The video continues.

Kiana, who had been gaming, suddenly seemed to remember something (like homework, or homework, and more homework) and yelped, "Holy crap, I messed up! I lost track of time without realizing it. What time is it now..."

Kiana looked at the clock on the wall, which showed "7:00 PM sharp."

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew~ It's only been an hour. Scared me to death."

Kiana turned back to her phone. "Let me just finish this round, then I'll do my homework."

A golden light burst from Kiana's eyes, as if she had made some kind of resolution.

"Now it's a matter of life and death! Finishing 30 sets in 5 hours—6 sets an hour is just right."

"I need to play a battle anthem. Ignite, my soul of study!"

Unsurprisingly, Kiana picked up her phone again to look for a "battle anthem."

War of Schicksal

"No, this one's too soft."

<Only known as Honkai Impact 3rd background music, but couldn't find the name>

"No, this one's too noisy, it's distracting."

Also couldn't find the name (If anyone knows, please tell the author—the author searched for ages and couldn't find which two songs these were.)

"No, this isn't my style."

TruE

"Holy crap, they released a new song! The melody's amazing, the lyrics are awesome!"

"I've listened to it several times, and it gets better each time. No wonder it's from my favorite artist..."

At this point, Kiana finally snapped out of it and quickly looked at the clock. "Holy crap, I messed up! I wasted almost another hour for nothing. I'm such an idiot."

Cool Tea! (Advanced transition sound effect)

"Holy crap, I messed up! I totally forgot today was the New Year's Eve livestream!"

"It's 8:55 now. I'll just pop in for 5 minutes to leave a comment, start homework at 9:00 sharp, and catch up on the rest of the show later."

[Mei: Kiana...]

[Bronya (Honkai): Idiot Kiana, you're exactly as Bronya expected. Of course you wouldn't seriously do your homework.]

[Kiana: Shorty, what's that supposed to mean? Are you looking down on me?!]

[Bronya: Bronya refuses to talk to a Grassworm.]

[Kiana: Shorty, if you've got the guts, then you... you...]

[Kiana: Wah... Mei, look at Bronya! She's bullying me again! Boohoo... (´;ω;`)]

At that moment, Kiana shoved her head into Mei's soft chest, nuzzling back and forth.

Bronya watched from the side, her eyes full of envy.

"Idiot Kiana, get off Sister Mei right now! You still have homework to finish."

"Alright, Bronya. Kiana's been working for a while too. Let her rest a bit," Mei said gently to Bronya.

"Yeah, yeah, Shorty. Mei herself didn't say anything," Kiana said, pulling her face out of Mei's softness just long enough to retort before burying it back in.

Bronya watched the two of them flaunting their affection right in front of her and silently made a decision: once Bronya finds Seele, she's going to shove all this dog food right back at them.

The video continues.

Time quickly rolled around to 10:00 PM.

By then, the New Year's Eve show was finally ending, and Kiana, who had watched the whole thing, was moved to tears. "Boo-hoo~ This year's show was way too good."

Suddenly, Kiana snapped out of it and whipped her head toward the clock.

"Holy crap, I messed up! The show was so amazing it sucked away another hour. There's no way I'm finishing today..."

But ever the cheerful optimist, Bug Bug quickly perked up and comforted herself. "No worries—let's think bigger. Stretch out the timeline. If I finish by 2:00 AM tomorrow, that gives me four more hours to get the homework done!"

"Go, Kiana! I'll turn this imperfect homework plan into a perfect one!"

Just then, Kiana's phone rang.

"Huh? Who's texting me?"

Kiana picked up her phone, and her eyes lit up with gossipy excitement. "Holy crap, I messed up! There's actually a scoop like this? Hehehe..."

Midnight, 12:00 AM

A voice of despair suddenly rang out from Kiana's room. "Holy crap, I messed up! I chatted all the way to midnight. If I don't start now, I'll start dozing off!" Kiana felt like giving up.

But then she remembered that if she didn't finish her homework, she'd have to drink Bitter Gourd Juice for a whole semester—and suddenly, motivation surged. "But it's okay," Kiana said, tossing her phone aside (Phone: So you just throw me away like that?). Her demeanor shifted into something invincible. "Tonight shall be called Kiana Night."

"One pen, one miracle!"

Standing before the mountain of homework, Kiana swore an oath to the Kaslana Family's soul of study (though does their family even have one?). "Humanity will triumph over homework!"

The scene shifted. A Bug Bug with a halo over her head and red Bitter Gourd Juice dripping from her mouth lay peacefully on the ground.

"Is this the end... Bitter Gourd Juice... I don't want to drink it..."

Kiana's consciousness slowly sank into darkness...

When she came to again, she suddenly heard Bronya shouting, "Over here, over here, hurry up, Kiana! How are you still dozing off!?"

"Uh... weird..." Hearing Bronya's words, Kiana felt like she'd heard that line somewhere before.

Just then, Himeko pushed open the door and walked in, wearing glasses. "Kiana, are you two playing games again? How about doing some homework?"

"That line sounds familiar too... Wait, isn't that what Himeko said yesterday?" Kiana's "brilliant" little mind suddenly clicked: Could it be... I was just dreaming!?

Hearing Himeko's words, Bronya finally realized, "Oh no! That much time has passed? Bronya thought it had only been a few days."

Mei then chimed in, "Only one day left!? I still have a good chunk left to do!?"

Everything seemed the same as before, except...

"There's still a whole day! That's great!" Kiana exclaimed excitedly.

Kiana was now absolutely certain she'd just been dreaming—there was still a full day left to catch up on homework.

Mei looked at the excited Kiana and asked in confusion, "Huh... didn't you not do any homework at all?"

Kiana ignored Mei and cheerfully walked toward her room. "So it was a dream! Woo-hoo! I'm going to do my homework—there's still time!"

Bronya and Mei watched Kiana happily heading to her room, dumbfounded, and muttered, "What's she so happy about..."

Even Himeko felt a little relieved seeing that Kiana, who usually hated homework the most, was actually going to do it.

Himeko turned to Seele and said, "What are you two standing around for? If you have time, hurry up and catch up!"
