Honkai Impact 3rd: I Am the Saviour

After everyone entered the living room, Fu Hua and Raiden Mei exchanged a tacit glance and walked toward the kitchen at the same time.

"Mei."

Fu Hua took ingredients out from the shopping bag and said in a calm tone, "Tonight I plan to make Shenzhou's 'hotpot.' If you're not too familiar, you can help me prepare the side dishes."

"Sorry to trouble you, Fu Hua." Raiden Mei skillfully tied on an apron.

"But recently, I just happened to be researching Shenzhou cuisine, and I even asked the chef at home for advice…"

As she spoke, Raiden Mei pulled out a bag of Sichuan peppercorns from the shopping bag.

"I just so happened to have learned the entire process of making hotpot."

Listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen and the two occasionally discussing how to make hotpot, Van inexplicably had the illusion of 'wife and girlfriend preparing dinner together.'

He shook his head, tossing this absurd thought out of his mind, and turned to look at Ivana beside him.

Compared to the two busy in the kitchen, this girl was completely unrestrained, sprawling on the sofa.

While scrolling on her phone, she muttered under her breath, "So annoying! These damn content creators must be sick in the head!"

"Fine, making content about me is one thing, but why is it funny content?! And! Even if it's funny content, why do they all like calling me 'Three-Year-Old Ivana'?!"

"Fine, fine, fine! Just don't let me see you in the real world! Or I'll rewrite all your consciousnesses to make you shout 'Long live Lady Herrscher of Consciousness' the moment you see me!"

Watching Ivana passionately sparring with netizens in the comment barrage, Van couldn't even muster a retort.

'You act like this and still wonder why people call you Three-Year-Old Ivana.'

After sitting down next to Ivana, Van asked, "By the way, have you found a place to stay here?"

While typing, Ivana absentmindedly replied, "Yeah, I rented a small single room near the school."

"You plan to live alone?" Van frowned instinctively.

If this lawless brat of a Herrscher were really allowed to live alone, Van could already imagine the chaos to come.

"What's wrong with living alone? It's freedom." Ivana didn't even look up.

Then, as if realizing something, Ivana suddenly put down her phone and gave Van a sly smile, "What, judging from what you said, don't tell me you want to live with me?"

Saying that, Ivana feigned surprise, "You bastard… don't tell me the type you actually like… is me?"

Slap!

"Ow~ What was that for?!"

Ivana rubbed her reddened forehead after being flicked by Van, exclaiming, "I get it, you hit me because I rejected you, and now you're lashing out in shame and anger… Okay, okay, okay… don't flick me again! I won't say it anymore, can't I stop?!"

After a round of "friendly" interaction, Van finally got this brat back to normal.

"By the way, you came to Shenzhou alone. What about your side, at home?" Van asked.

"Ever since I can remember, I've been alone~"

Ivana stretched lazily. "But that's not bad either. Totally free."

Ivana's words left Van momentarily speechless. Of course, part of him felt sorry for the little girl, but even more than that, he was confused.

Because before he restarted the world… he had clearly asked the world consciousness to assign everyone a new identity based on the deepest desires in their hearts.

For example, Fu Hua and the others were all beautiful and youthful students.

Himeko was a school teacher who educated people.

Mobius was a biologist, Eden a singer, and even Elysia was a cheerful livestreamer who brought joy to others.

So why was Ivana the only one with a generic tragic background, an orphan with no parents?

Van instinctively glanced at Ivana, who had once again begun arguing online with netizens…

'Could it be that this girl's heart… housed an Arthas Menethil?

Just thinking of that made Van shiver.

A while later, maybe because she was done arguing with the netizens, Ivana casually tossed her phone aside and flopped on the sofa like King.

"Speaking of which, while I've recovered quite a lot of my memory, some crucial memories are still sealed."

Ivana stared at the ceiling, muttering to herself, "So I'm guessing those sealed memories… might only be unlocked at certain key points in the exposure videos."

At this, Ivana tilted her head and looked at Van. "Are the others the same as me?"

Van nodded affirmatively, "More or less, everyone has some memories they still haven't remembered."

Hearing this, Ivana suddenly narrowed her eyes and revealed a sly smile, "I see… Could it be you did something shady in the past, and the world consciousness is deliberately hiding it from us?"

"What nonsense are you saying?!"

Van immediately retorted, "The world consciousness doesn't belong to my family, why would it help me hide your memories…"

"Well~ that's not necessarily true~" Ivana wiggled her finger and said,

"Maybe when you rebooted the world, you even charmed the world consciousness? Or else, explain this, why would she suddenly expose everything you did in the past for no reason? It couldn't possibly be that she wants to use those exposure videos to pressure you into something… could it?"

At this point, Van looked calm on the outside, but inside he was panicking like mad.

'Holy shit! No way, right?! Since when did Ivana's intuition become so sharp?!'

Then, as he rapidly reviewed everything he had done in the past in his mind, Van consoled himself, 'I shouldn't have done anything that would betray them…'

However, before that last uncertain "right?" could be spoken, the apartment's doorbell suddenly rang.

"I got this! I'll open it~"

Hearing movement, Ivana bounced up from the couch like a carp leaping, dashed toward the door without even putting on shoes.

Van didn't immediately understand why Ivana was so eager, until he heard the sound of the doorknob turning, and suddenly realized… in his rundown little apartment, besides Fu Hua and Raiden Mei, the only other people who would visit were...

"Ivana!! Wait!!!"

But, it was already too late.

By the time Van reached the entrance, he saw Ivana cheerfully greeting Mobius and Himeko as they changed shoes at the door.

"Himeko, Doctor Mobius, hello~ I'm Ivana, Herrscher of Consciousness Ivana. Nice to meet you~"

She looked exactly like a polite child from a good family.

Mobius and Himeko, upon entering and glancing at Ivana for a moment, exchanged a tacit glance, then both shifted their eyes to Van, who had just rushed over.

The meaning in their eyes was self-evident.
