Honkai Impact: Capturing the Little Herrschers starting with Sirin

"Actually, you don't have to do this."

"I think I already know why you came here."

The tone was sincere, and "He" obviously really understood why Xilin came here.

Since he is not here to fulfill the agreement, there is only one possibility.

"But... it's too late."

"What's late?" Xilin asked.

For some reason, after this sentence, the slightly relaxed atmosphere suddenly became serious.

It's also a bit suffocating.

But it seems that "Him" did not intend to respond directly, but looked into the unknown distance.

"My heart... is crying. She is very resistant and reluctant to leave."

"After she knew the truth..."

He stretched out his hand and “He” touched his heart.

"very sad."

"But she still made that choice."

"why?"

“He” didn’t understand and looked at Xilin.

"I clearly... gave her a choice."

"But why was she so sad and still chose that path?"

These words are somewhat puzzling.

It's very strange, isn't it? For Xilin, there are things that He doesn't know or feels puzzled about.

After all, He is an omniscient being.

But facing "Him", this so-called omniscience may not be so absolute.

This sentence also made Xilin's heart tighten.

"Who is she you are talking about?!"

"No..." Without waiting for a response, he shook his head again.

"It's become obvious."

"Where is she? Or...what does she know?"

"..."

"You want to know the answer?"

No answer.

There is no doubt that answering a question with a question is extremely rude.

But obviously, this may be Xilin's only way to the truth.

So, she nodded.

"Please tell me everything if you can."

“Sure.” “He” did not hesitate.

"Little Second asked you to come here just for the decision you are making right now."

“But after that, you have to make a choice, too.”

"Brand new..."

"Little Second."

.........

Moon.

When Bai Mo left the dream woven in the Holy Scar Space, her figure appeared on the moon.

Looking into the distance, the moon is still so desolate.

Bai Mo's footsteps never stopped.

She wanted to find a place where she could say goodbye to that planet.

"Mei, come quickly."

In the distance, a familiar call sounded at the right time.

"I think I saw my sister, over here!"

"Wait... Kiana, slow down."

At the end of her field of vision, a familiar white-haired girl was pulling two staggering figures, jumping and running towards her.

"Kiana..."

The girl was still as reckless as ever, and her joy and anticipation were clearly written on her face.

She ran faster and faster, getting closer and closer.

So...how should things develop next?

perhaps……

"Sister Bai!"

The soft body fell into Bai Mo's arms, and Kiana threw herself into his arms in surprise.

Bai Mo also subconsciously reached out to catch her.

"Sister Bai, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

The lovely girl was like a lazy kitten, burying her delicate and cute little face in Bai Mo's chest.

Just like before, this girl still relies on herself so much.

It seems like I will always be that child who never grows up.

"Okay Kiana, get up, you're not a kid anymore."

Bai Mo lowered his head, but happened to meet the girl's raised eyes.

"No." Shaking his head, Baituanzi turned his head away stubbornly.

Not obedient at all, even mumbling under his breath.

"I want you to hold me for a little longer, just a little longer."

She is acting coquettishly and even willful.

How long has it been?

Yes... Kiana should rarely act like a spoiled child to me like this now.

So when I saw this girl pursing her lips, puffing up her little face, and looking at me with her big watery eyes.

Bai Mo's voice also softened.

"Sorry for making you worry."

She rubbed Rosiana's head.

But the girl happily put her arm around her and shook her hand.

"Hey~ Sister Bai, please don't apologize first every time. It makes me unable to be willful even if I want to."

The girl's puffed up face and pretended to be dissatisfied was very cute.

One can't help but want to poke that chubby cheek.

"but……"

Before her thoughts could be put into action, the scene changed and the energetic girl pulled her and turned around to walk back.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

"Since Sister Bai has returned safely, nothing will be a problem."

"Let's go home together."

"..."

go home?

Reunion?

Return?

This... is good.

No?

But, it's not true.

Yeah, it’s too good to be true.

Just like the hand she subconsciously extended when she was pulled up by Kiana.

Fantasy thoughts become hazy.

Reality crushed the beautiful dream, and in the brief reality with broken delusions and blankness as the curtain, the picture in front of me dissipated.

The white-haired girl recklessly rushed into Bai Mo's world of thought. The figures of illusion and reality overlapped, and finally returned to the truth.

So...what is the truth?

It was Kiana who never set her sights on her

It was that girl who came to them holding their hands and said...

Pass by.

At that moment, time seemed to slow down. Bai Mo could see the girl's hair passing by the corner of his eye as she passed by, and... the look in his eyes that didn't even give her a glance.

So, where would her outstretched hand land?

What are you expecting yourself?

Looking forward to the girl throwing herself into my arms, just like before, just like the fantasy just now, and finally calling me Sister Bai?

And then... go home together?

Or is it just wishful thinking that there will be a turnaround called a "miracle" at the end of most stories?

But don’t you know?

When you make a choice... all of this no longer belongs to you.

As for miracles...

Isn’t your choice meant to create miracles?

"Eh?"

Perhaps it was a mysterious feeling, Kiana paused and her steps slowly came to a stop.

Turning around, she looked behind her curiously.

But found...

There was no one there.

"Stupid, what happened to you today?"

Seeing Kiana always being so suspicious, Bronya couldn't help but complain.

But he found that Kiana did not refute him.

Instead, he stared blankly at the empty surface of the moon behind him.

"I feel like I forgot something."

"but……"

"what is it then?"

……

Salt Lake Base.

"How is it? Have you figured out the casualties?"

As the Archbishop, Theresa is asking her Valkyries about the losses caused by the war.

But fortunately, Kevin just trapped everyone in a beautiful dream and did not actually hurt anyone.

Therefore, the number of people who died in the disaster was very small, or even zero.

But it was not without loss.

The brief social paralysis and the residual impact of the collapse of the Stigmata Project still caused some impact on civilization.

Of course, very few.

As for those who died.

All we can say is a moment of silence for this.

But as expected, some people wake up to face death.

Or facing impending death.

This is an expected result.

"Whoo~"

"At least, it hasn't gotten to the most troublesome point."

They could only comfort themselves in this way. At least compared with their expectations, this was already good news beyond their imagination.
