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

Chapter 17: Who's the Real Winner? The Never-Ending Debate!

Seele was shocked by the sudden showdown between Kiana and Bronya.

"Bronya-nee is facing her best friend? That must be so hard… Fighting someone you spend every day with must be painful, right?"

Seeing Seele's comment, Hokuto chuckled.

"Don't worry, these two love a good fight. They won't hold back."

Sure enough, before the match even began, the trash talk was already flying.

Kiana: "Finally! A real fight with that annoying little gremlin! I'll show you that I'm way stronger than you think!"

Bronya: "…As expected. Bronya was overthinking. Kiana's brain has finally collapsed from Honkai exposure."

Seele: "Huh? Weren't they supposed to be best friends? Do they… not get along?"

Hokuto: "Oh, they do. They're just tsundere."

Seele: "Tsun…dere? What does that mean?"

Hokuto: "..." Yeah, not explaining that right now.

Instead, he focused on the fight.

The match started—Bronya, in her Snowy Sniper battlesuit, versus Kiana in her Herrscher of Reason form.

…It wasn't even close.

Bronya got absolutely steamrolled.

Seele was confused.

"Bronya-nee won! …Wait, no, she lost? But… but there's two Bronyas on screen! Who actually won?!"

Hokuto sighed. "The one I was playing won. The game's Bronya got clapped."

Seele: "Unacceptable! I demand a rematch!"

Before she could protest further, Bronya herself spoke up in-game.

Bronya: "Tch. Bronya's performance was unstable due to injury. Kiana should not celebrate too soon. Her next opponent… is Class President."

Meanwhile, in the Chat...

Hua: "Class President?"

She narrowed her eyes, immediately realizing who they were talking about.

She was about to witness herself in battle.

Or rather… a girl that looked exactly like her.

Across the chat—

Elysia: "Ooooh~! Class President? That's the adorable girl named Fu Hua, right?"

Hokuto nearly choked.

"Pfft—adorable girl?"

He could already hear old man Fu Hua coughing up blood somewhere.

Elysia: "Hmm? Something funny?"

Hokuto: "Nope, nothing at all." Nope, not explaining that either.

"Let's move on with the story."

The Next Match: Kiana vs. Fu Hua

Fu Hua: "Kiana, please give me your best effort in this exam."

Kiana: "Uhh… Class Prez…?"

Fu Hua: "Something wrong?"

Kiana: "I dunno… I just feel weird. Like I'm not myself today."

Fu Hua: "Do not overthink it. Focus on the battle. That's what makes you strong."

Hua: "..."

Hokuto: "Hua? Something wrong?"

Hua: "Cough. No, nothing."

Meanwhile, in the previous era…

Elysia turned to Hua with a sly smile.

"Wow~ Hua, you're so sweet when you comfort people! If you talked to me like that, I'd be so happy~"

Hua: "...That was Fu Hua, not me."

Elysia: "Uh-huh~ Sure~"

Back in the game—

Hokuto effortlessly wiped the floor with Fu Hua.

Fu Hua: "…Kiana, your performance was truly outstanding."

Kiana: "Huh? That felt way too easy."

Chatroom Chaos

Hua: "…That's it?"

Hokuto: "Yeah? Did you think I was gonna throw hands for 30 minutes?"

Hua: "That battle could have been executed with more precision."

Hokuto: "...Are you seriously judging your future self's fight performance?"

Hua: "One should always strive for perfection."

Hokuto: "Alright, Sensei, moving on."

He clicked into the next chapter.

A New Challenger Appears!

Suddenly, the game's next cutscene zoomed in on a familiar tiny White-haired principal.

Theresa: "Before we continue, I'd like to introduce a special guest from HQ… Miss Rita Rossweisse."

Theresa: "She'll be observing today's Valkyrie trials, so everyone—please do your best."

As Theresa finished speaking, a tall, elegant woman appeared on screen.

But before anyone could even process her stunning beauty, Rita dropped a bomb.

Rita: "Forgive me for the interruption… but I'd like to personally test one of these Valkyries in battle."

Theresa: "Huh? Test them? Who?"

Rita: "Oh, I have someone in mind…"

Hokuto: "...Welp. Things just got interesting."
