Chapter 60. Mei Seems About to Grow Horns

Kiana had finally learned what a "social terrorist" was.

Elysia really dared to say anything.

Kiana opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, and then hesitated again after stopping.

What did she mean by "all Mei's girlfriends"?

That kind of weird phrasing really left her at a loss for how to respond.

She and Mei… were clearly just close friends.

"Elysia, Mei and I are just friends," Kiana explained.

"Right~~ ordinary female friends~~ I wasn't wrong, was I? Or… Kiana, did you misunderstand me~?"

Elysia's playful voice drifted over, loud enough for everyone at the miHoYo studio to hear.

Mei rubbed her temples with a headache.

She could feel her forehead throbbing faintly, like two horns were about to grow out.

Elysia: "Is that a good thing?"

Kiana once again fell silent. She really had no way of handling Elysia.

The atmosphere grew a bit strange for a moment.

Sitting beside Elysia, Eden, who had been looking down at her phone the whole time because of the heated discussion in the group about miHoYo's cliffhangers, finally noticed that Elysia had derailed the conversation and shifted her attention from the group to remind Elysia of their real purpose.

What? You want to know what they were talking about in the group just now?

Alright, alright. If you're that curious…

Vill-V: "Recruiting staff for a mega-scale magic show to make someone disappear—come quickly (🎉)(🎉)"

Kosma: "..."

Kosma sent a string of ellipses.

But he probably had a lot of thoughts inside.

Like—

Vill-V recruiting help for her magic show? That sounds dangerous. Should he warn everyone?

But is it really his place to say something like that?

Forget it... everyone probably already gets the idea.

Vill-V: "Kosma, do you want to help?"

Kosma: "...No."

Vill-V: "Really? What a pity."

After a few exchanges between Kosma and Vill-V—

Eden: "Make someone disappear?"

Vill-V: "Eden, will you sponsor it?"

Eden: "Can you tell me what you plan to do first?"

Vill-V: "Of course—it's to kidnap the boss of miHoYo!"

Vill-V: "I've even drafted the phantom thief invitation letter."

Vill-V: "Dear miHoYo employees, please update the Honkai Impact 3rd main story within three days, or I will lock your boss in a dark room and harshly torture him!"

Vill-V: "How's that? Pretty good, right?"

That's more or less what the members of Flame-Chasers chat group were saying.

Back to the topic.

Eden reminded Elysia, "Elysia, don't forget why we're here."

"Right, right~!" Elysia came back to herself. "Everyone at miHoYo~~ Please~!"

"Even if not for me, think of the massive audience in the stream! Can you really bear to end on a cliffhanger?"

[SC] "Let me see the next part of the story! I just want to know what happens to Kiana!"

Some even started sending SCs (Super Chat messages).

As previously mentioned, Super Chats are paid messages that can appear at the very top of the stream chat unconditionally.

And as everyone knows, the longer a Super Chat stays pinned depends on how much you pay.

In other words, the higher your SC amount, the longer it gets pinned.

[SC ¥2000]: "miHoYo, let's make a deal. Show us the plot, and I'll immediately drop 10 ten-pulls."

["Cecilia" ¥500]: "miHoYo—hurry up!! I want to see my daughter!!"

All the players now shared a single desire.

A torrent of barrage comments came flooding in with the same message.

Kiana and Himeko were both stunned by everyone's passion.

But it was obvious this wasn't something they could decide.

They looked toward Hokuto in unison.

And Hokuto, the one who could make the call, thought for a moment and then stepped forward for the first time, appearing in the stream camera.

Although… his camera angle was quite tricky—viewers could only see his legs, waist, and a crisply ironed outfit.

He continued to speak in Otto's voice as disguise: "Since everyone is this enthusiastic, and since Miss Fairy and Miss Eden agreed so readily to perform the Meteoric Salvation theme song…"

He paused. "It wouldn't be right for me to keep holding back."

"The Meteoric Salvation theme song was sung by Eden?"

"You didn't realize?"

"I was too busy crying earlier to notice…"

Well, as expected of Eden—being a world-class superstar, she immediately shifted the entire tone of the stream.

Even Elysia was distracted again.

She glanced at the barrage and blinked, then showed a slightly excited smile.

In her mind, the audience should soon be wondering—just who is Elysia, that she could duet with a world-famous idol like Eden?!

Just the thought of it was amusing.

"Wait… Meteoric Salvation was a duet… Elysia?"

"Yep, it's Miss Fairy. You're watching a pilipili stream and don't even know who Miss Fairy is? (judging)"

Eden's popularity was firmly rooted, with fans in every field.

However, strictly in the pilipili scene, it was a different matter.

"Ohhh! So it was Miss Fairy! I mean, people kept calling her that, so I forgot her real name was Elysia."

Elysia: ?

"A duet between Miss Fairy and Eden? That means Meteoric Salvation has god-tier vocals."

"Can't believe miHoYo pulled this off—amazing!"

"I'm adding Meteoric Salvation to my playlist—ten plays a day minimum."

"Sigh~~"

"Disappointed, Elysia?"

As her bestie, Eden naturally understood Elysia's "unique" thought process.

"A bit, yeah~~ I was really looking forward to everyone being surprised~~ But instead…"

"It's like Mei brought you dinner, and when you take a bite, you find out Kiana made it."

Elysia used a weird yet somehow spot-on metaphor.

Miss Fairy was always good at that.

"..."

"Elysia, you're still on voice chat with Kiana," Eden reminded her after a moment of silence.

"Ah!" Elysia immediately let out a little yelp.

"Kiana, don't misunderstand! I just… um… oh right! You see, girls who are good at 'cursed cuisine' can be cute too, right?"

Kiana: "..."

Just a few minutes, and she had already used up her entire year's quota of speechlessness.
