Honkai Impact 3rd: Catching the Herrscher of Sentience at the Start

Fairy Ellie spread her hands, a little helpless, but still let Mei give it a try. She said, "That's a bit difficult. Instead of explaining, it's probably faster to try it yourself. Here, type out your question."

Mei, "Tell me the truth about the Thirteenth Herrscher."

Elysia teased, "Oh my, Mei, you really don't beat around the bush."

The typewriter roared to life and ran for a long time, but in the end, it only spat out a single sheet of paper. Mei took it, raising an eyebrow.

Fu Lin, however, already knew the paper was blank. But she still leaned in curiously—just for the sake of feeling included.

-------------------------

"White paper?"

The fairy Ellie hurriedly explained the principle of the typewriter, placing her hands on her hips and saying,

"Because for such a vague question, it's really impossible to find a single document or even a few documents in the memory bank to summarize it."

"To give you an accurate answer, I'd probably have to print out Elysia's entire life! But you wouldn't be able to finish reading all that, would you?"

"This typewriter can only narrate specific 'facts'—never forget that."

Hearing the fairy Ellie's explanation, Mei understood the limitations of the typewriter. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then... let's start with Elysia's 'past.'"

The fairy Ellie clapped her hands and said, "That's easy! Just have her place her hand on the typewriter's keyboard..."

Elysia activated the typewriter, then suddenly realized something and ushered Fu Lin out of the room, saying,

"Just like this... My dear Fu Lin, could you step out for a bit? Of course, it's not like I'm excluding you~"

"It's just that I can't control what the typewriter prints out. If something embarrassing appears and you see it, I'd be so ashamed~"

"If you're bored, you can take a stroll somewhere else. Mei and I will come find you once we're done~"

Bang!

With the sound of a heavy door closing, Fu Lin's mouth twitched. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and whistled as he walked away, "Since Elysia said so, I might as well take a walk elsewhere."

"Besides, I could use some personal time. Being locked up by Kiana these past few days has been driving me crazy."

...

Elysia stuck out her tongue at the puzzled Mei, then picked up the printed document and handed it to her, saying:

"Alright, Mei, let's begin. Let's see what kind of memories we have here."

"Mei, make sure to read carefully. After all... this is my 'story.'"

Mei took the document and looked at the contents recorded on the paper. "Alright..."

"Good morning! A new day starts with a wonderful encounter! Remember to weigh yourself first thing after waking up~"

Elysia, "Mmm..."

The alarm clock was silenced with the press of a button. The girl sat up in bed and stretched comfortably.

Elysia, "Mmm~~ A new day, new wonders. Go, Elysia!"

"Time to get up. Weigh myself before getting dressed... Alright, delete the record."

At that moment, a knock sounded on the door, followed by its opening. A mysterious man stepped into the room, glancing at Elysia, who was deleting the record, and let out a chuckle.

Mysterious Man, "Heh, Elysia, you're deceiving yourself again."

Elysia covered herself, her face flushed. "Hey! How can you just barge into a beautiful girl's room? I haven't even dressed yet!"

The mysterious man leaned against the doorframe and spread his hands. "I did knock, and besides, aren't you still wearing your pajamas...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Elysia grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it at him. Seeing this, the mysterious man quickly exited the room.

Elysia covered her face in frustration. "Ahhh! So annoying!"

...

Elysia: "Check the mirror before going out..."

She adjusted her bangs and smiled at her reflection. "Outfit, check. Bangs, check. Smile, check. Yep! Another exquisite and dazzling day ahead."

Mei furrowed her brows as she read the mysterious man's actions and words in the document.

"Elysia, is this mysterious man your lover...?" Aside from being a lover, she couldn't think of any other identity that would allow a man to freely enter and exit a girl's room.

Elysia placed her hands behind her back and smiled at Mei. "Hmm~ If I told you, it wouldn't be fun anymore. You'll have to investigate little by little yourself."

"Keep reading, maybe you'll find out something."

"I hope so." Mei took a deep breath and continued reading the record...
