Once a traveler from beyond the stars, now the Supreme Bishop of the Fontaine Cathedral, his name strikes fear into the hearts of all.
[Story]
『Character Details』
Even without setting foot in Fontaine, the name of the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine is known far and wide across Teyvat.
People everywhere fear him. The existence of the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine is enough to make anyone, from any nation, feel an instinctive sense of dread.
However, if you step into the Court of Fontaine, you'll be surprised to find that this figure who strikes fear into foreigners is, within Fontaine, a beloved celebrity.
In Fontaine, there are two superstars at the pinnacle of society: one is Lady Furina, adored by all in Fontaine, and the other is the Supreme Bishop, feared by all nations. The dramatic performances they often stage at the Opera Epiclese have become an indelible part of Fontaine's collective memory.
『Character Story 1』
When he first arrived in this world, the first person he saw was Furina. After waking from a ten-year coma, the first person he saw was still Furina.
Was this fate, or was it all part of a scheme?
He pondered this question but didn't dwell on it, for he knew full well that true gods existed in this world.
Even the slightest thought in his mind would be instantly known to them. Such gods were very much real.
He had grown accustomed to letting all his thoughts flow freely, whether true or false.
Even he himself didn't know which of his thoughts were real and which were false.
If he knew the truth, then the "gods" would know as well. Such a basic mistake was something he would never make.
So, he simply held onto a simple thought.
Since he couldn't leave this world for now, he might as well find a place to settle down, preferably with a job that provided food and shelter—with that simple thought, he stayed in Fontaine, becoming the Supreme Bishop appointed by Furina, and thus began his five-hundred-year-long career as a corporate slave, a decision he would come to regret.
『Character Story 2』
Work was exhausting, and five hundred years of continuous work was pure torture.
Ye felt that enduring five hundred years before asking to retire was a testament to his loyalty to Lady Furina, but she outright rejected his request.
"You can talk about retiring when I retire."
Upon hearing this, Ye understood: this woman wasn't satisfied with suffering alone and wanted to drag him down with her. Whether they could share joy was uncertain, but they would definitely share hardship—whether he wanted to or not.
Extremely dissatisfied, Ye immediately took Lady Furina to court, accusing her of forced labor.
...And then, thanks to yet another behind-the-scenes manipulation by the God of Justice, Furina, he found himself back in the Fortress of Meropide.

[Voice Lines]
「Greeting」
"Want to be my companion? I'm more than willing, as long as... you're prepared to be used by me. Of course, I also welcome you to use me anytime."
「Chat: Tea Party」
"Lady Furina loves hosting tea parties, and I'm a regular guest. It's probably because she's so busy, with her schedule packed every day, that she cherishes these moments of leisure. Hmm? Me? Of course, I cherish these lazy moments too, though I wish Lady Furina wouldn't invite me during my off-hours next time. Invitations like these should come during work hours instead."
「Chat: Teyvat」
"You're asking if I know the truth of this world? Well, I do. If you want to hear it, I can tell you. But... are you sure you want to give up your journey of finding the answer yourself and just take it from me? Just so you know, the answer you find on your own and the one I give you might not be the same."
「Chat: The Knights of the Cathedral」
"They were just a spur-of-the-moment creation. Why did I make them? Well, I was bored, thought it'd be fun, and it helped pass the time and relieve work stress. Hmm? You're asking if I only see Astrea and the others as tools? That's a flawed question. To me, everything in this world falls into two categories: tools I can use now and tools I might use in the future. It's all the same. Oh, and that includes me too."
「When it thunders…」
"Can't help but think of an old friend."
「When it snows…」
"Can you take a photo of me? I'll send it to Lady Furina to make her jealous."
「When the sun is shining…」
"Where's Neuvillette? Go call him over to spray some water."
「When the wind blows hard…」
"Is this a reminder that I should go collect that drunkard's debt?"
「Good morning…」
"If there's no work, don't wake me up. My affection for you just dropped."
「Good afternoon…」
"Want something to eat? I can cook for you. Don't worry, my skills were honed in food anime. You won't be disappointed."
「Good evening…」
"Want to play some together? I'll invite Lady Furina. You go find two more people. Huh? Neuvillette? ...Do you really want to experience what it's like to fight four against six?"
「Good night…」
"Don't call me tomorrow. Let me sleep in."
「About Ye: Swordsmanship」
"I did use a sword for a long time in the past, but that was ages ago. Honestly, it's been so long since I last held a sword. Hmm? How does my swordsmanship compare to Sen'emon's? Well... that's a good question. What do you think?"
「About Us: Relationship」
"We're already friends. Feel free to call for me anytime. Hmm? You're saying I called you a tool before? Tools can be friends, and friends can be tools. There's no contradiction there, right?"
「About Us: Traveling Together」
"Let's go. I'll accompany you on your journey until you decide it's time to end it."
「About the Vision…」
"It's a peculiar kind of power. I like how it can create miracles. I won't be getting one, but for you... since you haven't yet found your true wish and are still lost, perhaps when your journey ends, you'll obtain your own Vision."
「Something to Share: Xiangling」
"To be honest, I've been thinking about how to lure Xiangling from Wanmin Restaurant to Fontaine. Even though her cooking can be hit or miss, her relentless pursuit of innovation is exactly what I admire. Got any ideas?"
「Interesting Observations: Trials」
"Trials in Fontaine are a unique cultural phenomenon. If you ever visit Fontaine, you might be surprised by how strange it seems. But here, it's completely normal. It's one of the major influences Lady Furina has had on Fontaine."
「About Furina…」
"After looking at the gods of other nations, you'll notice something interesting: Lady Furina, who does no work at all, is actually the most hardworking ruler in all of Teyvat—she hasn't had a single day off in five hundred years."
「About Venti…」
"That wind god who's always spouting nonsense and drinking, when is he going to pay back the Mora he owes me? Huh? You're saying I'm even better at spouting nonsense than him? Heh."
「About Zhongli…」
"Before dining with Zhongli, make sure to remind him to bring Mora. It's not that he doesn't have any—he just doesn't bring it... Hu Tao really treats him like a father to put up with his expense reports."
「About Ei…」
"As someone who's been holed up for five hundred years, her mental state is quite concerning. Otherwise, she wouldn't have such a strong desire to kill me. Hmm? You're saying it's my fault? Well... I did help relieve some of her stress, so it's a win-win, right?"
「About Astrea…」
"As the first puppet I created, I have high expectations for her. Though she's a tool, she's also my daughter. There's no contradiction there, is there?"
「About Themis…」
"Themis lacks confidence in herself, but her spirit is actually very strong. She's long been capable of standing on her own without her sister. Still, it's fine as it is now. Astrea's personality is a bit worrying, so having Themis around gives me some peace of mind."
「About Fanseti…」
"Among the Knights of the Cathedral, she's the one I trust the most. Her only flaw is that she's too gentle. But that's unavoidable—if she weren't so gentle, the world would be in trouble."
「About Yae Miko…」
"She's a cunning fox—oh wait, she is a fox. Anyway, even if you believe me, don't trust her. Otherwise, you might end up helping her count Mora while she sells you out. What's with that look? You think I'm less trustworthy than her?"
「About the Servant…」
"She's a smart woman. I like smart people because they're the easiest to use."
「About Scaramouche…」
"He's a simple person. I like simple people because they're the easiest to use."
「About the Doctor…」
"He's someone I can use too, but if I ever run into him, it's better to just kill him. Why? Well, even if it's just fifty steps laughing at a hundred, there's still something to laugh about. Dottore is probably the only person I can laugh at—thanks to him, I can even feel like a good person. Thinking about it, I'm actually a bit reluctant to kill him now."
「About the Fair Lady…」
"There's not much to say. Though she has some value to be used, I've already exploited most of it. Now... after she's served her final purpose, I'll just pray that she can reunite with her lover. I do have a bit of kindness in me, after all."
「Want to Know More About Ye: Part 1」
"Interested in me? That's normal. After all, it seems like everyone in this world is interested in me. But let me give you some advice: it's better not to try to understand me. Even I don't understand myself."
「Ye's Hobbies…」
"I really like Sister Ganyu. I've always wanted to ask her how to turn work into a hobby, but I've never had the chance."
「Ye's Troubles…」
"How can I get Lady Furina sent to the Fortress of Meropide just once?"
「Favorite Food…」
"I like any food I haven't tried before."
「Least Favorite Food…」
"I dislike anything that doesn't taste good to me."
「Receiving a Gift: Part 1」
"You've got a creative spirit. Though the taste could use some work, I still like it."
「Receiving a Gift: Part 2」
"Keep at it. Try to make something that can satisfy me."
「Receiving a Gift: Part 3」
"Listen to me, just give up on being creative. Following the recipe is fine too."
「Birthday」
"Do you like the flowers? Good, my effort wasn't wasted. Don't forget to return the favor on my birthday. No need for anything complicated—just give me Mora."
「Ascension Thoughts: Beginning」
"…"
「Ascension Thoughts: Development」
"…"
「Ascension Thoughts: Climax」
"…"
「Ascension Thoughts: Conclusion」
"Did something just happen? I feel like I've regained a bit of strength."
Elysia listened patiently to all these voice lines during her livestream, chatting with her viewers as she did.
"As expected of the Supreme Bishop! He's got that charm that makes him impossible to pin down!"
"I've always felt this way since the game launched, but now, after reading his character stories and listening to his voice lines, the chemistry between the Supreme Bishop and Furina is even stronger! Does Kiana even care about me at all?"
"If Fanseti weren't gentle, the world would be in trouble? What does that mean... Is it like Rea's situation? Is she also affected by sin? Rea represents pride, Themis represents envy, so is Fanseti wrath?"
"It's clear that even though the Supreme Bishop claims to see everything as tools, he still has his own moral boundaries. He doesn't truly see Rea and the others as mere tools."
"Sister Ganyu's reputation keeps rising—even the Supreme Bishop calls her 'Sister Ganyu'!"
"As expected of the Supreme Bishop. What does he mean by 'regaining a bit of strength'?"
"By the way, have you noticed? The Supreme Bishop's affection level starts at 10, and all his voice lines are unlocked from the beginning. The only locked stories are tied to unfinished storylines. What does this mean? It means he has feelings for me! He loves me!"
Ignoring the teasing in the chat, Elysia continued with a smile:
"As for the Supreme Bishop not having Constellations, meaning you don't need to pull for duplicates to max him out, don't get too excited. Let me tell you a secret: Kiana is really good at making money. The Supreme Bishop's Constellations are basically Astrea's Constellations."
"The Knights of the Cathedral are the Supreme Bishop's signature weapons. The number of Constellations they unlock determines their refinement level—yes, the Supreme Bishop's signature weapon can be refined up to level 6, and he has nine of them. If you max them all out... I strongly suspect this is Kiana's way of reclaiming her salary."
"Of course, I don't mind. After all, I already have all the female characters in Genshin Impact at max Constellations."
「Elysia, the number one lesbian at miHoYo, eyeing the Supreme Bishop while collecting all the beauties for herself.」
「What's wrong with being into both? I'm the same—I want both the Supreme Bishop and Elysia!」
「To the person above: trust me, you can't handle either of them.」
Elysia's livestream was as lively as ever.
Unbothered, after pulling the Supreme Bishop, reading his character stories, and equipping Themis to him, Elysia moved on to the real purpose of this stream.
"Following 'Genshin Clash' and 'Yu-Gi-Oh!', Kiana has released a third mini-game in version 2.2. This one is called 'Honkai Impact 3rd'. Unlike the previous two, Kiana describes it as a healthy, uplifting game meant to help players relax."
Elysia smiled and said:
"Let me tell you another secret: this time, Kiana didn't forget about me. In this mini-game, there's finally a character modeled after me. Though she appears later in the story, Kiana said she's designed a highlight scene for me, and she'll make me an eternal classic in 'Honkai Impact 3rd'. Even though it's just a mini-game, I'm quite satisfied. With a bit more effort, having me in Genshin Impact won't just be a dream."
With that, Elysia started the mini-game and began playing.
Elysia was a girl who always smiled, even while gaming. She happily progressed through the story, openly expressing her love for the characters like Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Himeko, and Fu Hua.
She laughed and laughed... until gradually, her laughter faded.
"...I have a bad feeling about this."
After finishing the final chapter of the version 2.2 update, "The Final Lesson," Elysia took a deep breath, then another.
Then, wiping away her tears, she spoke through gritted teeth, her voice trembling:
"Kiana!"
"When you said you'd make me an eternal classic... you didn't mean it like this, did you?"
