While everyone in the Golden Courtyard surrounded Hokuto, the official forum, as usual, exploded.
Mm… maybe even more violently than previous times.
Miss Pink Elf, who had been with them for so long, suddenly disappeared.
And many of them were already fans of Miss Elf in real life—now, with Elysia in the Elysian Realm, it was like their feelings were doubled and projected onto her.
When they saw Elysia's archive shatter—
How were they supposed to endure that!!!
As a result, the official forum was now filled with…
"MiHoYo writers have no heart!"
"Give me back Elysia!!"
"How can the writers sleep at night?! I know I can't! (gritted teeth)"
...and posts of that nature.
Some even said they wanted to storm MiHoYo in real life.
But typically, such people would get talked down by forum veterans.
First, that's illegal. Second, MiHoYo's staff are people like Kiana and the others. It's hard to say if you go after MiHoYo, would you be going after the writer "Dogto," or end up confronting Kiana and the girls?
So—better not act rashly.
With Miss Elf's current popularity, forget about storming MiHoYo—even fans surrounding MiHoYo HQ doesn't sound that far-fetched.
Of course, besides these "venting from the soul" type posts, the ones really gaining momentum were the threads discussing whether the Realm would now enter [Snowy Mountain Villa Mode].
"Discussion: Will the Elysian Realm Enter 'Snowy Mountain Villa Mode' Next?"
A Captain (OP): After seeing the story, I really really want to check on the writer's mental state—but let's be honest, the way this is headed is even more worrying.
Do you all think the Elysian Realm is about to shift into "Snowy Mountain Villa Mode"?
Swallowed a Paramecium (2nd floor): This thread is gonna blow up, saving a front-row seat. But uh... what's "Snowy Mountain Villa Mode"?
Skull-Cracker Palm (3rd floor): Replying to above—"Snowy Mountain Villa Mode," also called "Isolated Island Mode," refers to a situation where a group of people are trapped in a relatively closed environment.
While there, strange events begin occurring, and members start dying off mysteriously. That means—the killer is among them. The protagonist has to investigate and reason within limited conditions.
Theresa's Dedicated Captain (4th floor): So… you're saying more of the Flame-Chasers are going to die? Don't scare me like that!!
MiHoYo Has No Humanity (5th floor): Why not just kill them all? Those archives are so beautifully done—they're probably made to shatter, aren't they? (twisted face) (twisted face)
Fighting for the World's Beauty (6th floor): Gotta say, your post and username aren't lining up very well. You're pretty inhumane yourself.
Writer Give Back Elysia (7th floor): Scary… Honkai Impact 3rd has turned Captains into "ghosts."
...
Players were passionately discussing where the story was headed, and expressed deep concern over the Flame-Chasers' safety.
Naturally, debates followed: who among the Flame-Chasers might be the traitor? Was there a traitor?
In short, discussions were as intense as ever.
And it wasn't like people discussed it today and moved on.
On the contrary—players kept posting new theories, and the ongoing conversation only grew hotter and hotter.
Faced with this kind of atmosphere...
A certain real-world cat-cat decided to ride the trend and push out a new episode of "Pardofelis Walks Into Honkai 3rd."
And sure enough, the next day in the Elysian Realm, she uploaded a new video to pilipili.
A lot of players who followed "Pardofelis Walks Into Honkai 3rd," this Honkai fan content series, swarmed to the video shortly after it dropped.
[Grandpa, the VTuber you followed finally updated.]
[Good news — Reporter Pardofelis is alive!]
[Missing person returns.]
[Who are you, and why are you in my subscriptions? (dog head)]
Amid the scrolling comments, the video slowly began.
On screen, Pardofelis—dressed as a reporter—sat across from the expressionless Kevin in front of the camera.
At that moment, viewers realized—
So it's finally Kevin's turn as a guest?
At the same time, Pardofelis's voice came through the video.
"Welcome to this episode of Pardofelis Walks Into Honkai 3rd. I'm your host, Pardofelis!"
"I'm the guest, Kevin," Kevin replied blankly.
"Hi~~ it's been a while since the last update. Did anyone miss me?"
After the introductions, Pardofelis waved at the camera, paused for a moment, and continued.
"I mean… yeah I ghosted… took me a bit to contact this guest, but I'm sure he didn't disappoint."
"According to my research, there are lots of players who like Big Bro Kevin."
Kevin followed up, "After all, Kevin has always maintained a strong and dependable image in-game—that's what makes him appealing."
"Mmhmm, that's true."
Pardofelis looked toward Kevin and brought up the current hot topic.
"For example, in the current Elysian Realm arc, with Elysia missing, I think Big Bro Kevin would definitely step up to take charge."
Kevin nodded. "Of course."
"Even if the Kevin in the Realm is just a memory, in a critical moment like this, he would still take responsibility and restore order to the Realm."
[Yes, we believe in you, Ancestor Kevin!]
[Ancestor Kevin! You have to find the culprit and avenge Elysia! My poor Elysia, sob sob.]
[Don't cry yet! I believe Elysia just 'disappeared'—she'll definitely come back.]
...
Since the video was pre-recorded—
Naturally, Pardofelis and Kevin didn't respond to the scrolling comments.
They just continued their scripted conversation.
"But Pardofelis, you should still be careful. Don't run around the Realm until this situation is resolved—you might get hurt," Kevin warned.
Pardofelis waved it off: "Big Bro Kevin, come on, you know what kind of character I am, right? With my personality, I'd never go near danger!"
"If I see anything that looks dangerous, I'll run for the hills before it even gets close—no way I'm going near that."
Kevin gave a slight nod. "True, that's one thing about you that's very reassuring."
[Is Kevin lowkey calling Pardofelis a coward? (dog head)]
[23333 Honestly, Pardofelis is so reassuringly cowardly.]
[In a Realm where the atmosphere is getting darker and darker, the more cat-cat panics, the safer she'll be.]
[Cat-cat!! I'm still counting on you to help me open every treasure chest in the Elysian Realm!!]
