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

“Eleanor… I haven’t heard that name in a long time.”

Karen lazily smoothed her long hair.

"What do you want to know? How to screw her over? Or just to get to know her?"

“If I wanted to kill her, Ms. Karen, do you believe she would die in an accident within ten minutes?”

Given Eleanor's strength, Liu Bai could easily kill her with a single command from the Herrschers.

Don't treat those who are not properly controlled by the Law Enforcers...

Killing a mediocre A-rank Valkyrie is not much harder for Domination than killing a pig.

"I believe it, of course I believe it."

Liu Bai's words made Karen smile.

"So, you want to know more about her?"

"Yes, for some well-known reasons..."

“Straightforward, huh?” Kallen said knowingly. “That girl was like that five hundred years ago. Although she would hide her likes and dislikes, that cold face of hers was worse than not hiding it at all… Well, I wasn’t qualified to comment on her back then.”

I was quite naive back then.

"Let me think... where should I begin when it comes to Eleanor?"

Karen stroked her long, white hair and began to ponder.

"First of all, she came from a commoner background."

"Yes, I know that."

"And then... she was one of the few successful cases of recovery from the Black Death."

The Black Death...?

Liu Bai paused for a moment, then remembered this setting that had been forgotten by the Honkai Impact series for many years.

The Black Death is the same as the Honkai disease.

Most plagues are related to Honkai.

Even in the visual novel of Anti-Entropy, it is explained that the instigators of the world war were found to have mild symptoms of Honkai infection afterward.

Although this setting has become increasingly less noticeable as the plot progresses.

"I don't need to say more about the person who cured her, it's Otto."

"Is this the source of her loyalty?"

"The life-saving grace was only one aspect; more importantly... Otto's eyes truly shone with the light of humanity at that time."

Karen seemed to be reminiscing about the past.

I used to play with Otto a lot when we were little, but we drifted apart as we grew up.

This is probably what growing up is all about, right?

The scale and influence of Destiny now seem to indicate that it is on the right side.

"Well, anyway, these are all old, trivial matters."

Karen waved her hand, indicating to Liu Bai not to worry about such trivial matters.

"Back to Eleanor, in Eleanor's eyes, Otto's idol status is very strong. It might be difficult for you to turn her against you, but just getting close to him..."

"Commoner background?" Bai seemed to realize something as well.

"Bingo~ She actually has a very simple sense of right and wrong when it doesn't involve Otto—of course, as long as Otto is involved, she will subconsciously try to make amends for Otto."

Karen snapped her fingers.

"So getting close to Eleanor isn't difficult. Just show the right amount of enthusiasm and affection. As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. She's not as cold as she seems... Of course, just don't mention me to her."

"You two still haven't settled your score..."

“It can’t be cleared up, it can’t be cleared up.” Karen waved her hands repeatedly. “My differences with her… although they are smaller than my differences with Otto, the degree of incompatibility may be greater than with Otto.”

"Specifically...?"

"Well... Otto and I are actually in a conflict of principles. He doesn't agree with my principles, and I don't agree with his. There's really nothing I can do about it; Otto has never been easily swayed."

Karen shrugged and then smiled helplessly.

"As for Eleanor and me... it's very simple that she didn't like me. I guess I didn't have much of a sense of the big picture back then. Well, in that respect, I'm quite grateful to Otto. He matured much earlier than me."

The reason of "disliking someone" is extremely unreasonable, yet it's a reason that's completely impossible to refute.

“...Your path and Otto’s path.” Bai focused more on this point.

If Kallen hadn't died, Otto's goal would indeed have been to eliminate the Honkai.

However, Otto's methods are rather ruthless and realistic—which is why Kallen and Otto broke up in the original story.

So now these two are preparing to prove their own path in their own way?

"...Speaking of which, I feel like something's not quite right." Karen suddenly muttered, stroking her chin. "Well, whatever, Otto can't outmaneuver me anyway."

People who say things like that usually don't survive more than three episodes...

"Let's not discuss the morality of things yet. Good luck, young man, try your best to deal with Eleanor!"

Chapter 305 Herrscher of Domination, Keqing-chan

wedding?

No, no! That's not the point.

The focus should be on Eleanor.

As Keqing lay in bed pondering Eleanor's questions, the shame of being tied up lessened considerably.

Just as Ke Qing was pondering how she, in Liu Bai's shoes, would deal with Eleanor, the sounds from the living room ceased.

Is this... already over?

Ke Qing's heart was in turmoil again.

Should I start struggling now or continue to lie low?

The struggle remained unchanged; there was no way to escape, and it might even allow Liu Bai to discover them sooner.

But if I don't move... wouldn't that make me seem very submissive? It doesn't look like I've been kidnapped at all.

Maybe I'll be seen as a pervert?

(What... what should we do?)

Ke Qing felt somewhat lost.

"Liu Bai, what is my mother thinking? She stopped the doctor's treatment after a while. What am I even doing here?"

After finishing the call, Kiana sprawled out on the sofa, completely unceremoniously.

"This is called an observation period, not a halt."

"Do you think I'm so easy to fool?!"

"I think she's pretty easy to fool—by the way, Kiana, have you been dreaming lately?"

"Dreaming?" Kiana was taken aback. "Oh—I had forgotten about it! It's been so long since I dreamed about that gentle and handsome guy."

"..."

What does "I'd forgotten it if you hadn't mentioned it" mean?

That's really hurtful.

"Hey, Liu Bai, why would I suddenly have that kind of dream?" Kiana stroked her chin, scratching her chest without any regard for her image. "Could it be... could it be that I'm going through puberty!?"

"..."

Kiana's way of thinking is so unconventional that it's hard to argue with her.

"Oh, and then what? You're planning to find a son-in-law for your parents?"

"Uh……"

Kiana finally sat up from the sofa after hearing this.

"There's really no need for that..."

"So what did you want to do during your adolescence?"

"I..." Kiana was speechless for a moment.

It's true, what can I do even if I reach puberty?

"Ah...what a boring world, let it be destroyed."

Lying down again.

However, it seems that Mebius's treatment is quite effective. At least Sirin is more stable now and no longer floats up at night when Kiana is sleeping.

"But then again, if a handsome and gentle man were to throw himself at me, I might be willing to take a chance."

"Oh."

"Your reaction is so perfunctory! Can't you give me a little more of a response?"

"Who else is the handsome guy next to you besides me?" Bai looked at Kiana as if she were an idiot—anyway, Kiana wasn't exactly bright.

"You're too much... um..."

Kiana wanted to scold Liu Bai for being too narcissistic, but suddenly realized that what Liu Bai said seemed to be true.

Due to her living environment, Kiana barely knows any men.

"...Fine, fine, if that's how you put it, then I might reluctantly allow you to marry into my family."

Kiana promptly changed her tune and began to take advantage of Liu Bai.

What is this girl saying...? The "Kafka" next to her had a slightly strange look in her eyes.

Is this something you can just say casually?

If Liu Bai really agrees, wouldn't he be putting himself in danger?

...Seriously, can this girl change her habit of speaking without thinking?

"Did you hear my conversation with Karen just now?"

"...I heard you, what's wrong?" Kiana asked, puzzled. "Don't try to scare me with that old hag Kallen, I...I'm not buying it."

"Ms. Karen should call me brother-in-law according to seniority, so what about you?"

"Uh... old... old thing?"

"..." Bai sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Why did I suddenly become so blinded by greed and want to take advantage of this guy?

“Li...Kafka, throw her out.”

"clear."

Rita bowed slightly to Liu Bai, then walked to Kiana's side and grabbed Kiana by the back of her collar without saying a word.

"Wait! What... what do you want to do?"

Why does this way of lifting people look so familiar?

Kiana grimaced, wanting to fight back, but was too afraid to resist, and was immediately thrown out by Rita.

After closing the door, Rita sighed, "Please excuse my rudeness... Kiana has always been like this, so please don't take some of her words too seriously."

"Don't worry, I can tell which of her words she thinks through and which she doesn't."

Liu Bai understood what Rita was thinking and calmly nodded.

"By the way, we still have some time today, aren't we going to the lingerie store?"

"Hmm... never mind, I won't go now." Rita glanced at her watch and shook her head.

It's getting a bit late after all this.
