Fu Hua Saves the Day Again / Fu Hua: I'm Tired!

Sakura tapped Rin's forehead. "How old are you? How many anime have you watched?"

In the front row, Kiana had anticipated that Theresa would cry when she was doing the voice acting, but she didn't expect that Theresa's reason for crying would be quite different from what she thought.

"Why doesn't your Aunt come? Do you, in the story, also think your Aunt unreliable?"

Kiana, who shares the same surname Kaslana, was also stumped by the question.

Fortunately, the understanding Mei came to the rescue.

"Headmistress, Kiana didn't mean that. Perhaps it's because of Himeko's situation that she's afraid of hurting us too, which is why she's avoiding us in the story."

"Yes, that's right, that's definitely what I was thinking." Kiana gave Mei a grateful look.

Himeko was surprised that she was being mentioned while quietly watching the movie, and immediately retorted, "What does this have to do with me?"

The rain started, Kiana wandered aimlessly down a deserted street. She knew in her heart that her anger towards Fu Hua was nothing more than an expression of her powerlessness against fate.

Her mind began to reminisce.

At the age of twelve, "she" awoke for the first time, causing immense destruction and even severing her father's arm.

Since that incident, she had been running away, wandering, pretending that "she" didn't exist, until she met Mei, Bronya, Theresa, and...

Kiana's voice choked with emotion, unable to utter the name, but instead, an image of Himeko appeared on the screen.

These encounters made her feel the warmth of home and gave her the idea of staying, but this simple and naive idea was difficult to fulfill.

Kiana had walked for quite some time without realizing it. The flickering neon lights interrupted her thoughts. The cacophony of people and the aroma of food made her, like a startled animal, hide in a dark, deserted alley.

For a moment, the screening room was completely silent.

Listening to Kiana's inner monologue, Elysia suppressed the urge to cry.

The once innocent Kiana now trembles at the sound of human voices because of its fearful existence. It used to be able to sneak a bite of the chicken nuggets that Mei had just made, but now its first reaction to the smell of food is to run away.

"Yaqing, isn't the script you wrote a bit too outrageous?" Elysia couldn't help but say.

Yaqing looked completely bewildered.

You're crying already?

Upon seeing Elysia in tears, Yaqing became curious.

"Senior, are you crying?"

"No."

"And you..."

"It was just a gust of wind."

Wind?

Yaqing looked around in bewilderment. Where did this wind that could make someone cry come from inside the screening room?

Kiana seemed to hear Himeko's voice again, and fell into deep memories.

The painting depicts her enrollment in 2014, the first time she met Himeko, the first lesson, and her initial instruction.

When Kiana is feeling down, Himeko comforts her with her own past. She initially wanted to become a scientist, but later, her father was Honkai by Honkai and became a monster who lost his mind.

In search of answers, she joined Schicksal and became a Valkyrie.

Someone once told her: It's never too late to do what you want to do; the most important thing is to start doing it.

Later, Himeko joined that person's army.

Kiana was curious about that person's final fate, Himeko replied that that person had already sacrificed themselves.

"Himeko! It's Himeko!"

Unlike Rosalia and Lilia's excitement, Kiana remained calm, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. This gave Bronya a clue, and she guessed what was going on.

"So Himeko- sensei was just a memory?" Seele asked timidly.

"Seele ..." Bronya didn't know how to Seele, because even she herself felt that the chances of Himeko surviving were not high.

Seele understood this, but her kind heart still preferred to believe that Himeko would reappear in the future storyline to help Kiana overcome her difficulties.

Not only Seele thinks this way, but online discussions also tend to agree with this view: as long as the official Honkai team does not explicitly state Himeko's death, there is still a chance for her to survive.

"Himeko, did someone really say that to you?" Patrick curiously, as the tone of the sentence sounded familiar.

"Yes." Himeko thought carefully. "You should know him, Director Ragna from headquarters."

"Director Ragna ..." Patrick suddenly remembered, "Rita, wasn't Ragna the mentor that headquarters assigned to you during your internship?"

"Yes, that's right." Rita said with a smile, "Director Ragna is a kind person. She owns a flower shop, and Durandal and I often go there to help out after work."

The memories gradually turned from warm to solemn. Before their first combat training, Himeko, as their instructor, gave them a serious reminder: in addition to the enemy in front of them, they should also pay attention to their comrades around them.

Each Valkyrie gains considerable power by utilizing Honkai energy, but correspondingly, they may also be corrupted by Honkai energy, turning into mindless monsters that destroy everything.

"If one day, your comrade goes out of control due to Honkai energy... you must not hesitate to end her life!"

"If it's Himeko- sensei who's out of control, should we take action too?" Kiana hesitated, her pretty face showing uncertainty.

"Even if it's me, you absolutely cannot hesitate!" Himeko's tone was serious, without the slightest hesitation. "Trying to protect the lives of the out-of-control Valkyrie will only result in more sacrifices. If you don't understand this, I will not let you go to the battlefield."

"I...I understand. So if one day I...I mean, if I lose control, then Himeko, you must..."

"I won't let that happen." Himeko glanced at Kiana, her voice gentle yet firm. "As your instructor and captain, I will do everything in my power to protect each and every one of you and keep you out of danger."

"Hey! What a cunning statement..."

For Kiana, precious and beautiful memories flashed across the screen one by one, only remaining in the Final Lesson in the Imaginary Space, on Himeko, who was covered in wounds and whose Vermilion Knight Armor was riddled with cracks.

Kiana's cries could no longer be concealed; even her voice trembled, as if suppressing boundless grievances and pain.

"You said that if a comrade lost her mind and was controlled by Honkai, you must end her life without hesitation... But why... why you..."

Kiana saw Himeko's phantom before her eyes, exactly the same action as in the Final Lesson. She could have ended Himeko's life, but instead gave her the chance to live.

Himeko vanished as a speck of light.

At the same time, several Honkai Beasts appeared, their target being Kiana was kneeling on the ground.

Inside the screening room, sobs could be heard everywhere.

Pardo was the first to break down, and she even cried so hard that snot bubbles came out of her nose.

Yaqing seemed to have a premonition, as she prepared a whole pack of tissues next to each seat.

Chapter 221 Fu Hua Saves the Day Again / Fu Hua: Exhausted!

The scene of the Final Lesson is reenacted.

The emotional impact of Kiana's sobbing voice coupled with the somber background music was comparable to Garen's whispered words, a silent yet powerful outburst that inevitably brought tears to viewers' eyes.

From their warm first meeting to their tragic Final Lesson, Himeko fulfilled her promise with her life. Although she used a gradual approach, it only made everyone feel more heartbroken.

"Yaqing! Why did you write such a sad story? Does seeing people cry make you happy?" Elysia leaned on Mei's shoulder, sobbing softly as she condemned Yaqing.

"That's right! Yaqing, I was trying so hard to forget the Final Lesson, and you... you suddenly stabbed me in the back again!" Upon hearing this, Pardo was sitting in the row in front of them, turned around, tears and snot streaming down her face.

As for the person they were criticizing, Yaqing thoughtfully handed her tissues and water, saying with concern, "Pardo, wipe your face and moisturize it."

Pardo took the paper and blew her nose.

Mobius glanced at Yaqing, and it was noticeable that Snakey's eyes were also red.

Even though she had read the script, Kiana, sitting in the front row, still couldn't hold back her tears, just like when she was doing voice acting; the tears just wouldn't stop flowing.

"Kiana..." Mei hugged Kiana, too moved to say words of comfort, she could only express it through her actions.

The Arlene sisters, who had been extremely excited, burst into tears at this moment. Bronya was at a loss for what to do, because Seele in her arms was also crying.

"Himeko ..." Theresa looked at Himeko with teary eyes.

Himeko looked helpless. Although she was deeply moved by the story, seeing the sad people around her, she felt that it would be impolite for her not to die.

"I'm not dead yet..."

Himeko's complaints were drowned out by the rising and falling cries.

"I understand you," Cheng Lixue suddenly said. "When the first Honkai movie was released, many people at headquarters called me crying, so I completely understand what you're thinking now."

"Uh, long live understanding..."

"What an amazing teacher."

Otto exclaimed.

"Um."

Ziegfried replied.

The atmosphere then became awkward.

Cecilia and Kallen went out shopping, leaving Ziegfried and Otto alone to watch a movie. The atmosphere was unusually awkward and uncomfortable. Otto tried to find a topic to talk about, but Ziegfried couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Kiana, whose mentality was shattered, dodged the attacks of the Honkai Beasts while enduring the seduction and attacks of Sirin in her consciousness. Even Fu Hua's reminders were of no use.

"Because I am you, Kiana!"

Kiana was on the verge of a complete mental breakdown. She pointed a gun at her chin, intending to commit suicide and take Sirin down with her.

Just as the extremely oppressive atmosphere stirred the audience's emotions, they couldn't help but worry about Kiana. At that moment, a melodious Chinese-style background music started playing, feathers fell again, and Fu Hua, emitting a faint light, descended like an immortal.

"Now is not the time to despair, Kiana."

"Because... I came."

"That scared me to death!" Ling lowered her hands from her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. "I really thought Kiana was going to shoot. It's all thanks to Hua."

"Hua truly embodies the Honkai series," Sakura remarked.

"Old fogey!!!" Little Knowledge shook Fu Hua's shoulders frantically. "Did you get in through connections?! Why is it that my role hasn't even made a splash yet, but you've appeared in every movie?"

"Little Knowledge, I really don't know." Fu Hua was now at her wit's end.

"Poor child." Aponia looked at Kiana, who had a tear streaming down her face on the screen, with a look of pity in her eyes and her hands clasped together. "Although she appears strong, she is still a child after all. With Hua's comfort, she exposed her vulnerability and accepted Hua again."

"Aponia, stop using so much fancy language." Kalpas snorted coldly. "If you ask me, this little girl is still not strong enough. If she were strong enough, she wouldn't have so much trouble. If it were me, I would kill Otto first, and then burn this Herrscher to ashes."

"Kalpas, you can't say that. Kiana is just a teenager. She has done very well in the face of such a major event." Aponia's tone was gentle, but it conveyed a sense of seriousness.

"Hmph, mind your own business. Instead of lecturing me, you should be comforting those brats." Kalpas crossed his arms.

Aponia looked to the side.

Adam and Lyle are comforting the crying Little Void.

Aponia was very pleased.

"That persistent ghost!"

Seeing Fu Hua ruin her plans again, Void Herrscher was annoyed, but also disdainful. In her eyes, Kiana was nothing more than a prison prepared for her by humans, Sirin all of Fu Hua's efforts were in vain.

"I...have made many mistakes because I trusted others too easily. I have also lost faith in humanity and was merely carrying out my mission in vain."

Fu Hua recounts her past and launches another attack on the Herrscher of the Void. Every punch and every move she makes is an expression of her dissatisfaction with the Honkai, while Himeko's phantom appears beside her.

Within the consciousness space created by the Herrscher, Fu Hua took control, briefly suppressing the Herrscher, and shouted to Kiana, "Kiana! It's up to you now!"

"Hua is so handsome!" Pardo exclaimed, wiping away tears as she spoke.

Many others share the same idea as Pardo. Fu Hua appears in every movie, and except for one Herrscher was defeated to a draw by three B-rank Valkyrie, she is always on the front line fighting against the Honkai.

"Living from Previous Era to the present day is also a kind of suffering," Mei rationally analyzed. "Comrades-in-arms, family, and friends are all leaving one by one, while one's own life seems to have no end in sight."

"Mei~~, don't say these things while watching a movie..." Elysia nuzzled Mei's swan-like neck.

Kevin's face darkened when he saw this.

"Heh, Elysia, do Herrscher have increased lifespans? If not, Fu Hua will continue on her path, but Kiana and the others will only slowly age until they die," Mobius suddenly said.
