As this simulation officially drew to a close.
After tallying up the talent rewards from this simulation, which she had started with a death-defying resolve, Lunelle felt for the first time that her simulator finally seemed a bit less… infuriatingly stingy.
'Good grief, this is how a proper transmigrator's golden finger should actually work, right?'
But before Lunelle could even finish savoring that thought.
The simulator unceremoniously and ruthlessly booted her consciousness right back into the real world.
And as her awareness returned to that blood-drained, thoroughly wrecked body—basically a death sentence waiting to be pronounced—
'Argh! Dying dying dying! Holy crap, this freaking hurts!'
Back in her body, too grievously wounded to even speak, Lunelle was forced to lie face-down, screaming her head off internally.
Only now did she feel a twinge of regret for her foolish, impulsive act of charging in to take a blow meant for her dear Kiana.
Of course, Lunelle wasn't regretting shoving aside her designated future wife. No, she was regretting not adjusting her angle just a bit when she got slashed.
Because from where she was now sprawled, completely unable to turn her head, she had zero view of the battlefield.
So she couldn't confirm if her heroic interception had actually managed to spare Kiana from taking that hit.
Plus, Lunelle vaguely recalled that when her Mei-wife underwent her Herrscher awakening, and the emblem of the Gem of Conquest manifested, MiHoYo—being MiHoYo—had deliberately, and quite understandably, orchestrated a bit of fanservice: a strategic, small-scale outfit rupture right above Mei's suspenders!
Honestly, it was a freebie chance to catch a glimpse of her Mei-wife's panties.
As a bit of a closet pervert, Lunelle naturally didn't want to miss that free eyeful if she could help it!
But alas, even though this fruitful simulation had netted her several practical talents, the injuries she'd sustained were absolutely fatal for any normal person.
The [Hyper-Recovery] talent derived from [Authority of Creation] was, after all, still only a green-grade talent at this stage.
Though, fueled by Lunelle's currently blazing will to live, it was putting in significant work.
But as a mere green talent, expecting it to swiftly suppress, let alone cure, injuries so horrific they nearly cleaved her body in half was rather unrealistic.
So, despite her desperate efforts to stoke her survival instincts after returning to her body, Lunelle succumbed to massive blood loss and blacked out less than a dozen seconds later.

"Huh? Wh-why...?"
Kiana, who had charged forward fully prepared to be bisected, now found it bizarre that she didn't seem injured at all.
Yet, based on the sensation she'd felt moments ago, she was certain a small, fragrant, and soft figure had shoved her aside at the critical instant before the blade struck!
And the only person who could possibly have done that right now was clearly...!!!
Kiana's pupils constricted violently. She whipped her head around, face etched with dread.
The moment her eyes confirmed the small form lying in a pool of blood, looking as if its last breath could vanish any second—
"Why? Why is Seele lying here?!"
Kiana's world froze. She felt her mind go completely blank.
In truth, thanks to Lunelle's crucial dozen-second struggle for survival, and her body's instinctive activation of [Hyper-Recovery] even after blacking out, what should have been an instantly fatal wound was tenuously held at the very brink of death.
Given time, Lunelle would eventually recover from this near-death state. It just required… time.
But to the two young women witnessing Lunelle's tragic situation at the scene, unaware of her newly acquired talents, Lunelle looked every bit like she was truly gone, didn't she?!
Even the notoriously tough Kiana didn't believe she could cling to life after losing such a catastrophic amount of blood!
Let alone the adorable, obviously far more fragile Seele, who seemed several times more delicate than Kiana herself!
Seeing Lunelle—no, Seele—lying there, grievously wounded and possibly dead, all to protect her, an indescribable, horrifying agony surged through Kiana's heart.
It truly embodied that feeling of "losing my beloved, all is ruin."
Even though the total time Kiana had known Lunelle probably hadn't even reached two full days, it felt as if a faint, almost inaudible voice was relentlessly hammering into Kiana's mind, insisting that Lunelle was someone profoundly, critically important to her!
For one fleeting moment, Kiana even harbored the thought that losing Mei would be preferable to losing Lunelle! (Mei: ???)
Why?
Why does it hurt this much?
Is Seele really that important to me?
But why can't I remember? Why can't I recall anything at all?!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!"
In that instant, utterly tormented by the anguish within, Kiana shattered on the spot.
