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

Furthermore, their political sensitivity led them to realize that Rita's questioning of Liu Bai might be an attempt to intimidate them.

However, they really couldn't do anything about Rita.

If Rita targets others indiscriminately, she'll be courting death, but if she only targets those four... someone will definitely back her up.

"Alright, Mr. Liu Bai, it's getting late, shouldn't we go to sleep?"

Rita urged Liu Bai with a smile.

"The first night in the new room... I also want to try sleeping in this big bed."

That sounds like something a newlywed would say.

However, Liu Bai seemed to know who Rita was talking to.

"...Then let's give it a try."

Liu Bai didn't say anything stupid like, "Fu Shi isn't here, so you can go back."

Then, Rita, who was by the door, turned off all the lights in the room.

"Well then, goodnight, Mr. Liu Bai."

"..."

Liu Bai lightly tapped the bathroom door twice—signaling the four inside to good luck—before slowly returning to the corner of the room—the spot that used to be Liu Bai's bedroom.

Rita, meanwhile, quietly made her way to the location she remembered from before, in the dark.

"...The flavor is really strong."

Rita sniffed the sheets.

As for Rita, it's really hard to comment.

(One against four... um...)

Although she has no practical experience, isn't that quite remarkable from a theoretical point of view?

Rita didn't continue smelling the sheets—she wasn't some kind of perverted woman interested in other people's battlefield ruins.

Instead, he walked to the bathroom door and lay down—making a lot of noise on purpose.

"!"

This caused Keqing, who was just about to step out of the bathtub, to freeze in place.

"bully……"

Just as Ke Qing was about to say something, Gan Yu quickly covered Ke Qing's mouth from behind.

Fortunately, both of them moved quietly and did not make much noise.

"Mr. Liu Bai, is there any noise coming from your bathroom?"

"Yes, is there?" The two were not far apart, and they could hear each other with a normal voice.

"Probably... though I didn't hear it clearly."

Rita, her voice full of laughter, gently knocked on the bathroom door.

You bastards, you look down on me, huh? I'll start by taking down the four of you!

"Perhaps they are some rats who covet your body, Mr. Liu Bai."

This is outrageous!

Hearing the mocking tone outside, Ke Qing's body trembled with anger.

Who's the mouse?!

I'm just shameless!

Gan Yu quickly patted Ke Qing's shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

A small leak will sink a great ship!

Upon hearing this, Liu Bai immediately pretended to be asleep.

Cheating is fun for a moment, but if you keep cheating... cough cough, no.

In other words, if you keep doing this kind of thing, you're bound to encounter this situation sooner or later.

Seeing that Liu Bai did not respond, Rita smiled gently, found a pillow, and actually lay down at the bathroom door.

(This bed... is so big that it's impossible to sleep soundly.)

"...Mr. Liu Bai, shall we do it?"

Rita stared at the ceiling and blurted out this sentence as if possessed.

"Huh?" This time, Liu Bai didn't react.

"That's what you just did."

"……seriously?"

"Hmm...maybe not." Rita pondered for a moment, then sighed softly.

"It's quite frightening to hear someone say something like that so suddenly."

"So, if you were asked to answer, you would refuse?"

"Hmm... okay, to be fair, I think you'd agree, right?" Bai's tone was slightly embarrassed.

"...That's an overly honest answer."

Rita seemed to be sighing again.

"I originally thought that assassinating you would become a difficult task, but now it seems that it is still incredibly easy."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Bai didn't understand for a moment.

Rita's tone held a hint of amusement: "What I mean is... perhaps it would be easy to assassinate you by simply applying some poison underneath or inserting a needle?"

"Undeniable... This really is how a lowly villain from the underworld dies..."

Liu Bai suddenly felt that he couldn't keep up with Rita's leaps in thought.

"However, normally I would definitely not sleep with a woman I've just met... probably."

"Please be more confident in your answer... but never mind."

Rita stared at the ceiling.

"...Really not going to do it?"

"You shouldn't be asking me this question from a certain perspective, right?" Bai sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Rita's questions seemed off no matter how you answered them.

"How did you and other people develop that kind of relationship?" Rita asked curiously.

Although she herself hadn't made up her mind about whether to do it or not, it didn't stop her from being curious about how others had managed to get to this point with Liu Bai.

After all, Liu Bai is honest, but he still has enough self-control.

"Hmm...they took off their clothes and came into my arms?"

"And then you lost your self-control? Did your self-control come from your clothes?"

"...Isn't that normal?"

"..."

Thinking about it carefully, it does seem quite normal.

Speechless.

"Especially since..." Bai thought for a moment, "the girl has made such a decision, I should at least respond, right?"

"Please don't portray this seduction plot like a hot-blooded drama—and I think it depends on the girl."

Rita's sharp and witty remarks.

"At least I don't think Kaffa would make any sacrifices by seducing you."

However, Rita actually agrees with what Liu Bai said.

At least Rita wouldn't ask other men "whether they want to do it or not".

To be able to offer oneself as a bedmate... truly shows a kind of resolute determination, like "once the arrow is released, there's no turning back."

Rita found it hard to imagine how someone as serious as Keqing and the others could seduce Liu Bai.

...Although that doesn't prevent some women from simply being provocative.

(Oh no... why am I forgiving Liu Bai... no, this kind of thing doesn't need my forgiveness at all right now, does it?)

Although Rita had already decided to hang those bastards up and whip them.

(...but this idea seems a bit unrealistic.)

"So, what if I took off my clothes now and straddled your waist...?"

"I welcome this—but shouldn't we think about it carefully?"

"…Indeed."

Rita sighed deeply.

To be honest, I definitely have feelings for Liu Bai.

The political perspective goes without saying.

From a personal perspective... although Liu Bai's thinking is sometimes... no, often a bit messed up.

But she only ate this one bite.

Although they're reluctant to admit it, the two of them actually share a lot in common when it comes to having absurd thought processes.

Hmm... but taking off all your clothes... is that really necessary?

Rita thought about it carefully for a moment.

If I really wanted to force myself on Liu Bai...

Why not just put the drugs directly in the food and drinks?

From a moral standpoint, this seems even less desirable than offering oneself as a bedmate.

Ah, now that I think about it, I should have locked Liu Bai in the dark room with strong alkali earlier.

This way, there is absolutely no risk of being rejected.

Ultimately, what these people are afraid of is being rejected, right?

She was rejected even when she offered herself as a concubine, which was tantamount to a complete denial of her value as a woman.

...Thinking about it this way, the four bastards in the bathroom don't seem so repulsive anymore?

—Yes, Rita's reason for targeting the four people in the bathroom wasn't actually because she realized she was being used as a pawn.

Instead, these four shameless people were playing a trick on him.

To put it bluntly, someone stole Rita's mantle! This is absolutely intolerable.

...Although she and Liu Bai didn't have any real relationship.

However, on the other hand, if Yang Liuliu really wanted to do something with other people, Ritas said she would actively try to avoid suspicion.

—Her initiative to avoid suspicion and your attempt to lure her away from the situation to have an affair are two completely different things!

— Simply put, Rita, the secretary, has now acted like the mistress of the house.

(I think I still have quite a few opportunities...)

Although we could kick the ball at the last minute right now...

However, considering that Liu Bai had just fought four opponents alone, and that he had been looked down upon by those guys.

Let's just keep pretending for now.

(Since you underestimate me, then you'll have to pay a small price...)

…………

Once Rita's breathing outside had gradually stabilized, Keqing and Ganyu grew bolder.
