Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

I wish An Yu good luck. Vilvi is such a good person.

At 7:10 a.m., An Yu was wondering if Wilvi was awake when she sent her a message in the elevator.

An Yu: "Great Magician, are you awake? QAQ"

She replied almost instantly, sending a starving emoji. Perhaps it was a dual personality between the online and real worlds, but when chatting on her phone, she wasn't as assertive as she was in real life; she seemed rather soft-hearted.

Okay! Good that you're awake!

"Then I'll be coming in, Great Sorcerer."

Hey, while Vilvi was curled up in the hospital bed, staring at the chat interface, An Yu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hi, did you miss me?"

Under Wilvi's surprised gaze, An Yu skillfully raised the table behind the hospital bed, which was used for eating.

While eating, Wilvi listened to An Yu chat. An Yu was very talkative, and although Wilvi often didn't know how to respond, she enjoyed other people's incessant chatter.

However, after hearing Mebius's evaluation of her, Vervi suddenly raised her eyes, and her expression became more serious.

"She said there's something wrong with me?"

"That's not it. After all, Sister Mei is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She's mainly worried about me getting into trouble, since I don't have many friends."

Velvi paused for a moment. What right did Mebius have to worry about An Yu being tricked by her? Even after Velvi learned that An Yu was the other party's younger brother, she didn't worry that An Yu would one day die on the other party's operating table.

Mebius is very famous, but almost all of it is negative. Many people speak ill of her, criticizing her character, values, cognition, and humanity in every aspect, but no one has ever said that Mebius is bad at cooking.

To be fair, people with this kind of reputation should probably order better food.

"...Don't you have many friends?"

But none of that matters. Let Möbius do whatever he wants. Vervi also has her own confidence and arrogance. She believes that her talent is second to none.

No matter how much trouble Mebius caused her brother, she always managed to keep An Yu safe.

"I wouldn't say that. If Sister Mei is considered family, then my friends are only Alicia, Brother Hen, Sister Blanca, and you."

It sounds pretty tragic at first glance, but An Yu has only been here for less than two months, and even moved house in between. It's really amazing that she was able to gather four people even so.

Although it was put together rather than intended.

But Wilvi, who was originally quite introverted, suddenly became more cheerful. It's good to have no friends!

Unlike many people, she doesn't even dare to admit her own feelings.

She was certain that she had a slight liking for An Yu.

But she had her own things to do; she needed to go back and give her university education a perfect ending.

She had no formal education and was self-taught, but her limited perspective prevented her from fully developing her talent until her mentor gave her a helping hand, at which point her talent was fully discovered.

The other person almost changed her life, even though it was just a casual thing for her mentor.

She doesn't have many social interactions in her life, so she worries that a year can change too much, but An Yu has very few friends, which is another matter.

"...Could you tone down your smile a little? You seem quite pleased with it."

An Yu's lips twitched, even though he had once fantasized that he was the only friend he had.

But this is ultimately just a fantasy. If your best friend really only had you as a friend, an ordinary person couldn't handle it; their body and mind would collapse.

"No, I'm just even more looking forward to our reunion a year from now. The threads of fate have become even stronger at this moment."

She composed herself, but the smile in her eyes was still somewhat undeniable.

I'm sorry, but she was really happy. She was so lucky to have encountered such a perfect situation.

Why is it almost perfect?

If An Yu has no friends, it would be best if she were an orphan, helpless and lost about the future, without even a place to live.

This is perfect!

But how could anyone possibly encounter someone like that?

Chapter 49: Forty-Nine, do you like looking at the stars?

"It's normal to have a possessive desire for beautiful things, but you should at least try to hide it, Great Magician, otherwise it will give me the feeling that you are a pervert."

Although An Yu already felt that Wilvi was a pervert, he probably had this thought from the moment he woke up with the other person's finger in his mouth.

However, he could understand, since there are always a few geniuses in the world.

Vervi did not refute this, saying that by ordinary standards, she was not exactly a good person.

During their subsequent conversation, Wilvi gained a better understanding of An Yu's interpersonal relationships; well, to put it simply... they were quite obvious.

Moreover, because of her terrible interpersonal relationships, Wilvi actually thought An Yu's current situation was normal.

Unfortunately, she won't stay here forever.

With her fingers gently stroking An Yu's forehead, Wilvi remained quiet for a moment.

Will you stay here all day?

Come to think of it, it seems there weren't many other reasons; Virvi said those words simply because she genuinely considered An Yu a friend.

"Probably not, after all, Sister Mei told me today that there's some work in the lab that needs my help. But if you're scared to be alone, Great Magician... well, I can come over and keep you company tonight."

Hospitals offer accommodation at very low prices, and you can also find part-time work there, although the wages aren't very high. But it's worth considering if you're struggling financially.

Of course, An Yu had never done this job before; she had only heard about it from others.

Le, will she be afraid?

For some reason, Wilvi lowered her head and nodded slightly.

An Yu: ...

"It was a bit unexpected, but it's also normal. Everyone has things they like and things they're afraid of. Loneliness has this charm, making most people hate it while secretly rejoicing in a few."

Loneliness, An Yu was used to this feeling. Before he transmigrated, he lived alone for a long time, and because of the pandemic, he was almost completely isolated from the world except when he needed to resupply.

This is the countryside, but he still has the old lady across the street who brings him boiled corn and steamed buns from time to time.

"Although I am rather introverted, I hate being alone. Being alone is very boring. Even if you use games to numb yourself, you will still have difficulty falling asleep when you are alone at night."

"By the way, Great Magician, do you like the starry sky?"

When Wilvi heard her own form of address, she was slightly surprised, thinking that An Yu was about to unleash her talkative side again.

I didn't expect it to stop so quickly.

"I guess you could say I like it."

Unfortunately, Vilvi doesn't have much of a romantic flair either; at least not right now. Her surprises are more of a simple emotional fluctuation than a genuine emotional connection.

You can't expect an autistic person to have a lot of emotional expression skills, even if she has a good ability to self-hypnotize.

"That's even more of a coincidence. I also love the starry sky. Every time I look at the night sky, I wonder if my loved ones who have gone to another world will really turn into stars to protect me?"

"When I think about this, I always feel motivated. If they are really protecting me, I can't let them down."

"Although science has proven that most stars are distant stars, the sun in our eyes is just a not-so-bright star in the eyes of people on other planets."

"But the distance of time and space always inspires endless imagination, just like science fiction, aliens, Cthulhu, and fantasy worlds."

"Just like time travel, can humans really travel through the universe?"

"The universe is as vast as smoke. The solar system, the Milky Way, and barred spiral galaxies occupy less than one ten-thousandth of the universe. Is time travel a replacement of the universe or a transfer of space?"

"Perhaps, some light-years away, there is a galaxy where Ultraman is fighting monsters again, who knows?"

"By the way, great magician, do you believe in time travel?"

Listening until the other person called her name again, Velvi nodded. She believed in time travel as much as she believed in numbers.

Time travel exists. Although some people talk about the irreversibility of time, Vilvi disagrees.

“I believe it too.” An Yu’s interest grew even stronger when he said this, because he himself was a living example.

"When I was a child, I observed that when the fan was running at a certain speed, the blades seemed to be rotating in reverse. Although I later poked them with chopsticks and my arm hurt for a long time."

"In the end, I told my teacher about this discovery, but my teacher told me that it was not the fan blades that were reversed, but the afterimage left behind that made me misjudge, just like a person trapped in memories."

"Although it sounds unromantic, it's actually quite reasonable."

An Yu was devastated for a long time, her memories were silent, and the lingering shadows left by the fan blades were also part of that.

"But later I realized that teachers are not omnipotent, and sticking to the old ways only limited my understanding to the existing human sphere."

"Just like when I was a child, I was confined to the cognitive circles of my parents and teachers, so I developed my current personality at a very young age."

“I admire those who are independent and go their own way, because that’s how I got here, just like Sister Mei. Although her work experience was terrible, and she was always ostracized and disapproved of by others, Sister Mei rarely complained about such things.”

"She is a true powerhouse."

Vivi kept listening. An Yu wasn't a genius, perhaps?

But An Yu must be one of the most thoughtful children.

"You too, I rarely see you unhappy, and you're on the path you've chosen."

An Yu is also a strong person. He is too optimistic. Many things that others see as miracles are just possibilities to him.

"However, I wasn't this confident before."

Meeting Wilvi's questioning gaze, An Yu was not surprised and continued to patiently explain.

“In the country I lived in before, being independent was not something to be praised. Teachers didn’t like a child with unusual ideas, and my academic performance was just on the edge of being excellent, not a top student.”

"My personality didn't bring me any friends, but my appearance did bring me some superficial friends, and we lost touch after that."

"So I've always doubted myself."

“Until recently, fate gave me the greatest support, and from that moment on, my mindset completely changed.”

"I have no need to doubt or hesitate, because fate has already given me the answer: I am not wrong."

"I've broken out of that mold. Time can be reversed, time travel is real, and fantasy may just be a reflection of another world."

"Perhaps, there really is an Ultraman fighting monsters again, just like there really is a substance called Honkai in this world that cannot be explained by common sense."

Chapter 50: Fifty, please don't hate me!

Even without the cheat code of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, An Yu's confidence would not diminish in the slightest, because fate was already on his side.

Having doubted himself for so long, he is now incredibly confident, to the point of being overflowing with confidence.

"Many people expect miracles, yet they don't believe in them."

"But in my eyes, fantasy becomes reality, and miracles happen everywhere in life. So I not only believe in miracles, but I am also very sure of one thing: I will become the greatest miracle in the future."

The collapse was destined to wreak havoc because the previous civilization was heading towards destruction. Why did it perish? An Yu had no interest in knowing the reason for its demise, because the butterfly's wings had already been flapped, destined to stir up huge waves in the future.

He not only wants to save the world, but he also wants to resolve all his past doubts. He will not grow according to other people's plans, and he does not want to be confined to other people's cognitive circles.

At the same time, he looks forward to the future and values ​​the present.

A light rain began to fall from the sky, pattering softly, and the air felt cooler through the window.

"Why aren't you saying anything, Great Magician?"

"Isn't it surprising that I used to be just a withdrawn and introverted child?"

Actually, An Yu wasn't exactly introverted before, but because of his withdrawn nature, he made many wrong judgments over time.

Wilvi cupped An Yu's face in her hands, her eyes filled with a mixture of joy and bewilderment. Was she surprised? It was truly unexpected.

How could this be so exactly what I wanted?

But she was no longer afraid. An Yu would not forget her, because a solitary person will always remember their first friend.

"I'm starting to regret my previous decision."

He hugged An Yu intimately, pressing his forehead against hers despite her somewhat resistant expression.

"Think more, reflect more, and be willing to take action."

"An Yu, perhaps we were destined to meet."

Unfortunately, An Yu's interests and hobbies are somewhat different from hers.

But it doesn't matter, because An Yu will definitely understand everything about her; they are on the same side.

Why confine ourselves to the existing circle of human cognition? Step outside, and that's our world. There is absolutely no one like her, Virvi, among those who follow the rules.
