Honkai City: Starting by Creating an Anime Version of Honkai Impact 3rd

Yaqing grasped the fair hand, so delicate you could see the blue veins beneath the skin, and smiled. "Pleased to meet you, Ms. Himeko. My name is Yaqing Schariac. I hope we can enjoy a pleasant afternoon together."

Seeing his wife and brother-in-law being led away, Ziegfried stood there dumbfounded for a long moment before muttering, "Wait, what about me? Just leaving me here?"

The driver helpfully added, "Mr. Ziegfried, would you like to go to the hotel in advance?"

"No! I do NOT!" Ziegfried gritted his teeth.

"Over there is St. Freya Academy's most famous teaching building, with a nearly six-thousand-square-meter area. The nine-story height allows students to overlook the distance. And over there is St. Freya Academy's clock tower, with a history of over four hundred years. Over there..." Himeko introduced, her words precise and practiced, as if she'd rehearsed them countless times.

Yaqing simply smiled in response, not seeming to pay much attention.

The clock tower's bells rang at that moment, the heavy sound echoing throughout St. Freya Academy's educational area, signaling the end of classes. Female students in uniform walked past them, a sea of pale thighs filling their vision.

Many looked at Yaqing with curiosity, their gazes filled with shyness, inquisitiveness, doubt, and even longing.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's a guy! How rare! Is St. Freya planning to recruit male students?"

"Idiot, you can tell from his aura that he's not a student. Look, Ms. Himeko is walking respectfully beside him. He's obviously an inspector sent from above."

"Ah! I love this kind of vibe, so gentlemanly. It would be even better with a touch of refined depravity."

On the third floor of the teaching building, a female student in a black uniform also glanced curiously downstairs. She had purple hair and eyes, a gentle temperament, and an air of traditional Japanese beauty.

"Mei, Mei, I'm talking to you. Why aren't you listening?" a white-haired dumpling said, puffing out her cheeks.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Kiana. I was just spacing out," Raiden Mei apologized.

"Mei, are you curious about the inspector?" said the girl sitting behind Raiden Mei, her silver-gray spiral curls tied into a high ponytail. Her slender figure and ample chest were enough to make ninety-nine percent of the girls in the world envious.

"Bronya, you don't call me 'Mei-nee' anymore," Raiden Mei said, feigning sadness.

"Mei... nee," Bronya said, her face flushing slightly. She tapped a few times on her phone, bringing up a profile. "Bronya... ahem, I hacked into Destiny's servers and found that man's information."

Kiana chewed on her handkerchief, looking enviously at Bronya's chest. She couldn't understand how the little pudding had managed to grow from a flat screen into something that surpassed her in just three years.

As if sensing Kiana's gaze, Bronya proudly puffed out her chest.

"Let me see." A girl with gray hair and red eyes, who had appeared from who-knows-where, took the phone. She was stunningly beautiful, with long, slender legs. Her only flaw was her somewhat flat chest. She exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this Yaqing?! He came to Changkong City without a word! He didn't even tell me or the old fossil!"

"Yaqing?!" Kiana exclaimed, eliciting jealousy from Mei.

She didn't understand why Kiana would react so strongly to a man's name.

Bronya seemed to understand and explained to Kiana, "Mei-nee, according to the information, Yaqing Schariac is the younger brother of Kiana's mother, Cecilia Schariac. In other words, he's Kiana's uncle."

"Uncle?!" Mei looked at Kiana in surprise, then glanced downstairs.

Fu Hua's consciousness had already run off to Fu Hua.

"Old fossil, old fossil, Yaqing came to Changkong City without telling us. Does he think so little of our friendship?"

"I don't know." Fu Hua was dazed, feeling a little sad. The ding ding of her phone rang, and Fu Hua took it out to look. It was a flood of Elysia's @ mentions in the Golden Courtyard group chat.

Pink Fairy Miss ?:"@all, everyone, Yaqing is back today and will be living here for a long time. Everyone should make time to come back tonight~?"

COOL~:"Me and Mobius will be back tonight."

ⅨNight☆Aurora:"Uh..."

Canned Goods Aren't Canned:"Amo is trying to say that she'll definitely be back if the teacher doesn't keep her after class. By the way, Elysia, is there anything you need us to bring back?"

Pink Fairy Miss ?:"No need, little Pardofelis. I've already asked my dear Aponia to bring back anything that's missing."

Nun:"I will, Elysia. The children have been a little too lively lately. I've entrusted a friend to take care of them and will be back in the courtyard before four o'clock."

Golden Fairy Miss ?:"Elysia, I'll be back."

Pink Fairy Miss ?:"Mm-hmm, Eden, my good Eden. ?(^?^*)"

Green Snake Miss ?:"So he's back. What's the big deal? What a pain. And Elysia, did you change my screen name again?!"

Pink Fairy Miss ?:"Oh my, Mobius, what are you talking about? Elysia doesn't know anything about it~?"

Mad Scientist:"Elysia, you've gained weight again."

Pink Fairy Miss ?:"Dr. Mobius, even I would be angry if you said that to a pretty girl~?"

Mad Scientist:"Hmph."

Traces of Cuts:"Sorry, sorry, Blanca and I are traveling in North America with Griseo and can't make it back tonight."

Kalpas:"Hmph, I'll be back."

Cherry Blossom:"If I don't have to work overtime today, I'll pick up Rin and go back together. It might be a little late."

Benevolent Doctor:"I don't have any surgeries today, so I'm taking leave early to prepare to go back. Elysia, is there anything I can help with?"

Pink Fairy Miss ?:"Su is still so enthusiastic. Let me think... just tidy up the living room. It hasn't been swept in three days."

Benevolent Doctor:"Okay."

The Greatest Magician of the Century (Advertising Space for Rent):"Let the greatest magician of the century present you with the most wonderful magic show tonight!!!"

Fu Hua chuckled as she watched everyone pop up in the group chat.

"Old fossil, what are you laughing at?" Fu Shi leaned over.

Meanwhile, Yaqing, who was listening to Himeko's introduction, took out his phone, looked at the chat history in the group chat, and couldn't help but smile.

Chapter 3: Destiny Far East Entertainment Company

Himeko conscientiously introduced the academy. By the time the sun reached its zenith, it was lunchtime. Himeko led Yaqing to the headmaster's office, where Theresa, Cecilia, and Ziegfried were already sitting, chatting and laughing.

Himeko led Yaqing and knocked on the door.

Theresa, who had been playfully teasing Cecilia, immediately reacted, cleared her throat a few times, and adopted the demeanor of a headmaster.

"Come in."

Himeko opened the door and smiled, "Headmaster Theresa, my mission is complete."

"Thank you for your hard work, Himeko."

Yaqing said politely, "I look forward to seeing you again, Ms. Himeko."

"Alright." Himeko left the office, closing the door behind her.

As soon as Himeko left the office, Yaqing stopped pretending. He half-reclined on the guest sofa, unbuttoned his suit jacket, and played with his flaxen short hair. His whole demeanor changed instantly.

"Keep acting, why don't you continue?" Theresa said with a teasing smile.

"Hehe, Theresa, how long have we known each other? I've been watched over by you since I was a kid," Yaqing said with a smile.

"Shut up!!!" Theresa shouted, her small face flushed red.

"Pfft, hahaha." Cecilia and Ziegfried couldn't help but laugh.

"You, you, you... Ah! Cecilia, even you're bullying me!" Theresa dove headfirst into Cecilia's embrace, rubbing against Cecilia's ample bosom.

The super headbutt caused Cecilia's chest to ache slightly. She frowned slightly and reached out to gently pinch Ziegfried, who was still laughing wildly, signaling him to restrain himself.

Yaqing took a sip of the slightly cooled tea and said seriously, "Alright, Theresa, it's time to talk business. One reason I came to the Far East this time is for inspection. The second is that I plan to establish a Destiny branch company in the Far East."

"Huh?" Theresa raised her head in confusion. She could understand each word individually, but when they were put together, she couldn't make sense of it.

You're here to establish a Destiny Far East branch? Then what am I? Could it be that Grandpa is going to withdraw his investment! No more pocket money?!

Theresa felt a surge of anxiety.

Yaqing explained, "The Chairman isn't going to withdraw the investment, but rather plans to convert it into an equity stake, allowing St. Freya Academy to become a purely educational institution, rather than a Destiny subsidiary."

Theresa's small head was filled with great confusion.

She didn't understand a single sentence, but she knew that Grandpa would still give her pocket money, so that was enough.

"So, Theresa, I plan to establish a Destiny branch in Changkong City. As you know, the Chairman has entrusted the Third Division to me, and I've already figured out what to do."

Hearing what Yaqing said, the three of them were immediately curious. Although they had known for a long time that Otto had entrusted the entire Third Division to Yaqing, they had never known what he planned to do with it.

For example, the First Division, which Theresa was in charge of, focused on education, and the Second Division, which the Kaslana family was in charge of, focused on innovation, while the Third Division, which Yaqing was in charge of, had always been a mystery.

Theresa asked curiously, "So, what are you planning to do?"

Yaqing smiled, "Take charge of the entertainment division."

"Are you planning to compete with Anti-Entropy?" Theresa asked in surprise.

"Not entirely. Anti-Entropy's focus is more on live-action tokusatsu, while my focus is on virtual anime. There may be some overlap, but the main focus isn't the same path."

Cecilia asked, "Virtual anime? Have you already thought of a script, little brother?"

Cecilia knew Yaqing very well. She knew that her little brother wouldn't make a decision unless he was absolutely sure.

"Pretty much."

Yaqing adjusted his phone projection onto the white wall.

"Honkai is a natural disaster that accompanies the development of civilization, giving rise to monsters called Honkai Beasts. People who have Honkai energy adaptation are infected by Honkai energy and turn into Dead Soldiers. When Honkai energy reaches a certain level, Herrschers are born, each with corresponding authorities."

Ziegfried nodded and said, "It's a bit like a zombie theme, but the word 'Honkai' is quite novel."

"Little brother is awesome." Cecilia applauded enthusiastically.

Yaqing gave the three of them a general introduction to the setting, but he still kept it mysterious, not revealing the character settings.

After lunch, Cecilia and Ziegfried went to see Kiana. Yaqing, ignoring Theresa's "retention," left St. Freya Academy and arranged for a driver to go to the company address in the West District.

It was a bustling district, and the only place in Changkong City that could barely compare with St. Freya Academy. High-rise buildings stood tall, and many office workers came and went.

The central high-rise was several stories taller than the others, and looking down from above, it seemed like they were all in worship.

Yaqing looked at the woman greeting him downstairs and couldn't help but have a headache.

At the entrance of the building, a woman wearing an OL professional suit that accentuated her alluring figure, with gray-gold bangs covering her left eye, and wine-red pupils looking at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, a beauty mark at the corner of her eye adding to her charm, strode towards Yaqing with her slender legs wrapped in black stockings.

"Lord Yaqing."

Yaqing rubbed his forehead, "Ah, Rita, why are you in the Far East?"

Rita looked at Yaqing and said with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes, "What do you think, Lord Yaqing?"

Yaqing suddenly recalled a week ago, when the Chairman had summoned him to the top floor.

"My old friend, are you really decided?"

"Of course, my dear chairman, don't you want to defeat those friends in Anti-Entropy in the areas they are best at?"

"Ugh, don't want to." Otto, seeing the unsurprised look on Yaqing's face, felt a sense of boredom. He chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, I admit there's still a sliver of that thought in my mind. Go ahead and do it. I'll arrange for a capable person to assist you."

"Thank you, my dear Chairman. My sincerest gratitude to you."

"Destiny will always stand behind you, for the Saintess Fantasy!"

Otto was like a man possessed. He, who was usually unfazed, became unusually excited when he mentioned the Saintess Fantasy.

"Otto, what are you doing again?" A clear, pleasant, and questioning female voice came from the office doorway.

Following the voice, a woman leaned against the doorframe. Her face was like a celestial being, her figure as seductive as a succubus. She had white hair and blue eyes, a long braid draped down her back, wearing white sleeves and a short skirt. Pure white silk stockings encased her slender legs, and she wore a large black trench coat.

"Oh, little Yaqing's here too!"

"Kallen a..."

Before Yaqing could finish his address, he saw Kallen's azure eyes suddenly turn cold.

"Sister Kallen," Yaqing called out from the bottom of his heart, stepping forward to take the shopping bags from Kallen's hand.

"Good boy." Kallen stood on tiptoe and ruffled Yaqing's hair like petting a puppy.

"Kallen, you're back?" Otto stood up.

"I'm exhausted after shopping all day. Sakura rarely comes to Europe, she wants to see every single place."

Kallen sat in Otto's seat, while Otto consciously stood behind her, the actual head of the Destiny conglomerate spanning three continents, gently massaging Kallen's delicate shoulders.

The memory ended. Yaqing vaguely remembered Otto saying that he would send a capable person to assist him, but he didn't expect it to be Rita?!

"I didn't expect the Chairman to send you, Rita. I thought it would be Shigure Kira." Yaqing walked towards the company.

Rita walked about an arm's length away from Yaqing, feigning grievance as she said, "Does Rita really pale in comparison to Senior Shigure Kira in Master Yaqing's heart?"
