Sirin felt like she was about to explode from rage!

"Why does my parallel body have to be like this!" (>д<)

Watching Wendy and the others mock her, Sirin was on the verge of developing Barbatos Syndrome.

Ah~ this Grassworm's body is so dark and empty inside, how amusing! Hahaha~

Look, look, I'm so stupid in that video! Ahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!

Suddenly, staying here forever doesn't seem so bad~

Who cares about image or whatever? Let it rot! Feels great to slack off...

Hahahahaha...

Of course, who is Sirin? She was (once) the strongest Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void! She quickly shook off "Barbatos Syndrome."

Damn!!

If Sirin had a pack of salt in her hands right now, she'd definitely hurl it at the ground.

"Tch! My image!" (ノ`⊿′)ノ

(Though it feels a bit like split personality...)

Watching herself in the video, Sirin wished she could skewer her like a beehive with Void Lances.

"Forget it, forget it, no anger, no anger—Mom said anger gives you wrinkles. I'm the dignified and proud Herrscher of the Void! That thing in the video is just an idiot influenced by this Grassworm's body...☆"

Wait! If that idiot in the video got influenced, then if I take over this body, won't I also... ∑(??д??lll)

Thinking it over, the Kaslana Family members I've met so far are:

Seigfried: An idiot who uses the Divine Key Feather of the Sacred Flame to toast bread.

(Sirin's consciousness awakened as a child, though she doesn't know exactly how old she was. But since that happened, it's perfectly normal for her to have seen Seigfried toasting bread with the Sacred Flame!)

Theresa: An idiot who loves Bitter Gourd Juice and reading Homu comics, and acts like an adult.

(Though at her age, she doesn't need to pretend.)

Kiana: She was fine before meeting Raiden Mei, but after meeting Mei, she completely turned into a Grassworm!

Could it be... that the Kaslana Family genes all carry idiot genes? (-_-)ゞ

Hmm~ Thinking about it, could that version of me in the video really have been turned into an idiot by this body? No, no, I can't stay in this body. I need to find a chance to leave it.

Wait! These thoughts don't seem like my style! No way... am I already being influenced? Σ(?д?|||)??

No! I'm the dignified Herrscher of the Void! Becoming an idiot or something—no way! ??o·(????????????)?o·?

Thinking this, Sirin, who already wasn't keen on resurrecting by taking over Kiana's body, completely abandoned the idea. She even looked at the body with a hint of disdain.

But what Sirin didn't know was that she hadn't actually been influenced by Kiana. The her in the video was just showing her true nature. After all, in Puppet Academy, she used her own body, and she still ended up as a shut-in!

Her current change was simply because she had lost most of her malice and was starting to reveal her true self.

By now, Sirin had made up her mind: she had to get a body of her own!

Sirin felt that nothing could affect her anymore. Her heart was utterly calm. The her in the video getting bullied? Hah, that was just the influence of this body. The her in the video crying from bullying? Also because of this body.

Now, Sirin felt completely at peace. No matter what happened next, it couldn't break her composure.

Besides, what could be more embarrassing than the great Herrscher of the Void crying? (~ ̄︶ ̄?)

{I have to reclaim my lost dignity}

"Reshooting costs a lot of money, you know~" (????)

Ai Yi and Himeko looked troubled at A-Quan, who was lying on the ground, crying and throwing a tantrum.

"I don't care~ I don't care~ I don't care! Film it for me! Film it for me! Film it for me! Agh, hmm hmm..." (つД`)

A-Quan lay on the ground, wailing and flailing her limbs like a child whose parents refused to buy her a toy.

Narrator: So, how will our great Herrscher of the Void, Lady La Signora, perform in the upcoming episodes?

Stay tuned for the next program...

Before the narrator could finish, a blue parasol stabbed into the screen.

"Haah, haah, haah... eh↗" (panting)

A-Quan stared in shame at the punctured screen.

The world... maybe it's better off destroyed!

And inside Kiana's body, Sirin, predictably, broke down again.

Great. Something even more embarrassing had arrived.

"Ah!!!!☆" With a loud shout from Sirin, countless Void Lances flew toward the screen, turning it into a beehive in an instant. Then, she snatched the Feather of Dust from Fu Hua and erased the memories of everyone in the Honkai Impact world who had seen this video.

After that, she used her Herrscher of the Void authority to travel to the other two worlds and erased their memories of the video as well. In that moment, no one in the three worlds remembered the crying and tantrum-throwing A-Quan. All they remembered was the dignified Herrscher of the Void!

But unfortunately, all of the above was just Sirin's imagination.

[Elysia: Wow~ Little A-Quan looks so adorable like this!?] (?ω?)

[Elysia: Especially those little radish legs flailing around—so cute!] ╭?ヾ(??▽?)ノ

[Raven: She looks like a child. Is this really the Second Herrscher?] (¬_¬)

[Lilia: Even Rosaria wouldn't throw a tantrum on the ground like that.] (?_?)

[Rosaria: Exactly, exactly—wait, Lilia, what do you mean 'even Rosaria wouldn't do that'!] o(′^`)o

[Bronya (Honkai Impact): Rosaria and Lilia, are you two okay?] ▼△▼

[Rosaria: Ah! It's Bronya!] Σ(????)?

[Lilia: It really is Bronya!] Σ(????)?

[Rosaria: We're doing great! And now we're totally different from before! You'll be amazed when you see us, Bronya!] (﹡?o?﹡)

[Lilia: That's right. We get to eat little cakes all the time now, and recently Mama Cocolia bought us new clothes.] (?˙▽˙?)

[Bronya (Honkai Impact): Good to hear.]

[Wendy: Oh my, this A-Quan is so cute when she's crying and fussing, don't you think, @Sirin?] (〃 ̄ω ̄〃)

[Sirin: ...☆]

Sirin indicated she didn't want to talk...

[Wendy: Ooh, why isn't little Sirin saying anything? Don't tell me you're crying and fussing like in the video too? Come on, let me see if you've been crying.] ヾ(′?`.ヾ)

[Sirin: ...☆]

Sirin indicated that at this moment, her heart was as cold as the fish she'd been gutting for thirty years at the supermarket—nothing could stir her anymore...

[System: Congratulations to Sirin for obtaining...]
