Chapter 238

"Teacher Himeko, reality is different from ideals, and it's easy to produce deviations. But even if you embarked on a path that wasn't your ideal, that absolutely doesn't mean you made the wrong choice, and it doesn't mean your life is headed in the wrong direction."

Bai Ge looked seriously at the red-haired beauty before him, and then raised his arms to gently embrace her.

He knew her life.

He knew her greatness.

He knew her curtain call.

There is no one in this world who knows better than him just what kind of respectable teacher Murata Himeko is.

Even in the timeline without Bai Ge, that spark she ignited and passed on has been burning all along.

"Teacher Himeko, you are more beautiful and more amazing than you imagine. I will never allow anyone to deny your life, even if it's you yourself."

"It was you who taught us to fight for all the beauty in the world."

"It was you who taught us never to give up, to turn this imperfect world into what we expect it to be."

"You will always be our respected and beloved Valkyrie, Teacher Murata Himeko."

Bai Ge conveyed his feelings with the most sincere words, and the latter's heart was also shaken, with unspeakable emotions surging into Himeko's heart and spreading throughout her body.

Yeah, how could her life be wrong?

Perhaps when she first became a Valkyrie, she was just looking for the truth about her father's death, but later Himeko met a Valkyrie named Ragna.

She told Himeko that Valkyries are people who bring light to the world and shouldn't let obsession and hatred fill their blades. She told her to turn this imperfect world into what she wanted it to be.

After that, Himeko truly became a Valkyrie fighting for all the beauty in the world.

Before Bai Ge appeared, Himeko, who sensed that her time was running out, didn't choose to retire, but joined St. Freya Academy at Theresa's invitation.

While continuing to fight, she also became a teacher.

She taught this belief to one young Valkyrie after another, passing on this beauty.

"Wuwu... ahhh..."

Bai Ge heard the sobbing. He patted Himeko's back gently, and at the same time, he became more determined in his idea: he would absolutely not let this person die! He would absolutely not let her finish her lesson!

"And besides, it's just that your previous dream wasn't realized. It doesn't matter. Himeko, you now have a future, you have infinite time."

"After we defeat Honkai, you can continue to pursue your dreams. When that time comes, I'll accompany you. I also want to see the stars and the sea."

Dropped dreams or whatever.

As long as you pick them up, it'll be fine.

What Bai Ge pursues is the most perfect happy end, a beauty without a trace of regret.

After all, as he said, the current Himeko is no longer troubled by Honkai Energy erosion, and the lifespan she lost has been completely reclaimed by Bai Ge.

Even with him by her side, Himeko will have infinitely long time, and she will eventually realize her dream like the other version of herself in Honkai: Star Rail.

"Thank you, thank you Bai Ge, I really..."

Himeko hugged the youth in her arms tightly, moved tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes.

No matter how mature she appeared on weekdays, Himeko was only a 29-year-old woman.

She is not an old person who has lived a long life and can take everything lightly. On the contrary, she is an older single Valkyrie who hasn't even talked about a single relationship.

Being confused, worried, at a loss for her future path, and having questions about her past—these are all natural.

However, Bai Ge affirmed her now.

He told Himeko in the most straightforward words that her life so far was as hot as fire and as gorgeous as gold.

Bai Ge added fuel to the fire for her life that was about to reach its end, allowing her to walk toward a more distant future, a future so distant that the current Himeko couldn't imagine it at all.

Half an hour later...

"To be enlightened by my own student, this is truly losing face. Bai Ge, you are not allowed to tell anyone."

"Of course, I don't want to share the sight of Teacher Himeko holding me and crying with a second person."

"Too embarrassing, you hurry up and forget it too."

"Hehe~ that's impossible in this lifetime."
