Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

"I already said it wasn't a date."

Liu Bai corrected, "As for the relationship... I can only say that the already delicate relationship has become even more delicate."

"Oh...so for some reason, your relationship suddenly went from bad to difficult, right?"

Alicia was surprisingly able to understand what was being said.

Previously, the person who could communicate with Liu Bai without any problems was actually Rita.

During their conversation, they barely exchanged a single word.

However, as for Alicia... it's more like Liu Bai can't keep up with Alicia's pace.

Do you need any help?

Alicia leaned closer again, her smiling gaze meeting Liu Bai's soft eyes.

Hmm... this kind of close-up kill is also unfair.

408

Chapter 408 Liu Bai admits that he wasn't perverted enough.

"Not at the moment... it's not necessary."

Liu Bai thought... instead of waiting for Hanabi to actually eat, should he eat Alicia first?

If we use double arrows to represent the relationship.

Liu Bai estimated that his favorability towards Alicia was around 70%.

...After all, apart from being a bit unconventional, Alicia is otherwise flawless.

As for the part about finding it annoying...

If someone makes a loud noise in public, Liu Bai will solemnly declare that such matters are not to be discussed.

However, if she rode on Liu Bai's back in the middle of the night, Liu Bai wouldn't say anything about it being indecent.

Therefore, Liu Bai is also a tsundere character (not really).

"Alright then, Liu Bai, good luck winning over little Hanabi!"

Alicia enthusiastically encouraged Liu Bai, "If you encounter any trouble, just knock three times!"

"Row."

Although Liu Bai thought that Alicia might just want to have a party.

Alicia waved and went into the room, while Liu Bai remained at Alicia's door, resuming his contemplative state.

Wait another half hour. If they don't come in half an hour, I'll have Alicia for dinner.

"By the way, Peipei, are you having a falling out with your boss?"

Gui Naifen nudged her companion, Peruvé, with her elbow.

"...Don't call me by that name."

Peruvelle glared at Gui Naifen.

Normally speaking... such a gaze is quite intimidating.

But one day, someone anonymously posted in the group, "Don't you guys think Peruvé's eyes look like mushrooms?"

And now... unless Peruvée unleashes her Honkai energy to crush people, everyone who sees Peruvée glaring at someone will immediately think of mushrooms.

I can't feel scared at all.

...According to reliable sources, the person who posted this might be Liu Bai.

She really went to great lengths to bridge the gap between her "daughter" and others.

"Oh dear~ I'm just concerned about you, Peipei~"

Gui Naifen casually moved closer, then leaned on Peruvier's shoulder and whispered a few words in her ear.

"You, how did you know?"

Peruvieri, like a cat with its fur standing on end, pushed Gui Naifen away and looked as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

"Hmph~ Peipei, you don't want the boss to find out about this, do you? What if I whisper something to the boss about it someday..."

(Although I think the boss doesn't really care about this...)

Gui Naifen's threat to Peruvée was simple.

—You don't want Liu Bai to know that you used a sickle handle in front of his door, do you?

Gui Naifen was betting on Peruvieri, who seemed aloof but was actually a bit yandere and had a "father complex," and whose impression of Liu Bai was shrouded in a "halo."

Well, isn't this a common scenario? A girl trapped in hell becomes fiercely loyal to the man who saved her, following him like a madwoman through fire and water...

"Gulp... Well... It's not that I'm still being difficult..."

Peruvelle reluctantly began to speak.

She didn't want Liu Bai to think she was a female pervert.

...I did that kind of thing back then...it was just something I couldn't help myself with.

"Strictly speaking, it's that I haven't figured out how to face my father... no, Liu Bai."

"Don't you call him 'Father' anymore?"

Gui Naifen looked at Peruvier with a hint of mockery.

"...After all, we have to consider that guy's feelings."

As soon as Gui Naifen spoke, Peruvier was caught in a dilemma: she couldn't call him "Father" or Liu Bai.

(...But men generally like this kind of play, right?)

Gui Naifen, who had learned a lot during the standby period, thought to herself.

"Excuse me~ Do you guys know where Onii-chan is right now?"

A light and lively voice came from behind, interrupting their conversation.

Fireworks...

Peruvieri turned around and squinted at the girl who greeted her.

She disliked women who looked cunning at first glance.

Especially... he shamelessly calls Liu Bai "Onii-chan".

"Ah... boss."

Gui Naifen didn't have any hostility or prejudice towards Hanabi.

On the one hand, Gui Naifen didn't really have a clear impression of the Masked Fool.

On the other hand... beating Firefly is enough! I can't lose to my sisters!

"Let me think... You've been to the fireworks display..."

Peruvelle tugged at Gui Naifen.

Hanabi looked at this scene with a smile on her face: "I've been to Onii-chan's room, but I only found crumpled paper in the wastebasket."

"A crumpled piece of paper..."

Peruvéli's gaze was deep.

"Ahem, it must be scrap paper torn from a document."

Gui Naifen felt that although Peruvieri and Liuying were girls from two different directions.

But they do have some things in common...

"Yes~"

Hanabi replied with a smile, "As expected of Katsura Naofumi-neechan, she really knows Onii-chan well~"

Peruvée then realized that she had been tricked by Hanabi.

This guy……

After reminding Peruvieri, Gui Naifen continued, "If she's not in the room..."

“I heard Ms. Funina say at the cafeteria counter that Father has returned.”

Peruvéli said coldly, "They probably went to someone else's room."

"That's it~"

Hanabi's smile widened even more.

"Thank you, Sister Peipei!"

Hanabi skipped and hopped away.

...Although it looks like a little rabbit, it might actually be a hunter like a "headhunter rabbit".

Gui Naifen was somewhat familiar with Hanabi's temperament, so her expression showed a hint of confusion.

"...Is it really okay to tell her this?"

"Do you remember what Ms. Funina was complaining about when we first met her?"

“Let me think… ‘Clorind, am I disliked?… Mr. Liu Bai won’t even pretend to answer the phone…’”

Gui Naifen perfectly mimicked Funina's dejected and frustrated tone.

Peruvieri nodded: "Although I think... Liu Bai is lacking in many areas, he would never leave without a reason—except for one particular matter."

"...The elixir of love?"

Gui Naifen belatedly realized what was happening.

At the same time, Gui Naifen blushed a little at her own slowness.

Being lectured by a girl younger than herself made Gui Naifen, who was always the older sister at home, feel a little embarrassed.

But in fact, Peruvian envied Gui Naifen's slowness in this regard—in her view, this slowness was actually proof of intimacy.

"You think... the person who took the love potion might be Hanabi?"

With Peruvieri leading the way, Gui Naifen's thinking also unfolded in this direction.

"Yes, because Liu Bai can tell who has taken the Love Elixir, right?"

Peruvée crossed her arms.

If it weren't for this, Peruvieri would have already gone and made her own love potion.

—Although still young, Peruvieri’s all-around abilities have already begun to show.

She... still wanted to try her best to attract Liu Bai's attention.

"Wait a minute, wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

Gui Naifen thought about it again and realized that something was wrong.

You want someone who's taken the love potion to see Liu Bai?

Isn't this just setting things up for trouble?

“Father… Liu Bai has come back on his own initiative. Obviously, this means he is not prepared to be passively confronted… Father can handle that brat.”

……Really?

As Liu Bai's wife, Gui Naifen had some doubts about his resistance in this regard.

……

"This is……"

After lingering for a while, Peruvieri, who had caught up with Hanabi, looked at the scene before her with a livid expression.

Why are things like this?

Peruvéli stared at the scene before her, her face turning ashen.
