Honkai, the behind-the-scenes simulator

[But even at the highest price, you rarely give your paintings to others. 】

[As of now, Teresa is the only exception. 】

[Eden made a bet with you before, relying on the peak art of her life, let you teach her your paintings convincingly. 】

[Obviously, this is the time when the bet between you two is really played out. 】

[You will naturally not be absent from this performance, or you are looking forward to it. 】

【——Even so, you can still detect something different from the past in the communication with Eden. 】

【She seemed to be a little confused in her heart. 】

【When you asked her, Eden didn't hide his thoughts, but frankly stated to you. 】

【The reason for this confusion is...】

【Collapse. 】

[Nowadays, on a global scale, collapse events, large and small, are intensifying. 】

[It can be said that it is extremely difficult to completely control it with the existing power of human beings alone. 】

[The members of "Masquerade Ball" basically have the ability to deal with the Honkai incident that is not too large on their own, but there are too few people. 】

[As for Flame Chasing Moth, the current Fusion Warrior project is still in pursuit of perfection, and it seems unrealistic to carry it out on a large scale in a short period of time. 】

[In this case, the wounds caused by the collapse continue to appear on the surface of the entire human civilization. 】

【So, now that the collapse is so raging...】

【"At this time, I continue to praise the brilliance and beauty of civilization, can it really be called correct?"】

[Eden, who was confused, asked such a question. 】

【"If the situation continues to deteriorate, should I really continue to pursue art?"】

[Eden is a musician who pursues brilliance and brilliance, and is the most outstanding artist that can only be bred out of the most prosperous civilization. 】

[Therefore, when the brilliance she loves is gradually destroyed, she will question her art. 】

[Or, as for my own art, which was born based on prosperity, should it continue to exist. 】

[You confessed your opinion to Eden without any concealment. 】

[Or, it is the concept of life that you have always adhered to. 】

【For human beings, death is not terrible. What is really terrible is that because of the fear of death, they become strangers to themselves. 】

[Similarly, for human civilization, destruction is not terrible, the most terrible thing is to become unrecognizable in order to avoid destruction. 】

[Therefore, even in the face of the threat of death, you still have to show a proud and open-minded smile. 】

[Even a civilization that is in danger or even on the verge of destruction still needs someone to sing loudly. 】

[Eden finds it hard to agree with your answer. 】

【Because from your answer, she can feel the meaningless attitude towards death and destruction that always permeates. 】

[However, for Eden, civilization is the real carrier of art. 】

[She just uses her singing to show the beauty and brilliance of this civilization. 】

[If even civilization is shattered, then there will be no real art. 】

[She hopes that this world can be as bright as gold, and that civilization can shine forever. 】

【She hopes to keep this civilization going as long as possible.At the very least, it should be on the side of those who are constantly fighting to continue this civilization. 】

[You cannot agree with each other's ideas. 】

[After realizing this, both you and Eden feel quite lost. 】

[You are confidantes in art, you can always detect the emotion contained in Eden's singing, and Eden is also very fond of the rich and intense beauty in your paintings. 】

[However, in terms of attitude towards art, there are differences between you and Eden. 】

[When the field of reality is not involved, differences in art are actually extremely normal. 】

【And when you, who have differences in art, start to use your own ideas to consider more realistic issues...】

[The differences in art began to gradually turn into a little estrangement. 】

[You all realize that the other party seems to have chosen a completely different path from your own. 】

[You feel quite sorry for this. 】

[You suddenly realize that the next concert may already be Eden's last concert to tell the whole civilization about its brilliance and brilliance. 】

【You promise Eden that you will be invited to attend her upcoming concert in Australia, even if you are busy with work. 】

【Eden is also very happy about this. 】

[She tells you that she is looking forward to impressing you with her art at its peak, and then witnessing the paintings you create for her. 】

[Even if you will eventually go on different paths, you will still be friends no matter when. 】

[This point will never change in the slightest. 】

【With unspeakable emotions in your heart, you walked into your studio and looked at your past paintings preserved here. 】

[All the works you have accumulated in the past, except for the paintings you gave to Teresa, are basically here. 】

[This also includes the works you drew based on the photos shared with you by Seele. 】

[The picture of the confrontation with the Sixth Herrscher emerged in your mind, and you used your spare time to redraw it. 】

[Slightly in a trance, gradually appearing with the strokes are two girls who look like twins. 】

[Short dark blue hair, blue-purple eyes, slightly weak and pure demeanor, a girl who smiles gently like an angel. 】

[And the Sixth Herrscher with black short hair with red highlights and madness in his red eyes. 】

[You stare at the painting and remain silent. 】

[In the "masquerade party" you lead, there are now a total of twelve "saints". 】

[The total number of "saints" should have increased to thirteen when Seele officially awakened his power and became a full member. 】

[But with Seele gone, it's no longer necessary. 】

[From now on, the structure of the "Masquerade Ball" will only have twelve saints, and there is no need to increase their positions in the future. 】

[You put the painting in its proper place, and then put the broken camera aside. 】

【Then, looking at the paintings preserved here, I hesitated whether I should draw works about Teresa based on my own impression. 】

[After all, the saints who are now affiliated with the "Masquerade Ball", including Seele, have their own paintings here. 】

[Only Teresa, all her paintings are now in her own hands. 】

[However, after you thought about it, you finally gave up. 】

[As I said, wait until the land finally ushers in peace, and then draw the works for her at that time. 】

[Teresa is now officially standing in front of the gate of the third stage, and the gate is opening. 】

[With her like this, it's hard not to be shaken in her will. 】

[When the third stage is officially entered, unless it is her own choice, even if it is a big collapse, it will be difficult to really threaten her life. 】

[Seele can temporarily block Herrscher's transformation with her own light, so Teresa who has really reached the third stage must be able to do more things. 】

【This time, you don't have to worry about not being able to fulfill your agreement with her. 】

【You sighed and continued with what you needed to accomplish. 】

[You found Qianjie who came back here for a rest, chat with him. 】

[Qianjie seems to be very impatient with your interruption, but he still didn't drive you out. 】

[You chat with him, trying to learn about his past and the secrets that are different from ordinary humans. 】

[In fact, Qiankalpa itself exhibits very significant characteristics different from ordinary people. 】

[Even facing Herrscher of Ice, Qianjie was able to fight the opponent, and persisted for quite a long time. 】

[If it wasn't for the limitation of his own flesh and blood, facing the ultra-low temperature state would inevitably lead to the accumulation of negative effects, then he might not have the possibility of winning. 】

[No matter from what point of view, Qian Jie can be proud of this, but he seems to regard this incident as his own shame. 】

[Being able to fight head-on with Herrscher, considering his combat power, he doesn't look like a normal human being either. 】

[You know, except for the time when Seele turned into the Sixth Herrscher this time, no matter whether it is the Masquerade Party or the Flame Chasing Moth, when facing the Herrscher, there are very few real frontal battles. 】

[More often, it uses a form similar to "assassination". 】

【Not to mention facing the Herrscher, even when facing the Honkai Beast, the strategy chosen most of the time will not be a direct confrontation. 】

[The rare frontal combat is more for long-range sniping to contain the enemy and attract the enemy's attention. 】

[Qianjie's performance at the beginning can be said to be eye-opening. 】

[That savage and rough fighting style, completely disregarding whether he will die in the next instant, even the Herrscher can't help but temporarily avoid the edge instead of directly confronting it head-on. 】

[This kind of him, compared with normal humans, is abnormal in itself. 】

[In the face of your inquiry, Qian Jie seemed to be a little hesitant and silent at first. 】

[But when he realized that you seem to be attaching great importance to this kind of thing, he still told his past. 】

[As for his origin and background, even he himself has a vague memory at present. 】

[What he can remember, except for a few things, is that he does not seem to belong to the planet under his feet, but came from outside the sky and fell to the earth. 】

[He descended in a remote village at first, and the traditional and ignorant villagers regarded him as a god because he descended from the sky, so he simply lived in that village. 】

[However, the outbreak of the Fifth Great Crash destroyed that village, and he happened to meet the Fifth Herrscher, so he fought directly with him. 】

[As for other things, such as revenge or preventing the Herrscher from destroying, he didn't think about it. 】

[You can notice that there are many ambiguities in Qianjie's words, and the emotions conveyed in the heart when talking about many things are quite complicated. 】

[His past experience must not be as light as he said. 】

[Based on his personality and bizarre origin, even if he was regarded as a god at the beginning, the days spent in that village must not always be so smooth. 】

【You realize that perhaps, he still has a lot of things that he hasn't said yet. 】

[But no matter what, at least before he took the initiative to say it, you have no intention of exploring it again. 】

[After all, the information you have obtained so far is actually completely sufficient. 】

[In this case, it is not a good habit to force others to tell the secrets in their hearts and uncover unhealed wounds to satisfy their curiosity. 】

[If you are really curious, then wait until when he doesn't care about those things and can speak out in a drunken chattering tone, then listen to him talk slowly. 】

[After telling you these things for a thousand eons, the emotions in my heart seem to be faintly tense and apprehensive that I have never had before. 】

【This makes you quite surprised, but it doesn't seem to be surprising. 】

[Qianjie always habitually rejects the surroundings, but in fact, he still instinctively dislikes and hopes to be regarded as a different kind. 】

[Even he himself may not have noticed this. 】

【You who have realized this point, tell Qianjie that no one will decide how to treat another person based on what he is, but what he is thinking and what he is going to do. 】

[What's more, today's "Masquerade Ball" itself is a collection of heterogeneous, and it will be regarded as a gang of weirdos wherever it is placed. 】

[Even if Cosmo, who is still thinking about whether he should wear his own custom-made leather case when performing combat missions, is not included in the comparison...]

[Only compared with the younger sister who is still weighing whether she should pick up and drop off her younger sister who is already a junior high school student to and from school every day, the abnormality of Qianjie is not so prominent. 】

[At least, Qianjie's actions rarely really cause any trouble to people, don't they? 】

【For your words, Qianjie’s reaction is...】

[Just tell you, get out of here. 】

【You told Qian Jie that if you want to communicate normally with people, you should have basic politeness and verbal communication skills, and you taught Qian Jie a little bit of the basic knowledge of communicating with people. 】

【then......】

【Qianjie is very polite to tell you...】

【Please go away. 】

【You stood up as he wished, and walked towards the door. 】
