Joining MiHoYo, the Savior Me Is Targeted by Elysia

Perhaps... Ye Ming really was her destined other half.

[So what exactly did Ye Ming say?]

[Didn't say it, probably foreshadowing]

"Ye Ming, do you remember... how long it was after that first meeting?"

In the cold night wind, Himeko, leaning drunkenly on Ye Ming's back, asked.

"A little over two months, I think."

Ye Ming held Himeko's black silk-clad thighs, carrying her slowly forward, guided by the moonlight.

"It's three months and two days, actually."

"You... you're not really drunk, are you?"

"Hehe~~ The time we've spent together, even if I turned to ash, I'd still remember it!"

Himeko hugged Ye Ming's neck as if seeking praise, her pair of soft, giant slimes pressing against Ye Ming's back, almost causing him to stumble.

"Still, it feels so unbelievable."

Himeko said softly in Ye Ming's ear:

"Even though it's only been three months, I feel like I've spent a very, very long time with you."

"Maybe you're counting the time we met in your dreams too."

[Using that line to pick up girls? He's good at it]

[Friendly reminder: Remember this line]

The video transitioned quickly, the camera cut, and the two were back in the dorm.

Ye Ming placed Himeko on the bed and was about to leave when Himeko grabbed him and pulled him close.

"What's wrong?"

"Just for today, can you let me be a little selfish?"

Himeko's face flushed a sweet red, her eyes full of charm as she looked at Ye Ming.

"Can't do that~~ If we set a precedent today, you'll want to be selfish every time you get drunk."

"That won't happen."

Himeko held Ye Ming's hand tightly, as if if she let go now, she would never be able to hold it again.

"Just tonight, just this once... please."

"..."

Ye Ming seemed to sense something too. He sat back on the bed and pressed his forehead against Himeko's.

"I'll let you be selfish, but not just this once. In the future... you'll have many chances to be selfish."

[Himeko is saying goodbye, and Ye Ming doesn't even realize it! Just saying pretty words]

[Second time watching, whether they're just pretty words, you'll know when you watch further]

Their fingers intertwined, the two lay down on the bed together, feeling each other's warmth, feeling each other's delicate breaths...

With only each other's figures in their eyes, they slowly fell asleep.

In the early hours of the morning, the night was still and quiet, and the moonlight outside the window shone into the room, illuminating Himeko.

"This is the first time I've seen you sleeping."

It turned out she hadn't been asleep the whole time, and had been looking at Ye Ming with adoring eyes since earlier.

"I thought I wouldn't have the chance to taste love again~~"

Himeko gently poked Ye Ming's pretty face, fully embodying the phrase "loving something so much you can't bear to let it go."

"Thank you, even though it's been brief, at least it gives me a lover to say goodbye to when I leave."

As she spoke, Himeko brushed aside her side hair, slightly opened her sweet little mouth, and kept getting closer to Ye Ming's cheek.

But just before she kissed him, she stopped, trembling as she pursed her cherry lips tightly.

"I chose Kiana, I probably... don't have the right to, do I."

Realizing this, Himeko reluctantly got out of bed and retrieved the "Kiana Retrieval Operation" briefing from the computer in the living room.

After that, she quietly left the dorm and never came back.

[Don't do it! Please kiss him!]

[Where's my force-them-together squad?!]

[The original work knifed me, and now I'm getting knifed by a fanfic?!]

The uncommunicated love resonated with the audience. The comments had previously been judging whether Ye Ming was worthy of Himeko, but now they just wanted the two to have a happy ending.

Everyone was clearly traumatized by The Last Lesson.

"..."

A wisp of night breeze brushed Ye Ming's hair. He opened his eyes shortly after Himeko left.

"She's usually so enthusiastic, but she chickens out at the crucial moment."

Knowing everything, he straightened his rumpled clothes, opened the window, and stood on the sill.

"This hardly counts as being willful, Himeko."

With those words, Ye Ming leaped forward, jumping from the sixth-floor dormitory.

But he didn't fall; instead, he hovered in the air.

No, not hovered. If the screen were zoomed in, you'd see...

He was standing on something.

"It's time to go, BT."

Hearing Ye Ming's soft call in the wind, the massive energy core instantly lit up, as if a giant had opened its eyes.

The next moment, the optical camouflage was deactivated, and a mech adorned with inscriptions appeared before all the viewers.

22. The One Who Cries For Me

[Holy crap! So he had this up his sleeve!]
[Why does this mech look different from Anti-Entropy's?]
[It doesn't have a technological feel; instead, it has a magical vibe.]
[A magic mech? Sounds badass!]

Although the comments couldn't transmit sound, the viewers' exclamations could be felt.

[Where are the guys who said Ye Ming didn't understand Himeko?]
[Don't ask; the haters don't fight losing battles.]

"BT, do you remember the three protocols I drafted when I was modifying your core?"

The mech called "BT" placed Ye Ming inside its body while saying in a synthesized voice:

"I remember. Protocol one: Always be on the same side as you."

"Protocol two: The mission must be completed."

"Protocol three has not yet been drafted."

At this moment, Ye Ming had entered the cockpit, and BT's autonomous mode changed to Ye Ming's control mode.

"BT, now record Murata Himeko's data and signal from my brain."

"Recording complete. Murata Himeko, registered."

After preparing, Ye Ming said in an unwavering tone:

"Protocol three: Bring her home."

Swords and spears clashed, light and shadow overlapped, the spear burst with lightning, and haze entwined with destruction.

The sword of fire stirred up a storm, turning everything to ashes, but it still couldn't resist the darkness of the void.

Even without an introduction, the viewers could tell that the scene in the camera was Himeko's battle with the Herrscher of the Void.

[Are you kidding me? They replayed The Last Lesson!]
[Just got stabbed once, and before I can catch my breath, I'm getting stabbed a second time?]
[We need a word more aggressive than "animal".]

Comments like these quickly dominated the entire screen, and many viewers broke down because of the scenes from The Last Lesson.

But even so, the number of simultaneous viewers didn't decrease but increased. No one wanted to turn off the video.

Because everyone knew that although the scene before them was full of painful memories, Ye Ming, piloting BT, had not yet appeared.

Everything... still had a chance to be reversed.

"Ah~~ It's you~~ Murata Himeko~~"

Accompanied by the Queen's arrogant voice, Himeko was thrown out by a powerful spatial force, crashing into a huge crystal block.

"If I hadn't looked through her memories, I almost forgot about you, lucky ant."

"I don't remember having any association with you."

Himeko struggled to stand up, the blood flowing from her wounds showing no signs of stopping.

"Hahahaha! It doesn't matter if you don't remember, but you should have heard of the name, Ragna, right?"

"!!"

Seeing the shock on Himeko's face, the audience immediately began to discuss:

[There's new plot?]

[Is this from the original, or is it fan-made?]

"Destiny's Valkyrie instructor, leader of the assault team, and also... your teacher."

"How did you know that!"

"That's a great question~~"

The Herrscher of the Void reached out, and Himeko's body was immediately dragged in front of it by a powerful force.

"Because when I killed Ragna, that guy kept muttering your name."

"At the time, I was very curious. Who was the person she couldn't let go of, even as the light faded from her eyes?"

"After learning your name from that one's memories, everything fell into place."

The Herrscher of the Void's mockery was playful yet cruel, and the enraged Himeko broke free from the spatial restraints.

But just as she brandished her greatsword to retaliate, countless sharp spears of light surrounded her.

Himeko could only retreat, blocking continuously, and finally, under the barrage of attacks and the pain, she staggered and knelt down.

"How pathetic, human."

"You've lost your place to belong, lost your teacher and comrades, and now, you're even about to lose the student you cherish."

"Looking at it that way, don't you have nothing left?"

[Stop roasting her, please]

[Himeko is too pitiful]

[So Himeko has this kind of background]

[She's already miserable enough, why do you have to stab her like this]
