[Authority of Creation (Green ~ Unknown / Growth-Type Permanent Talent): A unique power of authority born from your original consciousness. You hold the ability to influence and even shape life to a certain degree, guided by your will.]
[Current authority level (green)]
[The host gains the [Authority of Creation (Green)] derivative authority talent: Super Recovery.]
[Super Recovery (Green/Growable Permanent Talent): Drawn from the power of creation, when the host's will to survive is strong enough, their physical recovery speed is dramatically increased, and the healing rate of wounds after trauma is significantly accelerated.]
[Obtained derived passive talent: Breath of Creation.]
[Breath of Creation (Green/Growth Passive Talent): The host's body passively emits special life waves tied to the power of creation. When a beautiful girl approaches the host, her favorability towards the host increases, aiding the talent's evolution.]
[Due to the current talent level, no additional specialization effect is applied.]
With the simulation officially ending.
After tallying the talent rewards gained from this simulation, which was meant to be my final one, I began the process.
It was the first time Lunelle felt that this simulator wasn't quite as frustrating to use.
"Now, this is what a transmigrator's golden finger should truly look like."
But before Lunelle could continue, her consciousness was unceremoniously shoved back into the real world.
Upon her return to the broken body that had lost too much blood and was on the brink of death.
[Ah! I'm dying, dying, dying! This is way too painful!]
Unable to speak due to her grievous injuries, Lunelle could only howl helplessly in her heart while lying on the ground.
Only now did she feel a flicker of regret for her reckless decision to leap forward and block the blade for Kiana.
Of course, Lunelle didn't regret pushing away her would-be future wife, but she regretted not adjusting her angle slightly when taking the blow.
Now, she lay on the ground, unable to turn her head due to the severity of her injuries, and thus unable to see the battlefield.
Lunelle couldn't confirm whether her desperate act had, in fact, saved Kiana from a fatal wound.
Moreover, she vaguely recalled that when Mei's Herrscher mark of authority had materialized during her legalization, Mihoyo had intentionally emphasized her appeal, showing off Mei's figure in a way that highlighted her outfit.
Truthfully, it was rare to get such an opportunity to see Mei in that state.
As a little pervert at heart, Lunelle wouldn't want to miss such a rare moment, but unfortunately, despite all the rewards she gained in this simulation, her injuries were far too fatal for a normal person to survive.
Yet, the [Super Recovery] talent from [Authority of Creation] was still in its green stage.
Though Lunelle's will to survive played a crucial role, it was unrealistic for such a horrific injury to be healed quickly, especially with a green-level talent.
Thus, despite Lunelle's best efforts to summon every ounce of will to survive, she lost consciousness due to blood loss, less than ten seconds after returning to her body.
...
"Eh? W-why...?"
Kiana, rushing forward and bracing herself for the worst, suddenly felt something strange. It was as if she hadn't been injured at all.
Through the sensations flowing through her body, Kiana realized that just before the fatal blow, a small, soft figure had pushed her aside.
The only person who could have done that was…!
Kiana's pupils constricted as she turned back in panic.
Seeing the tiny figure, lying in a pool of blood, on the verge of death…
"Why? Why did Seele fall here?!"
Kiana froze, her heart sinking in an instant.
In truth, it was Lunelle's fierce struggle for survival that allowed her to last for ten precious seconds. Even though Lunelle passed out, her body's survival instincts triggered the effects of [Super Recovery].
This was enough to keep her from dying, though her injuries were still dire.
With time, Lunelle would eventually heal, but it would take a while.
However, the two beautiful girls who witnessed Lunelle's tragic state couldn't know this. To them, Lunelle seemed to be as good as dead.
Even Kiana, who was typically tough and unyielding, didn't think anyone could survive after losing so much blood.
More so, Lunelle, being so small and delicate compared to Kiana, seemed even more fragile.
The sight of Lunelle lying there, broken and lifeless after saving her, filled Kiana with a terror and sorrow that was indescribable.
It felt like losing everything precious in one moment.
Though Lunelle and Kiana had only known each other for less than two days, Kiana couldn't shake the feeling that Lunelle was incredibly important to her.
In a fleeting moment, Kiana even wondered if losing Mei would hurt less than losing Lunelle. (Mei:???)
Why?
Why does it hurt so much?
Why can't I remember?
"AH!!!!!!!!"
At that moment, Kiana collapsed, utterly overwhelmed by the pain in her heart.
