Chapter 52 - Chapter 52 - Miss Raven, This Truly is a Sad Story

"It's possible, but would you mind? Didn't you say before to let things happen naturally?" Su Luo asked.

"Hmm... I think we did agree on that before." Kiana remembered their previous agreement and scratched her cheek.

She had finally come up with a good idea, but it seemed it couldn't be implemented.

At this moment, Himeko, who was beside them, spoke up.

"The popularity of Honkai Impact 3rd has far exceeded our imaginations. It's possible that one day, our situation will be suddenly exposed due to an accident."

Himeko voiced her thoughts, "I think it would be better for us to choose a suitable opportunity to proactively reveal ourselves."

Compared to being passively exposed due to some accident, she personally preferred to take the initiative and keep the development of the situation in her own hands.

"Himeko, your point is valid."

Su Luo nodded, then looked at everyone. "What do you all think?"

Seeing this, the girls also voiced their own thoughts.

"I don't mind either way," someone expressed indifference.

"I'm not interested in live streaming, but Himeko's words make sense," someone else indicated, as long as they weren't dragged into a live stream.

"Hmph, looks like it's my time to shine," yet another person said, full of enthusiasm.

The girls' words weren't all the same, but...

"It seems you've reached a consensus."

Su Luo summarized, then also became interested.

He was just about to discuss with them who would do a live stream when Honkai Impact 3rd updated to Chapter 14 of the main story in a while.

Suddenly, a voice called out from outside.

"Hello! Is anyone there?"

"Su Luo? Su Luo?"

"..."

"I almost forgot!" Su Luo remembered about Raven. "I also made an appointment with Little Island... Miss Cioara."

"Su Luo, you have an appointment? Could it be another new character you've scouted?"

The girls were already very familiar with Su Luo's quirk; he liked to use real people as models for game characters. Some who thought a bit more deeply had even noticed some anomalies.

However, they and Su Luo had a tacit understanding and wouldn't speak of it.

Just as Rita had said before.

Everyone has their own secrets.

Unless it was absolutely necessary to get to the bottom of things, they wouldn't proactively investigate.

Of course, the most important thing was that after spending this period together, they were willing to trust Su Luo.

"Yes, but she might not agree easily, so I might need your cooperation."

"Understood!" *N

...

Raven, who was walking into miHoYo's office, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

She looked around suspiciously.

She could see many messy traces on the workstations, clearly indicating that people had been busy there just moments ago.

She just didn't know what had happened for them all to suddenly leave.

"Excuse me! Is anyone here!?" Raven tentatively called towards the interior of miHoYo.

"Someone's here! Someone's here!"

Kiana hurriedly ran out from inside and grabbed Raven's arm. "You must be Miss Cioara, right? We've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Hmm?" Raven blinked. This white-haired girl looked a bit familiar?

Bronya and Mei ran out and pulled Kiana away from Raven's side.

Both simultaneously put a finger to their lips. "Shh~~ Kiana, calm down, don't speak carelessly, or you'll scare her away."

"Oh, oh, oh." Paramecium nodded.

Raven observed the three of them carefully and gradually noticed the problem. "Aren't you Kiana and Mei?"

Because she was coming to miHoYo for an exchange, she had carefully studied Honkai Impact 3rd beforehand and was thoroughly familiar with all its various settings.

Her body trembled. "Could it be! Our world is actually a World Bubble?"

Kiana & Mei & Bronya: ???

"Mei, the guest seems even more... than me," Kiana trailed off, stopping short of finishing her sentence.

"Kiana, don't be so direct. The guest might just be... having a chuunibyou episode," Bronya said softly.

"Oh, I see." Paramecium completely understood.

Raven: ...

Did these people think she didn't exist?

However, she also understood that her imagination had indeed run wild just now.

She let out a light breath. "Whew~~ So, what exactly is the situation?"

"We are employees of miHoYo. For certain reasons, we designed game characters based on ourselves. You'll see Himeko and the others later."

Mei explained to Raven, "I'm not a Valkyrie, just an ordinary miHoYo artist."

"I'm a programmer at miHoYo," Bronya said.

It was Kiana's turn. She proudly puffed out her chest and said, "I'm miHoYo's scriptwriter!"

"What!? You're miHoYo's scriptwriter? Get my knife..."

"I'm miHoYo's number two scriptwriter~~" Kiana quickly distanced herself. "The main story plot has nothing to do with me!"

"Oh, right. I remember miHoYo's scriptwriter is the boss of miHoYo," Raven realized.

"..."

As the girls chatted, Su Luo also came out with the others.

He looked behind Raven. "Didn't you say many people came? Why are you the only one?"

"I asked them to wait for me outside first."

Raven paused, her gaze sweeping across the faces of everyone at miHoYo. "I'm a little hesitant to call them in now. It might get very noisy later."

"It's fine. After all, miHoYo is usually very noisy too." Su Luo was very calm, not worried at all.

As if miHoYo was usually quiet.

Raven probably didn't know what wondrous chemical reactions would occur when Paramecium, the Rice Cooker, the Blank Goose... and Miss Elf, who occasionally dropped by, so many diverse personalities gathered together.

It could be said that if he ever saw miHoYo in complete silence, that would be truly surprising.

He'd be suspicious, wondering if a Honkai Eruption was imminent tomorrow and Kiana and the others were about to become Herrschers.

"Then I'll go call them in..."

"I'll go with you."

Su Luo followed Raven outside.

A young woman with pale purple hair, probably in her early twenties, was the most conspicuous, surrounded by a group of people.

"Everyone, don't speak carelessly later, especially don't mention Teacher's incident."

"That incident?"

"It's just... after the game was finally developed and launched, just when Raven Studio was about to achieve great things, it turned out..."

The pale purple-haired girl's voice turned sorrowful. "We encountered the sudden emergence of Honkai Impact 3rd, and our game's mechanics were unluckily too similar to Honkai Impact 3rd's, causing our game to flop."

"Have you all forgotten how Teacher looked at that time?"

"Her face was expressionless, she was silent, yet she kept pacing back and forth in her room, running, rolling around... muttering 'It's fine, it's fine,' while large teardrops streamed down her face."

Raven and Su Luo stood at miHoYo's entrance, listening from afar, as the pale purple-haired girl's narration reached its end.

"Finally, Teacher couldn't hold it in anymore and rushed out, wailing towards the distant sky, heartbroken like a child..."

Raven & Su Luo: "..."
