I write about collapse in my daily life

"Am I... quite disappointing?"

[No! Absolutely not! ]

[Yeah, how could we be disappointed in Alicia? ]

[Disappointment! So disappointing! How could Ellie think like that! How could she possibly disappoint others! If I made her feel uneasy, it must be my fault!]

[Looking at the first few words you said, I almost couldn't hold back my 40-meter-long sword.]

[Sorry, I can't hold it in, so just bury it with honor. ]

"I am really disappointed that you would think so."

Mei answered without hesitation.

"When you called yourself the deputy leader, I didn't take it lightly. Likewise... the Thirteenth Herrscher won't let me treat you any differently."

"Even if you become a Herrscher... so what? Am I not also a Herrscher?"

"Is this answer enough?"

Hearing Mei's affirmative answer, the pink-haired girl finally smiled beautifully again.

"Well... that's enough."

The girl who was always thought to have ulterior motives, everything she said and did in front of Mei, everything she revealed, perhaps from the beginning to the end, was just for such an [answer].

In the distant past, on that night when she was wearing pure white clothes and the only new makeup she would wear in her life, she walked towards the end of her life...did she get the [answer] she wanted?

Seeing this, the players couldn't help but recall their initial suspicions about Alicia, and the ending they had guessed about Alicia.

Their moods couldn't help but fall again. They didn't understand why their emotions were so easily affected by the plot, even though they had already been through a lot. (Referring to the fact that they had been stabbed many times.)

Looking at the beautiful girl with a smile as beautiful as a flower on the screen, everyone suddenly had an epiphany.

Perhaps, it was just because they loved this beautiful, innocent girl so much.

But the atmosphere feels a little off right now? Like there's going to be knives again?

However, the next second, as if knowing what the players were thinking, the plot immediately gave the players a reassurance.

“[Even if you become a Herrscher—]”

Suddenly, a strange sound was heard in the game. This sound was mixed with electronic noise and sounded somewhat familiar.

The background music that had been playing in the game and seemed to be so gentle and sad also came to an abrupt end.

"......Um?"

The familiar voice drew Mei's attention back. She looked in the direction of the voice. In the sunset, Alicia's smile was pure and sweet. The light sprinkled on her cheeks and flowed down along her fair skin...

Walking around her soft body, something vaguely appeared behind her. It was...

A loudspeaker.

There is also a recording function~?

The words that a certain scumbag pink-haired girl once said emerged in Mei's mind.

"[So what? Am I not also a Herrscher?]"

Meiyi has mixed feelings: "......"

Mei continued to endure: "............."

Mei gritted her teeth: "Alishia...!!"

【The little trumpet is still in C! 】

[So Ai Li recorded everything that Music just said? ]

[《There is also a recording function～?》]

[Good fellow, Alysia, you, a woman with a pink fur, deceived my feelings again! So you were pretending to be so sad just now, right? ]

[To be honest, am I the only one who thinks that Paddo lost a lot of money by selling only three crystal flowers for this speaker? ]

[This little trumpet is worth the same as the holy relic? ]

[Relic? This trumpet can probably be made into a divine key. You see, Ellie is the thirteenth Herrscher, so it makes sense to use her Herrscher core to make a divine key, right? It also makes sense to make the shape of this trumpet, right?

I have already thought of the weapon type, so I decided to make it a pistol. After all, there has been a sonic gun before, right?

Besides, just because the weapon type is a pistol, it doesn’t mean the wearer is using a pistol, right?

You are right, aren’t you? That Herrscher of Fire and Flame uses dual guns as his weapons, but actually uses a greatsword in combat?】

The surprise brought by the small trumpet immediately made the players, who were almost moved to tears, suddenly feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

What should they say? Is this really Alissa's style?

The atmosphere was already so lively, but Alicia's move ruined the whole atmosphere.

You are worthy of being me, Miss Pink Fairy.

However, many players reacted immediately. Perhaps this was because Alicia didn't seem to be making the atmosphere on the scene become sad.

But her behavior of recording Mei's voice was still too despicable.

"Okay, okay, I won't mess with you anymore."

The plot continued, and Alicia said that she would skip the previous topic.

"After all, Mei will leave after getting the answer, and I also want to leave some [memories] of you."

Alicia held the loudspeaker tightly in her hand and explained to Mei with a smile, but her eyes were looking towards the island shrouded in mist in the distance.

Looking at the word "tightly", the players no longer wanted to complain.

Their attention was drawn to Alicia's subsequent words.

"But... it's a bit strange. I'm already prepared, why is it still shrouded in [Mist]?"

Alicia told Mei that everything about the "banquet" was on the island, and she was also very curious about what happened that day.

This surprised Mei and the other players, but the players reacted quickly.

The current Alicia is just a memory. Since the real Alicia died at the dinner party, the memory naturally cannot know what happened at the dinner party that day.

Afterwards, the two of them walked towards the center again. On the way, Alicia felt that it would be great if she could have a chance to fight side by side with the Thirteen Heroes, which was something they had never done before.

Finally, Alicia asked Mei about her opinions on the memories of herself and others. At this time, the game also turned into Mei's first-person perspective, which made players feel that Alicia was asking themselves.

"No matter the forerunners who died long ago... they have nothing to do with us, [real existence]. We who remain here are just a part of the past, a shadow left in the past."

Players: “…”

Thank you for reminding us that the people in Paradise had already sent it. That’s a good reminder. Don’t mention it again next time.

"We can only stay here. We can't touch your reality, nor can we accompany you into the future."

“When you leave here and go back to normal, real life… you also know very well that everything that happened here is just a story, a [virtual] story.”

"It may not be long before you forget these things, forget these words, forget...our existence."

Alicia still had a beautiful smile on her face, but her voice was much lower and sounded a little sad.

"You will meet someone better than me, or maybe you have already met him. You have your own life after all, so embrace your tomorrow."

"In that case, do our emotions, our thoughts, our will, our actions... really have any meaning?"

"What do [us] mean to you, to anyone?"

The girl still smiled.

Chapter 557: Is Alicia dead?

"..."

Alicia's words made all the players fall into deep thought. They were not fools, so they naturally knew that this was the screenwriter of Honkai Impact 3rd, or in other words, the old thief was asking them questions through Alicia's mouth:

If you come across a better game with more charming characters in the future, will you forget Honkai Impact 3rd?

of course not!

The players gave their own answers one after another.

The Last Lesson, Meteors in the Sky, Elegy for Sinners, Crossing the Dust, Everlasting Flame, So Said Apokalis... Along the way, they have accompanied these girls through so much.

Those unforgettable stories seem to have happened just yesterday.

Maybe in the future there will be games that are more fun than Honkai Impact 3, and characters that are more charming than these girls. Oh, this is probably impossible.

In short, players will never forget Honkai Impact 3rd, a game that has brought them many touching moments.

Some players suddenly remembered the storybook that Alicia gave to Mei after unlocking all of Alicia's memories, the storybook titled "The Story Because of You".

Once, they thought that this 'you' referred to Mei, after all, this was a gift she gave to Mei.

But now, they understand.

This 'you' does not just refer to Mei, it can also be Alicia, the heroes, or perhaps... it is also referring to the players like them.

This story exists here because of them, and they are moved here.

Perhaps the characters in the virtual world cannot ultimately affect reality, but this feeling of being touched does exist.

It does not lose its meaning just because they may forget it in the future.

In the game, Alicia's question made players think for a long time.

Mei also thought about this question seriously, but she did not give a direct answer. Instead, she decided to think about it seriously again.

After finishing this topic, the sky had unknowingly darkened, so Alicia and Mei made an appointment to meet here again tomorrow morning.

At that time, she will find a way to open the road and go to the island, and then they will witness the birth and end of [The Thirteenth Old Thief] together.

Hearing what Alicia said, the players in the live broadcast room suddenly felt their hearts sink.

If nothing unexpected happened, they felt that Alicia was likely to have an accident.

What is the difference between Ai Lishiya's words and the flag of completing a family marriage?

Wait until tomorrow to go to the island?

Players can already guess that this island is most likely impossible to visit.

So, they still can't know any information about the Thirteenth Herrscher?

By the way, should we end the chapter here?

It’s not that players want Honkai Impact 3 to be discontinued, it’s mainly because they have been playing Honkai Impact 3 for such a long time, and any old player can probably guess when the plot of Honkai Impact 3 will be discontinued.

For example, now is a very suitable place to end the chapter.

But surprisingly, this time it didn't break! Not only did it not break, it even opened a new chapter.

[Hiss——Did the old thief take the wrong medicine? He didn't even take such a good opportunity to interrupt the chapter? ]

[The old thief is not going away. Why do I have such a dream? 】

[I have always been willing to assume the worst of the old thief, and everyone knows what kind of person he is. Based on what we know about him, does he look like someone who will turn over a new leaf and continue to make good?

No! So he must have other plans. For example, the reason why he didn't end the chapter here is because even if he did, we wouldn't have too much emotional fluctuations? 】

[Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly interested. Let me see where the old thief is going to break off.]

In the game.

After separating from Alicia, Mei began to wander around the paradise alone. While wandering, she was still thinking about what Alicia said.

After getting the answer, she will leave here.

Are you leaving soon?

Mei had never thought about this question before.

Mei continued to stroll around, perhaps because the journey to the paradise was about to reach its end, and Mei was thinking about remembering every scene in the eternal paradise during this last period of time.

Before she knew it, she met Hua.

During the casual chat with Hua, the two talked about the Yingjie system.

Hua Gaoshu Meiyi, in fact, although the Thirteen Heroes were rejected at first, the Fire Moth also gave a compromise plan, which was to allow Alicia to establish the Five Heroes.
