Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

He silently protected me when I was ostracized at university. Although he bullied me, he also helped me, who couldn't find a job, to set up a laboratory together.

The "Möbius Lab" was built step by step by eating instant noodles together, but he abandoned his senior and ran away when it was just starting to make progress.

Even so, my senior was still taking care of me.

That person, though seemingly frightening, was actually a bit more cowardly than she had imagined. Because deep down she feared loss, she unconsciously looked after those around her, afraid they would suddenly leave her.

what……

Speaking of which, I wonder if Klein is working overtime again. That girl is a bit like me, which is why I recommended her to my senior, but she's working too hard, it's worrying…

And then there's Cangxuan and Danzhu, haha, they're such a delightful pair.

Although Cang Xuan seems calm and reliable, she always makes silly mistakes in strange ways and is a bit greedy. Hopefully, she won't fall into any traps because of her greed for small gains.

Danzhu is really worrying, she's radiating worry from head to toe... She often spends all her money on those things called... figurines, and then goes hungry, and she even spends money on in-game purchases... I'm really worried about that child.

However, with Cangxuan watching over her, she should be alright, right? After all, Danzhu is a good child and deserves a wonderful life.

what……

And then there's Melutina. That child... that child, she's experienced more and thought more than any of us, it's heartbreaking.

She's clearly a very good girl; she deserves good fortune.

She lost her brother when she first learned about family ties.

She lost her best friend the moment she first learned about friendship.

When she first began to experience a budding romance, she lost Adam.

Kindness can sometimes overwhelm a person, but she is very strong.

I'm not worried about her. Melutina... is a "strong" girl. She will definitely go further than her senior, than me, and than anyone else.

If... if we can defeat the Honkai, can we stand on the lawn on a sunny day, all gathered together, chatting and laughing?

Melutina, Kevin, Senior Mebius, even Qianjie... they all laugh.

Because the Honkai has been defeated, no one will lose their life.

No, that's not right...

"Huh...huh...huh..."

In her dazed state, Blanca picked up a piece of gravel, plunged it into her palm, and blood dripped from her fingers onto the ground.

"Hmm?! Hmm... Hmm... Ah..."

The excruciating pain caused Blanca to bend over, pulling herself back from the brink of oxygen deprivation.

Cold sweat dripped from her forehead. Blanca threw away the stone and lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Her right eye was completely blind, as if the blood she had drawn had dried. Her right leg was gradually becoming numb, and she feared that even if she survived, she wouldn't be able to keep it.

But Blanca doesn't care about such things now.

She didn't even need a premonition; she knew exactly what situation she was in.

"I'm just... an ordinary person."

Without a strong body, and without the mental fortitude to remain unfazed by pain.

Blanca struggled to her feet, the excruciating pain in her right leg causing her to groan softly.

These were ten long seconds, and Blanca used that precious time to successfully place his hand on the console.

"The blood loss has reached a fatal level, and moving is impossible..."

Blanca smiled bitterly, sweat mixed with blood, and tears streaming down her face from the pain.

I bet I look really ugly right now, right?

I wonder if Hen Jie would mind...

Blanca knew that her life was about to enter its final minute, and she unconsciously began to recall her life.

"Honestly, I thought it was just a mediocre life... but it turns out there are so many people I want to remember that I can't even finish remembering them all."

Blanca slumped against the control panel, head bowed, a bitter smile on her face.

"Although she was a stupid woman who couldn't help much until her death... at least in the end, she could protect you."

Countless bubbles eventually turned into two.

In the end, the memories were filled with only two people.

I don't even need to consciously recall things like before; the beautiful memories deep within my mind are already filling my head.

"I do not regret giving my life here. Forgive me for wasting my time for myself in this critical moment."

Blanca placed her finger on the "start" button, apologizing for the time she had spent; these were her final words.

“Our child…Gresch…I entrust him to you…”

"Honey……"

.........

"Seriously, do high school students these days even get garbage sorting wrong? That's common sense."

"Oh, I'm sorry, are you a college student? I was a bit rude to speak to an older person."

"I am Hen."

"You underestimate yourself."

"That's too formal, I'll misunderstand."

"I like you, Blanca."

.........

I like books.

So I'd like to give you the words from that book I picked up by chance—

Every encounter in this world is a reunion after a long separation.

Thank you, Hen.

.........

The Herrscher weapon – “Anubis’s Cage” – is activated.

Blanca, the Moth of Fire, is dead.

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Song of the Scars Ends

God doesn't pray, God brings miracles.

But this world lacks miracles, so it also lacks gods.

Everything must be overcome and surpassed by humankind until the day it brings about its own destruction.

Everyone must live arrogantly, live on, and keep living.

I……

I am not a hero, nor do I aspire to be one.

But I ended up on the path of a hero, though it was not my wish.

Everyone has their reasons, right?

Friends, family, lovers...

Ironically, it is these losses that make people stronger and more resilient.

At the same time, some people cannot withstand the blow and fall into despair or undergo a drastic change in personality.

This is no one's fault; no one is at fault. The fault lies with this cruel world.

Even if you treat the world kindly, it will not respond to you in the same way.

I lost my family and my friends.

But after that, I gained new friends and a new family.

If I am unfortunate, I have no way of denying it.

If you say I'm lucky, then that's not really the case.

In the end, I'm just that kind of man.

In this apocalyptic world, I am but one of the countless ordinary people.

…………

Slightly, there is some blood deficiency.

Hen snapped out of his reverie, looked at the broken sword in his hand, took a deep breath, and gazed at the Herrscher imprisoned in the air by an unknown armed force.

Although I don't know who did it, it was a huge help.

"..."

For some reason, seeing this armor made Alicia's expression unpleasant; she seemed worried about something.

Her condition wasn't great either; the small wounds and dust on her body made her look somewhat disheveled, but fortunately, there were no fatal injuries.

"..."

Hen stared silently at the Herrscher in the sky, whose expression was one of pain and anger. He said nothing, but simply gripped the broken sword in his hand.

The outcome hinges on a single moment; this is the last chance. The only opportunity to win will arrive in a short time, and only he can achieve it.

"..."

Judgment-class Honkai Beast Mori-shiki—that's the name of the Honkai Beast fused with the Mark.

Its final power, "Yang Flame," was never used by Hen. He had been prepared for this countless times, but he always fell short in the face of life and death.

The title of "immortal" is not an honor, but a disgrace.

He survived because his companions always died before him.
