To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Kiana struggled and said.

"However, it's surprising that Theresa could say something like that."

Himeko released her hand from Kiana's and gazed at the objects on the stone platform inside.

Chapter 175 Who is that cute, clever, and adorable person in pink?

Mei and Bronya's previously heavy hearts brightened with joy at this sight, their shoulders even trembling slightly.

"As expected of Kiana, she effortlessly managed to make people laugh in what would otherwise be a serious situation."

Bronya glanced at the other person twice, then covered her mouth and chuckled.

"But thankfully, that was in another world. Now... Teacher Himeko is still alive here."

Mei sighed, realizing she hadn't wanted to miss Himeko's farewell performance...

Although saying it now has a curse-like connotation.

"...Sigh, it's not easy either~"

The Law Master sighed, a long time had passed, and looked at the birds and the bright sunshine outside the window before speaking leisurely.

Although she was traveling at the time, she learned some things from the old antiques... she didn't peek because she cared about the other person!

Therefore, everything Kiana experienced was confirmed in her heart.

It's hard to say the specifics of the conversation, but their experiences were exactly the same.

Her initial slight reservations about the other person vanished instantly. The other person had indeed carried a lot on their shoulders, and that brilliant will made her no longer doubt the outcome of the battle.

"..." Fu Hua glanced at the Herrscher of Knowledge, confirming some things in her heart.

The other person was more harmless than she thought; perhaps she was indeed the one in the wrong in the game…

Having witnessed her own funeral, Himeko can now give a clear picture of what it's like: a complex mix of emotions.

But if Theresa heard her subtle slander just now, she would probably jump up and hit herself again...

What a troublesome headmistress... and what adorable, troublesome students she has. How can she possibly feel at ease?

Himeko looked down at Kiana's smiling face, and inexplicably recalled what Instructor Ragnar had once said to her.

They represent infinite possibilities and are the initial seeds of a bright future.

She suddenly gained a deeper understanding of those words. The captain at the time must have thought the same way about her. Back then, she was young and naive, but she was also a seed. This is how the Valkyrie lineage is passed down from generation to generation.

She is very fortunate to be a torchbearer in this legacy.

Pass that will to protect what is good on to the next person.

...

As the daytime noise fades, the night is adorned with countless stars.

The evening breeze carries seeds of longing, and the flowers sing a silent song.

Raiden Mei, the student who had long since departed, came here in solitude to pay her respects to her teacher.

Flowers bloom in profusion beside the marble, and memories of people intertwine and embrace.

She silently bowed to the broken sword.

Unfortunately, she was unable to appear during the day.

"I'm sorry, Himeko-sensei."

She parted her lips slightly and whispered.

"I'm sorry to come see you alone at this time."

She carefully considered her words, wanting to say many things, but also feeling that some words, once spoken, would lose their original meaning.

Some words are best left unsaid.

But there were some things she chose to say.

"I have always kept your teachings in mind, which has made my choice even more firm."

"You taught me how to protect someone and how to live my life to the fullest."

"And that's what I did."

Mei took a deep breath, gazing silently at the desolate moonlight and the shattered greatsword in the darkness.

A short while later, they said their final goodbyes.

"Wouldn't it be better to prove it to you with actions rather than words?"

"Thank you, Mr. Himeko."

"It is my honor to be your student."
