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

Firstly, we're all "one of us" now, and secondly, I'm really close to recovery.

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, we have chosen Lord Liu Bai."

"...What are your expectations for Liu Bai?" Rita asked in a low voice.

"General, the new Thunder General." Fox Palace continued to smile, making no attempt to hide his plan, "The General will marry Lord Liu Bai, and the dowry will be Rice Wife."

"...Did your general agree?"

"Of course I agree."

Fox Palace's smile widened. Truly, she was genuine; to be honest, her reaction speed exceeded her expectations.

Even their decisiveness was beyond imagination; Fox Palace originally thought they would have to struggle with it for a while.

When I checked her out a few days ago, she really did look like a girl deeply in love.

"……real?"

Rita pointed to the shadow beside her.

Shadow: "w(°ｏ°)w"

The child looked completely bewildered.

Even his own sister looked shocked. "Did your general really agree?"

Ying had only one thought in her mind right now.

Liu Bai... is suddenly going to become her brother-in-law?

No, no, no, no, no! Something's not right here!

Why didn't anyone tell her beforehand? Not even her own sister!

Brother-in-law... Brother-in-law...

The news was a bit overwhelming for her—stop—this? The news was a strong shock to her.

Mikoto Chiyoko no Sōmiya: "..."

This silly child hasn't realized it yet; it's really hard on her.

"Fox Abode Palace...you must be joking, right?"

The shadow of a brain that has stopped thinking begins to escape reality.

Liu Bai... Liu Bai... Brother-in-law... Brother-in-law...

These two words kept attacking Ying's brain.

I feel some chest tightness, and it's a bit hard to accept.

"Would I joke about something like this?" Fox Palace raised an eyebrow, watching Shadow's reaction with considerable interest. "What? Don't you want Lord Liu Bai to be your brother-in-law?"

"I...this..." Ying, her mind in turmoil, didn't know what to say. "Why didn't my sister tell me?"

I feel a little angry, but I don't know who to be angry at.

"Would it be of any use telling you this?"—Although Fox Palace really wanted to say that.

But now the reaction of the shadow is really too distracting, and he looks clumsy and frustrated.

Rita, standing beside her, had a strange expression: "I get the feeling that things are pretty chaotic inside—so why be so direct about your purpose?"

"Of course, we'll cooperate—we can accept Lord Liu Bai having three wives and four concubines."

"..."

Okay, now Rita has the same expression as Ying, not knowing what to say.

—Your views on love are way too open-minded!

Although, given the current situation around Liu Bai, this kind of "compromise" might be the greatest wisdom.

Rita quickly regained her senses, but Shadow was still in shock.

"Is that why?"

"Hmm... Is it because you're planning to enthrone Lord Liu Bai as the new bishop?" Fox Palace pondered for a moment. "Although we hope Lord Liu Bai can accept the title of 'Thunder General,' it doesn't mean we're going to tie him to this tiny place called Inazuma—nor is it possible to tie him to it. You think so too, right?"

"It's undeniable."

Rita gave a somewhat helpless smile.

From this perspective, it is true. However, Rita doesn't really care whether Liu Bai accepts the title of Archbishop or not, as long as Liu Bai can make arrangements for everyone.

According to Liu Bai's goal, he was aiming for the position of "Earth's Commander." As for whether the name of this position was "Archbishop" or "Thunder General," it didn't matter; at least Rita didn't care.

Of course, compared to Rita, who is more selfless, Fox Palace has some petty thoughts that are acceptable to ordinary people.

The goals of both sides are not conflicting, and they can even cooperate.

"Of course, when there are more people, other things will happen too." Fox Palace said meaningfully.

Rita immediately understood: "Palace intrigue is palace intrigue, and serious business is serious business."

Fox Palace nodded in agreement.

It's convenient to talk to intelligent people who can distinguish right from wrong.

They all chose this path willingly, and emotionally they all wanted to gain more attention from Liu Bai, but these things couldn't affect the main business—unless it was a positive influence.

Rita was quite satisfied; the negotiation with Fox Prince was a pleasant surprise, as it saved her from a "battle" with Inazuma and the others.

Of course, minor skirmishes are inevitable.

Where there are people, there will be conflict. With more people, there will inevitably be competition and comparison in seating arrangements. At most, everyone will be sensible and resolve the issue after the apocalypse.

Discussing "palace intrigue" now is just a way of taking a precaution.

(A subtle sense of familiarity...)

Rita tilted her head, suddenly wanting to capture all of them and beat them all to a pulp...

"Then I won't disturb your card game any longer." Rita shook off her random thoughts, smiled at everyone, and got up to leave.

After Rita left, Shadow seemed to gradually come to his senses.

However, Ying looked like she didn't know what to say.

"Shadow, are you unhappy?" Fox Palace asked knowingly. "If you don't want Lord Liu Bai to be your brother-in-law, you might as well talk to your sister now and there's still a chance."

"...Lord Liu Bai doesn't know yet, does he?"

Ying looked very depressed.

"And, now that you mention it, my sister has been smiling more lately..."

"uh-huh……"

Fox Palace let out an ambiguous laugh and covered its face with a fan.

(Damn... I kind of want to see a twisted, melodramatic scene where sisters turn against each other for love, fight each other, and then end up crying in each other's arms...)

The mischievous gene was stirring, but reason told Fox Palace that this was not the right thing to do.

The fox palace's large tail was restless behind them, wagging like a propeller.

At that moment, Mikoto Chiyo reached out and put her hand on Kage's shoulder.

"Aying".

"Chiyo?"

"You like Lord Liu Bai too, don't you?"

“Eh? This… no…” Ying’s voice trailed off.

Although she was verbally refuting it, the moment Ying heard the question, images of Liu Bai flashed through her mind.

"It's okay! There's nothing shameful about it! A sister-in-law should steal her brother-in-law's man!"

Mikoto Chiyo's words silenced Kage once again.

Direct instigation—this person is also someone who loves to watch the drama unfold.

—What sister-in-law would do something like that!

"No, no! After all, it's my sister..."

"Shadow, don't get stuck on this."

Fox Palace knocked a folding fan on Shadow's head.

"Shadow, haven't you and your sister always been twins?"

"Um...yes, but what does this shrimp have to do with this witchcraft?" Ying asked, a look of confusion in her eyes.

?

"What is your position?"

"Shadow, shadow warrior."

"What is the duty of a shadow warrior?"

"To represent the general at certain occasions when necessary..."

"Could this be a scene in bed?"

"This... um..."

Ying blinked.

It could actually be that way. For example, if an enemy were to attempt an assassination, she could pretend to be her sister and feign sleep to lure the enemy out...

"No, they're different, aren't they?"

Although she still refused, Ying's tone was noticeably less firm than before.

"What if your sister agrees?"

"...Would my sister agree?"

Ying hesitated for a moment, but hesitation meant she was tempted.

Ying is probably shameless enough, but there's not much difficulty in persuading her about this.

It's not like I'm forcing a good person into prostitution. Ying herself had this intention all along; she just needed someone to open the door.

"Of course I'll agree. Do you think your sister's health can withstand Liu Bai's abuse?"

"This……"

"Putting aside your role as the younger sister, as a shadow warrior, shouldn't you share the lord's pain? Or are you planning to abandon your duties as a shadow warrior after the lord's marriage?"

"Well……"

No, something's still not right! Do you take me for a child?

—Although that's what she thought, this time, Ying didn't refute it.

"...After saying all this, we still need my sister's permission, right?"

Ying gave in. Although she didn't directly admit that she also liked Liu Bai, she ultimately couldn't deceive her heart.

Fox Palace smiled, but Ying remained unyielding. Was persuasion truly the problem?

They might have actually been planning this for a long time.

After all, these twin lotus flowers even share the same identity as "General".

Well, if the Shadow Warrior's explanation doesn't work, then Fox Palace will have to bring up the General's explanation.

There's always a reason that can make Shadow succumb to desire—who made Shadow, after hearing the medical advice (after three breaths of explosion), find her mind in a state of flux.

With the combined instigation of Fox Fairy and Mikoto Chiyo, it's no surprise that the Shadow's defenses were breached.

"Fox Palace... were you serious about supporting Lord Liu Bai's polygamy?" Ying gradually began to realize what was going on.

"Do I look like I'm not serious?" Fox Palace revealed a smile that left Shadow speechless.

Ying really wanted to say that you're rarely serious.

But... thinking about it carefully, this time everyone might be using a normal tone to say serious things.

"Wait, so that means..." Ying realized something else, "Fox Palace, did you plan this a long time ago? And you..."
