[Hu Tao: With Mei around, it's like having the strength of a hundred people???]
[Keqing: B-but… what kind of magical communication method is this???]
[Xianyun: Mm. When it comes to Honkai energy, don't ask too many details.]
[March 7th: Heeey~~~ looks like Raiden Mei is really~ important to Kiana…]
[Raiden Mei: Ahem Kiana… I told you not to say things like that…]
[Kiana: Hehehe, but I'm telling the truuuth!]
[Theresa: I don't know why, but I feel like I was just force-fed something… I'm kind of full…]
[Paimon: It's dog food!!]
[Lumine: Pfft pfft pfft—it's wedding candy!]
[Raiden Mei: …]
[Honkai · Himeko: But no matter what! Being able to help each other through hardship is the best news!]
[Einstein: Indeed.]
[Theresa: Go for it… Kiana! We'll all be supporting you from behind!]
[Honkai · Himeko: I believe in you. In all of you.]
[Honkai · Bronya: Me too… Kiana, good luck.]
[Rita: Lady Durandal, please be safe.]
Reality.
At St. Freya Academy.
Mei's face was slightly red as she looked at Kiana, who was clinging to her arm with a silly grin.
She shook her head helplessly—
yet her eyes were filled with tenderness.
On screen.
As Kiana continued running forward,
the scenery before her kept changing—
A Battleship at Dusk
"Kiana, this is Mei. I've safely reached the target area."
Kiana: "Mei! That's great! I'm heading over right now!"
"Ah—wait, we should follow the battle plan—"
Kiana: "But we're the best partners! Together, isn't it twice the effort for half the result?"
"You mean half the effort, twice the result."
Kiana: "Aiya! Who cares which phrase it is—doesn't the plan say 'adapt flexibly to circumstances'? Just wait for me!"
"I can't stand it anymore! It's been 2 hours, 27 minutes, and 38 seconds since I last saw Mei! Annoying zombies and Honkai beasts, stop blocking my way to Mei!"
Kiana: "Mei! With Mei around, it's like having the strength of a hundred people!"
Raiden Mei: "A-a hundred people… I'm not some kind of superhero…"
Kiana: "No! As long as Mei's by my side, I already feel a hundred times stronger!"
Raiden Mei: "Pfft… that's something only Kiana would say."
(What's wrong with me… why am I remembering these things now?)
(Moonlight Throne… everything started from that day. Counting it up, it's been over a year.)
(Only a year? So much has happened, I thought it'd been four or five.)
A Rainy Night in Nagazora City
Kiana: "I… why am I here…?"
Kiana: "!!"
Kiana: "You're… Kevin Kaslana…!"
"You attempted to shut down the Imaginary Singularity and were attacked by Imaginary constructs, falling as a result."
"Although I caught you, Dante's injuries were still severe."
"The Herrscher of the Void's power has weakened. That gives you more time."
Kiana: "You saved me… why?"
"…"
"Thank Raiden Mei. She's the one who saved you."
"You no longer need to worry about Nagazora City. The disaster is over. She protected this city in your stead."
Kiana: "What did you say… Mei?!"
"The rest, let her explain to you herself. She's here."
Amid thunder and lightning, Raiden Mei descended.
Kiana: "Mei…?!"
Kiana: "What happened… what's with that appearance…?"
Raiden Mei: "…"
"It seems you've made your choice."
Raiden Mei: "I'll go with you."
"Very good, Raiden Mei. Welcome to World Serpent."
Kiana: "—Wait!! What did you say?! Mei… joining World Serpent?!"
Kiana: "Mei… what's wrong?! What did he do to you?!"
Raiden Mei: "Kiana, I'm completely clear-headed."
Raiden Mei: "…This is my own decision. Don't worry about me."
Kiana: "Why—don't joke around! I won't agree! I won't let you go to World Serpent—!!!"
Raiden Mei: "Kiana…"
"It seems you still have things to settle. Say everything you need to say—but don't waste too much time."
"Raiden Mei, welcome to this side of the world."
(Yes… I'll never forget that day.)
(If I could go back, I'd probably have hundreds of ways to make Mei stay.)
(No… even earlier. Back to the sweet pepper curry… or earlier still, back to Skyreach City. Then Mei wouldn't have been hurt.)
(But… if that were the case, we wouldn't have made it to today, would we?)
The next moment.
As Kiana pressed onward—
[A pure, tranquil state of "nothingness" spread throughout the space, like the clear stratospheric sky above a storm.]
[Kiana could feel it—she had been somewhere like this before.]
Kiana: "This… is—"
Raiden Mei: "The depths of the Herrscher core. A place where our minds can directly connect."
Kiana: "…"
Raiden Mei: "…"
Kiana: "Am… am I dreaming?"
Raiden Mei: "If I said yes, you wouldn't believe me anyway."
Kiana: "…"
Kiana: "Why didn't you tell me ahead of time?"
Raiden Mei: "You're not wearing that jacket."
Kiana: "Huh?"
Raiden Mei: "You said you'd keep wearing it from then on."
Kiana: "Ah… that—"
Raiden Mei: "Haha, I'm joking."
Raiden Mei: "You've changed a lot."
Kiana: "Really? I think we haven't changed at all."
"…You're right."
Kiana: "…"
Kiana: "So… this is like the place where you meet memories or soul fragments, right?"
"Something like that. Except… we're both our true selves. Our true wills."
"This space was originally created by the so-called Will of Honkai. I discovered it by chance and thought of a way to use it like this."
Kiana: "The Will of Honkai? Isn't that super dangerous?!"
"It's fine, Kiana. It can't affect me."
"But we don't have much time like this. You're facing Otto now, aren't you? How's the situation?"
Kiana: "Principal, Bronya, and Class Monitor… they pushed themselves to the limit to create an opening for us."
Kiana: "The seniors of Anti-Entropy, Seele, Rozaliya, Liliya, and even the Valkyries still loyal to Schicksal—they've all contributed everything they could in their own ways."
Kiana: "Now, Durandal and I are heading to the final battlefield together, fighting side by side for the same goal."
Kiana: "This… should be the final battle."
"Durandal? As a partner, she's reliable. You can trust her."
"Then let me lend you a hand as well."
Kiana: "This is—?"
"Just like in the Theater of Domination, remember?"
"[Conquering Lightning]—take my power."
"No matter how many times your blade is broken, I'll forge it anew for you."
Kiana: "Thank you, Mei!"
"All right, go. There isn't much time left, is there?"
Kiana: "Mei… I—"
"It's okay. I understand, Kiana."
Kiana: "I have so many things I want to say to you… but I'll save them for next time. Next time, it'll be face to face, right?"
"…Yes."
Kiana: "Then… I'm going. Wait for my amazing performance."
"…Don't lose, Kiana."
Kiana: "After all—if Mei's around, it's like having the strength of a hundred people!"
Within this mental space—
Though there were no long, lingering words,
the farewell between the two was heavy with reluctance.
The chat group fell silent.
Even as superhuman beings who had long grown used to partings of life and death,
they were still deeply moved by this bond—
A bond so pure, so untainted by benefits or calculation,
that even the collapse of the world could not shake it in the slightest.
[March 7th: QAQ why are you making me cry again?!]
[Sushang: They haven't seen each other for such a long time, have they…]
[Jean: Perhaps not long in real time.]
[Jean: But for the two of them—who need each other so deeply—it's been far, far too long.]
[Furina: Especially after everything that happened in between…]
[Theresa: Sigh…]
[Kamisato Ayaka: There are just too many things keeping them apart.]
[Kamisato Ayaka: Otto, Kevin, the Honkai itself—too many things they must overcome.]
[Tesla: That's why this battle must be won.]
[Tesla: Not only for all humanity and everything beautiful in this world—]
[Kiana: But also for the people I care about!]
[Raiden Mei: For Kiana.]
[Kiana: For Mei.]
[March 7th: FIGHT!!!]
Reality.
Mei felt her arm suddenly being held tighter, pressed into something soft and warm.
She turned to look at Kiana.
Kiana's expression was pitiful, almost fragile.
"Mei…"
"I'm not going anywhere."
Mei made her promise before Kiana could finish.
This time, she wouldn't leave again.
No matter how many difficulties lay ahead,
no matter if the Will of Honkai loomed above her—
No matter what.
