Kiana finally understood what a 'social terrorist' truly was.
Elysia really dared to say anything.
Kiana opened her mouth, hesitated, then hesitated again, wanting to speak yet stopping herself.
What did she mean, both Mei's girlfriends?
This strange phrasing truly 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.
"That's right~~ Ordinary female friends~~ I wasn't wrong, was I? Or perhaps… Kiana, are you thinking something improper?" Elysia's playful voice drifted over, audible to everyone in the miHoYo studio.
Mei rubbed her temples, a headache brewing. Her forehead throbbed faintly, as if two horns were about to sprout.
(Elysia: Is something this good actually happening?)
Kiana fell silent again. She really couldn't handle Elysia at all.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Eden, who was sitting right next to Elysia and had been engrossed in her phone due to a heated discussion in the group chat about miHoYo's cliffhanger, finally noticed Elysia had derailed the conversation. She shifted her attention from the group chat, intending to remind Elly not to forget their main purpose.
What? You ask what they were discussing in the group chat?
Alright, alright, if you're curious.
Vill-V: [Recruiting for a super grand magic show: Making a Living Person Disappear! First come, first served! (Fireworks) (Fireworks)]
Kosma: [...]
Kosma sent a string of ellipses.
But he probably had many thoughts running through his mind.
For example:
Vill-V's magic show is recruiting? Sounds dangerous. Should I warn everyone?
But is it really appropriate for me to say something like that?
Forget it… Everyone should understand this point.
Vill-V: [Does Kosma want to help?]
Kosma: [...No.]
Vill-V: [Is that so? A bit of a pity.]
Kosma and Vill-V exchanged a few more messages.
Then Eden appeared.
Eden: [Making a living person disappear?]
Vill-V: [Does Eden want to provide sponsorship?]
Eden: [Could you tell me first what you plan to do?]
Vill-V: [Of course, kidnap the miHoYo boss!]
Vill-V: [I've even figured out how to write the phantom thief invitation.]
Vill-V: [Greetings, esteemed miHoYo employees. Please update Honkai Impact 3rd's main story within three days. Otherwise, I will lock your boss in a small dark room and 'torture' him severely!]
Vill-V: [How about that, pretty good, right?]
The conversation in the 'Flame-Chaser Moths' group chat went something like that.
Getting back to the main topic.
Eden reminded Elysia, "Elly, don't forget our main purpose."
"Right, right, right!" Elysia snapped back to attention. "Everyone at miHoYo~~ Please~~"
"Even if not for me, for the sake of so many viewers in the livestream, can you bear to leave it on a cliffhanger?"
[Just let me see the rest of the story! I just want to know what happened to Kiana!]
Some people even started sending SC (Super Chat) messages. As mentioned before, Super Chat is a paid message feature that unconditionally appears at the top of the livestream chat. And as everyone knows, the duration a Super Chat stays pinned is related to the amount paid. In other words, the larger the amount for your Super Chat, the longer it stays at the top.
[Super Chat (2000 RMB): miHoYo, let's make a deal. You show us the story, and I'll immediately log into the game and whale for ten 648 RMB top-ups.]
[Whales are so freaking awesome! Isn't that easily close to ten thousand RMB they're about to drop?]
['I am Cecilia' (500 RMB): miHoYo—hurry up! I want to see my daughter!!]
The players' thoughts were strikingly aligned at this moment. A massive flood of bullet comments, all carrying the same sentiment, surged forth.
Kiana and Himeko, seeing everyone so enthusiastic, couldn't help but look at each other.
But this was clearly not something they could decide.
They both instinctively looked towards Su Luo.
And Su Luo, the one who could make the decision, thought for a moment from the side, then proactively walked forward, appearing on camera for the first time.
However, his angle was very peculiar; the livestream audience could only see his thighs and waist, along with his impeccably tailored clothes.
He continued to use Otto's voice as a disguise: "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, and Miss Elf and Miss Eden previously agreed so readily to sing the theme song for 'Skyfall Meteor'."
He paused for a moment. "It would be a bit inappropriate for me to keep things hidden any longer."
[The Skyfall Meteor theme song was sung by Eden?]
[You guys didn't recognize her voice?]
[I was too busy tearing up earlier, completely had no mind to pay attention to that.]
Should one say, as expected of Eden? As a world-class superstar with immense popularity, she managed to divert the direction of the bullet comments.
Even Elysia's attention was diverted again.
She blinked at the bullet comments, a hint of keen interest appearing on her face.
According to her thinking, the audience should soon be surprised… Just who was this Elysia, to be able to sing a duet with the superstar Eden!
It sounded like fun just thinking about it.
[Speaking of which, Skyfall Meteor was actually a duet… Elysia?]
Elysia: Here it comes, here it comes!
[It's Miss Elf, duh. You're watching a livestream on BiliBili, don't tell me you don't even know Miss Elf? (Scrutinizing gaze)]
Eden's popularity had a broad base; she had fans in all walks of life.
However, if one were to speak solely of pilipili, then it wasn't necessarily the case.
[Oh, oh, oh! So it's Miss Elf! Well, mainly because everyone keeps calling her Miss Elf, Miss Elf, I forgot Miss Elf's name is Elysia.]
Elysia: ?
[A duet by Miss Elf and Eden. Looking at it this way, Skyfall Meteor has a practically heavenly king-level lineup.]
[miHoYo can actually achieve this level, amazing!]
[I've decided to add the Skyfall Meteor theme song to my collection and listen to it ten times a day.]
"Sigh~~"
"Elly, are you very disappointed?"
As Elysia's good "girlfriend," Eden naturally understood Elysia's 'peculiar' thoughts very well.
"A little bit~~ I was really looking forward to everyone's shock earlier~~ But in the end…"
"It's like when Mei brings you dinner, but when you eat it, you find out Kiana actually made it."
Elysia used a very magical and strangely apt metaphor.
Miss Elf had always been quite skilled with metaphors.
"..."
"Elly, you're still connected to Kiana's livestream," Eden reminded her after a moment of silence.
"Ah!" Elysia let out a sudden yelp.
"Kiana, don't misunderstand, I just… um… right! Look, girls who are good at dark cuisine are also cute, aren't they?"
Kiana: "..."
These few short minutes had nearly used up her entire year's quota of speechlessness.
