Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

However, he was immediately punched in the face again, and Danzhu, with red eyes, launched into a tirade of abuse.

"...Lord Danzhu, even if you kill me, you cannot be without guards."

Lian Shan covered his nose, neither daring to be angry nor daring to speak.

"I'll have Ji Lin send a team over."

"Then hurry up! Chi You will react soon!"

Danzhu kicked him.

"That's a Honkai Beast! Although Cang Xuan said he'd hand it over to her... clearly that idiot messed it up. ...Chi You, I'll make you pay the price!"

Lian Shan, clutching his backside, suddenly turned around and glanced back—

The guardians, who always looked so frail, clutched a red chain in their hands.

Just one glance was enough to chill the heart of this battle-hardened Lianshan clan chief.

.........

The night Cangxuan died

Massive earthquakes of unknown cause have struck various parts of China.

Countless refugees and tribes were caught up in the chaos.

"...Cangxuan, Danzhu, you must both be alright!"

Chi Yuan Zhenren swiftly traversed the rocks, and when the first tremor came, she sensed something was wrong.

My biggest worry right now is whether my two friends who are currently in contact with the bear are still safe.

"Help me!"

"Immortal! Save us!"

"Help..."

"my child……"

"Mother……"

……

"Chi You, why are you doing this to these innocent people..."

Unable to ignore the wailing of the Crimson Phoenix Immortals, she stopped in her tracks. After a brief hesitation, she turned in another direction.

"This disaster must be stopped! We can't let the death toll rise!"

This may also be one of the choices she made in her long life as a source of regret.

But if time could turn back...

Will she really make a different choice?

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Song of Danzhu

"There's really nothing in this world that can make you unhappy. As long as you keep going, you'll eventually remember the happy things."

For Danzhu, her life truly lived just as this statement suggests.

What about collapse, disaster, apocalypse, mission?

These things are important to others, but they mean nothing to Danzhu.

Anyway, she's lived a carefree and heartless life for the first half of her life. Expecting her to save the world is worse than letting Padophilia do it.

Danzhu felt that she was not good material to be a hero. She was naturally carefree and did not have any outstanding talents.

My elder sister, Cangxuan, is talented, but she doesn't care about him.

Junior sister Melutina is talented, but she is haunted by her past.

So Danzhu actually felt that he had no talent, which wasn't really a bad thing.

It is said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, although it is an old saying, and although she herself is not very virtuous.

But ultimately...

It's nothing serious.

The most important thing in life is to live happily.

But Danzhu was not a saint either.

Her friends have all passed away one by one, and she can't keep up this carefree act any longer.

Danzhu didn't have many important people in his life, but the earth burned out, and fifty thousand years passed...

How many people does she know?

My elementary school deskmate died...

My middle school teacher died...

The head of student affairs at the high school...

My college roommates...

Danzhu's life after the age of twenty consisted of listening to these things.

We can manage...

That would be absurd.

What could Danju do? Kevin was so strong, yet he suffered even more than they did.

Mei is so smart, yet she exhausts herself to the point of looking like a human being.

Those I wanted to save are all dead.

Those who survived by sheer luck had lost their spirit.

The apocalypse is such a thing.

It is neither a legend nor history.

It's experience, not just theory.

For Danzhu, this was the cruelest thing.

Danzhu still survived, continuing to be so "carefree." If she didn't live like that, the world around her would be even more desolate, and she hated that.

But there's nothing wrong with living like this.

Danzhu felt from the bottom of her heart that the past should be left in the past.

Carrying the past will only lead to endless wandering, and those who live in the past will not find happiness because of it.

To forge the future while accepting the past is not a right, but an obligation.

Those who survive must accept the past.

We must not forget that it meant betrayal.

But one cannot be bound by such constraints, for that would imply a deeper betrayal.

No matter how long a person travels, the past will always follow them like a shadow.

Once the past is left behind, there is no tomorrow.

Danzhu wasn't exactly a smart person, but she wasn't stupid either.

But there are many things that she can understand that others cannot.

Just like Cangxuan, just like Meltina, just like Hua.

She hadn't seen Melutina for a long time and wondered if she was still the same as before.

If so, it's worrying.

If not, perhaps we should be relieved.

……

Danzhu, 16 years old

"Danzhu, you failed again this time..."

"Alright, alright, I know what you're going to say, teacher. Is it because your sister Cang Xuan always gets first place, but you fail?"

"Danzhu".

The homeroom teacher sighed.

“I am also a teacher who educates and nurtures people. How could you say such a thing? You and your sister may look alike, but you are not the same person.”

"Well, but teacher, I'm not good at studying. What good will it do me if I go to university like this?"

"Reading itself is meaningless, but when you don't know what to do, it's always good to learn something."

The homeroom teacher shook his head.

"Many people think that the meaning of studying is to get into a good university. But is the world really that easy to understand?"

"Danzhu, your teacher knows your temperament; you don't like studying, but there's more than one path in life."

"But I don't know what to do."

"That's why I'm having you study. Just because no one else does something doesn't mean it's wrong. Just because everyone else does something doesn't mean it's right, but at least it's not completely wrong."

Reading is one way out; until you've figured things out, it's always a viable option.

"Teacher, you said so much."

"Teachers all have this bad habit. Students always feel that teachers are arrogant, but teachers can't do anything about it."

The homeroom teacher sighed and slapped the test paper onto Danzhu's forehead.
