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

"I'm telling you, you're too hesitant and overthinking."

A powerful voice echoed in Seele's mind.

She came out.

"It's precisely because you're the passive party that you're so hesitant and indecisive."

Her voice sounded disappointed and frustrated.

"If you forced yourself on Liu Bai, then Liu Bai is the one who needs to think twice!"

What outrageous nonsense is this?!

Although it was another version of herself who said these words, Seele was not so easily swayed by such outrageous remarks.

—But it seems like it might not be possible?

...Although it may sound like pure heresy and outrageous nonsense at first glance, is this "she" encouraging herself to calm down?

So the remaining question is... is this medicine genuine?

How can we verify the efficacy of this medicine?

"Want to take a sip yourself?"

"...It's not impossible."

Seele knows that her other self is somewhat illiterate.

However, sometimes the suggestions made by illiterate people are quite simple and honest.

"Let me search..."

Seele took out her phone and started searching for the mechanism of action of the drug.

Then, Seele's face gradually turned red.

"Hmm... is it... is it still okay to do this?"

Bronya: "..."

Hearing Seele's shy exclamation, Bronya promptly pulled the covers over her head.

"...So poison can be used for this kind of thing."

Toxins that irritate inflammation, anesthetics—simple and brutal.

Another method is to stimulate blood flow to the corresponding location, which is also a commonly used medication.

Some of the more extreme examples even include hallucinogens.

"...It's clear that men care a lot about this aspect."

Another version of herself made a comment that Seele wholeheartedly agreed with.

So on the other hand...

How do I test it myself?

Try applying a little yourself...? Although there are big differences between men and women, you can at least sense the effects of poison, right?

It's not really suitable to try something that only stimulates blood circulation... after all, the differences between men and women are quite significant...

As for hallucinogens... they probably won't produce something like that—and that's easier to test.

Well... how about giving it a try?

Bronya: "..."

Bronya listened to the sound of water outside and pulled the blanket over herself even tighter.

"...What do you want to do by asking me out so late?"

Peruvée stared coldly at the fireworks before her.

Although it was already past midnight, because the Far East Branch, or rather St. Freya Academy, was full of girls with excessive energy, there were still lights in several nearby dormitories, illuminating the blind spot where the two of them were.

"How cold~ There are clearly many people who are more possessive of your father than I am, Hanabi-sama, aren't there?"

Hanabi, still wearing her coat, responded with a smile.

As a masked fool, Hanabi is fond of people who appear cold and indifferent on the surface but are passionate and fiery on the inside.

"A pointless attempt to sow discord."

Peruvieri remained unmoved by Hanabi's sarcastic remarks.

Anyway, it's just the farts of a scheming person.

"But that's not what you really think, is it?"

Hanabi watched as Peruvier made a move to leave, but did not immediately step forward to stop her.

“Miss Peruvieri—your presence here is the best proof of your inner turmoil.”

"No, after meeting you, my resolve has only strengthened."

Peruvieri merely glanced back slightly before walking away slowly and resolutely.

She doesn't need such unorthodox methods on her path.

"...What a frightening mind."

Failed.

However, the fireworks display was not discouraging; it was just as expected.

She just wanted to see if Peruvieri was wavering.

"If such a person loses his support, he will probably perish even faster than a self-destructive person."

Hanabi suppressed her smile and gave her assessment.

"Lucky little girl."

If Liu Bai weren't so much more interesting than her, she really would have liked to tease Peruvian.

Hanabi took out a pocket watch from her coat pocket and casually flicked the cap open.

"It's getting late. Today's results are for Seele and Bronya..."

……

"Peruveli failed... but it doesn't matter. I'm going to expand my network of relationships with Seele and Bronya next."

With lifeless eyes, Hanabi reported the current situation in a deathly voice.

"So the person who just left was Peipei."

Liu Bai had just finished his work in the lab when he happened to run into Hua Huo, who was muttering to herself.

It was obvious at a glance that this kid wasn't up to anything good, so I promptly started hypnosis.

Since this wasn't a play, Liu Bai added an extra patch to prevent the fireworks from remaining conscious this time.

Maintaining consciousness while the body is hypnotized is a feature exclusive to Play.

Getting back to the point, it was probably because it was too dark by the roadside that Peruvieri didn't notice Liu Bai, and Liu Bai didn't notice Peruvieri either.

Instead, it was Liu Bai who saw the fireworks.

"What does 'extension' refer to...?"

Liu Bai was somewhat curious about Bronya's methods.

"For example, Cocolia."

Under hypnosis, Hanabi explained very honestly, "Cocolia can then be extended to Hotaru, Kaffa..."

Wait a minute, are these two people very familiar with Cocolia...? Well, they were indeed under the same roof when they were in the Dust Song Pot.

Cocolia Rand actually gets along well with everyone.

If the Taixu Sword Sect is the hidden boss-level stronghold on Liu Bai's side, then Cocolialand is the hidden good guy on Liu Bai's side.

Those who joined during the Sky Dome period—including Ryuki, Katsura Naifen, Yomi, and even the Domination and Cocolia—have reasonable relationships, and Inazuma is an even closer acquaintance.

Later, during the journey to the far north and the journey to Taixu and Liyue, Cocolia was somewhat sidelined, but she later followed Huangquan Xueyi to quell the remaining Honkai.

Not to mention that even now, Cocolia just doesn't participate much in decision-making.

This person has a much larger social circle than Bronya and Seele.

To put it bluntly, these two people, Mei and Kiana, who aren't very familiar with each other on this timeline, basically have no interpersonal relationship whatsoever.

Of the three starter Pokémon, only Mei and Kiana have a decent relationship now. Bronya is only nodding acquaintances with these two, far from the "iron triangle" in the story.

"And then extend outwards from Cocolia? Are you sure?"

"Liu Bai is a very good candidate, so I'm confident."

Fireworks replied listlessly, clearly trusting Liu Bai's charm quite a bit.

That's indeed the case. It wasn't Liu Bai's fault that he couldn't persuade Peruvieri; it was because Peruvieri was unable to communicate.

If Peruvieri were willing to stay a while and listen to her talk, Hanabi would actually be 70% confident that she could sway Peruvieri.

"...and then it extends all the way to everyone in my network?"

"Yes."

Fireworks nodded.

"...What's the point of doing this?"

"A super-large-scale battleground, I think that would be extremely interesting."

How awful.

Isn't this building happiness on the suffering of others?

...Although this kind of thing is quite common.

Liu Bai is now building his happiness on the suffering of others.

Will you join?

Although Liu Bai was inwardly complaining, he didn't really care about this chaotic situation.

It's just a battleground.

It's okay, he cheats on everyone the same way!

"of course not."

No, you will join.

Liu Bai decisively began making revisions.

"……Why?"

Since it's currently in question-and-answer mode, Hanabi neither refused nor directly accepted the order.

"Because this is an activity you planned, only by acting as the 'fuse' can the explosives be detonated quickly."

"Understood, I will be the catalyst for this."

Hanabi nodded listlessly.

"...Just asking, what do you think of me as a person?"

“Very interesting.”

This impression was probably subtly altered by hypnosis...

Don't you care about what happened before?

"I care a lot, so I'm preparing for revenge."

Hanabi's honest answer under hypnosis left Liu Bai somewhat speechless.

"I mean, holding a grudge or being concerned about that aspect."

"If you lose, you lose."

Fireworks slowly opened its mouth.
