Aftermath of Three Worlds

Stelle, lying in March 7th's room, watched the livestream close and didn't care. She hadn't really expected a reward anyway—even if she'd only been born a few days ago, she knew she'd just shown her face, so why would she get one?

And compared to that General Jing Yuan, who had it worse—he had a ton of screentime in the first half, and still got nothing.

Hey! Wait, thinking about it that way, she'd shown her face and Jing Yuan had a ton of screentime in the first half, and neither got a reward. So that meant her face-showing screentime equaled Jing Yuan's first-half screentime. By that logic...

She was stronger than Jing Yuan!

Woo-hoo! Thinking like that made her feel a lot better.

Who knew that I, Galaxy Bat Man, would be worth more than the Luofu General? I don't know where the Luofu is or who Jing Yuan is, but from those comments, he must be a really big deal.

Yep, this protagonist is just that awesome.

If she weren't holding Little Steel Coin right now, Stelle would've wanted to put her hands on her hips.

But lying on the bed, Stelle hadn't noticed that the door to this room had already opened...

And the room's original owner was standing at the doorway, silently watching her own bed's trash can with a cute smile.

Then, without a word, she walked into the room and locked the door.

That day, Stelle finally remembered the bone-chilling cold of Six-Phased Ice, and the humiliation of cleaning the entire room.

In Mondstadt City, Lumine, who had just finished watching the last video, silently lowered her head. Her hair covered her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

Paimon, seeing Lumine like this, thought fearfully:

"Oh no, oh no, Lumine must have realized her brother is a prince who doesn't want to find her at all, and now she feels abandoned and is thinking of doing something drastic!"

"No way! I have to cheer Lumine up!"

Paimon nudged the brooding Lumine. "Lumine, I'll treat you to dinner today."

Lumine looked up at Paimon in surprise. Actually, she had just been deep in thought about whether to keep looking for her brother. She'd just made a decision when she heard Paimon offer to treat her.

"Paimon, you have Mora?!"

After all, since Paimon was fished out of the water, she'd been with Lumine every day. Just Paimon's food expenses alone were a huge drain. To earn that Mora, Lumine had been waking up early and working late on commissions. And now you're telling me you have Mora?!

"Ehehe..." Paimon rubbed her head sheepishly. "This is Paimon's secret savings!"

With that, Paimon handed over a Slime-shaped piggy bank. "Come on, Paimon's treating today!"

But... Lumine looked at the Mora inside the piggy bank...

Hmm, estimating it, it wasn't even two thousand Mora. At most, it could buy two Fisherman's Toasts.

"Paimon, forget it. Let me treat this time."

"Really? Yay!"

Paimon was actually a bit reluctant too. Since Lumine had perked up, she felt a little stingy. After all, she'd saved that up bit by bit.

"Of course it's true. You keep your money saved up." After all, what's yours is mine, Lumine thought to herself.

"Yay! Then Paimon's going to eat a huge meal today."

"Oh, Lumine." Paimon suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Are you still going to look for your brother?"

"Of course I am. After all, he's my broth~er."

But now, Lumine wasn't so obsessed with finding her brother. More than that, she wanted to have a good "talk" with him about whether he'd forgotten his little sister.

And most importantly...

"Seventy-three, hehe... Looks like I'll need to make up for it later. Can't let my future darlings be shortchanged." Lumine thought to herself, though her face remained expressionless.

In the Honkai world, the three little ones had just received a mission to bring Wendy back from New Zealand. Just like the original story, Wendy had become the Herrscher of Wind, and the three little ones were about to chase after her, just like the original story. Everything seemed unchanged...

"You're so persistent. Fine, let me teach you a lesson."

Wendy looked disdainfully at Kiana and the others chasing her again.

"Hmph! That should be my line."

Kiana shot back without backing down.

"Miss Wendy, please trust us. You've just been corrupted by Honkai Energy and lost your true nature."

Mei tried to reason with her, hoping to help Wendy find herself.

Just as Kiana was about to lose her temper and go punch Wendy, Bronya stopped her.

"Wait, Kiana. Bronya wants to say a few words to Wendy."

Wendy saw Bronya and couldn't meet her eyes. She threatened Bronya aggressively, "Don't come near me! I don't want to, I don't want to talk to you. Bronya, don't come any closer."

Bronya wasn't afraid of Wendy like this. She tried to soften her tone.

"Wendy, you always remind Bronya... of a time back in the orphanage, when there was a little sister named Seele."

"Seele was a strong and gentle child, just like Wendy."

"Seele was once controlled by the Honkai too, but in the end, she overcame it."

"When Bronya underwent the modification, it was also extremely painful... even... up until now..."

As she said this, Bronya's tone carried a hint of dejection, but then she switched to a resolute voice.

"But... as long as there's even a glimmer of hope ahead, one should press forward firmly. Bronya can understand the pain in Wendy's heart."

"...So Bronya can also grasp the strength of Wendy, who has endured that pain."

"So please don't give up. No matter what, Bronya will always believe in you."

Wendy looked at Bronya before her, her heart wavering. "...I... I believe in Sister Bronya..."

"If Sister Bronya believes in me, then I'm willing to believe in myself, just this once."

"Great! Miss Wendy seems to have regained consciousness."

Mei said in surprise.

"Phew~ What a relief. Alright, don't dawdle—come back to the Hyperion with us now."

Kiana also relaxed and spoke to Wendy.

"We're all formidable Valkyries, you know. If the Honkai Impact ever takes control of you, we'll beat you right away~"

Bronya continued to comfort Wendy. "Wendy, don't worry. Come home with Bronya."

Wendy didn't refuse. Instead, she looked at Bronya's Project Bunny. "Oh, Sister Bronya, I want to ride on your robot one more time. Is that okay?"

Bronya didn't turn her down either. "No problem. Project Bunny, activate."

Just as everyone was getting along happily, a voice suddenly rang out in Bronya's mind.

"Bronya, my dear daughter. Now, retrieve the Fourth Herrscher."
