Xing: Hmm, Isn't This a Bit Sudden?

"Damn, what kind of crap is this? It's awful!"

"Exactly! They're tone-deaf and still have the nerve to sing like that, they're shameless!"

As Xing stood on the spacious stage, holding the microphone that Ende had given her, her thoughts seemed to drift back to that time.

There were only Theresa, Rita, and Ende in the huge audience, but even so, his heart was pounding and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Ende just asked him what song he wanted to sing so she could find the accompaniment, but he refused because the song he wanted to sing wasn't recorded in this world.

What should I do? I'm so nervous, I can't sing, and even if I did, it would sound awful, right? I guess I should just give up...

"Keep going, believe in yourself," Rita encouraged from the audience.

"Relax, Little Xing, Miss Ende is a very good person and won't care about such trivial matters."

"If you feel nervous, imagine yourself practicing alone on stage. Focus all your attention on this moment, and the world will revolve around you." Ende poured himself a glass of red wine, gently swirled it, and savored it.

Do you want to focus all your attention?

Fortunately, he closed his eyes and silently recited the contents of the Taixu Sword Art. For him, whose sword heart had reached the state of "Dustless," this was an extremely simple matter.

Feather Crossing Dust, self-hypnosis—

Despite his social anxiety, Xing ultimately chose to numb his vision, allowing him to temporarily forget that there were people watching him.

Looking at the empty stands, Xing took a deep breath, the red mark on his chest glowed slightly, and his hair and eyes were tinged with red and blue.

P. S.: When I get emotional, I unconsciously turn into this form. Ah, this form doesn't add anything, it just makes me look a little better.

[Traversing the vast starry sky/Experiencing countless worlds/Witnessing the changing of time]

The pitch of her singing was unstable, with several off-key moments, showing that Xing really wasn't a very good singer.

Ende was not surprised by this, and simply took a sip and continued watching.

The ethereal melody echoed in the theater. Ende was puzzled. Where did this accompaniment come from when no music had been selected?

[A silent, still space / Everything is so cold / My heart feels like it's freezing]

Xing's emotions gradually calmed down. Her heterochromatic red and blue eyes looked into the distance, and she tidied her shoulder-length short hair with its distinct inner color with her right hand to ease her inner tension.

Suddenly, from a distant dimension, a moving melody drifted over.

The singing became stable and harmonious, and the singer seemed to remember something, a slight smile appearing on her lips.

It felt so welcoming, drawing me forward to discover a vibrant blue world unfolding before my eyes.

The boy's facial expression visibly relaxed, and he got into the zone, fully immersing himself in the performance.

Stigmata Space —

"Cang Xuan, are you sure you really want to do this? If Xing finds out, he will kill us!" Dan Zhu tried to dissuade us one last time.

Cang Xuan's eyes were filled with fervor. She grabbed her sister's shoulders and asked in a trembling voice, "Then tell me, if we miss such a good opportunity, when will we get another one?!"

"But... it's not enough for just the two of us." Dan Zhu lowered her head in frustration.

"I support that," Jilin, who had been watching the drama unfold, poked his head out from the side.

Dan Zhu was still having second thoughts. "But there's only one like that..."

"I agree as well." Yae Sakura ran over from the adjacent Stigmata Space with Hiyokomaru.

"But even so, there's still one short... Eh?! Dan Zhu wanted to struggle a bit more, but then Kallen (personality fragment) came over from the Stigmata Space next door, carrying Luna."

"She and I will do our best to help you, so go for it!"

Dan Zhu covered her face, remained silent for a moment, then raised her head, flicked her long sleeves, and resolutely shouted, "The costume design is entirely in my hands. You all follow my instructions, understand?!"

"Understood! ×N"

At the St. Freya Academy, Black Seele suddenly trembled. "What's going on? Someone's trying to steal our Stigmata power? Who... Oh, I see. Hmm, Brother Xing, I wish you all the best in your idol career~"

Upon receiving the message from Dan Zhu via the Stigmata, Black Seele couldn't help but smile and decisively surrendered her power.

I only glanced at you casually, and I can never forget you.

As she placed one hand on her chest, recalling the amazement she felt when she first saw the animated short film "Angel Reconstruction" and her first encounter with this world, she suddenly felt her eyes well up with tears.

He was unaware that the spirits behind him were about to cause trouble.

You are so special / so unique / so dazzling.

Four Stigmata radiated dazzling light on his right hand, left hand, back, and chest. Even Black and White Seele, who were far away, contributed some of her power. At this moment, the boy's body was undergoing some kind of change.

PS: White Seele was fooled by Black Seele.

If you're willing to use my voice to sing out those uniquely your own words, then...

The ends of the short white hair extend to the waist, with the inner side blending red and blue, creating a more harmonious look.

May this beautiful moment last forever / My world is entirely composed by you.

Fortunately, they closed their eyes and sang loudly. They also seized the opportunity to forcibly control the power of the Stigmata and activate their transformation.

The four Stigmata flickered a few times before disappearing from Xing's body, secretly accumulating power.

Her long white hair cascaded down to her waist, and four hairpins inlaid with different colored crystals appeared, tying her into a four-ponytail hairstyle.

A bright red and blue dress wrapped around the girl's promising body, its style resembling a combination of God's Blessing Anthem and Sea of Butterflies from the other side.

Unfortunately, the girl doesn't seem to have developed yet and can't hold it up...

The short, brightly colored skirt barely covered her upper thighs, but it seemed she was wearing black safety shorts underneath.

(Slap! You damn assassin, who gave you permission to steal my narration spot? Get out of here and cool off!)

A pair of semi-transparent over-the-knee socks, one red and one blue, adorned the girl's slender legs. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground inexplicably matched the rhythm of the accompanying music.

"Hey, what if Xing feels uncoordinated while walking? We'll be exposed prematurely!" Dan Zhu suddenly realized something.

"Calm down, he's used to this feeling, it's nothing." Cang Xuan remained remarkably calm.

Theresa, sitting in the audience, froze, her small hand losing control and crushing the seat.

Rita, unusually, didn't take out her camera to snap photos, but instead witnessed the moment with her own eyes and felt it with her heart.

Miss Ende watched with great interest as Xing transformed. This child is quick to grasp things; not bad, she has potential!

[The time we've spent together has forged our intertwined destinies]

Two burning feathers landed on her hands, swirling with light and transforming into black sleeves.

[Tune frequency tuning/Perfect harmony transcends everything]

Twin flowers of black and white bloomed on her shoulders, transforming into a shawl that fell down.

I've lost count of how many late nights you've spent alone at your desk.

Four-colored light converged on the girl's head, forming a four-leaf clover-shaped headdress, which was placed on the left side.

[Sleepless all night / Just to make myself shine even brighter]

Two small, cute white fox ears popped out from the girl's head. Hmm, they seem a bit too short. They look more like cat ears than fox ears. Oh well, they should be fox ears.

At the same time, a Jotaro white fox tail peeked out from under the girl's skirt, hiding inside, but it was obvious that it couldn't be hidden.

The girl paused briefly, gathering all her emotions into her singing, and began to sing again:

Too much confusion furrows your brow / Too much helplessness blurs your tearful eyes.

Two thin ribbons, as thin as cicada wings, hung down from her waist, like a pair of wings, carrying her to fly to a higher sky.

Can you, unwilling to accept defeat, extinguish the sorrow in your heart?

The petal-like hem of the skirt peeked out from both sides of the short skirt, covering the girl's slender legs and adding a touch of hazy visual beauty.

But what's the difference between a semi-transparent skirt and it not existing?

As if to cover her up a bit more, a long piece of fabric fell from the center of her short skirt, but unfortunately it was at the back, covering her tail.

The countless Stars will illuminate your vision / And I will always be by your side.

Even if dark clouds cover the sky, I will burn everything to be with them—

Never to part

Find your way home!

Tears streamed down my face.

Thank you for bringing me into this world; thank you for letting me meet you all.

Sing your wish out loud with all your might

Suddenly, starlight twinkled, illuminating the whole world / I could see the joy on your face.

Xing sang with abandon, her body moving unconsciously to the melody. She drifted on the stage like a dandelion, sowing seeds of happiness.

It was you who made me realize that there are so many Valkyrie in another world protecting the good in an imperfect world, and made me discover for the first time that I could be so obsessed with some fictional characters.

No, you exist, you are real.

I am the best proof.

If you still wish to let my voice express everything in our hearts...

I will use all my memories of you to create a world that belongs to us.

This is my story, and it's also their story. At first, I liked them; later, I liked their stories; and still later, I liked their world.

But now, I like them better.

The accompaniment echoed throughout the theater. The girl paused her singing, but her dance continued. There was no pattern or method; she danced wherever her mind led her, yet it was a delight to watch.

It's probably because the dancer is a very pretty girl. If a grown man were dancing this, I would have yelled at him on the spot.

(I'm talking to you, stop polluting our eyes!)

Ende tapped the armrest of the seat lightly with his fingers, perfectly matching the rhythm of the girl's movements.

Theresa was a little troubled. Her son, no, her daughter seemed to have done something just as silly as she had, actually transforming in front of others. However, this transformation seemed to be the first time she had ever seen one. Should she knock Miss Ende unconscious and erase her memory later?

Rita had already imagined it in her mind (a million words omitted, no complete version, please don't rush me).

[Traversing the vast starry sky/Experiencing countless worlds/Witnessing the changing of time]

In the final verse, the lyrics are the same as at the beginning, but the singer is different now.

[A silent, still space / Everything is so cold / My heart feels like it's freezing]

The girl's singing voice cannot be described as beautiful, but it is no longer out of tune. Coupled with her ethereal and vivid voice and cute and charming appearance, she will surely be very popular.

Suddenly, from a distant dimension, a moving melody drifted over.

The voice gradually lowered, and the girl's dance steps slowed down, preparing for the curtain to fall.

[So familiar/It draws me forward/To meet you]

When the song ended, the girl put down the microphone, bowed to the audience, and thanked the people she had imagined.

"Clap clap clap clap clap..." Theresa and Rita clapped wildly, giving the performance the best possible evaluation.

"Yes, the future is promising." Ende nodded slightly, affirming.

High emotional intelligence: A promising future

Low emotional intelligence: sang poorly.

"Phew, it feels like a year has passed even though only a few minutes have gone by." Xing wiped away her sweat and tears, exhaling a breath of stale air. "I don't know why, but I feel so tired... Strange, why do I feel so light-headed?"

She looked at her small hands, which were covered by black sleeves, completely puzzled. "Strange, there's nothing different about them... Huh?"

As she touched the four ponytails swaying in the wind behind her head, her mind suddenly went blank.

"Am I... transforming again?"

Damn it, don't you know where you're going? Is this a place where you can just transform like that? Transforming is one thing, but the important thing is—

Fortunately, she covered her miniskirt, her face flushed with embarrassment. Hey, how come she'd never seen this transformation before?!

Since it was a transformation created by the spirits behind you gathering all the power of your Stigmata, how could you possibly have seen it before?

"Ahhh! I can't help it, I'm sorry!" Rita, her eyes sparkling with hearts, lunged at her. Just as she was about to dodge, her small foot, clad in high heels, suddenly twisted. It was this momentary hesitation that allowed Rita to pull her tightly into her arms.

"Hoo, hoo, become an idol, my master, everyone will fall at your feet..." The frenzied Rita was a little out of her mind, burying her head in Sachi's neck and desperately inhaling. Ah, this scent mixed with cherry blossoms and bitter melon was truly irresistible...

Huh?

The maid's expression changed drastically. She picked up the dazed Xing and was about to take her to the bathroom for a good bath when Theresa rushed forward, snatched her daughter away, and started fighting with Rita.

"Stay away from my son, cough, my daughter, you pervert!"

"I'm sorry, Lady Theresa, but this is the one thing I will not compromise with you on!"

Schicksal Fourth Generation God-Slaying Armor—

Blood Knight: Moonbeam

'Argent Knight: Argent Knight: Artemis'

Transmission complete

Ende's lips twitched as he watched the two S-Rank Valkyrie locked in fierce combat, then he picked up the trembling girl and silently left.

"What's going on? Where is my power?" Just now, Xing had intended to use her immense strength to push Rita away immediately, but she suddenly discovered that her once-proud brute force had vanished. Summoning chains and using spells yielded no results, and even quantization failed—it was as if all her Stigmata abilities had ceased to function.

Along with the power of the Fusion Warrior.

An unprecedented fear spread through her heart.

—The dividing line that the Eden rich woman rented at a high price, but it's still Love Gate—

At the very bottom of the deep sea, a slight tremor occurred, as if some unknown creature was about to awaken.

Author's Note—

Let's offer a salute to the birth of idol Yuki!

Rejoice! She is the strongest idol, possessing the power of four Valkyrie, poised to unify the Honkai World. Her name is—

We haven't decided on a name yet...

In short, thank you to those spirits who helped us avoid being tricked~

Um, do you guys find it acceptable that Xing's character is gender-swapped?

The song Xing sings in this chapter is "Star Wish," an original song by You Hui, a virtual singer whom Youhui greatly admires. If you're interested, you can check her out on Bilibili. If you like Stardust, please follow her and Five-Dimensional Medium!
