Honkai Impact: Capturing the Little Herrschers starting with Sirin

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore and talk about something happy."

"Do you remember? You and I went to Sister Wei Erwei's place to purchase goods, but we were discovered. It was you who took me to find Sister Ai Li, and we escaped."

The girl's thoughts sank deep, trying to dig out that memory.

Perhaps because this memory was so fresh in her mind, a little gleam of light appeared in the girl's eyes.

"Yeah, I remember! Then, as a thank you... we wore pink dresses for about a month."

"Huh? You actually remember it?" Padu was surprised, but nodded.

"Yes, Sister Ai Li took a lot of photos at that time."

"But I'll tell you a secret. Later, I used the treasure to exchange all those photos with Sister Ai Li. Do you want to see them? I'll bring them to you next time."

"Hmm... I think so."

This is an ordinary memory without any waves. Is it Padu's memory?

Bai Mo didn’t know.

Can……

"Isn't it Sister Bai..."

It turns out that Paddo doesn't call me Sister Bai.

Raising his foot, Bai Mo passed by the illusion in front of him.

Walking to the end of this world, there is another door.

Ding-a-ling, a familiar ringtone.

It seemed like an agreement between the two of them. The ringing of the bell heralded the arrival of the girl and the disappearance of loneliness.

"Abai, look, this is a wonderful treasure I just got. How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"

This is, when is it coming?

Is it... half a year later? It seems that by now, Padu has become accustomed to coming here to visit me.

Pushing open another door, Bai Mo's footsteps never stopped. Scenes flashed around him, and the sound of bells lingered, carrying the call.

Jingle Bell……

"Look, Bai, I brought colored lights so that there won't be just one color here."

Jingle Bell……

"Abai, this, this is Sister Wei Erwei's new invention. I heard it can imitate human movements. I don't know if it's true or not. Do you want to try it?"

Jingle Bell……

"Abai, you smiled. How long has it been since I last saw you? It's been thousands of years, right?"

"But that's how it should be. If you smile, it proves that our efforts are not in vain."

Jingle Bell……

"Abai...how are you? Do you still remember me?"

"Kosmo, remember? I've told you this many times."

"What about Boss Kevin, Brother Jie and the others?"

"Sister Ai Li, Sister Ai Li, you should remember it, right?"

I don't know since when, thousands of years? Tens of thousands of years?

Paddo's company delayed the girl's fall and even brought a smile back to her numb face.

But, the bird with broken wings will eventually fall, and that day will eventually come.

[I want to take another look at the fireworks burning at the end of the gray.]

[I want to hear another call from the distant past.]

[I think your shadow is in this world, and I think every time I look back, I can see you again.]

But if, and I mean if... the future is already predetermined, oblivion will eventually come.

So what is our past, every moment we cherished and laughed at?

Forget...

She is forgetting.

Those things that should have been most precious to her disappeared before her eyes.

Every time she opens her eyes, there is one less piece of puzzle in her world.

Year by year.

until that day.

Jingle Bell……

"I'm sorry, I forgot, I...I remembered my name."

"It's okay." Padu held the injured bird in her arms and comforted her with a smile.

"It's okay. I will remember the past that you have forgotten. One day you will remember everything. Then... remember to smile at me more."

That day, she forgot the person who had always been with her.

From that time on, what echoed in Bai Mo's ears was no longer a call, but the repetition, over and over again:

"Hello, my name is Paddo Felice. You can call me Paddo or Felice."

"I will come every day from now on. Maybe you will forget, but it doesn't matter. I will introduce myself to you every day. In this way... Abai will have a new friend every day."

Over and over again, again and again, without getting tired of it, and never stopping.

That girl named Padufilis, during these 50,000 years, used her own clumsy and naive method to heal the inner wounds of the winged girl time and time again.

But time eventually defeated her.

From forgetting to hating! From losing oneself to becoming another self.

Bai Mo finally arrived at the door.

The door is so broken that it looks like it will fall apart at the slightest touch.

But Bai Mo knew that behind this door was the answer he wanted.

Even if she knew what that meant...

...

Jingle Bell!

Jingle Bell…

This time, the ringtone no longer brought joy.

"Abai, you..."

"You...! You heroes! I hate you! I hate you!" The girl pressed Paduo down and strangled her neck, her fists filled with anger and resentment falling again and again.

The huge force caused the ground to tremble and the earth to crack.

Those eyes, filled with murderous intent and hatred, revealed madness.

Can……

When the smoke and dust cleared, Pado was lying motionless on the ground, and on her sides were holes made by fists.

Those fists contained all her anger, but not a single one of them landed on her.

Bang~!

Surprisingly, compared to the fierce fist, the first thing that fell on the girl's cheek was the tears that flowed from her eyes.

"Abai..."

“Ah——!!!” The space trembled under her madness, and the roar resounded throughout the sky. Under the force of the girl's fist embedded in the ground, cracks appeared on the earth like a spider web.

She gritted her teeth, her expression becoming even more ferocious due to anger, but tears kept flowing out of her eyes, flickering, and finally falling silently onto Padu's mud-stained cheek.

"I...I don't want to..."

The girl leaned over, suppressed all the madness in her heart in her hoarse voice, and gently hugged Pado's delicate body.

"I'm sorry~!"

"Sorry……"

That time, Paddo was injured, seriously injured.

Even though she restrained herself in the end, the huge gap in strength still caused her to accidentally hurt this friend who had been with her for 50,000 years.

At that moment, she finally realized that she had reached the end.

Perhaps it was a last burst of emotion. On the last day, the girl remembered everything. She remembered a lot.

But that didn't mean she had recovered. On the contrary, it proved that when tomorrow came, she would truly lose everything.

So, is this mercy?

At least in the end, she remembered everything. At least in the end, she could still recall.

At least in the end, she will die with beautiful memories.

Yes, tomorrow no longer belongs to her.

The her of the past, the one who followed behind Alicia, the other of the timid duo besides Padu, the one who had experienced 50,000 years but had only brief memories...

dying.
