[In the video.]
Facing another self's obstruction, Seele still does not intend to give up.
"Clearly, we agreed to watch the sea together..."
Recalling the bits and pieces of time spent with Bronya, the stigmata on her chest became even more vivid. Tears flowed down her face, melting into the cracks of the floor tiles.
Immediately after, countless pure white flowers frantically grew from the cracks, and soon covered the entire ground.
"Let go! You coward!" Seele shouted while breaking free from the chains, then punched the ground again.
This time, light gushed out from the floor's cracks. What unfolded next was the door to the Sea of Quanta, which had already been closed.
———
[Holy sh*t! It really opened!]
[Thought it would be another tragic ending, and now you're telling me there's a twist?]
[Seven punches to open the Sea of Quanta? And you're telling me this is a weak little girl!]
[Einstein: You're really making me look like a fool here.]
———
In the video, the girl in a blue and white dress dives deep into the Sea of Quanta.
At the same time, perhaps insulted, the Sea of Quanta also began to surge with countless Quantum Shadows. They roared as they lunged at Seele, determined to swallow this ignorant little girl whole.
Facing the overwhelming Quantum Shadows, Seele could only fend off their attacks while desperately diving deeper to find Bronya.
Unfortunately, the lone one ultimately could not defeat the many.
Surrounded and attacked from all sides by the Quantum Shadows, Seele was instantly immobilized.
Such a dilemma made everyone in the real world watching hold their breath.
Just then, a brilliant red light burst from Seele's body. Immediately after came Seele's voice, conveying her heartfelt thoughts to the other self deep within, "Please, my other self, let's go together... to save the one who has always... always protected us!"
Seele's cry successfully reached the ears of Black Seele, who floated above the Sea of Quanta.
Facing the coward's plea for help, Black Seele's lips curved slightly into a gentle smile.
"You really are a handful."
In the next second, crimson light exploded from her body like a blast, blasting all the Quantum Shadows around her away.
Black Seele's phantom solidified behind her, the two standing back to back, their hair tossed together by the energy wave.
Dark red chains, with the sound of rusted iron grinding, pierced the air and tightly bound the ferocious Quantum Shadows.
Next, Black Seele manifested a blood-red scythe several meters long, and Seele grabbed it firmly. The blood-red scythe trembled and hummed.
"Let's go... let's go save Bronya together!"
Seele held the handle with both hands and swept horizontally, the blood moon-shaped blade exploded in a fan shape.
The Quantum Shadows bound by chains instantly melted like butter under high heat.
The Sea of Quanta was split open with a ten-meter-wide vacuum, and Seele took the opportunity to dive deep into the bottomless abyss.
In the darkness, Bronya heard someone calling her name.
"Bron... Bronya..."
"Seele... is that you?" Bronya looked up in disbelief, reaching out her hand toward the descending Seele.
Their hands clasped tightly together.
"Bronya, this time, we will never be separated again."
———
At this point, viewers in the real world all exclaimed that the sweetness this year had exceeded the limit.
[Forgot the beginning, forgot the middle, forgot the ending, anyway, I'm dying from the sweetness!]
[Sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet!]
[A rare Happy Ending]
[Although it might spoil the mood, I want to ask when the writer is going to bring out the knives?]
When the video ended, the real-world netizens all said they hadn't had enough.
But that's understandable. Until now, the plot was either cut off abruptly or full of emotional damage.
Endings with this kind of sweet "orange-flavored" vibe were truly rare. But many viewers also expressed concern.
Given how the miHoYo writers usually are, sweetness is only the appetizer for the pain to come, they're definitely cooking up something big.
But all of this had nothing to do with Guinaifen. Because right now, her mind was entirely focused on Van's whereabouts.
"Wait, bros! Where's the Van you mentioned?"
[Even if it's a fake Van, it's still Van. The viewers aren't lying to you.]
[Yeah yeah yeah, who says a ghost Van isn't still Van?]
[Guys, my uncle works at miHoYo. He told me Van will definitely appear later.]
[Oh, so you're one of those "my-uncle-works-there" types?]
———
[At the same time, somewhere else.]
Van sat on the living room sofa, watching the two busy figures in the kitchen, lost in thought.
'How exactly did things develop like this?'
In the kitchen, Fu Hua was at the counter kneading dough. Her movements were clean and efficient, it was obvious she cooked often.
Meanwhile, Himeko wielded a kitchen knife and struggled with the potatoes and carrots on the chopping board.
Don't be fooled by the loud thunk thunk of the knife hitting the board, what came out was all kinds of shapes and sizes, like it had been chewed by a dog.
Seeing Himeko's very Picasso-style ingredients, Fu Hua decided to intervene.
"Himeko-sensei, do you need help?"
Faced with Fu Hua's offer, Himeko promptly refused and said, "No worries. Before I became a teacher, I cooked quite often. Curry is one of my specialties..."
Maybe feeling her words lacked credibility, Himeko added, "Of course, I'm just a bit out of practice because of how busy work is these days."
However, seeing Himeko almost cut herself again, Fu Hua couldn't hold back anymore.
"Himeko-sensei, how about helping me get some salt? It's in the second cabinet above, on the left."
While Himeko went to get the salt, Fu Hua quickly chopped and sorted all the ingredients within moments.
Meanwhile, Van sat on the living room couch, head down, scrolling through his phone, trying to distract himself with news.
A push notification popped up on the screen, it was about the latest research results from Mobius's experiments.
At that moment, Van's finger paused, and in his mind appeared the image of that woman in a white coat, always twirling her scalpel like a pen.
"Dinner's ready." Fu Hua's voice pulled Van back to reality.
On the table, Fu Hua's bowl of plain noodles was simple and elegant, the green onions fresh like they were just picked, and the soft-boiled egg still looked delicious.
However, when Himeko brought over a plate of charred curry rice, Van almost thought he was hallucinating.
He looked up at Himeko, then turned his gaze to Fu Hua in the kitchen to confirm, 'This thing... Himeko made this? It's really not some kind of 'Van Armament 666' prototype?'
The burnt curry's aroma mixed with intense chili fumes, making Van sneeze.
"You always liked heavy flavors, so I added extra chili just for you."
After speaking, Himeko scooped the most burnt portion of the curry and dumped it into Van's bowl.
Staring at the bubbling, suspicious curry in his bowl, Van couldn't help but think of a medieval witch brewing potions.
Seeing that Van still hadn't picked up his chopsticks, Himeko asked, "Does it not suit your taste? Should I make you a cup of coffee to help wash it down?"
When Himeko said that, Van felt like his death star had begun to shine in the sky.
'Are you kidding me?!'
Everyone knows Himeko's coffee, along with Raiden Mei's "Finality," are considered the two ultimate god-slaying dishes.
So instead of coffee, Van decided to just eat the already-burnt curry in front of him.
Just then, a glass of clear water was pushed in front of Van.
Looking up, Fu Hua stared at him with a blank face. "Drink some water. Cleanse your palate."
Van, 'Hua, my superhero!'
