Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

All of this was not obtained through their own abilities, but rather was more like a sudden gift from a fairy tale.

A girl who is overly kind and cannot take the kindness of others for granted is unlikely to do anything bad when there is no danger.

Although these are just words, no matter how much comfort and dissuasion are given, the emotions beating in my heart remain clear and distinct.

"I still feel a little sad inside..."

"Let's... do a little more."

……

The girl, gently biting her cherry lips, still couldn't tolerate the jealousy and dissatisfaction she felt watching from the side, even though her delicate lips had left some marks, serving as a barrier between her two rows of white teeth.

Before the clatter of pots and pans had even subsided, plate after plate of delicious food was being prepared in the kitchen and served by the girl. Thanks to her Herrscher-like physical abilities and focus, even her so-called knife skills surpassed those of the world's top chefs, who would only occasionally break through their limits once or twice in their entire lives.

These are unimaginably advanced life forms, and even if they still wear the skin of humans, they are essentially unrelated to the human species.

Even eating is not necessary, or rather, cooking itself doesn't need to be so difficult; one can directly control lightning to easily prepare food.

Now, perhaps part of the reason is not just to make food, but also to use cooking as a way to hone one's skills while diverting attention from the intimate interactions between Wilvi and Jiang Cheng.

At least if I can make more delicious food, I guess that would be helping the boy.

I guess I'll be happier when I kiss Vilvi.

……

The firelight made her jade-like skin flushed red, and her soft, white skin was covered with an unnatural glow, like the afterglow of the setting sun under a clear sky. The sweat from the heat condensed into beads, tracing across her youthful and beautiful body. Her soft, white breasts trembled with her rapid breathing, exuding a youthful vitality that would make any man's eyes widen, making the crystal-clear water droplets fall as if they were struggling to cross mountains.

With just a slight tremor, the beads of sweat that had been painstakingly climbed to the top and were about to slide down were once again bounced back onto the swan's neck by the overly soft surface. Some even fell into the delicate collarbone, or were swallowed up by the snow-white, flawless cleavage, pressed down by the two mountains, and completely disappeared without a trace.

The exquisitely beautiful purple-haired girl had a blush on her cheeks, exhaled softly, and a dew-like drop of fragrant sweat clung to her fair nose, which was as delicate as a spring mountain.

Perhaps because she had adjusted the size of her clothes several times, even though she knew the boy wouldn't look, she still made her clothes more in line with his preferences. The foreign object, which was not meant for everyday use, appeared even tighter, causing large patches of snow-white, warm flesh to almost overflow from the edge of her chest.

……

264. Jiang Cheng: I think it's necessary to mention my affair.

Although no one was there to see the beautiful scenery, the burning gazes he had felt earlier had vanished—the boy had been taken by someone else.

A beautiful young woman who should be a campus belle, hand in hand with her lover, or riding a Ferris wheel together to watch the sunset, is instead engaged in culinary work.

The insecure girl had long since become so humble that she dared not raise her head, and she dared not even show her normal emotions, but could only suppress them endlessly.

Subsequent dishes such as tempura and sashimi, typical Far Eastern home-style dishes, were also served, providing the perfect nourishment for taste buds that had consumed too much salt.

The environment and atmosphere were so calm and cozy that it was almost too warm, until the food on the table was completely devoured, leaving not a trace of soup, and the meal ended as the greatest respect for the chef.

As for kitchen waste, simply using gravity to sweep it once is a luxurious way to replace the dishwasher.

However, the matter has not yet been resolved.

Then, it's time to start opening up the conversation.

After finishing his meal, the boy did not take any further action for the first time. He didn't even try to help or lend a hand. He sat calmly in his seat, showing no sign of being lazy or indifferent.

"Vilvie, Alicia..."

Do you have any free time right now?

……

"Of course there is. The collapse in this world is very weak. Just cleaning it up wouldn't even take an hour."

Alicia still has that soft, sweet, and delicious look, like a marshmallow, and her radiant smile is a natural expression of nobility and splendor.

For a fairy who has hunted Honkai for countless years and is considered a Honkai killer, the current strength of the entire world would be wiped out in less time than it used to take to destroy a small town.

So much so that during those three days, almost no one knew that the seemingly ever-active Fairy had already traversed the world once.

The boy gently tapped the smooth dining table. "So, about some things concerning me, I feel... it's better not to just let them slide."

"for example……"

"Regarding infidelity."

The air became inexplicably heavy, as if the wind, which should have been flowing, had suddenly stopped at a certain moment, or like water turning into ice, frozen in place.

The oppressive feeling was palpable even in the nearby kitchen. The room, originally designed for several professional teams, felt unbelievably spacious when there was only one person present.

At this moment, the only chef and audience member were quietly doing the useless task of washing dishes. Her jade-like fingers, covered in white gloves, gently wiped the plates that had been crushed clean by gravity. In reality, Raiden Mei was selectively avoiding the boy and other girls who had started to show off their affection.

Swaying his body, he provides the boy with beautiful scenery that he can see anytime, anywhere. As long as he doesn't think about competing with those he can't compete with at all, and makes sure he has a place next to Jiang Cheng, he can be content to just sit around and do nothing, suppressing his emotions. Then he won't get involved in any battles.

The girl thought this would allow her to remain harmless to the side, until the plate in her hand suddenly made a crisp sound.

As Raiden Mei lowered her head instinctively, what was reflected in her deep purple eyes was the tangible presence of the atmosphere in the kitchen not far away.

Beside the fingertips exchanging words through gloves, a lavishly decorated and exceptionally sturdy plate, personally crafted by Vilvi, had a small crack.

—It is almost a tangible form of Honkai energy.

As Herrschers and several non-human beings similar to Herrschers, they maintain their humanity simply because of their hobbies. This year, their emotions alone are enough to cause changes in the celestial phenomena, and the resulting Honkai energy activity is enough to instantly erode even the most talented warriors among mortals into a pile of ashes.

The tableware designed by Velvet for durability ultimately couldn't withstand just one night, because the previous set had been crushed in a fight the day before.

The problem is coming.

—It's a question that concerns myself.

The boy's voice was somewhat muffled, but he never deliberately lowered his voice. He had no intention of avoiding anyone, even though the words he spoke were extremely intense in matters of the heart, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it could lead to a breakup or any other serious incident.

Raiden Mei could hear everything clearly even in the kitchen; she didn't need to listen actively or use her authority to observe.

what……

As for me...

My heart pounded and pounded violently, as if it were not merely transmitting blood that had become meaningless, but truly beating on the edge of a cliff, slowly and inching closer to the abyss, as if pebbles were already being shaken down and falling into the bottomless abyss.

That was a rehearsal for the fall.

This is a display of the girl before she fell off the cliff.

Just like when conducting interrogation and punishment, the whip is first cracked, and the sound of the air vibrating as it suddenly accelerates at the end proves its sharpness and cruelty, inducing fear to the greatest extent before the first lash of punishment is delivered.

……

"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." Her voice sounded hurried, as if she were fleeing.

Sensing the increasingly strange atmosphere, Raiden Mei left the restaurant without a trace of lingering regret or worry. Her footsteps quickly disappeared, leaving only the three people staring at each other in the empty room.

Don't worry……

There's no need to worry...

Since it was Jiang Cheng who suggested it, we should just trust him.

Anyway, given the boy's gentle nature, he would never choose to betray her. Even if he said something that might hurt her, she could just ignore it. All she needed was to stay by his side. She didn't ask for more affection or get involved in anything else. Having a certain status was enough. That way, she could be sure she would never be abandoned.

If you don't do anything, you won't make mistakes, and you won't encounter dissatisfaction because of doing something wrong. This is the only lesson learned over a long period of time.

Contentment brings happiness... People who cannot clearly recognize the limits of their own abilities and their own status will only make one mistake after another.

……

—That's how it should have been.

……

If the girl about to enter her room hadn't seen the black, distorted light lingering in front of the door, the winding, meandering light would have even reduced the incandescent beams into a mass of liquid, creating the illusion of staring directly into a black hole.

Even the seemingly ubiquitous wind and light, two things in nature that cannot be controlled or interfered with by humans, are captured by gravity. Only the sound remains clear, and the boy's words clearly express his meaning.

"Please don't leave yet, Raiden Mei. You are also my lover, someone I love deeply, one of the most important people in my life..."

"She is someone who, like Vervi and Alicia, should absolutely not be ranked as 'one of the most important,' and should absolutely not be associated with being 'one of the most important.'"

……

The table for three eventually filled up, and Raiden Mei chose a suitable spot—not too far away, not too close, just right—where her warm skin touched the cold chair, her full breasts pressed into a pancake, leaving a clear shape imprinted on the chair surface.

Suppressing the coldness emanating from below, the delicate moan that almost escaped her lips, and the white skin that was about to spill out from under her apron, the large expanse of snowy, moist skin that the tight fabric couldn't perfectly cover, were forcibly stuffed back in.

The previous temptations have now vanished, at least outwardly, the perverted feeling of wanting to show off everything about oneself is no longer there.

Although she seemed to be acting more serious, the girl's face still showed shyness and embarrassment, as if her heart was itching and the cold chair could not calm her down.

Upon seeing the boy's serious eyes, she felt something was off all over her body. Suddenly, she raised the drum, pulled out the strap underneath, and sat down again. Her face instantly flushed a faint blush, and a soft moan escaped from her tightly pursed lips, probably because she was cold.

Even without looking further or going to the back, just by focusing on the part that wasn't covered by the apron, one could imagine the flattened peach.

Compared to doing improper things while wearing improper clothes, doing proper things while wearing improper clothes brings more shame.

Only Alicia, who had already experienced countless battles and tried all sorts of tricks in Letu as an extreme pervert, and Velvi, who only cared about the boy and nothing else, could sit there as if they didn't care. Their eyes were more focused on the boy's face than on his strange clothes.

Worried...??

fear……??

……

"I still need to apologize to you... to Velvi, to Alicia, to Raiden Mei for my mistake of being unfaithful in my feelings."

Jiang Cheng's fingertips lightly tapped on the cleaned dining table, seemingly in control of the atmosphere. His deep blue eyes held a captivating light, as restrained as the coldness reflected in the stars. Yet, his words were a ruthless judgment on himself.

--mistake.

—The mistake of being fickle.

This is not something that can be dismissed with a simple "ignorance is no excuse," because it will be a lifelong affair. A man named Jiang Cheng will spend his entire life with three different girls, living forever without end.

If you can't be prepared to persevere to the end no matter what happens, and you dare to just muddle through this whole mess...

Then we must face the only, and only, possible outcome, the worst possible outcome that we are bound to face and can only face.

The so-called infidelity is nonexistent, and the fading of feelings should not exist either. Such behavior, which is a huge insult to a relationship, is absolutely impossible and should never occur in a relationship that is so heavy that it feels like a black hole.

The most powerful thing about black holes is not just their ability to capture objects, but their ability to distort time and space. The closer you get to them, the longer the time becomes, even approaching eternity.
