Making Genshin Impact: Elysia Becomes My Spokesperson

As Kiana and the others' teacher, she was very responsible and serious.

And as a warrior, she would be very rational and consider the overall situation.

This was also an important reason why Eden became a Himeko fan.

Eden still remembered that in a previous scene, despite the very joyful atmosphere, Himeko acted out of character.

She said to Kiana in an unusually solemn tone:

"If one day, your comrades lose control due to Honkai energy, you must not hesitate... to end her life..."

It could be said that the achievements Himeko had attained were definitely the peak for most Schicksal Valkyries.

Because the fate of ordinary Valkyries was already sealed...

So, as one of the ordinary Valkyries, Himeko had at most two endings.

One was to be completely eroded by Honkai energy and turn into a Death Warrior...

The second ending... was to have a glorious finale as a warrior...

As long as the final battle was spectacular enough, that would be MiHoYo's best gift to Himeko.

PS: I know what my precious darlings want to see, the next chapter is The Last Lesson.

These two chapters were too difficult to write. So...

Could I ask for some free data~ whimper~

I'll post it after waking up in the next chapter.

Chapter 29: "The Last Lesson"

"Eden..."

Elysia looked at Eden, who was frowning, and already understood what the other was thinking.

After all, anyone who had watched the short film just now, unless they were an idiot, could guess the subsequent plot.

But would not watching this video change Himeko's fate?

Obviously not, and it would only leave regrets in Eden's heart.

How could Elysia let Eden have regrets?

She blinked her bright eyes and hugged Eden's arm: "Eden, don't worry, just click on it with confidence~"

"Life is bound to have bumps, but you can rely on Elysia to your heart's content. I will use all my heart to transform into a brilliant Starlight River and adorn your sky."

"Elysia will never make you sad~"

Eden let out a deep breath and forced a reluctant smile: "Thank you, Elysia..."

"Then let me see how spectacular Himeko's final battle will be..."

Amidst the wails of the audience, Eden clicked the final play button.

The video began with an alarm sound as Benares attacked the Hyperion.

Himeko, wearing the Vermilion Knight: Eclipse armor, easily defeated this Judgment-class Honkai beast.

Just as she swung her greatsword, about to kill Benares, the Herrscher of the Void suddenly appeared and pulled her into the Imaginary Space.

The quality of this short film was on the same level as "Queen's Descent"; every frame, if captured, was enough to be used as a wallpaper.

Eden also watched with great seriousness.

"Hehehehe~☆"

The Herrscher of the Void's distinctive laughter echoed.

She stood in the void, exuding a queenly aura: "Did you think~ you could escape~☆"

Himeko felt no fear in her heart; on the contrary, her fighting spirit was high.

But the Herrscher of the Void merely beckoned with one hand, and Himeko's body was sent flying far away.

"Struggle as much as you can~☆"

She waved her arm and snapped her fingers.

"Snap~"

A purple cube enveloped Himeko, and then, the Spear of Subspace transformed into a blade, slicing the purple cube containing Himeko into several pieces as if it were cutting tofu.

"That's all you've got~☆"

The Herrscher of the Void glanced contemptuously at the ruins in the distance and turned to leave this space.

Eden watched, her heart filled with anxiety, and her brow furrowed: "This... is the Herrscher of the Void that strong? Himeko has no power to fight back..."

However, the next second, a blade pierced the Herrscher of the Void with lightning speed.

At the critical moment, the Queen summoned a void rift to transfer the blade, thus neutralizing the attack.

Seeing this, Eden finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, the screen switched to Himeko's perspective.

Himeko's panting voice came through the earphones.

"Is your attack... over..."

The camera moved from bottom to top, gradually revealing Himeko's current appearance.

Skin covered in purple patterns, tattered battle armor, a swaying body... Seeing Himeko in such a disheveled state pained Eden deeply.

The song "Nightglow" began to play at this moment.

The opening notes were clearly epic, yet they also carried a hint of tragic solemnity.

Eden's breath hitched, and her nose began to sting.

Although she was sad, she was also moved.

Perhaps it was the preceding build-up that made her realize Himeko's inevitable fate, thus providing an outlet for her emotions.

That build-up was like a pair of gentle hands, guiding Eden's emotions, making her less unable to accept Himeko's death, and thus alleviating her stifled frustration.

At the same time, it meticulously introduced Himeko to her, showcasing Himeko's shining moments.

It made her like Himeko from the inside out, rather than simply liking her because she was pretty.

Now, it was time for Himeko's curtain call. Was this a "stab"?

It certainly felt like a stab.

But because of the build-up beforehand, it wasn't the kind of stab that suddenly comes at you and asks:

"Hahaha, does this stab hurt? It should hurt, because I just felt like it and ran over to stab you. Seeing you cry your heart out makes me happy, hahahaha..."

That kind of stab would only make people feel bewildered, leading to anger, a desire to smash their keyboard, and a wish to send razor blades to the scriptwriter.

Therefore.

Eden wasn't angry now; instead, a complex emotion surged within her, causing her eyes to redden.

She both wished for Himeko's final battle to be more glorious and hoped that Himeko wouldn't truly die.

Because by this point, Eden had completely fallen for the character of Himeko.

Himeko had been thoroughly elevated in her heart.

"Kiana... when you wake up, you'll see that everything has changed. You'll find that this world is no longer beautiful..."

"Those ordinary days will also be gone forever..."

"But... don't give up! Absolutely don't give up!"

The music shifted, becoming more passionate and fiery. Coupled with Himeko's heart-wrenching roar, Eden could no longer hold back her tears.

At this moment, Himeko cut through all the gloom, transforming into the world's only light, illuminating the night sky that turned its back to the sun.

Just like the song's title, "Nightglow."

If there's no sun, I'll ignite myself and light up the earth so you can see—the way home.

"Aunt Himeko, I will become the strongest Valkyrie." The girls of St. Freya appeared in Himeko's mind one by one, as if bidding her farewell.

Finally, Himeko vaguely saw Kiana's goofy, innocent smile.

"Kiana! Lift your head and keep moving forward. Go and turn this imperfect story into the one you desire!"

A brilliant light illuminated the entire Imaginary Space.

After the light faded, Himeko knelt before Kiana, her eyes vacant.

The sword that burned all her vitality wasn't aimed at Kiana, but to get close to her.

"Live on... Kiana, this is..."

"The Last Lesson..."

The song began, and Eden's tears fell, a sob involuntarily escaping her throat.

[The way I got through with red roses burn my eyes.]

On the path, red roses burned my eyes.

[Cold rain starts pouring hard, I'm being called upon.]

Cold rain pours heavily; I am here only for a summons.

[Never let you go, it's why I did them all.]

I will never let you go; that's why I did all of this.

[Pictured: Murata Himeko]

Chapter 30: Explodes Online, Completely Goes Viral!

"This is... the Last Lesson..."

The greatsword shattered, sparks extinguished, and Himeko collapsed powerlessly.

At some point, the Godkiller Spear had been injected into Kiana.

As the Herrscher of the Void let out a piercing scream, Kiana finally regained consciousness.

But at this moment, Kiana no longer had the strength to hold onto her teacher, Himeko.

She could only watch as the other woman drifted further and further away from her.

The song "Nightglow" seemed to be telling a story as well.

[Sostayalive,bravely.]

So please, be brave and stay alive.

The short film ended, and the end credits slowly rolled.

The production team for the animated short film "The Last Lesson."

A MiHoYo production.

As the song played, Eden finally couldn't help but cry when she saw the four characters for "The Last Lesson."

"Waaah~~"

Seeing this, Elysia quickly pulled Eden into her embrace.

She wanted to say something to comfort her, but Eden kept shaking her head, as if to stop Elysia from speaking, or perhaps as if she wanted to say something herself, but each time Eden tried to speak, her words were interrupted by sobs and whimpers.

She could only collapse into Elysia's arms, crying and shaking her head.

Her heart was in turmoil right now; there was no heartbreaking pain, no rage or fury.

She cried quietly, but tears flowed like a spring, completely unstoppable.
