Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

Humble is fine too.

Showing off is fine, whatever.

Even being stupid is acceptable.

To communicate with a partner in a way that harms others.

It's absolutely ridiculous for lovers!

however……

His wishful thinking that the two of them could have a proper discussion to limit this behavior that harmed both of them did not happen.

Instead, the girl's rosy lips curled up slightly, and her dreamy, amusement park-like eyes blinked.

"Don't worry~"

I don't mean to do anything to bother you.

"because……"

Her full, jade-like body suddenly bent down, revealing her smooth, straight back, and her fingers, still covered by gloves that were almost the only fabric, gently touched the ground that flowed like a river.

Even the head, bearing the world's most exquisite beauty, bowed without any dignity, its arms, legs, breasts, and forehead touching the ground simultaneously.

"I just want to perform a full-length ○-style kneeling ceremony~?"

……

The dreamlike light still sings of beauty, and the moon, no longer hanging alone in the sky, provides a perfect backdrop for the stage, almost like a mirror, reflecting the performance in the primordial realm.

After more than a decade of silence, the flawless young girl once again stepped onto the stage, displaying her pure beauty for the first time without any concealment.

It's no longer a smile for everyone.

It is no longer about responding to the expectations of others.

He will no longer stand high on the stage, rejoicing with the countless people below who believe in him.

This time, the flawless girl's smile was shown only for one person, and the moving, dreamlike performance was danced only for one person.

Without worrying about any consequences or anything else, the power of self is displayed without hesitation, allowing the pink meteor to pierce the brilliant starry sky.

The boy's dark blue eyes no longer held any trace of the town's vitality; they seemed to wander through space, only to accidentally fall into a flawless paradise with Alicia.

Only the gentle breeze remains unchanged, its origin and composition unknown, yet it continues to stir the hair, playing its own melody.

The harmonious sounds of the piano seemed to transcend time and space, drifting through a thin veil as soft whispers emanated, while tiny bubbles floated and sank in the light.

The dazzling stars in the sky drifted and swayed, telling their own story of beauty.

That is the second noblest power in this flawed world.

The Herald bearing the original name.

—Origin.

Without the need for ascension or disordered development, this power, which surpasses all ordinary Herrschers, is inherently the limit that any individual life form called a Herrscher can reach.

If one were to sacrifice oneself, even the threads of fate that control all things in the world and create predetermined outcomes would be torn apart and completely obliterated.

Even the Herrscher of the Void, who has undergone tremendous enhancement, appears insignificant in the face of this power. Countless of her kind are powerless in the face of this overwhelming power, just as they are powerless against humans.

And at this moment, this beauty that belongs only to one person, and the authority that belongs only to Origin, reappears once again.

Just for...

To conduct on a specific individual.

—All the warriors, please step down.

……

This should have been Wilvi's strongest secret technique, which could perfectly solve any problem no matter when it was used, and even when there was no problem, it was enough to stir Jiang Cheng's heart simply as a form of fun.

As long as it is used when needed, no matter how stubborn or vehemently the boy refuses, his body will betray him.

In the hands of Alicia, the recognized successor and the despicable substitute, her skills, already honed to perfection and displaying an attitude completely different from that girl's inferiority complex, now belonged to a lively and beautiful young woman, and even surpassed the level of Velvet.

……

……

Her deep blue eyes, shimmering with tiny starlight, reflected her flawless white skin, as smooth as jade after a hot spring bath. Her straight back was only partially concealed by a few strands of long hair, which exuded a pleasant fragrance. Under the bright moonlight hanging alone in the sky, she appeared strangely pale.

It was a perfect figure that even the world's most demanding critics could not find fault with.

That was simply the embodiment of the word "perfect" truly coming into being.

The highest design for beauty in human history, the ultimate embodiment of the beauty of the human body.

Her plump, delicate body could probably not be compared to the roundness of even the most perfect apple. It had a slight blush of health and youth, and because it had been sitting for a while, you could even see wisps of heat rising in the air.

Her delicate ankles were pressed against warm, soft flesh, and her rounded toes showed slight twitches from the intense emotions she was experiencing.

Only her right foot, which was also pressed down, still had a few pieces of fabric embellishing it; the spotless white socks were pulled together, supporting her jade-like buttocks.

—I saw something that would shock anyone.

In my memory, there was that girl who should have been high on the stage, a lively smile on her lips, whose succubus-like charm had captivated everyone...

—The entire ○ warrior is kneeling before him.

There was no extra fabric added to her body, only small hearts that seemed to be supporting the hem of her skirt, like a bridesmaid at a wedding, gently floating by her side, occasionally fluttering like angelic white wings.

With her shapely hips and full thighs, slender waist and jade-like back, perhaps due to the tension from what had just happened, her slender shoulders and neck, glistening with sweat, appeared even more radiant and three-dimensional, shimmering with light. All the beauty of a young girl was on full display.

Just as Alicia had said, faint traces of bright red finger marks remained on her snow-white, smooth skin, which exuded a pleasant fragrance.

This is simply...

—Something's really wrong!

Even though he and Alicia had already done things that only lovers could do.

Even if the two were lovers, long ago, childhood sweethearts who had never been apart since they met when they were five years old.

This behavior, this technique that seems to have been learned from the Far East, is simply too much.

This level of humble apology would be absolutely impossible even in Asia, where women are generally considered gentle and demure.

It's impossible in the Far East; at most, you'd see it in some very inappropriate videos.

No matter how intense the emotions or how deep the guilt, such a thing should never happen between equal lovers.

Why was Alicia's guilt so profound? Why did she do something that trampled all dignity and face underfoot? These thoughts no longer held any place in the boy's churning mind.

Now there is something more important, more crucial, and even enough to make a teenager doubt himself and whether his past was that of a normal person.

Why……

—Will it feel familiar?

……

Why does it feel familiar?

Why do I feel so familiar with this kind of thing?

Why does it feel so familiar to me when Alicia acts so humbly?

It wasn't shock, it wasn't surprise.

It's a deep sense of familiarity, a daily routine that doesn't stir up even the slightest emotion within.

It was as if he had witnessed the same thing happen many times before, and had seen the girl appear before him in such a humble manner many times before.

This cannot be explained by reasons such as losing emotions due to the Honkai after becoming a Herrscher, thus becoming unable to reflect.

On the surface, the body's memories are bound by suppressed emotions, which is why even seeing a swimming pool from decades ago evokes a sense of familiarity and nostalgia.

Even the slightest interaction with a young girl, bordering on perverted behavior, can evoke strong emotions within him.

At this moment, however, the still-beating heart conveyed not a single emotion, and the ocean, which contained countless waves, did not stir up the slightest ripple; everything was as calm as any ordinary day.

He showed no change whatsoever because of the girl's humble attitude; there was no guilt, no sadness, and not even a sense of helplessness.

All of this was strange, as if this matter, like all the beautiful, blissful memories with Alicia, had been tightly sealed away.

Incomprehensible.

Can't understand.

I don't want to understand.

The boy, who has theoretically lost all emotion and is indifferent to causing chaos and harming humanity, and who doesn't feel sad watching ordinary people die, has encountered something he doesn't want to get involved in at all for the first time.

Previously, Alicia's denial of memories was at most a denial of being part of Jiangcheng; the difference in experiences was merely a slight difference and had nothing to do with the essence of her personality.

Even if all those bad memories with Alicia were just fabrications imposed by the Collapse, at most it would mean that we need to be more discerning about the girl's behavior and no longer consider her just an ordinary relative as we once did.

The essence of Jiangcheng remains unchanged.

He was still the same person who seemed somewhat gentle, possessed a little talent, but was actually just an ordinary, selfish, ordinary person.

And now...

what……

Looking at the girl who had completely trampled her dignity underfoot, looking at the girl who, even after being resurrected and falling into grief upon their first meeting, knelt in her own tears, had never been as humble as she was now.

For the first time, Jiang Cheng suspected that his altered memories might not be limited to his unpleasant past with Alicia and the ignored conversations.

Is there a possibility?

Even his own gentleness was an imposed falsehood.

In reality, I am a very sadistic and perverted person.

In reality, he's the big bad guy who uses love to hurt others.

—It is oneself.
