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

Eleanor walked up from behind and glanced at Mei and Kiana.

Although she was the kind of person who was old-fashioned and even harsh, she wouldn't stoop to arguing with two young girls.

"What's the meaning……?"

Kiana scratched her head, not understanding the meaning of Eleanor's rhetorical question.

"nothing."

Eleanor wasn't going to expose Karen's past in front of the two young girls. "You two are so young, why are you getting involved in this kind of fun?"

"Uh-huh!"

Without a doubt, this kind of "sharp and mean" elder is the kind of person that Kiana, a wild and mischievous child, least wants to face.

"Just out of a little curiosity."

Mei answered very politely, then naturally passed the ball back, "Ms. Eleanor, what brings you here?"

"……snort."

Eleanor tilted her head slightly, avoiding the question.

"What? He's just feeling guilty."

Kiana's words were merciless.

Anyway... her only familial relation to Eleanor was her mother's surname.

They are not related by blood at all.

Moreover, Eleanor's position as an adopted daughter was already quite awkward, because the Shaniat family was almost extinct at that time.

She heard from Karen that Otto's mother, Sabrina, had three adopted daughters at the time—one of whom was Eleanor.

However, when it comes to blood ties, the intermarriages among the three families are actually quite extensive.

Just like Otto's mother, Sabrena, is a Shaniat.

That's why Otto was discriminated against back then because of his poor health.

In Otto's family, his eldest sister Bianca and eldest brother Ferdinand were both considered capable and talented fighters at the time, but unfortunately one died in battle and the other died in an accident.

The remaining second sister and second brother are, respectively, a cunning and ruthless woman and a self-important but incompetent man.

Oh, and there's also the little nephew left behind by his elder brother Ferdinand, who knows nothing.

Otto simply chopped up these rotten fish and shrimp.

So Otto doesn't actually have any direct relatives. On the contrary, in terms of seniority, Kiana and Bianca can undoubtedly be considered Otto's juniors.

What? Anna?

...Let's forget about the collateral branch, Shaniat.

Not really familiar with her—okay, does anyone really think Otto has a good impression of his mother?

As the most powerful politician of his time, Otto, who became a bishop, described his parents as incompetent, playful, and scheming idiots.

Yes, Otto's equal contempt for ownership is a cunning mindset, and he even discriminates against himself, who once feared power.

Intrigue? Power?

In retrospect, it doesn't matter at all.

He could have walked up to his father, Nicholas, with swords in hand and forced him to abdicate.

However, due to his fear and hesitation towards power, he could only rise to power by stepping on the corpses of his second sister, second brother, and nephew.

"Damn girl..."

Kiana's unmistakable complaints naturally did not escape Eleanor's ears.

But Eleanor only glanced at Kiana in the end.

She wouldn't stoop to arguing with such a brat... well, besides, even if she did, she couldn't beat him.

Kiana herself may not have realized it, but in reality, under Feixiao's intense training, Kiana was making rapid progress every day.

There's no way around it, Feixiao is just too perfect as Kiana's teacher.

Although Feixiao's absolute strength may not be considered strong among the envoys—or rather, General Xianzhou has always been somewhat awkward in terms of combat power.

But Feixiao is perfect because she's an all-rounder when it comes to physics. Although she says she despises firearms, she can use them herself and is quite skilled at it—after all, the Xianzhou army has a pretty high rate of firearms.

They were also proficient in all eighteen martial arts techniques when it came to cold weapons.

Kiana was like a shriveled sponge under Feixiao's hands, frantically absorbing water.

Judging from Fei Xiao's feelings, if Kiana were a member of the Celestial Ship, she could probably become a candidate for general after a few years of high-pressure work on the front lines.

So now Feixiao really wants to go and confront Cecilia—but then again, Kiana is only seventeen.

Although the age for Valkyries to join the army can be lowered to thirteen or fourteen, such outrageous cases are still in the minority.

"Alright... say less."

Mei, a typical young lady from a wealthy family, tried to ease the tension.

Mei has become a dried-up sponge under Huang Quan's control these days.

In fact, Mei, who was originally just a young lady who was only symbolically developing her martial arts skills, might now be even more capable of fighting than Kiana.

Well, after all, this world is in good order, and her family isn't in chaos because of political infighting. Mei's future development should be like her father, Raiden Ryoma's, graduating from high school and going to America to study with Einstein and others, becoming a researcher with decent swordsmanship.

However, Huang Quan, who had experienced the pain of losing his family, had no sympathy for Mei's training.

Scientific research is great, but in critical moments, the only thing that can save you and protect your companions is the knife in your hand!

Come on! Pick up your knives! Attack me!

If we say that Flying Sky is just a good fit for Kiana...

So Huang Quan... is like teaching his former self.

Is it difficult to teach yourself?

Both Mei and Yomi are handled with great ease.

As for Mei herself... she didn't really care that much, partly because her swordsmanship talent was indeed top-notch.

On the other hand, with Mei around for research, when Mei and Mei talk about studying, Mei always feels like she's not using her brain.

After being run over and over several times, Mei decided that it didn't really matter anymore.

Mei's current feeling is that her own swordsmanship is utterly worthless in front of Yomi.

His father's research abilities seemed utterly insignificant compared to Mei, who was only a year or two older than him.

Comparing the two... alright, I'll just learn the knife skill. Anyway, it seems simpler than math, and it's understandable that I can't compare to Huang Quan.

However, Mei was speechless after her father's most prized scientific research ability was completely outmatched by Mei.

She had only one thought—there were far more talented people in scientific research than talented people in martial arts…

—Although Mei is actually a dual-talented individual, she didn't realize it herself, and secondly, a person's energy is indeed limited. Mei is already quite good at being able to make a decisive choice.

If they were to fight with conventional weapons right now, Kiana would probably lose to Mei...

Yes, even though Mei doesn't have a core right now.

What Huang Quan taught her was definitely enough for Mei to handle a "chicken fight".

"...By the way, why hasn't Sister Huang Quan arrived yet?"

After easing the tension, Mei changed the subject.

"Huang Quan... I don't think she needs to worry about anything. You know, that's Huang Quan."

Even though Kiana is usually a bit silly, she knows what makes Yomi famous in this family.

In the early days, Liu Bai was treated like a ○Anger, and was forced ○.

—Although it wasn't actually that exaggerated, Huang Quan's smugness only lasted a short while before turning into Liu Bai's wrath. However, a group of jealous girls were adding fuel to the fire and demonizing Huang Quan.

"Forehead……"

Mei was also embarrassed.

Who told her to look so much like Huang Quan?

Whenever others talk about the Yellow Springs, she always feels like she's being affected by AoE herself.

...But, perhaps that's why she came out of curiosity to "support" Huang Quan?

After all... she's at the age where she's curious about this kind of thing.

And just then, I came across a perfect reference point.

"Wait a minute... Mei, could it be that you..."

It would have been better if Kiana hadn't mentioned it, because once she did, Kiana suddenly made the connection herself.

Then... he revealed a scrutinizing expression.

"I...don't I look a lot like Sister Zhen and Sister Ying?"

Mei could tell what Kiana wanted to say just by looking at her expression.

"You don't think those two people are particularly noble, do you?"

Kiana rolled her eyes.

As a mischievous child, Kiana mentally labeled everyone.

In her classification, Shin and Kage are also like wolves and tigers!

"Ah Ying, why don't you give it a try?"

—Coincidentally, both Zhen and Ying were present.

"Uh...I...this..."

Ying looked like she wanted to go, but was also shy.

"Let's... let's check on Karen's condition first."

……

"Karen?"

Liu Bai looked at Karen as she walked in, a look of surprise on his face, but then he suddenly seemed to realize something, "Oh, you're here to undo the previous effects?"

Liu Bai picked up the phone that was on the bedside table.

Since he returned to the pot, Liu Bai's "storage space" experience card also expired.

"Relieve, release?"

Kallen was stunned for a moment.

Oh, wait a minute, it seems there really was such a thing?

"I thought you'd forgotten about it."

Liu Bai didn't notice Karen's expression and couldn't help but complain.

"I tried to say it twice before, but you interrupted me both times. Come on..."

"Wait a minute! Let me think about it!"

Karen suddenly made a stop gesture.

This yearning of mine... seems to indeed be due to Liu Bai's unknown methods.

But... that's strange.

It's like someone wants to drink cola/eat meat, but just as they're about to drink/eat, someone suddenly appears and says, "Your current desire is actually fake. Come on, I'll make your false desire disappear."

Isn't that...strange?

Karen admits that what she wants to drink right now is indeed very illogical, and even she finds it strange.

But... at this point, with such a delicacy right in front of us, it would be too frustrating to stop now.

Or, given that things have come to this point, even if the "false desire" is eliminated, would you simply turn around and leave?

"Karen?"
