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

Alicia slowly shook her head, pointing out a mistake in her words.

How did everyone come to have a rift with Ellie?

They've always gotten along very well!

"Since you say you won't lie to beautiful... beautiful girls, then what do those two words in parentheses after Yingjie represent? For example, the class monitor's life?"

Mei stumbled a little when she said the first sentence, and frowned slightly; after all, she didn't have that thick skin.

As for those who call themselves "beautiful girls" or something...

Although I sometimes say silly things when I'm excitedly reading comics in places where no one is watching, that was when I was a very young child.

"Let it be engraved, which also encompasses a certain aspect of Yingjie's qualities."

"What about yourself?"

"what?"

"I mean, what is your own mark?"

"Hmm... It's not good to know the answer beforehand, Mei."

Upon hearing this, Alicia glanced at Luo Mo beside her, then slowly spoke, her eyes lingering on Mei with a constant light in them.

"Although I originally planned to tell you directly, unfortunately, Luo Mo just told me not long ago to keep it a secret and give everyone a surprise at the right time."

She paused, drawing Mei's gaze unconsciously to her eyes, where she saw the genuine emotion in them and a clear, gentle smile.

"So, how about we guess? Oh, I'll be so happy if you guess the first one correctly!"

She playfully added the last sentence, her eyes seemingly fixed solely on Mei.

Mei felt a sudden unease and averted her gaze, avoiding the other person's fiery and alluring eyes, as if something inside her had been ignited.

She seemed to understand Kiana's concerns; the opponent's offensive... was indeed quite fierce.

Kiana's face was full of unhappiness. She looked at the two of them, crossed her arms, and assessed the current situation.

Was she cheated on?

It seems there isn't, but it could be described as...like green.

But I'm so annoyed.

What to do? Mei asks a question, and the other person gives her a blatant eye attack. How annoying!

"...Okay, I understand. I'll find the answer myself."

After regaining her composure, Mei nodded slightly and gave her answer.

"Oh? Kiana, what are you thinking about over there? Tell me~"

Alicia looked at the white-haired girl with a curious expression, as if she were a victorious figure making a show of defiance.

But she really didn't mean it that way; she also really likes Kiana!

But... at most, the horns on Mei's head always caught her eye; she really didn't have any other thoughts.

Whenever Kiana expresses her unhappiness, she can smoothly reply, "I'm happy that Kiana guessed the first one too."

Wait a minute, does this make me sound like a scumbag woman?

Alicia was still pondering the upcoming conversation and the other person's reaction.

"Hmph—I'm wondering...why do you guys have a team name like the Thirteen Heroes Who Chase Fire?"

Kiana gave a nasal snort and met the other person's gaze.

"Uh, what's so strange about that?"

Alicia asked curiously, as this puzzled her a bit.

"Heh—it's because you have a team in name that you've gathered your fighting strength and that sense of unity."

Mei cast a surprised glance at Kiana, not expecting her to have such insight.

Although it's something everyone understands, Kiana's explanation is clearer.

"Although there are some inaccuracies, it did generally work."

Alicia nodded, without denying it.

The organization she tried so hard to establish also had this purpose in mind, but... it came too quickly and didn't get a chance to be used.

By the time she managed to keep the organization afloat, it was already beyond saving.

Instead, it allowed the thirteen individuals to be remembered by posterity as a whole.

How should I put it? It's somewhat ironic, isn't it? Things that were not recognized by anyone at the time are now widely believed by people in later generations.

The times imposed limitations on her, but time has affirmed her.

"Hmm, that's right. Only by forming the same organization can you stop coming to see Mei all the time, and it will also strengthen the bond between Mei and me."

Kiana put her mind to work and said firmly.

This was her answer!
