Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

original……

Is that right?

I have been forgiven.

It's clearly the same as a confession.

The girl's face showed no shame or avoidance. She was no longer like before, when she would be so shy at the slightest contact that she wanted to bury her head in shame, and when she would be so afraid of being abandoned at the slightest distance that she would lament to herself.

Wilvi was finally able to raise her head without hesitation, looking at the boy so close to her without fear, and at every beautiful moment.

Just looking at her like that, her misty eyes were so clear that they reflected the boy's face.

Such a helpless version of myself.

Such a greedy version of myself.

Can it also be embraced by Jiangcheng?

Own……

—Does he deserve such tolerance?

……

The boy made sure his posture didn't appear oppressive or reveal the slightest dissatisfaction; his bright, dark eyes, like those of a starry night, seemed to truly sparkle with starlight, just like the night sky.

Even if all the wasted time were added up, it might not even fill a whole day for such a trivial matter.

There is nothing to hesitate about.

There's absolutely no point in caring about it.

The reason for mentioning this matter is that I have realized a deeper reason: the lack of security in the girl's heart. Otherwise, there would be no need to mention it at all.

"It's just a small thing. Even for me, it's not a big deal. You wouldn't really do anything behind my back."

“I want to believe you. Didn’t you tell me that you would never, ever, ever abandon me? I still remember the solemn tone you used then.”

"This is the first time in my life I've heard such words, the first time I've felt so valued, so embraced, and I feel like I truly exist."

"Don't be so self-conscious anymore. You have some of the most outstanding talents in the world."

"The one who should really be worried about being abandoned is me."

"—My great inventor."

……

"Just like that, I was forgiven..."

"—Why?!"

Not far away, a pink camera precisely recorded everything, including the boy's sincere and earnest demeanor, and Wilvi's face, which seemed to have been saved by a god and showed not even a trace of strange emotion.

The insecure girl found salvation here and was promised a future.

but……

Why?

Why should she be forgiven?

They were rewarded despite doing something wrong, without any due punishment.

Alicia's eyes flickered with unease, her pearly teeth gently biting her lip, her slender fingers unconsciously cracking the camera casing. A strange, inexplicable feeling of discomfort filled the girl's heart.

After the initial greed stemming from the loss of the boy, the dominoes began to fall.

The girl, who should have been pure and innocent, blossoming with the perfect beauty of humanity, was now tainted by a new desire, a sin that belongs only to humankind.

--envy.

……

……

[The gift you gave back to the freedom the girl granted you was a sincere promise.]

Without facing pain, there can be no improvement or true growth; but if one does face pain, the pain may utterly destroy them.

[Then why don't you help the girl, and face the mistakes she made together? Wouldn't that allow both of you to grow and improve?]

The final result was as you predicted.

Simply repeating what she had already accepted was enough to make the girl, who was completely unable to face her own actions, re-examine herself.

You don't dislike Velvi.

You would never dislike a girl like this.

[A talented, beautiful, and well-proportioned girl with a gentle, introverted personality—no one in the world would dislike her.]

Such loyalty, such fawning, that you can't even offer a helping hand when you want to.

[This girl is countless times more loyal than any so-called loyal dog.]

Love is mutual. You're not the kind of heartless bastard who can watch someone sacrifice for you and then stand by and watch coldly from the highest seat.

Your feelings for Vervie are beyond description.

If this were a game with an affinity system that displayed numerical values, then even if it wasn't off the charts, it would definitely be hovering on the edge of being off the charts.

Making such a simple promise about your future won't make you regret it; it was something that was bound to happen from the very beginning.

From the moment you accepted this invitation, there was no turning back.

【—Isn't that right?】

Why waste time thinking about random, pointless things that you don't need and that are ultimately meaningless to you?

[Shouldn't the supervisor of Spiral Workshop have a responsibility to mediate between employees?]

[Isn't it only right for a friend to help the girl?]

Somewhat unexpectedly...

After the tearful girl finished her cake, it was bedtime, but Vivi had no intention of leaving the room to sleep. She just stayed beside you, silently watching you.

You originally intended to advise the young woman to take care of her health, as staying up late can impair her thinking and inspiration.

[Vilvie, however, put the gold pocket watch—which had appeared in your sight several times but you had never paid it any attention to—into her pocket.]

[Gently, carefully, as if carrying a heavy mountain on their backs, they raised their heads.]

The girl's unique silver-pink eyes held a complex mix of emotions, shy and reserved yet exceptionally resolute, as if she had already made a decision during their silent gaze.

You've only seen him like this once.

Even after living with a young girl for so many years, you've only seen her once.

[At your birthday party a few years ago, when you were still traveling with Alicia, the girl presented you with an invitation symbolizing freedom.]

What is Vilvi going to do?

56. Alicia: We failed...we failed completely.

[The girl, who was originally lonely and withdrawn, took her first step for you. She didn't care if the enemy she encountered was that innocent girl, and she was willing to jump into the abyss for you, even though she knew that what lay ahead was only an abyss.]

[You vaguely sensed something; your memory, far exceeding that of ordinary people, began to reawaken.]

My thoughts began to work involuntarily.

The memory of that banquet seems to replay before my eyes.

It seems like just a few years ago, this girl suddenly entered your life, bringing a new dimension of color to your otherwise bleak and lonely existence.

And at this very moment, that gentle, shy yet firm voice once again enters your ears.

【"I……"】

"—I harbor feelings of love for you."

[Vilvie could no longer suppress her emotions.]

"I fell in love with you the moment you took the initiative to chat with me at that birthday party. That was the first time in my life that someone wanted to get close to me."

"It wasn't about taking advantage of me, it didn't stem from fear, and it wasn't driven by greed. It was simply about wanting to help, to save the powerless me."

"I should have made some progress by now, but I still make mistakes... Even though I'm so clumsy, you're still willing to be tolerant and forgive me."

"I've never been called a great inventor before, and they never speak to others in a kind tone."

"Even if it's selfishness, even if it's just one person's despicable act, I no longer want to suppress my feelings."

"so……"

The girl's right hand rested on her plump breasts, letting the soft, white flesh ripple as it was squeezed.

With a shy, gentle yet firm voice, she expressed the feelings that had been suppressed in her heart for so long, which she dared not speak out, to the boy in front of her.

"Please don't refuse me."

……

Even though some things were indeed concealed to avoid worrying the boy, and even though some relatively insignificant crises had been discovered in the collapse.

Even if the feelings weren't so pure from the beginning, the initial reaction to the boy's clothes being stolen was more out of possessive jealousy.

The girl was still so shameless and despicable, ignoring everything and revealing her deeply vile emotions.

Despicable or not.

Methods aside.

Shamelessness is acceptable.

As long as it leaves a mark on the hearts of young people.

If we can successfully take the relationship to the next level, making it one that is never to be separated, that can never be broken apart by anything other than death.

Even becoming a complete villain would be acceptable.
