Honkai Impact 3: What to do if your future wives are eyeing you?

Chapter 9: Change the past, change the present, change the future!

Bronya: ...

She looked at the future Bronya beside her with a look of inexplicable shock.

Is this really something my future self would say?

Just as Bronya's mind wandered, a warm current came from the hand she was holding.

warm.

Just as Bronya was marveling at this power, it had already passed through her body and reached her injured calf.

Immediately afterwards, a tingling sensation began to spread through my calf, which was still bandaged.

"Don't worry, this is to treat your calf. Although it will get better in time, at least now that it's being treated, you'll be better able to escape the disaster that breaks out in Changkong City."

It just made him more tired. Honestly, how could I have been such a hindrance back then?

Bronya: ...

She decided to selectively ignore some of the complaints about her future self and instead focus her energy on the important things she had mentioned.

A disaster will occur in Changkong City in the future.

And this kind of thing is also a burden for him.

These two things are now on her mind even more.

While she was pondering, Chen Feng quietly let go of Bronya's hand. His complexion was worse than when he had just woken up, and he looked slightly pale.

"Your leg should be fine now. Why don't you get up and walk around a bit?"

Bronya looked at the concerned face on the other person's face, then silently lowered her head and moved her bandaged calves.

It seems that the pain has indeed subsided.

She tentatively stood up, slowly putting weight on that leg.

It's really okay now.

Bronya's eyes showed amazement.

What kind of power is this? It's so strong that it can not only suppress the gradually disappearing Seele, but also heal its own injuries.

The thought of Seele made her feel down again.

Chen Feng had clearly noticed Bronya's change in mood. "Are you thinking about Seele?"

"Yes, it's Bronya's fault for not protecting Seele."

Bronya lowered her head, her voice muffled: "...It's Bronya's fault for not protecting Seele."

"It's not your fault."

Chen Feng's voice was calm, carrying an undeniable certainty.

"This is Seele's choice, it has nothing to do with you."

"But……"

Bronya.

Chen Feng interrupted her, his tone so serious it didn't sound like someone who had just woken up.

"If you had been in the cabin at the time, Seele would have chosen to do the same thing."

Bronya fell silent upon hearing this. Of course, she knew that if she and Seele were to switch places, Seele would definitely make the same choice.

Because that's the kind of person Seele is.

"...Bronya knows."

Her voice lowered even further.

"But knowing and accepting are two different things."

Chen Feng did not respond.

He just sat there on the bed, quietly watching Bronya.

Just like Bronya said, knowing and accepting are two different things.

What Bronya needs now is not comfort, but time.

After a long while, Bronya took a deep breath, looked up at his pale face, and spoke softly.

"...You don't look well."

"Um."

"Is it because of treating Bronya?"

Not entirely.

Chen Feng twitched the corner of his mouth. "I wasn't fully recovered to begin with, and now that I've taken some more time off, it's naturally even more tiring. But it's not a big deal."

Bronya looked at his pale face, and she wanted to say something to him, such as about Seele.

But in the end, she only managed to utter those two words.

"……Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Chen Feng waved his hand, got off the bed, and turned to walk towards the door.

"You should rest first. You've been watching over me all this time, so you probably haven't had a good rest either."

"Wait a minute, you're still very weak, rest for a while."

Bronya called him back and said this to him seriously.

Chen Feng turned around and smiled, "I still need to go back to school. This time I've taken a long leave, so I need to catch up on my knowledge."

Remember to come home for dinner tonight.

After saying that, Chen Feng waved and turned to leave.

Bronya watched the other person's still slightly swaying back as she sat on the bed, holding Hom in her arms.

The room fell silent.

He's gone.

"Um."

He looks very tired...

"Yeah, this guy always likes to carry so much stuff on his shoulders. We could help him, he's even more stupid than Kiana."

Bronya was silent for a moment, then she turned her head to look at her future self standing beside her.

Her eyes held a complex mix of emotions as she asked in a low voice.

"What will he be like in the future?"

When the future Bronya heard this, she did not answer immediately.

She went to the window, watched Chen Feng's departing figure as he went downstairs, and slowly spoke, her tone revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

"His future, you can choose to see for yourself. That's not difficult for you right now, is it?"

The future Bronya still had that lingering shock in her eyes.

She didn't say a word when Chen Feng was chatting with Bronya.

Because at that time, she was accepting some unfamiliar, new memories.

In this new memory, she did not participate in the X-10 experiment again, her emotional module was not damaged, and her legs were healed by his treatment.

These are all new memories.

It was only at this point that the future Bronya finally realized the truth.

This is where they went through everything.

She changed her previous perception of him by using her own language, which is why she created new stories and memories.

Thinking of this, her breathing gradually became rapid.

If the future can truly be changed, then if I act properly, could I change those tragedies and allow him... to survive?

The future Bronya was shocked, and after the shock came unparalleled ecstasy.

No, no, I must change the past myself.

So she made this suggestion to her past self.

She maintained a certain degree of rationality. If her past self knew too much, she might become overly ambitious, since they weren't as mature as they are now.

Bronya paused for a moment after hearing the advice her future self gave her.

"That's not what Bronya wants to ask. What Bronya wants to know is... why do you always have that expression on your face when you look at him and talk about him?"

In the future, after returning to normalcy, Bronya looked back with a puzzled expression at her former self.

"What kind of expression is that?"

"Bronya couldn't explain it..."

Bronya lowered her head, trying to think of many words to describe it.

"It's like... looking at something very important."

The future Bronya paused for a moment, then laughed.

The smile on her face wasn't awkward, but rather a gentle smile tinged with a hint of bitterness.

"Because he is..."

"What is it?"

"It's nothing, you'll find out later."

The future Bronya smiled casually, then crouched down to look at her past self.

"Right now, you only need to know one thing."

"What?"

"That means you should care about him more and not let him quietly disappear from your sight."

Bronya was taken aback by his words, and she retorted, "But Bronya already cares about him a lot."

The future Bronya shook her head. "Not enough."

You need to care about how he is doing today, whether he's eaten and slept well, and in the event of danger, your first thought is whether he's injured. You care so much that even if he's gone, you'll always keep him in your heart.

Bronya's fingers trembled slightly.

"Was he gone later?"

The future Bronya fell silent upon hearing this.

Bronya looked at her future self's expression and suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

"Doesn't the future Bronya want to answer this question?"

"It's not that I don't want to."

The future Bronya reached out, wanting to touch her former self's silver hair, but ultimately couldn't.

"That's not right, Bronya. Knowing too much about the future isn't a good thing for you right now... especially about him."
