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

"What's it to you! Can't I not get married?"

Anxious.

Rita looked at Natasha with a smile.

"So you're going to such lengths to oppress Mr. Liu Bai, who is your sworn brother?"

"...You really have to fight during dinner, don't you?"

"Just a joke."

Rita shrugged, enjoying Natasha's exasperated expression.

"But besides that, do you all have any other topics that can liven up the atmosphere at the table?"

"Liu Bai?" Dian asked while picking up some food.

If we really have to talk about it, the only thing they have in common right now is Liu Bai?

We just couldn't find common ground on other topics.

For example, Eden's main profession is a singer, Natasha and Rita Ragnar are from different factions, and Kiana is currently a patient.

Common topics?

Stop talking nonsense. If it weren't for Liu Bai, Natasha and Rita wouldn't even be sitting at the same table, Eden would never have come here, and Kiana might even have been living in Mebius's lab.

"Ah... Liu Bai."

Kiana scratched her head. She felt like she had something to say about Liu Bai, but she didn't know where to begin.

"That guy... isn't he a little strange?"

"It's more than just a little strange."

"Seconded."

Natasha and Rita finally united.

It's really strange.

"Mr. Liu Bai must be so confused that he doesn't know where to begin with this?"

"Hmm... Rita, you remember, right? That guy was just an ordinary person when we first met."

"Ah."

Rita nodded. She and Liu Bai first met at the bookstore. Natasha might have met earlier, but not by much—it was her own momentary lapse of judgment that caused them to miss each other.

Although Rita felt that World Serpent might actually be more suitable for Liu Bai, as Fate was not a very stable option.

Then, after a few days apart... Liu Bai was suddenly able to fight her at half her strength on equal terms—although he only defended and didn't attack.

“I don’t think this can be explained by growth potential,” Natasha said, scratching her head. “And then there was that thing we did before…”

"We can get straight to the conclusion." Both Rita and Natasha looked slightly embarrassed when the topic came up.

Let's not bring up that lose-lose situation again.

"The conclusion is that he's so strange that our world's serpents have become too lazy to even bother figuring out just how strange he is," Natasha said, shrugging.

As long as it doesn't harm us, nobody cares about anything else.

Well, it might not be so harmless to jackals either.

In short... well, anyway, their own lord doesn't want to care, and Natasha herself is too lazy to care.

—Although Natasha herself also wanted to move into Liu Bai's Dust Song Pot.

"Ah, speaking of which, I initially thought you guys were going to slice Liu Bai into pieces." Rita had to admit that she initially had a very bad impression of the World Serpent, this secretive organization.

"Ha, if we're going to cut someone, we should cut this girl first."

"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Kiana looked completely bewildered. "What does this have to do with me?!"

"Because you're an unlikable girl."

Natasha pouted.

Their lord spoils Liu Bai to an extreme degree, like he's preparing to have an old cow eat young grass. Kiana is far inferior—although after getting to know her, Kiana is alright except for being a bit eccentric—being brainless isn't always a flaw.

As for why their lord dotes on Liu Bai so much? The answer is simply, "Don't you think Liu Bai is very pleasing to the eye?"

Well, that reason is irrefutable. Natasha also felt that Liu Bai was pleasing to the eye... well, although it's more likely that Liu Bai's charm appeals to all ages—of course, she was definitely not saying that the Lord was old.

“Speaking of which, since Liu Bai is an alien, will we go to interstellar space in the future?” Ragnar asked from the side.

“I don’t see anything worth going to,” Natasha said, pouting. “We haven’t even finished tidying up our own little plot of land yet.”

"Feel the same."

Rita nodded, saying that they shouldn't talk about such things before they had even figured out their own situation.

Moreover, she's not someone with grand dreams. Even if things calm down and humanity really does have the ability to go into space, she'll probably resign and go home.

"Don't you two have a lot in common?" Ragnar looked at the two of them and smiled.

Although I don't know why, it's best if these two don't argue.

“I don’t think going to outer space is such a simple thing. Hmm… for example, the materials for a long-distance spacecraft, as well as long-distance routes, resupply… etc. Why do you all look so scared?”

Kiana looked at the expressions on the faces of the group of people around her, as if they were saying, "You're actually using your brain!?" and slammed her hand on the table in protest.

"I'm not stupid! I'm definitely a bit smarter than my older sister!"

“Look, this is proof of being an idiot,” Rita said, pointing at Kiana.

The people around, even Eden who didn't recognize "Sister Kiana," nodded in agreement.

……

"thanks for treatment."

Natasha sighed.

"If you ever lose to me, I'll capture you, drug you, and make you my brother's maid."

“I happen to be short of an apprentice maid,” Rita chuckled.

Although the two were initially at odds, once they got to know each other better, they were indeed less inclined to harm each other.

Especially in the case of unjust wars—of course, Rita would have slacked off on such nonsense long ago.

"Well then, see you next time, all three of you."

Rita said goodbye to Ragnar and then turned and left.

"Rita, I've always wanted to ask what you mean by 'drug administration'."

Ragnar asked in confusion after leaving the house.

This wasn't the first time she'd heard this before.

"This...it's hard to explain." Rita's smile froze for a moment. "If there's a chance in the future, Lord Ragnar, you could experience it for yourself?"

"...That's not a good thing to say, is it? Ah, those two down there are the Valkyries from the Far East Branch, right?"

…………

"Ugh...it hurts...where am I?"

Liu Bai turned on the light in the dark.

My whole body aches...

During the day, Ragnar was simply too... In short, his powerful swordsmanship and various fighting techniques left a very deep impression on Liu Bai.

"woke up?"

"Huh—!?"

Natasha, lying next to Liu Bai, propped her head up and looked at him with indifferent eyes, which startled Liu Bai.

"What do you mean 'huh'? I didn't eat you." Natasha yawned and rolled over nonchalantly. "The pot is on the bedside table. Whether you want to put it back in the pot or whatever, it's up to you. I've already sent your message to Sara."

...Although nothing was actually done, sharing a bed was a little more embarrassing than I had imagined.

"Also, Eden is asleep over there, so don't make too much noise."

Oh right, I gave my room to Eden.

Liu Bai sat up and rested for a while.

"...I'm going back into the pot."

Liu Bai picked up the Dust Song Pot from the bedside table and inhaled into it, while thinking about whether he should make some portable food such as bread and steamed buns in the future.

After Liu Bai left, Natasha turned herself back over.

"...This is really boring."

…………

"Meow? Lord Liu Bai?"

"Ah, good evening, Qi Liangliang."

There are still people awake in the middle of the night.

Liu Bai looked at the cat (girl) who was scattering filth on the grass. Was this one a cat demon mixed with real wine? It was a completely different thing from the fake cat girl like Pado.

Being active at night and hiding during the day is no problem at all.

But doesn't anyone keep cats awake during the day?

"Good evening, Lord Liu Bai!" Qi Liangliang ran to Liu Bai, who was sitting on the ground. "Do you need my help?"

"It would be great if you could help me up."

"piece of cake!"

Although she can be a bit eccentric at times, Kira is quite composed when helping people.

"Where did you go today? You look like you've had a long day."

"Practicing martial arts."

"Eh—I see. No wonder. I knew that practicing martial arts was extremely hard just by looking at Lord Tengu and Lord Kage."

"You call it Saluo so unfamiliarly."

"Um... I guess I'm not quite used to it yet? Tengu... uh, Kujo-sama has always been intimidating, so imposing. I was scolded every time I tried to get close to her before."

"...How did you approach him?"

Liu Bai glanced at the catgirl supporting him with a strange expression.

You weren't sneaking up on me from behind like a cat, were you? Kujo Sara was being kind enough by not beating you up.

"I just walked up to Lady Kujo normally and asked her, 'Lady Kujo, can I grab a handful of feathers?' and then I got scolded."

"...You can't even chat?"

"N-No, it's just that the feathers on Kujo-sama's wings look so soft, and I felt like I could use them as padding in a box... so I couldn't help but ask."

"It will crackle and pop."

Liu Bai said quickly.

"After all, Sara can generate electricity with her feathers."

"Eh...that makes so much sense! No wonder you're Lord Liu Bai!"

[Qiliang good feeling level 7]

Although Liu Bai was joking, Qi Liang seemed to believe it.

Hmm... it shouldn't be considered a bad thing?

However, after hearing this, Liu Bai also began to wonder about the texture of the Saro feathers.

"...Tengu feather pillow?"

"Eh? What did you say, Lord Liu Bai?"

"No, they didn't say anything."

Liu Bai shook his head decisively, telling the girl not to spread the word.
