Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

in fact……

From that time on.

I have already found my prince.

……

"Thank you for still thinking of helping me even now."

“I have seen everything you have done for me.”

"But Raiden Mei is such a useless person. She doesn't even understand the people who care about her the most."

"I'm so sorry, I actually need you to remind me that it's someone else's fault, but I'm making you bear the burden of these mistakes for me. I'm sorry..."

The boy could have easily used his current vulnerability, or even engaged in psychological manipulation, to leave the deepest impression on the boy, one that would never be forgotten, one that would never be forgotten. He could have easily created a loyal dog that would follow him around barking all day long.

This is the kind of result that someone who has put so much effort and energy into deserves. People who can't even grasp happiness that they can easily reach out to don't deserve to be treated as human beings.

Freedom is a luxury. If you give freedom to someone who is incapable, they will have to bear the consequences of many times, even dozens of times, the mistakes that others might make.

Just as he himself, due to ignorance and freedom, wandered aimlessly like a headless fly, foolishly causing all of his plans to vanish into thin air.

The boy would rather expend more energy, rather be disliked, or rather reveal the cruel truth than not become healthy.

Whether it was the seemingly cruel words or the act of taking the blame for myself, it was all just to prevent myself from blaming myself.

First, after the problem occurred, they tried their best to salvage it, willing to put in more effort and energy to risk pulling themselves out of trouble. After regaining their sense of self, they still cared about their own feelings, and were even the only person willing to express concern to them at the beginning.

All she had sacrificed was a little bit of shame, a little bit of time that was otherwise useless, and all the money she had on her, yet she received such dedicated help from this arrogant young man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

The boy had truly given it his all, to the point that he wouldn't mind using himself as a cushion in order to build up his self-confidence.

what……

Sorry...

I'm so sorry.

I've made you do so much useless work.

You've already tried so hard.

……

……

—Who told you to choose such a complete waste?

……

Raiden Mei gently raised her head, revealing the direction she was gazing at without reservation. Her eyes, clear as the ancient thunder in the sky and capable of reflecting the entire world like a mirror, were now focused on only one person, reflecting only that one person's image.

Her slightly upturned lips uttered a breath so gentle it seemed like a breeze, weakly rustling her clothes, yet chilling to the bone.

"My action of just lifting my skirt."

"actually……"

"—It's not entirely because of guilt."

……

What do you mean?

Is pulling up one's skirt not entirely out of guilt?

If it weren't for the subsequent attempt to save them.

What else could it be... the origin...?

Original……

because……?

If the subconscious act of pulling up her skirt, which was also accompanied by guilt, did not involve guilt towards herself or a desire to save herself, then what was the driving force that made the girl do such a thing?

This is a question Jiang Cheng should have asked.

At least, it's a question asked in one's mind.

This indicates a previous misjudgment, because Raiden Mei's emotions just now might have included this driving force that she didn't understand or know.

We must quickly address any oversights that could lead to problems, and absolutely cannot allow Raiden Mei to remain at risk of being possessed.

It should be like this.

That's exactly how it should be done.

But the doubts hadn't even reached the depths of his mind before stalling. Not only did he fail to think about and find an answer, but he hadn't even gotten halfway through the question itself when his thinking got stuck. For the first time, the knowledge he had acquired from the top genius of the previous civilization, Virvi, seemed so weak and powerless.

Because the girl in front of me had once again placed her hands on the ground and bent down to sit, her soft, gentle voice, like a breeze and a veil, had already entered my ears.

"Jiangcheng."

"—Please accept my ○ girl!"

……

?

?

???

what?

Ah!

what! ! !

What happened?

What just happened?

……

241. I think I do like you.

For a moment, Jiang Cheng couldn't even understand. He subconsciously looked down at the girl kneeling on the ground. The world seemed to suddenly drift away from him, and everything was covered with a layer of unreality. Even the colors he saw became blurry and unclear. He couldn't even understand what Raiden Mei had just said.

My ears felt as if they were blocked, as if there was a veil between them. What should have been a normal sound was only heard as a blurry, indistinct sound, like the flow of a tide.

Until Raiden Mei tirelessly and solemnly expressed her demands, until her words arrived once again so powerful that she could no longer escape them.

"I said."

"—Please take my virginity!"

……

A shameless voice escaped from those delicate lips, leaving no room for misunderstanding.

Straightforward, word by word, clear and distinct.

what……

I think I heard correctly.

……

……

"Eh……"

"Eh eh eh—!!!"

"Do you even know what you're doing?!"

For the first time, Jiang Cheng couldn't maintain his composure. His gaze suddenly became heavy, and even his hands seemed to be trying to find a place for themselves, swinging haphazardly and without any pattern, rising and falling, streaking through the air like black streaks of light.

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by asking me to take your virginity? We've only known each other for a little over a month."

"Isn't it a bit too superficial to do something like this so quickly? At least think it through before you speak."

"You're only in high school this year, and so am I. Let's think about this kind of thing more carefully later, when we've been together for a while and have more time to talk about it!"

Even with Wilvie's... even with that genius's level of skill, it took her several years before she was actively attacked at night at the Spiral Workshop. To achieve this level in just one month, isn't that considered a whirlwind marriage?

In a sense, some young people with rather traditional views on love find it hard to accept that they have to go straight to physical intimacy without any emotional foundation.

too fast.

It's just too fast.

Jiang Cheng could not accept that his first time with Raiden Mei was achieved for such a ridiculous reason, because of this inner unease.

The boy would never do something as dirty, despicable, and disgusting as exploiting a girl's guilt and gratitude to gain her body; it's something that makes you want to vomit just looking at it.

Saving Mei wasn't about blackmailing her, gaining any benefit, or acquiring anything. It was simply because I wanted to save her, because I was willing to save her, and because I wanted to save the first girl in the real world who was so kind to me, who would spend all her money on gifts for me, and who would always show me her best side.

The Herrscher's strength is of no concern to them.

They never even considered the potential benefits they could scramble for.

The only reason, the only cause, and the only driving force for coming here is simply to save people; it's just about wanting to help and protect.

Perhaps there will be rewards later, or perhaps some things will inevitably be gained along the way, but these are never the reason to move forward, nor the reason to expend so much effort in dangerous areas. They are merely insignificant things that are naturally gained along the way.

This is simply a return of love, a way of giving back to Raiden Mei after receiving her sincere love, not a base demand for love.

It is permissible to punish the Queen of Thunder and to receive some reward, which is reasonable; however, what is received must not be excessive coercion.

Appropriate compensation can prevent either party from feeling indebted. If one feels guilty, it will only lower one's own status.

For equality to be achieved without any entanglement, at least on the surface, both sides must be even, with neither truly superior to the other nor owing anything to the other.

Only such a relationship is healthy and ideal, and only by maintaining equality and fluidity between the two parties can the emotions be prevented from becoming stagnant.
