Hi! Archivist here,
First, I want sincerely apologizing for the recent delays. I know I haven't been on time on my updates, even I find it unacceptable. So, to keep myself accountable and motivated, If I miss a scheduled update, I will add 5 extra chapters on that day! It's a hard penalty, but it's the best way to make myself scared to not post on time(by time I meant day).
Lastly, here's the update from Wednesday and Friday! Happy readings!
Note: +5-chapter penalty is not yet implemented... We can start on Monday?
...
+1 is all i can do for today...
Chapter 48: The 'Social Death' Penalty and Enticing Rewards
[ Genshin Impact-Venti: Do you think it's possible that it's the last option? That girl named Hua mentioned before that no matter what kind of Honkai beast she was dealing with, Elysia would always mark it as "very simple" in her reports. From this, we can see that her strength is extremely formidable. Perhaps she felt her own strength was sufficient and didn't need the help of this Divine Key. ]
[ Genshin Impact-Barbara: Lord Venti is right! ]
[ Genshin Impact-Lumine: Eh? When did the two of you become so close? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd-Kiana: Yeah, I remember Barbara, didn't you drag Venti back to the Cathedral of Favonius before? ]
The others in the streaming room were also full of curiosity. After all, when they found out Venti was the Anemo Archon, this Barbara had quite a reaction.
[ Genshin Impact-Jean: Let me explain! After some reflection, Barbara believes that Lord Venti, as the God of Freedom, cannot have his freedom restricted. Furthermore, a truly devout nun wouldn't care what her deity is like; they only need to have faith in the deity. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail-Xuan Yong: Oh, so Barbara actually has this kind of realization? That's a decent girl. ]
The others in the streaming room also nodded in sudden realization.
"Since time has run out and no one buzzed in, the streaming room will now select someone personally."
"Let us congratulate Honkai: Star Rail-Herta for winning the chance to answer."
[ Honkai: Star Rail-Herta: It's actually me? Fine, let's do it. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail-Herta: Since everyone thinks the answer might be D, I'll choose D. ]
"Are you sure about your answer?"
[ Honkai: Star Rail-Herta: I'm sure! ]
"Congratulations, your answer is incorrect."
"Next, we will select the second respondent."
"Let us congratulate Genshin Impact-Raiden Ei for winning the chance to answer."
[ Genshin Impact-Raiden Ei: Uh. ]
[ Genshin Impact-Yae Miko: Oh my, since you don't know what to pick, why not just pick one at random? After all, with your shut-in personality, how could you possibly know so much? ]
At this moment, inside the Plane of Euthymia, Raiden Ei saw Yae Miko's provocative expression and couldn't help but clench her fists.
[ Genshin Impact-Raiden Ei: I choose B. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail-Robin: Why choose B? That answer is obviously wrong. ]
[ Genshin Impact-Yae Miko: Oh my, I told you to pick randomly, but you should at least pick an answer that looks somewhat plausible. ]
In the Grand Narukami Shrine, the pink-haired fox clutched her forehead, looking at the streaming room, speechless.
Even the others in the streaming room shook their heads, wearing expressions of watching a show.
[ Honkai Impact 3rd-Kevin: Hmm, I can only say this young lady has quite good luck. ]
The Thirteen Flame-Chasers at World Serpent were also surprised to see Raiden Ei guess correctly. After all, it's rare to get an answer right based purely on luck.
"Let us congratulate Genshin Impact-Raiden Ei for answering correctly!"
[ Honkai Impact 3rd-Rita: What? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd-Durandal: Uh, Miss Elysia really is a young lady with a lot of personality! ]
The people in the Honkai Impact 3rd world were all shocked. After all, this was a Divine Key; to think it was abandoned by its owner just because it didn't look cute.
[ Honkai Impact 3rd-Elysia: Oh my, it's just as I said. I am a beautiful girl, how could I use such an uncute weapon? ]
The people in the streaming room twitched their lips when they saw Elysia say this, as this option had been ruled out from the very beginning.
"Now playing the punishment!"
"Punishment: Honkai: Star Rail-Herta must perform spins while holding a giant hammer."
"Note: It must be the real body, not a puppet."
[ Honkai: Star Rail-Herta: !!! ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail-Herta: I am just a frail scientist. You want me to lift a giant hammer and perform spins? Isn't that trying to kill me? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail-Xuan Yong: A frail scientist? Are you referring to the frail scientist who can lift hundreds of pounds with one hand? ]
"Ding, resistance from Honkai: Star Rail-Herta detected. The streaming room will now forcibly control her to complete the punishment."
A mature woman wearing a lab coat slowly appeared on the screen. The next second, a giant hammer appeared out of thin air in front of her.
"Hmph, trying to control me? Impossible!" Seeing the hammer, Herta snorted coldly, looking disdainful as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
But the next second, her body moved forward uncontrollably, gripped the hammer, and lifted it up.
"Damn it, damn it!" Finding her body out of control, Herta immediately tried to break free, but no matter what, she couldn't.
"Kuru kuru~~ Kururin~~" Herta was seen holding the hammer and spinning continuously, her mouth shouting "Kuru kuru!" nonstop.
[ Interastral Peace Corporation Employee: This is big news! Shocking: Genius Society member # 83 forced to spin continuously for unknown reasons. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail-Ruan Mei: Why do I feel like Herta is somehow cute? ]
[ Genshin Impact-Klee: The bigger the chest, the badder the Dodoco King! Bad guy, bad guy! ]
Klee, who was preparing to blast fish by Starfell Lake, saw Herta's grand chest while she was spinning in the streaming room and couldn't help but say this.
It would have been fine, but because the video about Mobius saying Elysia was fat had just finished playing, some flat-chested women in the three worlds looked down again. Well, they could still see their feet.
"Punishment over. If there is any further resistance to the streaming room's punishments, the penalty will be doubled."
After the punishment ended, Herta collapsed to the ground. The next second, with a loud 'wah', a large amount of unidentified matter spewed from Herta's mouth, and she fainted from all the spinning.
Seeing Herta's miserable state, everyone in the streaming room felt a chill in their hearts. Although this kind of punishment wasn't fatal, the level of social death was extremely high.
"Now distributing rewards!"
"Congratulations to Raiden Ei for receiving one Raiden Makoto."
The next second, the screen instantly shifted to Raiden Ei's Plane of Euthymia. Upon hearing the streaming room's reward, Raiden Ei stood frozen in place, looking at the streaming room in disbelief.
The next second, countless cherry blossoms gathered from all directions, gradually forming a human figure.
Looking at this gradually familiar silhouette, tears fell from Raiden Ei's eyes.
"What's wrong? Ei, has it only been five hundred years and you don't recognize your sister anymore?" The figure looked at the tearful Raiden Ei with a hint of heartache, then stepped forward, wiped her tears, and said with a gentle expression.
"Sister!" Unable to suppress the excitement in her heart any longer, Raiden Ei hugged Raiden Makoto and began to cry loudly.
The scene ended there.
[ Honkai Impact 3rd-Otto: ???!!!!!! ]
[ Genshin Impact-Venti: Is there really such a thing as resurrection? ]
Although the streaming room had previously stated it possessed the ability to resurrect people, it was only real when seen with one's own eyes.
