"I wonder how long we'll have to wait..." Hu Tao rested her chin on her hand, looking a bit dejected.

"Mmm... I've always been curious, Ganyu is so beautiful, why didn't the boss use her template to create a character?" Bronya stroked her chin, looking Mo Li up and down.

"Besides, I also really want to see how the boss voices other female characters..."

Mo Li: "..."

"Can your curiosity not be so immense..." Mo Li rubbed his forehead.

"Alright, everyone, get back to what you were doing. I'll call you when it's your turn to voice."

"Go prepare the version that's updating tomorrow."

"As for Ganyu's character..."

Hearing Mo Li call her name, Ganyu's face couldn't help but flush slightly. "Boss, it's really not that troublesome... As long as I can make games with everyone, I'm already happy."

Mo Li smiled. "That won't do. How can such a cute template like Ganyu's be wasted~"

At his words, Ganyu's face turned even redder.

"However, Ganyu's template, I'm planning to put it aside for later. As for what kind of character it will be... you'll find out when the time comes~"

After saying this, Mo Li put away his computer and slowly stood up. "Any more questions?"

The girls shook their heads.

"Alright~ Bronya, come with me for a moment."

With that, Mo Li led the way to the voice recording studio.

Bronya didn't hesitate, and amidst Himeko and Rita's teasing, she followed him with a slight blush on her face.

"Sigh... Ever since I finished my part, the boss has never called me alone again~"

"Alright, Sister Himeko, stop teasing Bronya. Come help me quickly."

Just then, the studio's phone suddenly rang.

"It's probably the agent from Sakura Country."

Answering the phone, Rita's uniquely alluring yet not seductive voice rang out. "Hello~ Who is this?"

"Excuse me, is this MiHoYo Studio?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are..."

"I'm Eden. I'd like to visit your studio. I arranged it with your boss the day before yesterday."

Hearing the gentle and dignified voice on the phone, the girls all turned their heads in surprise.

The superstar Eden?! She's actually coming to visit the studio?

Even though they weren't fanatical fans, they had all heard of this globally famous singer.

"Hello? Hello? Are you still listening?"

Rita was stunned for a moment before snapping back to reality, then continued with a smile, "Apologies, Miss Eden, where are you now?"

Eden: "I'm right outside your studio, but your studio's main gate is closed."

"Please wait a moment, we'll come down to greet you right away~"

"Okay, thank you for your trouble~"

Suddenly, another lively and spirited voice reached Rita's ears. "Hi~ Your voice sounds so familiar~ Are you the voice actress for Miss Rita in the game~"

"Ai Li, don't be silly... Apologies, Miss, I brought a friend along, that should be okay, right?"

Rita chuckled lightly. "It's no problem, Miss Eden. I assume your friend is Miss Elysia? I've watched her livestreams too~"

Eden on the other end of the phone sounded a bit surprised. "Eh? You know her?"

"Of course, Miss Elysia is very famous." As she said this, Rita's gaze suddenly swept over to Himeko, and a mischievous thought suddenly popped into her mind.

"Miss Eden, please wait a moment, I'll arrange for someone to come down and pick you up right away~"

After hanging up the phone, Rita looked at Himeko with a beaming smile. "Himeko~ Your big star fan is here, aren't you going down to greet her?"

Himeko shot Rita a glare but didn't refuse. She turned and headed downstairs.

When Kiana heard that Eden was here, she was also incredibly surprised.

That was a real superstar! The goddess of their school... no, of all boys worldwide.

Curiosity piqued, Kiana directly caught up to Himeko's footsteps. "Aunt Himeko, I'll go with you~"

"Who are you calling Aunt? (Angry)"

"I'm just using the way they call you in the game, it feels quite natural."

"You should call me Sister Himeko! Don't call me that again in the future..."

"Hehe~ Got it... Sister Himeko!!"

Watching their retreating figures, Rita's smile grew even brighter.

She remembered how heartbroken Eden had been after watching "The Last Lesson."

That live broadcast video had long since spread across the internet.

Eden also had countless fans abroad, so the screen recording from that day was incredibly popular overseas.

This was also one of the main reasons Honkai Impact 3rd was able to find an overseas distributor so quickly.

Don't let the fact that Honkai Impact 3rd has only been out for a month fool you. Thanks to Eden, the game's reputation abroad had already reached celebrity status.

"I wonder what expression Eden will have when she sees Kiana and Himeko..."

Chapter 38: Game Characters Have Come to Reality?!

Rita never expected that Elysia was currently live-streaming.

"Alright~ Today's stream is about to end soon~"

"Keep broadcasting? That won't do, I promised Eden I wouldn't stream MiHoYo Studio~"

Just as Eden was waving goodbye to her viewers, a soft sound came from the entrance of MiHoYo Studio.

Immediately after, two faces incredibly familiar to both Elysia and Eden appeared before them.

Kiana...

Himeko!!

Eden's pupils contracted, her heart filled with shock.

Characters from the game have come to reality?!

At that moment, Elysia's live stream camera happened to pan over to Himeko and Kiana.

Consequently, the live chat was instantly flooded with question marks.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, everyone in the stream could be sure that the red-haired figure was definitely Himeko.

After all, Himeko had left too deep an impression on them.

While others are known for one movie, Himeko was known worldwide for one animated CG...

As the viewers in the live chat frantically requested Elysia to turn the camera, the stream suddenly went black.

This outcome caused the viewers to cry out in despair.

But... someone always recorded Elysia's streams.

This time was no exception.

Soon, the footage of Himeko and Kiana flashing by quickly spread across the internet.

Meanwhile, outside MiHoYo.

"Wow!! It's really Eden~" Kiana excitedly tiptoed.

If it weren't for it being their first meeting, Kiana would have probably pounced on her.

Fortunately, her reason suppressed that impulsive thought.

Eden finally snapped back to reality.

She stared blankly at the red-haired, imposing woman with her arms crossed, the scenes from "The Last Lesson" reappearing in her mind.

"You're... Murata Himeko?"

"And Kiana!" Elysia also exclaimed, "Wow! Characters from the game have come out~"

"You're just as radiant and dazzling in person as you are in the game~"

Hearing Elysia's voice, Eden suddenly came to her senses, "Elysia, quickly turn off the stream!"

"Hee hee~ I already have~" Elysia wasn't stupid.

MiHoYo had never let Himeko appear publicly, likely because they didn't want to, or for other reasons.

"But... I think I've caused trouble~"

"Hm? You filmed Himeko and Kiana?"

Elysia nodded.

"This..." Eden turned to look at Himeko, unsure how to explain.

Himeko, however, smiled gently, "It's just a brief appearance online, it's fine."

Hearing this, Eden breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Elysia, our star Eden, please come inside to talk," Himeko said, stepping aside.

Seeing Kiana's lovesick expression, Himeko rolled her eyes.

She quickly flicked Kiana's forehead with her finger, "Wipe that drool."

Kiana batted Himeko's arm away, feigning anger, "Hey~ Don't flick my head."

"If I don't remind you, you'll really embarrass me."

"Aunt Himeko is so annoying..."

"How many times do I have to tell you, call me Sister Himeko!"

"But I won't~"

Watching the two bickering in front of her, Eden felt a sting in her nose.

It's so good... Aunt Himeko is still safe and sound, and Kiana is still that innocent, endearingly clumsy girl.

"Oh my, oh my... Eden's gaze is completely drawn to Aunt Himeko~"

Distracted by Elysia's words, Eden finally snapped back to reality.

Right... Honkai Impact 3rd is just a story... Why did I get so invested...

It's really strange.

Elysia's words were also heard by Himeko and Kiana in front.

Kiana didn't react much, but Himeko's head was filled with black lines.

"Damn Mo Li, why did he have to set my age so high? Now everyone's calling me Aunt Himeko..."

However, she still wanted to try and explain, so she turned back to Elysia and said:

"Miss Elysia, I'm actually only 26 years old. Isn't calling me 'Aunt' a bit inappropriate..."

"Huh?" Elysia's face froze for a moment, then she said with a grin, "Wow~ 26 years old, that's a year older than Eden~"

"I knew it, Sister Himeko looks so young and beautiful~ Hee hee~"

Himeko: "..."

She didn't know if Elysia was trying to praise her or subtly dissing her for being old.
