Help! My Honkai Impact 3rd Livestream Attracted the Actual Characters!

Chapter 108: Elysia: "Huh… Even an Immortal Can Run Out of Money?"

What baffled Seele the most wasn't just that the Arlene sisters were here—

It was how they looked.

Why on earth… did they have horns?

And tails?!

They looked like Honkai Beasts!

Seele, who had been folding clothes in the orphanage, couldn't help but glance over at the real Arlene sisters.

At that moment, the two girls—who were the same age as her—were happily using breadsticks as microphones, singing their hearts out.

She had heard them talk about wanting to become idols before.

But now—they were actually practicing for it?

But most importantly—

They looked completely normal.

So why… why did they look like that in the game?

『my favorite sister Bronya:』 'Big brother, why is this happening?'

"Oh, this? Well…"

Hokuto glanced at Seele's blue-colored chat message floating across the screen.

Now that he thought about it—she probably didn't know about what happened to the Arlene sisters yet.

Since that was the case…

Might as well tell her now.

"They fused with Honkai Beast genes, and that's how they ended up like this."

『my favorite sister Bronya:』 'WHAT?!'

Ding!

[Due to your livestream interaction, 『my favorite sister Bronya』 is shocked! You have received 840 crystals!]

Hokuto smirked in satisfaction.

Who doesn't love free crystals?

"Ahem. Surprised? Didn't see that coming, did you? If you want to know more, you'll have to ask their mother."

『my favorite sister Bronya:』 '…You mean Mama Cocolia?'

"Yep. That's her."

With that, Hokuto shifted his focus back to the game screen.

At that moment, the chaotic little troublemakers were finally interacting with each other.

[T-That's right! Liliya, I'll protect your back!]

[But, Rosalia… our backs are against a dead end.]

[EHHHHH?!]

It wasn't until this very moment that the two girls finally realized—

All the monsters had already been defeated.

And the one who had taken them down was a mysterious big sister… and a flying pet?

[You're safe now, little ones.]

[Huh?]

[And do you want to know why? Because she's here! The undefeated legend who has fought against thousands of monsters! The immortal guardian of Shenzhou, protecting its peace for millennia! The one known as—]

Just as Book of Fuxi was about to proudly announce Fu Hua's legendary title, making sure these kids knew their ancestor's greatness—

[Xixi, that's enough.]

Fu Hua interrupted, stopping her from saying anything further.

[Alright, alright, you don't like hearing it—I won't say it.]

[Little ones, where do you live? We'll take you home.]

Compared to Fu Hua's calm demeanor, Book of Fuxi was far more lively and playful.

It really made one wonder…

Did the person who created this weapon sneak in a bit of personal bias?

Just then, the silhouette of a petite, white-haired girl flashed across the background.

The scene transitioned.

Taoyuan Village – Sakura Pavilion

[Sakura-sis! We're back!]

With Rosalia's excited voice, the camera shifted to another figure at the counter.

A pink-haired woman, elegantly writing with a brush.

She had fox ears, a gentle, serene expression, and bright, intelligent eyes.

She wore an ornate qipao, and in her hand, a calligraphy brush paused mid-stroke as she turned to look back.

[Coming back this late… Didn't I send you out to throw away the trash? Where did you two run off to this time?]

The woman standing behind the counter—

She was none other than Sakura, the same figure from the Sakura Samsara storyline.

Just as she finished speaking, Liliya immediately tattled on her sister.

[It's all Rosalia's fault. She saw Grandpa Wa's shadow play and got so distracted that we missed the trash collection time.]

[So we just tossed it at the village entrance!]

[You can't just dump your trash at the village entrance! Tomorrow morning, the two of you are waking up early to apologize to Master Hui with me.]

It was clear that this world's Sakura had spent a long time looking after the Arlene sisters.

Her words carried a gentle yet firm, motherly warmth.

[It's fine, Sakura-sis~ The monsters ate all the trash anyway!]

[Yeah! It was a huge monster, as big as a hill! It swallowed everything in one gulp!]

As the sisters chattered on, the full picture of what happened became clearer.

Having escorted the two safely home, Fu Hua was about to take her leave.

But before she could step out—

[Please wait, both of you.]

Sakura called out to them.

[It's already quite late. Why not stay at my little shop for the night? Tomorrow, I'll personally cook up a fine meal to thank you both.]

[That won't be necessary, I—]

Fu Hua instinctively wanted to refuse, but…

The Miss Sakura before her was far too perceptive.

[You saved Rosalia and Liliya. That means you are my benefactor… and the benefactor of this Sakura Pavilion. This small gesture—please, do not refuse.]

[...]

Fu Hua hesitated.

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Hehe, I didn't expect that even in this world, Hua would still be this shy! Hmm~ Compared to her, Sakura is way more straightforward.'

A pink-colored chat bubble floated across the screen.

Elysia was clearly enjoying the interaction, though she still wished Hua would be a little more lively.

But—knowing Fu Hua, that was never going to happen.

To finally make her agree, even Sakura's suggestion alone wasn't enough—

Book of Fuxi had to step in and back her up.

[Exactly, exactly! Ahh, BlockHead, don't be so stiff! It's already late, just stay here for the night! Besides, we still have some materials we need to buy. If we stay in the village, we can hit the morning market first thing!]

With both of them ganging up on her, Fu Hua finally gave in.

[…Fine.]

[The second-floor guest room, "Drunken Sakura," should still be vacant. Seele, take our guests to their room.]

Seeing that Fu Hua had agreed, Sakura immediately called for an employee.

But the moment she did—

a certain viewer in the livestream found herself completely caught off guard.

『my favorite sister Bronya:』 'Eh?!'

As soon as Sakura finished speaking, a nervous white-clad girl hurriedly ran out from behind the counter.

A shy young woman, dressed in an exquisite blue and white qipao.

And when Seele saw her own in-game counterpart appear—

She completely froze.

This girl in the game… looked exactly like her.

But what shocked her even more—

was the outfit.

The elegant qipao, the delicate embroidery, the refined, graceful design…

Was this… really her?

Could she really… wear something this beautiful?

At that moment, self-doubt filled her mind.

She had never seen herself dressed like this before.

As she grappled with her thoughts, the in-game Seele had already spoken.

[O-Oh… um… r-right. Guests, p-please follow me.]

Seele's voice was timid, her gaze lowered as she clutched the accounting book in her arms.

Yet—

From behind the strands of her hair, she kept stealing glances at her unfamiliar guests.

As she observed Fu Hua and the others…

Book of Fuxi, in turn, started observing her.

[This child…]

For a brief moment, their eyes met.

Seele quickly averted her gaze, clearly flustered.

But in that brief instant, Book of Fuxi had already circled around her twice, scanning her from head to toe, taking in every detail.

The sudden intrusion of personal space startled Seele, making her freeze in place.

Her face flushed bright red as she stiffened up.

『my favorite sister Bronya:』 'W-Wait, w-what…?! What is this puppet girl even doing?! That's so rude!'

As the scene played out, a blue-colored chat bubble floated across the screen.

Seele—the real one—had sent it.

Even though she knew this was just another version of herself, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed at the thought of someone inspecting her so closely.

And just as her chat bubble passed by,

A pink one soon followed.

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Hehe~ Well, it's because this Seele is just too cute~'

Elysia was clearly having fun watching the scene unfold—

Unaware that the person she was chatting with was the real Seele.

And her words—

only made Seele even more embarrassed.

『my favorite sister Bronya:』 'W-WHAT?!'

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'So basically, Book of Fuxi is staring at Seele because she thinks she's cute?'

As Elysia teased the situation, another new message appeared.

『Today's Performance Wasn't Perfect:』 'That does seem like the case.'

Hua—who had been silently observing all this time—

Finally gave her own input.

To be honest, from what she had seen of Fu Hua's character in the event so far, everything seemed pretty well done.

The immortal protector of Shenzhou, descending to restore balance to the calendar, saving a girl from being attacked by monsters…

If this isn't the perfect protagonist setup, what is?

Although, she could admit—

Book of Fuxi's personality seemed a little too relaxed.

But ultimately, it wasn't a big deal.

[G-Guest… you're standing too close…]

[Oh~ this child is actually quite cute!]

In the game, after thoroughly scanning Seele from all angles, Book of Fuxi finally spoke.

To be honest—

If Book of Fuxi hadn't been designed as a beautiful girl, Seele might have actually screamed for help.

Instead, Seele hurriedly responded with a polite bow.

[T-Thank you for the compliment, Guest.]

At that moment, Sakura stepped in to formally introduce her.

[This child's name is Seele. She's a new helper at my shop.**

She does a fine job with everything—

But this shy nature of hers just won't go away.]

[If she has offended either of you, please forgive her.**]

[Not at all, Madam.**]

Fu Hua politely nodded, stroking her chin.

The scene then transitioned.

Sakura Pavilion – Second Floor

[This will be your room for the night.]

[T-This place is way too luxurious! Look at this bed, these chairs, this tea set… Hey, little miss, how much does a night here cost?!**]

Hearing Book of Fuxi's sudden question, Seele nervously responded.

[O-On normal days… at least ten taels of silver per night…]

The moment those words left her lips—

Book of Fuxi's expression instantly changed.

[BlockHead, I think you were right. We should stop troubling these kind folks and head back to the temple.**]

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Wait, what? Hua is this poor in this world?! That's so strange… I thought someone as important as an immortal guardian wouldn't have money problems!'

A pink-colored chat bubble floated across the screen.

Elysia, upon seeing Book of Fuxi worrying over money, found it absolutely bizarre.

Why on earth would an immortal have financial struggles?

But of course, more than that—

She was just concerned about Hua's well-being.

No matter the world—whether it was this one or another—

Elysia simply couldn't understand it.

And to her confusion, Hokuto only had one thing to say—

"Yeah, it's strange, but that's just how the story is set up. But don't worry—Sakura already said they won't be charged."

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Oh? So that's how it is…'

As Elysia's signature pink-colored chat bubble floated by, the game screen showed Seele stopping Book of Fuxi.

[Guest, you needn't worry. Sakura-sis already gave orders not to charge you. You're welcome to stay the night.]

[Oh? Living the rich life for once doesn't sound bad! BlockHead, we're staying!]

Upon receiving confirmation from Seele, Book of Fuxi immediately changed her stance.

[Then, I'll take my leave. If either of you need anything during the night, just call for me in the main hall.]

With that, Seele bowed and left the room.

The moment she was gone—

Book of Fuxi wasted no time diving onto the bed.

[Mmm~ This bed is something else! The softness, the fluffiness… BlockHead, get over here and try it!]

However, Fu Hua remained still, standing with her eyes closed, showing no intention of lying down.

Seeing this, Book of Fuxi tilted her head in confusion.

[BlockHead? You've been zoning out all day. What are you thinking about now?]

[The Yin energy.]

[Tonight, the village's Yin energy is abnormally strong. It's not natural—someone has deliberately caused it.]

But Book of Fuxi wasn't buying it.

[What nonsense are you talking about? This kind of Yin-Yang magic isn't something an ordinary person could just manipulate.]

[Don't think too much about it. Just get in bed—]

Before she could finish speaking—

Knock. Knock.

Two loud knocks echoed through the room.

[Hmm? Seele? Is this… some kind of guest service?]

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Hehe~ This Book of Fuxi is so unserious, but I like it!'

As Elysia's pink-colored chat floated across the screen,

A new chat message immediately followed.

『Today's Performance Wasn't Perfect:』 'Too frivolous.'

Just as their messages passed by,

A desperate voice called from outside the door.

[H… Help… Save me…]

[Y-YAAAH! G-GHOST! BLOCKHEAD, IT'S A GHOST!]

The moment the cry for help echoed outside, Book of Fuxi dropped all pretense of composure.

She had gone from smug to terrified in an instant.

For an artifact that served an immortal, being this scared of ghosts was…

Truly a skill of its own.

Yet—

Fu Hua remained unfazed.

As Book of Fuxi panicked, Fu Hua simply gave a calm, firm order.

"Open the door."

The screen darkened.

Then—

A line of text appeared.

"Who was the one knocking at midnight?

What mystery lies behind the strange Yin energy in this village?"

"To be continued in the next chapter—"

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'Eh?! Already over?! Why does the event story also cut off at cliffhangers?!'

『my favorite sister Bronya:』 'Who was calling for help? Could it be… Sakura?'

『where did the little lab rats hide?:』 'Hmph, who knows? The dialogue box only showed ???. Could be a new character we haven't seen yet.'

"Alright, time for the next chapter!"

"Yeah, let's move on!"

However—

Faced with the chat's growing excitement, Hokuto could only chuckle bitterly.

"Ahem… Everyone, that might not be possible. The event story only has four chapters, and each one is only a few minutes long. They're releasing them in batches, so… today's content ends here."

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 'WHAT?!'

Upon hearing that the stream was ending, the chat immediately revolted.

The viewers were not pleased.

End of Chapter 108
