Orchid Night Lights: A Happy Ending?

This time, traveling has a purpose.

But this time, travel isn't normal...

you looked at the list of names, and two of them made you hearth jump! Their names were really weird: Jormungandr's "Vodka Whirlwind" and Schicksal's "Vodka Sword Master.".

It was super obvious—these people definitely don't belong in this world. Nobody here has names like that!

Something tells me this wasn't an accident. It's got to be those two troublemakers.

I started thinking about Pink and Blue, those two silly kids who are always jumping around.

Did they... did they create another trap?

Lock the target, and then you start the next journey. The anchored timeline is the time period following Huodou's defeat.

In this long journey of time, you are bound to be reincarnated an infinite number of times.

However, what we are pursuing is always our first and final starlight.

In the long night, the starlight is always waiting above you.

Even though she will soon discover that the whole world is her enemy,

"Uh, why is there still something about the two of us?"

Rozaliya rolled on the bed in dissatisfaction, barely squeezing out a few tears from her big eyes to show weakness. "We haven't done anything yet!"

Liliya also nodded her head in approval. "That's right. That's right. We didn't do anything."

"This time, we, the vodka girls, have definitely been wronged!" Rozaliya spoke solemnly, her eyes bright as stars.

But that didn't stop Bronya from sighing and Seele from grabbing them, one in each arm, and carrying them away.

Before leaving, she left one sentence:

"Bronya will fulfill her responsibilities as a sister and take good care of her two sisters."

Immediately, Kiana cast sympathetic glances at the two of them.

She bet there wasn't just a game video.

Bronya was probably mad about something else they'd done! Even if they hadn't done anything wrong this time, they were probably still in trouble.

Kiana couldn't help but think about how those two were always playing and running around.

It was amazing how they could bounce and play all day, even while carrying their big sister on their backs! She wondered how they didn't get tired.

It was pretty weird that in the game, they got into trouble for jumping around in all sorts of different worlds!

...

What a mess! It seems like wherever those Gemini twins go, fun and trouble always follow! They always get into some kind of wacky situation, like they were born to cause a little chaos.

And guess what? Even though they're always causing trouble, they end up becoming super-important people in different countries. They're like second-in-command and even generals! Now, they're on a special mission to the Huang Empire.

But guess what? On the way there, they ran into a bunch of monsters attacking a village! The villagers were super scared and begged the twins for help.

The funny thing is, when the captain asked them what the monsters looked like, the twins couldn't really explain it. They only remembered a few blurry details!

"The villagers wore all black, even though their faces looked pretty normal. It was really weird because even though the sun was shining bright, they carried big, black umbrellas."

As they went from battle to battle, the twins got closer and closer to this mysterious valley. Then, without warning, they got totally separated from the rest of the army!

Wait a minute. Were both armies lost? That seemed a little crazy.

It felt impossible! How could two whole armies get lost in the same valley at the exact same time? Was this some sort of strange coincidence?

...

"This description... doesn't it look like a gray snake?"

Raven did not wear a hood this time. Instead, she came to the MiHoYo company in professional attire to report. When she saw the video watched by her boss, Su Lu, she subconsciously complained.

to be out in the sun for a long time. She shrugged habitually, and then she discovered that her chest was swollen, and she was not used to it.

It has to be said that being too plump can be a hindrance in battle. The flame-chasers who captured her last time did not have such troubles.

Although she said that, she was actually a little disgusted with the other person's gaze. It was a little too intense and felt wrong.

"Come on, are you our new colleague? You look exactly like the raven in the game."

Su Lu said with a smile on her face, a professional fake smile on her face. She really wanted someone to share the pressure with her.

"By the way, you're cosplaying, right?"

Raven's lips were tight, and her eyes wandered a bit. She wasn't sure if the company boss knew all about Honkai Impact.

She'd already given up fighting, but how much was she supposed to tell her?

"It must be cosplay, right?"

Su Lu tilted her head slightly, sweating a little on her forehead. He couldn't really be the kind of mercenary who professionally kills people in the game, right?

"Ahem, let's continue discussing how Gray Snake plays the villain role in every event, right?"

Raven didn't want to answer directly, so she tried to change the subject to her old boss instead.

"It seems like a waste of time to make new villains with every event. Plus, that Gray Snake model just looks like a bad guy from the very start!"

Su Lu gave Raven a long, careful look. She started to get a bit suspicious, remembering all those special outfits and the weird idol contest.

Then she added, "Those were my boss's exact words, by the way."

"Haha—this guy, Gray Snake, really has an excellent temperament when it comes to being a bad guy." Raven simply agreed.

...

"Why is it such a coincidence?"

Kongming's right hand paused for a moment, then she raised his fan horizontally and looked at Luo Mo with doubt.

Things weren't going the way she thought they would, and she didn't understand all the crazy stuff happening behind the scenes. She loved figuring out tricky plans, and it just didn't make sense that all of this was just an accident.

"Hmmm, something's definitely wrong with this story," Theresa agreed. She spun around on her stool and looked at everyone with big, confused eyes. Then she grumbled.

"And who dresses like those villagers? Only those two silly twins wouldn't notice something so strange."

"Maybe the world just works in mysterious ways. Even if it doesn't seem likely, strange things can happen sometimes," Luo Mo said, patting Luna's head.

He didn't want to tell them the whole truth just yet.

But smart people will understand what he means, while those who don't know will remain confused.

Kongming understood what he meant, even though he wasn't saying everything. Her thoughtful frown showed that she was starting to figure things out.

Theresa still had doubts on her face, and she even felt that the other party was playing tricks on her. Especially when she saw the smile on the corner of Luo Mo's mouth, she became even more resentful.

"If you don't want to say it, just say it. You are really a stingy person."

"You obviously don't understand it yourself, but you still blame him?" Kongming retorted, dissatisfied.

"You two are in the same group, right?"

Theresa looked at Kongming, who was speaking for Luo Mo; her eyes turned back and forth between the two of them, and her expression became even more ugly.

She was just complaining. Is the other party so anxious to protect her calf?

"Yup, we're a team!" Kongming nodded with a mischievous smile.

She believes that Theresa is also very interesting.

Theresa kicked her stool away, crossing her arms with a big huff! She decided to ignore those two meanies behind her.

How dare they make fun of the principal!

But then she sighed. Well, maybe, just this once, she wouldn't hold it against them. After all, Luo Mo has been a big help, and even bad guys can do nice things sometimes.

This time, you brought back the survivors from the reinforcements, Rozaliya and Liliya.

Different from the last time, this also makes it possible to no longer talk about rumors that are unfounded.

Even though they were super confused when they first arrived and heard that the Pirate King and Hero King didn't send help or that the two countries fought against Huang together...

That doesn't mean they're dumb! You've met both of them, and you know they're really smart.

Maybe now that they're here, everyone can finally sit down and talk about what really happened last time.

If you want to save more than just Kongming and Rita,

There were also Himeko and Fu Hua, but the first time, your power was too weak, and you were pathetically weak, so you could only watch.

Sure enough, after two survivors appeared, they barely had room to speak.

Kongming explained everything that happened, even the scary parts.

It turned out that the Huang Empire didn't get hurt as badly because she put up a huge formation a long time ago. But even that strong formation could barely stop one attack!

When the twins, Pink and Blue, explained why the reinforcements never came, everyone got confused. They looked at each other suspiciously, wondering what really happened.

Of course, she also knows the current situation of the coalition forces.

She didn't come to yell at anyone. Instead, she wanted to make a deal. The Huang Empire was willing to offer a lot of help! To help everyone rebuild, they would provide houses, food, supplies, and even new technology.

She explained everything carefully, trying to make them see that fighting a war wouldn't make things better.

According to their analysis, even if they capture the Huang Empire, will the situation be better than it is now?

The Pirate King and the Hero started to think about it, but they still held their weapons tightly. After all, their missing soldiers hadn't been found yet, and her words are empty.

You remembered some stories you'd read, and you started to really worry. How would everyone fight off the monsters if they appeared again?

So, you decided to tell them a half-truth—that Huodou was just a warning sign, and that more monsters might show up later. This made them think hard!

After lots of discussion, everyone decided to put their weapons down and sign a peace treaty.

Kongming also breathed a sigh of relief, but when you returned to Bright Moon City, an unexpected reminder came to mind. The voice of Ms. Iron Fist, which you had never paid attention to, appeared in your mind.

There are □□ seconds left, and the transfer will be released soon.

"Whew! I'm so happy Kongming is safe now. And Rita too! What a great way to end things," Kiana said, stretching her arms high above her head.

She loved a happy ending! Even though she was tired from the adventure, she couldn't help feeling a little bouncy inside.

Mei looked at Kiana and felt her cheeks warm. "Kiana, did you remember to finish your homework?" she asked.

Mei noticed how Kiana's shirt rode up just a bit when she stretched, showing a tiny sliver of skin. Mei wondered how it would feel to touch...

Would it be soft? Suddenly, she imagined Kiana playfully teasing her, sneaking up at night to tickle her. Wait, Mei, how can you think about this?

"Nope! I need Teacher Mei to help me first," Kiana said with a playful smile.

Sometimes Kiana acted silly and didn't like to work, but she also loved it when Mei got serious.

Mei looked so smart with her glasses on! It made her seem a little strict, like a real teacher.

Kiana liked Mei's normal sweet and friendly side, but it was also fun to see her get all serious and focused.

BUT The truth was, Kiana liked Mei no matter what!

Mei smiled as she cleaned up the table.

She didn't mind when Kiana got a little cuddly. "Hey, why were you laughing and crying all at once during that game we played?"

Mei asked. "Did that sneaky game boss really make the story that way again?"

Kiana was a little hesitant, not knowing how to speak, but soon her eyes became firm and she spoke decisively.

"Mei, it's very sweet. Let's play and see. Come on, come on."

You woke up, and this time you were right in front of the big hall in Bright Moon City! It was Chinese Valentine's Day, a special day for love.

While rushing to find Kongming, you felt a wave of relief when you saw Theresa, Rita, and Kongming were all safe and sound.

But then something else made you jump—everyone in the room was surprised to see you!

Kongming glanced at you sideways and said, "You iYou left without saying goodbye, but you didn't even let us know when you came back?

"The captain left without saying goodbye. Shouldn't he notify the Criminal Department to prepare and give him a good education?"

"Water torture, shackles, court staff... Ms. Kongming, which one do you think should be used?"

Prime Minister Rita looked at me with a smile. The maid always had bad intentions, but what was even more frightening was that Ms. Kongming stood aside and looked very interested.

You wiped the sweat from your face, not doubting that the two most powerful people could do this.

But you didn't think you deserved it!

Seeing you so nervous, Kongming snorted and said she'd let it go this time.

Theresa chuckled and said, "Does Mr. Stargazer really not care? She was clearly stamping her feet in anger just now in the room."

"That's absolutely not the case!" Kongming corrected.

Everyone made sure that Kongming had a super special day for the festival! Before the big celebration, there was even a fun game.

Theresa dressed Kongming in a fancy outfit, and then she put on a special outfit herself, with a pretty flower in her hair.

"Hey, Captain! Can you guess which one is the real Ms. Kongming?" Rita asked with a mischievous grin.

You looked carefully at the two girls. They both looked exactly the same! One was wearing Kongming's normal clothes, and the other was dressed in a beautiful outfit that matched the festive decorations.

You thought for a moment. If you guessed wrong, things could get a little awkward!

But even if you didn't say anything, you'd still be stuck, right? How were you supposed to guess?

Luckily, they didn't want to make things too hard for you, and they finally told you the answer!

Kongming was wearing a special outfit, made just for Chinese Valentine's Day. She asked if it looked good, and when you said it did, she pretended not to care about your answer.

Well, everyone smells tsundere.

St Freya

"You... what are you looking at me for?" Kongming covered her face with a feather fan and spoke with shyness.

"Watching the game, it's not over yet!"

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect you would have that kind of moment." Theresa clicked her tongue in surprise, staying on her body for a long time.

"Hmph!" Kongming turned her head away, but inside, she wasn't as annoyed as she seemed. She was already thinking about her next "big plan!"!

---

The evening sky was turning beautiful colors, and a cool summer breeze started to blow.

It was the perfect night for the Chinese Valentine's Day festival! Everyone was super excited, especially the girls who had gotten dressed in special outfits. You all went to the festival together to see the gorgeous lanterns.

People were everywhere, the streets were glowing with colorful lights, and three beautiful girls were by your side. It felt like a dream! You had to pinch yourself to make sure it was real.

But everything was going so well, and you were happy to just enjoy the moment.

Theresa and Rita were in charge of leading the Chinese Valentine's Day ceremony.

"What about us? Of course we're going to join the festival fun!" Kongming turned to you with a mischievous smile.

She grabbed your hand and pulled you straight into the middle of the excited crowd.

"Oh, the flower boat is a must-see item during Chinese Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, from this angle, you can only see the orchid lanterns hanging on the stern of the boat. I have seen the flower boat, though."

"Why don't I lift you up so you can see better?" you suggested.

Before you could finish, she gave you a playful swat on the shoulder!

"Hmph, I've seen the flower boat lots of times," she said, trying to act like she wasn't excited. But her eyes were sparkling!

"Oooh, look! Is that Fengjiazhuang's shop? I want red bean dumplings! And candied haws!"

"Three toffee dumplings, three orange sand dumplings, and one piece of that sweet-scented osmanthus cake... with extra sugar on top!" Kongming knew all the best snacks and couldn't wait to try them.

"You bought so much; can you finish it?"

Ms. Kongming looked up at you, then pointed at a pretty cake shaped like a dragon and a phoenix. Her eyes sparkled like a little kid's.

"Sir, Mr. Assassin, I want that one! Please buy it for me," she said. It was funny how she kept calling you Mr. Assassin, even though you weren't hiding your identity anymore.

With a sigh, you went to buy her the cake, then watched as the girls ran happily from one snack stall to the next. For a moment, you missed the quiet girl she was before.

But... it would be kind of cute if she stayed like this...

"So, are you having a good time now?" Kongming asked with a mischievous smile.

"A good time? What are you talking about?" you asked, confused.

"You seemed so sad earlier. I couldn't help myself, so I decided to tease you a bit."

"You look so much happier! Were you really feeling down?"

She held up her hands, blowing on the hot snack she was munching on. The lantern light made her face glow, and she looked so carefree.

From choosing outfits to enjoying the festival lanterns, Kongming was finally acting like a regular girl!

The sweet smell of osmanthus flowers filled the air. Was it coming from Kongming, or maybe the delicious osmanthus cake she was eating?

Suddenly, you felt a wave of happiness. You wanted this moment to last forever.

This time, the stars in the sky may not go far.

[? ? Something's wrong; it's actually a happy ending; it suddenly feels unreal.

[Tears, did the screenwriter actually abandon evil and become good?] [Touching the heart]

[Don't get your hopes up.] This feels like a trick! [They're probably building us up for an even bigger twist!]

"Can't they just give us a simple happy ending? To be honest, I'm really liking this! ♪" Elysia smiled. She loved the unexpected twist and was super happy with the way things turned out.

"It feels like the story isn't over yet," Aponia said.

She always paid attention to even the smallest details, and she noticed that there were still some clues in the story that didn't make sense.

Plus, there were so many mysteries left unsolved! Who was Ms. Iron Fist? And what about that strange umbrella person,F who seemed to make coincidences happen? There were still so many unanswered questions!

"Oh, come on, Aponia! Isn't it great when things work out like this? Don't you love a happy ending? ♪" Elysia sighed.

She could tell that someone else wasn't completely happy with how the story ended.

Someone was probably thinking about all the characters who died.

Honestly, more important characters died in this side story than in the main story!

"Hmmm, you're right," Aponia answered with a little smile. She knew that Elysia liked the ending, and that was important.

"But what you said makes sense. Really, Luo Mo is such a bad boy."

Elysia replied, pretending to be annoyed.
