Honkai, but Behind the Scenes

[It's all over]

[One-fifth of this world, the entire European continent, has become history thanks to your efforts]

[Then... that thing descended... a gigantic Honkai Beast aggregation, and countless Honkai Beasts]

[And Champollion's true identity was also revealed to everyone: the Star Whisperer generated by the information fragments of the completely collapsed aggregate monster "Napoleon"]

[You can understand her as Napoleon's last humanity, the "Monster Emperor"]

[At the last moment, Champollion decided to die together with Napoleon, who had completely collapsed.]

[And you, also successfully returned with Bianka.]

[Compatibility with Rita +20%]

"I see... Did you know Champollion was Napoleon..."

Rita sat in the chair helplessly, looking at the air in front of her.

"And you didn't say anything at all..."

"Because it's not really my place to say, and considering the rules, isn't the outcome still good?"

Tian Shi's words left Rita speechless.

Rita could only complain half-heartedly and looked at Bianka, who was still asleep in bed:

"Lady Bianka is sleeping soundly. It seems there's no need for therapeutic injections."

"After all, I was here. Although it was only ten seconds, with my reinforcement, Bianka completely made up for the damage to her body caused by the sacred sword's enormous power. Now, at most, she just overexerted herself."

"Woosh~"

As soon as Tian Shi finished speaking, Bianka let out a snort and opened her eyes, confused.

"Rita?"

"Good morning, Lady Bianka."

"Oh..."

Bianka took a deep breath and quickly recovered.

"Rita, now the battlefield..."

"We've already achieved victory."

Rita replied, and at the same time, she told Bianka what had happened on the battlefield.

"No wonder Miss Champollion doesn't seem like an archaeologist at all."

After listening to it, Bianka didn't show much surprise, just a little excitement on her face.

"So, what do you need me to do next?"

"Although the battle is over, there are still many Honkai Crystals on the battlefield. We need to check their stability. If you don't mind..."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Bianka hurriedly got out of bed.

Our Miss Knight really can't stop for a moment.

[In the tunnel, you encountered Rowland on her way back.]

[However, you realized that the other person was not the real Rowland, but a body that was occupied by Honkai.]

[You told Bianka and Rita, and they believed you without hesitation.]

[With your help, after a crushing battle, the existence called "The Child" that eroded Rowland was completely expelled before it could grow.]

[Afterwards, Schrödinger and Shigure Kira arrived late.]

[They are grateful that you saw through The Child, but Schrödinger also brought bad news: the world is about to be destroyed.]

[The Child secretly usurped the position of "God" in this world through the power of the anchor point, so after The Child's death, the world will inevitably head towards destruction.]

[Facing this situation, Schrödinger proposed a bold plan: for Bianka to invert the world bubble.]

[To put it more clearly, it's about replacing the "God" position that became vacant after The Child's death.]

[If successful, as long as Bianka remains alive, this world bubble will never be destroyed and will also provide Bianka with a large amount of Honkai energy and other powers.]

[There's no need to weigh the pros and cons: Bianka has left too many ties in this world.]

[Therefore, Bianka immediately accepted the plan.]

"Are you ready?"

Schrödinger calmly looked at Bianka, who was holding the sacred sword.

"Everything is ready."

Bianka showed no fear at the upcoming experiment.

"Very good... I've made all the preparations. Then, Miss Bianka, begin to communicate with the power of the anchor point, using Durandal."

"Understood... Xiao Du."

"Leave it to me!" The power of the sacred sword reappeared.

"Won't it be dangerous?"

"Theoretically, not at all"

Schrödinger gently replied to Rita's concerns.

"This isn't a very large bubble. If classified by size, it would probably be micro to small, so Miss Bianka and Durandal have to work together to achieve it."

Since Schrödinger dared to propose the plan, she must have been confident.

At the same time, under the resonance of the force, golden armor covered Bianka's small body.

And the space behind Bianka also distorted, faintly producing a black-hole-like scene.

"That's the event horizon... black holes are one way to create it."

Schrödinger explained.

"It seems that Durandal knows what I mean by 'inversion'. It's about reverting the entire world to a point in another world... Rita, prepare to return; use the item called 'Genius Load' that Schicksal has prepared for you."

Schrödinger smiled at the scene in front of her.

"Well... it's probably time to say goodbye to you."

Tian Shi smiled as he looked at Bianka, who was wholeheartedly performing the inversion in front of him.

"It seems that the story of the hero defeating the demon king has come to an end."

"Sir Guardian Angel?!"

Rita was startled.

"Don't worry... Don't let Bianka hear it. After all, she needs to concentrate. I'm saying this now because I'm worried I won't have a chance to say it later. After all, I need to say goodbye, no matter what, right?"

Tian Shi smiled slightly.

"Didn't the play end well this time? As part of the backstage crew, I can take a break. Miss Rita, please behave like a maid and hold onto the Genius Load tightly. I don't want to see any mistakes in the last scene."

"Understood."

Rita took a deep breath, the hand holding the Genius Load already sweating for a while.

"Please witness, Sir Guardian Angel, witness the end of our journey."

"Tian..."

Bianka seemed to realize something and opened her eyes with difficulty, looking at the air around Rita.

"Goodbye."

Tian Shi never expected Bianka to hear his and Rita's whispers.

"Until next time, Miss Bianka."

Tian Shi's reply made Bianka smile.

"Now, prepare yourselves!"

Schrödinger suddenly said.

"The inversion is coming to an end: I, you, Bianka, and Kira will be expelled from the world bubble by then!"

"Alright—!"

Miss Rita had a dream.

Probably from a very, very, very long time ago.

No, maybe not that long?

After all, she's only 22 years old, why does she need to use three "very"s to describe time?

However, in feeling, it truly seemed like a very long time had passed.

Memories like bubbles began to settle in Rita's mind.

That was... in 2012. It was only five years ago. 2012... what happened then?

After a brief moment of confusion, Rita remembered.

She seemed to have carried out a certain mission with Lady Bianka... but she couldn't remember what had happened at all.

According to Lady Bianka, during the evacuation, some minor accidents occurred that made her lose her memory of that moment.

It seemed to be something very precious.

She was depressed for a long time by this incident.

Although Lady Bianka told her about it, she couldn't remember it at all because she didn't feel it was real.

It was as if she had sealed that part of her memory.

So, what is the dream now?

Looking at the two girls in front of her, Rita realized she was "dreaming," but she had no intention of waking up.

She realized it was a memory she had forgotten; no, deliberately sealed.

The story of two girls, along with their Guardian Angel, embarked on an adventurous journey, made friends along the way, and finally defeated the demon king.

Hunting sea monsters.

Encountering the Captain.

Collecting gems.

That's right, each of these things are her own memories.

It's the story of her, Lady Bianka, and the Guardian Angel, Sir Tian Shi. So, five years ago, did she know that Tian Shi?

Everything was like a fast-forward, and the memories, once forgotten, reappeared before her eyes one by one.

Ah, so she was so bold at that time?

If this wasn't a dream, Rita felt her face must be burning.

And Sir Ghost's birthday present...

Who would give a little girl a figure with bigger breasts than her own?

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

He even mentioned something about blessings for the future...

Truly, Tian Shi's personality is really...

However, if you ignore the breasts, this hand-carved figure is a romantic gift.

But Rita! Why is your face red?

How could he buy you a mere figure!?

No, let's not talk about that for now... What the hell is that bet?!

Will her breasts reach that size in five years?

What kind of stupid bet is this! Rita, what are you thinking?

Do you dare to make such a bet?

Do you rely too much on your development potential, or do you have no confidence at all?

And the bet is the number of wishes?

Was there something wrong with her brain back then?

No, actually, if she thought about it carefully, it seemed she understood herself at that moment.

That figure couldn't be carved just by carving it.

Although it doesn't seem very serious, Rita, who has more life experience, could naturally see that this seemingly unserious figure could be called a masterpiece in terms of craftsmanship.

That realistic appearance, expression, and movements are definitely not something ordinary people can achieve.

In addition to a master's own skills, extraordinary observation skills are also required.

In other words, Tian Shi had actually been secretly observing her for a long time back then?

In fact, at the very beginning, could it be considered Tian Shi's confession to her?

Thinking of this, although Rita knew she was deceiving herself, she couldn't help but feel much better.

After all, this is much better than a supposed innocent girl being tricked by someone...

Ah... Probably that's how the seeds of affection began to form in me?

Rita expressed her understanding of her past self, then put her hand on her chest and looked at the figure in her hand in the dream.

"..."

The size can't be said to be exactly the same, it can be said there are no differences.

Why did they set the agreement at five years?

Well, it's because numbers like five and ten are easier to remember, but obviously ten years is too long, so I chose five years at that time.

Rita already covered her face, because she could completely understand herself five years ago, so Rita felt even more embarrassed and thought she was very stupid at that time.

This is like digging a hole and then jumping into it! Tian Shi did nothing, just lie down and win!

Increasing the number of wishes by one or something...

I guess he wouldn't ask you to do anything too excessive...

But he's a ghost, there are some things he can't do, right?

It should have been a relief, but Rita felt inexplicably disappointed.

"Rita, you're a lady, how can you think such a thing?"

Rita secretly reprimanded herself, but at the same time, the adventure in the dream hadn't ended yet.

Fortunately, the rest of the adventure went smoothly, and nothing that would raise Rita's blood pressure happened; at least that was the case until she met Xiao Du.

When the dream scene turned into a play where Shakespeare played three roles, Rita covered her face again while watching Shakespeare sing the roles.

She remembered.

This dream managed to awaken some of her memories.

But Rita's mood has changed a lot...

Now, observing the scene of her and Schrödinger being jealous of each other, Rita's slightly flushed face now only had a faint smile.

She already knew what would happen next, and she and Dr. Schrödinger probably parted on bad terms.

But it was all thanks to Lady Bianka, otherwise this matter would have been difficult to resolve.

Oh, how I envy Lady Bianka back then.

She didn't care about anything and just divided the apple equally.

Although Lady Bianka obviously didn't understand the meaning of this, her decision was still admirable.

Sure enough, after Bianka distributed the apples, she and Schrödinger exchanged a few words and then took the apples they had received and left.

However, what surprised Rita was that, although she had left, the scene in front of her unexpectedly didn't change with her perspective.

Instead, it stayed in that room.

"Eh?" Rita felt as if she had realized something.

"But, Sir Guardian Angel, who do you think Prince Paris in the myth should give the golden apple to?"

Seeing Bianka in the dream hesitantly asking this question, Rita realized that something was wrong.

She remembered more things.

It seems Lady Bianka also...

No, at that time she only thought that Lady Bianka's admiration turned into love later, so she could still understand her.

She even supported him at that time, and although it's not pleasant to say, Rita felt that, in terms of feelings, she would never lose to Lady Bianka.

Besides, Lady Bianka was still very young at that time, and the so-called liking might not have been true love.

But looking at it now, it seems that Lady Bianka at that moment really started to have feelings for Tian Shi?

And she took advantage of the situation?
