"I don't need to go back to the past..."
"She doesn't need it either!!"
After saying that, Mei's body crackled with lightning, and she mobilized almost all her power to unleash a terrifying slash in the theater that dominated the area.
This strike not only consumed a great deal of Mei's power, but also caused the Herrscher of the Void to wail in agony.
The Dominator was severely damaged, and its dominion was completely disrupted.
The authority to recognize laws and the authority to reason that it took away will soon return to Fu Hua and Bronya.
Mei also appeared somewhat weak.
In that case, Mei will soon be kicked out of this theater.
But that's all Mei can do.
Seeing this, Eden couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"Sigh... it seems Mei and Kiana won't be able to meet for a while."
Alicia chuckled and comforted her, "But even so, aren't they still fighting side by side?"
……
Mei's terrifying slash sent thunderclaps echoing throughout the entire theater.
Not only Bronya and the others heard it, but Kiana, who was inside the Plague Gem space, also heard it.
The game also occasionally showed Kiana's perspective.
Eden had no idea that this part of the story would be the most heart-wrenching part of the entire chapter.
Upon seeing Himeko again, a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
"Are you all outside...?" Kiana looked surprised in the video.
"It seems they are fighting a Herrscher, which finally breaks the stagnation of time here," Himeko said, chuckling softly.
"See, I told you so, Kiana, you're never alone."
Before Himeko could finish speaking, a second terrifying clap of thunder resounded.
Kiana: "..."
Ji Zi: “…”
They knew that their time together was running out.
After all, their allies outside are still fighting against the Herrschers.
The two remained silent for a long time before Himeko finally broke the silence.
"Are you ready, Kiana?"
"I... understand, Himeko-sensei..."
“Come on, let’s walk a little further,” Himeko smiled.
Upon hearing this conversation, both Eden and the viewers in the live stream felt a pang of anxiety.
They knew that what followed was likely to be Himeko and Kiana's farewell.
...It wasn't just Kiana who was reluctant to part with it; countless players were equally heartbroken.
Before they could even say goodbye, their hearts felt like they were being gripped by something, and their breathing became heavy.
In the live stream, a large number of comments instantly disappeared.
Eden's smile gradually faded.
……
In the game, Kiana and Himeko are walking on a long, unchanging road.
"In the blink of an eye, you've grown so much... I still remember when you first enrolled, you were saying you wanted to become the strongest Valkyrie."
Himeko sighed, then feigned a soft laugh:
"To be honest, I really want to watch you all grow up, and I really want to go back and continue teaching you and training with you..."
"My time at St. Freya is also one of my most precious memories."
"The road ahead is still long, but it seems... I can no longer walk it with you."
"But remember, there are always many people around you who will support you and protect you... including me."
……
In the scene, Himeko's eloquent words, accompanied by a gentle piano melody, brought tears to the eyes of viewers.
Even Alicia puffed out her cheeks.
Eden's feelings were also incredibly complicated.
The screen was filled with comments like "tears welling up" as the comments section was filled with them.
"My journey ends here, Kiana. From here on, your journey begins."
After Himeko's gentle voice faded, a door appeared in front of them.
"After we leave that door, all of this will disappear, right?" Kiana's voice sounded a little hoarse, as if she was suppressing something.
"I don't know, but... I guess so," Himeko said, sounding somewhat sad.
"Please remember to say goodbye to everyone at St. Freya for me."
"Tell Mei that I support her choice, but she can't be so cruel to her friends next time."
"...I will," Kiana said, her voice already choked with emotion.
Eden's heart trembled slightly, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
She looked at Himeko's incredibly gentle smile and listened to those words of advice that sounded like a dying wish...
"Finally, tell yourself, Kiana..."
I will always be by your side.
Upon seeing this, Eden could no longer hold back his tears, and two streams of tears slowly slid down his cheeks.
Seeing this, Alicia quickly hugged Eden, her voice full of concern: "Ugh~ my dear Eden, don't cry, okay~"
Eden shook his head, pulled out a tissue, and wiped away his tears: "It's okay, Ellie..."
She ignored Alicia and continued tapping the game screen.
Seeing this, Alicia said with some concern, "Eden, how about we skip this part of the story?"
Eden shook his head: "No need..."
She refused to believe it, even though she already knew that Himeko's filming had ended, which was already a fait accompli.
Could this plot point possibly break her defenses?
……
In the game, Himeko's gentle voice continued to ring out.
Kiana... don't worry about it too much.
Don't be afraid to say goodbye.
Saying goodbye to the past is to move towards the future.
Kiana: "..."
She remained silent for a moment before taking a deep breath.
“I understand… Teacher Himeko… I understand everything…”
At that moment, the background music for "The Last Lesson" suddenly started playing.
Eden: "..."
The incredibly familiar music, coupled with Kiana's words trembling with suppressed sobs...
It's so touching...
The barrage also exploded instantly.
[Damn miHoYo! Playing this background music is cheating!!]
He's here! He's carrying a speaker! QAQ
[Himeko-sensei... is so kind, waaaaah...]
As a grown man, I was both laughing and crying while watching it.
[A brick got into my eye QAQ]
[The Last Lesson, this really is the last lesson... Waaaaah...]
……
In the game, Kiana suppressed her emotions for a long time, but in the end she couldn't hold back.
