Kallen: Ah... Otto... Couldn't You Have Waited Until I Was Done in the Bathroom?
Once the first question about Himeko's survival appeared, almost all the questions that followed were similar. Even if Elysia wanted to find another question, it would be difficult to find one in the sea of comments.
Yaqing pondered for a moment, "I can't say. I can't tell you whether Himeko is alive or dead. I can only tell you that Himeko will appear again."
"That's fantastic! I knew Himeko wasn't dead!"
["Very good..."]
Although Yaqing didn't say it explicitly, his words subtly shifted the audience's perception to that Himeko was still alive. Coupled with the smokescreen at the end of the previous movie, the viewers in the live stream all believed that Himeko was still alive, with only a small number remaining skeptical.
"Yaqing, that's great! Himeko is still alive! Fairy knew Himeko wouldn't be gone so easily!"
Elysia's happier expression than anyone else made Yaqing feel a little sorry for her, but he still held it in. Himeko's life or death was a breaking point.
Will the Honkai series ever get a web series adaptation?
One question was different from the others; it didn't inquire about the plot development, but rather about the web series.
"Yes, there will be."
["The last web series was Anti-Entropy: Origin, will the next one be Schicksal: Origin? /laughs"]
"I want to see Yae Sakura and Kallen!"
"How dare you! Kallen clearly belongs to Bishop Otto!"
In a luxurious office, a blond-haired man frantically typed on the keyboard.
Yaqing sensed something was wrong, because very few audience members spoke up for Otto. And with such a strong tone and a smirk playing on their lips, he understood.
"Don't worry, everyone. The Honkai series is not only a web series, but also a web movie that may be released later. You don't need to wait for months to see the movie at home."
"Praise be to Saint Yaqing."
"Praise be to Saint Yaqing."
"..."
"You've all been asking this question, but Miss Fairy actually wants to ask one too~" Elysia blinked. "Yaqing, you promised Miss Fairy that a character based on Miss Fairy would be released, how long has it been?"
Elysia's words stirred up a huge wave of controversy.
In Miss Fairy's live stream, there were still some fans who hadn't watched the Honkai series, but when the name Elysia appeared in the Honkai series, they couldn't help but watch it.
"So there really is a fairy lady?"
"My friend keeps urging me to watch it. I'm not interested in anime, but now I have to."
"Elysia, do you really want to hear this?"
Elysia instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
"Yaqing ~~, my dear Yaqing, don't tell me the plot, just tell me that Miss Fairy will probably be in a few more movies before she appears, okay~" Elysia used her coquettish tactics.
"So... so cute! /I'm spitting blood!"
["Wow, screenwriter Yaqing truly deserves to be called a role model for us men. Even when faced with the enchanting charm of the fairy lady, he remained completely unmoved! / Thumbs up"]
"Does he like men?"
"I haven't even finished writing the script yet, how can I be sure which movie you'll be in?" Yaqing smiled. The movie plots were all in his head, but being a lazy bum, he always wrote the script as he went along.
"Hmph, you wicked Yaqing." Elysia crossed her arms.
Seeing the interaction between the two, the green Serpent Lady in the laboratory was already emitting black smoke, and the phone watching the live stream kept making clicking noises.
Yaqing was unaware of this.
He laughed and said, "That's all for the Honkai Q&A. Today, we also have a new short drama to share with you all."
Chapter 208 Kallen: Ah... Otto... couldn't you have waited until I finished using the toilet?
"Great!"
"In the absence of movies, only short films could soothe my young heart."
"By the way, isn't Miss Fairy a talk show host? Can we watch short dramas here?"
"It's okay~" Elysia blinked her beautiful eyes, "Because you haven't signed with a guild, you're streaming on your own, not just limited to emotional live streams."
For Elysia, live streaming wasn't that important, and she didn't want to make money by receiving gifts through it. All she wanted was to be able to chat with all sorts of people from around the world, nothing more.
If only Yaqing could ignore the last time Eden invited everyone in the courtyard to a certain island for a trip, and then forgot to return at night and stayed overnight at the villa on the island, the wailing of a certain pink-haired fat woman.
"No! My vacation! My Vlgo! My views!"
Thinking of this, Yaqing couldn't help but chuckle.
Elysia's death stare.
"Yaqing, I feel like you're thinking something bad."
"No." Yaqing was struggling to suppress her laughter.
"Hmph~" Elysia snorted.
A sea of envy floated across the screen.
At that moment, the two people in the courtyard watching the video had completely different opinions and attitudes.
Eden's global tour in Scandinavia is about to begin. In the dressing room, Eden, dressed in a formal gown, watches the interaction between Elysia and Yaqing on the live stream. He smiles slightly, his gaze gentle, but he never looks at Yaqing.
But someone in the lab was different; he wanted to crush his phone and stared intently at Yaqing.
["I'm so envious...no, I'm not envious at all! /Tears"]
"Wait, why is screenwriter Yaqing living with Miss Fairy?!"
"Holy crap!"
"Yeah, why are you two living under the same roof?!"
"My most respected screenwriter Yaqing? Bah, you old scoundrel!"
"Hey, hey, hey, that's getting way off topic." Yaqing panicked when he saw the comments section spiraling out of control. He was afraid that Mobius might misunderstand this scene.
"Yes, everyone, don't get me wrong, Yaqing has a girlfriend~" Elysia glanced at Yaqing and smiled slightly, "It's Serpent Lady who used to cover for Miss Fairy~"
Elysia's explanation did not calm the barrage of comments; instead, it made them even more numerous.
"Serpent Lady! Is she that aloof and sophisticated female doctor?!"
"I'm so angry! Not only is he richer than me, but he's also more talented. And not only is his girlfriend prettier than mine!"
"Wake up, you don't have a girlfriend."
"Blanch!"
"From this day forward, I am irreconcilably opposed to that old scoundrel Yaqing!"
"You old scoundrel!!!"
Seeing that in such a short time he had gone from being the most respected screenwriter to a scoundrel, Yaqing was both amused and exasperated, and looked at Elysia.
"Hehe~" Elysia smiled slightly.
"Forget it, let's not worry too much about my personal affairs and let's focus on the Honkai series."
Yaqing reluctantly opened the official website page.
After refreshing the page several times, a new short drama, "Honkai Impact 3rd: The Return of Grace," appeared next to "Cherry Blossom Memories" in the official section.
Yaqing explained, "Whether it's a short drama or a web series, they all supplement the world view of the movie, and there are even some segments that were not included in the movie due to time constraints."
"So, in other words, short dramas, web series, and movies all exist within the same worldview?"
"Enough talk, quickly bring up the web series from the Previous Era. I want to see how Kevin annihilates an entire generation, and Sakura too."
"So beautiful!" Elysia exclaimed, looking at Yae Sakura looking back on the cover of the short drama.
Yaqing clicked to play.
The short film begins in a burning ruin, with the shrine's torii gate shattered and lying on the ground. Kallen, covered in injuries, watches Yae Sakura approach.
The Black Fox's voice was like a devil's temptation.
Yae Sakura raised her katana, her eyes filled with endless indifference.
"Wake up! Sakura!!"
"A lightning strike at the opening ceremony!"
"Is Sakura being controlled?" Elysia looked at Yaqing. Knowing Sakura as she did, she was definitely not the kind of person who would raise a knife against her best friend.
Yaqing did not answer.
"What exactly is that Black Fox? Every time Yae Sakura appears, that fox is there, and every word it says seems to bewitch her."
"Let's make a bold assumption: the Black Fox is Bell!"
"Get out!"
["(Audience swears) You!"]
Yaqing's eyes lit up.
He didn't know if the other person had analyzed it or guessed, but when the other person gave the answer, they were attacked by the comments section like a rat in the street.
On the other side of the world, in the affluent area of Central Europe.
Inside the love cabin.
Otto held Kallen tighter than ever before, as if afraid that if he loosened his grip even slightly, Kallen would leave him.
Kallen was stunned. Ever since the short drama came out, Otto, who was coming home from work at the headquarters building, would hug her tightly as soon as he got home. He even stopped cooking and had Amber bring the food over so he could stick to her.
"Otto, I've been holding you all day, how much longer are you going to hold you like this?" Kallen helplessly.
"Always." Otto put his arm around Kallen's shoulder on the bed.
"So you'll have to carry me even when I go to the toilet?"
"May I?"
"Roll!!!"
Kallen irritably broke free from Otto's embrace, put on her slippers, and got up to go to the bathroom.
"The Void Archives; turn on the television."
Ever since Otto watched the Honkai series, he renamed the smart butler in his villa to Void Archives. If it weren't for the laws of various countries, he might actually have been able to build a floating archipelago of Schicksal.
After the TV was turned on, a notification appeared on the Honkai Collapse Official Website that it was being updated.
Otto clicked on it instinctively.
He was overjoyed after watching it for just a few minutes.
"He truly is my student; he understood my thoughts before I even opened my mouth."
Otto thought that his phone call to Yaqing had worked, so he quickly got up and went to the bathroom, knocking on the frosted glass door.
"What are you doing?!" came Kallen's disgruntled voice from inside.
"Kallen, Kallen, open the door!" President Otto was like an excited child, eager to show Kallen the content of the short play.
"Get out!"
"Kallen, listen to me..."
The bathroom door was opened a crack, Kallen unceremoniously threw out a large bag of toilet paper, which accurately hit Otto on the head, before quickly closing the door again.
Otto caught the toilet paper.
"Kallen..."
"Ugh, Otto, can you wait until I'm done in the bathroom before you talk to me?!"
"Good!"
