Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

The girl's slightly surprised voice echoed in this deep red space, but I didn't see the source of the voice.

"..."

It's as if a force from the abyss is oppressing my body and mind all the time. Maybe I really shouldn't have come here...

"Hmm? You're so scared you can't even say anything? I really don't understand how someone like you managed to survive in this 'sea'~"

"I……"

I wanted to say something, but a force subconsciously made me remain silent.

"Well~ But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. After all, it's very reasonable for anything to happen here in the countless connected worlds~"

"..."

"Are you really not going to say anything? Even for me, it's boring to stay here all the time~"

"..."

"I'm talking about you... huh?"

The girl seemed to notice something and stopped talking abruptly.

"What exactly are you..."

I could sense the surprise and growing wariness in her tone, but I couldn't make any sound at the moment, otherwise I would have to explain it clearly.

"...Forget it, it looks like you'll disappear soon, so it doesn't matter what it is..."

"I'm going to disappear? What is she talking about? How can I possibly…"

All this happened so suddenly that I was a little overwhelmed. However, just as I was thinking this, a feeling of sleepiness suddenly flooded into my brain, interrupting my thoughts.

'what happened……'

But the reality was just as she said, my fuzzy consciousness was gradually approaching the edge of disappearing, and I couldn't even think. And what she said at the last moment before I disappeared was.

"Goodbye, everyone. Goodbye, Captain."

That nasty feeling again...

The bluestone sank to the bottom of the sea, waiting for the moment to be salvaged...

A beam of warm light shines into the endless darkness...

Fortunately, that moment wasn't too far away.

"Sister Bronya? Sister Bronya, it's time to get up~"

"who is it?"

My hazy consciousness was awakened again, and the extremely gentle female voice warmed my heart like the sun, making me unconsciously reach out to try to catch that ray of sunshine.

However, the closer I got, the more real the heaviness of the body became. Just reaching out my hand seemed to take an eternity. It was clearly just a matter of a split second. Why was it so...

My intense curiosity prompted me to gradually open my eyes. In the haze, I seemed to see a blue-haired girl, but her expression was no longer clear. Only the light was truly dazzling...

"Sister Bronya? What's wrong with you?"

"Bronya?"

When I heard this name again, accompanied by severe pain, my brain seemed to be forced to be infused with countless memories, and the scenery in front of me gradually became clearer with the influx of memories.

"I'm……"

As if in another world, the light disappeared, as if it had never been there, taking away all my pain, leaving only the warmth coming from all parts of my body, but I know that this warmth does not come from that light.

"Xi'er Fuleai..."

"Remember this name, it will help you find your way home in the vast ocean."

An inexplicable sound woke me up. When I woke up again, I was lying on the bed and stretched out my arms as if to grab something, but there was nothing where my arms reached.

“…Am I…back…?”

It is dusk now, and the golden sunset shines into the house through the curtains. It is not dim, but it does give a romantic feeling.

The feeling of comfort all over my body did not disappear. I supported myself with my hands and sat up. As I sat up, a clean towel fell from my forehead.

"This is……?"

After a moment's pause, I gradually remembered everything that had happened... I looked around, and saw that my room was tidy, with a bowl of cold porridge on the table, and Bronya was sitting on the floor against the corner of the bed, apparently asleep.

For some reason, looking at Bronya sitting on the ground, I felt a mixture of emotions...

Of course, I have to thank Bronya for everything today, otherwise I wouldn't have recovered so quickly, but her kindness... can I really afford it?

I slowly got out of bed and carried Bronya, who was sitting on the ground, to the bed. Bronya's innocent face was undoubtedly very attractive to me, but was it really just her appearance that made me fall hopelessly in love with her?

After tucking her in, I sat by her bed, quietly watching her. The scene I had seen in my dream not long ago was undoubtedly real. Xier, Cocolia, and the boundless ocean... That was their world, their story. That light wasn't meant for me, and it couldn't possibly reach me. I understood, I understood better than anyone...

The more I stare at her, the more I become addicted. She is so beautiful, so dazzling...

But now that all paths are clear, what is there to worry about?

I slowly leaned over, and along with the golden sunset, I gently kissed Bronya's lips...

This is our first kiss...but just this once is enough.

"Thanks……"

I said unconsciously.

Then, I gently stroked Bronya's face with my hand. Someone was waiting for her, but it was definitely not me.

Someone was important in her life, but it wasn't me.

Someone needs her, and it's definitely not just me...

And in that place where the light does not reach, my goal is already very clear.

"I will definitely send you back, Bronya, back to the world where you belong. That is your home..."

I don't know why I do this, but I do know that I have to do it because it's the right thing to do...

Then I got up and left.

"My story has ended, your story has just begun..."

With the sound of the door closing, the room returned to silence again.

The sun sets...

Just another ordinary day...

Without passion or sadness, people always spend every day and every year like this, ordinary, until the torrent called time washes away everything we have, and finally nothing is left, as if it had never been there.

As it should be.

But why did the girl cry?

In the darkness, the girl who should have fallen asleep shed transparent tears from the corners of her eyes. No one knew except herself.

I said unconsciously.

Then, I gently stroked Bronya's face with my hand. Someone was waiting for her, but it was definitely not me.

Someone was important in her life, but it wasn't me.

Someone needs her, and it's definitely not just me...

And in that place where the light does not reach, my goal is already very clear.

"I will definitely send you back, Bronya, back to the world where you belong. That is your home."

I don't know why I do this, but I do know that I have to do it because it's the right thing to do.

Then I got up and left.

"My story has ended, and yours has just begun."

With the sound of the door closing, the room returned to silence again.

The sun sets

Another ordinary day

Without passion or sadness, people always spend every day and every year like this, ordinary, until the torrent called time washes away everything we have, and finally nothing is left, as if it had never been there.

As it should be.

But why does the girl cry?

In the darkness, the girl who should have been asleep shed transparent tears from the corners of her eyes. No one knew except herself:

"Brother Gao Su, save me..."

Volume 1: Have We Really Defeat Honkai?: Chapter 14: Absolute Zone Zero, Please Witness

"This is.....!?"

A bonfire of firewood appeared in front of Seele, dispelling the dreams around her and also dispelling 'Bronya' who should have been by her side.

"So warm."

During the time she was away from Xier, she had forgotten the feeling of warmth. Yes, the one looking at the firewood bonfire at this moment was Hei Xier.

She reached out her hand and touched the warm bonfire that dispelled the severe cold brought by the quantum sea.

The captain she was thinking about was currently discussing the game design with Bronya:

"For example, we can design Valkyrie Armor into another new game."

Gao Su thought of a way to use the Valkyrie Armor, but Bronya couldn't help but sigh when she thought of what the captain had done to them while wearing the Valkyrie Armor:

"Mihoyo doesn't make butter, Captain."

"Just kidding, with our animation, real-time rendering, and enhanced Unreal Engine, it would be a shame not to make a porn game."

Gao Su covered his head and sighed, then took out a USB drive and placed it on Bronya's desk:

"Here, the non-butter version you asked for."

Bronya inserted the USB drive into her computer, saved the game she had created, "Alahato α", and then opened the file inside the USB drive:

The Valkyrie Armor is a multifunctional armor designed to resist the Honkai Impact. It uses theories such as reaction force wings, interference of flow waves, and stagnation of time and space.

"It's not me who's wrong, it's this damned world! This hypocritical world should be destroyed!"

Mei's line was deliberately highlighted by Gao Su in a conspicuous color. Bronya was stunned for a moment, quickly took a screenshot, and sent this picture to Mei:

"Mei, the captain has incorporated your dark history into the game."

Then he turned to look at Gao Su:

"If you do that, Mei will beat you to death."

"In that case, let's give up and move this out."

Gao Su shook his head, deleted the game file, and then opened another one:

"Here's another one. The background story of "Zero" is the same as ours. It tells the story of a new city rebuilt after a great disaster, New Airito."

"New Ellito?"

Bronya looked at the familiar name, then glanced at her captain. What was he thinking?

"Yes, New Ellito!"

Gao Su nodded, and looking at the four words "New Erito", Bronya fell into deep thought.

You just want to keep taking advantage of us? You even did the dubbing for us and put it into the game.

While thinking this, Bronya clicked on the game CG of "Zero Area Zero" "The user you dialed is in the void".

"This is a dangerous world invaded by the mysterious disaster "The Hollow". The old civilization was destroyed and the order was buried."

"Fortunately, there is a city capable of dealing with the Hollow disaster: New Airito."

"Various individuals with different reasons and beliefs gathered here to challenge the Hollow for their own goals."

“And you are their indispensable collaborator, a professional who guides people safely out of the void: the ‘Rope Maker.’ This is your story.”

After reading it, Bronya clapped her hands, as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders, and looked at Gao Su with admiration:

"Finally, I've seen a game without us, Captain. But why did you name it New Ai Li?"
