Live broadcast of Honkai Impact 3rd, I chose to expose Kiana in Sky City!

[I don't know what happened, and I'm not qualified to persuade you.]

[…But only by surviving can we wait for a turnaround, right?]

Then, the memory fast-forwarded and skipped three days.

During these three days, time passed quickly like flowing water.

[Yes, although I have not worked in a related profession, believe me, I may have more medical knowledge than anyone you know - it is better not to go out.]

Yutu said this to the pregnant woman named Alexandra.

After three days of getting along, she had already established a certain friendship with this woman whom she had just met.

The other party also felt much better after meeting Yutu.

[Really? I feel that... since I met you, my health has improved a lot.]

Alexandra then told Hato about her recent experiences.

It is not difficult to infer from her words that after the disaster, almost everyone in her settlement died.

She herself almost lost her life because of it.

Fortunately, she survived thanks to the rescue of Yutu and another person.

[It’s really strange that the two people who saved me recently, one was only willing to tell me his surname, and the other was only willing to tell me his first name.]

[Do you know her? Her name is Kokolia, she is an officer

...]

"???"

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

At this moment, Kiana would never have thought that the villain, who had almost no presence, would suddenly come back to life.

And Cocolia...

Is this the reason why she adopted Bronya?

"Wow! It's Cocolia? Hmm, it seems that she... isn't a completely bad person?"

"It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but can a crazy person be sure of it? But then again, I don't seem to have the qualifications to say such things."

“Haha, should I say stupid? Trying to control Honkai with such a barbaric and backward method, after all, she hasn’t even touched the starting point of Otto~”

Cocolia...

A relatively well-known villain in the world of Honkai, although he cannot be compared with Otto Kevin, a villain who runs through almost the entire history of the first part.

But at least it's a small boss in the early stage.

But her historical record is...quite puzzling.

In the early stage, he was very powerful, but behind the scenes, he dealt with Kiana and captured Mei and Wendy.

Then in the fourth chapter, he forcibly took out the gem, leaving Heavenly Father and Bronya as the rear guard, and successfully escaped.

After that, she almost disappeared.

It was not until Bronya was about to enter the Quantum Sea to rescue Seele that Cocolia reappeared and played a...delicate role that I don't know how to describe.

Her love for her children was real.

But the damage she caused to Bronya was real.

Although for some reason, she betrayed Gray Snake in the end, and indirectly helped Bronya, Theresa and several doctors from Anti-Entropy.

But after that—she disappeared again.

As for what happened afterwards, the plot doesn't say, and it also doesn't explain what she is doing now.

Apart from the possibility of occasionally appearing in event plots, this woman can almost be said to be - it's almost hard to remember, how could there be such a person?

Of course, it's not just everyone who can't remember this person.

Yutu had never even heard of her.

Since I have never heard of it, the topic about Cocolia has come to an end.

Then, Alexandra mentioned her husband, Bronya's father.

[If possible...can you help me find a tombstone nearby? The name on it is Alexei...Alexei Sidavich Zaitsev.]

This was the name of Bronya's father whom she had almost never met... He died in a disaster a few months ago.

This meant that he would not be able to see the moment his child was born...

[Please...place this flower on his gravestone for me.]

[He was my husband, who died a few months ago in that disaster. Although only his hat and pistol were buried there... I would go there every week to chat with him and give him a bouquet of flowers.]

[When he went abroad, he said that cemeteries that were not visited by anyone were the saddest because the people buried there [were truly gone]. I… didn’t want him to end up in that situation.]

Noticing the other person's puzzled look, she continued to add.

[Is it surprising that I can tell you this so calmly? I've said it before, my current body doesn't allow me to be too sad. After all, it's hard to find medicine to maintain my lung capacity.]

Of course, she also knew how bad her situation was...

But she still decided to leave what happened then until then.

Afterwards, Yutu fulfilled her request to present flowers, and after returning, Ms. Alexandra gave her the name [Misterine].

After getting the name, Alexandra wanted to say something else.

But suddenly someone knocked on the door of the house...

Yutu told him not to be nervous, and then went outside to talk to him.

The memories after that seemed a little [fragmented] at this moment - those were the fleeting glimpses that Bronya had seen during the game, and they had also become incomplete because of this game.

[…Yes, I have heard people talk about the terrible scene of [Hell].]

[Join the World Serpent, and you will [get what you want].]

[[Qualified ones]——They are one in a million. Once they [disappear], it will be difficult to find another one...!]

'boom! '

...An unexpected gunshot.

Alexandra still seemed a little shaken as she thought back to the [man] who shot her.

At the moment when his cold will was about to collapse...his mechanical finger pulled the trigger by inertia and shot the fatal bullet at her hiding in the room.

Fortunately, Yiyi had been standing next to the living curse for so long that the other party had reached his limit in many ways. The shot only left a bullet mark on the chimney on the roof.

If it were just this, things would be simple. Everything that happened just now, from the moment [Mislin] calmly walked into the bonfire and let the flames burn her, was far beyond her imagination.

But despite this, at this moment, what she needed was not to accept any form of comfort, but to say some words that she had prepared in advance.

【Misterine.】

[......Yeah. I'm here. No one will hurt you again, I promise.]

Alexandra felt a little relieved after hearing what Yutu said.

Then she said what she had not said just now.

It turned out that according to reason, someone would come to help her soon.

That person was a friend of Bronya's father. Everything had been agreed upon, but because of an accident, she is now the only survivor here.

If it weren't for Yutu, she might not have made it to that moment.

Alexandra's gratitude can be said to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

With fear of the unknown in mind, she finally spoke according to her conscience.

At the same time, the pregnant woman was told a despairing fact...

[…I’m sorry, Alexandra. The child you envisioned will never be born.]

【......What? 】

[For that child...I...gave you too much power.]

[Is this the [Stigmata] you mentioned?]

"???"

“o(╥﹏╥)oThe background sound suddenly became so heavy. I think I may have guessed what will happen in the end…”

"It's so tragic... But this is also the greatness of human nature and the greatness of maternal love..."

"...It's a decision that really makes me wonder how I should feel..."

With the sudden change of BGM, the audience, who were already used to being hacked, had already guessed it.

Alexandra's final choice...is self-evident.

Although the power of the stigmata of Yutu can save Alexandra, it is also a constant harm to the child in her belly.

If this continued, Alexandra would definitely survive - but her child would die.

This is a cruel truth that a mother cannot accept no matter what.

[Even if [I] have to become the [price] for that child to live... I can accept it.]

[This... No, this is not worth it! ]

After hearing Alexandra's choice, Yutu felt that his own values ​​were challenged.

As she said. For a being like her... it is obviously more important to keep the stories that have already happened alive than the [future] that has not yet been born.

[I must keep it, even if there is no future.]

Which of the two lives is more important, a life whose thought is still stuck in chaos, or a life that has left laughter and stories in the world - not only is this perspective naturally different from that of others [heterogeneous]...even humans themselves often argue about this and fall into a dilemma.

but......

[…[Worthy]? No… Can this be evaluated as [worthwhile]?]

——The person in front of me, her thoughts are far simpler than the so-called [ideal form].

Chapter 497: Ai Lishiya: This is exactly what I want to protect - the splendor of human nature

After a brief period of [calmness], she began to cry uncontrollably and poured out all her emotions in words mixed with thorns.

[Just to avoid my own fate, am I going to take away the future she was supposed to have?]

[I originally thought that you were a poor person who was cursed for no reason because of the unfairness of fate... But you didn't feel guilty at all - you finally regarded yourself as a god! What right do you have to arbitrarily decide the fate of any life?]

[You...No, I...]

Alexandra was so excited that she was speechless for a moment.

In the end, despite her excellent upbringing, she still couldn't continue to get angry at the person in front of her.

【......Feel sorry.】

She held back her harsh words. Despite her shortcomings, this woman never hurt others unnecessarily.

[I implicitly exchanged my life for the life of my child. Judging from your reaction... this is the only way to go, right? I know that if it weren't for you... my child might have died with me. ]

Alexandra said, sobbing.

During this period of time, everyone has experienced too many changes, one after another... She didn't even dare to think about it.

She knew that these were all arranged by fate, and she could neither refuse nor change them. All she could do was to convince herself not to delve into them...

But now, if she had a chance to change the status quo...she would still want to grab it and let something more precious continue to exist in the world.

"This... It turns out that Bronya also has a great mother..."

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

Kiana rarely heard Bronya talk about her mother.

To be honest, she sometimes even suspected that Bronya was created by someone through genetic synthesis just like herself.

But the fact is - Bronya has a pretty great mother.

She sacrificed herself in exchange for her child's new life.
