please listen to my explanation!" In the living room, Bella looked at Sirin pitifully, while the latter was still sulking because Asakura Miyuki expressed her love to her relatives.

"No, no! I won't listen! You dared to bring home a girl you don't even know today, Bella? I can't even imagine what you'll do in the future!" Xilin was indignant. She felt that her Bella had been tricked by a bad woman. Just imagine, her always well-behaved and obedient family member suddenly had to bring home a strange girl from school... At least according to Xilin's personality, she could never accept Bella being attracted to a girl from outside.

"You've already brought her home... You might as well just live with Miyuki from now on!" Xilin puffed up her cheeks and looked at Bella angrily.

"I was wondering why you acted so decisively last night. Tell me, did you plan this all along?" "Your Majesty, I'm being unfairly accused..." Bella said innocently. She had brought Asakura Miyuki back just to get Fuyou's opinion, but why were the seniors and the Queen acting so strangely? Kiana, Aurora, Agata, and Galina watched the excitement, whispering among themselves.

"What did Bella do? Why is the Queen so angry?" Agata, the most straightforward, scratched her head. She was not quite sure why the Queen was angry.

"Is it because of the girl that Sister Bella brought back that made Her Majesty the Queen unhappy?" Galina spoke timidly, looking sympathetically at Bella who was facing the pressure from Xilin.

"According to humans, the Queen must be jealous."

In the end, it was Aurora who was knowledgeable and had the final word.

"That Sirin is so cute even when she's angry..." Looking at Sirin, Kiana couldn't help laughing.

"Don't you think she looks like a puffed-up pufferfish? Hahaha!" The three Herrschers looked at Kiana with admiration. For so many years, not even Fu You dared to tease Xilin in person when she was angry. After all, as the elders said, the Queen should at least be given some dignity that belongs to her.

"You guys... shut up!" Unable to bear it any longer, Xilin yelled angrily at the three little ones and Kiana.

"Also, Kiana, call me sister!" Xilin glared at Kiana fiercely with an unfriendly look.

"Really, why are you still angry and embarrassed..." Kiana curled her lips, but still didn't dare to look directly at Xilin and looked away.

"Hmph, Bella, I'll spare you this time..." Looking at the pitiful Bella in front of her, Xilin softened her heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bella was overjoyed, but before she could finish her words, a teasing voice came from the side.

"Bella, I've talked to Asakura Miyuki, and she really wants to be friends with you!" "Oh! Celine? Why are you here too? I'm so sorry, I didn't consider your feelings. I'm so sorry."

By pretending to be shocked and speaking "inadvertently", Fu You successfully ignited Xilin, the powder keg.

"By the way, Bella wants to make new friends, it's definitely not because you are too strict with her, right, Bella?" After thinking about it, Fu You added another "thoughtful" blow.

"Senior, you..." Bella was stunned, as if struck by a bolt of lightning, her skin charred and her body tender. Bella stared at Fu You with clear eyes, as if demanding an explanation. Fu You, the old man who had lived for thousands of years, whistled and turned his gaze away calmly.

"Bella, am I really... so harsh?" Xilin's calm voice came from her ears, and Bella knew that it was over.

"No, no, listen to my explanation, Queen..." Bella looked at Celine with tears in her eyes, feeling that she was about to die. However, unexpectedly, Celine hugged Bella and bared her teeth at Asakura Miyuki.

"...Bella is mine, don't even think about snatching her from me!" "I, I'll treat Bella well from now on!" Despite her blushing cheeks, Xilin stubbornly declared her right to Bella. Was I dreaming? The Queen actually held me in her arms and said such words? So happy... Feeling Xilin's warmth, Bella nearly fainted. At this moment, Bella felt that even if she died in the next moment, she would have no regrets.

"I'm sorry, Bella, for causing you trouble..." Bowing slightly, under Xilin's dangerous gaze, Asakura Miyuki walked slowly to Bella's side, took her hand, and spoke sincerely.

"Thank you for saving me that night, Bella. I want to be friends with you, is that okay?" "I, this, the Queen..." Bella looked at Xilin hesitantly, hoping that her Queen would express her opinion.

"It's your own business, why are you asking me?" Adhering to the idea of ​​out of sight, out of mind, Xilin turned her head away in a huff, let go of her hand, and didn't want to look at Bella again.

"Bella, please give me your guidance in the future!" However, Asakura Miyuki took the opportunity to seize the opportunity and said happily without giving Bella a chance to refuse.

"You..." Xilin was choked, her eyes widened, and she looked in disbelief at Asakura Miyuki who showed a hint of playfulness.

"What a touching story of friendship, isn't it?" At some point, Fu You walked behind Xilin and spoke in a mean voice.

"No, you are definitely involved in the current situation!" Suddenly as if she understood something, Xilin immediately looked at Fu You, trying to see something fishy from the other's expression.

"Hmm, maybe?" Fu You responded lazily, thought for a moment, and added.

"Anyway, the matter is done, and you have no evidence, right?" After saying that, without any hesitation, Fu You picked up Aurora, who was still eating watermelon next to him with a confused look on her face, and disappeared in a flash.

"Waaaaaaahh ...!" Xilin was furious and was screaming in frustration.

Chapter 107: Three Years Sakura

The next day, at Qianyu Academy.

"Your Majesty, do you agree to go for a walk with me?" Walking on the campus, Bella still looked at Xilin in disbelief, with a glint of light in her eyes.

"Hmph, I'm not a harsh person. Of course I will agree to my family's request."

Still brooding over what happened yesterday, Xilin pretended to be indifferent.

"Also, you must remember that you will always be my dependent, Bella."

Xilin emphasized this, narrowing her eyes as she stared at Bella. Remembering how Asakura Miyuki had pushed her too far yesterday, Xilin was furious, but she couldn't get angry in front of Bella. Since then, Xilin's sense of crisis has been growing. She didn't want her family to be abducted by a bad woman.

"Of course, Your Majesty!" Bella agreed, though she didn't understand why Celine was stating such obvious things. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers, delicate and lingering, refreshing the senses. They continued their stroll, the cherry blossoms beneath their feet rustling softly under their feet. In the distance, the branches of the cherry trees intertwined, and sunlight filtered through the gaps between the branches, creating patches of light and shadow.

"I've never watched so quietly like this before."

While admiring the beautiful scenery before her, Xilin asked Bella.

"These cherry blossoms are quite nice... Bella, do you like cherry blossoms?" "Yes, Your Majesty, I love cherry blossoms the most!" Bella nodded repeatedly, following Xilin's words. After all, if Xilin liked a flower, no matter what it was, Bella would love it too. The two were so absorbed in the scene that they didn't notice that behind them, a young girl who had been following them all the way here gently squeezed the sachet in her hand.

"Bella-san likes cherry blossoms... That's great..." Asakura Miyuki faintly breathed a sigh of relief and cheered herself up.

"Asakura Miyuki, you can do it!"

During lunch, Sirin and Kiana heard that Mei Raiden knew a sword technique and clamored for a demonstration. Sirin handed her classwork to her retainer, naturally, without Bella. After helping the Queen finish her homework, Bella settled down to eat, only to see a figure blocking the light in front of her.

"Huh?" Bella looked up in surprise and found Asakura Miyuki standing in front of her.

"Miyuki-san?" Bella didn't know why her "new friend" was looking for her, and for a moment, she remained confused.

"Bella, please accept this!" Asakura Miyuki said softly, taking out a sachet that exuded the fragrance of cherry blossoms.

"The sachet...is it for me?" Pointing at herself, Bella looked a little puzzled.

"That's right. Before get out of class, I heard you say that you really like the scent of cherry blossoms, so I'm going to give you this sachet made of cherry blossoms."

The girl offered the sachet with both hands, bowing her head shyly. There was something Asakura Miyuki hadn't said. Legend has it that if a girl crafts a sachet out of petals from the same cherry blossom tree between the ages of 14, 15, and 16, the god of Mount Fuji will bless her love. Driven by a desire for Bella's companionship and the suppressed emotions within, Asakura Miyuki mustered the courage to finally give Bella this precious sachet.

"Take it, Bella-san. We are good friends."

Eyes filled with anxiety and hope, Asakura Miyuki looked at Bella, a hint of nervousness rising deep within her. Unlike the decisions made by the Honkai, Miyuki Asakura was now completely serious. Growing up, she had always been shunned by others due to her exceptionalism and social awkwardness. That was until she met Bella... This mysterious, powerful, kind, and warm-hearted girl, unlike anyone else, captivated Miyuki Asakura. Even more heartwarming, they had become partners. Just as Bella's first friend was Miyuki Asakura, so too was Bella her first true friend.

"Thank you, Miyuki! I love it!" Unsuspectingly, Bella took the sachet and smiled faintly. At the same time, Asakura Miyuki's lips curved slightly. ... "Bella, where did you get that sachet?" After returning from the martial arts club, Xilin spotted the sachet hanging from Bella's waist.

"This is a gift from Miyuki!" Bella was very happy. It really feels good to have friends.

"Miyuki-san...it's her again?" The smile froze on Xilin's face, and a dangerous look flashed in her eyes.

"Well, does Her Majesty the Queen want it too?" Bella nodded thoughtfully and whispered in Xilin's ear.

"If Her Majesty the Queen likes it, I will definitely not take the sachet that Miyuki gave me for myself!" "Who... who likes it!" Seeing Bella approaching so boldly, Xilin's body stiffened and her eyes were vague.

"Hmph, keep it for yourself. I wouldn't fight with my own family for something!" Xilin turned her head away in anger, ignoring Bella's flattery.

Somewhere in Changkong City, several students were walking together. Suddenly, one of them fell to the ground and kept twitching.

"What's wrong with you?" his companions leaned over, asking with concern. The next moment, for unknown reasons, the rest of them collapsed, their bodies undergoing a strange transformation. A few of them were no longer breathing, while the others slowly rose to their feet, their appearance drastically different from before. Their eyes had lost their rationality, transforming them into complete monsters. A closer look revealed that these monsters bore a striking resemblance to the appearance of Asakura Miyuki during her previous rampage.

"Roar——" roared aimlessly, these beings who were human beings before, now seemed to have become minions of Honkai. The dead soldiers are special beings formed by the mutation of humans infected by Honkai energy, and are one of the most direct and concrete manifestations after the arrival of the Honkai disaster. They are transformed by humans with high resistance and adaptability to Honkai energy. As for those humans with weak resistance to Honkai energy, they will completely become a corpse. In the process of transformation, human consciousness and thinking will be completely destroyed by Honkai energy, losing all rationality and emotions, and becoming a killing machine driven only by instinct. Under Cocolia's plan, the artificial Honkai plan carried out in Changkong City was officially implemented from this moment on. ...At the same time, at Fuyou's home. [Evacuation failed] "Don't blame me, the signal is cut off."

After failing to evacuate again, Aurora looked at Fu You and spread her hands innocently.

"Alas... it has to be at this time..." Fu You slowly put down the game console, looked at the dim sky in the distance, and spoke softly.

"Get ready, call Agatha and Galina, and go to Qianyu Academy together."

Looking at this house that had only been lived in for a few days, Fu You felt a little regretful.

"Pack up, we probably won't be coming back."

Chapter 108: The Collapse of Changkong City

"You can feel it, destruction has come to this city."

Sensing the commotion coming from all over the city and the gradually increasing concentration of Honkai energy in the air, Fu You slowly spoke.

"But sadly, this disaster, which could have caused countless deaths, ultimately came from human beings themselves."

Thinking of the blonde woman, Fu You sighed softly. Kokolia was ambitious, to be sure, but she hadn't considered whether she could control the situation that might unfold. As a calamity that has haunted human civilization since its inception, how could the collapse of the system be controlled by a mere anti-entropy executor? "Tsk, foolish, impatient, exactly like Chi Yuan before."

With a sneer, a hint of amusement flashed in Fu You's eyes. Just like the Spark Plan implemented by Chi Yuan, Cang Xuan, and Dan Zhu, although the idea was sound, rushing into it was counterproductive. They prematurely gave the ancients all kinds of knowledge, allowing civilization to flourish, but they never considered that the Collapse would deal a heavy blow to the nascent civilization. However, at that time, although small and medium-sized Collapses continued to occur, keeping Fu You and Chi Yuan busy, surprisingly, there had not been a single devastating Collapse. However, after examining a large amount of data and memories, Fu You suddenly realized that the Collapse should have been a punishment that dealt a heavy blow to civilization - it seemed that it was himself... Shaking his head, without recalling the past, Fu You turned to look at Aurora and the other two.

"Now, we must immediately go to Qianyu Academy and control the girl who has the Conquest Gem in her body."

"This Cocolia is much dumber than Chiyuan. She doesn't have even the slightest bit of reverence for Honkai, and she doesn't understand the horror of Honkai at all."

As he walked, Fu You shook his head. He didn't understand how Kokolia, who had personally experienced the Second Great Collapse, had the confidence to covet a Herrscher.

"We don't need to rush, right? The Queen and Bella are both there. They shouldn't have any trouble containing a mere girl with the Conquest Gem." Agata objected, confused as to why Fu You seemed so worried. The Queen had a Herrscher-level warrior and Bella, a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, while the other side was merely a human embedded with the Conquest Gem. No matter how you look at it, the advantage should be on the Queen's side, right? "Xilin's combat power is as unreliable as her gaming skills..." Fu You looked at Agata, as if suddenly remembering something, and spoke in confusion.

"By the way, has she ever won any battles?" "Uh, yeah..." Scratching her head awkwardly, Agata fell silent and said nothing more.

Inside the Far East branch of the Destiny Organization, Theresa clutched the communicator tightly in her hand, a long-lost hint of nervousness showing on her face.

"Damn it, this numerical collapse..." Theresa muttered to herself, not continuing. She looked towards Changkong City with concern, thinking back to the catastrophe that had occurred over a decade ago. Even now, she still remembered it vividly.
