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

I don't know how to answer, so I'll just pass the buck first.

"Ha... You're quite adept at shirking responsibility."

Black Tower narrowed his eyes, quite displeased with Estella's attempt to shift blame.

"Okay, fine... it was my initiative..."

Estella lowered her head.

Don't you have any shame?!

Black Tower suddenly threw the teddy bear from his bed at Estella.

"Ugh... Is this how it is, Ms. Black Tower, that you're going to get angry?"

"After doing something like this, you expect me not to get angry?!"

After Black Tower finished speaking, he took a deep breath.

"...Okay, maybe I really shouldn't have gotten angry. After all, there's no point in getting angry at a mediocre person."

Hei Ta rubbed his forehead, seemingly trying to regain his unfathomable image.

"But Ms. Ruan Mei did it too..."

Estella isn't the typical good girl; she's a real wolf in sheep's clothing.

As soon as Black Tower finished speaking, Estella seized upon the flaw in his words.

"Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?!"

Black Tower threw another crocodile plush toy at Estella.

"Since Ruan Mei did it too, why don't you go and become Ruan Mei's apprentice!"

"Actually, I still prefer you, Ms. Black Tower."

"Humph……"

Black Tower's expression softened slightly.

But at this point, Black Tower didn't know what to say about Estelle.

"...Is he really that charming?"

No! Not even a little bit!

Estella shook her head repeatedly.

Black Tower's complexion, which had just started to improve, darkened again.

"I don't have the same interest in him as you do! You don't need to be wary of me!"

"People who say things like that are easily blown away by boomerangs these days."

Estelle lowered her head guiltily, "Okay, fine, anyway, in my opinion right now... she really is very charming."

"You now... that's a pretty precise way of putting it. And, it seems you were quite happy last night?"

"Yes...yes, Liu Bai complimented me on how my breasts resemble a butterfly. It's the first time I've ever been complimented like that."

"..."

Black Tower looked at the unconscious smile on Estella's face and didn't know what to say for a moment.

It would be a problem if this wasn't the first time someone had praised you like this!

...My beloved disciple has become hopelessly infatuated with love.

"Um...Ms. Black Tower, aren't you at all interested in the BOSS...Liu Bai?"

"If you're asking whether I'm interested or not, then I am somewhat interested—but it's clear that my interests are different from yours."

Black Tower raised an eyebrow slightly.

"That guy... has a mysterious quality that makes people want to explore him."

"Oh... what a terrible start."

"..."

This guy is hopelessly in love.

“This is purely a scientific research idea, Estella, you better be serious—otherwise you won’t be able to stay as station chief when you get back.”

If I can't be a stationmaster, I might as well be a housewife—although that's what Estelle really wanted to say.

However, considering that the Black Tower was currently in a bad mood, they decided to abandon this provocation.

"The various props around him, this planet, and his growth path are full of wondrous elements. Estella, don't you feel like you're witnessing an epic?"

"……What?"

"How come I never knew you had such a foolish side..."

"Uh, so that means I'm now the Epic Lady?"

"...You can get out of here, Estádio."

-

The next day.

"Black Tower, it's rare to see you looking so down."

"Humph……"

The puppet Black Tower snorted coldly, ignoring Mebius who came over to show concern for him.

What good is the concern of the woman next to that guy?

"Stop with the nonsense. We still need to go outside today to conduct the quantum sea observation experiment on Huanlong's hands, right?"

"Because of your apprentice's relationship?"

"...Stop talking nonsense."

"I also have a student who's obsessed with romance."

Mebius spoke calmly.

Estelle was called away in full view of everyone, and Möbius found out about it with a little inquiry.

"...You have one too?"

Upon hearing this, Black Tower could no longer ignore Mebius.

"Oh! Senior Blanca, right!"

At this point, Danzhu also remembered.

"Don't talk like you know them."

Mebius rolled his eyes.

Danzhu had gotten those words out of Klein.

"Okay, Black Tower, you heard it too, that person's name is Blanca. Although it sounds a bit like I'm praising her, I really think if she focused on her studies, she might be able to catch up with me."

"……Then?"

"Then she became love-struck, quit her job, and got married."

"That's really... pitiful."

Black Tower's gaze toward Mebius immediately softened considerably.

The two of them are in such similar situations right now.

"But later..."

"later?"

"I've realized that it wasn't Blanca's fault either."

"...?"

"Love is something that happens when you find someone you click with..."

"Okay, you can get out."

Black Tower glanced disdainfully at the lustful Mebius.

I almost forgot, this guy is also love-struck.

"Wait, wait, wait! What I'm saying is that a planned relationship won't affect your career. Blanca is the kind of person who didn't plan her life and career well."

"...Won't this affect your career?"

Black Tower glanced at Estella, who was busy running around in the distance.

Hmm... if you put it that way, it seems a little easier to accept?

"Mebius, come and lend a hand."

As Ruan Mei passed by Möbius, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Also, this guy can't understand this kind of thing."

"...?"

I can't understand it—those four words are an insult to her!

"Ha ha……"

"Can you two please leave me out of your argument?"

Mebius was speechless.

"...Never mind, I'll go to the restroom first."

Ruan Mei seemed to have lost interest in getting entangled with the Black Tower.

Or rather, provoking someone and then running away?

"Then... I'll go take a look over there first?"

Ruan Mei turned and left. Mebius was also in a dilemma, but finally decided to go to Ruan Mei first to see if there was anything he could do to help.

She'll come over after the Black Tower team finishes their experiments.

But...did Ruan Mei not tell me what kind of help I needed?

-

"Ruan Mei? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Huh? No."

Ruan Mei looked at Mebius with a puzzled expression. "But if you want to just watch from the sidelines, I don't mind."

"No? You're just having fun—wait a minute."

Just as Möbius was about to question Nguyen Mai, he suddenly remembered something.

"Ruan Mei, where are you from?"

"living room."

"Oh..."

Mebius looked displeased. "Congratulations, Ruan Mei. It looks like someone is trying to frame your best friend."

"…Hanabi?"

-

"Tsk..."

Black Tower is very unhappy.

However, Black Tower wouldn't actually move closer to Liu Bai just because of such a low-level provocation.

That girl Ruan Mei... it was a joke before that she was obsessed with reproduction, but now she really is obsessed with reproduction.

She wouldn't fall for that.

"Mei, once you're ready, go and call Mebius over. This in-depth observation will begin immediately."

"Understood, I'll go call Liu Bai while I'm at it."
