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

A child's voice rang out; Gretchen raised an objection, turning to Alicia earnestly and saying...

It's strange, she's been painting in Paradise for ages... She's not a child anymore! In every respect...

Didn't Aponia's mom say that the mark of adulthood is having a job? Now that she's working, isn't this whole family supported by her salary?

Therefore, in conclusion, Gretchen has grown up!

Thinking of this, Greta put her hands on her hips, straightened her chest, and looked smug, her blue hair shining brightly.

“Gresh, please go back and continue drawing.”

Aponia spoke softly, placing a hand over Gretsch's blue hair and pushing her towards the room.

The movements were gentle, yet irresistible.

Clearly, she felt that this was not something Gretsch should have said.

“...Okay, Mother Aponia.” Gretsch met her gaze silently, a defiant glint in her eyes. After several exchanges, she fell silent.

She has regained her former innocence, seemingly due to the influence of an unknown person.

Then she took the painting and walked towards the room.

"By the way, Yellow Brother, Gretchen will be going to the company tomorrow."

She stopped in her tracks, turned around, and said seriously.

"So, there's only one truth, Alicia, it's all your fault! You must have secretly hugged Gretchen."

Luo Mo pretended to push up his glasses and pointed at Alicia with great conviction.

The other girl's identity is really convenient; she didn't even invite him when such a good thing happened. He also wanted to hug Gretchen tightly!

"It was my fault... Wait, how did you conclude it was me?"

Alicia was puzzled, but she was also shocked.

Did she hug me? I forgot... I'll hug her again later, maybe I'll remember if I can feel her touch. Hmm, that's decided!

Alicia thought to herself, her eyes crinkling.

Then, she remembered the reason the other person came here; it seemed to be because Sakura had informed her?

She glanced at Sakura beside her, gave a reproachful look, and her face showed a hint of resentment.

"Sakura, why did you notify this guy?"

She always felt that the other person was there to laugh at her.

Don't forget, this guy was staring at her face from the start. If that's the case... it's actually not so bad.

But she cried today. Although she says she's cute even without makeup, and she certainly doesn't have to worry about her tears ruining her makeup today.

But how to put it, the other person wasn't someone who judged by appearances, and she was quite certain that their motives were definitely not pure.

"What do you mean 'this guy'? Alicia, I'm your best friend! Don't be so formal,"

Luo Mo raised an eyebrow, completely unfazed, and looked at Alicia solemnly, saying,

"Speaking of which, why is there still no news about Mebius?"

Alicia was quite pleased to be called a close friend, as she enjoyed making friends and answered the other person's question naturally.

"Oh, the Doctor," she tilted her head, thinking, "Let's talk about that later, first, let's talk about you."

She straightened her clothes, trying to regain her composure, but failed. She gave Luo Mo a reproachful look.

"Didn't you tell me this was candy? You kept me looking forward to it, and this is how you get ripped off like this? Don't you feel any remorse at all? And you're still laughing!"

Sakura, who was standing to the side, looked hesitant. She checked her phone again, and she was certain that she hadn't specifically notified anyone to come over.

If we're talking about announcements, it seems the only time she made one was when everyone was complaining about the company's lunch that day, and she subconsciously chimed in with a comment.

So... who did they actually want to see cry?

Sakura was somewhat amused and exasperated, but she wasn't one to gossip. Since the other party had successfully changed the subject, she decided to let it go.

I just hope that Alicia won't keep asking me questions.

Luo Mo strongly opposed Alicia's statement.

"Just think about it, Mei has grown, Kiana has been redeemed, and the three starter families have each joined one of the three organizations. They are just waiting to meet at the top. Doesn't the world tremble in their hands?"

Luo Mo continued, "Moreover, this time it's a perfect ending with no one sacrificing themselves; they all have extremely bright futures!"

Alicia's lips twitched, and she silently looked at him, her meaning quite clear.

Make it up? Are you going to make it up again?

You're telling me that the plot gives them all a bright future?

Seeing that the other party wasn't taking the bait, Luo Mo clicked his tongue inwardly, sensing that the other party wasn't as... obedient as the headmaster.

After a moment's thought, he came up with an explanation that better suited the other party's perspective.

“Ellie, think about it, this temporary separation is only for a better reunion. Although they are in different places, the longing between the girls has never been broken.”

"Their friendship is unbreakable and will only grow stronger with the test of time. Shouldn't you be the one who believes in goodness the most?"

Luo Mo spoke softly, choosing words that interested Alicia.

Seeing that the other party seemed inclined to move, Luo Mo continued to try his best.

"Time cannot sever their longing, nor can space diminish their emotions; all the tragic farewells are merely preludes to a grander beginning!"

"Alright, the kind elf lady will decide to trust you one more time, if you really make me cry again..."

Alicia spoke slowly, her eyes shimmering as she looked into Luo Mo's eyes, seemingly trying to discern his true feelings.

Damn it, why don't I have Aponia's abilities? If I did, things would be so much easier now.

"Luo Mo, you won't be able to laugh like that either."

Sigh, what can we do?

I can't exactly fight him, so I'll have Qianjie handle this next time. He should be good at dealing with these situations.

Alicia thought helplessly.

"Don't worry, just like the players have said, it's still uncertain whether the main storyline will be bittersweet, but the side quests will definitely be sweet, the kind that will make you smile. Trust me."

"Think about it, Theresa will be appearing a lot in the upcoming plot, and it's also a follow-up to the last Twin Invasion. How could this possibly be a tragedy?"

Luo Mo nodded in agreement, seemingly to bolster his own credibility. The upcoming plot was bound to be sweet; how else could they lure in the angst if there wasn't some sweetness?

As for Alicia crying... sorry, if it were someone else, he would definitely be angry.

But if it's caused by your own gameplay...

"If you cry, I'll only laugh even louder," Luo Mo thought.

Looking at Luo Mo's familiar face, it was exactly the same way he had introduced the main storyline to her last time.

To be honest, if it weren't for the person in front of her saying this, she might actually have believed it.

She felt increasingly cheated the moment she tried to hold back, and the more she retreated, the angrier she became. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, but in the end, she only let out a cold snort.

Luo Mo saw the other person's raised little fist, pink and delicate, yet the strength hidden within those slender fingers was not to be underestimated.

At that moment, he chose to follow his heart, and of course, this was not out of cowardice.

"Actually, I think the definitions of 'knife' and 'sugar' are two-way, just like joy and sorrow are inherently..."

Then, Luo Mo stayed in the Golden Courtyard for two hours, answering all of Alicia's questions and subtly changing her thoughts about knives, trying her best not to think of them as knives, but as the girl's youthful journey and growth!

The result was obvious: he failed.

The fact that the other party still believed in the true, good, and beautiful things made Luo Mo somewhat disappointed and worried.

During that time, he chatted with Eden about the music, and the other party smiled and said, "The Su Luo that Luo Mo mentioned doesn't seem to be involved in music. Did he get it wrong?"

In response, Luo Mo naturally uttered the name he had just learned.

"Oh, that should be Anna. There are too many employees in the company, I made a mistake. I'm sorry, Miss Eden."

Seeing that the other person's words didn't seem like a joke, Eden nodded subtly, acknowledging his statement.

Luo Mo would still need to rely on the other party for the subsequent music arrangements, so he naturally dared not neglect it. With this in mind, Luo Mo enthusiastically recommended a list of names to him.

“Eden, actually, there are two other Valkyries who are quite good at performing. Principal Theresa has this talent, and Shigure Kira is also very good at singing. It's just that she seems to have left here due to an accident. I will definitely introduce her to you properly when she comes back!”

"Alright, since it's someone you recommended, Luo Mo, they must have some merits." Eden took a sip of his wine; the red wine inside wasn't particularly expensive.

She maintained an elegant demeanor throughout. The other party certainly seemed to know a great deal about everyone in the world, and perhaps the person mentioned was indeed a good candidate.

I just hope the other person can be more serious and not always steer the conversation to weird topics.

...

Thus, Luo Mo successfully left the Golden Courtyard.

This success was perfect. Not only did they manage to schedule a date with Gretchen, but they also arranged for her to sing Eden's next song. Having her sing the theme song for Starfall will ensure everything goes smoothly!

More importantly, I got Alicia's precious red-eyed CG, but unfortunately I didn't see her tears, which is a great pity.

As a member of the Elise Cult, he was naturally extremely loyal to Elise.

If someone else did it, he would take the lead in the fight; but if it was him... he could only offer a polite apology and say he would do it again next time.

Just like His revered Lady Theresa!

Today's happiness level is a bit too high, Luo Mo thought to himself, while feeling happy, he also had some concerns about potential problems.

But as soon as he turned his head, he came face to face with Kiana, Mei, Bronya, and Seele, who had just returned home. Both sides were a little surprised, feeling as if they had encountered a pleasant surprise at the corner.

"Hi? You must be looking for Lady Cecilia. I won't disturb you any longer. As the boss, I'll go to work now."

Their eyes met, and Luo Mo was surprised to see excitement and eagerness in Kiana's eyes. Sensing something was wrong, he decisively decided to make a run for it.

The greetings, pleasantries, and farewells were all done in one smooth motion.

"Hey, boss, don't run! I promise I won't hit you, stop, if you keep running... I'm going to get the Nekocharm!"

Kiana was chasing after him, but it was clear that she couldn't catch up with Luo Mo, who was wearing three Stigmata. The distance between the two was getting wider and wider.
