Honkai Impact 3rd: Catching the Herrscher of Sentience at the Start

Theresa, bashfully〈Eh? I'm not as cute as Grandpa says~〉

[Miss Lily]Otto〈Little Theresa, Ada, and the other silver-haired girl should be Alvitr.〉

[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua〈Alvitr can probably be ruled out. The dean's expression when seeing that book makes it clear she recognizes it, but it's uncertain if it's her or a friend.〉

Theresa〈There's no way I'm a magic girl. I'm not that childish!〉

Einstein〈And Judah can also be ruled out. In the video, Theresa forgot to bring Judah when leaving, clearly showing Judah is still a Divine Key in that world. So, only Ada and Theresa remain.〉

---------------------------

Theresa〈It can't be me!〉

[Sits-Up king] Walter〈The answer is already obvious. No one wants to buzz in?〉

Tesla〈Walter, what's with your title? Hahaha!〉

[Sits-Up King]Walter〈Dr. Tesla...〉

[Miss Lily] Otto 〈@Walter, why don't you try buzzing in? Trust me, choose B.〉

[Sits-Up King]Walter〈...〉

Walter looked at Otto's comment, resembling an elderly person squinting at a smartphone, leaving everyone speechless.

Theresa〈Himeko, why don't you try picking B?〉

Himeko〈?〉

Kiana〈So the answer is B?〉

Bronya〈That's right, dummy Kiana, hurry up and pick it.〉

"Trust me, Kiana, it's definitely B. Just go for it." Fu Lin chimed in from the side.

Kiana〈Ahem! I was just saying~〉

Kiana puffed her cheeks, looking at Bronya and the host. Even if I'm dumb, I can tell it can't be B! She couldn't believe they were treating her like an idiot.

As for Kevin, he remained silent, observing quietly, not engaging in the discussion—or perhaps he simply couldn't find an opening to join in.

Wutong glanced at the screen and then at Sirin and Yae Sakura beside her. "Everyone's saying to pick B. Should we try? Maybe we'll get lucky..."

"You better not think like that. Wrong answers come with penalties, you know☆," Sirin warned, pointing at the system's quiz rules on the screen.

Fu Hua watched the chatter unfold, then said, "No one buzzing in? Then I'll..."

[Senti Enters the Stream Room...]

[Miss Lily]Otto〈I choose A!〉

Senti clenched her fists in frustration, seeing Otto's comment, "Weren't you all staying quiet? How did the question get answered as soon as I joined?"

Kiana〈!〉

Mei〈!〉

Bronya〈!〉

Himeko〈!〉

Theresa〈Grandpa!〉

[Miss Lily]Otto〈Forgive me, dear granddaughter...〉

With Otto successfully answering, the video resumed from where it had left off.

Theresa trembled as she approached Alvitr, then, in a flash, pulled her into the room and threw her onto the bed.

Alvitr, still dazed, stared blankly at Theresa.

"Young lady... where did you get that book in your hands?" Theresa asked gently, hoisting the massive Judah's Oath onto her shoulder.

"Could you hand it over to your big sister?"

Kiana〈Yikes! That's it—Aunt Theresa is going to silence her for good!〉

Mei〈It's not... that serious, is it?〉

Theresa〈Kiana~~ How could you think I'm that kind of person?!〉

The video continued.

Alvitr shivered, leaning back as she nervously retorted, "You—You impudent fool! This is the authentic work of the Light Magic Maiden, Lady Teriri, who has conquered countless battlefields!"

"It is not something mere mortals like you can touch!"

Hearing Alvitr's chūnibyō declaration, Theresa awkwardly reached for the book, muttering, "That's not something you need to worry about. Just give it to me!"

Then Alvitr evaded Theresa's attempts with a series of bizarre movements, eventually perching in the corner between a wardrobe and the wall, too scared to come down.

Theresa, exhausted from the chase, rested her hands on her knees and panted. "How can such a little kid run so fast? I'm beat."

Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in Theresa's mind. She cleared her throat and waved kindly at Alvitr.

"Hey there, little one, let me tell you a secret~"

"Actually, big sister here is good friends with Teriri."

"If you give me the book now, I might even be able to get Teriri's autograph for you."

Tesla〈I never thought Otto's granddaughter would stoop to bribing a kid. This is hilarious!〉

Theresa〈Grrr! Anti-Entropy scum, you'd better watch yourselves!〉

Kiana〈Auntie, they're not wrong, though.〉

Theresa〈Kiana, whose side are you on?!〉
