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

Hanabi grinned mischievously, seemingly pleased that someone had discovered this.

Seele's expression changed instantly.

If her question only raised a slight suspicion, then Hanabi's answer now confirms it—these things are not water balloons, but rather water-filled covers.

"And...it's not pure water in there either~"

Fireworks continued her winning streak, taking down the balloon hanging around her neck—don't ask exactly where it was hanging.

"Gentlemen...would you like to buy a copy of the 'medicine that turns Liu Bai into a beast'?"

See the picture poorly.

"Hey—! Himeko! We're leaving soon! Come on, have a drink!"

"Sorry, I don't drink."

Himeko rolled her eyes. "At least I won't drink this kind of... oolong tea that can be lit on fire."

"Ha—that's a real shame."

Ragnar gulped down a large mouthful.

"He's just as forthright as his name suggests."

Himeko looked at Ragnar and sighed.

Ragnar doesn't have a nickname, but the name is certainly not wrong.

He truly deserves the name of Ragnar, the legendary Norse hero and great pirate.

...However, when this person wears a maid outfit, no one would expect that he would be such a generous and uninhibited person at the dinner table.

"Ugh……"

"Himeko, why are you sighing?"

"I sigh for my future... no, for everyone's future—it's obvious you'll never find a man like this."

Himeko took a sip of the cocktail—compared to combustible oolong tea and combustible water, this thing could only be called a children's drink, and naturally it was not considered alcohol.

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say is right, you single PhD."

Ragnar rolled his eyes.

You're talking like you're surrounded by beautiful women, but nobody wants you anyway?

What are you pretending for? You'll be playing Purple Mood for the rest of your life anyway, won't you?

"Ah……"

Same as bullshit.

Himeko glanced at the group of people.

Once I get back, I'll most likely be working under Liu Bai!

Completely different from you guys!

"Himeko, you're not thinking that once you go to see Liu Bai, you can take advantage of your proximity to him and get the moon first, are you?"

Although Ragnar was already a bit tipsy, she still managed to easily discern Himeko's thoughts, which could be described as "the insight of a good teacher."

"That's not what I meant."

Himeko calmly denied it.

That's exactly what it means!

"Hmm... In other words, Himeko thinks that you haven't been able to find a good man all these years, have zero dating experience, and all your knowledge comes from soap operas. But after meeting Liu Bai, your fighting power skyrocketed, and you were able to win over a group of girls who are better than you, prettier than you, and even more capable than you?"

"..."

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Himeko admitted that she had broken down.

"If you ask me, Himeko, the right thing to do is find a big truck to travel through time."

Ragnar continued to finish off the enemy.

"...Are you really any better than me?"

"We've come to terms with reality."

Ragnar put his arm around Himeko's shoulder.

"Captain! Cheers!"

"cheers!"

Ragnar clinked glasses with his teammates and downed his drink in one gulp.

"...That's too tragic, isn't it?"

"You won't feel miserable if you don't think about it."

"Isn't that kind of mentality even more tragic!"

Himeko retorted fiercely.

"On the bright side, we haven't saved the world yet, so how can we indulge in personal feelings?"

"I don't have to be addicted, but there has to be something to it! Saying these things when you don't have it is just sour grapes, isn't it?"

Bang-!

Ragnar pressed Himeko's head down, making her forehead come into close contact with the bar counter.

"Himeko, people who tell the truth die young."

Ragnar gave a gentle teacher's smile.

"You guys are really escaping reality! At least I still have dreams!"

Himeko remained unconvinced.

"Even if the lines sound like those of a protagonist in a shonen manga, it can't hide the fact that this is a 30-year-old aunt's daydream."

Ragnar rested his chin on his hand. "Another cup of oolong tea, please!"

"Are you trying to dampen my enthusiasm?"

Himeko glared at Ragnar.

"Sigh, people have to face reality eventually, right?"

Ragnar looked at Himeko with an unyielding gaze, "Although Liu Bai might actually like a kind and approachable maid like me."

"A daydream of a woman in her thirties."

Bang-!

Himeko's forehead made intimate contact with the bar counter once again.

"Don't provoke people who are stronger than you."

Ragnar gave him another round of strict instruction.

"Our escapism is actually a way of recognizing reality."

"Then get rid of them and face reality."

"Oh, so you'll face the fact that you want to get married but can't find a husband?"

"..."

Yeah, right! Who would honestly admit to something like that!

No matter what, we have to give it our all!

"Actually, I think everyone just needs an opportunity."

Ragnar then changed the subject.

"Chance……?"

"Yes, everyone's conditions are pretty good, right? You, a top student in interstellar navigation dynamics, and me, a combat instructor. These are all elite Valkyries—in the end, it's the world's fault that we're leftover women!"

"Ah... I don't think it's that bad."

"Of course! Think about it! Even Senior Lewis could find a man! We just need a man like that!"

"I think Lewis's... I'd believe you if you said he stole it."

Himeko was speechless. "But... for someone like that, currently... Liu Bai?"

"Yeah! Liu Bai! The other day my little angel... no! That heartless girl told me she and Liu Bai had slept together! What a bastard! That kid has no filial piety towards me, her teacher, at all! She even called to brag about it!"

"..."

How are you expecting Rita to fulfill her filial duties...?

"Hey! What kind of look is that—don't you know? Seele and Bronya said they also went to the hot springs with Liu Bai, you know?"

"..."

Damn it! Those two girls have absolutely no respect for their teacher!

Himeko suddenly slammed her hand on the bar.

Damn it... Why are these girls' youths so romantic?!

Why should I, an old lady, have to stand here and argue with a bunch of drunken single women?!

Why should I?!

"Give me a cup of oolong tea!"

Chapter 415 A vengeful brat.

"Seele, stop fiddling with that thing."

In the dormitory, Bronya glanced at Seele, who was still fiddling with water balloons, and felt a little disappointed in her.

Do you really believe what Hanabi said?

"...She has no reason to lie to us, does she?"

Seele and Bronya hold opposing views.

"Who said that? What if she wants to use you to drug Liu Bai? You're not really going to be a fool and let someone else use you as a tool, are you?"

"Hmm... well, how about I have it tested by Dr. Ruan Mei?"

"Oh, then the next day there will probably be rumors like 'Sylvanas is a shrimp-headed girl pretending to be innocent'."

Although it may be a fair and objective statement.

"Woo..."

Seele let out a small, mournful cry.

It's all just a pretense by that shrimp-headed woman.

"I'm going to turn off the lights."

Bronya simply couldn't be bothered to care about Seele on this issue.

With a click, the dormitory lights were switched off, and Xi'er was still fiddling with water balloons at her desk.

So conflicted...

If Hanabi really used me to poison Liu Bai, wouldn't I be a sinner?

But... what if this really is the kind of drug I'm thinking of...?

No, no, no! Even if I used such a drug, wouldn't I still just be a despicable girl?

Despicable and defeated...

Seele was caught in a dilemma.
