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

Mei secretly glanced at Peruvier.

Beneath his calm expression lay a feeling of "jealousy has distorted my very being."

Ah, I feel like this person's rationality is about to snap—they really like Liu Bai.

Cocolia, her hands trembling, pressed the shutter button beside her.

She felt that this matter might have offended someone...

"Let's try a different pose for the next one, darling."

After the shutter clicked, Ruan Mei released her hands from Liu Bai's neck and slowly knelt down.

Ah... this pose.

"I can't wait." Ruan Mei stared at the figure in front of her, a longing smile on her face.

"Don't do that, don't do that."

Mei quickly grabbed Peruvier, who was about to walk forward.

"Don't forget, you're in a cold war right now. A cold war is when whoever backs down first loses. And she took drugs! She took drugs!"

“…Sir, this really can’t be filmed.” Cocolia looked at Ruan Mei, whose little hands were fidgeting, and pointed to Peruvieri.

That murderous aura was no joke.

Liu Bai nodded and pulled up Ruan Mei, who was kneeling in front of him with her restless little hands.

"...Darling, I haven't even had a chance to admire your magnificent form yet," Ruan Mei said with a coquettish reluctance. "Or are you trying to test my abilities as a wife?"

"Don't give me any strange impressions of these normal words."

Liu Bai's lips twitched.

In another place, Liu Bai would certainly not mind testing Ruan Mei's abilities, but here...

"Peru, I haven't done anything yet!"

"..."

Peruvieri didn't say anything, but Liu Bai sensed that "flames of hatred" were beginning to burn in her pupils.

How long can Mei, as an ordinary person, hold onto Peruvier?

Or rather, how much longer can Peruvieri keep up with Mei?

Mei had obviously thought of this as well, and gave Liu Bai a wink.

Stop playing around and fix this!

At the same time, Mei also used her trump card against Peruvieri.

Mei leaned close to Peruvier's ear, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

"...Peru, are you feeling lonely because of this cold war these past few days?"

"..."

Mei noticed that Peruvier looked a little uneasy.

After all, she had only known Peruvier for a short time. She only met Peruvier after the research started here, and it had been less than a week since they met. Not to mention that she had spent half of that week outside.

The reason she and Peruvier seemed so familiar was simple: the identities of "Liu Bai's friend" and "Chen Ge Hu's companion" were incredibly useful.

It's fair to say that most people here have little to no guard against these two identities—not in the serious sense.

Unlike other times, people started their conversation from the perspective of strangers.

So, Mei's words now are actually... a bit overstepping, or rather, a bit too forward—after all, her knowledge of Peruvian and Liu Bai's relationship is just hearsay and gossip, so it's not appropriate to make any rash comments now.

So Mei is now observing Peruvieri's expression.

Peruvéri's expression froze upon hearing this.

Is he lonely because of his cold war with Liu Bai?

What a joke!

Don't talk like she can't live without Liu Bai!

"Mei, are we that close?"

As expected, that's what they said.

Mei's expression remained relatively calm. After all, she was a cool and aloof academic star in high school, the kind of person who didn't need friends.

Even if I was told that, I didn't feel anything.

However, time has been gained.

Cocolia then launched an ice attack on Ruan Mei, and without saying a word, dragged her away as her eyes gradually cleared and her face showed shame and anger.

Peruvian gave Ruan Mei a hostile look, then sized up Liu Bai from head to toe.

“…Hmph.” Peruvieri snorted coldly, then turned and went upstairs without any hesitation.

It has to be said that today's MVP is Mei—that last sentence caused Peruvier a ton of mental damage.

Peruvéli went upstairs with a gloomy face.

(When did I become someone who would feel lonely without her? What a joke! At the very least, I have...)

Ah, it seems like it's been a while since I called Clementine.

Is this what they call... a haven of gentle pleasures?

Peruvée suddenly felt a little regretful.

Should I have tried to reconcile with Liu Bai just now...? No! I should regret neglecting Clementine's health these past few days!

Chapter 266 It's over, it's over. What kind of BOSS is this?

"Domination, you're just watching?"

"The subordinates neglected their duties."

As an excellent subordinate, the Ruler of Domination did not argue but directly admitted his mistake.

Anyway, even if this happened again, they would still choose to watch. After all, Liu Bai himself is still struggling with the decision, so how could she, as his subordinate, make decisions on her own?

"I'll be more careful next time." Bai Sha nodded seriously. "By the way, Dominator, do you think we should prepare some condoms at home?"

I don't feel very safe lately.

Especially Ruan Mei, to be honest, Liu Bai wasn't quite sure whether Ruan Mei's so-called "conception probability +30%" was a direct addition to the base probability or some other more complex algorithm.

It would be more interesting to just add the base probability directly.

In the case of pseudo-probability, the minimum probability is one out of four hits.

"I don't think it's necessary."

"Hmm? In your eyes, this situation is not necessary?" Bai asked, looking at the Herrscher of Domination.

—There must be something wrong with using the Herald of Domination as a strategist.

"No, what I mean is that the vast majority of people will not give you the opportunity to wear it."

The Herrscher of Domination spoke with a hint of worry.

"Not to mention, including Ms. Ruan Mei, many people are probably members of the no-condom party."

"..."

This guy, why is he spouting such obvious truths?

…………

Peruvéli's room.

"Pellu, good afternoon. What brings you here to call me?"

In the video, Clementine, who seemed to be in much better spirits, gave Peruvier a bright smile.

"And how is Father doing lately?"

Ughhhhh! Why is Clementine mentioning that guy too?!

"What's wrong? Peru, is there something you want to say?"

"……nothing."

Now that Clementine can perceive her own emotional changes, is it because her emotional management skills are declining?

"Father... well, the same as always." Peruvier coughed slightly awkwardly, trying to regain her composure.

Forget it, to avoid worrying Clementine, I won't tell her about the conflict between me and Liu Bai.

"What does 'the same old thing' mean?" Clementine asked curiously. "I haven't even met Father yet, and he's already gone."

“Well… he’s very busy, after all.” Peruvier then remembered that Clementine had never actually met Liu Bai, so she made up an excuse for Liu Bai.

"Yes, I know. It's just a bit of a pity that I didn't thank Father after being saved by him. By the way, is Father home now?"

“He… um… just went out.” Peruvieri hesitated for a moment before lying.

"Is that so... What a pity."

Clementine looked slightly disappointed.

(...I'm doing this for your own good, Clementine.)

Peruvieri sat up in bed, as if this would help her better conceal her expression and alleviate her guilt.

There will definitely be another chance next time.

"Okay! Then next time." Clementine was an optimist by nature, and after resolving her mother's inner conflict, she became very optimistic and positive.

(Looking at it this way, I really am a dark person...) There was absolutely no way to hide the guilt in my heart.

"By the way, Peroo, is there something you wanted to talk to me about?"

"I... just wanted to see how your recovery is going."

Peruvieri actually wanted to take this opportunity to vent to Clementine, but seeing Clementine's current state, she simply couldn't bring herself to do it.

“She’s recovering very well.” Clementine seemed to be proving this by jumping up and down a few times. “She can already resume Valkyrie training with her mother.”

"Didn't I tell you that person is no longer Kujavina?"

Peruvieri frowned. A Herrscher of Domination disguised as Kugavina was no good.

...Although over the past few days, Peruvieri's opinion of the Herrscher of Domination has changed somewhat.

"Well, but..."

"No need to say anything, I think I understand." Peruvieri sighed, looking at Crevie's slightly conflicted expression.

Kujavina now is just like the ideal mother Clementine imagined.

So even though she knew her current mother was fake, Clementine didn't mind treating her as real—after all, she had long since seen through the true Kugavina's true nature, and it was because she couldn't sever her bond with her daughter that she fell into despair.

However, the Herrscher of Domination, Kujavina, has managed to create the image of a good mother that Clementine had imagined in the past.

So Clementine simply pretended not to know that Kujavina had been replaced.

It's true that everyone is acting, but what's wrong with this acting creating a harmonious and warm family?

It's better than a bloodbath where killing continues.

"By the way, Peroo, before Father passed away, he asked Aunt Rosalyn to build a simple and secluded cemetery for everyone who died. It was just completed the day before yesterday. If you have the chance, you can come back and take a look."

"He... um, I understand."

Peruvieri hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"It's simple and secluded; it's indeed a good place. I'll go back if I have the chance."

No need for large-scale construction; a simple and secluded place is the best resting place for these children.

Unfortunately, some people may not even be able to find their remains.

“Don’t just talk the talk,” Clementine said, seemingly trying to lighten the somewhat heavy atmosphere. “Peru, you’ve been by Father’s side all this time, you must have experienced a lot of interesting things, right? Tell me about them.”

“Is it something interesting?” Peruvieri’s eyes showed a hint of hesitation. “Hmm… let me think about where to start.”
