Collapse City: Starting by Making an Anime Version of Honkai

"It's you, Little Void. It's been a while." Yaqing ruffled Little Void's hair.

"Long time no see, Brother Yaqing." The gray-haired boy had his hands in his pockets.

"Brother Yaqing." The black-haired boy looked more mature.

"Lyle, Adam." Yaqing nodded and ruffled both boys' heads.

"It's Teacher!" Little Void looked excitedly at the woman who had just entered, wearing a baseball cap and a black mask, completely covering herself. She waved her hand, "Goodbye, Brother Yaqing!"

Although Little Void seemed gentle, as soon as she left, the two boys followed closely behind her. Lyle looked unconvinced.

"Are they children from Aponia's orphanage?" Mobius had never been to the orphanage Aponia founded, so she didn't recognize the children.

"Yes." Yaqing smiled.

Elysia, sitting on the other side of Mobius, was chatting happily with Eden.

Kevin, holding Mei's hand, sat in the last row.

Mei sat next to Eden.

Kevin waved at Su, "Come sit here, Su."

Su's mouth twitched. He was far too clear-headed. The last row was either for couples, lesbians, or people in ambiguous relationships. What was a single dog like him going to do joining in?

So Su ignored Kevin's wave and sat three rows in front of Kevin, next to the Sakura and Ling sisters.

Sitting in the front three rows, the best viewing spot, Kiana kept turning her head, quickly attracting Mei's attention, who asked puzzledly, "Kiana, what are you looking at?"

Mei also wanted to turn her head to look, but Kiana stopped her.

"Shhh, Mei, don't turn around." Kiana was nervous.

Mei was even more puzzled.

Bronya once again demonstrated her extraordinary hacking skills, tapping code on her phone, easily pulling up Mobius's public information online.

"Mobius, director of World Serpent Technology Co., Ltd., graduated from Chiyu Academy, obtained four doctoral degrees during her university years, and has extremely high attainments in biology and chemistry. According to her identity, she should be Yaqing's senior." Bronya said in her unique, calm voice.

"Senior? I don't think so." Kiana laughed ridiculously, extremely demonic.

"Are you talking about Mobius?" Little Knowledge suddenly interjected.

"Yes, Little Knowledge, do you know what's going on?"

With Raiden Mei between Kiana and Little Knowledge, Little Knowledge tapped Kiana's forehead unhappily, ignoring Kiana's cry of pain, and raised her head high, saying, "Don't call me Little Knowledge, call me Sister Little Knowledge!"

"Ugh..." Kiana rubbed her forehead.

"I heard, I just heard," Little Knowledge said with a malicious look, "I remember when I was in the Golden Courtyard, I heard someone say that Mobius launched a fierce offensive against Yaqing when they were in college."

"Really?" Even Fu Hua was curious.

Everyone looked at Little Knowledge.

"It's true, I can testify." Su's voice suddenly rang out, startling everyone.

"You are?" Mei asked.

"I'm Su, and also Yaqing's college roommate."

"Oh, oh, oh, hello, Uncle." Kiana scratched her head.

"Pfft." The Sakura and Ling sisters couldn't help but laugh.

"It's Su, not Uncle." Su was covered in black lines, but he still told them about his university days.

Wisdom flashed in Kiana's beautiful eyes, and she carefully took out her phone, secretly took a photo, and sent it to the "Loving Family" group chat.

Pufferfish Queen: "Grasshopper, what's this photo? When did you start moonlighting as a paparazzi?"

Whirlwind Moonsea Fish Cat: "Sirin, don't call me Grasshopper! I heard, I just heard, this pretty green-haired sister used to chase after Uncle Stinky."

Pufferfish Queen: "Huh? What a pity, so young and already blind."

Snowfield Flower: "Really? That's great."

☆Heavenly Fire・Unsheathedか: "That's really, too cool! Little Brother Yaqing is so charming."

Black Abyss and White Flower: "..."

The lights in the screening room went out.

"The movie is about to start!"

Chapter 67: If Mei is Here

[The movie's plot begins with a large screen on a building, with the words "Air Raid" written in large, bright red letters. Countless unmanned combat aircraft fly across the screen, and the screen goes black.

Familiar text appears on the black screen: 2 years, 5 months, 16 days, 2 hours, 34 minutes, and 26 seconds since the Third Honkai Eruption.

When the screen lights up again, Kiana, in a tight-fitting combat suit, walks into the frame, waiting for the urging from the Bluetooth communication. After the fighter jets and Honkai Beasts explode, her soft body leaps high and somersaults.

"Neko Charm!"

Kiana raises her slender, beautiful legs high, and a huge phantom of a cat-like animal's leg suddenly appears in the air, slamming hard into the unmanned combat aircraft.

After a combat scene stacked with almost dazzling special effects, Kiana, under Himeko's arrangement, boards a new drone. After solving the Honkai Beasts attacking from the air, Kiana kneels on the drone, and through the clouds, she can see the huge steel battleship.

"Himeko, I've driven off the Honkai Beasts! I can see the Moonlight Throne now!"

"Roger. Kiana, prepare to board!"

"Straight into high gear, that's Yaqing's style alright." Kevin chuckled.

"Yaqing's style? What's that?" Mei asked, looking puzzled.

"Explosive start → uneventful middle → super hype battle → tearjerker ending." Kevin teased.

"Kevin, if I were that predictable, what kind of screenwriter would I be?" Yaqing leaned back in his seat, a half-smile on his face.

Tearjerker ending?

I'll give you a movie that's a tearjerker from start to finish later.

It's just a shame this movie...

Yaqing shook his head, genuinely regretting that Welt hadn't participated in the film's production.

In the front row, Kiana and the others were seated. Mei gave Kiana a strange look.

"Mei, why are you looking at me?" Kiana was still immersed in her cool battle scenes in the movie and didn't understand why Mei was suddenly looking at her.

"Kiana..." Mei hesitated, "In the movie, it looked like you were smashing Destiny's unmanned combat aircraft."

"So what? Isn't Destiny the villain in the movie? Besides, President Otto in the movie is the one who killed Mom. 'I' would definitely be at odds with him." Kiana didn't care, hugging two large buckets of popcorn, almost burying her face in them.

"Idiot Kiana, you didn't even pay attention to the characters and background settings." Bronya said, once again revealing her usual expression, "In the plot, St. Freya Academy is Destiny's Far East Branch, and as a student, you are a B-rank Valkyrie affiliated with Destiny."

"Huh?!" Kiana was dumbfounded.

"Just a B-rank Valkyrie..." Fu Hua muttered to herself.

"Doesn't feel as good as Class Monitor." Bronya said.

"How can you compare! In the plot, I'm just a little girl who's not even 20 years old. How can I compare to Class Monitor, who's lived for 50,000 years!" Kiana exclaimed anxiously.

Old monster…

"Pfft."

Himeko, sitting in the row in front, couldn't help but laugh.

Fu Hua's forehead veins bulged.

Only Little Knowledge laughed the loudest.

However, everyone in the screening room knew Little Knowledge and her personality, so they didn't say much.

Mei quickly covered Kiana's mouth and said, "Class Monitor, children say foolish things."

Realizing she had said something wrong, Kiana nodded quickly.

In the last row, Yaqing smiled as he watched Mei and Kiana's interaction. Mobius noticed Yaqing's smile, and her gaze towards him became somewhat strange.

"What are you smiling at?" Kevin asked curiously.

Yaqing answered every question, joking, "I'm laughing that the main Kaslana family line is probably going to die out. What do you think, Kevin? You're also surnamed Kaslana. As long as you give the order, Schariac will definitely support you in taking over the main family line."

"Stop joking. I've told you several times, although I'm surnamed Kaslana, I have nothing to do with Destiny's Kaslana. It means nothing to me." Kevin sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"That's a good line." Yaqing nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hmm~" From the other side of Mobius, Elysia poked her head out, asking curiously, "Kevin, are you in this movie too?"

"I don't know, you'll have to ask Yaqing. I didn't do any voice acting." Kevin shook his head.

Yaqing didn't answer the question, just smiled.

[After Kiana boarded the Moonlight Throne, Himeko used Bluetooth to have Kiana report the situation and issued an order. The warship was going to crash in 30 minutes, and they had to take control of the warship before then.

Hearing Himeko mention her teammates, Kiana immediately became excited.

"Mei! You're talking about Mei, right! We can meet up with Mei soon, right?"

"Calm down, don't just think about 'Mei', 'Mei', 'Mei'."

Ending the call with Himeko, Kiana planned to enter the warship's interior from the deck, but was attacked by Honkai Beasts. After dealing with the Honkai Beasts, Raiden Mei's communication came through.

"Kiana, this is Mei. I have safely arrived at the target area."

Hearing Mei's voice, Kiana's tone was noticeably more joyful.

"Mei! That's great, I'll head over to you right now!"

"Ah, wait, we should follow the operation plan—"

Kiana didn't care about the operation plan at all, she just wanted to be with Mei, even misreading "twice the result with half the effort" as "half the result with twice the effort", ending the call with Mei.

"Ugh! I can't stand it for another minute! I haven't seen Mei for 2 hours, 27 minutes, and 38 seconds!"

Kiana was like a chicken on steroids, the Dead Soldiers and Honkai Beasts along the way were instantly killed upon contact, it was as satisfying as a Dynasty Warriors game.

"Annoying Dead Soldiers and Honkai Beasts, don't block me from seeing Mei!"

On the upper level of the deck, the first thing that appeared in the shot was still her round butt, a black underskirt that couldn't be shorter, surrounded by a skirt that was practically useless, and long, blue-purple hair reaching her waist.

Kiana was running.

Just as the audience thought the two would embrace, Kiana kicked away a Dead Soldier trying to sneak an attack and then promptly jumped onto Mei's back.

"Mei! With Mei around, it's like having the strength of a hundred people!"

"The strength of a hundred people... I'm not some kind of superman..." Mei said, her tone full of affection.

"No! Just having Mei by my side already makes me feel a hundred times stronger."

Mei smiled gently. "That's something only Kiana would say."

The audience could, of course, see the different kind of feelings Kiana had for Raiden Mei in the movie. The orange atmosphere was practically bursting through the screen; only a fool wouldn't notice.

Noticing the looks from everyone, Mei was so embarrassed she wanted to bury her face in the bust size that the headmaster had chased after her entire life. Half of it was because of "Kiana's" straightforward words, and the other half was because the modeling of the plot was a little hard for her, who had received higher education since childhood, to accept.

Kiana's face was also a little red. Unlike her in the story, she, who was raised by Cecilia, definitely wasn't like that, probably...

"Stupid uncle, if you film this, what if my stupid dad and mom see it..."

Kiana was still a little worried, afraid that Cecilia and Ziegfried wouldn't be able to accept girls dating girls.

As it turned out, Kiana was just overthinking things.

Far away on the other side of the ocean, in Canghai City, Shenzhou, Ziegfried and Cecilia were also in a movie theater. When they saw this scene, Cecilia had a doting auntie smile on her face, while Ziegfried had simply come to terms with it himself.

In the last row, Mobius, watching the screen, felt that the way "Kiana" and "Raiden Mei" interacted was somewhat familiar. She glanced at Elysia, who was leaning on Eden's shoulder.

Mobius understood where that sense of déjà vu came from.
