Elysia Has Her Eyes on Me, the Savior, After Joining miHoYo

"Nahida... her mature demeanor and appearance are completely mismatched."

Even Bronya, who was quite precocious in mind, couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

The others also praised:

"It's not just her looks, even her sense of wisdom is just like A-Tzu's."

"They're practically mother and daughter."

"More like sisters!"

At 10:30 PM, the studio crew was strolling down the street, filled with laughter.

A-Tzu walked at the back, holding Nahida's hand, and whispered:

"Nahida, do you know what you looked like when you were in Ye Ming's arms just now?"

"I know."

Nahida nodded, her petite face as red as a ripe apple.

"My mind went blank at the time, and when I came to my senses, my body had already reacted."

"When I hug you, you just feel embarrassed and always want to break free, but what about when Ye Ming hugs you?"

A-Tzu poked Nahida's cheek, saying with a hint of jealousy:

"You looked like you were enjoying it."

"I know it's strange, neither physiologically nor sociologically, but..."

Nahida sighed and said:

"I can't explain it, maybe my sister's wisdom can help me understand."

"I don't understand everything either, but I can understand you. When I see Ye Ming, I also feel a strange attraction to him."

Just listening to their conversation, A-Tzu and Nahida really sounded like sisters with little age difference.

But the sight of them holding hands did indeed resemble a mother and daughter.

"Hey! You two hurry up! It's this shop!"

The group arrived at a barbecue restaurant that was open all night. Before even looking at the menu, they ordered all the alcoholic beverages in the shop.

"Cheers!"

Himeko drained the beer in her glass, then quickly opened a bottle of red wine and poured it into a wine glass.

"Himeko, you're drinking too fast."

"It's okay, it's okay, the red wine goes into a different stomach."

"Won't mixing drinks make you drunk faster?"

"Huh?"

Himeko tilted her head and asked curiously:

"Aren't we supposed to drink until we drop tonight?"

"That's true."

After a few rounds of drinks, when the joyful atmosphere had settled down, Ye Ming clapped his hands and said:

"Everyone, starting tomorrow, I hope you can all join this game as players."

Nahida immediately understood and helped Ye Ming add:

"Only by becoming players ourselves can we understand the players' needs and make the game better."

"Hehe, if you see me showing off my skills when playing the main storyline, don't be stingy, praise me as much as you can... oof!"

Before Kiana could finish speaking, Himeko poured a glass of red wine into her mouth.

"Cough cough! Aunt Himeko, what are you doing!"

"Haven't you been a little too confident these past few days?"

Himeko poked Kiana's forehead with a drunken air, and lectured:

"Don't get carried away just because you're the protagonist."

"What's with that! You're lecturing me even when you're drunk..."

Kiana looked unconvinced, but one thing was true, Himeko's eyes were wandering and her skin was flushed, she was indeed a little drunk.

"Ha? I'm not drunk, this is nothing!"

The others glanced at Himeko's table. While they were talking, two bottles of red wine had already been emptied, she was practically drinking it like water.

"Speaking of which, why does Himeko like to get drunk so much?" Keqing asked curiously.

"Because when you're drunk, you don't feel the pain anymore~~"

--Clang!

Just as Himeko finished speaking, Ye Ming shot up from his seat, knocking over his beer bottle.

He grabbed Himeko's shoulders, his agitation startling everyone.

"Where does it hurt?! How long have you had symptoms?!"

10. Kiana and Himeko are Arguing

"Uh... probably heartache."

"Sharp pain or dull ache? Or a tearing sensation?"

"N-no... it's just... I've been single for too long, so my heart aches."

Himeko guiltily averted her gaze, not wanting to be so blunt, but she hadn't expected Ye Ming to press so earnestly.

"Oh, that's all it is."

Ye Ming sighed in relief, slowly sitting back down.

"Ye Ming, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing, just a little PTSD."

Ye Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead, then forced a smile.

"But, if you keep drinking like that, you'll cause real physical pain."

"It won't be that bad~! I'm still young, a few drunken nights won't hurt."

"You don't believe me? Then come outside with me."

"Huh? What are you going to do?"

Himeko was dragged out of the shop by Ye Ming, looking completely bewildered.

It was after 11 PM, and the street was deserted. The night wind made Himeko shiver.

"Just cooperate."

Ye Ming took off Himeko's shoes, then lifted her black-stockinged legs.

"Wait! Ye Ming! You're being too bold!"

Himeko tried to push Ye Ming away, muttering in embarrassment, "While I do want to find a boyfriend, and you are to my liking, getting physical would be too soon!"

"One! Two! Three!"

Ye Ming completely ignored Himeko's reaction and pressed hard on the liver reflex zone of her foot.

"Aaaaaahhhhh!!"

The piercing scream startled everyone drinking inside.

They didn't know what was happening outside, only that when Himeko returned, she kept muttering about taking a break from alcohol.

After that, the girls in the studio started playing Honkai Impact 3rd, developing characters and playing through the main storyline.

Although it was a little embarrassing to see themselves in the game, everyone enjoyed the fun it brought.

The only odd thing was that Kiana wasn't talking to Himeko much, as if they were having a fight.

"It's been like this since the celebration party that night."

Mei said worriedly, "Kiana's being difficult. Himeko's doing it for her own good."

"She became the protagonist, got a chance to prove herself, but then got lectured. It's normal for Kiana to be unhappy."

The insightful Makoto sighed softly, holding a cup of hot tea.

"Neither of them is wrong. It just depends on whether there's a chance for them to reconcile."

Ye Ming wasn't too worried about it. Anyway, there were plenty of opportunities for reconciliation, as far as Makoto was concerned.

"Kiana, come here for a moment."

"What is it?"

"The scene where you can show off your skills that I promised you. I need you to participate in the performance."

"Okay!"

To prove herself to Himeko... and partly out of spite, Kiana threw herself into it with all her might.

Whether it was the upcoming voice acting or motion capture, she worked so hard that Ye Ming was stunned.

The most important mindset of the Herrscher of the Void, that "It's all your fault!" feeling, was perfectly displayed by Kiana at this moment.

"Phew~! That felt great!"

After finishing work, Kiana wiped her sweat and asked, "Ye Ming, I'm a little confused. Why do my lines sound like a villain?"

Ye Ming didn't give Kiana the complete script, only her own lines.

Considering Kiana's eagerness to play the hero, Ye Ming worried that she would be too concerned with her character's identity and fail to convey the feeling of wanting to destroy everything.

"Don't worry about all that. I'm just asking, is your part really impressive? Unbeatably strong? Does it shock everyone?"

"That's true enough..."

"That's great, then. Just wait to be the most dazzling star of the show."

Actually, concerns about the quality of the performance were secondary. Ye Ming mainly wanted to give Kiana a surprise.

"Himeko, Ye Ming is looking for you. He says it's important."

"Got it, I'll be right there."

That afternoon, Himeko, on her way to report to Ye Ming, happened to run into Kiana.

"I heard from Ye Ming that your performance this time was very effective."

Himeko crossed her arms and smiled with satisfaction:

"You're finally showing some skill. But don't get complacent. There's still a lot you need to learn."

"..."

Hearing Himeko's praise, a fleeting hint of joy flashed across Kiana's face, but then she became awkward again.

She frowned and walked past Himeko without saying a word.

"Kiana, what's been up with you these past few days?"

"Blegh~!"
