To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Do you know the pain of doing homework with only a core and no brain? The core is very smooth, without a single wrinkle.

“That’s true, to avoid Celine dragging her feet again, let’s go quickly,” Cecilia agreed with Lomo’s idea.

She likes having her daughter at home, but it feels a bit strange to stay home all the time. She needs to go out for walks, just not like her other two daughters who never come home anymore.

One went to protect the world, while the other stayed at the academy, because, in her words, she didn't want others to know her mother was Cecilia and thus suffer differential treatment.

But didn't they actually slip up today? Cecilia sneered.

Looking at Mei, who was gentle, virtuous, and like a Yamato Nadeshiko, Cecilia thought, "She's really quite nice." The more Cecilia looked at her, the more she liked her.

But she's my daughter! Not my daughter-in-law!

However, if Kiana really brought back a man, even if she's seriously injured and on the verge of death, she'd still want to spar with him. If it were Siegfried, she'd probably give him a Heavenly Judgment.

My mind was racing with random thoughts, but I didn't know how to express them or how to put them into words.

I suddenly realized that Theresa's decision to stop the female ketosis was surprisingly reasonable and showed some foresight. It would be better if it were a bit stricter.

Little did they know, Theresa also harbored feelings for her, though those feelings gradually faded.

And she was about to head to another female ketone base—Golden Courtyard.

...

In a uniquely styled villa, two cherry blossom trees stand out prominently in the courtyard.

Petals danced in the wind, falling in droves.

I don't know what secret method they used, but even though it's not the season for cherry blossoms, and this place isn't suitable for planting them, they're blooming so profusely.

More often than not, the flowers are filled with expensive and gorgeous bouquets, arranged with great skill, clearly the work of a master artist. No matter which angle you look at them from, they have a unique charm.

Cecilia was amazed by the arrangement of the courtyard.

Upon entering, one could hear girls laughing and joking loudly inside.

As the saying goes, you hear someone's voice before you see them.

"Seele, let me see, and Bronya too. Stop trying to change the subject, your technique for changing the subject is too clumsy." A lively voice came through the door.

"Impossible. Even if she gives everything, Bronya... will never give up. Seele is everything to Bronya!" The emotionless, mechanical voice replied firmly.

Cecilia hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Lomo. Was this place really alright?

Why does it feel like we're having a party?

That's weird! I'm a mother myself, going in like this... isn't really appropriate.

"Who's outside? Get in here!" the furious voice roared.

"Qianjie, be polite to your guests, please..." The gentle voice seemed to be both comforting and admonishing.

"Hmph! Please get in here!"

Luo Mo, who was about to push the door open, stopped himself. He thought, "Why should I just go in like that?" Thinking about it carefully, this was originally his house. Qian Jie was really something. Why didn't he just shut up? He grumbled, but still opened the door. After all, it was impossible for him to turn back because of this.

Inside, Yingjie and his companions were sitting or leaning in various parts of the hall, all present, as if they were having a meeting.

Alicia stopped grabbing Seele's hand and turned around. Bronya also breathed a sigh of relief; the other girl had just been playing a childish game of tag with her.

As for her, of course she couldn't possibly lose, but she was almost snatched away by the 'eagle' a few times, only to be held back by Seele from behind.

"Yo, Luo Mo, you're here too? And who are these gentlemen?"

“Take a closer look; you should have just seen it.” Luo Mo stepped aside, moving closer to Bronya.

Only then did Alicia see the full appearance of the person behind her; it was indeed someone she had just seen, only on a screen.

There's Mei, the character she plays on a game screen; Kiana, whom she's been trying to persuade to join them; and then there's...

“Wow, Cecilia, and little Sirin,” she said, her eyebrows curving upwards, clearly delighted with her presence.

Although the game doesn't have a happy ending, wouldn't it be even more joyful to see people you thought were gone in real life?

"Luo Mo, I'll forgive you for now and won't curse you anymore!" Alicia walked past Luo Mo and greeted him directly.

Evil Gu? What did I do? I just wanted to share the stories I knew with everyone, so why are there so many opinions about me? Isn't this prejudice? Luo Mo didn't reflect on his actions at all.

At this moment, Bronya asked in a low voice, "Boss, who is that woman? How come Bronya can't beat her at all?"

Luo Mo looked at Bronya's flat plain, sighed softly, and said with compassion, "Bronya, don't panic, you can do it. Make an eight-year agreement with her, and you will definitely be able to turn the tide!"

Bronya fell silent for a moment. Would it really take eight years to surpass the other person?

Why does the boss keep mentioning the word "8 years"?

Bronya didn't quite understand, but she would definitely try her best to learn the knowledge of the Herrscher of Reason and become stronger so that she could better protect Seele!

Chapter 35 Introductions of Both Parties with Faces Smeared

"Boss, how did you find these people?" Bronya looked at the group of heroes and whispered to Luo Mo.

"Now that you're here, you must know who they are, right?"

"Knowing it is one thing, but it's still hard to believe. Would heroes from a previous civilization descend upon this place? It sounds like something out of a book."

Even now, Bronya's eyes still held suspicion as she looked at the people before her.

At the doorway of the room, two beautiful young women began to talk.

"Oh, hello there! Are you Miss Cecilia? It's nice to meet you!"

Alicia took a few steps forward, looked at the white-haired beauty in front of her, gently clasped her hands, and greeted her warmly.

Seeing Cecilia looking at her strangely, Alicia assumed it was because they weren't very familiar with each other yet.

"Oh dear, what should we do? Luo Mo, why don't you act as a middleman and introduce us? Hmm!?"

Luo Mo lowered his head slightly, thinking to himself that he really needed to break the deadlock at this moment!

But just in case, like checking the ropes before bungee jumping, he decided to double-check.

"Alicia, are you sure... you want me to introduce you?"

“Yes,” Alicia nodded slightly, sensing that he was asking a question he already knew the answer to. “Among the people present, you are the only one who is familiar with both sides, so why shouldn’t you do it?”

"Ahem," Luo Mo coughed lightly twice, smiled slightly, and intended to properly harmonize the relationship between the two parties.

"Wait, boss, Bronya and Seele don't need to." Bronya wanted to get out of the battle first; she had a feeling that the boss was about to trick them.

"What are you talking about? A fake Herrscher of Reason? Well, alright, let's introduce the others first."

Luo Mo sighed helplessly, but thinking that Bronya hadn't suffered much yet, he decided to vent his resentment from drawing the Herrscher of Truth before. It should have been two S-rank items, but he felt like he had drawn a fake.

Damn it, why do Herrschers need to expose fakes?

A fake, fake Lawbringer? Bronya's cheeks twitched and her lips twitched. Although she didn't quite understand the specific meaning, she wasn't foolish enough to ask.

"Let me introduce you. In the game, you'll learn that Cecilia was once the strongest S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, but she lost her power during the Second Honkai Impact. What you might not know is that she is also the mother of the current strongest Valkyrie, Durandal. Of course, Kiana and Sirin are also her daughters."

Luo Mo's first introduction was fairly normal.

He decided to first suppress and then praise in order to maximize the effect.

"Hmm, Durandal too? She doesn't quite look like her," Alicia clapped her hands in response.

"Following behind her are her daughter, Sirin. She used to be the Second Herrscher, but now she's an autistic shut-in, a complete failure in life, and is entirely supported by Bella and Cecilia."

Luo Mo smiled and betrayed Xi Lin. Xi Lin, who had been looking down and unsure how to greet him, looked up in surprise at Luo Mo, who was exposing her secrets.

Her golden eyes were burning—what kind of introduction is that?! She has her pride too.

"A shut-in? A useless person? Is she still a Herrscher?" Qianjie's originally unfriendly gaze froze, finding it unbelievable.

"Hmph! Who are you? Want to try?" Xilin, who had just been contemplating whether she was confident in wiping out the group of people in front of her and stopping the scandal from spreading further, gave her an annoyed look.

She might have been somewhat wary of Kevin and Sakura, who had appeared in the game, but this pink-haired woman in front of her also possessed a mysterious aura.

But the people behind them didn't show any Honkai energy fluctuations; they were just ordinary people.

Sirin gradually became arrogant again. After watching her second Honkai War, although she did a lot of things that made her ashamed to face Cecilia, and as a villain she was constantly being attacked by a gauntlet and ganged up on, didn't this also reflect her strength?

The people in front of me are nothing but ants.

Qian Jie frowned as he looked at Xi Lin in front of him. He was always the one talking to others, when did it become someone else's turn to talk to him?

"Then let's go, Second Herrscher."

Qian Jie didn't waste any words. Even though he didn't have much power right now, he wasn't afraid of a single-core Herrscher who hadn't recovered.

"Come on then!" Sirin said arrogantly. She was the Queen of the Sky, how could she be afraid of a human?

"Alright, alright, Sirin, we're here as guests, don't talk like that," Cecilia advised.

"Qianjie, don't get angry at children, be polite..." Aponia said to Qianjie with her fingers intertwined.

"Hmph!"

"This is the lovable, most adorable pink fairy, Alicia," Luo Mo pointed to Alicia with his right hand.

“Yes, that’s right,” Alicia nodded, quite satisfied with his answer.

"By the way, she likes cute girls," Luo Mo said in a low voice, trying to sound mysterious, but his voice was still audible to everyone present.

"Who doesn't like cute and soft girls!?" Alicia said without any reflection, as if it were a sin to dislike girls.

She even countered with a question, launching an offensive, "What, Luo Mo, don't you like it?"

Luo Mo remained silent, looking at Alicia, who had a frank and even honored expression on her face. This time, he was speechless, but he still nodded silently.

Kiana secretly agreed. What's the point of boys? Gentle and charming girls are much better! She wholeheartedly agreed with the older sister in front of her.

Bypassing Alicia, Kiana, and Mei's experiences were familiar to everyone. Luo Mo introduced Ying Jie to Cecilia, gesturing to Kevin, who stood there like an ice block.

"As you can see, this is Kevin, who is also the leader. He is taciturn and loves to eat instant noodles."

"Hmm...powerful, tells corny jokes, loves Mei, and is a mix with Su." Alicia said, half-lying her head back and pointing her finger at the air, seemingly deep in thought.

"...Stop joking, Alicia," Kevin said, looking at Alicia who had inexplicably responded to his call with a headache. He was helpless with her, but he couldn't tolerate her continuing to fabricate stories.

He could only say to Cecilia, "I am a warrior of a former civilization, a hero bearing the inscription 'Salvator'."

Then they crossed their arms and just looked at each other.

"...That's it?" Cecilia leaned forward and asked tentatively, her eyes filled with confusion. How could she understand the other person with just those two sentences?
