Creating Happiness with Heart in Honkai

The three most commonly asked questions in philosophy should be 'Who am I, where am I, and what should I do?'.

For Kevin, the first question has a very clear definition, which is to be an Avenger of the Honkai.

But for the latter two questions, the current Kevin is momentarily confused.

The game, Getting Over It, is very mind-boggling. But for Kevin, who has even shed blood and tears, the problem is not significant.

There has been progress in the means to fighting the Honkai, which is also very good news, and when news of the updates from the Elysian Realm arrived, Kevin's mind was not really unhappy.

It's just that too much information is brought by Su.

Based on Kevin's understanding of Su, Su generally doesn't lie, but these pieces of information are too far-fetched, and Kevin has a very unreal feeling about them.

So Kevin urgently wants to have a conversation with Su, definitely not because of the matter of Getting Over It.

When Kevin thought his dream had once again formed a new Bubble World, and he himself had entered the Bubble World, he opened his eyes to see a pitch-black cave.

Actually, this is nothing. Kevin is not afraid of unfamiliar places, after all, all fears come from insufficient firepower.

Even if he didn't have Shamash in his hand, Kevin could still tear apart the Honkai Beasts and eat them like shredded beef.

But after arriving at the cave, Kevin saw a figure covered in black all over, who handed him a golden paper.

Kevin had no idea who the other party was, as if the other party didn't exist there at all, just a projection.

But the paper did end up in Kevin's hands.

In this dim cave, illuminated by the faint glow of fluorescent paint, after seeing the contents on it, Kevin was once again lost.

[Bring laughter to everyone participating in the activity.]

Participating in the activity?

Who?

How many people?

Why would it be laughter?

Looking at a small clown mask-like stamp in the corner of the paper, Kevin judged that this might be the Aeon, The Elation mentioned in the information Su brought.

Why would a high and mighty Aeon cast his gaze here?

Observing the surroundings again, Kevin felt that the style of this maze was very familiar. Since he didn't know how to find the others, it would be better to lower his aggressiveness a bit, and then wait a bit for the others.

Changing into a swimsuit, Kevin wandered around the maze for a long time, picked up a pair of star sunglasses to wear on his face, and saw a water gun that looked very familiar.

It seems that this water gun is a peripheral product from some anime of the previous civilization. If it's from Kosmo, he should be very interested...

Let's take it for now.

Seeing the mysterious person provide him with a perfectly fitting outfit, Kevin had a premonition that this so-called activity might take place at the beach.

As for why he was in a cave, it's very likely that Vill-V wanted to give everyone a surprise.

This is quite in line with Kevin's inherent impression of Vill-V. Afterwards, Kevin randomly found a room to sit down, quietly thinking about what he should do next.

Usually, sitting on a chair to think wouldn't be a big problem, even if his body temperature dropped and froze everything around him, he wouldn't get stuck because of the freezing.

But...

Unfortunately, he did get stuck!

A mysterious force stuck Kevin in place. If he got up without a care, his swimsuit would leave him forever, forever stuck to this frozen seat and making him show his body to the world for the first time since forever.

By then, the unseemly scene would surely lead to his complete social death.

Although Kevin has been out of society for many years, he still feels that he needs to pay attention to his image.

After all, if seen by the people from the World Serpent, at the very least, he would be labeled as a deviant, and surely undergo a wave of criticism, saying that the Lord is just a strange man who likes to expose his body, making it impossible to defeat the Honkai.

With such a wave of criticism, would Project Stigma still proceed?

So Kevin was temporarily sealed on the Frozen Throne like this.

Until Bronie's group arrived.

The lights came on.

The first person Kevin saw was Elysia.

The Elysia who once gathered the Flamechasers and made everyone remember.

Is this some kind of Bubble World?

Or did he come to the Elysian Realm?

The sensory aspects made Kevin certain that this was neither the Elysian Realm nor some Bubble World.

This made Kevin a little confused, but he remained calm as usual, with a hint of diversionary meaning in his mind.

"Su, Su said he doesn't want to come in, he felt as if he had done something wrong and couldn't face you. What exactly did he do?"

Elysia was very curious.

"..... He said I couldn't play other games if I didn't pass Getting Over It."

"Hahaha!"

Elysia couldn't help but laugh.

In Elysian Realm, the memory version of Kevin recommended Getting Over It to the memory version of Su, and after the fusion of the memory replica and the real-world Su, he recommended this game to the real Kevin.

The enmity between the two sides is far from over.

And what about Bronie?

Bronie was feeling guilty, even letting Bronya stand in front while she hid in the shadows of the corridor.

"Alright, Kevin, let's put the game aside for now. Aren't you worried about catching a cold? Sitting on an ice block in a swimsuit is very dangerous."

"Me? Catch a cold?"

It sounded as if he was saying an ice block could catch a cold, but unfortunately, Kevin couldn't laugh, so he just remained silent.

Why silent?

Because in front of Elysia, it was even more impossible to come down from the Frozen Throne.

If he stood up carelessly, his clothes would be gone, and if his clothes were gone, Elysia would see!

"Okay! Stop being stubborn and get up~"

"Stuck..."

Finally, Kevin said it.

Rather than having his clothes damaged, seeking help was a better choice.

"Huh?" Pardo still didn't react.

"Clothes, skin, all stuck..."

"Is this the legendary most powerful MANTIS, the first among the Flamechasers? Bronya never thought she would meet him under such circumstances..."

Bronya was speechless, then had Project Bunny open the afternoon tea module and started boiling water.

"Here, hot water..."

"Thanks! Bronya~"

"Bronya? Are there other people on this island?"

Kevin saw Elysia take the kettle from Project Bunny's hands and felt a little nervous.

"Yes, Bronie brought all the children from her orphanage out for a trip, ran into a storm, and then ran into us. Oh right, Kevin, do you know Haxxor Bunny? Or did The Elation bring you here and your memories haven't synchronized?"

The only one Elysia could think of who could bring himself into this world was The Elation, and Kevin could only come here if the Aeon could.

"Synchronized..."

Although he didn't want to admit it, seeing Elysia's face, Kevin was really unwilling to deceive her.

He indeed received his memories from his memory replica.

In the memory, Kevin also kept a certain distance from Bronie.

Elysia really liked Bronie, and everyone watched Bronie grow up little by little.

Although she was so young at the time, she made such excellent games, and to this day, she is still continuously producing games at a very high rate.

In the Elysian Realm, Kevin still envied and admired her a little.

If it weren't for the Honkai, Kevin thought he might have become a nine-to-five corporate drone, but if he had more choices, he would prefer to be a programmer in a game company he liked.

Although the Kevin in real life has firmly believed in fighting the Honkai, the Kevin in the Elysian Realm had more time to think about his life and the meaning of his existence as a memory.

Guarding, that's the answer of the memory Kevin.

Elysia once showed everything about herself to everyone, while the memory Kevin hoped to quietly guard the beauty of Elysia in the Elysian Realm.

After all, in reality, he couldn't do anything and had no ability to do anything anymore.

But now, Elysia appeared in front of him again, and the memory and reality collided with each other. For a while, Kevin found it difficult to determine what kind of face to show to Elysia.

But even so, when facing Elysia, Kevin found it hard to tell lies in front of her.

"Oh~ Welcome back, Kevin~ Will hot water hurt you?"

"A mere hundred degrees, less than a thousandth of the temperature of Judgement of Shamash, go on."

With Kevin saying so, Elysia didn't hesitate either.

"Thanks...so what's the situation now?"

"How much do you know about the Resurrection Plan, Kevin?"

"...who formulated this plan while simultaneously fighting the Honkai?"

Hearing Kevin's questions, Elysia subconsciously looked at Bronie hiding at the end of the team in the dark.

"Cough, strictly speaking, this activity was not planned by me. It was called a reward by The Elation, and I made a game called Persona. But now, it's almost the same as resurrection, which means it's a rare opportunity. As for fighting the Honkai, I will give you an answer in the upcoming eruption in Nagazora."

"The Honkai is not so easy to solve."

Kevin warned again. Having faced the Honkai directly, Kevin's words naturally carried the most weight.

Looking at Bronie who was still very young, although she had grown up and her memories matched those of the memory,

Kevin believed that even if she faced Finality, she would probably suffer if she encountered some Herrscher with special powers.

The things Bronie projected tended to be fragile, and even if those powerful weapons could be truly reproduced, what would be the use?

Herrscher and the Honkai would only become stronger.

"Yes, yes, I know the Honkai isn't that easy to solve. If you think it's unreliable, then just continue with your Project Stigma. After all, in the end, as a test, you still have to fight us."

"You know, I know. Then the current situation is that the Aeon brought us here without any other intention, it's just to gather us together to enjoy the holiday we planned. But I don't know what other benefits we can get from this activity."

"Mobius and Vill-V won't miss this opportunity, but who planned this activity? Clearly, it has Vill-V's style, and the broadcast voice is also Vill-V's."

Kevin always believed in the abilities of those two scientists, but there were too many confusing things happening in front of him, and Kevin couldn't figure out the situation.

If it were an illusion, Kevin would have broken through it long ago, but unfortunately, Kevin couldn't distinguish tbetween truth and falsehood in front of him.

In uncertain situations, Kevin didn't dare to flip the table.

"It's possible that Vill-V planned it before. The maze, traps, and some game rules are all things Vill-V likes. She said she wanted to design a maze that would definitely surprise me before, and now it seems that maybe this is it?"

"Well, let's just enjoy ourselves now. Experiments and such are not things we can accomplish anyway, right? But speaking of which, Kevin, how long have you been sitting there? And who turned you into this?"

Elysia interrupted the topic, seeming to think that who designed the maze was not important, what mattered was that someone could successfully pass it and enjoy the game.

Hearing Elysia's question, Kevin looked a little embarrassed.

How to tell if someone is embarrassed from a cold face?

This kind of thing, only those who are familiar enough with Kevin would know.

Bronie could guess that Kevin would be embarrassed, and Elysia observed it.

"I sat down voluntarily."

Kevin still told the truth.

"Huh? Why?"

"Because I thought, maybe it would... be cool~"

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the whole underground space became cold.

Bronya was shocked by the lame joke made by the strongest MANTIS.

It's not that the joke wasn't funny, it's the person who told the joke.

It's just hard to imagine, someone who usually looks so cold would think of telling a joke today.

Instead of being afraid or puzzled like the others, Elysia found something very interesting and quickly approached Kevin.

"Wow, today's Kevin has a different sense of humor~"

Seeing Kevin confidently crossing his arms, Pardo's brain directly crashed.

"It's nothing, just afraid everyone would catch a cold, so I wanted to warm up the atmosphere."

Another cold wind blew past.

"Hahaha, unfortunately Su didn't come to see this scene. Otherwise, he would definitely widen his eyes to judge whether you're real or not." Bronie couldn't help but laugh at Kevin.

"Isn't this worse! Boss Kevin, if you get kidnapped by the Aeon, just blink, we will find a way to rescue you!"

Cat was so enthusiastic, but Kevin closed his eyes and felt helpless.

"Still not working... My joke, isn't it funny? ...Sorry, I rarely come into contact with this kind of thing, so I can only think of something interesting to myself..." As he spoke, Kevin took out a piece of paper.

"It's a challenge! So that's it, bringing laughter to everyone participating in the activity... Wait what?!"

This really put Kevin in a dilemma, let alone being on this deserted island, everyone was trapped on the island and didn't know how to leave.

The power of the Aeon enveloped the island, and even Bronie's projected drones would be shot down directly.

How to leave, this was indeed a troubling question, after all, even if it was an island, there would always be a day when supplies ran out.

"Kevin, you haven't changed at all in these times."

"No, Fu Hua, both you and I have changed, but here, I can choose not to change."

Suddenly, the atmosphere became serious again.

Bronie knew that whenever Fu Hua and Kevin met, it would never be a good thing.

Isn't it just looking for a knife to stab oneself when there's nothing else to do!

"Alright, alright, there will always be a day when the game is completed. No matter how powerful the Aeon is, fundamentally, it doesn't want us dead. There must be a way to leave the island. I'll just complete the game to show you! So relax and enjoy the holiday, okay!"
