Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

They have already hurt others for their own selfish desires, and have made too many mistakes and destroyed too much happiness, leading to a situation that is difficult to reverse.

So……

Going even further with shamelessness doesn't seem like an impossible feat.

Anyway, I'm already a Herrscher.

—It's normal for a corrupted life form to do terrible things, right?

"You can pinch my body, you can hurt me as you please, whatever you want, as rough as you want, is fine~"

"As long as I can prove my love for you, as long as I can prove my will, as long as I can prove that this feeling is definitely not some bubble in the sunlight~?"

"A Herrscher's body is very resilient; even the worst injuries won't have a real impact. Don't worry about me not being able to handle it~?"

"Didn't I quickly recover from those previous behaviors?"

"I can't even see your mark when you wear a swimsuit anymore~"

what……

what……

what……

They've already said such firm words.

Is there any point in rejecting it?

Despite the strange emotions churning within, and despite the sense that waves were gathering beneath the seemingly calm sea, as if they might break through the surface at any moment and form a massive vortex connecting heaven and earth.

Jiang Cheng was no longer able to make any vetoes, not even a single word of refusal.

At least when I look into those soft, pink eyes filled with love.

At least when you see those gently shimmering wisps of misty vapor.

All the words that were on the tip of his tongue were forcibly swallowed back; even when he opened his mouth, the characters melted by his burning love could not be uttered.

There is really no reason to deny Alicia's ideas now, or to find structural errors and loopholes in her words.

It's impossible that this seemingly perfect girl in my memory would willingly abandon her purity and morality just to deceive one person.

impossible.

Even the sun rising in the west is more likely than this.

Rather than believe that, Jiang Cheng would rather believe that the Honkai was actually an embrace of humanity, rather than a complete disaster designed to destroy the world.

Because both things are equally impossible, and the latter is even more likely than the former.

That can't possibly be fake, right?

A young girl would never lie.

In his memory, there was indeed someone who would always hold his hand, pleading with eyes full of inferiority and tenderness for more brutal behavior.

That is the opposite of sadness: the happiness of being saved by others, the happiness of embracing your true love and sharing your inner feelings.

Although not as clear as the scenes that were ignored in my memory, they definitely exist clearly in my memory, even if they are just a shadow.

Yes.

Someone said that, someone must have said that.

'You can pinch my body, you can hurt me as you please, whatever you want, as rough as you want...'

The blurry image in my memory is still vivid in my mind. No matter how blurry it is, no matter how much I try to cover it up, I cannot deny the feelings that exist in my heart.

It's definitely not fake.

It's definitely not wishful thinking.

Such self-deprecating remarks, showing complete indifference towards oneself, must have been made by someone in the past.

and so……

Is that shadow Alicia?

Is the girl who has always been by his side Alicia?

In this world, it seems that only Alicia has a reason to be so close to me, a reason to be willing to embrace me like this.

what……

How could you forget something so important?

……

Alicia has already given a complete answer.

This was explained with a logically consistent reason.

Having been deprived and forced to lose a great deal of emotion, the boy could no longer distinguish subtle differences. He could only analyze the general emotions emanating from the girl through the feelings in his heart and the rhythm of her heartbeat.

Now that they knew that Alicia's feelings were indeed guilt, they didn't believe that the girl could possibly utter any lies.

So there's one thing to do.

"--Need not."

Jiang Cheng gently tapped his chest with his finger, as if to transmit the sound of his heartbeat as evidence, just like the girl in front of him. His dark blue pupils shimmered with a gentle warmth that belonged to the past.

"If you ask me to be rough with you, then you must be rough with me in return. If you choose to refuse, if you choose not to, then your feelings at that time are the same feelings I have now."

"Using this method every time something happens is just too unfair. Even now, how could I possibly hurt you?"

what……

I forgave her just like that.

Shouldn't I say something?

I am not...

Have we already made so many mistakes?

……

They have clearly committed heinous acts.

There's clearly no need for any embellishment anymore.

They have lied to each other's faces countless times before, and even more shamelessly.

Ironically, it was in front of the boy for the first time, after making a mistake for the first time, that she received a response from him in person. An unprecedented and indescribable emotion overwhelmed Alicia in an instant.

That feeling far surpasses the feeling gained from doing things behind someone's back; the only thing to fight against is one's own heart.

As long as one can transcend one's own feelings and morals, how could the monster lurking in the shadows possibly suffer excessive harm?

Unlike other situations where, no matter how bad things get, one can only imagine the boy's dissatisfaction and resentment in their mind.

Until this moment.

Until this very second.

Until this moment.

Alicia finally received a response from the boy, but it was completely different from what she had imagined, and there was not even the slightest bit of a response.

Even though she knew that Jiang Cheng would never blame her no matter what.

Even knowing that Jiang Cheng wouldn't hurt her despite all the mistakes she had made, she still felt that Jiang Cheng would never harm her.

Even though the blessing in the last weapon Jiang Cheng left behind had clearly expressed all his feelings and wishes.

Even without witnessing it firsthand, the girl couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

I hope that I will receive the punishment I deserve.

however……

—In the end, all of this is just wishful thinking.

"Resurrection is something that only exists in light novels. In reality, no one can guarantee that there won't be any special problems."

"Even with my... intelligence, which shouldn't be so ordinary in my memory, I simply can't see through the so-called resurrection."

"If I were to blame you in this way, it would be far too shameless."

Looking at the boy's slightly upturned lips and the gentle smile in his curved eyebrows, his dark eyes, like the starry night sky, met those bright pink eyes, as if he were pressing down all his trust on them.

"Don't worry, I will absolutely trust you. Even if no one else trusts you, I will still give you my absolute trust."

……

"Isn't this the real cheating?"

"Even in Jiangcheng, you can't keep being so willful."

"If someone really did something wrong, what if they can get away with it and then make the same mistake again?"

Alicia was too afraid to lift her head, too afraid to look directly into those eyes that, even though they had changed color, were still as burning as she remembered.

don't want……

Don't continue to forgive.

At least give me some punishment.

They had clearly already deliberately mentioned some of the wrong things they had done.

The girl, who could commit sins without a care in the world, was unable to face the boy's forgiveness, unable to accept his tenderness.

The beauty emanating from Jiangcheng illuminated everything in the world like the sun, so much so that all the ugliness and filth within the girl herself had no place for darkness to linger under the warm sunlight.

The girl, who had lost her innocence, could only feel inferiority from the bottom of her heart when faced with a boy who remained as pure as before after his resurrection.

Like a sharp knife, like sunlight that is too painful.

It stung this ugly mentality.

It scorched this filthy soul.

The mere thought of getting close is terrifying.
