(TL: This is not a story chapter, but an author's note discussing the plot and publication issues. Feel free to skip it and continue to the next chapter!)
(Kiana was born in 1998 and joined St. Freya Academy after the third Honkai eruption in 2014. Siegfried always taught Kiana about the real Kiana, so she's 16!)
This chapter is completely unpublishable.
I swear, even the author's note is trying to make me give up.
The review system is useless. I'm going to bed. I'll just vote at 8 AM.
And the Crystal font design. Class is starting. I miss you.
Private message me at the end of the year. Little chick, little chick, next class, season three.
The code is at my brother's place. Summer's new sleeveless top.
Base Four laundry. Summer's new interdisciplinary study.

(I've revised this chapter countless times, but it still gets stuck in review even after passing. Each review takes forever, and I've lost all motivation to edit it further.)
Consider this chapter the author's note.
I want to let you know that I usually can't see your comments. I have to reread the entire book multiple times to check them. So, if you have something specific you want to say to the author, please @ me.
Also, I don't understand why the folding mechanism works the way it does. If you pay close attention, you'll notice that even my own comments sometimes get folded.
Regarding the illustrations, I've marked most of them with "I've provided illustrations," and I have indeed included them, either within the main text or in the comments section. If you can't see them, it's likely the author has been inexplicably blocked.
Many of my illustrations are only visible to me, and some of my explanations and comments have also been blocked.
For instance, in the part about Kiana's depression, I included screenshots of CGs from miHoYo's game. However, the author was blocked, and when some people refuted me, I desperately wanted to say I'd already provided explanations, but I had no idea why my comments were being blocked.
Now, let me outline the story's general structure.
The author's narrative will follow the timeline of the Honkai Impact 3 game, though some details may differ slightly. However, these deviations won't affect the main plot.
The story will begin with Kallen and then delve into the tales of Otto, Kallen, and Yae Sakura, though these sections won't be overly long.
Next, the Third Honkai will cause Yae Village to reappear. After all, if the data-based Kallen could be saved, why wouldn't Yae Sakura, who had vanished as a Stigmata, be saved as well?
As everyone knows, Cortana's Zero-Rated Power can transcribe data bodies into tangible entities. This ability is almost the ultimate blessing for the Flame-Chasers' memory fragments in Elysium Everafter.
This is also the author's preparation for keeping the Flame-Chasers alive.
Let me be clear: Teacher Himeko will definitely not die. However, the author has no intention of skipping the final lesson, the Celestial Meteor, or other pivotal moments. These are crucial steps in Kiana's journey of accepting her power and acknowledging her identity as one aspect of Sirin.
Honkai isn't just a game; the growth of the Big Three is the most important part of the story. A Honkai without suffering is incomplete.
Tang Jia San Shao should really just die. He eats his meal and then smashes the pot.
They won't even let me post my normal content.
Hardly anyone reads my book. I earn a few dollars a day, and they still won't let me be myself. Ah, baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba baba. I spent my entire school years stuck with you.
The review process is almost complete. I've moved the next chapter over, but this one is holding me up, so I can't move the next one either.
