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

"Makes sense."

Ruan Mei nodded, then placed a pastry without her own mark onto someone else's plate.

(Gulp...) Estella's expression froze for a moment.

That was something she poisoned.

"Ahem, then the pastries on this plate are for the BOSS."

Estella picked out one without her own energy mark and placed it on the plate that Ruan Mei had just put there.

The reason is simple: only Liu Bai can ignore the effects of the Love Elixir.

Otherwise, this thing... would most likely be indistinguishable from animals.

"..."

Ruan Mei watched as the pastries marked with her own mark were released, her expression slightly tense.

But then she remembered that the pastry was for Liu Bai, and she relaxed.

Anyway, Liu Bai wouldn't notice anything wrong with it.

"Then this one is for Liu Bai."

Ruan Mei nodded, then placed another pastry on another plate. "Then this one is for Gui Naifen?"

"This……"

Estella's pupils contracted slightly.

"I think... we should give the BOSS a little more, right?"

Eating this stuff will definitely expose the truth; the plan is to gamble that Liu Bai is "a suspected gentleman."

They won't say anything even if they discover it—but only if everyone gets sick at the same time!

"After all, the BOSS is strong and healthy, and he has to pay his dues every night, so he needs to take care of his health."

Estelle found a flawless excuse.

"...That makes sense."

After thinking it over, Ruan Mei nodded seriously.

She didn't want to hear Liu Bai say something like "not a single drop is left," which was such a pathetic statement.

Thus, the two, each harboring their own secrets yet unaware of them, successfully reached a tacit understanding—perhaps it was precisely because they reached this understanding that they didn't realize it.

The two of them placed the pastries that they did not have marked on Liu Bai's plate.

(Hmm...although quite a few were picked over, there are still some left...)

(This is enough for now...)

Each of them was thinking of their own things, completely ignoring... or rather, not noticing that the other was picking out their own items.

Because this wasn't cleaned properly!

Now, apart from Liu Bai, almost everyone else has the same amount of pastries. Of course, Hei Ta still gets a little more than the others, but both of them have stopped eating.

Because now, the black tower plate is filled with... pastries that have been double-added.

Liu Bai's pastries, on the other hand, were made with added ingredients only once.

If the two of them completely identify each other, then the matter will definitely be exposed, and they will immediately discover that the other is a double just like themselves.

But now, both sides feel that they have added ingredients to the remaining pastries.

Now Nguyen Mai and Esther are both satisfied with the remaining quantity.

Perhaps the two had some doubts during this period, but now, even if they had any, those doubts have been dispelled.

—If the other party thinks the same way I do, they wouldn't leave my things behind, would they?

Not to mention the information gap between the two. In Ruan Mei's view, all the pastries were made by herself, and no one else could interfere.

In Estella's view, she acted without anyone noticing.

The pastries on the plate now further prove this point.

—I still have so many of my own homemade pastries; the other party must not have discovered what I've done!

……

"...What is this, a late-night snack?"

Liu Bai looked at the pastries on his plate, which amounted to more than the main course, and his expression was somewhat strange.

"After all, you are the commander of an army."

Yue Yu said calmly.

However, apart from Liu Bai himself, no one else seemed to think there was anything wrong.

Liu Bai is the head of the family, not to mention that Aistara and Ruan Mei are his private consorts. How could he possibly serve Liu Bai too little food?

Even someone like Yue Yu, who didn't understand the relationship between Liu Bai, thought there was nothing wrong with the situation, let alone his own family who already knew the situation.

Many people even genuinely believed that Ruan Mei was only cooking for them because of Liu Bai…

"Eat more now so you'll have energy tonight."

Ruan Mei spoke calmly, appearing completely unafraid of Liu Bai discovering her presence.

...It's very likely that Liu Bai will find out, but it's also unlikely that Liu Bai will find out.

If she really got to the point where Liu Bai would be trembling with fear every time she cooked for him...

Oh, okay, that's probably how it was when the two of them had a conflict.

"Makes sense."

Ruan Mei's words immediately drew the agreement of everyone.

Liu Bai could only feel helpless about this.

However, he is now a superman, with a physique that grants him digestive abilities and conversion efficiency far exceeding those of ordinary people.

Actually, we can finish all of these.

After successfully dealing with Liu Bai, Ruan Mei turned her attention to the Black Tower.

Estella also looked at the Black Tower.

In particular, Estád and Heita were sitting together, closer to each other than Nguyen Mai.

"Ms. Black Tower, aren't you going to eat?"

"I……"

Black Tower felt that the strange feeling from before was still chasing her.

An instinctive feeling that something was wrong.

Could Ruan Mei have added something strange to it?

—The Black Tower has finally touched upon the truth.

But then another problem arises.

What can Ruan Mei add to herself?

Computer accessories?

No, no, no... Who would actively find a woman for their husband to sleep with?

Is that some kind of revenge tactic?

...That doesn't seem like it either. My communication with Ruan Mei recently has been no different from usual. We talk when we need to, and we scold each other when we need to. Ruan Mei is not a petty person in this regard.

So... does this feeling actually have nothing to do with Ruan Mei?

The Black Tower struggles to understand this logic—even though it has long known that idiots and itself cannot share the same logic.

However, in Black Tower's eyes, Nguyen Mai was clearly not an idiot.

—As a result, the Black Tower has strayed from the truth once again.

"Ms. Black Tower, aren't you going to eat?"

Estella asked, like a concerned disciple who cares about his teacher.

"I……"

Black Tower hesitated slightly, "I...I think this is a bit too much for me."

Black Tower looked around and immediately found a reason for himself.

"Even in order to maintain my perfection, I should maintain an appropriate weight."

It's so strange, she really felt something was off about today.

Black Tower glanced at Estella again.

Estella seems...too normal?

There didn't seem to be any unusual enthusiasm.

Ruan Mei had no reason to scheme against herself.

Who else has the mind to scheme against themselves?

……

Black Tower suddenly looked at Fireworks.

Without a doubt, it's fireworks.

After all, there are always some people in the world who don't need to be too logical in their actions.

If this guy had schemed against me, then everything would make sense.

Okay, actually, people who enjoy themselves are just naturally good at taking the blame.

However, the fireworks were just starting...

(Damn it—! How can I steal the photos back from Liu Bai? Should I get the Valkyrie's little girl drunk and put her on Liu Bai's bed? Or should I secretly lock Liu Bai up while he's sleeping and then have some fun with him?)

Hanabi has absolutely no interest in talking to anyone else now.

The most urgent task now is to delete the photos of myself being played with by Liu Bai as a kitten.

That's practically the dark history of the Masked Fool!

Whose masked fool will become someone else's kitten in their arms?

"How about I switch with Hanabi? Hanabi is still growing, isn't she?"

Ruan Mei & Aista: "?!"

What's happening here?

"...?"

Hanabi, whose name was suddenly called, also looked puzzled.

But Hanabi snapped back to reality and thought about what the Black Tower had said...

"Sure, Sister Black Tower~"

Huahua, who was originally thinking about how to set a trap for Liu Bai, immediately showed a sunny smile.

The Black Tower has been dealt with and is no longer effective.

Did she misunderstand Hanabi?

Hanabi didn't seem to have caught the fox's tail at all.

Ruan Mei and Aista both looked hesitant to speak.

However, neither of them spoke.

They couldn't be sure if the Black Tower had sensed something and that's why it suddenly said that.

"Let's change it now."

"can."
