After Elysia finished speaking, she paused briefly before asking again:
"Will the next chapter be Bronya's story or Kiana's? Hmm, I like both of them so much."
"It's the continuation of the main story after Chapter 11," Hokuto answered.
"Oh~~ So Bronya's about to find Seele?" Elysia asked, slightly excited.
"At that ti, Elysia will not only see Seele, but also... please allow to keep it a secret."
Hokuto was genuinely curious about how Elysia would react when she saw the cold, aloof Kevin.
"Ah~~ Mr. Otto's arrangents have really looking forward to it, but..."
Elysia glanced at the still-quiet streaming chat. She didn't rush into Chapter 12's main story.
Of course, the reason she recovered so quickly wasn't because she was heartless, but because she had sensed sothing deeper.
So rather than sadness, she felt more of a quiet comfort.
Besides, she could still go hang out with the real Hiko~~
She had heard from Kiana that Hiko, once drunk, liked to strip, especially with Eden... cough cough.
"I'll take a short break for now. I'm feeling a bit tired from playing too."
That interlude just now was so tense it made her palms sweat.
Elysia grabbed a tissue and wiped the sweat from her hands.
Then she opened a chat app, curious about how far others had gotten in the Honkai Impact 3rd main story.
She tapped into a group chat.
But just before she typed anything, a sudden idea struck her.
Just after finishing the interlude in Honkai Impact 3rd, feeling quite moved, she renad the group.
What was it called before? Doesn't matter. What's important is the new na now...
[Group na changed to "Fla-Chasers."]
Eden: [Elysia, why did you change the group na?]
Elysia: [Eden doesn't like the new na?]
Eden: [Hmm, I don't mind. As long as you like it, Elysia. 💐]
Elysia: [My dearest Eden~♪]
Seeing Eden's reply, Elysia's bright eyes curved with joy.
She humd happily, then continued typing.
Elysia: [What does everyone think of the new group na? If you don't like it, I've got backups ready. @everyone]
Mobius: [Like what?]
The Mobius surfaced.
Elysia: [How about "The 13 Fla-Chasing Heroes"? (cute)]
Kevin: [...]
Hua: [...]
Mobius: [Heh, heroes? I think you an misfits. This group barely has any normal people besides .]
The Mobius began her rciless roast.
Mobius: [Also, Elysia, are you going to rank us next? And put yourself in first place?]
Mobius: [Oh~ and knowing you, you're probably giving yourself so fancy title too. Let guess...]
Mobius: [The Super-Beautiful, Super-Kind, Ultra-Pure Fairy Lady?]
Even through the screen, everyone could imagine Mobius's mocking tone.
Of course, Elysia wasn't affected by Mobius at all.
Elysia: [Aiya, I'm not that good, Mobius~~ You're making blush~~]
Griseo: [Mobius Auntie said it perfectly.]
Mobius: [...]
Mobius: [It's Mobius Onee-san.]
Griseo: [Bye Auntie, I'm going back to playing Honkai Impact 3rd.]
Mobius: [...]
Elysia: [Well then, seems no one has any objections to the new group na.]
Mobius: [Sure, sure~]
Kalpas: [It's just a group na. How co you all have so much to say?]
Kalpas: [Oh, it's because the one who never shuts up—Mobius—is here.]
A strange person suddenly appeared.
Mobius: [Never shuts up? Must be your stone necklace choking your brain so hard you can't comprehend .]
Mobius: [How sad. Still, I won't discriminate against you.]
Suddenly, the chatroom went quiet, like soone had flipped a switch.
Mobius: [...Oh? Are you mad?]
Kalpas: [Heh.]
Mobius: [Oh dear, soone's getting flustered.]
Kalpas: [Hahaha... You sure talk big, Mobius. But who's really the one getting worked up?]
The atmosphere grew increasingly strange.
Kevin: [Let's put an end to this bizarre conversation...]
Kevin: [Anyway, it's almost year-end. You can save this for the year-end party and talk it out in person.]
Kevin stepped in to break up the exchange between Mobius and Kalpas.
They were always like this when they ran into each other. Everyone was used to it.
Elysia followed Kevin's lead and tried to ease the mood.
Elysia: [Sigh~~ Can't believe another year has passed already.]
Elysia: [Speaking of which... even though Honkai is a terrible thing in Honkai Impact 3rd, the way it keeps beautiful girls eternally young is really enviable.]
Mobius: [Science can do that too~ Elysia, would you like to be my test subject?]
Elysia: [Eh~! Science is that advanced already?!]
Elysia was shaken!
Mobius: [Of course not. Our world doesn't have a miracle energy like Honkai.]
Mobius: [So the success rate of such experints would be... approximately 0%.]
Elysia: ???
Isn't that just no chance of success at all? Who would sign up for that?
...
While Elysia was chatting happily with the group—
On Hokuto's side, he glanced at the still-busy livestream, licked his dry lips, and got up to grab so water.
He was also a bit curious what the girls were up to outside.
According to miHoYo's current rules, during big main story updates, everyone was allowed to rest and relax—even skipping work if they wanted.
After all, they already worked hard enough and often did overti.
But in practice, they almost always still ca into the studio.
Hokuto got up, left the office, and walked into the common work area.
Theresa was passionately saying sothing to Kiana.
i listened while sketching rapidly on her drawing tablet.
Fu Hua glanced at her phone chat, then turned to Durandal beside her and asked, "Why do so people start arguing the mont they et?"
Durandal thought for a mont, then replied seriously, "It must be because they're very close."
"Oh, I see."
Fu Hua nodded thoughtfully, fully understanding. Then she began typing in the group chat.
Hokuto passed by them, gave a casual glance, and moved on toward Theresa and Kiana.
Theresa excitedly raised her slender arm and declared—
"Let's call her Astrologer!!"
