About my outrageous life in Honkai Impact III

Chapter 474 1 As if we first met

The girl was wearing a pure white dress, waiting here quietly.

"Welcome, noble and pure soul.

You've finally arrived here.

Introducing myself...Isn't that necessary anymore?

Well, this is the last time...

Hi, how do you feel?"

The petals fell, and the girl in my memory stood there.

There is nothing to say about each other, but a thousand lines of tears.

"You're not going to say anything? It's not like you to be so silent."

This is what Alicia replied to Mei, who had tears dripping down her face.

"So, I'm back?"

It seems that she is still the same, liking to joke.

"Well, welcome back."

Alicia covered her smiling mouth with her hands, her eyes were crescent-shaped.

"Oh my... this is a very foul statement.

"During the time I was away, you became quite proactive, Mei?"

"After all, someone just disappeared without saying anything."

Mei also relaxed a lot, put one hand on her waist, and had a smile in her eyes.

"So... am I the same as [her] in your memory?"

Although she had appeared in front of Mei like this before, Mei now knew everything about her and she was afraid of being hated.

"Exactly."

"That's good."

Faced with this answer, Alicia was much happier.

"By the way, where is Xiaochen?"

Sure enough, what Alicia cares about most is Luo Chen.

"He said he would wait for us at the end. It seems not here."

After looking around and not seeing Luo Chen, Mei looked at the somewhat disappointed Alicia and suddenly had a strange idea.

She and Alicia are both best friends and love rivals, so what should they be called, enemies and secret lovers?

"Mei, you really did it.

Now, your memories, and everyone's memories... they are all here, intertwined and entangled.

I saw it all... I told such a big lie, it's natural for everyone to be mad at me.

But in the end they all smiled and forgave me... Aren't they spoiling me a little too much?"

"Is it really appropriate for you to say this?

And that slap you gave Chen was really loud."

Mei shook her head. Even though the slap wasn't on her face, it looked painful.

"Oh, there's nothing I can do about it."

Alicia circled two fingers in front of her chest. She felt a little embarrassed when this was mentioned.

"I was also very angry at the time. Who told Xiaochen to use his life to exchange for mine? I will never allow this!"

She put her hands on her hips. She could follow Xiaochen in other aspects, but this was absolutely not allowed!

"But this also proves that you care about him, and he cares about you too."

When saying this, Mei felt a little sour in her mouth. Why?

That day... (doge)

"If you treat everyone with your heart, they will treat you with their heart in return... I don't see any problem with that."

"Wow, since Mei said so, then it must be like this.?"

Alicia tilted her head, while Mei looked helpless.

"You knew I would say that."

"uh-huh.?"

"I have finished reading the storybook called "Alishia"... Now, I am only left with the last page.

The ending of that banquet..."

"It is also my ending."

Alicia put her hands behind her back.

“This time, I don’t want to be a reader or a spectator outside the story.

Reading distant memories, but unable to touch them at all... I don't want it to end like this.

So this time, I want to step onto the stage in the book and witness the ending of the human named Alicia as an eyewitness.

Witness... everything about you and the heroes.

And then keep it all in mind.”

Mei's eyes were firm and her attitude was resolute.

“This is the highest respect I, as a successor, can pay to the heroes who paved the way for us.”

"Since Mei said so, there is no way I can refuse.

Then let me lead Mei... to turn the last page of the story book, okay?"

As she said before, no matter when or where, Alicia will always respond to your expectations.

This time, too.

……

As a guide, Alicia introduced the process of the banquet and the participants to Mei.

The whole process was more like an amusement park for Mei, with claw machines, balloons, roller coasters, and fireworks. Rather than saying that Alicia was taking her to reminisce the past, it was more like the two of them were on a unique date.

Finally, in an empty courtyard, Alicia reached out her hand to Mei.

"Would you please dance with me... for one last time?"

Flower petals brushed past the girl, and a very beautiful longbow appeared in her hand.

"my pleasure."

In response, Mei took out the Seven Thunders of Purification, surrounded by lightning, and a dance unique to the two of them began.

"Mei, it's not a good idea to be in a daze while dancing with a beautiful girl like me."

A pink arrow carrying a stream of light flew past Mei's ear. Alicia playfully stuck out her tongue at Mei and raised the bow in her hand.

“I know, I was just thinking, [they’re] all here, right?”

"Yes, let's slowly get into the climax of the party, shall we?!"

Dodging Mei's slash, Alicia flew flexibly on the field.

Crystal arrows flew towards Mei one after another. While admiring Alicia's graceful movements, Mei found that the courtyard was suddenly surrounded by fourteen pillars.

The reason is self-evident.

Gradually, Mei fell into a disadvantage.

“Is this the true [power] of Alicia?

Then I must also respond to her expectations..."

"Hey, then let us help Sister Mei for a while."

At this moment, something unexpected happened and Mei heard Pado's voice.

"Pado?"

"Are you that surprised, Mei-sister? You haven't settled the previous account yet, but I haven't forgotten it."

Following the direction of the voice, Mei saw that on one of the fourteen pillars, the seal of [Koumu] lit up, bringing strength to Mei.

“Hey, we can’t let Sister Ai Li down, right?

Empty dreams are impermanent. I'll share half of my good luck with you!"

Paduo was still as lively as ever, and it was her optimism that made Mei stand up.

Then, what follows is the wonderful appearance of the heroes.

“Life is short, but will last forever.”

"Your color... is like the stars in the sky."

"So, go beyond infinity... don't let me down~"

“This is the dawning light you lit.”

"With just this one sword, a moment is also eternity."

"With this heavenly wisdom, we will open up a way forward."

"Stand up and witness the destruction of all things!"

"This is your stage now, and I give you spiral applause!"

"With this golden song, play the melody of destiny."

"No need for discipline, we fourteen heroes..."

"In the name of saving the world, let's sing it to future generations!"

"I wish to use the burning moon as a guide to protect you and lead you on your journey."

There are only them here, but there are more than just them.

The power of engraving, gathered together.

“Look, they are all here, witnessing this banquet.

Because Mei did it, because Mei is someone recognized by the Fourteen Heroes!"

“This is the final practice, the grand finale… so I won’t have any regrets.

Show me all you are, Alicia!"

Her emotions grew stronger, and as fourteen seals gathered around her, Mei once again expressed her expectations to Alicia.

"Well, come on, Mei!"

Alicia flew into the air and shot out an unparalleled crystal arrow. Then the longbow turned into a magic wand and the gorgeous dress also changed its appearance.

And Mei also changed her appearance.

"Finally, we have reached the climax of the dance.

Was Mei surprised?

[Hersher of the Origin], this is my other name... How do you feel about it?"

On the calm water surface, Alicia looked at Mei who had entered the Burning Moon state and felt very envious.

But then I thought, this set of clothes also has special meaning and is no worse than Mei's.

"The Ruler of Origin?

Just an ordinary human girl, that's all."

Thunder, lightning, ice and snow intertwined to embellish this grand ending.

The two went back and forth, until...

A huge pink manta ray leaped up from the sea of stars, carrying Alicia into the sky.

Mei raised her head above the water, and was thinking about what to do next when she heard an excited dragon roar.

The pitch-black dragon tore through space, broke through the water surface, and flapped its broad wings to soar straight up.

It hovered in the air, glanced at Alicia and Mei, and landed in front of Mei with a bang.

Looking at the huge golden diamond-shaped eyes, Mei knew where the dragon in front of her came from.

"dust?"

The dragon nodded, responding to Mei's guess.

This is his completely artificial collapse state. Although he can transform into a more powerful form after undergoing the Chimera operation, Luo Chen thinks that he is the most beautiful in this state.

"Mei, come up."

The dragon swooped down and let Mei come up from his wings.

"Wow, Xiaochen, you really dote on Meiyi."

Looking at Mei kneeling on the dragon head, Alicia suddenly felt that the stingray under her feet was no longer fragrant.

Manta: Family, who understands?

"Ellie, if you want, come up too."

The dragon sighed and remained lying on the ground, waiting for Alicia to come up.

Although no expression could be seen on his face, Mei and Alicia both knew that Luo Chen must be smiling indulgently at this moment.

The giant dragon stood up, flapped its wings, roared again, and flew towards the sea of stars carrying the two girls.

……

The girls sat on the swings, cherishing their last moments.

"So, this is the end?"

"Well, it's over."

Alicia breathed a sigh of relief. This was truly an unforgettable experience.

"I didn't expect that I could experience the [Banquet] again in this way... Thank you, Mei."

"So, this is how you looked in the eyes of the heroes..."

"Ok.

[The people who left the table refused to attack because they believed in Alicia.]

[The people present came to the party because they believed in Alicia.]

My original idea was for everyone to unite and fight against a common enemy.

But I didn’t expect that I would achieve my goal in another way.”

"But when you came up with this bad idea, did you ever consider Chen's thoughts?"

Mei held the swing chain tightly. Even though she understood Alicia's difficulties, it was really unfair to Chen.

“I thought that even though I was someone who knew everything, I couldn’t save all tragedies.

Actually, Mei, I envy you very much.

I envy Xiaochen for being able to speak frankly about his feelings for you, and I also envy him for being happy every day around you."

Alicia gently swung the swing, and her body swayed back and forth.

"Before you entered the paradise of the afterlife, Kevin from outside came in for a while.

After he told us that Xiaochen was coming in, Yayi, do you know how happy I was? "

Alicia stopped the swing, and Mei saw a drop of crystal clear water hanging in the corner of her eye.

“Yai, I’m very grateful to you for having such a good girl like you by Xiaochen’s side.

That idiot is actually a very fragile person. If no one is with him, he will sink deeper and deeper."

“I understand this very well.”

Mei agrees with Alicia. Luo Chen is the kind of person who looks fine on the outside, but who knows how many times he has been broken on the inside.

"In fact, I was hesitant before I decided to sacrifice myself. I was afraid that Xiaochen would do something irrational after I left."

Alicia smiled reluctantly, and it was indeed true. According to what Chen and Kevin said later, Chen went to fight Zhongyan basically hoping that Zhongyan would kill him.

"But I have to do it. Our civilization is heading for extinction. The only thing I can do is to leave seeds of hope for you, for the people of this dimension.

Now it seems that I have succeeded.

As expected of me, the extremely smart Alicia! ”

"Indeed, although it may be a little late, I still want to say it."

Mei stood up and faced Alicia solemnly.

"Thank you, Alicia, for giving us the opportunity to change our destiny at the very beginning.

I, and my friends, have triumphed over fate because of you."

"Yeah……"

Alicia left the swing and held Mei's hands.

"So Mei, in return, can you promise me something?"

"No problem, even if it's a hundred pieces, I'll agree."

"Promise me that you'll take good care of Xiaochen. Don't let him cry again."
