(Just to clarify, this book has no protagonist. If I had to name one, it would be the system.)
[Stelle: Weren't you going to post a video?]
[March 7th: Did something go wrong?]
[Kiana: @System, System, are you there?]
[System: Hold on. This is the first video of my system life, so of course I have to choose carefully.]
[System: Let me see... Okay, this one! It can also help you learn about the protagonists of your own worlds.]
[Theresa: The protagonists of our worlds? I wonder if they can help us fight Honkai Impact.]
[Ruan Mei: I wonder whether the protagonists of a world have any differences in their physical structure.]
The screen in the Livestream Room lit up.
The video began playing: <Dreamseeker Has Now Joined Scum Lord's Deluxe Package> (Original creator on Little Broken Site: Ten Thousand Chives)
In a pink room, a grayish-brown-haired woman wearing glasses appeared and greeted the people in front of her.
"Hello, you two. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to check on me."
Across from her sat the two protagonists from the neighboring games: Scum Lumine, who had traveled across the entire Teyvat Continent, and A Xing, the Stellaris Core who had only just taken human form.
Scum Lumine and A Xing unhesitatingly picked up the drinks on the table and enjoyed them.
"It's nothing. I just saved a country, so I'm taking a break."
"It's nothing. I just grasped the mysteries of the universe, so I'm letting it settle."
[Stelle: Oh-ho! So I, Galaxy Bat Man, really am the protagonist of this world.]
[Himeko (Honkai: Star Rail): It seems you really are...]
[Jean: So the Honorable Knight is the protagonist of our world?]
[Lumine: I never thought my identity as the protagonist would finally be impossible to hide.]
Having just saved Mondstadt and now working hard on commissions to cover Paimon's food expenses, Lumine discovered that she was actually the protagonist and could not help revealing a lecherous, wicked grin.
Unlike Stelle, who had just been born, Lumine had traveled through several worlds. Naturally, she knew just how good a protagonist's life would become in the end. Being surrounded by beauties, indulging in wine and women—those were all commonplace.
At the thought of her future self being surrounded by countless gorgeous, graceful young women, enjoying their infatuated admiration and pursuit, while also receiving endless respect and reverence from people in every direction, Lumine's heart surged with indescribable excitement and exhilaration.
Lumine could no longer wait to embark on this journey filled with beautiful girls. As for her brother? Heh. Lumine said she did not have a brother who got to play prince while watching his little sister wander around and suffer.
[Kiana: I'm not the protagonist?]
[Bronya (Honkai Impact): Idiot Kiana, that hot-blooded idiot character setting of yours went out of style long ago. Bronya is more like a protagonist than you are.]
[Kiana: Mei~ Look, the shorty is making fun of me again.]
[Mei: All right, Kiana. Whether you're the protagonist or not, you're still the most important person to me.]
[Kiana (?˙▽˙?): Hehehe~ Mei is the best.]
Just as those two shamelessly showered everyone with affection, the cutest principal in the world mercilessly interrupted them.
[Theresa: So, is that Dreamseeker the protagonist of our world? Why haven't I heard of her since I showed up? Grandpa, do you know? @Otto]
[Otto: Unfortunately, my dear granddaughter, Grandpa has never heard of this person either.]
[Tesla: Otto, you ***********! You definitely hid our world's protagonist somewhere, you *******!]
[Welt Yang (Honkai: Star Rail): No, Dr. Tesla. While he certainly deserves to die, this protagonist probably has nothing to do with him.]
[Tesla: Welt, why are you speaking up for him? (▼皿▼#)! Wait, why does your name say Honkai: Star Rail?]
[Welt Yang (Honkai Impact): Doctor, that isn't me.]
[Welt Yang (Honkai: Star Rail): This... my situation is rather complicated. Let's talk privately later.]
(To avoid padding the word count, Welt Yang from Honkai: Star Rail would be called Old Yang from now on.)
Old Yang did not dare casually tell people from the Honkai Impact world that he had traveled here after they defeated Honkai Impact. If he changed the future somehow and caused humanity's extinction, he would not even have anywhere to cry about it.
[Theresa: Don't change the subject! So where exactly is the protagonist of our world? Haven't they joined yet?]
[System: You'll know if you keep watching.]
The video continued. Looking at the two seniors before her, who clearly did not treat themselves like outsiders at all, Dreamseeker could only awkwardly reply,
"Uh... i-is that so?"
Perhaps her conscience had not completely died, so Scum Lumine decided to help the junior before her.
"The second part is about to launch. I think I need to give you some guidance."
Stelle beside her chimed in, "Yes, it's very necessary."
Lumine put on an expression that said she was totally reliable and declared, "As a senior, this is only proper."
Seeing Scum Lumine acting like a senior to the protagonist of a game that had clearly launched several years before her own, the Stellaris Core beside her could not help complaining, "Wait a second, who exactly is the senior here?"
Scum Lumine replied with an annoyed look, "A senior in open worlds. Got a problem with that?"
A Xing wore an expression that said she was the real senior as she said, "That game and ours are both enclosed worlds. We don't have as much running around as you do."
Scum Lumine retorted irritably, "She can jump. That still gives her a bit more than you."
Having been struck right in her sore spot, A Xing replied just as irritably, "Can we still have a pleasant conversation?"
Dreamseeker beside them complained with black lines all over her face, "It seems you two are really that bored."
[Theresa: Wait, what does 'second part' mean?]
[System: Exactly what it says. You are the first part, while the Dreamseeker in the video is the protagonist of the second part.]
[Theresa: Then our protagonist is...]
[System: Of course, it's our ultimate, invincible, goddamn adorable Kiana.]
Old Yang from the Honkai: Star Rail world showed an expression of "just as I thought" when he saw the system say that Kiana was the protagonist. After all, in his time, Kiana was...
[Theresa: It's actually Kiana?]
[Mei: Yes, yes, yes. Kiana is the greatest.]
[Bronya (Honkai Impact): How is that possible? Idiot Kiana is actually the protagonist? This world is doomed.]
[Kiana (＊｀д′): What do you mean by that, shorty? I'm the protagonist. At most, you're my little sidekick.]
[Bronya (Honkai Impact): Bronya has the rare traits of emotionless girl, loli, and robot girl. Unlike a hot-blooded idiot like you, whose type is everywhere, even if Bronya isn't the protagonist, she'll definitely be an ultra-popular character.]
[Kiana: I'm the protagonist of our world. Do you even understand how valuable that is?]
[Mei: All right, Kiana, Bronya, stop arguing. Otherwise, don't even think about eating my cooking tonight.]
[Kiana: I can't eat Mei's cooking?! You might as well kill me! In that case, I'll be magnanimous and forgive this shorty.]
[Bronya (Honkai Impact): Bronya won't stoop to arguing with this idiot Grassworm.]
