Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

?

???

That's too incredible.

Even after hearing the boy's words clearly the second time, every word was crystal clear, with absolutely no possibility of ambiguity.

Hard to understand.

Incomprehensible.

But the boy had already moved closer, his slightly warm breath touching the tip of her nose, and his dark eyes revealed a strange seriousness.

"Eh? Ee-e-e-" After a brief moment of confusion, Miss Velvet's face instantly contorted with terror, her arms crossed over her chest. "No! Absolutely! Absolutely not! This is the only thing I absolutely refuse to do!"

No, no, absolutely not!

For the first time, terror appeared on the girl's face!

Her pretty face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

Jiang Cheng actually used that fabric as a hat or something; even just imagining it...

Do not!

You can't even think about it!

Even a fleeting thought made Vivi feel dizzy, completely dizzy, and she wished she could bury herself in the ground.

If that scenario really happens

I don't think Jiang Cheng and I could possibly survive in this world.

Absolutely!

Definitely!

Escaping the city is pointless; these days, leaving the city takes less than an hour. Escaping the country is also useless; Spiral Workshop is already world-famous…

Even building a plane to the moon on the spot wouldn't work! We'd need to be at least at a level that leaves the solar system!

No, absolutely not!!

……

I am gradually approaching the point where I am falling into the same self-destructive emotional state as before, which is being guided by external forces.

The girl transformed her internal struggles into an outward outpouring of emotions.

Resentment, fear, and an inability to stop it. The fear that the boy would despise his suppressed thoughts turned into a rejection of defiant statements.

Compared to whether he would be disliked, the boy's reputation was indeed more important.

We must not let ourselves lead others astray.

Whether the boy knew or not, or whether he guessed wrong, it doesn't matter.

The girl herself was well aware of this.

That thing really was just a pair of panties.

It's not just some simple pair of panties.

It was found in the boy's clothes pile and on his bed, probably taken off less than two hours ago. Even among all the treasures, it undoubtedly belongs to the top category, at least ranking in the top three.

It not only has the scent of youth, but also the lingering warmth.

Without the boy's presence or access to him, the girl relied on this to fill the void of her intense, overwhelming feelings for him.

After experiencing even a little bit of love, one wants to give everything to the other person and stick to them 24/7, not caring how they are treated. This abnormal behavior is a way to suppress such thoughts.

If someone finds out that you're using that thing as a hat, you're truly doomed—both physically and psychologically.

Even Jiangcheng is not an option!

This is the only thing that absolutely cannot be done.

We absolutely cannot let the boy's reputation be ruined like this.

Strangely enough, after successfully taking the first step, the girl made a second, self-driven move in a very short time—to deny that Jiang Cheng had mistaken the fat man she had obtained through unknown means for a hat.

"The hat isn't like that at all; I'm just doing some weird things."

Rather than letting the boy be seen as a pervert.

It's better to just admit that I'm a pervert!

……

"I know."

A voice that was utterly calm and gentle.

In stark contrast to the incredible and unexpected events just now, it was as if, after jumping off a cliff, the moment of freefall had returned to flat land.

There was almost no embellishment or process in between, making people wonder if the cliff jump really happened, or if it was just an illusion or a figment of their imagination.

For a moment, it even made Wilvi doubt her own eardrums and her own vision.

Because of the unexpected incident where he inexplicably appeared somewhat naive and almost suffered social death, a shrewd glint suddenly flashed in Jiang Cheng's eyes—his lips curled up slightly, but his face showed disdain.

"you will not……"

"You think I don't even know this?"

"What kind of person am I in your eyes? Although I am indeed no different from a fool compared to you, it shouldn't be to this extent."

……

indeed.

Even the most naive and innocent girl wouldn't actually mistake these panties for a hat.

Unless it's the kind of complete perversion.

—That's not the kind of person a young man should be.

—The boy is definitely not a pervert.

Even if someone sometimes acts like they don't care too much about their image, they wouldn't be a pervert who treats their panties like work clothes, especially with two obvious holes in them. Such words could never be sincere.

41. Please be even ruder.

I was just too hasty, so hasty that I lost the ability to think.

In an instant, my emotions shifted from extreme depression and self-destructive tendencies to panic, fear, and shock—a transition more dramatic than falling off a thousand-meter cliff.

Or rather, my mood has been fluctuating dramatically throughout the day.

From initial resentment to the realization that even with no way out, one must move forward.

You get through it smoothly, even when you're extremely tense.

Then, a small thing causes a sudden collapse.

My emotions fluctuated wildly throughout the day, with no ordinary calm, even though such calm and normalcy is an unimaginable luxury for some patients who are self-loathing.

……

"It's because your situation suddenly reached level three. At other times, it would be a psychological drain that couldn't be resolved in a short period of time."

"This is definitely not normal. Don't worry, I won't do it again next time. Actually, I just wanted to use something stimulating to wake you up."

"If I don't take some drastic measures, my only two friends might run into trouble on my first day back at work."

"My social circle isn't actually that much wider than yours."

"Now we are no longer alone."

“I am standing right in front of you.”

……

what……

Is that so?

With the boy's detailed explanation, everything that had just happened became traceable, the emotional fluctuations were replaced by reason, and all the confusion was removed.

calm……

Too calm.

The perfect soundproofing didn't disturb anything in the building, not even a breeze. The only sound was the 'click-clack' of gears grinding together inside the spiral workshop, which was designed with a huge budget and was specially set up for its cool factor.

The emotional fluctuations just now existed only in the girl's mind and had no impact on the world.

No matter how turbulent the waves are, if you stand at the foot of the cliff and look from afar, you can only see a few waves crashing against the sea surface, splashing up icy water. If you get a little closer, you might be able to feel the water hitting your face.

That's all.

—Except for the boy in front of me.

He always helped to soothe the girl's emotions and worried about her when she was feeling down.

The girl clearly remembered the hint of worry and concern that appeared on the boy's face at that moment.

"I……"

"Sorry, I'm getting internally conflicted again..."

Unbeknownst to her, the boy in front of her had gotten too close, and she could even feel his hair scratching her forehead.

This was the first time she had such close contact with the boy while she was so fully conscious. There was no cold screen between them, and she wasn't observing him through a fine-tuning lens. The boy's scent clearly and completely entered Wilvi's nostrils.

Her fair face had never looked so rosy.

Shame, anger, helplessness, and a whole host of other emotions instantly filled Vivi's mind, causing her to close her eyes and not dare to look the boy in the eye.

The emotions that had been building up inside seemed to never disappear; they just kept piling up and accumulating until the moment when they could no longer be suppressed arrived.
