"This Is Humanity's Legacy, an Ever-Burning Flame!"

Etc...

Yaqing suddenly realized something was wrong.

If Elysia cries again and complains to Eden, will she be kicked out of the Golden Courtyard?

Yaqing thought about it for a long time.

Forget it, who cares? Momentary comfort is fleeting, tomorrow's troubles will come tomorrow.

Yaqing felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason, and he had a feeling that someone was plotting against him.

But upon closer reflection, he couldn't figure out who would scheme against him, or who could possibly scheme against him.

Yaqing once again felt at ease preparing to continue watching the next "explosive" plot.

Ever since he wrote the script, he has been looking forward to the next episode every day and every night, wondering what kind of expression the Pink Elf would have on her face.

He never expected that, behind the scenes, people at headquarters and branches were already conspiring to take him down.

Otto / Cheng Lixue: Hehe!

Chapter 414 "This is the legacy of humanity, an ever-burning flame!"

After the proud and noble Queen of Void departed, all the core gems returned to Kiana's hands.

The moment the core was touched, countless fragments of consciousness flooded into Kiana's mind, instantly engulfing her consciousness and leaving only endless chaos.

Kiana gritted her teeth, using the last of her strength to try and stay awake.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes again, she was greeted by a pure white scene. Only white remained between heaven and earth, which was also the destination she was looking for: St. Freya Academy.

In the pure white center of the academy, a figure as red as a flame appeared in her sight, standing out starkly against the surrounding snow-white.

Kiana froze on the spot.

That figure seemed to be deeply etched in her eyes.

Kiana's trembling gasps reached the ears of every spectator.

But no one was paying attention to Kiana's feelings at the moment; instead, they were staring blankly at the familiar figure appearing on the screen.

Silence. The entire room fell silent.

They only hoped that Himeko wouldn't vanish like a burning flame.

"Himeko... teacher..."

Upon seeing Himeko reappear, even though she knew she was a fragment of consciousness from the Plague Gem, Elysia still couldn't help but shed tears.

"Himeko!"

Pardo's eyes widened.

She hadn't expected Himeko to appear at this time, or rather, she never imagined that Himeko would have the chance to appear.

Sakura's expression was strange.

Himeko's appearance moved her deeply, but reunion is always followed by separation. She seemed to already see Kiana and Himeko parting ways, with Pardo crying her eyes out.

A calculated scheme.

A scheme even more ruthless than the Nine-Turned Intestines.

Even knowing there's a knife to be cut, you can't help but keep watching because the storyline of Kiana and Himeko's reunion is sure to capture the attention of all viewers, leading them to willingly endure the pain that follows.

Mei glanced deeply at the tissue that Yaqing handed to Elysia, as if she understood.

After all, the next episode is titled: The Final Reunion.

Kiana, who was with Bronya and the others, became increasingly silent, leaning quietly on Mei's shoulder and closing her eyes.

Seeing Kiana's expression, Bronya felt a sense of foreboding.

Himeko's appearance had already made her sense something was wrong, and now her premonition had only intensified.

"Sister Bronya, Himeko- sensei..."

Seele couldn't continue; with her keen intellect, she would surely guess what was going on.

"It's alright, Seele. I believe that Yaqing will definitely give Himeko a 'wonderful' ending."

Bronya gently embraced Seele.

Seele forced a smile, listening to the impotent rage of the Dark Seele in her mind—after all, she was just a second personality.

Himeko was now looking awkwardly at Theresa, who was hugging her and crying, her snot and tears staining Theresa's clean white shirt, while she had to endure Vita's meaningful gaze from the side.

Himeko looked at herself on the screen, still wearing the Eclipse Armor, with a sense of helplessness.

It's as if they've forgotten that she was in tears when she recorded this scene.

Kiana knew perfectly well why she was here. Reason told her that this was just a world created by the core memories, and the figure in front of her was just a fragment of consciousness from the Plague Gem.

Despite this, Kiana still longed for the chance to see her again, even if it was just to say goodbye.

Kiana then took a step and ran towards the figure. She was very close, but she stopped, as if she was retreating or as if she was afraid.

The figure slowly turned around, and Kiana's eyes stung with tears.

The wind and snow howled, but the music was gentle.

Himeko's familiar yet unfamiliar voice reached everyone's ears.

"Long time no see, Kiana."

Her smile remained as gentle as ever.

The audience was in a daze, as if Himeko had really been resurrected, but they knew in their hearts that Himeko was already dead.

Kiana felt the same way. She had so much to say to Himeko, but when the words came out, all that remained was a choked sob.

"Himeko... Teacher..."

Elysia burst into tears.

Women are emotional beings, and Elysia is an outstanding example of this.

While wiping away tears with tissues, she accused the screenwriter of being inhuman.

I don't know how long it's been since I last saw Himeko in the main storyline.

So when I heard Himeko say, "Long time no see, Kiana," my suppressed emotions suddenly burst forth. Even though I knew it was just a fragment of consciousness, I still couldn't help but shed tears.

Himeko's charisma was evident even after the Final Lesson, when so many people refused to believe Himeko was dead. Now, their hopes were like kites with broken strings.

Himeko only needs to turn around and say a greeting to bring tears to the eyes of the audience.

Yaqing silently took out his phone and recorded Elysia's breakdown, remembering Eden's orders.

"You stinky Yaqing... don't you dare take pictures of me..."

While sobbing, Elysia pretended to snatch Yaqing's phone.

Yaqing dodged backward.

But then she saw Mobius's pretty face, expressionless.

Yaqing sensed something was wrong.

"You really are inhuman!"

Mobius twisted Yaqing's ear with one hand.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, senior, it hurts."

Yaqing was punished. He only remembered that women are emotional beings, but forgot that Mobius was not heartless. She also had emotions and could be moved, but she just didn't usually show it.

Elysia immediately stopped crying and started laughing.

Mobius snorted and released Yaqing.

Mei shook her head, clicking her tongue in amazement. The world had truly gone mad that Mobius would one day stand up for Elysia.

The rational Mei did not shed tears, but she felt a little emotional.

Kevin, on the other hand, cried uncontrollably.

Su sighed. In his eyes, doctors and teachers were both noble professions, and teachers like Himeko deserved even more respect.

The atmosphere in the cinema was strange.

There were loud cries, sighs, and soft sobs.

They were all staring at the big screen, as if their souls had been captivated.

"Did I... appear too suddenly?"

Upon hearing Himeko's words, Kiana shook her head vigorously.

Accompanied by gentle piano music, Himeko's smile grew even more tender as she softly remarked on how much Kiana had changed.

"Himeko- sensei... hasn't changed at all."

Kiana said, her voice choked with emotion.

"Really? Then I'm quite happy."

Kiana bit her lip, silent, silent, still silent. She looked at Himeko, wishing time could stand still, but she still asked that question.

"This is just a fleeting remnant of consciousness, isn't it...?"

"... Right, at least time doesn't flow here, but we can still have this conversation."

Himeko did not deny it, but looked at the tears in Kiana's eyes and revealed a trace of sadness.

"I'm sorry I couldn't be by your side."

"No, it's okay... I'm happy to see Himeko- sensei again."

Kiana's voice was somewhat hoarse, as if something was blocking it. Looking at Himeko, whom she had met again, she could only manage an extremely forced smile.

"At least, I can say goodbye to you properly in this way."

It was just a "simple" conversation, yet it brought many people to tears.

"Kiana's choked-up voice was so realistic, it was really hard not to recognize her..."

Elysia cried uncontrollably, and soon the entire pack of tissues was used up.

Yaqing rubbed her forehead, regretting that she hadn't prepared enough.

"That's true. I heard that Kiana cried so much during the recording of this scene that she couldn't continue."

Yaqing chuckled.

Yaqing's words were like a knife to Elysia's heart.

Miss Pink Elf couldn't help but wonder, if she could really keep watching, since even the voice actress herself cried while doing the voice acting?

But if Elysia doesn't watch it now, she'll probably be thinking about Honkai for the next few days.

Himeko was once again moved by Kiana's transformation. The student who used to skip classes had now grown into a great hero who defeated the Herrscher of the Void, and she felt very gratified from the bottom of her heart.

"Let's not talk about that now, Kiana. Do you want to go back to St. Freya for a visit?"

Kiana didn't hesitate at all. Since the Battle of Schicksal, she had left the academy, and if she had the chance, she would definitely want to go back and take a look.

Then, Himeko reached out her hand.

"How about we go now?"

"...!"

Kiana was surprised and a little confused.

"Kiana, let's enjoy this moment when time doesn't flow."

As soon as Himeko finished speaking, pure white light once again filled the entire screen. As the light gradually faded, Kiana found that the surrounding scenery had changed, transforming into the St. Freya Academy of her memories.

Himeko + St. Freya Academy, a double flashback.

Pardo's eyes widened.

It would be strange if he didn't cry uncontrollably after being stabbed.
