Honkai Impact 3rd, what should an ordinary player do at the start?

Even though Bronya was holding him back, he didn't really have much hope in his heart, nor did he think that a wild child like himself, who didn't even want to beat his father, could stay by Jiang Cheng's side.

The reason she was so angry later, and the reason she grabbed his collar and pinned him down, was probably not only the anger at having a treasure she never dared to dream of being used and controlled by others at will, but also... a lot of it was the desire that suddenly arose after hearing about that incident—that, maybe I can do that too, maybe I can stay by Jiang Cheng's side in this way.

Instead of making amends after making a mistake, you try to solve the problem by taking shortcuts. How awful of you.

But.

Even though we've already gone to this extent.

Even though he was already such a terrible wild child.

Even now, I can still gaze into those cherry-colored eyes, still be comforted when I'm sad, and still have my head gently stroked like a child.

The gentle concern caught my eye. The worry on the boy's face at that moment, the expression that appeared because of me, was a scene that I could never forget in my life. It was something that I had to and absolutely had to etch deeply into my heart and mind, so that it would never be blurred, even on the day I was about to die. It had to be the most eye-catching and brightest scene in my life.

So we should care about him too.

"You must, you absolutely must believe in yourself."

—You are the only one who did nothing wrong.

"Ben... I will stay here with you forever."

……

……

……

I'm so clumsy, I don't even know how to confess my feelings...

As expected of a paramecium.

They are nowhere near as emotionally intelligent as I am.

Jiang Cheng's hands, which had been frozen in mid-air, suddenly wrapped tightly around Kiana's slender waist, as if he wanted to merge the girl into him. He then roughly and rudely kissed Kiana's glossy, warm pink lips.

Guh... Jiangcheng... Jiangcheng?

Snore... gurgle...

The girl's clear eyes widened suddenly, still retaining a trace of panic and shyness. However, her moist and pink lips parted slightly without any defense, allowing the tongue to penetrate her delicate mouth, which had never been intimate with another man before. She murmured pitifully, almost inaudible breaths.

Even a spirited young girl might not be able to respond immediately to such an intense kiss.

Unlike Mei's gentle yet strong exterior, Kiana's true nature is actually much softer.

Faced with such a forceful kiss, the girl, who had previously been so domineering as to pin the boy down and attempt to do something indecent, suddenly felt a little shy.

When the long, drawn-out kiss finally ended, even Kiana, a Valkyrie who had received some professional training, was flushed, her face burning red, and faint blue veins were visible beneath her snow-white neck from her disordered breathing. The beautiful girl looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, at the boy so close to her, who had been wallowing in self-pity.

"Guliu Cuwu VI" II Another Feeding Cage... Jiangcheng... Jiangcheng?"

"you're right."

All he got was a relieved smile.

Jiang Cheng let out a deep breath, and the gloom in his eyes had faded when he glanced at him again.

"I have already dealt with the world's second largest and most terrifying enemy. The largest enemy is the Honkai. All I need to do is follow the layout I see."

“I have done so much, really so much, to a degree that an ordinary person would never dare to imagine. I have nothing left to be attached to.”

Mei had never experienced being choked, nor had her core stolen by Junyang Xiaqiu.

Kiana will no longer be taken to Schicksal headquarters to forcibly awaken the Herrscher of the Void.

Otto no longer had the opportunity to commit evil, to create those pseudo-Herrschers, or to conduct one after another of those outrageous experiments where he would blow up a bunch of people if no one could clean up his mess perfectly—experiments that harmed others for his own benefit.

Even if I don't consider myself a good person and try my best to do evil, I can't compare to even a tenth of Otto's. In fact, my reforms to Destiny are something that Otto could never do in his lifetime, or even ten lifetimes. Not letting him abuse human experimentation is more painful than taking his life.

The biggest boss in the early to mid-game of Honkai Impact 3rd, and even the source of most disasters other than those beyond Honkai's control, has been eliminated. What could possibly stand in our way now? Even Kevin isn't out of the question. Besides, Kevin's intentions weren't to harm others for his own benefit like Otto, nor would he create a world-destroying catastrophe like Otto, leaving those who save the world to clean up his mess.

"The only problem I'm facing right now is a relationship issue; it's not like I'm going to be locked in a basement, is it?"

"At worst, I'll just slide to my knees at lightning speed. Anyway, if everyone just gives up, most of the world's problems can be solved."

……

……

……

I really feel you're in danger. If you keep acting like this, you'll definitely get beaten to your knees and locked in the basement.

Kiana swallowed those words.

At least we can't disturb Jiangcheng's dream at this time.

Yes.

Sweet dream.

No one would consider locking him in the basement; that's just wishful thinking.

Even Kiana has this desire, and if she didn't know clearly that she couldn't do it, she might actually do such a thing.

Such a tender, delicate, and fragile thing should be carefully preserved and locked away in the basement.

Letting such beautiful flowers out in the open, even if only the petals are slightly wrinkled by the wind, is a huge loss.

【…】

Ling kept a tense expression in the space of Jizo Mitama, her facial muscles were stretched to the limit—even so, laughter would occasionally escape her lips.

endure.

Endure it.

But how could anyone possibly hold back something so ridiculous?

You don't actually think you won't get beaten to your knees and locked in the basement, do you?

While showing her vulnerability, she is constantly helping others. Like a flower carved from fragile glass crystal, how could anyone who has been helped or witnessed this beauty not feel the desire to protect it, to keep it safe, to possess it exclusively, and to admire it only by themselves?

of course.

Ling won't remind her anymore.

For someone who has absolutely no emotional intelligence, even if you remind them, it probably won't do any good.

Perhaps only when he's locked in the basement will he realize that his unauthorized empathy and assistance will only draw the attention of those trapped to her.

Rescue is inherently a heart-stirring event; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many stories of heroes rescuing damsels in distress. Not to mention that the hero was willing to stoop down, disregarding his own disheveled state and muddy clothes, to pull her out bit by bit, carefully wiping away the mud and gently saying, "Don't be sad, you're still adorable."

Even the most wretched state will be embraced, the darkest hidden feelings will be seen and cared for, and all the shadows in your heart will be illuminated.

Who wouldn't like it, wouldn't crave it, even if it's just to get closer, even if it's just to take a few more glances?

If it remains so distant, it will probably only be buried deep in my heart for a long time, becoming a white moonlight that I will smile about when I think back on it decades later.

The problem is that it's too close, so close that it's as if you really think you can touch it, as if it's something you can grab, hold in your palm, or embrace in your arms.

Who could tolerate that?

Such a beautiful thing is right in front of me.

Who can resist touching something they can actually reach out to?

This is even more terrifying than stopping the flow of air.

If there's something even more terrifying, it's probably that you finally manage to hold it in your arms, finally manage to touch it, something that should rightfully belong to you and stay by your side, only to have it occasionally wander outside, attracting the attention of others. Seeing your beloved possession loved by others, even starting to challenge you. Your own space being encroached upon by others…

……

……

……

The mutual comfort and casual conversation came to a temporary end, and Jiang Cheng, having dispelled some of his melancholy, returned to normal and continued to sit with Kiana in their chairs, waiting.

At this point, it was the boy who took the initiative to start the conversation. The girl, who was originally full of energy, was still looking down because of the experience of being forcibly kissed, with her white hair hanging down to cover her face.

Woo——!

Even without seeing their expressions, you can sense their emotions.

It's absolutely, absolutely shameful.

Even though the barriers between people are like different seas, separated by islands and mountains, making it impossible to understand the emotions on the other side, and we can only guess at other people's feelings, sometimes stormy waves will rise up. Just like now, the roaring waves are enough to cross the cliffs and splash the cold seawater onto the boy on the other side.

Even though he couldn't understand why the person who could say "I want Mei's juice" would become so shy, Jiang Cheng still tried patting the soft shoulder.

"Are you okay?"

"Do not……"

Her shoulders, beneath the delicate fabric, trembled slightly.

Even touching his head like before didn't help at all; in fact, you could see his back trembling slightly.

Moving a little closer, one could faintly hear indistinct, almost murmured words—

"no……"

"what happened?"

Jiang Cheng leaned closer, bent down, and reached out to lift her long hair, trying to see what her hidden expression was like—even though she hadn't even had time to do anything yet, the moment she lowered her head, she was suddenly met with those beautiful, excited, shimmering blue eyes.

"—I absolutely cannot be forcibly kissed on my own!"

"How could 7 Meng Qiling Ba Qia Si Ba Ni Qi be forcibly kissed by a weak and vulnerable girl from a small town!"

what?

Where am I weak?

My subconscious instinct was to refute it in this way.

There was no chance left—because those eyes that suddenly met were so close that you could feel the warm breeze from their breath, their noses almost touching, and their lips felt an almost unimaginable softness and moisture. At the same time, their waist was tightly embraced by those long and soft arms that ran down their armpits.

The white, creamy lemon pressed tightly against her chest as if it were about to burst, like two mounds of fresh, thick, freshly squeezed milk, incredibly smooth. Even though Kiana's movements weren't considered large by today's standards, the soft sensation from such intimate contact seemed no less than that of Mei and the others.

Although the boy had no time to pay attention at that moment.

All my energy.

All attention.

Everything in this body has now been taken away by those eyes.

Even ignoring her delicate face, from this angle where you can't see her whole face, her eyes, framed by strands of hair glistening with starlight, are still incredibly soft and moist.

Just touching.

It was just a kiss.

That's enough to stir your heartstrings and evoke your emotions.

To embrace and passionately kiss such a girl under the moonlight.

Who in this world can look away from this dreamlike moment?

Otto is no longer in my way, and I no longer need to worry about my safety, so I don't need to restrain myself anymore. I don't need to be afraid to be intoxicated by the emotions that have reached their peak in this moment; even if I'm about to be drowned in this happiness, which is called romance, it's beautiful enough.

yes……

Enjoy it.

Jiang's wife, Lingba Siliu, also squinted her eyes, lost in the moment.

He didn't stop Kiana from being tightly embraced, and even though he wanted to deny the title of "weak bottom," he didn't interrupt Kiana's interest at this moment.

……

【Really. 】

Are those who leave first the ones who reap the rewards?

What will Otto do next? He's scared Jiang Cheng so much, and only now, thanks to Kiana's reminder, has he finally calmed down.

Feeling that nothing she says will be noticed or listened to properly, Ling simply started complaining.

That guy named Otto wasn't hard to kill, was he?

How could Jiang Cheng be so frightened?

Hey……
