Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

Even the drinks he held in his hands seemed unreal. His fingers, which had once been able to wield swords and achieve the highest honor of being granted the highest honor, could not even hold a tin can weighing a few hundred grams. His steps became unsteady, everything in his vision began to spin, and his dizzy head felt as if he was about to faint on the spot at any moment.

This is fine too.

If I could just die like this.

Then I won't have to see Jiang Cheng's disappointed look.

Something called mindset has completely collapsed. Like that girl, Velvi, the only girl in the world who witnessed her own most wretched side lost the meaning of living. She could even abandon life itself.

If Jiang Cheng says anything offensive, just face the wall next to you.

The girl made up her mind in her heart.

His pupils were fixed on the sharp angles that stood out from the narrow gap next door.

Compared to the sun disappearing before one's eyes and being shrouded in endless shadows again, dying before the night arrives is a more understandable thing.

……

thump—

thump—

dong dong dong-

It's the heart beating.

Normally, these sounds, which are hidden in everyday life and difficult to hear even when you are still and listening carefully without placing your hand on your chest, are so clear at this moment, as if they were the tolling of a bell announcing the approach of death, the footsteps of the Grim Reaper.

Perhaps it was because of the overwhelming despair that both body and soul hit rock bottom. The most unbearable thing about the death penalty is watching the time of decapitation approach step by step. The thoughts in one's mind become extremely chaotic. Even if one has the willpower to stop it, one is powerless and can only watch one's thoughts run wild.

It's hard to imagine what kind of vile words the boy would use to express them.

Would you just say you hate it?

Would you just say it's disgusting?

Or is there even a tiny, insignificant, and purely speculative possibility that Jiang Cheng simply enjoys this kind of perverted, disgusting, and vulgar behavior?

If you can leave a deep impression in this way, then perhaps it can be considered a success.

what……

Yes.

Even a bad ending might have a chance to turn around.

Even dislike can turn into attachment and fascination.

Adolescent boys are in the prime of their lives, when hormones are surging, and they naturally have unrealistic fantasies about the opposite sex. Although this behavior completely disregards the etiquette we just mentioned, and even when they are rational, they still abandon it, the girl will not mind at all and will casually intend to become a part of the boy's fantasy, taking advantage of his vulnerability and trying her best to become the object of his obsession.

Despicable or not.

Methods aside.

Shamelessness is acceptable.

As long as the final result is achieved, isn't that enough?

As long as it leaves a mark in your heart.

That's my victory!!

however……

There was none of the expected look of disgust, surprise, or even a hint of infatuation from the boy. There wasn't even a gaze that seemed unable to look away from him. When he turned his head, he could only see a wisp of air.

"Don't worry, I didn't see it."

……

The boy seemed to have anticipated this, and his footsteps rang out without hesitation as he handed out the drink, accompanied by the calm, lingering sound.

When the girl, Shanshan, looked up belatedly, she could only see the boy who had handed her the drink standing outside the door, just like before, bathed in golden sunlight. The ends of his hair, occasionally blown by the wind, seemed to shimmer, and his upright posture showed no sign of the cowardice or evasion caused by his lie.

Not false.

Not a lie.

This is not meant to comfort.

The boy did not see anything related to the girl, or rather, he deliberately ensured that he would not see anything that would embarrass her.

Even when delivering the drinks, I turned my back to them to make sure my eyes wouldn't catch any detail in those pictures.

The outline of the edge represents an absolutely negative action. Since we are here to help, we must not add fuel to the fire. All the firefighters need to do is pour water.

As a top-notch mine-clearing expert, even when dealing with landmines like those of Velvi, he could accurately reject the whip she offered after the bomb disposal was completed, which was even spiked, and instead use his newly developed medical instrument that could treat most wounds within a minute.

Even if she says it's just an experiment with the equipment and a little punishment, the desire for the boy to give her a heavy dose of love, and the fact that she completely accepts this love even if it means harm and violence, are already clearly revealed.

Even though this could revolutionize medicine worldwide, the reason why the boy always refused Virvi's request for severe punishment was because he would be too badly hurt.

How could a boy possibly go to look at everything when Raiden Mei had specifically taken over the duties and was clearly not in good condition?

……

and so……

Was it all just me being silly?

what……

what……

what……

His purplish-red pupils had lost even more luster than before, and his fingers fell limply, almost smashing against the machine in front of him. But before that, a force from who knows where suddenly propelled him to slap his face hard.

Snapped--

The merciless attack, a form of self-punishment, further swelled the girl's already somewhat swollen right cheek.

Use force to force yourself to calm down, to force yourself out of self-pity, and to cool down from the feverish state of your brain.

We absolutely cannot waste any more of Jiangcheng's time. He's already urging us on. Even if we're going to let our minds wander, we should wait until the boy's matter is resolved.

Let's get this sorted out quickly.

There are still many places to visit.

Well……

It seems like this is the end.

She had already prepared everything, but he caught her red-handed, threatened her, and said—Miss Mei, you wouldn't want to be seen like this, would you?

It would have been the best choice to end it like this. If no one had seen it, she could have continued to maintain her pampered princess persona on dates.

Raiden Mei took a deep breath, her slender fingertips touching her right cheek, which she had deliberately slapped, and felt a strange sense of disappointment.

She could barely suppress the strawberry-red blush on her delicate, porcelain-like face and her strange emotions, and tried her best to maintain a normal appearance. She selected the most natural and relatively complete pictures from the photos and put them in her handbag, while the remaining unacceptable defective items were placed in a compartment on the other side.

She held the last, extremely few normal pictures that didn't contain any explicit content or strange poses in her hand, and as she turned, she jogged towards the door, using the wind to dispel the smell from her body.

"Jiang Chengjun, I am ready."

"I'm so sorry, I was spacing out for a moment."

……

179. Jiang Cheng: Am I the one with the problem?

Although the airflow generated at such a speed is almost meaningless, it can't even cool the body, let alone dispel the smell of the odor. It can't even keep the feverish mind from going straight.

The portable makeup mirror really showed that my face was a bit swollen and asymmetrical because I hadn't held back during the self-test when I was in a daze earlier.

At that time, I hadn't recovered much of my rationality, only a little bit. After being frightened by my own state, I was only focused on proving that this place was an illusion.

Well……

it hurts.

It's really strange. It seems I won't dare to face Jiang Cheng for a while. Even my face is swollen. I should have known better than to use so much force.

Raiden Mei bit her lower lip, lowered her head, shoved the photo in her hand over, and immediately turned her head to hurry away.

……

"Ah."

"Let's go."

Instead of immediately asking where they were going next, Jiang Cheng casually took the selected photos from the girl's hand, glanced at them, and put them in his pocket after confirming that there were no problems.

It's perfectly normal, with nothing messy or strange about it; it's just an ordinary photo like the ones that appear in light novels or anime.

Although so many photos were taken, obviously not just these few, it's normal to have some flaws given that this is the first time I've taken any.

For women who love beauty, it's only natural not to want others to see bad photos of them. Everyone has a flaw, except for Alicia, who looks good no matter how she's photographed.

Velvi and Alicia will also experience maintaining their most perfect image in front of themselves, even to the point that the fairy is willing to destroy their flawlessness.

Lies and deception are so commonplace that they are completely unnecessary to pay attention to unless they go too far.

Jiang Cheng only needed to ensure that the photos would not be lost due to any accidents, thus preventing any misunderstandings and avoiding those melodramatic stories from happening to him, before he could catch up with the girl's pace. For some reason, Raiden Mei walked subtly fast, almost like she was racing, as if she didn't want to face him.

Was it because you were worried about being found out that you were taking over the work of taking photos, but actually just because you wanted to find out the defective ones and throw them away?

Why are there always such sensitive girls around me when these are just trivial matters that don't need to be taken seriously?

I've encountered too many girls who are so sensitive, who care a lot about the smallest things, and who worry that they might be dissatisfied with the details.

In a sense, teenagers have also developed the ability to identify and fill in gaps in their knowledge.

It may not necessarily reach the level of becoming an entry.

It is also very useful in daily life.

The boy may not have thought that this thing was of any use in his daily life, but unfortunately, his stubbornness did not last long. On the first day he met Raiden Mei again, he realized the value of the Minesweeper ability.

Perhaps many of the girl's problems are fine if left unaddressed, but if too many problems accumulate, the third Honkai might happen just like before, where even though they are good friends, they still end up fighting.

At least until you encounter someone as oblivious as Kiana, this ability can resolve most mistakes in life caused by accumulated details.
