Live Stream Honkai Impact 3rd, I Choose to Expose Kiana in Arc City! Chapter 9

However, Beichen reconsidered and noticed something off.

That's not right. According to this timeline, shouldn't she have already been dealt with by Otto... Could it be that this is Fu Hua from a different timeline?

But that doesn't fit either. Even if it were a different timeline's Fu Hua, she should still recognize herself, right?

She actually asked who this was? With Fu Hua's personality, she wouldn't make such a reckless move that risks exposing herself, would she?

Beichen pondered for a moment and felt that Azure Empyrea wouldn't play some "guess who I am" game with him.

So that means this Fu Hua really doesn't know the Fu Hua of the current era? Could it be that she's not from this civilization's Fu Hua?

If this hypothesis holds, then she probably hasn't yet befriended the companions of the current era or become the guardian immortal of Shenzhou in later ages.

So this Fu Hua from the past should be called Hua right now?

The Hero bearing the [Floating Life] sigil?

Beichen hadn't expected the live stream to feature characters from different eras, and he was a bit surprised.

But he quickly calmed down, continued streaming as if nothing had happened, and explained:

"I have no idea either! As the story unfolds later, maybe we'll figure out exactly who she is."

"Fair enough." Fu Hua sent a bullet comment and then fell silent.

Seeing how easily she responded, Beichen couldn't help but marvel—truly the immortal of Shenzhou, undercover at St. Freya Academy.

She acted like she didn't know herself so convincingly!

If she didn't win a Best Actress award, it would be a massive loss for the entertainment industry!

However, what Beichen didn't know was just how shaken the other party was at this very moment.

Previous Era, Moth Chasing Fire headquarters.

Hua stood dazed in the training room, her eyes filled with confusion and surprise.

Just now, she seemed to have seen another version of herself.

That person had an appearance identical to her own, even the heroic aura between her brows was strikingly similar.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a clone of herself!

But the problem was... was this herself in a game?

Who made this game? And why put herself into it?

"Could it be Mobius's doing?"

"Mobius? Huh? What about Mobius, Hua~"

From the entrance of the training room came a pleasant, melodious female voice.

Hua recognized the speaker's identity the moment she heard that familiar voice.

She turned around and indeed found a beautiful pink figure leaning against the door, smiling at her.

This lovely, charming girl had pink hair, skin as fair and delicate as snow, and a sweet smile on her exquisite face that was breathtaking.

Her eyes were a blue tinged with pink highlights, sparkling with lively, radiant light as if they could speak, and her whole demeanor exuded a lively, playful aura.

"Elysia..." Hua softly called out the girl's name, then asked, "Why are you here?"

"To say hello to you, of course~"

Elysia sweetly smiled, then stepped lightly over to Hua, clasping her hands behind her back and teasingly said: "And to check on you, my dear Hua~ Have you moved past the setback of the Fusion Warrior squad's disbandment?"

Elysia squinted and smiled. Her smile was so beautiful, like a blooming flower, giving an illusion of a spring breeze...

Hua looked at the Hero who cared for her and finally let out a sigh.

"Don't worry about me. As a warrior, I still have many shortcomings, but I won't hesitate to follow orders."

"Oh, don't be so rigid, Hua~" Elysia blinked, then smiled and commented, "But it seems you don't need my guidance anymore. What a shame~ I wanted to have an honest girl talk with Hua~"

"Sigh... Is there something you actually need?"

Hua let out a long breath, feeling a bit overwhelmed by this enthusiastic girl.

"Oh! I almost forgot, here~ These are the sigils of the Heroes. From now on, you're one of the Thirteen Heroes, so let's get along well."

With that, Elysia took out a sigil engraved with the [Floating Life] pattern and handed it to Hua.

"This is your sigil, [Floating Life], and mine is [True Self]~ A blooming flower, isn't it pretty?"

Only then did Hua realize that Elysia had come here specifically to deliver this to her.

"So you came to give me this? Thank you."

"Hehe, if you ever have any trouble or something on your mind, feel free to come talk to me anytime~"

Elysia's words suddenly reminded Hua of something.

She stared blankly at the beautiful girl before her, her heart beginning to waver.

Should she, or shouldn't she, reveal what she had experienced these past few days to her?

Chapter 13: Seele Cannot Understand the Character Relationships in This Circle...

Before Hua could make a decision, Elysia opened her eyes.

She still looked at this companion with a smile, as if she had already sensed something was off:

"Hm? Why that adorable expression? Hua, do you have something on your mind you want to share with me, but feel too shy to say it?"

"This... wouldn't it be too much trouble for you?" Hua still hesitated.

"Hehe~ Hua, the way you're holding back is so cute. Alright, don't be stubborn. Come on, tell me everything. What, do I... really look like a bad person?"

Hua couldn't withstand Elysia's onslaught.

She looked at the girl's face leaning in close and couldn't help but marvel at how she seemed close to everyone and always solved problems in ways others wouldn't expect. It was as if nothing could stump her.

"Actually..."

In the end, after a fierce internal struggle, Hua chose to reveal what she knew.

Inside the live stream, as the game's CG finished playing.

On the phone screen, the figure of a petite white-haired loli appeared.

[What a lovely evening. Yawn~]

Above the text box, a name was marked: Theresa...

Seeing her again, Beichen felt a pang of nostalgia for his time as Captain of the Hyperion.

Who would've thought that after transmigrating into the Honkai world, he'd still be seeing Theresa in a Honkai game.

Free group 95018 0909

After sighing, Beichen tapped the screen again.

Soon, a familiar figure appeared beside Theresa.

[Theresa-sama, good evening. Bishop Otto has received the report you submitted regarding the "Moonlight Throne." I will arrive at the Far East Branch tomorrow to verify the report and the battleship.]

Beichen recognized at a glance that the speaker, who looked like a holographic projection, was none other than the Valkyrie Rita who had welcomed him to Schicksal.

Otto, watching in the live stream, recognized her too.

After confirming that this character in the game was almost perfectly identical to Rita, he was shocked once again.

What kind of being had made this game?

Why were Azure Empyrea, Theresa, and Rita appearing? And the "Otto" Rita mentioned... that's me, isn't it?

The more Otto thought, the more unbelievable it seemed.

Could this be a game made by a god?

How could it know him and them so thoroughly? Even the events were almost exactly the same...

But Otto didn't say much.

He wouldn't expose himself so easily. He even warned Durandal not to speak carelessly or make a fuss.

All future remarks required his permission.

"That's an order."

"I will obey." Durandal said solemnly.

With his subordinate's assurance, Otto turned his gaze to his dear 'granddaughter' Theresa.

[Hmm, Rita... welcome for the inspection tomorrow. All the arrangements are ready. You have other business this time, don't you? If it's just to confirm the battleship, there's no need for a special trip, right?]

[Yes, His Holiness the Bishop hopes I can attend this year's Valkyrie ranking exam. He's looking forward to you doing something interesting here.]

[Grandfather is still such a bother...]

Seeing Theresa's jab at him, Otto was at a loss for words: "..."

Meanwhile, Beichen noticed that the long-silent live stream had finally floated a comment—though it was just a string of punctuation—but he wasn't about to miss the chance to mess with his boss.

"What's wrong? This boss? Do you have something you want to say?"

"Heh, nothing. Just continue your stream." Otto forced calm and cut off the topic.

"Streamer Big Brother," as the two chatted, Seele mustered her courage to ask a question, "Who is this cute little girl? Why does that big sister call her 'sama'?"

"Cute little girl..."

Hearing Seele's term for Theresa, Beichen was amused.

It seemed Seele didn't know what a 'legal loli' was.

If she found out that Theresa was old enough to be her mother, he wondered if she'd be shocked.

"Hehe, let's keep watching. I think we'll find out soon enough."

"Oh, okay."

As their conversation ended, Theresa and Rita's talk also came to a close.

But just as the conversation ended, Rita suddenly added an unexpected remark:

[Hehe, by the way, long time no see—you're still as cute as a doll.]

[Doll? Huh? Huh? Why bring that up all of a sudden...]

[Well then, sorry for the interruption. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.]

[This woman is... a bit dangerous... (wipes sweat) She makes me want to pull out Judah.]

Otto: "..."

Beichen: "What's wrong now?"

Otto: "Nothing. Just keep streaming."

Otto found Rita's compliment baffling.

Her mission report hadn't mentioned this line, and that comment about being as cute as a doll... well, it wasn't wrong, though.

And Theresa—she still seemed a bit impatient.

Just as Otto was sighing to himself, the game screen entered live gameplay.

A cute nun in a habit, carrying a cross almost as tall as herself, appeared on the screen, accompanied by a thought bubble: [I need to hit something to blow off steam!]

Otto: "..."

Beichen: "What now? Just say it if you have something to say!"

Otto: "Nothing. I just think this girl is very cute."

Seeing Archbishop Otto brush him off again, Beichen couldn't help but chuckle.

He hadn't expected this guy to have an awkward moment too—how amusing.

Of course, Beichen knew he'd teased him enough for now. It was time to settle down and focus on streaming the game.
