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

It doesn't matter if it's a sickle or not, as long as it's a long weapon.

"……forget it."

Liu Bai refused outright. There was really no point in fighting Rita. They had already fought before. He could beat Rita if they were of the same element, but if Rita got serious, he would only get beaten badly.

They're the type who, despite making the right decisions, end up getting worse and worse.

"Instead of using sickle techniques, we will use the axe and spear techniques of the Undying Blade."

As the vice-captain of the Undying Blade, she also had some knowledge of the axe and spear.

"Furthermore... why don't you try attacking me head-on? Sometimes your parrying skills alone aren't enough to solve the problem."

"..."

Liu Bai paused for a moment, then became interested.

Hmm, if I could beat Rita in this aspect... that would be an achievement reward!

"Then, try?"

…………

ten minutes later

Damn, I forgot that the full name of my parry skill is "Sword Parry".

Liu Bai, lying on the ground, stared blankly at his wooden stick.

I originally planned to cheat and deflect a few important attacks—after all, counter-attacking doesn't mean being defenseless.

As a result, they forgot that long weapons are not applicable to weapons that can deflect swords and blades.

Damn! Why isn't it a full weapon parry?!

"...Did you understand?" Rita pulled Liu Bai up.

Although Liu Bai was badly beaten, Rita wasn't much better off either.

There are also many white marks left by the lime packets tied to the front of the wooden sticks on the maid outfits.

"Pretty much the same, a simple axe technique with great force... Honestly, do you really need to teach me that? You clearly just want to beat me up, don't you?"

Rita's Affection Level: 4850

"You've misunderstood, Mr. Liu Bai."

Rita flashed a foxy smile.

"Others may not be able to fully demonstrate this axe technique. How about you try out the stormtroopers' swordsmanship and Lord Ragnar's hand-to-hand combat skills next?"

"..."

Ragnar's favorability: 3840

In the end, Liu Bai still chose to train.

"...What did you do to my brother?"

Natasha looked at Liu Bai, who was sleeping and being carried back by Ragnar in a princess carry, and her expression was not very friendly.

"Um... well," Ragnar said somewhat awkwardly, "I was a little too eager to try something..."

"Your brother is awesome!"

Rita, standing nearby, laughed and interrupted.

“…Huh!?” Natasha raised an eyebrow, her previously calm tone turning displeased. “Rita, how do you want to die?”

"This is the unanimous assessment from both the Undying Blade and the Stormtroopers."

"you--!"

“Well… shouldn’t we let Mr. Liu Bai go back and rest?” Ragnar interrupted the two.

"...Yes, come in and take it to the bedroom on the left."

Natasha stepped aside to let Ragnar in.

Then Rita and Eden followed them in.

"Eden, what on earth has happened?"

"Liu Bai was just exhausted and fell asleep," Dian replied nonchalantly, sitting on the sofa.

Rita, without any hesitation, sat next to Eden.

“Exhausted…?” Natasha’s expression became even stranger.

You two went out to train, and you, the one who got trained, seem to be doing fine.

On the contrary, it was Liu Bai, the "instructor," who fainted from exhaustion.

Are you fucking not doing anything weird to Liu Bai behind my back?

"If you're going to think about things in a strange way, why don't you think about whether they would give Liu Bai back if it were really what you're thinking?"

Eden rolled his eyes at Natasha and the overly familiar Rita.

These two are crazy – one dares to say it and the other dares to believe it.

Rita sighed in boredom.

Natasha's lips twitched, but she had to admit that Eden was absolutely right.

If she were in her shoes, she would definitely have run away with Liu Bai.

"...Looking at it this way, you're not a bad person at all."

"Isn't that natural?"

Rita responded with a smile.

Natasha: "..."

Ugh, even though I was the one who praised him first, the way he readily admitted it was so annoying.

A short while later, Ragnar came out of the bedroom.

“Mr. Liu Bai is sleeping soundly,” Ragnar said. “I apologize, the intensity of today’s sparring session with Mr. Liu Bai was a bit too high, and I didn’t take into account his physical condition.”

Rita glanced at Ragnar with a smile, not wanting to expose him.

Did this person not consider this?

This person had a preconceived notion that Liu Bai was trained like Bianca, a beast of burden—although in some ways Liu Bai was even more beastly than Bianca.

"It's alright, thank you for taking care of my younger brother."

Natasha's tone was perfectly normal towards Ragnar, an adult who seemed perfectly normal from every angle.

—Heaven knows why Rita always thinks about making fun of herself.

Well, if given the chance, she wouldn't miss the opportunity to mock Rita.

After all, the matter of the sheep being drugged by the king was a strategic one, but the woman lost.

Rita lost strategically but won from a female perspective—because Liu Bai ended up going out with Rita.

Fortunately, she was under the influence of drugs; otherwise, if things had really turned out this way, she would have been fooled, Liu Bai would have run off with another woman, and Natasha would have truly lost.

Rita could only be thankful that her partner was Liu Bai; otherwise, in that state, she might have lost her virginity and gone into a state of exhaustion.

In any other situation, this would be a feud—although even so, it's still a grudge to some extent now, not to mention that they are both the kind of people who are quite sharp-tongued.

If there's an opportunity to kick someone when they're down, then definitely take advantage of it!

...a mutual understanding that came about inexplicably.

Chapter 137 Common Language?

"Good afternoon, Pu... Wanzang."

The blonde Valkyrie, wearing compression clothing—an upgraded version of a sports bra—nodded as she finished sweating, as the golden-haired girl entered the private training room.

"What's up?"

The girl got off the treadmill.

"..." Void Treasury tried to pull his gaze away from the other person's breasts, which were highlighted by the compression clothing, and still looked away from them. "Aren't you wearing a bra today?"

"Ah...no, but I'm wearing nipple covers." The girl cupped her breasts with her arm. "Hmm...but it feels like this compression garment can't really support them..."

"...Go to hell, Bianca, why don't you just jump off the sky island?"

"……Feel sorry."

Bianca looked apologetic.

"But at this altitude of the Sky Island, I won't die."

"..."

Void Treasury sighed deeply.

Despicable lewd body.

"You're not here to ask me about bras, are you? Or could you perhaps adjust your current body shape?"

"Once he gets bigger, it will be harder for him to get close to Otto."

After glancing at Bianca's chest, Void Treasury deliberately looked away and then hacked all the electronic devices in the area—even though this private space was unlikely to have any surveillance cameras.

“There are more important things, Otto said. He has begun to doubt the reality of the world.”

"...Not surprising, after all, he is the bishop, and a very proper bishop at that."

Bianca answered while drinking a sports drink.

"Or rather, is it really only now that he's starting to have doubts? Where did things go wrong?"

"...If that's the case, it is indeed very early." Void Treasury pondered for a moment.

The matter of Theresa and Amber is only being brought up now...

“In a game of strategy, Wan Zang, you can't beat Otto,” Bianca said as if it were a trivial matter. “Is it possible to resolve this?”

“…If you can’t solve this, even Fuli won’t be able to. You need to know where you are.” Void Treasury sighed. “I’m a recorder, not a GM. If I really had a solution, I would have dealt with you, the one who bypassed the rules ‘by relying on momentum and perseverance.’ I’m just reminding you that Otto might test you one day.”

“It’s nothing to worry about.” Bianca stretched.

Her stunning figure once again attracted the hostile gaze of Void Treasury.

"...Why don't you go to the Sky Zone? It's there now..."

“No, Rita is enough.” Bianca shook her head. “Xiao Shi will be out here soon, right?”

“Who knows? There’s no script, although many parts will be close to the historical fact.” Void Treasury shifted its gaze from Bianca. “Well, not going isn’t without its advantages. If Otto really has a mental illness, the two of us can just send him off the stage.”

Bianca neither confirmed nor denied this.

"How is my cooking, Miss Natasha?" Rita asked with a smile, looking at Natasha sitting at the table.

"It's... just so-so."

"It's delicious!" Kiana, who was standing next to her, didn't hold back as much. "My sister didn't eat Rita's cooking every day before, did she?"

In any case, given Rita's relationship with Bianca, to Kiana, Rita is practically like a half-sister.

"Of course~"

Rita really likes straightforward children—especially little girls.

"I'm quite confident in my cooking skills... Kiana, what have you been eating lately?"

"Um... most of the time it's takeout? Occasionally Liu Bai has time to cook—but takeout is actually quite delicious."

"Huh? Does Miss Natasha never lift a finger to do housework?"

Rita looked surprised, as if to say, "How can there still be women who can't cook these days?"

Are you planning to leave all the housework to your future husband?
