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

Kujo Sara nodded. Fortunately, his general's cough symptoms were not too severe and had not yet reached the point where he needed someone to stay by his side at all times.

Since Liu Bai gave a judgment that the condition was not serious, Kujo Sara naturally believed him.

So Kujo Sara woke up Mikoto Chiyo and Kitsuri-no-miya.

Although these two people seem unreliable, they are both elderly and know how to act appropriately.

The three discussed it and decided that Fox Palace would go to take care of Raiden Shin. If anything unexpected happened to Shin, the priestess's purification jutsu could help to some extent.

Then, he woke up Miko and Sakura and had them, along with Mikoto Chiyo and Kujo Sara, these two "warriors," assist Ryuhaku.

"Speaking of which, how was everyone at home today?"

“Everything is normal.” Tōsara nodded.

In her opinion, Huang Quan's mental state was really stable, and he didn't look like he had taken any drugs at all.

"Why are you talking about this? Has something happened at home?"

Chiyo Mikoto, who was chopping vegetables, was curious about the topic between the two.

"And it seems that Lord Liu Bai has been staying out all night more often lately."

It's not like I wanted to stay out all night...

However, seeing Mikoto Chiyo's expression, Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mikoto Chiyo didn't notice, then it means that Yomi's performance really wasn't a big problem.

"It's all because of serious business."

“I didn’t say you went out to have a good time.” Mikoto Chiyo chuckled.

Since Liu Bai was there, the matter of Lei Dianzhen didn't put any psychological pressure on them, so they didn't mind joking with Liu Bai.

(But if that's the case... wouldn't it make me want to capture Lord Liu Bai even more?)

"After the General recovers from his illness, would you like to come and visit our Inazuma? Perhaps Kabukicho or something?"

"Lady Chiyo!" Josara's voice rose a few decibels.

"Yes, yes, yes, Sara-chan, you're taking this way too seriously." Mikoto Chiyo looked like she was about to surrender. "But Lord Yanagi, aren't you really curious about the red-light district?"

"Don't ask such morally questioning questions, Chiyo." Haku looked speechless.

There's a reason why Mikoto Chiyo can get along so well with Kitsui-no-miya.

"Tsk tsk, that means Lord Liu Bai's morality has wavered."

"Chiyo-sama!"

Kujo Sara continued to call out in a helpless tone.

Who asks others this kind of question every day?

"Yes, yes, yes... Ah, but if you put it that way, when the time comes, if the few of us—me, Fox Palace, Divine Child, Sakura, Shadow, and Sara—dance and pour you drinks together, it will feel much more interesting than those red-light districts, right?"

"Lady Chiyo! Do you really have to say such strange things?"

Kujo Sara finally reached her breaking point.

"..." Bai revealed a slightly tempted expression.

If the current Inazuma Girls Group... which is essentially an "expanded version of the Narukami Group" were to actually do this, it would seem quite attractive.

"And Lord Liu Bai, you shouldn't be so easily tempted!"

"Instead of that, Sara, you should start practicing dancing now, okay? How about I teach you the Kagura dance?"

"Well……"

Well, Kujo Sara wasn't so opposed to dancing and pouring drinks.

After all, it's nothing as a token of gratitude—but don't compare me to the red-light district!

How can anyone talk like that!

Why does this look like a mass sellout?

"Sakura! Why don't you say something too?"

"Huh? Me? I... what am I supposed to say?"

Sakura sounded a little guilty.

“I would be very happy to welcome Lord Liu Bai… It would be even better if you could help look after my sister.”

"..."

Well, I really have no right to criticize this reason.

Then Kujo Saji glanced at Yae no Miko again... Oh well, let's just pretend she doesn't exist.

"Hey... Sara?" Shigemiko gave a slightly annoyed smile.

"Isn't it pointless to ask you?" Tōsara sighed.

It's no secret that Yae no Miko and Kitsune no Miko are inseparable, especially since Yae no Miko has a hidden "mama's boy" tendency.

"Tsk, this evaluation is really unpleasant. I will still say bad things about Lord Fox Palace—Lord Liu Bai, would you like to hear it?"

"For example?" Bai asked, somewhat curious.

"For example... well, don't be fooled by Lord Fox's appearance, he's actually a heavy smoker. He used to smoke his pipe all the time, but he quit after the General got sick—he's quit for now."

A pipe...what kind of stereotypical mature woman/older sister image is that?

No, I should say something like a mature Japanese female boss?

Fox Palace really has too many elements.

"Ah, speaking of which, Lord Kitsuri doesn't smoke tobacco, does he?" Josara seemed to have also remembered this. "I heard from Lady Sasayuri that Lord Kitsuri's pipe has been used for five or six hundred years."

"Yes, it's been five or six hundred years. She brought this stuff from overseas at first, but she didn't like it, so she mixed the Naruto grass with some other stuff and made a new thing. Anyway, it's harmless, but... uh, what's it called? It has a strong throat hit, like your throat has been struck by lightning... It's amazing that she could smoke it for so long."

Mikoto Chiyo clearly remembered this incident.

"But it smells alright."

“Yes, I smelled it once before, it felt more like incense.” Josara nodded in agreement.

"Harmless only relative to you guys, right?" Bai pouted. To be honest, tobacco leaves were originally used for medicinal purposes.

Moreover, even Mikoto Chiyo described it as "like being struck by lightning"—that doesn't sound like a good thing.

"Well, Lord Liu Bai, did you instantly lose your goodwill towards Lord Huzhai Palace?" Chong Shenzi teased with a light laugh.

"It's alright, as long as it doesn't bother others. I'm not so germophobic that I have to point fingers at things like this."

Liu Bai didn't care; he wasn't that nosy.

Moreover, what Fox Palace spreads doesn't really qualify as "secondhand smoke," so the tolerance level is even higher.

"Tsk."

Yae Shenzi curled his lips.

Liu Bai is just waiting to be taken advantage of by an older man.

...Although she also found it hard to accept that Fox Palace was offering herself to her.

After all, although Fox Palace and she are not related by blood, they are objectively guardian and ward. If Fox Palace were to really be willing to give herself to someone else, her relationship with Liu Bai would become very complicated.

Well, it doesn't really matter much to the other people.

So, although Yae no Miko didn't dislike Liu Bai—she even thought he was quite nice—after all, they were in similar mental states.

However, because of this relationship, Yae no Miko is the only one who is inclined to "dismantle".

It defies common sense, but it has a certain rationality.

Of course, if it can't be dismantled, the Divine Child doesn't mind being shameless.

After all, shamelessness is a tradition in their lineage—especially since it was Fox Palace who started being shameless first.

The topic of "Fox Abode Palace being a heavy smoker" quickly faded away.

"Hmm... Sakura, you have a younger sister?"

"Mm." Sakura nodded at Liu Bai.

"sick?"

Liu Bai was very concerned about this. Would the bell become corrosive again?

“I was sick, but the General cured me. I only have a few aftereffects and I’m resting.” Sakura was still a little reserved in front of Liu Bai. “The General isn’t very skilled in medicine either. The other doctors also advised me to rest.”

"..."

Is Raiden Shin a Superman?

Illness, recovery, and the general's lack of medical skills—if these three factors are combined, wouldn't the real cure be the Honkai disease?

If we include bells in the erosion calculation, then Raiden has truly suppressed two generations of erosion.

Liu Bai's expression turned strange.

"Okay, once I'm fully recovered, I'll go back to the Far East for a visit."

Sakura's Affection Level: 2528

[Mikoto Chiyo's Affection Level: 4749]

Sakura and Ryuhaku have had relatively little contact these days, but as for Mikoto Chiyo... I feel like I've stepped into a trap.

"Thank you so much!"

"Then when you dance, Sakura, you should take off a few more layers, okay?"

"Eh? Eh?"

"Stop talking nonsense, okay?"

Liu Bai rolled his eyes—although he was in favor of taking off a couple more layers, adults have to learn to be hypocritical.

While the group chatted, a bowl of noodles filled with various ingredients was ready.

"I'll go deliver the food... By the way, it's already this late, why don't we just make breakfast too?"

It's already 3 a.m., even if they take a nap, they'll probably have to get up around 5 or 6 a.m. to cook—not to mention that these people probably won't be able to sleep afterwards anyway.

"no problem."

None of them cared about it.

"I'm entrusting this to you, General."

Liu Bai nodded, then carried the noodles upstairs.

After entering, Huzhaigong nodded to Liu Bai, indicating that there was really no problem.

Then Fox Palace helped Zhen up, and Liu Bai cooled the noodles for a while before feeding Raiden Zhen.

"...So why do I have to feed you at this time?"

Being too calculating is not a good thing.

Fox Palace seemed to be offering spiritual encouragement.

Lei Dian's face was also slightly flushed.

After realizing certain things, Raiden already felt somewhat ashamed of "feeding," and now Fox Palace is still watching...

Are you feeling better now?

Liu Bai asked as he went.

"Hmm... much better." Raiden nodded. "Um... how about I do it myself? I can still use chopsticks now."

"Fine, might as well go all the way."

"...Thank you so much for your help."

With Fox Palace present, both of them felt a little strange.

[Raiden's Affection Level: 5153]

Ever since Raiden realized the possibility between her and Liu Bai, the feeding play started to increase her affection, and Liu Bai was no longer surprised.
