Honkai Impact 3rd: Starting with creating an anime version of Honkai Impact 3rd

When Mei finally realized what was happening, her pretty face turned bright red, and white steam kept rising from her head, almost triggering the smoke alarm.

"Kiana... Kiana, love and all that... this is happening in public." Mei was so shy she wanted to crawl under the seat.

"Love is truly a poison." Himeko sighed as she watched Mei, who was usually as elegant as a lady, being teased into becoming a steampunk princess by Kiana's words. She couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

Where exactly is her love?!

"Hey, hey, hey!" Seeing Kiana and Mei's intimate behavior, the younger Rin was somewhat shocked. "Aren't they both girls? How can they..."

Sakura quickly covered Rin's eyes, blocking her view of Kiya. "Rin, don't look, it's forbidden knowledge."

"Hey sis, you've put your hand on my hip!"

Unlike Rin, Blanca was also worried that Gretsch's early exposure to these things would have a negative impact on her physical and mental development.

"Gratio..."

Blanca was even more puzzled when she saw Gretchen's calm and composed face, showing no surprise at seeing her so close to Gretchen.

Greta quietly hid the small backpack behind her.

In Central Europe.

Cecilia stared intently at Yaqing with her beautiful eyes.

"Sister, stop looking at me. I'm just a screenwriter, what do I know about love?" Yaqing felt uncomfortable being stared at. "I'm just following the plot, it doesn't mean I know their progress."

"Hmph, that's for the best!" Cecilia snorted like a little woman.

Seeing her uncle being completely subdued by her mother, Durandal's mind started to stir again. Don't let her gentle, intellectual, and somewhat dull appearance fool you; when she was little, she was much more mischievous than Kiana.

Because she was forcibly taken away, Theresa kept trying to communicate with the cyborg girl during the evacuation.

"Um... little friend, we're not robbers, you know?"

"Then let me go."

"Uh... I'm afraid that won't work."

“Kidnapper,” the cyborg girl blurted out.

"Huh?! We're good people!!"

In the first negotiation, Theresa was ultimately defeated. Unable to bear it any longer, she summoned Bronya and asked her to get the cyborg girl to reveal Kiana's whereabouts.

“The academy head has spent most of his life in education, so he should have more experience dealing with children.” Bronya’s expression was still blank, but you could still sense a hint of a smile in her tone.

"Most of your life? What are you implying?!" Theresa almost broke down because of Bronya's words. Without thinking, she said, "Bronya is more experienced in dealing with machines."

“Machine…” Compared to Theresa, who was nearly overwhelmed, the cyborg girl fell silent at the mention of “machine,” and quietly lowered her head.

“Theresa is still too anxious at this point. Calling a cyborg a machine is tantamount to erasing her identity as a human being.” Himeko frowned.

“I…I…I didn’t mean to…” Theresa lowered her head.

"The headmistress misspoke because she was too worried about Kiana."

"Yeah, Aunt Flo is probably really eager to know where I am. Wait... where am I now?!" Kiana realized her mistake.

“Oh right! Where is Kiana now? Schicksal is looking for her too, could she be in Anti-Entropy?” Rosalia said.

"Hey, hey, hey, did you guys forget someone? Cocolia, the villain from the second season." Sirin, who was sitting in the corner and worried that someone would steal her snacks, suddenly spoke up.

“It can’t be Mom!” Lilia retorted.

“That’s right, that’s right,” Rosalia quickly agreed.

Seeing the topic getting further and further off track, Bronya gave Kiana a meaningful look, since Kiana was the one who first brought up the topic.

Kiana seemed to sense Bronya's gaze and smiled slightly.

"The headmaster said something he shouldn't have."

Bronya's reminder made Theresa realize she had misspoke and tried to make amends by asking for the other person's name, but she was shut down by the reply that machines don't need names.

"Machine? What are you talking about! I was just talking nonsense, I'm so sorry."

Despite Theresa's apology, the cyborg girl's tone remained unchanged.

"Don't feel sorry, because I am indeed a machine." The cyborg girl shrugged. Machines only need coding, not names. She told the other party to call her "humanoid machine".

"Was your modification done by... Grey Snake? He did such terrible things to you."

The humanoid machine shook its head. Gray Serpent had saved them. In Sky City, everyone had a machine installed inside their body. Completely natural humans were strange. She herself had undergone surgery after the Great Collapse.

At that time, her head had already been corrupted by Honkai energy. In order to survive, she had no choice but to undergo experiments. In return, she would provide Grey Serpent with internet access and screen information.

"I thought Grey Serpent was the villain. I never imagined he would modify others to save people." Pado exclaimed in surprise, "Doesn't that confirm that Destiny is the villain?"

“Pado, judging a person’s character by their appearance,” Su said. “Besides, the voice actress for Grey Snake is Ya Qing.”

“I always felt that Gray Serpent and Mebius had some special relationship…” Mei thought carefully: “Or perhaps they had some relationship with the previous civilization, or with “us”.”

"You don't mean to say that the Grey Serpent is a robot left behind by the previous civilization to help the current civilization, do you?" Mebius glanced at her.

"Why not?" Mei smiled.

After hearing the humanoid machine's story, Theresa remained silent for a moment. Her previously anxious heart suddenly sank. She told the humanoid machine that the Great Honkai four months ago had taken away one of her very important friends.

Theresa slowly recounted why she wanted to become a Valkyrie: to protect. However, in her eyes, she had not fulfilled her duties as a Valkyrie, and the oath of protection she had sworn pierced her heart like a sharp knife.

Cecilia, Himeko, Kiana...

Theresa gazed at the distant night sky.

"Himeko... if you were standing here, you would definitely have a better way of solving this problem than I do..."

"We haven't been able to find you for the past four months. Where are you?"

"Now that we have a lead on Kiana, you...you must be safe and sound too, right?"

Chapter 162 Kiana is not K423

"Ji Zi..."

The previously bustling screening room fell silent.

Staring blankly at the plot on the screen, with Theresa's voice conveying her inner thoughts in their ears, a sudden stab caught everyone off guard.

Only then did they realize that Honkai Impact wasn't just a simple movie, but a tragedy, and that Himeko and Kiana were still missing.

"We haven't committed any crime, have we? Why did they suddenly stab us?" Pado muttered to herself, suddenly snapping back to reality as she was pulled back to the mindset of her final lesson.

Himeko had a headache. She could already imagine how many former students would call her crying and offering their condolences after the movie ended.

"Eden, you said, Himeko-sensei really..." Alicia leaned on Eden's shoulder, her heart filled with emotion, as if she could see Himeko's fate, yet she still couldn't believe it.

She seemed to be struggling with her own perception of Yaqing; she knew it, yet she didn't believe it.

Eden didn't comfort Ellie; instead, he put his arm around her soft shoulder.

Eden was unaware of the plot, and she couldn't tell Ellie whether Himeko was alive or not, because she knew Ellie would believe her unconditionally, and when the last piece of cloth was torn apart, Ellie would feel an even greater knife.

Even though they had already guessed how the plot would unfold, they were still desperately trying to find even the slightest clue to overturn their own guesses.

"Teacher Jizi..."

Kiana is not a bug after all. She feels sorry for her character in the story. After learning that "she" was responsible for her teacher's disappearance and caused countless families to be destroyed, how desperate must she feel?

More than a creator, she's like an older sister, looking at Kiana, whom she voices, or perhaps observing different developments and her past self.

"Ok?"

Kiana suddenly felt her hand being enveloped in warmth. She looked up and saw Mei quietly watching her.

Kiana smiled sweetly.

She is not the same as her.

She didn't have a tragic past, nor was she a K423 created by someone. She had a warm family, loving relatives, her mother, father, uncle, aunt...

She will not separate from Mei.

Bronya looked at Kia, who was radiating a sweet aura, and took Seele's hand.

This time, Seele did not pull away; her face flushed slightly.

"They call you the headmaster, are you a teacher?"

"Forget it...let it go."

When asked this question by the humanoid machine, Theresa could only give this ambiguous answer for a moment. She didn't remember what subjects she had taught, and she didn't know whether she could be considered a teacher.

At this moment, the humanoid machine pointed to the photo in Theresa's hand and asked about the girl in the photo. Theresa nodded, stroking Kiana's photo, and settled the humanoid machine's question.

“She is my most important student.” Theresa took this opportunity to ask the humanoid machine again about Kiana’s whereabouts.

The humanoid machine also wanted to help Theresa, but without Gray Serpent's permissions, she couldn't access any data.

Just then, Mei sent a message informing them that Rita was the murderer who killed Gray Snake.

When Mei requested to return to the team, Bronya unusually refused, pointing out that a tracker had been installed inside Mei's Valkyrie armor.

Using a counter-strategy, Bronya instructed Mei to temporarily deviate from the team's route and disrupt Rita's reconnaissance.

"Auntie, I never imagined that I would be your most important student! I'm so touched~" Kiana took the opportunity to hug Theresa's less than 1.5-meter-tall body and took a deep breath, like she was petting a cat.
