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

Qianjie just hummed and then had no more role to play.

“No wonder the cans are getting heavier…”

Hua sighed at this moment.

"No, Boss Kevin! If this continues...the can will turn into a pig!"

Paddo started yelling, causing Can to scream.

But Kevin did not respond.

"Boss Kevin, don't pretend you didn't hear me! No more canned food!"

At this time, Kevin was lying on the grass holding Mei's hand.

There are flowers blooming around them...

"Everyone seems to be talking about you, Kevin."

Mei reminded with a smile.

"...I don't know anything."

Although he knew it was a dream, Kevin replied in confusion.

"Is it okay... not going to everyone else's place?"

"It's quieter here. And..."

"and?"

Mei wondered.

"...I want to stay with you for a while longer."

Kevin spoke slowly.

"Me too."

I have to say, slow-witted boys are sometimes very charming.

May obviously liked Kevin's answer.

The scene of the two of them feeding each other dog food is truly enviable - it's a pity that this is the ending where both husband and wife 'return home'.

Of course, even in his dream, Kevin was satisfied.

Time just slipped away for a while.

"May. What were you thinking about when you were looking at the sky?"

"...The weather is nice? The view is wide and clear. I will definitely be able to see the starry sky at night."

Mei replied with a smile.

At this time, Kevin talked about what Mei had said.

"I remember you once said that all the stars in the sky are enemies."

"Yes. Those shining lights are beautiful but cruel. If we are not careful, they will swallow us all."

Mei still thinks so.

Of course, since this is Kevin's dream, it can be concluded that Kevin thinks she still thinks so.

The reason why Kevin mentioned this sentence that Mei once said is...

Now, after many years, he has a different view on this sentence.

"Yeah. I believed that, too."

"What about now? Have you changed your mind?"

Mei asked back softly.

"You are right. But... now I want to believe that those lights bring not only threats, but also... hope for the future."

Kevin used romantic rhetoric to give a new interpretation to May's hypothesis.

Mei chuckled at this.

"Hehe... I almost forgot that you are such a romantic person. Determined and brave, but unable to let go of that innocence."

"......Feel sorry."

Kevin apologized softly.

"No need to apologize, I like you just the way you are. That's why... we will leave everything to you."

Mei said this earnestly.

This is something Mei would indeed say.

At the same time, this is what Mei has always lacked from Kevin.

"Thank you for all your hard work."

"It's okay, this is what I should do. But...thank you."

Kevin's fifty thousand years of perseverance finally came to an end.

This consolation, which came fifty thousand years late, was the most satisfying reward for him.

Besides, he didn't want more.

"We are the ones who forced this burden upon you. You are so honest. If you want to thank us, why don't you say it to everyone in person?"

"Kevin—the barbecue is ready!"

Alicia's call interrupted the couple's conversation.

"If you don't come over, little Padu will eat it all~"

Weiwei also joined in the clamor and called out to Kevin.

"That's not the case! It's Sakura who eats the most!"

Although she was so confused that she couldn't speak clearly, Padu still habitually passed the blame to others.

Innocent Sakura was speechless for a moment.

"?"

After Sakura finished her simple question, Mei also urged Kevin to come.

"It just so happens that everyone is calling you. It's almost time to go."

"Yeah... time to go."

Kevin has no regrets about his companions' call.

He was waiting for this moment to come, which is why he has persisted until now.

"Don't worry. This time, I'll be with you. Everyone will be with you."

"We will never leave you alone again."

This belated consolation made Kevin feel satisfied.

"...Hehe...What a nice day."

There are thousands of feet of white clouds and endless blue sky.

When the shepherd boy has grown into an old man, he will once again hear those childish songs on the hillside.

[ I slept, I slept, ]

[I woke from a deep dream - the world is deep, deeper than the day imagined.]

The old man knew that behind the blue sky, there was a starry sky that he could not see. He remembered that the lion had said in his dream: "When you want to rise, look up. I look down because I have risen."

The old man's world had long died in happiness. Its pain was deep. Or, in other words, the beauty of that world lies in the happiness built with pain.

——And the young man who would not enter the cycle of reincarnation was walking past the old man.

The old man lay down and saw the eagle in the sky. This creature, like the young man, would not enter the cycle of reincarnation and would not let anyone see any of its wounds.

——After all, it always flies high.

The breeze blew the grass, and a pine cone rolled to the old man. It belonged to the spruce trees here, and it took thousands of years to grow into a resting place for the eagle.

——However, as trees, they never mind their scars. This is perhaps the most similar thing between them and old people.

The morning dew of love and hate, the hot sand of good and evil. When everything turns to memory, there are still people and trees, thirsting for love and the sunshine of a new day.

There are still new eagles soaring in places bluer than the blue sky.

The old man knew that there would always be people who questioned everything down there—[In their place, everything was talking, but no one would understand it anymore. Everything fell into the water, but nothing fell into the deep well anymore.]

[Everything is talking among them, but nothing is done well or to the end. Everything is clucking, but who wants to sit quietly in the nest and hatch eggs?]

[With them, everything speaks, everything is convinced. Yesterday, which was still very hard for time itself and its teeth, is cut up and bitten today and hangs on the lips of people today.]

[With them everything speaks, everything is revealed. What were once called the secrets and privacy of the deep soul are now trumpeted by street trumpeters and other idlers.]

But, it is in such a world... there is Ikaros and his sun.

"This world is left to you, Kiana."

The language and beliefs that Kevin wanted to convey have been passed on to those who came after him without reservation.

As a pioneer, as the first person to lead humanity against the collapse.

He never stopped fighting from birth to death.

Now, in these final moments, the man who had carried the world on his shoulders for fifty thousand years had finally fallen.

But - this is also his victory.

"......Um."

There were no extra words, because after reading Kevin's last dream, Kiana felt that he might not need too much comfort.

This may be the best destination for him.

"Not just me, but ... [everyone]."

She felt that she still had a lot to say to the other person, but she also felt that what she had just said was enough.

What she was going to do would be completely different from the other person; but their wishes were miraculously exactly the same.

It was an expectation - an expectation for "human victory".

After making up her mind about what she wanted to do, Kiana slowly approached the Cocoon of the End.

"Come to think of it... the last time we left here, we talked to Cocoon..."

"—Hey, are you listening?"

However, in response to Kiana's question, Jian did not convey anything.

"Strange... This time, there is nothing?"

"After all, the cocoon is just a mirror of you."

Just as Kiana was sighing, the Cocoon of the End once again emitted the melody of a sea monster from the abyss.

"The way you embrace humans is the way cocoon embraces humans."

"Of course. If you don't want to, I can beat you up right now."

"That's not necessary. You are already the only Herrscher of the End, the god of this world. And... the only successful hug.]

Compared to the negative impacts that the existence of the cocoon has brought to the world, it appears to be polite and courteous when talking to others.

It also confirms what it said, it is a mirror of Kiana.

Of course, such conversations are not a bad thing.

At least it saves Kiana a lot of unnecessary time and energy.

"Well, you better tell me how to get out of here."

"Go through the cocoon and you can land on the moon."

"Hyperion can take you back to Earth afterwards—but Cocoon doesn't recommend that."

At this moment, the Cocoon of the End has transformed from the ultimate boss hiding behind the scenes into a functional artificial intelligence that looks harmless.
