Why would you treat Kiana like this… It hurts! It hurts so much!!

The story in the game continued.

This time, it wasn't Kiana who rushed into Mei's arms.

Instead, Mei sprinted over and hugged Kiana tightly, as if afraid she would run away the next second.

"Kiana... you're injured..." Mei's voice was choked with emotion as she spoke.

"I'll take you back, back to the Hyperion. The Headmaster and the others are waiting for you..."

The sad music, coupled with this reunion, and Mei's choked voice...

Many emotional viewers' eyes also turned red.

"I... I can't go back... Mei..."

Kiana's words trailed off, her eyes filled with utter despair.

She felt incredibly pained and conflicted right now.

Even if Mei and the others could still accept her, still treat her like before.

Kiana couldn't accept herself... nor could she laugh carefreely with her friends as she used to.

Once some things happen, they're like scars etched onto your face. A forced smile only makes the pain more apparent.

Moreover, she didn't know when she would lose control again and hurt her friends.

Finally... the people of Sky Dome City were also waiting for her to save them...

For all reasons, she couldn't go back.

"Mei... I'm sorry, I can't go back!"

This answer made Mei's pupils contract.

Whether it was Kiana's evasive gaze when she saw her, or her unwavering refusal now...

It all felt incredibly unfamiliar to Mei.

To her now, Kiana seemed like a wounded little beast, curling up alone in a corner, carefully licking her wounds.

She didn't know what Kiana had gone through in these three months to be tormented into this state...

Her heart ached, tears welled up in her eyes, and her arms around Kiana tightened even more.

[Damn you, MiHoYo... I thought it was candy... but you suddenly stabbed me]

[It's clearly a knife, but you insisted on pretending to be candy!!]

[MiHoYo boss, did you suffer some kind of psychological trauma? Huh?]

[MiHoYo... you're too cruel, sob sob sob~~ Mei... Kiana...]

It wasn't just the comments; even the usually optimistic Kiana couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes trembling slightly.

Perhaps because Kiana was using her template, she felt the emotions even more deeply.

Playing up to this point, Kiana became extremely flustered and quickly looked around.

Seeing Mei in the distance, she then rushed towards her in grief and anger, "Mei! Wuwuwu~~"

Himeko: "..."

She had also been deeply pained by this plot twist, but seeing Kiana's clumsy actions, she helplessly shook her head, took the keyboard and mouse, and continued to advance the plot.

The audience in the live stream naturally heard Kiana's shout just now.

[Mei? I think I heard Kiana call out to Mei!]

[The scene is already showing Kiana crying over the game's plot, then crying and asking Mei for a hug...]

[Wuwuwu~ It's so sweet in reality, but so heartbreaking in the story...]

[Sister Himeko, can you change the camera angle? I want to see the blooming yuri~]

Himeko paid no attention to the comments.

She really wanted to see what happened next.

Would Kiana return to the Hyperion with Mei?

It was strange, even though it was a heartbreaking plot, she still couldn't help but want to keep watching.

She clicked on the game's story.

Then the screen cut, and Fu Hua's somewhat awkward voice sounded: "Ahem... Kiana, now is not the time for reminiscing. Enemies are rushing through the passage. Remind Mei to prepare for battle..."

Kiana also took a deep breath, suppressing the sorrow in her heart, and said with utmost seriousness: "Mei, give me a moment..."

"We have to leave here now. Once we resolve the crisis in this city, we can talk about other things."

Seeing Kiana, who was completely different from before, Mei couldn't hide her heartache.

But she also understood the urgency of the situation, so she nodded, indicating she understood.

"Rita has told me everything relevant..." Mei couldn't help but add, "Kiana, I hope you understand... everyone on the Hyperion will always wait for you!"

Kiana: "..."

With mixed feelings, Kiana and Mei cleared the enemies in the passageway together.

When they finally had some free time, Kiana explained to Mei with a serious expression:

"Mei, back in the lab just now, that guy with the dog head revealed their plan..."

"Besides modifying the vaccine to activate the Stigmata within the human body, World Serpent will also create a Honkai disaster that covers the entire city to completely activate the Stigmata."

Mei looked worried: "Is there no detailed time or location? If that's the case, even if we tear this place apart, we won't be able to stop their plan..."

"I know their plan~" Just as the two were frowning, Rita suddenly appeared behind them.

"It seems Miss Kiana is in good condition... that puts my mind at ease~~"

Seeing Rita appear, Mei immediately became vigilant: "I will never let you take Kiana away!!"

She thought Rita was there to capture Kiana.

Facing Mei's vigilance, Rita just smiled faintly: "Calm down, I told you, in this city, we are on the same side~"

Following that, Rita provided them with the location of the Honkai energy bombs and the consequences of their detonation.

If World Serpent's plan succeeded, it would not only cause the deaths of everyone in the city but also pin the blame on Schicksal.

Therefore, Rita would absolutely not betray Mei and Kiana on this matter.

After hearing Rita's account, Mei and Kiana finally let down their guard against her.

Kiana: "It seems... we can't waste any more time here!"

"That's right~" Rita smiled faintly: "However... the other party doesn't seem to want us to leave so openly..."

Looking at the enemies surging from the distance, Rita stood in front of Kiana and Mei with her scythe: "Miss Kiana... do you remember what you told me?"

"'Stopping the disaster is more important than running away.'"

"Now... I'll hold them off, and I'll leave disarming the bombs to you."

Kiana didn't hesitate and nodded solemnly: "I understand!"

"Oh, and thank you for coming to save me in that situation... this way, we're even~"

However, as Kiana and Mei headed to the top of the signal tower, Raven suddenly appeared again and blocked Kiana's path.

And with the plot reaching this point, it finally arrived at the last stage of Chapter 14.

After a dialogue between Raven and Kiana.

The audience finally discovered that Raven seemed to hate the Herrscher of the Void intensely.

And from Raven's words, it was learned that she seemed to be a victim of the Second Honkai outbreak as well.

Thinking about it this way, Raven didn't seem so hateful anymore.

After all, she didn't know that Kiana wasn't the Herrscher from back then.

The dialogue ended.

And the boss of this final stage was, unsurprisingly, Raven.

After Himeko, controlling Kiana, painstakingly defeated Raven, another dialogue popped up.

When Raven thought she was certain to die, Kiana unexpectedly let her go, which surprised her immensely.

"Hehehe... I held you off... I won this battle!"

Hearing Raven's cold laugh, Kiana understood that there was probably no time left to make it.

To reach this point, Kiana had almost exhausted all the strength in her body, forcing herself to walk on the verge of collapse.

But she was a step too late at the final moment...

She was somewhat broken and blamed herself.

"...We've come this far... and there's no time left! No..."

"There must be another way..."

Just then, Fu Hua's voice echoed again.

"Kiana, use the Herrscher of the Void's power with all your might... I will do my best to restrain the Herrscher of the Void's personality, so you can freely use the power of the Herrscher core!"

Kiana looked worried: "But... Class Monitor, you're already very weak..."

Fu Hua smiled: "You were right before, when a person looks back on the past, they realize they were always running away."

"Those who sacrificed themselves due to Honkai are gone, they didn't get to witness firsthand the world becoming better because of your efforts... But..."

"You can let those who are still alive witness all of this firsthand."

"So... do what you need to do..."

Seeing this, the audience and Himeko felt a tremor in their hearts...

Is Fu Hua's story also ending?

In the final narration, Kiana and Mei parted ways once more, heading alone towards the tall tower that loomed in the night sky.

[Class President!! MiHoYo, you...]

[Don't panic... this is just a feather, the real Class President is still waiting to come online.]

[Sob sob sob... Mei just reunited with Kiana and now they have to part again... A]

Himeko also took a deep breath, quietly looking at the play button on the stage selection screen.

This was the anime short film that accompanied every major chapter.

It also meant that the story of Chapter 14 would conclude with this short film.

Chapter 59: Sky Dome Meteor, Moved, Shocked, In Tears!

MiHoYo had released a total of 4 anime short films so far.

Almost every short film was of top-tier quality.

But what left the deepest impression on players were the shock brought by "Queen's Descent" and the emotion and heartache from "The Last Lesson"...

Himeko still clearly remembered the synopsis of "The Last Lesson"—

[Even if dark clouds obscure the sun, I will burn the sky to guide you home.]

This was like Himeko's vow; even with no hope, she would burn herself to ignite hope and awaken her student, Kiana.
