Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

There's nothing extra to worry about.

No matter how you observe, you can't see anything unusual. His talent is limited to a specific level, and he doesn't have any memories of Jiang Cheng. When he lived in the small town, there was never a person named Jiang Cheng.

In a situation where time is extremely tight and extremely scarce.

The girl wanted to make up for some promises she hadn't been able to keep because she left too early, and she used a perfectly immersive simulator to make up for her past regrets.

It wasn't a voluntary choice for me to leave, although I had long harbored the idea of ​​finding my own paradise.

But the girl at the time was still a bit immature and too young.

I will not leave under any circumstances.

However, when faced with the arrival of an organization that could be called the precursor to the Moth of Fire, the girl, who clearly realized that she would bring disaster to this town that should have continued to live in peace and happiness, had no choice but to say goodbye to her friends, her caring teachers, and the orphanage that had taken her in.

This kind of departure, which is not voluntary, not willing, and not a natural choice, will eventually leave a mark called regret in one's life.

Even if you go back on a trip later, you won't be able to find that feeling again.

The promises made gradually become blurred and indistinct with the passage of time.

Past memories are also beginning to become distorted.

Now, she has finally changed everything.

In the Valkyrie Raising Simulator, I once again experienced life in the small town and met those familiar and close people again.

Now, all the regrets from the past have been made up for.

"This time... let's leave as soon as possible."

This time.

The girl was finally able to face her inner choice to leave.

There was no coercion, nor were there any unfulfilled desires.

After making up for regrets, the past is no longer a burden, a slowdown, or a shackle that binds us; instead, it becomes a driving force for moving forward.

Reluctant to let go of yesterday, yet willing to embrace the future.

At fifteen, Alicia suddenly decided to go on a trip, even hiding it from you. She planned to leave alone. Luckily, you couldn't sleep that night and happened to see a girl jumping out of a second-floor window.

[Option 1: Let Alicia go. A free flower is not one you should imprison, nor is it something anyone can imprison... Alicia, you must be happy, okay? Alicia, how can I live without you?]

[Option Two: Stop Alicia from leaving alone and tell your parents.]

[Option 3: My parents are the people I respect most, and your departure will make them sad... You'll have to pay extra.]

Is there any need to hesitate?

Jiang Cheng chose the third option without hesitation.

Choosing option one wastes the only important thing at the start; even if you inherit the shop when you grow up, you'll still be nothing more than an ant in the face of future disasters.

Choosing option two might waste all the goodwill points, and the world might just collapse even faster.

Why don't we travel the world together?

only……

Was Alicia really this age when she left?

-

The cold night wind blew, the treetops rustled, and the eerie air ruffled the hem of your pristine white robe. Clad in a black cloak, you stood frozen in place, your blue eyes, hidden behind the hood, held a slightly distorted expression.

[The thought of someone trying to leave and being discovered always brings a little shame, making you somewhat hesitant to meet the boy's gaze.]

【strangeness……】

Even if something had actually happened, you could have easily covered it up. Why couldn't you even look the boy in the eye?

[Actually, you shouldn't have been so fooled that even a boy couldn't be fooled, but you deliberately hesitated a little and made a sound the moment you stepped out of the room.]

Perhaps it was this inexplicable emotion that prevented you from leaving.

What exactly is it?

As you stood there wondering, the boy's voice suddenly interrupted your thoughts. He didn't blame you; he simply wanted to leave the town with you.

Want to travel with me?

How could that be?!

Alicia's first thought was to refuse.

It wasn't that she was heartless, nor did she have any ill intentions; an innocent young girl wouldn't refuse a request made out of concern.

only……

Some are not quite suitable.

This world is not safe. Apart from densely populated urban areas, disasters called "collapse" can also occur in some remote and sparsely populated places.

If it's just a trip, I can protect Jiangcheng. In remote places where there is no civilization, at most some low-level Honkai Beasts will appear. Even in big cities, Emperor-level Honkai Beasts are extremely rare at this time.

Unfortunately, this was not a simple trip.

More than travel, it's about proactively seeking out people or things that will have a significant impact on the future, and rewriting the future's outcome in advance.

They will inevitably encounter some crises, some of which even they themselves may not be able to protect Jiangcheng from.

But this time, there was no option to refuse.

Normally, at this point the screen would have at least one "agree" or "disagree" message, but now it's empty, and you can only continue watching the video.

"Why...why can't I choose?"

Those pinkish-blue eyes almost turned into circles.

She could only watch helplessly as she acted cute and charming towards the boy, eventually agreeing to his request.

How could anyone refuse a teenager's request, which is so unreasonable?

You were never separated from him, not even for a single day.

"Since you put it that way... then I won't hesitate to rely on you."

"Brother Jiangcheng~?"

"Let's go on a trip together."

You clasped your hands together, blinked gently, looking playful and cute, and casually stepped forward to lightly hug the boy's arm.

[The next day.]

You told your parents about your desire to travel, and perhaps because you've always been extremely reliable and have already completed your university studies, they didn't say much about it.

[But when you mentioned that Alicia should also come along, their expressions were somewhat strange, a mixture of admiration and inexplicable sadness.]

[Who's got you so confused, not knowing what they're thinking?]

But despite Alicia's strong insistence and expressed support, they patted you on the shoulder and agreed to it.

You've never seen your family members' expressions so complicated; it's like their own cabbage has been eaten by their own pig.

6. You and Alicia begin your journey.

Of course, this doesn't mean they completely abandon you. They still plan your travel itinerary, teach you how to distinguish between good and bad people, and provide you with funds that an ordinary person could never earn in a lifetime of work.

[They also thoughtfully gave you a copy of the complete criminal law, with a special mark on one page. When you turn to that page, the first thing you'll see is an introduction to how many years you'll be imprisoned for molten copper.]

This makes you feel like your parents are slandering you, but regardless, you and Alicia embark on a world tour.

Your parents prepared a motorcycle for you, but Alicia chose a bicycle, saying she wanted to travel the world on foot.

The motorcycle was going too fast for her to properly greet everyone she encountered on the road.

You couldn't argue with her, but you silently sent the motorcycle to the location she had actually marked on the map.

On the road, you want to ask Alicia, a girl who volunteered to go and had a pre-existing purpose, about her true intentions and plans for the trip.

"Where to? That's a good question. The answer, of course, is... even I don't know~?"

"Feel free to share your thoughts!"

"This is a trip just for the two of us."

"Keeping yourself silent all the time can make your skin worse."

Alicia gently poked her chubby cheeks with her finger, her clear, unthinking eyes shining with a deep blue-green light.

Even though she is young and looks somewhat immature, her outstanding appearance is not overshadowed by it.

Her long hair swirls gently, her fair skin glows with a pinkish light that beckons one to kiss it, and her blue, starry eyes are lively and adorable.

Her delicate, petite nose, pale pink lips, and the occasional glimpse of her red tongue when she acts cute and charming make her appear as flawless as an elf from a fairy tale.

—Now you probably won't feel the urge to greet others for no reason.

This is a dream trip just for the two of you.

To be able to spend time with the boy who rescued her from the forest, travel together, and do such romantic things is like something out of a fairy tale.

To search for a certain place or something.

Instead, it became a meaningless act.

Like a flower blown by the wind of freedom, it leaves its fragrance wherever it falls, so why bother chasing after a destination?

—If the target is not marked on the map beforehand.

At sixteen, you officially began your journey. However, unlike ordinary travel, Alicia's personality inevitably influenced you, making you less concerned about whether the places you visited were famous enough.

[In this way, you don't need any famous historical sites; just the mountains and rivers you see along the way, and the sunsets along the riverbanks, will be enough to make you happy.]

The setting sun cast long shadows, and the crimson sky quickly darkened. In the distance, a patch of clouds adorned the twilight, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected off the mountains and waters, weaving together to create a moving picture.

Sunset glow is a beautiful natural phenomenon, where the afterglow of the setting sun reflects on the clouds in the sky, creating a colorful play of light and shadow.
