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

It can only be said that people's joys and sorrows are not shared.

"...I hope I don't lose a bet."

Brownie belatedly realized that it wasn't surprising that she and Delta hadn't received any costume cards.

But the bet...

Chapter 46 Aili's Visit

Although it seemed to be all his harem members who were assigned to him, she, Delta, and Kasumi were too embarrassed to ask for any since they were newcomers.

However... judging from the people who have been allocated the costume card so far, Brownie can still stubbornly say that he doesn't need it!

But as she feared, what about the bet?

Why does she feel like she's about to rise up and soar under the moonlight?

As for Bronya, she had only seen the interaction between Luna and the boss at that celebration and thought that Luna shouldn't lose... Besides, she was already grown up and wouldn't bother with a simple title. At most, she would only care about a tiny bit, as small as the tip of her finger.

Will stargazing make me a loser?

Brownie raised an eyebrow, the thought flashing through his mind, a sense of unease creeping over him.

Thankfully, it's a best-of-three series. One round is a competition of gaming and hacking skills, and the other is a competition of physical growth rate... In other words, there's still a long time ahead, and she needs to catch up on sleep and nutrition.

When teenagers are fighting teenagers, the advantage is mine!

At this moment, all eyes naturally turned to Yuexia. They were all amazed by her sudden growth. Stargazing and Theresa's eyes almost sparkled with envy.

"Hmph—I don't believe I won't grow up in the future."

Theresa said unwillingly, and suddenly stood up. She took two short steps and rushed out. Just when Luo Mo thought she was going back to cry, she came back with a carton of milk and walked back with a face full of unwillingness.

It looks like it's been sitting in a corner for a while. Anyway, Luo Mo has never seen it since he came in. He always thought this house only had bitter melon juice. Oh, now there's also tomato juice that Yuexia likes to drink.

She sipped her drink slowly, gazing at the moonlight with an expression that Luo Mo couldn't decipher, as if she had seen a life goal in her eyes, filled with anticipation.

Luo Mo couldn't help but try to suppress the smile in his heart and the upturned corners of his mouth.

Watching the other person's actions, Guan Xing felt a little restless, wondering if he should also drink more milk.

Then, I caught a glimpse of Luo Mo's expression...

Suddenly feeling a bit angry, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

At that moment, a creaking sound...

The door was quietly opened, and a cute head peeked out. Long pink hair hung down slightly, and the child seemed a little shy as she took a step back.

But soon, she was surprised by the people in the hall who stopped trying to hide themselves and walked straight in.

"Oh? Let me see, there seems to be another beautiful girl. Ah, Luo Mo, who is this...?"

Alicia looked at Yuexia, now an adult, with some surprise. She was a girl she had never seen before, and she seemed to resemble Yuexia a lot.

Who on earth is it?

After scanning the surroundings and confirming that the other person was indeed missing, I became even more certain.

"Hey, wait, how come you got here so fast?"

Luo Mo's eyes widened slightly in surprise. He hadn't seen the other person come over after the previous few times, so how did they manage to come over this time just by smelling him? Or was it just a coincidence?

"Since we live so close, I've come to drop by!"

Alicia said matter-of-factly, without any hint of formality. Her eyes lit up, and she also moved closer to the soft sofa. The moonlight separated Luo Mo from her, and he could even smell the fresh floral fragrance on her, like the sweet scent of elves in a deep valley.

She looked up and down at the moonlight that was so close at hand.

"So, is that what Yuexia looks like after growing up? She's so beautiful~"

"Um...thank you."

Under the moonlight, he glanced at the newcomer and softly agreed.

She felt no discomfort in her body, just a little awkward at most...

She suddenly understood how those busty women had felt before. A strange, uncomfortable sensation lingered in her shoulders. She frowned and rubbed them, glancing at Alicia's chest. This time, she felt less envy and more a competitive urge.

—Although there is a gap, it is not far off.

But Stargazing and Theresa are destined never to experience this pain, which is, undeniably, a rare piece of good news amidst the bad.

"Of course, according to the original plan, it should be under the moon ten thousand years later. Vampires really have long lifespans~"

Luo Mo glanced at Alicia's curious gaze and couldn't help but sigh.

This isn't exactly a novel secret, and it might even have helped restore the confidence of the two people next to her. Didn't you see Theresa already getting started, drinking pure milk?

Even the usually aloof and composed Guan Xing's eyes almost sparkled with jealousy, his staring gaze somewhat chilling.

"a thousand years……"

Sure enough, after catching this key word, Theresa's heart relaxed for a moment, and as she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt despair again.

Hmm, does that mean it will take me ten thousand years to change?

That kind of thing...no way!

Besides, in the end, I probably won't live for ten thousand years. Vampires really do have incredibly long lifespans.

Regardless, she felt much relieved to learn that things hadn't changed in just a few years.

"Oh, by the way, stargazing like this is also very cute."

As if seeing someone, she glanced at the two short ponytails of the stargazer and heard Alicia's praise.

"Heh..." Guan Xing's lips didn't move as he chuckled coldly twice, somewhat arrogantly saying, "If you can't speak properly, then speak less. Also, that guy, how do you get rid of this state?"

Although she had a cold expression and seemed unwilling to speak, her playful ponytails on both sides shattered this preconceived notion.

Even a haughty stargazing act is so cute~

Such a thought flashed through Luo Mo's mind, but upon hearing how she addressed him, he couldn't help but twitch his lips and say helplessly,

"That... guy... uh, your thoughts should change automatically, right? Why don't you give it a try?"

They used to call him "Mr. Assassin," but now they call him "that guy." People, their feelings have faded.

"Hehe, I'll keep it like this for a few more days and try to get used to it."

He smiled as he looked down at the stars from his high vantage point, exuding the air of a victor.

"……snort!"

"Alright, alright, what's the principle behind this, Luo Mo~ Can I turn back into my childhood self? I miss it a bit."

Alicia tugged at Luo Mo's sleeve, very curious, having completely forgotten her original purpose for coming here.

"No... This is a costume card; it just changes the outfit you already have. Only the ones I've seen in the game work."

Luo Mo's words were somewhat vague, after all, it involved his system... Come to think of it, did he even have a system?

Alicia raised an eyebrow, glanced at him in surprise, and didn't ask any further questions.

Some thoughts flashed through my mind, but I put them aside.

It's related to the game... This is the first time the other party has openly stated their abilities. Some of the existing stigmata, when compared with those in the game, show similarities.

But... could it be that the other party's repeated acts of violence were actually intended to save the world?

Alicia suddenly felt a toothache, and she had a vague sense that her fate was not good. She had a bad feeling, and suddenly thought that not asking might be a good thing.

Originally, she just wanted to ask how things would develop from here.

What kind of story will unfold in that little garden where she buried her secret?

She sighed, a multitude of thoughts flashing through her mind in an instant.

"I mean... this story won't end in tragedy, will it? In Honkai Impact 3rd, the main characters won't get into trouble, will they?"

"Why do you say that? Of course not, the world will still exist at least 8 years from now."

Luo Mo acted as if she was making a big fuss, expressing her incomprehension at the other party's outburst.

What nonsense are you talking about?

He could admit that the beginning of the story was a little unpleasant, but the ending would definitely be happy, and he was willing to use his limited conscience for that.

Alicia's eyes widened in surprise. What did she mean by "the world will still exist eight years from now"?

Does that mean everyone else is gone?

"..."

She stared at the other person's face, remaining silent, her cheeks slightly puffed out, a hint of girlish excitement in her eyes.

"The rest of the story will be in a side plot in a few days. We'll see then; Mei will be an auntie by then~"

"Huh? How could this be? Who was so rude? But... is it really eight years in the future?"

Alicia narrowed her eyes, lost in thought.

She knew that Mei had been busy with voice acting lately, unlike Kiana who didn't even have a chance to do so. Even though it was something Mei used to love, now that it was right in front of her, she felt bored...

However, she did like to drag her along to training sessions. Alicia naturally understood her little scheme; she was probably afraid that Mei would get too close to her, so naturally, she agreed.

Kiana is also very interested; she doesn't mind improving the other person's strength at all!

It's embarrassing to admit, but it felt a bit like... training a female version of Kevin. Of course, she didn't dare tell anyone.

"To be precise, it's been 8 years since we defeated the Honkai. Perhaps we can still see the shadow of an old friend."

He shrugged and said something that seemed rather odd.

He was referring, of course, to Otto, who had given Theresa, who had become an archbishop, a rather surprising experience.

"...Defeating the Honkai...it suddenly feels so far away, yet so close at hand?"

Alicia looked somewhat dazed. She reached out her hand towards the few rays of the setting sun that had just pierced through the crack in the door she had opened, as if trying to grasp them, but she could only feel their warmth...

But... they didn't feel the warmth last time.

"You'll be able to witness it for yourself when the time comes."

"After all... that's the future you created."
