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

"No. I swear to the moon, that was all the result of Kiana's own efforts."

Mei assured this righteously.

Although this sentence is no different from swearing to the sky, it is a disguised admission.

"Mei——"

"Haha. By the way, although I don't like playing games as much as you do, I also know... from hopscotch and cat's tuck to football, basketball, go, chess, and of course all kinds of "electronic products."

Mei expressed her thoughts on the game at this moment.

The reason why she had such a profound insight was probably due to her feelings after playing the ultra-large-scale real-life holographic simulation game of the previous civilization - Paradise of the Past.

“No matter how many years have passed, how many types have been derived, and how many iterations have been made... the original intention of inventing games has always been to allow people who play games to experience a certain emotion.”

“This emotion can come from ‘winning’, from ‘passing a level’, or from ‘playing the game itself’.”

“And I just hope that… when someone who is obsessed with winning or losing is immersed in the game and works hard for it to a certain extent, he or she can gain the simplest happiness from the game.”

It has to be said that Mei's words are closely related to her experience of going to the paradise of the past life and obtaining the spiritual inheritance of the heroes.

After all, the main function of language, text, pictures, animation, and games is to convey information.

As Alicia once said: "This story contains pain and failure, betrayal and separation, but also happiness and joy, tenderness and touching moments. Sadness will not disappear out of thin air, but warm feelings will always be treasured in the heart.

What we should pass on to future generations should not be just hatred and mission. Only by experiencing the glory of this era can future generations understand the meaning of what we are fighting for.

Cold knowledge and techniques should be taught in textbooks. What the heroes should pass on is the glory of being a hero and the reason to fight. "

Of course, although Kiana had also seen Mei's past in the paradise of the past, she now had a new perspective on these things.

"Then Mei is totally wrong."

"what?"

Mei was a little confused.

And what Kiana said next made her smile unrecognizable.

"If you play games by cheating, you will lose all the fun sooner or later. No... If you want me to have more fun despite my lack of ability, maybe there is only one way?"

"you mean......"

"Of course, let Mei join us!"

However, this made Mei feel more or less embarrassed.

It wasn't that she wasn't happy about it, but to be honest - she wasn't very good at playing games.

"Uh...I'm really not very good at this..."

"It doesn't matter. Since I'm on a team with Mei, I'll be happy even if I lose. Just like... the last time we had a snowball fight?"

Even though it happened some time ago, Bronya quickly remembered it.

And as a gaming master, she certainly would not admit defeat at this moment.

"Since Kiana has said so, Bronya will not let us off the hook in the future."

"Humph. Two against one, Mei and I are not afraid of you."

Kiana said stubbornly.

However, the fact is that she is indeed no match for a professional player like Bronya - one could even say a hacker.

Of course, these are just jokes among friends.

"Haha. After chatting about so many off-topic topics...I feel like I need to say something serious like Bronya did at the beginning."

Mei laughed when the two of them joked.

"Kiana, back then in the thought space, we said we would go home together."

"But now... although we can still keep in touch, still play games together every night, and everyone can come to the moon to see you in their spare time - but this is not the same as the real "home". "

When Mei said this, there was obvious regret in her expression.

Because it made her feel that she had finally broken her promise.

"Mei..."

Kiana was very touched...but for a moment she couldn't think of any way to comfort Mei.

Of course, at this moment, Mei is actually strong enough.

"It doesn't matter. I don't mean to criticize anyone. I just think that when people work and live on Earth in the future, they will inevitably look up at the sky.

I will miss you silently in my heart."

"After all, everyone thinks you're a very good friend. So, my message is actually - "Go home early, Kiana.""

Facing the message spoken by Mei herself, Kiana nodded heavily.

"......Um!"

"If you can help me in any way, please don't hesitate to help me."

Bronya also intervened in the conversation between the two again at this time.

Of course, Bronya should answer her questions more casually.

"Of course not!"

"To be honest, I'm already looking forward to working with the doctors of Anti-Entropy... Ah, the first group of people studying the End of the World data might also be Changguang?"

In response to this statement, Bronya couldn't help but complain about the ancestral problems of the Kaslana family.

"Shouldn't your first step be to learn how to cook?"

"Ah, this..."

As for this major problem, Kiana did the Kaslana family's ancestral action for a while, which was to scratch her head...

"Okay, let's save the jokes for next time. After all, Kiana still has one last job - no, should I say the "first job" to do, right?"

Mei helped Kiana out of the predicament at this time, and of course also reminded Kiana that she still had a lot of work to do next.

"That's true. But I'm suddenly a little worried that Kiana might get on the wrong bus, so...I'll trouble Mei-sister to take care of her again."

Bronya tactfully pushed Kiana to Mei.

As an old light bulb between the two, she also knows exactly what she should do at this moment.

"Bronya has other things to do, so she won't go over."

After saying that, Bronya turned around and prepared to leave.

But just before she was about to leave...

"Bronya!"

"Ok?"

Bronya, who was called, turned around and looked at Kiana and Mei.

"The first game we're going to play... remember to pick the most fun one!"

"Don't you still believe in Bronya's judgment?"

Bronya smiled and responded...

However, after turning around, she couldn't help revealing a sad expression of sadness and regret, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

I can't let her see me sad...

Maybe that's what she wanted to do.

"See you later, stupid Kiana."

After saying that, Bronya waved her hand.

In an instant, he disappeared into this pure white space...

After Bronya left, the only ones left were Mei and Kiana, the Herrscher of Origin and End.

Just as Bronya said, the farewell with Mei was left to the last...

"......Alas. I obviously have a lot more to say to you, but when the words come to my lips, I suddenly don't know what to say."

"I think I should ask Bronya for advice on this. Isn't she too cool?"

Before walking towards the graduation train, Kiana slowly sighed.

“We do have a lot to learn and a long way to go. Fortunately, we all have enough time.”

"Ah."

In response to Mei's response, Kiana hummed.

Then both parties continued to walk forward, and in almost an instant they arrived at the platform of the graduation station.

After arriving at the station, Mei turned to Kiana and said:

"But speaking of which...I don't think I've told Kiana about my future plans yet."

"Eh? Mei, do you have any clear ideas?"

Kiana asked confused.

"Hmm... I think I will choose "teacher" as my career."

"Like Himeko-sensei?"

Speaking of teachers, the first person Kiana thought of was Himeko.

"That's not necessarily the case. After all, I never drink."

After Mei finished speaking, she began to explain her teaching philosophy, or ideal.

"But... let me use flowers and fruits as an analogy. Every fruit is born from a lucky flower. It blooms, pollinates...after enduring the scorching sun, wind and rain, it finally becomes a new life."

“I will not worry about the ‘fruit’ itself, because it has already fulfilled itself on its own path. I will only pick up the ‘petals’ and give its remaining fragrance to everyone I meet along the way. I will tell them what kind of strong winds that flower has withstood and what kind of cold rain it has endured in order to nourish its world.”

Mei slowly spoke out her thoughts.

"As a being similar to it, I also want to use my small petals to protect the buds around me."

"——Until the world is full of flowers.——Until those flowers become a new life."

I have to say that this poetic expression is truly amazing.

Not only were everyone in the live broadcast room moved, but Kiana couldn't help but praise her.

"Wow! As expected of Mei, I can't think of such mature words."

Mei couldn't help but laugh at this.

"is it?"

“Who said, ‘This is a struggle launched by all mankind against fate’?”

Finale: Kiana, our journey will be a sea of ​​stardust.

"Uh, Mei--"

The train whistle interrupted the girls' chat.

It slowly drove into this station where no vehicle had ever stopped...as if calling out to those who were qualified.

The train doors opened.

In silence, they smiled at each other - just like the past and the future.

Then, what appeared on the screen was a scene of Kiana taking the train to the Cocoon of the End.

As the video screen with the title "Graduation Trip" slowly appeared, Kiana's graduation trip began.

“When a story comes to an end, we always remember its beginning.”

“It’s like everything is back to the way it was before.”

Kiana said, leaning against the armrest with her eyes closed.

At this moment, she was the only one on the entire train, and only she could accomplish such a feat.

"Like now."
