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

"That kind of thing is obviously her own business, there's no need to meddle. In the end, she's still Mebius, isn't she? At most... she's aged a little in reverse. We've been together for 50,000 years, and we haven't found anything wrong, have we?"

Vilvi teased Paddo, "Oh dear, without Alicia, why does little Paddo like to come closer to me?"

Is it because Hua is not here?

Or is it because Kevin is with Qianjie?

Or perhaps yesterday's little invention has vanished and is trying to strike up a conversation?

She doesn't mind.

"But...as comrades, we should..."

"Alright, the real Mebius might be doing this on purpose. She wouldn't be so easily fooled, even... herself."

Velvi raised an eyebrow, relaxed and at ease.

"What's done is done; let it be sealed away."

Kevin glanced at Vervi, which was his final assessment.

...

In the hall of Paradise, Mebius, who had come out earlier, unexpectedly encountered someone. She confidently made a bet with this person, while Alicia, naturally somewhat worried,...

Ever since she noticed something was amiss, she had been keeping a close eye on what was happening in that area.

Unfortunately, Mei does seem to have run into trouble.

Hmm... I can even feel the fluctuations of her Herrscher power. She's quite clever, actually learning to call me in this way. What an obedient child, remembering every word I said.

—No matter when or where, Alicia will respond to your expectations!

But Mebius brought up the bet, about Mei's life or death.

...How could she possibly disagree?

"I agree!"

"How could someone who interests both of us so much be so easily obtained by you?"

Alicia chuckled as she spoke, unaware that a certain place in Paradise had quietly changed, and... she could even sense Mei's presence, yet Mebius was still making a bet he was destined to lose.

It's both a headache and a source of joy.

"Humph--"

"Alicia, there's a limit to how arrogant you can be, isn't there? Do you really think you can save her?"

"Oh, right, haven't you always wanted to see me wear pink?"

"I'm in a pretty good mood today. If she manages to come out of Paradise alive later... I'll put it on for you right away, okay?"

When faced with this pink-haired woman, Möbius always found it difficult to maintain his composure.

Even in the pre-civilization era, she was like this.

At this moment, she was a little furious and had lost her temper.

The result always comes so quickly, before she even has a chance to swallow back what she's said, when she hears a voice behind her say...

"Okay, then you can wear it."

The voice was steady and familiar, as if I had heard it not long ago.

Möbius's body stiffened for a moment, and his previously confident expression turned into a kaleidoscope of colors. A subtle sense of astonishment was subtly displayed on this great scientist from a previous civilization.

She lost the bet.

Raiden Mei brushed away the sizzling electricity in her hair, crossed her arms, and watched the two people present use her as a wager, especially the petite green-haired figure.

Are you angry? But it's okay.

This was something she already knew; she was destined not to explore and move forward in a test of patience, given the crises, threats, and malice...

Mebius taught her a lot, that even in paradise, one should not treat things with a playful attitude.

In the end, she won, and it seemed that the other party would have to wear pink clothes that she didn't like. Although she didn't understand why, her feelings were quite complicated at this moment... to be honest, she was even a little looking forward to it.

What would she look like in a pink dress, given how mismatched she is?

"W-what?!"

"See, Möbius? What did I tell you? A cute, girlish heart is always capable of anything!"

Möbius's clenched hands were slightly sweaty. Suddenly, she turned around, her gaze fixed on the woman she had just made the bet with, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

"Is that you... Alicia..."

"uh-huh?"

Alicia looked at her with bright eyes and smiled in response.

"……whispering sound."

She clicked her tongue, her indifference evident, and stormed off.

"Hey? Möbius, don't rush off... Möbius!"
