The video continued.
While playing her game, Kiana suddenly seemed to remember something—like homework, or homework, or perhaps homework—and cried out, "Fuck, I miscalculated! I lost track of time without realizing it. It's now..."
Kiana looked at the clock on the wall. It read "19:00."
Kiana let out a sigh of relief. "Phew~ Thank goodness, only an hour has passed. You scared me to death."
Kiana turned back to her phone. "I need to finish this round quickly, then do my homework."
A golden light burst from Kiana's eyes, as though she had made some kind of resolution.
"It's a critical moment of life and death! Thirty sets in five hours—six sets an hour, just right."
"I need a battle song. Let my soul of learning burn!"
As expected, Kiana picked up her phone again and started searching for "battle songs."
War of Schicksal
"No, this one's too gentle."
<I only know it's a Honkai Impact 3rd background track but couldn't find the title>
"No, this one's too noisy. It's distracting."
Also couldn't find the title (If anyone knows, please tell the author. The author searched forever and still couldn't find these two songs.)
"No, this isn't one I like."
TruE (A Story Because of You)
"Fuck, they actually released a new song! The melody is amazing, and the lyrics are fantastic!"
"I listened to it several times. The more I listened, the better it sounded. Just as expected of my favorite creator..."
Only then did Kiana finally snap out of it and hurriedly look at the clock. "Fuck, I miscalculated! I wasted nearly another hour for nothing! I'm such an idiot."
Cool Tea! (Advanced transition sound effect)
"Fuck, I miscalculated! I actually forgot that the New Year Gala livestream was today!"
"It's 8:55 now. I'll just go in for five minutes and leave a comment. I'll start my homework right at 9:00. I can catch up on the remaining shows later."
[Mei: Kiana...]
[Bronya (Honkai Impact): Idiot Kiana, you really didn't surprise Bronya at all. As expected, you won't seriously do your homework.]
[Kiana: What do you mean, shorty? Are you looking down on me?!]
[Bronya: Bronya refuses to speak with a Grassworm.]
[Kiana: Shorty, if you've got the guts, then... then...]
[Kiana: Waaah... Mei, look at Bronya! She's bullying me again, waah waah... (*?????)]
At that moment, Kiana buried her head in Mei's soft chest and kept rubbing against her.
Bronya watched from the side, her eyes full of envy.
"Idiot Kiana, get off Sister Mei already! You still haven't finished your homework."
"Come on, Bronya. Kiana has been working for a long time too. Let her rest for a while," Mei said gently to Bronya.
"Exactly, shorty. Mei hasn't said anything herself." Kiana poked her face out of Mei's softness, spoke to Bronya, then stuffed it back in.
Watching the two of them flaunt their affection right in front of her, Bronya silently made a decision: once Bronya found Seele again, she would return every bit of dog food she had eaten.
The video continued.
In the blink of an eye, the time had reached 22:00.
The New Year Gala was finally coming to an end, and Kiana, who had watched the whole thing, shed tears of emotion. "Waaah~ This year's program was so good."
Suddenly, Kiana came to her senses and sharply turned to look at the clock.
"Fuck, I miscalculated! The show was just too amazing. It sucked away another hour. There's definitely no way I can finish today..."
But cheerful and optimistic Bug Bug quickly pulled herself together and comforted herself. "But it's okay. We need to broaden our perspective and stretch out the time. I'll finish at two in the morning tomorrow, and then I'll have another four hours to do my homework!"
"Go, Kiana! I'll make this imperfect homework plan perfect!"
Just then, Kiana's phone suddenly rang.
"Hm? Who sent me a message?"
Kiana picked up her phone, and a gossiping gleam immediately lit up in her eyes. "Fuck, I miscalculated. There's actually gossip like this? Hehehe..."
00:00.
A despairing voice suddenly came from Kiana's room. "Fuck, I miscalculated! I actually chatted until midnight! If I don't start now, I'll begin nodding off!" Kiana felt somewhat like giving up.
But when she thought of having to drink bitter gourd juice for an entire semester if she did not finish her homework, Kiana instantly regained her motivation. "But it's okay." Kiana tossed her phone aside. (Phone: So you're just throwing me away like this?) Her demeanor suddenly became invincible again. "Tonight is called Kiana Night."
"One person, one pen, one miracle!"
Before her towering pile of homework, Kiana swore an oath to the Kaslana Family's soul of learning. (By the way, does their family really have something like that?) "Humanity will definitely defeat homework!"
The scene changed. A Bug Bug with a halo above her head and red bitter gourd juice flowing from her mouth lay peacefully on the floor.
"Is this the end... Bitter gourd juice... I don't want to drink it..."
Kiana's consciousness gradually sank into darkness...
When she regained consciousness again, she suddenly heard Bronya shouting by her ear, "Over here, over here, over here! Hurry up, Kiana! Why are you still dozing off?!"
"Uh... strange..." Upon hearing Bronya's words, Kiana felt as though she had heard those lines somewhere before.
Just then, Himeko, wearing glasses, pushed open the door and walked in. "Kiana, you're playing games again? Could you go do some homework?"
"This sounds so familiar too... Wait, wasn't this what Himeko said yesterday?" Kiana's "wise" little brain suddenly reacted. Could it be... everything just now was only a dream!?
Only after hearing Himeko did Bronya realize it. "Oh no! So much time has passed already. Bronya thought we had only been playing for a few days."
Mei also came over at that moment. "There's only one day left!? I still have nearly half of mine unfinished!?"
Everything seemed exactly the same as before, except...
"There's actually still one day! That's wonderful!" Kiana exclaimed excitedly.
Kiana was now completely certain that she had only had a dream. She still had a full day to catch up on her homework.
Mei looked at the excited Kiana and asked somewhat doubtfully, "Huh... Didn't you not do any of your homework at all?"
Kiana ignored Mei and happily walked toward her room. "So it was a dream! Woohoo! I'm going to do my homework. There's still time for everything!"
Bronya and Mei watched Kiana happily head toward her room, then commented in bafflement, "What is she so happy about...?"
Seeing that even Kiana, who normally hated doing homework the most, had gone to do her homework, Himeko felt somewhat gratified.
Himeko turned to Sin and Seele and said,
"What are you standing around for? Get to catching up while you still have time!"
