"Kiana, do you hate ?"
Hearing Hiko's lancholic voice, Kiana couldn't help but shiver, forcing an awkward smile.
"How could I? Professor Hiko? I respect you more than anyone."
"Don't call Professor Hiko. Is this how you show your respect—by casually making a mini-ga that kills off?"
"But the one who gets hurt the most is !"
Kiana protested indignantly.
"Professor Hiko, think about it carefully. Who does the story really hurt more—you or ? My heart still aches just thinking about it! It feels suffocating."
Hiko sighed. Upon reflection, she realized that while she did feel so pain, her heart ached more for Kiana in the story. She couldn't imagine the agony Kiana would feel when she woke up.
As for her own death in the story, Hiko wasn't too upset. After all... the ones who suffer are always the living. For a ga character, her death could be seen as a perfect conclusion.
Now, she had one question...
"Why did you suddenly decide to make this mini-ga?"
In Genshin Impact, they were just used as character models, but this ga directly used their nas.
Of course, Hiko didn't bother comnting on Kiana shalessly making herself the protagonist.
"It's all Fu Xuan's fault."
Kiana crossed her arms, annoyed.
"Fu Xuan said that to avoid the story collapsing and the ga flopping, we had to make another ga. I volunteered, but she doubted . So, of course, I had to prove my skills."
"And your way of proving yourself was to make a mini-ga inside Genshin Impact?"
"How is it? Isn't the ga good?"
"It is good," Hiko had to admit. Kiana really had talent when it ca to making gas. "But the ga is a bit too..."
Kiana interjected, "What do you think? Isn't it healthy, sunny, and uplifting?"
Hiko stared at her, speechless.
Healthy? Sunny? Uplifting?
From a narrative perspective, it was indeed healthy, sunny, and uplifting.
—But good luck convincing the players of that.
Just wait and see if the players buy your explanation.
"When are you planning to release this mini-ga?"
"Version 2.2."
Kiana made the decision outright:
"Alongside the official opening of Inazuma, the Supre Bishop will release this brand-new ga to break into Inazuma's internet market. The Traveler will be asked to test it—this will be the event storyline for the second half of Version 2.3."
Hiko nodded in understanding, then suddenly rembered sothing. "By the way, why is this mini-ga called Honkai Impact 3rd? What about Honkai Impact 2nd and Honkai Impact 1st? Aren't you releasing those first?"
Hearing Hiko's question, Kiana tilted her head, a question mark appearing above her.
Seeing Kiana's expression, Hiko nodded again. "Alright, I get it. If players ask, rember to say it's called Honkai Impact 3rd because of the Third Honkai Eruption."
Furina looked at the new script in her hands, narrowing her eyes slightly as she read it carefully. While reviewing the script, she was also seriously considering how to turn the tables this ti.
Being outsmarted by Ye ti and ti again had beco unbearable. This ti, she was determined to get her revenge.
"Lady Furina? Haven't you finished reading yet?"
Hearing Ye's question, Furina put the script away and glanced around.
At this mont, they were in a beautiful pavilion located in the western part of the Court of Fontaine.
For Furina, this was a rare place of relaxation and leisure. The pavilion had been built under her orders.
Now, Ye had brought Furina here to begin filming the fifth episode of Reporting to Lady Furina.
Furina carefully surveyed her surroundings.
This was her territory.
The cool breeze was refreshing. There were no desserts, no other people, no small animals—nothing that could potentially embarrass her.
The only one here was Ye.
In other words, she could finally get her revenge.
So, how could she pay him back for all the tis he had outsmarted her?
While thinking this, Furina maintained a calm expression and smiled as she replied, "I've morized all the lines. We can start, Ye."
"Understood, Lady Furina."
Ye nodded slightly.
"We're rolling now."
In an instant, Furina shifted the atmosphere, showcasing her professional acting skills. She wore a thoughtful expression as she asked, "Is the Traveler heading to Inazuma?"
"Yes, Lady Furina."
Ye's voice was calm.
"She should already be on her way to Inazuma."
"You ntioned before that you've formally t the Traveler?"
"I'm not sure if it counts as formal, but in Liyue, I did et the Traveler who's famous across nations. It caused quite a bit of wariness and hostility."
"What do you think of her?"
"She seems easy to fool."
"Huh?" Furina sounded puzzled.
Ye remained expressionless. "Although this first impression isn't great, it's not a big problem. The next ti we et, this bad impression should be resolved."
"...Are you planning to go to Inazuma too?"
"The preparations in Inazuma are complete. It's ti to reap the rewards."
"I don't know what you're planning, but Inazuma is dangerous. You should be careful."
"Thank you for your concern, Lady Furina. I'm well aware of the Raiden Shogun's strength and know my limits. I won't confront her directly."
"I wasn't talking about the Raiden Shogun."
"..."
Furina and Ye locked eyes. In this mont, she wasn't reciting lines but speaking from the heart.
"Sen'emon Asada, the current head of the Asada family. Her strength far surpasses all previous generations of Sen'emon. On the day she was born, the Raiden Shogun recognized her as the strongest human in Inazuma—twenty years have passed since then, and no one knows how strong she is now."
"Ye, even you could fall to her sword if you're not careful."
"...Thank you for the warning, Lady Furina. But I'm not so easy to kill."
Furina narrowed her eyes sharply. "It seems you're determined to fight her."
"This isn't up to ," Ye said nonchalantly. "If she's willing to turn away from darkness, then naturally, we won't be enemies."
"However, given her loyalty to the Raiden Shogun, that's impossible."
"And when that ti cos, the only one who can stop her... will probably be ."
