[Did Miss i just say "scriptwriter"?]
[She did. Sounded like she said miHoYo's scriptwriter!]
[miHoYo's scriptwriter? Hehehe~~ I've got a little sothing for him. I really want to thank him! (Knife)(Knife)(Knife)]
Sohow, word got out that Honkai Impact 3rd's scriptwriter had appeared in Elysia's livestream.
More and more people traumatized by Final Lesson flooded into the stream.
Together, they launched a barrage of condemnation at the scriptwriter.
The sheer intensity of their fury felt like it could sear across the internet cable to the person on the other end.
Even Raiden i had to lean back instinctively, distancing herself from the screen.
The girls all turned their eyes to Hokuto, wanting to see how he would react.
Hokuto did feel a little guilty, but he showed nothing on the surface.
He paused to think beside them.
Once i swapped her headphones for a microphone and turned on external speakers, she spoke into the mic in Otto's voice:
"Good afternoon, everyone. I'm miHoYo's scriptwriter."
[???]
[???]
At first ca waves of question marks, followed by a tidal wave of shocked yelling.
[Wait—did I hear that right? That was Otto's voice?! So Otto equals miHoYo's scriptwriter?!]
[No wonder the main story is so tragic. If Otto himself is writing it, I finally understand... Understand your ass! Otto, co at with a visible HP bar!]
[My kill-on-sight intent for Otto just spiked by 300%.]
[I never expected Otto's voice actor to also be miHoYo's scriptwriter. That's wild.]
Oh, there's plenty more surprises where that ca from.
i was miHoYo's illustrator, Bronya Zaychik was the programr…
As Hokuto silently complained in his mind, he adjusted his ntal state.
They were flaming Otto, not Hokuto. What's that got to do with him?
He smiled faintly and said, "It seems everyone has strong opinions about the main story."
Before the chat could respond, Elysia's voice ca through the speakers: "Should I call you Mr. Hokuto or Mr. Otto?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Hokuto was now certain—it was Elysia.
"All as you wish, beautiful Miss Elysia."
"My, Mr. Otto is unexpectedly charming with words."
Elysia offered polite banter before cutting to the point: "Then, Mr. Otto, regarding Final Lesson—do you have anything you want to say to the livestream audience, and to all Honkai Impact 3rd players?"
"Ahem."
Hokuto cleared his throat, preparing to speak.
Though being in Elysia's stream was unexpected, he had anticipated soone asking this question.
But then—
Tap—tap—
Soone stepped forward.
"May I speak to everyone instead?" Hiko offered proactively.
Hokuto looked at her for a mont, then nodded slightly. "You might be more suitable."
He made space for Hiko.
"Hello everyone, I'm Hiko."
[Holy—Hiko?!]
[Is miHoYo's entire voice cast having an offline etup or sothing?!]
[I bet Hiko's about to rage at the heartless scriptwriter!]
[LMAO, I fully support Hiko giving Otto a beatdown! Just imagining it already feels amazing.]
"Well, we get along just fine in real life."
Hiko replied with an easy tone at first, then paused briefly before continuing, her voice now calm and composed.
"Regarding Final Lesson, I have a lot I want to say…"
"I completely understand the desire to rage at the scriptwriter. But honestly, I think the character Hiko was written very well…"
Her voice wasn't loud or passionate.
She simply distilled Hiko's entire journey through the main story into her words.
Speaking each line with care—yet sohow captivating the entire audience.
In the end, she smiled and said:
"I'm very grateful to miHoYo for entrusting with such a character. Though she took her final bow, I do feel regret—but her story was truly wonderful."
[Miss Hiko is right.]
As the most agitated viewers began to calm down, the rational ones started speaking up.
One "Doctor" in particular took the lead, writing essay-length comnts—enough to make one question if she had twenty fingers.
[From a narrative standpoint, Hiko perfectly fulfilled her triple roles: ntor, teacher, and Valkyrie.
As a ntor, she stood tall when all the children had fallen, buying ti for everyone.
As a teacher, she led by example, delivering the perfect "final lesson" to Kiana and everyone aboard the Hyperion.
And as a Valkyrie, she faced powerful foes without fear. Even when confronting a 'god,' she fought to the last against the Honkai to protect humanity.]
[A mortal who stood shoulder to shoulder with the divine.]
Once the lengthy speeches had passed—
The casual viewers returned.
[So that's what a real pro looks like, huh?]
[Suddenly I feel out of place in this chat.]
[We're still raging in futility while the pros are already praising Hiko to the heavens. As a Hiko fan, I'm truly touched.]
[Now that I think about it… if not for Final Lesson, Hiko might've stayed a fairly average character. Still, the scriptwriter must die!!]
[Ugh, fine. I'm going to change my one-star review for Honkai Impact 3rd.]
...
Thanks to Hiko speaking from the heart, the players' fury began to subside.
The people at miHoYo Studio all breathed a sigh of relief seeing things cool down.
Kiana couldn't resist inching closer to Hiko, praising her, "Auntie Hiko, you're amazing!"
"I told you not to call Auntie Hiko!"
"..."
[Kiana's here too! This really is an offline gathering of miHoYo's voice cast!]
Hokuto blinked, planning to capitalize on the stream's attention with a bit of promotion.
He approached i, who was still seated, and said:
"Don't we still have one final CG short left? You can send it to Elysia now—let her show it to the viewers."
Hearing this—
i suddenly rembered.
She did have one unreleased thirty-second clip on hand.
"Mm, I'll send it to Elysia right now."
i tapped away on her chat app and sent the short video to Elysia.
Soon enough—
Elysia responded in the stream.
"Everyone, i just sent a short clip and asked to play it for you."
"i~ said it's just a very ordinary short video."
[Didn't miHoYo say their main story was heartwarming too? Miss Fairy, don't fall for it!]
[If I watch one more miHoYo short, I swear I'm a dog!]
"This is miHoYo's new short."
Elysia hesitated slightly. "Aren't you guys at least a little curious what it's about?"
