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

"I wiped my face and swiped my card. Bianca, Ragnar, along with their Undying Blades and Stormtroopers, I deducted them all."

The meat is practically in your mouth, what are you waiting for!

"What if it's an enemy?"

"As for the enemy... it depends on when they decide to enter the fray."

Liu Bai's expression turned serious; this was the more troublesome problem.

If they haven't started fighting yet, then cooking Bianca and Ragnar is relatively simple.

But if a fight breaks out...

Ragnar is not much of a threat; he may be strong, but he's not that great.

The biggest problem is Bianca; theoretically, sending an Inazuma group to stop Bianca shouldn't be a problem.

But the problem is... if this arrogant phoenix were to unleash its full power, it might just tear a hole in the flank in no time.

Moreover, he sometimes executes orders rather rigidly... or rather, he trusts Otto too much.

"Then... let's throw Rita up there, and while we're at it, give Rita a love potion."

"...You're pretty inhuman too."

Ji Zi glanced at Liu Bai speechlessly.

In this situation where close friends turn against each other, one should try to soothe the wounds of love on one's own side.

...Isn't this just the kind of plot that leads people to evil/corruption in doujinshi?!

Chapter 497 Bronya: What's the point...?

Himeko was speechless.

But thinking about it carefully... this really requires Rita to step in, since Rita is quite popular in Destiny.

"...You make decisions really quickly."

Ji Zi thought that Liu Bai would hesitate for a while because of this relationship.

The result was that they deducted money as soon as they were told, and if they couldn't deduct it, they made Rita go and corrupt people.

"Otherwise, isn't it good from both a rational and emotional perspective?"

"Does 'emotional' mean women fighting?"

Himeko raised an eyebrow slightly.

Liu Bai remained silent, his gaze drifting slightly.

To be honest, even if Rita's drugging attempt fails, the battle between Bianca and Herrscher Rita... would still be quite a spectacle.

"Well, I'll go check on Bronya too."

-

"Eh... Bronya, are you saying that Mr. Liu Bai is interested in me?"

Alexandra, on the other end of the phone, sounded distressed after listening to Bronya's complaint.

...But why is this tone so soft and gentle?

Over the phone, who can tell whether the person on the other end is a naive 20-year-old college girl or a widow approaching 40?

Did you just wake up?

“That won’t do… No matter what, there’s too much of an age difference between me and Mr. Liu Bai.”

"Yes, yes... wait! The problem isn't just about age!"

Bronya had barely opened her mouth to agree when she realized something was wrong.

Is the problem about age?

The problem is age, and that's a big problem!

"Huh? Isn't it age?"

"Of course it's not age! The problem is—"

What is it?

Bronya remained silent; she had been so enraged that she hadn't thought things through carefully.

—That's only natural!

Who could stay rational in that situation?

The problem is the widow?

No, no, no, you can't say that. Saying it like that makes it sound like she, as the daughter, is discriminating against her own mother.

Bronya felt a strange mix of emotions towards her dead father, whom she had never met.

After all, although her father did it to supplement the family income, embezzlement and resale were still embezzlement and resale, and he couldn't pass the test of justice.

Furthermore, Bronya later showed signs of even wanting to kill Cocolia to silence her, so she rarely mentioned her father.

To put it bluntly, she felt that her father was lucky to have died from a Honkai Beast—after all, he would have died anyway if this had been discovered, but at least he would have a good reputation if he had died from a Honkai Beast.

...Even from a third-party perspective, this treatment is quite unfair to others.

Bronya is very close to her mother, and even feels a sense of regret that her mother married the wrong person.

Wait a minute... if you think about it that way, Liu Bai actually seems like a pretty good candidate?

This is wrong!

"...The problem is he's promiscuous! That guy sleeps with a different woman every day!"

"Wow... young people really have a lot of energy."

"..."

Isn’t this ironic?

This must be ironic!

Bronya tried to hypnotize herself into speaking in a sarcastic tone.

……

No, I can't hypnotize him at all.

It sounds like such genuine praise.

Thinking about it carefully... as the saying goes, a woman in her thirties is like a wolf, and in her forties like a tiger.

...My own mother is at the prime of her sexual life right now.

So... is this a bonus point?!

...Could it be that I haven't cared enough for my mother?

Bronya couldn't help but doubt herself.

"Actually, Bronya, if Mr. Liu Bai didn't care about age..."

The voice on the other end of the phone carried a hint of shyness.

Okay, with that shyness, she looks even more like a pure and innocent twenty-year-old woman.

(How could that guy possibly care about age!)

No, let alone age...

Bronya sighed, "Let's not even talk about the fact that Fu Hua's situation is still far from settled."

Take Xianyun and Shenhe for example.

These two are blessed with all the buffs; they're not only master and apprentice but also mother and daughter.

It's obvious from these two that Liu Bai is the kind of person who doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables!

...Although upon closer reflection, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with her.

After all, she couldn't bring herself into the shoes of those two powerful figures who were fighting side by side.

"..."

Bronya's logical chain suddenly broke down into chaos.

For a moment, she was a little confused about why she was saying bad things about Liu Bai.

What's the point...?

Does he want his mother to be a widow for the rest of her life?

The picture... wants Liu Bai to like him?

Bronya shook her head violently.

How could I have this... Well, Liu Bai is quite charming after all.

Bronya took a deep breath.

After calming down, Bronya couldn't deny it either—even though she felt she had been tricked by Seele.

Especially back at the hot springs... I got a little too close in the heat of the moment.

Her initial intention was to keep her distance, after all, a good impression doesn't necessarily mean liking someone... she just couldn't control herself back then.

...If only I had a chip in my brain that could calm me down at any time.

"Bronya?"

Alexandra called out to her daughter, who had suddenly fallen silent.

After not receiving a response, Alexandra's tone became slightly lower.

“Um… Bronya, you’ve grown up now, and there are some things Mom can tell you now. Actually, over the years…”

“Drip, drip, drip—”

Bronya hung up immediately and sat down in a chair, lost in self-doubt.

She really felt this was a big problem, but she couldn't find any major issues!

Is this her problem or Liu Bai's problem?

If she hadn't hung up just now, her daughter would have been in a real predicament!

If my mom says something like, "Mom has been lonely all these years," "Bronya, can you understand Mom's feelings?" or "If Bronya is unhappy, Mom will definitely not have any more siblings," I'm worried.

Once these words were spoken, she, as the daughter, had absolutely no right to refuse!

Bronya covered her face.

No, her mind is too confused right now.

She genuinely felt that the biggest problem with this whole thing was her natural anger.

After all, Liu Bai could meet and take responsibility for his mother's needs.

Neither of the parties involved can find anything wrong with it! (Slams down!)

After all, we haven't really seen Liu Bai abandon anyone yet, and if you ask Bronya, she'd have to admit that although a lot of people want to take the blame for Liu Bai, when it really comes down to it, Liu Bai is also capable of standing up for others.

If he can't stand up, then it's probably because Liu Bai was knocked unconscious by someone else first.

"Bronya?"

"Sister Bronya?"

Cocolia and Seele's voices could be heard from outside.

(Take a deep breath, Bronya, take a deep breath... It's really nothing, just... a minor, harmless issue.)

"...Don't worry, I'm fine."

Bronya didn't open the door, but after she did... Cocolia seemed alright.

Seele might just become a top-tier character.
