Honkai Impact 3rd's First Idol, Makes Her Debut!

(Please excuse the slightly disjointed transitions in the recent chapters.)

Additional setting 1: When the idol is in a good or bad mood, her ears and tail will unconsciously show.

Additional setting 2: If you dare to completely piss off your idol, be prepared to face a true "Kamen Rider".

At the St. Freya Academy, the Seele had just finished bathing and were about to go to bed suddenly felt a sharp pain in their bodies, and bright red liquid flowed from their noses.

White Seele stared blankly at the blood on her hand for a moment, then realized. "Could it be that something happened to Sister Xing? Can the other me switch places with Sister Xing?"

White Seele looked to Black Seele for help, only to find that Hei Xier had closed her eyes, as if she were communicating with someone. After a moment, she opened them and breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, that guy just had a routine accident and is out of danger."

"That's good." White Seele patted her chest, not at all surprised by the answer.

—I will always love Seele! Black or white!—

"Shopkeeper, are you there?" Kane called out helplessly into the shop, but all he got in return was silence.

What happened? Where did she go?

If the shop manager isn't here, then he'll have to treat Luming's injuries, but that would definitely mean... men and women shouldn't touch each other!

If Kane were the protagonist of this book, then the next part would definitely be a bonus phase. Unfortunately, the one on his back is the real protagonist.

A green-haired girl with a cabbage-shaped hairstyle pushed open the basement door and ran towards him, crying, "Waaah, boss, you're so pitiful! Ai-chan is coming to save you!"

"Who are you?!" Kane stared blankly at the giant cabbage in front of him, and for some reason felt that she looked a lot like the chibi-style doll in the basement.

"Are you Kiana? We've met before!" Ai-chan angrily punched him, picked up the badly injured girl from his back, and rushed to the basement, closing the door behind her. "Little Te, the boss's back! Get ready for treatment, and you too, the beautiful girl is receiving treatment, wait outside!"

Kane, who was turned away at the door. "I'm injured too, you know..."

After bringing Xing back, he felt a dull ache all over his body, but compared to his companion's injuries, he had only suffered minor cuts and bruises.

The boy sighed, turned on the indoor light, took out a bowl of instant noodles from the refrigerator, cooked it, and ate it alone. At this moment, he had a thousand questions in his mind that he wanted to ask the girl named Chen Xilumeng to answer, but for now he could only wait for her to wake up.

He suddenly realized that he knew very little about Luming.

In the basement—

When Sachi left St. Freya Academy, she took quite a few things from Lobster Doctor. Apart from some useless and broken inventions, there were still quite a few good things, such as the medical equipment that she placed in temporary base number one.

"Little Te! Little Te! Is Boss Little Xing alright? I don't want to see Principal Theresa Academy suffer the pain of losing her own child!" Ai-chan leaned down and anxiously asked the red-haired doll that was clicking on the control panel.

Little Te did not respond to her fellow AI. She couldn't understand why the AI's level was far superior to hers, yet its logic was so... idiotic.

Aren't you a more advanced AI than me? If there's anything wrong with Little Te, why don't you just look up the data yourself?

Your computing power is clearly much stronger than mine, but the first AI connection object of the Build System is still me. Why?

Also, why were you shorter than me at the beginning, but turned into this after being charged?

Little Te couldn't understand Ai-chan's behavior. The other party was an artificial intelligence that was much more advanced than herself, but the things she did were so illogical in her eyes, which she found hard to comprehend.

"Little Xing's body couldn't withstand the impact of the new energy bottle, so she has temporarily fallen into a coma. Based on the extent of her physical damage, her self-recovery speed, and the device's healing function, she should be able to return to normal after another 10 hours of deep sleep."

Ai-chan blinked her two little red eyes and chuckled, "Okay, I got it. Please take care of the boss, okay? I'm going to recharge my batteries now."

Boom!

A heavy fist slammed into the ground in front of her. Looking at the cracks in the floor, Ai-chan shakily sat down to the side, away from the socket. "I... I won't steal it, why are you so angry?"

"Ai - Hyperion, I'm not angry. Dr. Tesla didn't include an emotion module in my programming. Considering your performance, the doctor's decision was wise." A mechanical voice devoid of any emotion came from the doll's mouth.

"Hey, aren't you bored?" Ai-chan looked at her sympathetically. "How about I, the super AI, help you optimize the program?"

"No need. The Doctor has added a continuous learning and evolution function to me, ensuring that Little Xing can continue to upgrade her Build even after leaving her. The enemies Little Xing is facing are getting stronger and stronger, so I must speed up the development of the Build upgrade component. It's necessary to synchronize the data with the Doctor." After setting up the functions of the treatment device, Little Te glanced at the girl in the treatment pod.

I hope you recover soon, Little Xing.

Huh, what was I thinking just now? The red-haired Armed Doll shook her head. Why did she always encounter these incomprehensible situations?

The Armed Doll named Tesla Zero fell into deep thought, its brain's computing center working rapidly, but it still couldn't find an answer.

"It's time to recharge." Little Te walked to the socket, sat down, took out the charging cable from her pocket, plugged it into the charging port on the back of her neck, and then plugged the plug into the socket. Whether it's Honkai Energy or pure electrical energy, it can provide her with the power to keep operating, but if she were to come into contact with too much Honkai Energy at once, she would suffer great damage.

"I can't understand why Little Xing made me custom-made clothes. Neither the impact resistance nor the flexibility of the clothing can compare to the official uniform that the doctor made for me." Her little head was full of big questions, but the cold, impersonal machine couldn't understand them.

Little Te closed his eyes and went into standby mode.

Seeing that Ai-chan was on standby, Little Te quietly stood up, looked at the girl lying in the treatment pod, and smiled.

When leaving St. Freya Academy, considering that one Armed Doll might not be enough, Cang Little Xuan gave it to Fu Hua again. Although Fu Hua still had her original bracelet, the little ancestor refused to work for her no matter what.

So, Xing turned her attention to an Artificial Stupidity that she had overlooked... oops, I mean, artificial intelligence.

"Mommy~ Can I have a little Ai-chan?"

It's hard to imagine what kind of feelings that fox-eared loli was having when she was trying to charm Theresa.

However, the effect was remarkable. Theresa had a nosebleed and almost ripped Ai-chan's body off the Hyperion to give to her daughter. However, Sachi said that she only wanted a clone of Ai-chan and didn't need the original.

So, Theresa told Ai-chan about it. After listening, Ai-chan used her clever little brain, and here's her thought process—

Happiness = The daughter of Principal Theresa Academy = Her future boss.

If your future boss wants your clone, it's an implication that she's interested in you and asking if you're willing to help her.

The actual meaning is that she wants her own original body, but she's too embarrassed to tell her mother directly because Ai-chan is now Theresa's employee.

Working for your future boss is like building a good impression on her beforehand.

Therefore, handing over one's true self is the best way to prove one's loyalty to one's future boss.

(Wow... that's quite an imagination.)

So, Ai-chan set her own body to the most energy-efficient chibi mode, leaving her clone on the Hyperion battleship. And so, there was no Theresa was also unaware of the situation, who handed her over to Sachi.

"Phew, it feels so reassuring to have plenty of energy. I don't know why, but I always feel like I was beaten up by some jerk before because I was out of energy." Ai-chan muttered to herself. She's cuter like this. Little Xing Boss Koyuki saw her like this, he would definitely cherish her even more!

(To be honest, I seriously suspect that the first thing she'll do when she sees you is beat you up and ask if you have any crystals, and there's a very high chance she'll just turn you into stir-fried cabbage.)

However, Ai-chan always felt that she should have a more mature and beautiful form, but she didn't know why she couldn't turn it on. Could it be that the battery wasn't fully charged?

P. S.: In the manga, Ai-chan looked like the older Ai before Theresa found her, knocked her unconscious, and brought her back. It's possible Theresa was a bit too rough, turning her from a mountaintop into a flat chest; I seriously suspect there might have been some personal grudge involved. Also, after the reboot, Ai-chan lost most of her memories and was raised to her current state by Theresa.

St. Freya's Abandoned Home is confirmed (lol).

"Hehe, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Boss Little Xing, let Ai-chan take you there—"

The green-haired girl placed her hand on the glass of the treatment pod, easily hacked into its program, and activated a certain function.

"This is the best amusement park! Let's see just how amazing Ai-chan is! This way I won't have to worry about being unemployed in the future! I'll be the number one idol of the Hyperion!" Ai-chan said excitedly.

A mask extended from inside the treatment chamber, completely covering the girl's face.

Consciousness connection, begin—

——Yugi loading——

In the endless darkness, the boy's body sank deeper and deeper until it touched the deepest point.

"Wake up..."

Who is it?

"Wake up..."

Who is calling me?

"Wake up, boss! Ai-chan is going to be eaten by a monster!" Ai-chan straddled Sachi, vigorously rubbing his delicate face.

"That blind fool tried to touch my cabbage?!" Xing suddenly opened her eyes, and a very appetizing-looking cabbage came into view.

"Great, boss, you finally... Ouch, ouch, ouch! Boss, why did you bite me?" Ai-chan hadn't recovered from her joy when the boy suddenly pulled her into his arms and bit her cheek.

"Hmm, it's quite bouncy." Sachi didn't use much force, and after hearing Ai-chan's cry of pain, she released her mouth, leaving a row of shallow teeth marks on her cheek. "Looks like I'm not dreaming."

"Roar!" A giant tiger-shaped Honkai Beast suddenly appeared in front of the two. Ai-chan -chan looked up and saw this scene, and was immediately terrified. "Waaaaah! I'm going to be eaten!"

"Roar! (I don't like cabbage!)" The tiger-shaped Honkai Beast slammed down with its claw, the massive claw engulfing the two figures.

The Tiger Beast raised its paw, moved its massive body, and slowly moved away.

"Hey, did you say you were allowed to leave? You scared my cabbage like this, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable not to leave it with your tiger skin, tiger paws, tiger penis, or something?"

The pink-haired, fox-eared boy who had appeared on its head at some point glanced at the trembling cabbage spirit in its arms, a faint electric current flashing in his purple eyes.

Purple Adult Form - Yae Xing

"Although I don't know how it recovered, but!" Ai-chan threw Ai-chan forcefully into the air, and the spirit sword, Cherry Blossom Blizzard, appeared in her hand, with lightning forming Thunder Prison Maru behind her. "Right now, all I want to do is beat this guy to death!"

"Roar, Thunder Prison Maru!"

A massive curse mark appeared beneath the Tiger Beast's feet. Yuki transformed into a streak of purple light, slashing repeatedly at the beast before leaping up to catch Ai-chan as she fell, landing perfectly.

Tiger Beast: "..."

When the lightning dissipated, the unharmed Tiger Beast stood there dumbfounded, raising its paw and staring blankly at the scene.

Lucky: "⊙▽⊙"

Ai-chan: "(⊙ˍ⊙)"

"What's going on?" Xing looked at the Yae Sakura Stigmata on her left hand in confusion. Hey, am I too weak or is it too strong?

"Boss, even if you're incredibly strong, it's useless here." Ai-chan weakly pulled out a yellow box. "Before it reacts, quickly put this on!"

"?" Xing opened the box with a puzzled look. A black device came into view. There was a white ring in the center, which was separated by a diagonal line. There was a round hole in the middle where something could be inserted. There were grooves on both sides, which looked like something could be inserted.

Besides that, there was a small white cylinder with a red fox pattern printed on it... Hmm, for some reason, I suddenly felt like I was in the wrong movie set again.

Seeing that Yuki was slightly stunned, Ai-chan anxiously took the black device out of it and slapped it on his waist.

'Desire Driver!'

The device has belts extending from both sides to secure it to Xing's body.

Next, Ai-chan took out his ID Core and inserted it into the groove in the middle of the device.

'Entry!'

Fortunately, his expression froze for a moment as some information entered his mind, and in a short instant, he understood the general situation.

"Ai-chan, give me the initial buckle." Sachi picked up the green-haired girl in her arms and shook her vigorously. "Hurry up!"

"As expected of the boss, he understands so quickly, but why treat Ai-chan so roughly?!" Ai-chan was dizzy and miserable from his shaking.

"Isn't this crappy place a virtual Yugi you created? And now it's out of control. Neither you nor I can log out. We can only leave by completing the game. Is this some kind of movie called 'Honkai 3rd'?" Sachi was furious at the moment, but he suddenly noticed that Ai-chan was also wearing Desire Driver, but the ID Core on it had no pattern.

"Ahem, that's right, it's all Ai-chan's fault. Please punish me as you see fit, boss. But for now, please go and fight!" Ai-chan made a few gestures in the air, and two small yellow boxes fell from the sky. "Ai-chan originally wanted to use her administrator privileges to become a player and fight alongside the boss, but suddenly she was invaded by an unknown virus. Ai-chan lost her privileges, and her player status was also affected, so she can't fight. However, Ai-chan can transfer her initial buckle to the boss, so you'll have two now!"

"Come on, boss, the initial buckle will be randomly drawn from all the buckles. Now it all depends on your luck!"

Seeing Ai-chan's incredibly expectant eyes, Sachi sighed helplessly. Oh well, she'd gotten used to it.

Picking up the two boxes, Sachi hugged Ai-chan to create some distance between herself and the Tiger Beast, and then opened the boxes.

Ai-chan's box is mostly red with a buckle that looks a lot like a motorcycle handlebar.

As for Xing's own box, looking at the glittering, slot machine-style buckle in his hand, he couldn't help but think of Invincible Player.

"That's a good start!"

Next episode, Kamen Rider Build... Special episode, Kamen Rider Geats!

Faced with unexpected Yugi that suddenly appeared, Sachi and Ai-chan encountered one battle after another.

In the out-of-control virtual space, what exactly happened to the AI players who should have been easily defeated?

Among those troublesome AI players, I was fortunate enough to spot a few familiar figures...

Author's Note—

This is an insert segment that officially brings Ai-chan into the main storyline. It lasts for 10 hours, so she can take a nap and then get back to her idol and Build work~
