Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

This kind of garbage and trash only needs a tiny bit of light and a splash of water; even a fraction of the resources would be enough to make us grateful.

However, even such a girl, even a girl who couldn't truly participate in the story, even a girl who, like trash, only caused important resources to fall through, still has people she absolutely cannot forget, people she absolutely cannot lose.

Even without skills, without that much time spent together, and without knowing anything about what the future might hold, he would never mistake that boy.

The source of this power is so strong that just looking at it makes you want to cry; only one person in the world possesses it.

The hands that were gripping her collar loosened without her realizing it. As a top genius, Vervi seemed to have forgotten even her thoughts. Her pale lips opened silently as she stared blankly at the sky. Only her hands were still unconsciously raised, one clenching and the other clenching, her fingers waving like a dazed person, instinctively trying to grasp the light that did not belong to her.

Even if it's as foolish as trying to catch the moon in the sea, we persist with the perseverance of the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains, trying again and again if it doesn't work the first time.

Because that person...

that person……

what……

what……

Even saying her name made her tremble slightly; her lips were sore, a pain radiating from her heart through her nerves; and tears welled up in her eyes, making the girl feel as if she might burst into tears at any moment, or that she was already crying like a complete idiot.

—It's Jiangcheng!!!

They are the kind of people I will always remember clearly, no matter how much time has passed!

No matter what happens, she will never be forgotten!

Even if they die, are crushed into mincemeat, or are slowly eroded into liquid by Honkai energy, they will always care about the person more than they care about themselves!

Even if the person named Wilvi is about to die, the first and only thing she will do will never be to protect herself, but to do everything in her power to prove that this thing is harmless to Jiangcheng and to protect Jiangcheng.

Even if the time of death were to change to the next second, and she were to die in the next second, the only name that would appear in the girl's heart would be Jiang Cheng.

Its importance far surpasses that of myself; even dignity, shame, morality, and life cannot compare to Jiangcheng.

Every smile, every gesture, his somewhat perverse fetishes, his unique fondness for buttocks, the gentleness hidden beneath his indifference, his clear act of kindness towards others yet with the precision of a professional psychologist, and beneath all these elements lies the ordinary, unremarkable boy.

It was a feeling from the heart, the throbbing you could feel when you pressed your fingers against your chest, the only meaning in this meaningless existence.

Yes……

is it you?

Are you still alive? Are you still in this world?

……

The lips opened and closed silently, along with the hands that were making a meaningless attempt to catch the moon's reflection in the water, bending and grasping the fingertips that were trying to grab a shooting star, together creating a scene that looked like a fool trying to attract attention.

It has already reached a realm that cannot be touched by description. I'm afraid even the most talented creator in the world could not write down everything that flashed through my mind at this moment.

Whether it's longing, love, or joy, countless emotions gather in the heart, creating a terrifying involution that turns into a chaotic melting pot where every intense emotion wants to be revealed.

Love is insufficient to explain longing, and longing cannot prove joy, while joy is even simpler and can appear in any scene and occasion in the world.

It's not enough, nor is it sufficient. For a talented and exceptionally gifted young woman, expressing herself with any emotion as the dominant force would be inadequate.

Clearly, each of these emotions was a seed that had been suppressed in the heart, rising from the thick soil, a fiery passion like the sun. Yet, because of their own infighting and mutual sabotage, they couldn't utter a single word, unable to express their intense feelings with any words. In the end, what came out of those delicate lips was an exclamation that defied common sense.

"Alicia... did I really kill you after all?"

……

At first glance, the fairy didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. She just kept smiling, looking forward to a fairytale-like story unfolding before her eyes, preparing for the prelude to the prince and princess's reunion.

Until the girl's voice reached my ears in a way that was impossible to deceive myself, until the resentment that filled the air seemed to blot out the sky.

Velvi...

It seems the person expressing the lament isn't the one named Jiang Cheng.

……

"Eh……"

"Eh?"

……

199. Alicia isn't a pervert.

"Eh ...

"Shouldn't you express your joy, your longing, and wish you could jump out of here immediately to find that missing boy?"

"This should be the prelude to the climax of the fairy tale, so why suddenly insert a messy person who has already started to give up?"

"What terrible impression did I leave on you in the other world?!"

……

"Is it bad?"

Is there something wrong with it?

Wilvi simply stood there calmly, casually packing her luggage using the remote control device. Even her gaze remained unchanged, her only expression from beginning to end being disdain.

“Weren’t we all here after we died? Even your essence as memory entities, isn’t it also a grave left by the dead?”

"Since Jiang Cheng seems to have come here as well, it's obvious that he's also... in trouble. After all, based on Alicia's appearance in my world, I could guess that something must have happened to Jiang Cheng the moment I saw her."

"Although this is the worst-case scenario, and it shouldn't even be possible, I've already left behind enough things, and the preparations have taken most things into account. But since I've chosen to entrust this to Alicia, I guess this is just me asking for trouble."

"After I see him, I will apologize properly. Let's just say that I'll be punished by lying in bed for two or three months based on my current physical condition."

The girl had already set the minimum standard for punishment for herself, moving from simple ○ fun play to real interrogation.

Although those punishment tools are in another world and can be considered lost, it wouldn't take much time to make them. They could also be used as a standard based on the physical condition that has improved since coming to this world, so as to avoid a whipping that doesn't even cause redness or swelling.

Of all the options, M is still the most suitable and best suited to the young man. It wouldn't be good to lose this powerful weapon.

This mistake cannot go unpunished without appropriate punishment, and even the boy himself has no right to intervene or stop it.

It was the sin he had committed against himself. Even after witnessing Alicia disappoint the girl for several years, he still did the same stupid thing—choosing to entrust the girl with his life after his death simply because of his feelings for that fairy, choosing the most unreliable person.

This level of error would be enough to send her straight into the G realm. If she did something so foolish and hurt the boy without being punished, the girl's remorse would burn her to death.

Although Jiang Cheng's compatibility was cultivated by himself, he transformed from an ordinary boy with some special hobbies into a pervert.

……

——I can’t refute it.

The girl's slender fingertips gently poked her soft cheek. The first poke was just a reminder, but the second poke began its assault. There was no restraint in her strength, so much so that her flawless skin was pressed down rather roughly, and her beautiful, slightly pinkish white skin became somewhat red and swollen.

Her head was tilted slightly to the side, and her seemingly innocent eyes blinked, merely to conceal the overwhelming sense of regret within her.

Having received a little bit of information from another world, the fairy, who should have been pure and innocent, has already begun to turn into something impure.

First, he acted as a wicked riddle-maker, and then he pretended to hide his emotions, though there was nothing he could do about it.

The slight empathy I had just experienced was then infected by the information from another version of myself. The emotions etched deep within my body, though completely incomparable to those of the other boy, were indeed the feelings that 'I' truly felt from the bottom of my heart, that I should feel guilty towards Wilvie.

She felt like slapping herself... no, she felt like lying on the ground and letting Velvet beat her up. It wasn't just her; it wasn't enough for her to be punished alone as 'Alicea'.

Along with his counterpart in another world, he should also be subjected to severe beatings until he learns what human communication is.

I don't want to see Wilvi so sad. A child like her deserves happiness and to receive her own love.

If you don't want her to be even more upset, you absolutely cannot say those fragmented pieces of information, those bits and pieces of emotion and imagery that have been captured. Not only will you not be able to piece together the original events, but you might also end up in a dead end of some messy thoughts.

But "Memory" Ellie felt that this concealment had become meaningless, and that it was just a presumptuous idea from the beginning.

Because Alicia was never important to Velvi, all her love, hate, and anger seemed to be just a matter of loving her because of her.

The fairy has realized how foolish it was to make previous guesses and presumptuously judge the relationship between itself in another world and the Spiral Hero, and how ridiculous it was to have fantasized about things built on a castle in the air.

just now.

Right now.

Just after that shooting star streaked across the sky, I recovered from my pent-up anger, and the joy and anticipation churning inside me almost formed a tsunami.

Even though they hadn't even seen the boy's face yet, just sensing a little bit of him was enough to cause such a big change in their emotions.

"what……"

"Your eyes,"

"Finally...finally it's lit up?"

……

The girl should have been dull and lifeless, like a small world that had lost its sun, shrouded in utter darkness. Her eyes, devoid of any luster or expression, were now illuminated by a faint glimmer of light—a glimmer that even the shooting star that had just been reflected in her pupils could not compare to.

Hope has returned once again.

Because I also felt the spirit of youth in this world.

The only meaning of life, the only meaning of existence, everything revolves around the young Vivi, and even her hopes are only linked to that person.

There's no longer any need to hide anything. Now that we've confirmed there might still be hope, going to the Riddler at this point would only make us the villains who prevent the story from reaching a happy ending.

Only after anger and arrogance were banished and reason returned did the things that had been unintentionally overlooked earlier come back to the girl's mind.

"and many more……"

"Leaving aside my Alicia, why did you realize Jiang Cheng's power before me? Don't tell me you saw it; this kind of abstract, condensed energy cannot be seen with the naked eye!!"

……

what?

So that's the problem?

Do people in love all have such strange thoughts?
