Chapter 286​ Himeko's funeral

Moon Halo " rang out again in the rolling list of credits behind the scenes .

Listening to the song, everyone in the live broadcast room got into tears and remained silent for a long time without speaking.

In the last scene, Himeko's gentle smile disappeared in the flames, like a brand, firmly engraved in the depths of their minds.

Unspeakable sadness spread in their heart, but this sadness was not so painful, but more like melancholy and regret.

It's like a good friend of mine is about to leave for a distant place.

Himeko didn't lie to everyone, she would turn into a star in the sky and keep looking at Kiana.

" Woo ... Teacher Himeko ... Su Mu, was that just Kiana's hallucination? "

Elysia wiped away her tears and looked at Su Mu with tears in her eyes and asked.

" No, she is Himeko. "

Su Mu shook his head.

Although many people in the previous life thought that Himeko was just a phantom imagined by Kiana, just like the one in the meteor in the sky.

But it's not.

As long as you think about it carefully, you can understand that the afterimage of Himeko's consciousness in the haste gem actually did not disappear when Kiana left that world, but always remained there.

Therefore, the shadow of Himeko that Kiana finally saw was actually the last image of Himeko's consciousness in the haste gem.

" It's great ... She could see Kiana grow up now. Teacher Himeko must be very happy when she leaves ..."

Elysia cried and laughed, her body shaking, and finally she threw herself into Eden's arms for comfort.

" Su Mu, what kind of Herrscher is Kiana's new form? "

Eden asked curiously.

After all, Kiana is now in a quad-core state, so it's really hard to tell the difference.

" She is ... the Herrscher of Shining Flame. " [TL/N: Flamescion]

Su Mu replied word for word.

" The Herrscher of Shining Flame ... It is indeed a very appropriate name. "

Eden had an expected expression on his face.

" Wuwuwu ... Kiana, my Kiana ... what she shouted just now makes my heart break ..."

The cat cried again and again, and the tissues she brought were running out.

In the past, some people always said that women are made of water. Su Mu didn't believe it at first, but now from Bronya and Pardofelis, he has learned the lesson. It is true that the ancients did not deceive me.

It's just that cats' water is filled with tears, but Bronya is a bit special.

The Bronya next to her was also shedding tears silently. She swore that she would never come here again next time!

She originally wanted to be a tax evader, but in the end, Su Mu took all the fun away. She still overestimated her mental endurance. She was still incomparable to a standard veteran crew member like Su Mu, and was directly injured by accident. The defense is broken.

" Brother Kalpas, do you want some paper? "

Su Mu took a piece of paper and handed it to Kalpas.

Although everyone was watching the animated short just now, so no one noticed Brother Kalpas secretly shedding tears, but Su Mu, who had been paying attention to everyone's faces, how could he not notice this detail?

To be honest, he really didn't expect that he could actually make Brother Kalpas cry.

It seems that the final blow of the animated short film is indeed astonishingly lethal.

"... Do you want to die? "

Kalpas's body froze slightly, and after a while, he looked at Su Mu coldly with his eyes that could kill.

" Hehe ~~ Brother Kalpas, you don't want everyone to know that you cried just now, right? "

Su Mu smiled evilly, walked up to Kalpas, and whispered to him.

" ….."

Kalpas's eyes were even colder, and the eyes under the mask revealed a fierce light. If the person he was looking at at this time was Pardofelis, I am afraid that Pardofelis would be frightened and faint!

But Su Mu was not afraid at all.

Not to mention that his physical fitness after getting the body strengthening potion is no less than Kalpas, not to mention that he also knows that Kalpas just looks scary, but he will never take action against a friend.

[Ah ... I'm almost exhausted ... I haven't cried as much in my life as I did while playing Honkai Impact III. ]

[Who says it's not? I was naughty when I was a child, and I didn't even cry when my mother whipped me with a note. As a result, I cried like a fool today ... ]

[The skill of the old thief swordsman is really getting stronger and stronger. When Himeko appeared in the end, I think it was impossible for anyone to hold back and not cry, right? ]

[But having said that, Kiana's new form is really handsome, and she borrows her powers from her companions. Bronya helped her tie up her ponytail, Fu hua made her an armor, and Himeko lit her cloak ... It was so romantic. ]

[Urgent, urgent, urgent! I am the King of Urgency! I can't help but want to draw Herrscher of Fire right away! ]

[This should be Chong Chong's strongest form, right? Directly use the four-core sword to become invincible in the world! ]

The audience in the live broadcast room were crying and excited. Various discussions made the live broadcast room abuzz and couldn't stop at all.

" Ellie, are you feeling better? "

Seeing that Elysia's crying had gradually stopped, Su Mu quickly asked with concern.

" Well ... much better. This animated short film is really great. I think it is my favorite among the animated short films so far. "

Elysia took out a tissue to wipe away her tears. Seeing that Su Mu was still caring about her, her heart warmed and she smiled sweetly at him.

" Well, if nothing is wrong, let's continue playing the game. "

Su Mu urged.

" ….."

Elysia's smile suddenly froze on her face, and then her cheeks suddenly bulged up like a hamster, and she looked at Su Mu angrily.

Fortunately, she thought Su Mu was caring about her. After working on it for a long time, it turned out that this guy was urging her to continue pushing the plot!

" Wait ... my good Su Mu, is there more tragedy ahead? "

Elysia asked with lingering fear.

She has cried enough today, and there is really not a drop left!

" Don't worry, there is no more knife. All that's left is some ending plot. Let's get over it quickly. "

Su Mu said sincerely.

" ….."

It would be okay if Su Mu didn't say that. As soon as he said that, Elysia suddenly became more vigilant.

But no matter what, the plot must still be promoted.

So Elysia hesitated for a moment, but still had the courage to go to the execution ground and played the game again.

After the animated short film ended, in the collapsed theater, Kiana held the Xinyan sword and pointed it directly at the kneeling puppet in front of her.

[ " You lost. " ]

She calmly announced the outcome of the battle.

[ " We lost ... yes, we lost ... but what did we lose to? " ]

The doll doesn't know why they lost to Kiana.

They envy Kiana for being able to win every time. No matter how desperate the situation is, she can single-handedly avert danger.

And they obviously have a thousand companions, but they can't do anything.

In this regard, Kiana said that what connects them is not ideals or trust, and they are not called companions at all.

Finally, the Herrscher of Dominance seemed to be moved by Kiana. It said many things that it would never say before, let alone think about.

[ " But people's malice will not disappear, Kiana ... There are still many tests left for you ..." ]

It seemed to be the last warning left to Kiana. After the Dominator Herrscher finished speaking, his voice became a little confused as if he had seen something.

[ " Ah ... he's here ... the golden thread has already wrapped around my body ..." ]

The doll lowered its head, said no more words, and quietly waited for its end.

Looking towards the bowed puppet and towards the theater where the curtain call had ended, Kiana swung her sword——

" It's finally over ... it feels like it's been a long time. "

Elysia took a deep breath. Although she finally saw Kiana kill the Herrscher, unexpectedly, she didn't feel much joy at this time, only a touch of sadness.

Maybe it's because of the last words of the Herrscher, or maybe it's the sadness brought by the animated short ...

Anyway, it's all over.

The story ends with a beautiful ending.

Kiana emerged from her cocoon and transformed into a butterfly, becoming the new Herrscher of Fire.

But the Queen and Himeko also completely left this story called Honkai Impact III.

I don't know whether it was intentional or a coincidence, but the Queen and Himeko, the two people who once had a duel in the last lesson, now exited together in the main story Chapter 25 after nearly two years.

This is like the ending of the original battle that came nearly two years late.

" The Lawrs of Dominance ... They are really just a group of pitiful people, pitiful people who live in malice ... Is this what is called, must there be something hateful about pitiful people? "

Eden said with emotion.

" But what did the Herrscher's last words mean? Who is ' he ' ? And what is the golden thread? "

Pardofelis asked with some confusion.

" I don't know, but Herrscher Dominator is definitely dead now. "

Elysia shook her head,

" Even if there are any accidents in the future, they probably won't appear again. "

Then, the game continues.

A few weeks later, a broken sword appeared on a white cloth and flowers.

[ " Today we are here to commemorate a common friend and an eternal hero. " ]

Theresa stood in front, looking solemnly at everyone present.

The atmosphere was solemn and quiet.

As Teresa slowly narrated, the life of Wuliangta Himeko unfolded before everyone's eyes like a scroll.

[ " .... It is such a teacher who taught us the meaning of companionship, the meaning of fighting, and the meaning of ideals. He also taught us the meaning of beauty. " ]

[ " There is no better teacher than her. " ]

After speaking, Theresa placed a bottle of good wine on the marble table.

" Is this ... holding my funeral? "

In St. Freya's dormitory, watching Theresa tell her story with a solemn face, and then put the wine in front of the broken sword, the corner of Himeko's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

She never dreamed that a woman like herself, who had never even been in love, would one day see her own funeral!

This is too fucked up!

" Pfft—— ! "​

Theresa couldn't help laughing.

Although this was a very sad and serious scene, she couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Himeko herself.

" Hahaha, Himeko, how do you feel when you see your own funeral? "

Kallen burst into laughter, patting Himeko on the shoulder and laughing so hard that she couldn't close her legs.

" Uh ... I just want to push that brat Su Mu to the ground and rub him. "

Himeko faintly expressed her feelings.

This brat, it's okay to write herself to death, at least she died in a grand manner, but what's going on with this funeral!

She hasn't even experienced a wedding, so she has experienced a funeral first, right? !

" Hahaha, be open-minded, after all, not everyone can have this kind of experience. "

Kallen comforted with a smile.

If that's any consolation.

" That's right, look, I also gave you a bottle of good wine. "

Theresa grinned.

" That was my own wine! "

Himeko said angrily.

Fortunately, there was no body of her own in this funeral, otherwise it would have been even weirder.

Fortunately this was just a game, otherwise she would have had to go up and take a photo with her own tombstone ~~

Afterwards, Kiana also walked up, said a few words, and also left her own things on the marble table.

That's the empty serum.

It was proof that Himeko had saved her.

Then, everyone stepped forward and left their own memories.

The wind is praying, and people are immersed in the past, with few words until the end.

The clouds in the sky disappeared without knowing when, until the stars filled the night sky, this night, Kiana had no dreams for a long night.

And late at night after everyone left, Mei quietly came to Broken Sword.

She presented a bouquet of flowers to the stone platform and bowed.

[ " ... Thank you, Teacher Himeko. It is my honor to be your student. " ]

Finally, she disappeared into the starry night.

" Sure enough, Mei is here too. "

Seeing Mei finally appear late at night, this was expected and reasonable.

As Himeko's student, how could Mei be absent.

It's just that she still doesn't seem to have the courage and determination to meet Kiana and others.

" This child Mei is always gentle at heart. "

Himeko smiled and suddenly felt that it would not be bad if these familiar people could lay flowers at her funeral a hundred years later.

" I just don't know when Mei will come back to ' us ' . "

Theresa sighed and said with some melancholy.

" Wait a minute, Mei's purpose in going to World Snake is to capture the Herrscher before Kiana and take away their Herrscher core, so that Kiana will no longer be involved in danger. "

At this time, Yae Sakura seemed to have remembered something, and her expression couldn't help but become a little weird.

" But now Kiana has defeated the Herrscher of the Void and has become a Quad-core Herrscher ... Then isn't Mei's current situation very embarrassing? "
