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

"......Um."

Faced with Alicia's question, Mei found that she didn't know what to say except "hmm".

"But this is indeed a result that even Velvet cannot be sure of, a real "miracle"... and the reason why the miracle happened... must be because Mei really wants to see me! Right?"

"???"

As Alicia made such a joking remark, a barrage of comments with moonlight special effects floated across the live broadcast room.

Obviously, Kiana had never expected at this moment that Alicia would be so enthusiastic about Mei.

Is this a bit too enthusiastic?

It's so infuriating!

Of course, what shocked Kiana the most was Mei's reaction afterwards...

"Ah."

"!"

And just when Kiana was extremely shocked...

Mei began to express what she wanted to say to Alicia.

"I've always wanted to see you again. To tell you my answer, to tell you I found a way forward, to tell you... I will always remember it."

"...Wow...After not seeing you for a while, Mei has become more and more frank. This is too unfair."

It has to be said that Mei's words were much more straightforward than before.

This made Alicia more or less unable to cope.

Of course, it is still difficult to resist.

At this time, she would not give up easily.

"But I won't admit defeat, okay? In this situation, how can I let Mei get the upper hand?"

"So... let's go somewhere else, okay?"

Alicia's tone became a little lower.

"Somewhere...more suitable for girls?"

As soon as the voice fell, the place where the two were suddenly transformed into the paradise of the past life that Alicia was very familiar with...

"Clang clang! Is Alicia's magic more powerful than Vilvi's?"

"If it was Velvet's magic we would be on Mars or something like that by now."

Mei teased.

Alicia also laughed.

"Haha, that's right."

"I like this place very much. The meeting hall of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire, the lobby of the Paradise of the Past... It is also the place that Mei is most familiar with and feels most at ease in her entire journey to the Paradise, right?"

As Alicia continued to talk, Mei's tone became heavier without her noticing...

"Yeah, that's also where we first met."

"Then... Meiyi, do you want to reminisce with me? I also want to hear Meiyi's own story."

Mei was somewhat confused about this.

"Vilvi's 'Long Letter' should have conveyed everything about me to you."

What Mei said was not false——but Alicia actually had another meaning.

"But I want Mei to tell me in person."

"haha, okay."

In these last moments, she wanted to accompany Mei for a while...

Chapter 532: Ai Lishiya: Are you ready for today’s heroine?

"Hehe, I know Mei is the best to me?"

The collision of the teacup and the saucer made a pleasant sound, and the rising mist danced freely, adding a bit of elegance to the conversation between the two.

They were like friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, discussing their current life situations and telling stories that they hadn't been able to finish in their hasty farewell.

But...this time the narrator and the listener switched positions.

"Wow, Kiana... what a brave child! And, just from Mei's description, she's so cute."

Alicia and Mei were sitting together in the lounge of the Paradise of the Past.

On the table in front of the two of them were cups of different characteristics, as well as a tray of snacks.

And of course... the Chalice of Eden.

And a teacup decorated with azure butterflies...

"You're so mean to quarrel with a girl like this, Mei!"

"Yeah... yeah... I know. So, we have seriously reconciled."

Facing Alicia's scolding, Mei honestly reflected on herself.

Then, Alicia propped up her rosy cheeks and continued to talk about other people.

"Bronya is also amazing. She took the initiative to choose to become a Herrscher... In our time, this is something that we can't even imagine."

"That's all thanks to you."

In response to Mei's praise, Alicia was quite humble.

Or perhaps, she is well aware of the greatness of human beings.

"I'm just the beginning of that one percent. Look at your class leader, "Fu Hua"... Such a long life, so many ups and downs - it can't be summarized by the name "Hua" anymore, right?"

"Besides, there's also the Herrscher of Knowledge, hahahahaha, I really want to meet her!"

"As for the Ruler of the Void, the Ruler of the Wind, the Ruler of the Falling Ice, the Ruler of the Domination, including the Ruler of the Corrosion..."

Alicia recited the names of her fellow humans—these losers, these enemies who had passed away one after another.

She expressed her regret.

"I regret that they, in various forms, ended up standing against humanity..."

"But even their 'evil' and 'hatred' stem from the true nature of human beings."

After understanding Alicia, Mei gradually began to think like Alicia.

"Compared to the Herrschers of that generation, they are no longer empty shells controlled by Honkai."

"Thank you for telling me this. I am really happy to hear about the changes that the new generation of people have achieved."

However, as they were talking, Alicia suddenly asked Mei a question.

"But of all these stories, do you know which one moved me the most, Mei?"

"I don't think I'll get any serious answers."

After spending many times together, Mei gradually became able to get along with Alicia.

She is no longer the irresistible newcomer when we first met.

But Alicia, just like at the beginning...

"Then I won't tell you, okay?"

"I want to know. Tell me, Alicia."

Hearing Mei's confession, Alicia smiled.

“Hahaha, the answer is… ‘every paragraph’. Really, it’s a very long story.”

"After all, it encompasses the whole of Purgatory, doesn't it?"

Mei also laughed.

"Even if the future cannot be changed, I will decide the process to reach that result myself."

"What matters is what I want to believe in during this journey; that determines what I will get when I reach the end."

"We are turning the message you left me into reality. Ai Lishia."

"......Ha ha."

Hearing Mei's confession, Alicia smiled charmingly.

"You've become quite mature, Mei."

"How about it, I didn't disappoint you, did I, Senior Alicia?"

Mei said with a smile, compared to before - she seemed more humble and polite.

The current situation made Mei Yi become angular, but Alicia smoothed her edges and corners, making her still retain the softness of a girl...

"Haha, that's right. After all... I met some very good seniors."

"I am very happy that I chose to step into the paradise of the past and witness your story. This story touched me, made me grow, and finally became a part of myself."

With a grateful heart...Mei told Alicia about her feelings.

"And I will continue to pass on your deeds and will, so that generations after generations will know that there was once a group of people like you who lived a vigorous and brilliant life."

“It’s not just the story of Yingjie, but also the story of Kiana, the story of Bronya, the story of Fu Hua… the story of all those people who have tried their best for beautiful things.”

As she spoke, Mei couldn't help but laugh again.

"Who told me that I'm surrounded by these "idiots" who don't think about themselves?"

“I hope that more people can be moved by this story—that they will have the fortitude to face this complex world and the courage to make decisions that they can live with.”

"But...as a Herrscher's ideal, isn't this a little too simple?"

In the face of Mei's true confession, Alicia still smiled charmingly.

"Isn't the reason for the existence of "Paradise" just as simple? Mei has already been one of the "heroes"."

"Thank you, Alysia. Unconsciously, I have been influenced by you and changed a lot, just like the heroes. So, this is your true power, right?"

In response to Mei's question, Alicia did not give a positive answer.

After all, even now, she only had a vague idea of ​​what she could do.

But this is also what is unique to humans, the uncertainty and enthusiasm for the future...

"Maybe... if that's the case, Mei must have the same ability now."

"I'm also surprised that I started to think about these issues. I never thought that I would have such a day. Looking back... I guess I took a lot of detours."

At this moment, Mei looks back on the past and can't help but feel that it's like a dream.

After all, when she was fighting with Kiana on the rooftop, she didn't expect that she would return to Kiana again in the end.

I never expected that I would have the honor to learn all about the Thirteen Heroes.

It is learned that at the last moment of the last civilization era, a group of people sacrificed themselves to save mankind.

Although they ultimately failed, the legacy they left behind serves as a beacon for future generations...

"Mei. Human growth is never achieved overnight. The significance of those confused and lost days is precisely to make us start thinking."

"No matter if it's happiness or pain, everything comes together to make Meiyi the mature and strong one she is now. So, please accept all of yourself - because the people who like you will like your shortcomings as well."

Mei readily agreed to this.

"I promise you."

"Haha? Then...are we going to set off?"

The girls' tea party has come to an end...

Although Alicia was still smiling, Mei and everyone else in the live broadcast room couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate, feeling heavy-hearted...

"......Yes. I will become the Herrscher of Origin and complete the mission I should complete."

However, facing Mei's solemn assurance.
