Honkai Impact 3rd: Catching the Herrscher of Sentience at the Start

Himeko stood there dumbfounded, overwhelmed with emotion, not knowing how to respond. She silently opened her arms and gently pulled Mei☆ into her embrace.

As Mei☆ felt the kindness in Himeko's hug, the tears she had been holding back finally burst forth like a flood.

Unable to suppress her deep pain and grievance any longer, she cried her heart out.

------------------------------

Fu Hua looked at the suddenly visiting Theresa, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes. Then, she softly asked, "Headmaster, is there something important?"

Hearing Fu Hua's question, Theresa first cleared her throat, then coughed awkwardly before slowly replying,

"Uh... actually, it's nothing particularly urgent. Mainly, this student Kiana☆ here kept insisting on personally thanking you. I couldn't refuse her, so I brought her along."

At that moment, Kiana☆, who had been silent, finally raised her head, staring intently at Fu Hua's face, which bore a strong resemblance to Fu Lin's. For a moment, she was lost in thought, silently musing,

'It's only a resemblance after all; no matter what, it's not Fu Lin...'

However, this thought flashed through Kiana☆'s mind briefly. She quickly adjusted her emotions, a radiant smile blooming on her face as she reached out her right hand and enthusiastically introduced herself,

"Hello! My name is Kiana. Thank you so much for saving me before. I will definitely repay this favor. If you ever need any help, please come to me!"

Facing Kiana☆'s sincere and warm attitude, Fu Hua naturally smiled back, gently shaking the hand offered, and said humbly, "Saving people is the Valkyrie's duty, no need to worry."

Kiana☆ shook her head vigorously, her twin tails swaying as she looked at Fu Hua with determination and said seriously,

"You can't say that! No matter what, you saved me at a critical moment.

So I will definitely find a way to repay this favor! After all, I'm from the Kaslana family, and repaying kindness is our family tradition!

Alright, I'll take my leave now. See you tomorrow, class monitor~"

After finishing, Kiana☆ slightly raised her head, her gaze quickly sweeping over Fu Hua's face, but only for a moment, as if afraid of being drawn in, she quickly looked away.

At the same time, Kiana☆ secretly took a deep breath, trying to calm the surge of emotions inside, constantly reminding herself to stay clear-headed and rational, never to mistake the person in front of her for Fu Lin.

Fu Hua raised her left hand to adjust her glasses, waved goodbye and said, "Hmm, see you tomorrow."

At this moment, Theresa stepped forward, crossing her arms and smiling as she said, "Alright, you've met. Next, I'll take you to your new place to stay. Be mentally prepared!"

Before she finished speaking, Theresa had already turned around and walked briskly ahead with light steps.

Meanwhile, Fu Hua quietly stood in place, her gaze following the two figures until they completely disappeared at the end of the path...

Moments later, Kiana☆ and Theresa stood in front of a door. After exchanging a glance, they gently pushed it open.

As soon as they entered, a mixed strange smell rushed towards them. In sight were clothes, books, and various unidentified items scattered everywhere.

The whole room looked as if it had just been through an intense battle, utterly chaotic.

Kiana☆ widened her eyes in disbelief at the mess before her and couldn't help but complain,

"This place looks like a garbage dump?"

As she spoke, Kiana☆ carefully avoided the scattered items underfoot, struggling to make her way inside.

Fu Lin crossed his arms and floated upwards, nodding in silent resignation.

Following behind, Theresa saw this scene and couldn't help but feel embarrassed on Himeko's behalf. She slightly lowered her head and whispered softly,

"Still as messy as usual, huh. Well—this is the world of single women living alone!"

While the two were speaking, suddenly a terrified scream came from one of the rooms,

"Don't open that cabinet!"

However, it was too late.

With a loud "bang," followed by a series of crashing sounds, the tightly shut door was suddenly forced open, and countless items burst out like a flood.

In an instant, three figures were directly swept out by the force.

Mei☆, buried under the pile of stuff, finally struggled to climb out, looking around at the mountain of items with a bewildered face and stammered,

"Why is there so much stuff in the cabinet!"

At this moment, Himeko was lying on the floor in disarray, still clutching a feather duster, with a white mask over her mouth.

Hearing Mei☆'s question, she slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of helpless eyes, and muttered softly,

"I've been cramming unused stuff into that cabinet for the past three months..."

But at this moment, Mei☆ seemed to not hear Himeko's explanation at all, her gaze quietly fixed on Kiana☆ standing at the door.

Time seemed to freeze. The whole room fell into a suffocating silence.

Even Himeko and Theresa noticed the awkward atmosphere, glancing back and forth between Kiana☆ and Mei☆.

Mei☆ silently stared at Kiana☆, her heart filled with mixed emotions, not knowing how to face the person before her.

On the other hand, Kiana☆'s gaze also locked firmly onto Mei☆, her eyes revealing a mix of anger, pain, and sorrow.

Kiana☆ slowly clenched her fists, her fair hands slightly bulging with veins from the force.

Her lovely face gradually darkened, like a sky heavy with clouds before a storm.

Then, Kiana☆ suddenly turned her head towards Theresa, speaking in a low and firm tone,

"Theresa, get me another room!"

Theresa was stunned by Kiana☆'s sudden demand, subconsciously raised her head, and replied with difficulty,

"Eh? This apartment is a bit messy, yes, but with a bit of cleaning, it'll look brand new.

Besides, where else can we find another room for you?

We wouldn't have arranged for you here if there were other options."

At this point, Himeko came over and suddenly pulled Kiana☆'s head tightly into her embrace.

Kiana☆ felt a strong force pull her in before she could react, her whole head deeply buried into Himeko's broad and soft chest.

Then, a chillingly dark smile gradually appeared on Himeko's originally beautiful face, making one's hair stand on end.

She lowered her head slightly and said in a chilling tone,

"Ah~? Are you... disgusted by me?"

Though Himeko's voice was soft, the coldness in it was enough to freeze the surrounding air.

Being held so tightly by Himeko, Kiana☆ felt she could barely breathe, the overwhelming pressure suffocating her.

She desperately twisted her body, waving her hands, trying to break free from Himeko's iron grip, shouting loudly,

（.#）＞д＜;（#.）"Ugh! Let me go! You messy old auntie!"

The moment Kiana☆ finished, Himeko's face, which had only been slightly clouded, suddenly turned extremely dark, like a stormy sky about to burst.

(▼皿▼#) "You~! Whatdidyousay? Can you say it again for me...hmm? I think I didn't hear you clearly....."

Hearing Himeko's threatening tone, Kiana☆ didn't shrink back. Instead, as if her fighting spirit was ignited, she fearlessly shouted again,

（.#）≧﹏≦（#.）"You big-breasted, messy old auntie, let me go already!"

Seeing this, Fu Lin secretly broke out in a cold sweat for Kiana☆, putting his hands together in front of his chest and softly muttering, "Amitabha..."
