Honkai Simulator: I'm Really not Seele!

"No way... My second brother is really... completely gone?"

Under the powerful shielding of the [True Self] talent, it wasn't until Lunelle went to the bathroom and was about to relieve herself that she finally grasped the cruel reality—her second brother was utterly dead.

As someone who had always prided herself on self-discipline, she would often talk about having many wives, but in truth, she was just a nerd who had never even held a girl's hand.

Lunelle had never truly commanded her "second brother" in any way—not because she was above it, but simply because she was too much of a shut-in, obsessed with promoting her 2D wife every day.

But just because she had never used it didn't mean she could easily accept the brutal truth that her "second brother" had disappeared forever, without even a proper farewell!

She hadn't even had the chance to introduce the legendary Five-Fingered Girl to him yet!

It turns out that some things... you only realize their value once they're completely lost.

Like now—Lunelle was experiencing that very feeling firsthand.

She had worked so hard, desperately trying to restore the stamina of a loser.

She had even started fantasizing that with her current physical strength—six times that of an adult male—she would one day be able to conquer a wife.

Wouldn't it be possible to control her in mere minutes and easily establish herself as the head of the household?

Yet, all those beautiful dreams vanished the moment her "second brother" departed.

No matter how much she wailed, some things were simply irreversible. She had to learn to accept that.

After all, what was the point of this expression on her face?

Would her tears bring back what was lost?

She was no longer a little boy. Crying wouldn't solve anything.

Pretending to stay calm, Lunelle began pacing back and forth, running in circles, rolling around silently in the cramped rental room...

She kept telling herself it was fine. It was just a "second brother"—someone the Five-Fingered Girl had never even met.

But still... she wanted to cry!

In an instant, Lunelle broke down into bitter sobs.

"This is too cruel!!!"

"Second brother! My second brother!"

"How am I supposed to live without you?!"

"QAQ"

After wailing for a while, mourning the irreversible loss, Lunelle slowly came to terms with reality.

After all, when she had pushed her body to the brink of death and risked everything on that final simulation, she had already mentally prepared herself for this possibility.

Now that things had played out this way, there was no point in lingering on outdated regrets.

But if there was a three-second rule that allowed people to pick food off the floor and eat it, then surely enlightenment that had expired by just three minutes could still be salvaged, right?

At the very least, she could use it as a form of psychological comfort!

Fortunately, the simulation system, Systema, had already planted the "seed" of a girl within her. When Lunelle finally realized she had become one, that seed, having already sprouted and grown, played an enormous role.

A normal person suddenly transforming into a girl would definitely experience a period of adjustment.

But for Lunelle? That adaptation phase had been skipped entirely!

For instance, when she first woke up, she subconsciously tried to stand while relieving herself, just as she had always done as a boy.

For most people, breaking a habit ingrained over more than ten years would take time. Even after weeks, muscle memory would still trigger involuntary reflexes.

However, thanks to the existence of the "seed" in her subconscious, Lunelle already had over a decade's worth of muscle memory as a girl built into her mind.

With her [True Self] talent continuing to evolve, her entire being was shifting to reflect the truest image of herself—a girl through and through!

Soon, she made an eerie discovery.

She possessed an almost terrifying natural talent for being a girl.

Like when she had first tried to relieve herself. With no instruction, no outside guidance, she instinctively understood how to do it correctly on the second attempt.

At first, Lunelle was irritated by this development.

It felt like the simulator was mocking her, deliberately kicking her when she was down.

But no matter how much she cursed, her body responded with unyielding honesty, forcing her to accept the transformation.

And whether she liked it or not, she was undeniably becoming an adorable and beautiful girl...

Thanks to Lunelle's [True Self] talent and the simulation system, she managed to survive the initial outbreak of the third Honkai event right at home.

Even though Cocolia had buried a Honkai bomb—an explosive device designed to release high-density Honkai energy in a short period—the peak of the energy burst occurred during the initial outbreak.

As time passed, the previously overwhelming concentration of Honkai energy, enough to birth a Herrscher, had already decreased by several levels.

But since the Herrscher of Thunder had successfully formed a Herrscher Core, the ambient Honkai energy had stabilized at a level still lethal to ordinary humans.

Fortunately, Lunelle had long since surpassed the limits of a normal person. Even when exposed to dangerous amounts of Honkai energy, she only felt slightly uncomfortable, with no other major side effects.

A proper protagonist in a novel would seize this opportunity to test their newfound strength, finding weaklings to crush as a measure of their growth.

But Lunelle? She was a self-proclaimed "Shilipo Sword God"—not someone who would recklessly step outside just to satisfy her own vanity.

Instead, she prioritized survival.

Her tiny, worn-out home hadn't collapsed yet, and she needed to strategize how to remain hidden in this desolate suburban area for as long as possible.

Rushing out to crush some small fry and flaunt her power, only to risk being noticed by Cocolia, was simply a foolish move.

Wouldn't it be better to use the simulator to grow even stronger in secret?

But with the Honkai outbreak in full swing, there was no such thing as a "beginner's protection period."

Right now, Lunelle didn't dare to fall into a deep twelve-hour sleep with the Honkai disaster raging outside.

What if a Honkai Beast or an assassin appeared out of nowhere? She wouldn't even know how she died!

Fortunately, the simulator's cooldown time didn't strictly require deep sleep to pass—it just accelerated when she rested.

Now that she had survived the most dangerous phase, she no longer needed to recklessly gamble her life to shave off a little cooldown time.

As long as she endured until the three noble families were taken away from Nagazora City by Schicksal...

She could find a secluded place, build her strength in secret, and wait for the perfect moment to shock the world!

Just as Lunelle was reveling in the thought of her grand reemergence—

At Chiba Academy, the main storyline of the Honkai Impact 3rd big three had already begun to unfold.
