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

Aying Peeks Out.jpg

"...?"

Liu Bai looked at the figure that suddenly poked its head out from the doorway.

Why is this person here?

Ever since this girl called him brother-in-law, he seems to have become even more adorable—although this "girl" is of unfathomable age.

Upon seeing the shadow, Liu Ying's smile froze for a moment.

The shadow blinked innocently.

Although someone had reminded Ying that the term "brother-in-law" shouldn't be used casually in public.

But... this isn't outside, right?

That bastard cheating cat—!

Liu Ying's heart began to explode.

Why don't you just go for it! What kind of skill is it to use medical treatment as a pretext to cheat on your husband!

Fortunately, this wasn't the first time Liu Ying had heard the name "Shadow." After all, Liu Bai's knife wasn't concealed, so she wasn't too shocked—it was huge!

Calling Mr. Liu Bai "brother-in-law" at my door is just being disrespectful.

"Firefly, stay calm."

"……Um."

Alright, Liu Ying also knows that Ying appears aloof but is actually quite adorable. Although her words can be a bit infuriating, she has never seen her harbor any clear malice towards anyone. Even her initial distrust of Liu Bai was within reasonable limits.

Even now, she doesn't seem to have any possessiveness towards others—in fact, it seems that none of the people on Inazuma's side have much possessiveness.

Moreover, Ryuhoshi also learned about Inazuma's views from Kokiko.

All I can say is... we get along very well?

The teachings Liu Ying received from Ye Lan were also about "compromise," and it was unrealistic for one person to hold onto Liu Bai.

Moreover... Liu Ying herself is very receptive. Kafka was able to get Liu Ying to help her book a hotel room and buy a suite with just a few words. She was completely like, "As long as Mr. Liu Bai has me in his heart, that's enough."

In her previous dream, Liu Ying's bottom line was that she should watch Liu Bai do it, so Liu Ying spent most of her time mentally drained rather than competing with others.

"I'll go ask Aying what's going on."

Liu Bai comforted Liu Ying.

Ah Ying... Hearing this address, Liu Ying felt a pang of jealousy.

She also wanted a nickname...

For example, "Ah Ying" or something like that?

The way Kafka calls herself and the way Liu Bai calls herself feel completely different.

Who is Kafka? I don't know her at all, really not.

Even after their identities are revealed, they still need to maintain a severance relationship. Kafka and they are like a spider and a butterfly—it's obvious that she can only be the one being bullied.

Liu Bai turned and walked to the door.

"Aying".

"Brother-in-law~?" Ying revealed a gentle and affectionate expression.

Why do you call me that so naturally?!

"Why are you here?"

Liu Bai took a deep breath and asked.

Are they eavesdropping?

"I... want to see my brother-in-law."

Ying thought for a moment and then answered.

"Brother-in-law, if you need a sparring partner, I can do that too. If you want to learn Inazuma's martial arts, I can teach you."

Firefly: “…”

Liu Bai subtly sensed Liu Ying's gaze behind him and automatically imagined Liu Ying's cute, puffed-up face.

"Then...you and Liuying can come together."

…………

"Isn't Ying being a little too forward?" Chiyo looked at Ying and Liuying, who were standing on either side of Liu Bai. "Has Ying finally figured things out?"

"Hmm~ She's finally figured it out, maybe even too much." Fox Palace revealed a look of suppressed laughter and amusement. "It takes three years to learn good things, but only three days to learn bad things. My sister has barely started to get started, and her little sister is already trying to seduce her brother-in-law."

Chapter 203 Cat Aying

Joking aside, Kosai-gumi might not care much, but Chiyo still cared a lot about the sparring match between Ryuhaku and Kage.

As for Firefly... as a mecha pilot, Firefly is obviously not good at hand-to-hand combat.

Although the swordsmanship has its merits, however...

Well, looking at Ryuhoshi's swordsmanship, which leaned towards wide and sweeping movements, Chiyo automatically imagined the scene of a sea of ​​fire with each swing of his sword—it's not a one-on-one skill at all!

In this one-on-one sparring match where full strength cannot be used, Liu Ying was undoubtedly defeated by Liu Bai.

"As expected of Mr. Liu Bai."

Liu Ying showed no sign of defeat.

Liu Bai... really didn't feel any joy in winning.

"Brother-in-law, do you want to rest for a while?"

Ying picked up the wooden naginata in her hand and asked Liu Bai with an impatient look on her face.

"...It's okay, let's continue."

Your expression doesn't look like you're ready to let me rest at all.

"Then... Brother-in-law, why don't you use Dream Heart? Aren't you worried about hurting me? Besides, Dream Heart isn't sharpened."

Ying looked at Liu Bai, who was taking a stance, and spoke.

“I won’t hold back—don’t underestimate this wooden sword.”

Purple lightning coiled around the wooden naginata.

...The thunderbolt was even thicker than the wooden sword itself.

"..."

Liu Bai took a deep breath and took out his dream.

"Brother-in-law...I'm going to go for it—!"

With a loud shout, Ying appeared in front of Liu Bai in the blink of an eye.

—When this silly girl said she "wouldn't hold back," she wasn't just being polite!

Dream Truth Collapses!

A powerful slash brimming with Honkai energy was unleashed in an instant.

The dazzling purple lightning clashed with the sinister purple shadow.

"Tsk——!"

Liu Bai was sent flying, and Ying also showed a somewhat surprised expression.

"He's stupid but strong..." Bai complained, commenting on how fast and powerful his attack was.

"Eh? Brother-in-law, aren't you going to stop him?" Ying seemed surprised by Liu Bai's choice.

"How am I supposed to block you when you're that fast?!"

Liu Bai flexed his wrists.

My wrist joint is somewhat damaged, but fortunately, the self-healing power of "breathing and blood return" can slowly repair it.

[Dream Truth - Collapse: Deploys a Domination Domain, causing enemies within the area to slowly accumulate the "Domination" status ailment. Each instance of damage taken also accumulates additional "Domination" status ailments. When the Domination value is full, the user can briefly control the opponent according to their will. This effect is difficult to trigger consecutively on the same target.]

Is it because he has a Ruler under his command?

Ah... coming to that point, the Herrscher of Domination has a 100% affinity with me, which is already the standard for forming a bond.

But... the real statue in the Bond Facility!

Putting aside the question of how many people a Herrscher of Domination can impersonate, if I were to take the Herrscher of Domination to find the true bond first, wouldn't the next Kage just use Inahi Kusanagi to cut me up?

After all, some people are simply not worthy of being at the table...

Liu Bai sighed, but Ying didn't give him much of a chance to catch his breath.

With a flick of his naginata, Lei Hai arrived.

"Lord Kage is taking this way too seriously..." Ayaka Kamisato looked at another small knife in the distance with some concern.

Although Shadow controlled his strength and prevented the sea of ​​lightning from filling the entire archipelago, wasn't this sparring a bit too serious?

"Don't worry, there's no way Shadow would ever murder Lord Liu Bai." Tōsara was also worried, but she still reassured Ayaka beside her.

No matter what, Ying Du calls Liu Bai "brother-in-law".

In fact, Liu Bai was indeed fine—the dream of Isshin, filled with Honkai energy, was already able to sever the lightning.

Although it's a bit difficult, it's not going to backfire—if he can retaliate with lightning, he'll definitely make sure the shadows are out of the water!

A long-lost feeling of frustration.

After the thunderstorm, Liu Bai was somewhat disheveled, but was still relatively unharmed.

But just before the lightning dissipated, the shadow leaped high into the air, carrying the lightning as it crashed down from the sky.

In other words, since we're inside the pot, Xiao Ai has control over the celestial phenomena. If we were outside the pot, the sky would be overcast and thunder would be striking everywhere.

Raise your knife!

clang--!

Being parried in mid-air, Shadow's stance bar instantly accumulated to nearly a third, and Liu Bai's level nine parry skill experience also increased significantly.

No, it wasn't just the stance bar; the control bar on the shadow's body also increased significantly as a result.

Is stance damage also being factored in?

Taking advantage of this brief opening, Liu Bai immediately launched a counterattack.

Although my sword is enhanced with Honkai energy, ... all that's needed to accumulate the control gauge is "dealing damage".

Forget about physical damage, it could probably even inflict psychological damage—but Liu Bai doesn't have that many fancy tricks up his sleeve.

The Exquisite Dice of the Abyss!

In an instant, dozens of life threads shot out from around Liu Bai, and then a small, exquisite water elemental die appeared around Liu Bai.

With a single swing of his blade, Ying severed all the life-sustaining threads, but the next moment, Liu Bai pressed forward instead.

Not to mention the shadows, even Chiyo and Kosai-gu, who were watching from the sidelines, showed expressions of astonishment.

"——!?"

"Ah Ying, shaking your knife is the most cowardly way to fight."

Liu Bai looked at Ying with a serious expression.

The wooden naginata, whose dream is to suppress the shadows.

Even if a dream is not sharpened, its inherent quality is incomparable to that of a wooden sword.

Crack——!

Liu Bai exerted only a little force, and the wooden sword shattered.

As expected, Ying immediately jumped back and distanced herself from Liu Bai the moment the wooden sword shattered.

Liu Bai did not immediately give chase.
