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

At noon, Gui Naifen glanced outside and saw the two of them still exchanging blows.

"...Are you still playing? It's lunchtime, come and have some lunch."

"Then let's do this for now."

Huang Quan calmly put down his knife and looked at Liu Bai, who was sitting on the ground.

"You are really talented. Your parry success rate was 80% just now. Although it is still not good enough for actual combat, it is already very good for practice."

"Thank you so much for your praise..." Liu Bai collapsed, his anger gone.

Liu Bai's swordsmanship skills didn't improve much in a short time; he stopped practicing at level 2. However, his proficiency in parrying attacks increased rapidly, reaching level 4.

The higher the level, the more lenient the parry judgment becomes—although it's only lenient at the millisecond level, the feel of the game can indeed be affected by milliseconds.

At the same time, the accumulated posture bar will also be higher and higher - later on, you can see a trace of yellow bar on Huang Quan with the naked eye.

Shaking the knife?

Shaking my ass!

This isn't a game where you can stop attacks by shaking your head.

I still need to use eye pressure...

"Shall I carry you back?"

"No need, I can still walk, albeit barely," Bai declined Huang Quan's offer.

It would be too embarrassing to be carried back like this.

"Why don't you rest for a while and then take a shower?"

Gui Naifen reached out her hand for Liu Bai to touch.

"Seriously, nobody contacted you today..."

"Hmm... because Rita and Natasha are too ashamed to come to me, right?"

Those two need some time to process what happened yesterday.

I imagine these two will be avoiding me within two or three days.

The Undying Blade Outpost Hotel.

"Hey, Vice Captain, don't those two kittens over there look like they're dating?"

"?"

Rita turned her head to look out the window.

Outside, two kittens are grooming each other.

"……Maybe?"

Rita glanced at it and gave a somewhat perfunctory reply.

“…” Alvitt looked at Rita, who had turned her gaze back to the report, and twitched her lips. “Report!”

"Is there anything else, Arvit?"

"Hey, Vice Captain! Look at those teacups on your table! Don't they look like a pair?"

Arvit pointed to two white porcelain teacups on Rita's table.

Yes, it's a white porcelain teacup, all white, without any other patterns.

"These are the teacups provided by the hotel... you could say they're a set."

Rita felt that her technician seemed a bit strange today.

But I didn't take it too seriously. After all, my teammates are all teenage girls in their prime, and it's okay for them to act up occasionally... even though these questions today were particularly strange.

"..."

(Absolutely no reaction...)

Arvit felt a little frustrated looking at her calm and composed vice-captain.

"Hey, Vice Captain, look at the water stains on the table! Don't they look like they came together?"

"...?"

Rita finally put down the documents in her hand and looked at Alvit with an inquisitive expression.

"Did you lose a dare, Alvit?"

"...Yes, yes."

Arvit nodded, utterly dejected.

It's because she lost a dare that she was asked to do this.

"Is the whole 'Truth or Dare' thing to do just to mess with the vice-captain? These guys must be really bored lately," Rita chuckled helplessly. "And their pranks are just awful."

Thinking back to when she would occasionally tease Lady Bianca...

"Ah no, that's not what I meant..." Arvit hesitated, wondering whether to betray her teammate.

"?" Rita suddenly felt a sense of unease.

"Ugh! Just say it!" Alvit exclaimed in despair, "Um—Captain! Did you really abduct an innocent young man?"

"……Eh?"

Even Rita was momentarily stunned by the question.

"Forcibly abducting... an innocent young man?"

"Um... it's that... this..."

Arvit started scribbling frantically—though Rita couldn't understand what Arvit was writing at all.

"Yes! That Mr. Liu Bai stood you up yesterday, didn't he? Although we also think it's very unethical, he was forced by you, the deputy captain! It's understandable... right?"

"...?"

What nonsense is this kid talking about?

Liu Bai?

What happened to Liu Bai?

In short, we all hope that you will not go further down the wrong path!

Although as members of the Undying Blade, they should unconditionally support their captain in any situation.

However, after everyone discussed it yesterday, they discovered that their team leader might be abducting innocent young men.

No matter what, expressions during a date don't lie—whether it's their own vice-captain or Liu Bai... Plus, by the end, Liu Bai simply made a quick escape to the bathroom, leaving their own vice-captain "utterly bewildered."

They supported Rita's relationship, but while they supported her, they still maintained basic moral principles.

If someone doesn't want to, then don't force them, okay?

"A forced melon may quench your thirst, but it's really not sweet!"

"..."

Rita, filled with doubt, began to try to understand Alvitt's logic.

柳白

appointment

Hmm... Could it be referring to yesterday's operation?

But abducting innocent young men?

Could this mean...?

"...You saw it?"

"Look...I saw it."

"several?"

"The guys in charge of the backup all saw it..."

Arvit felt a little uneasy looking at Rita's smile.

"If I said it was just a misunderstanding, would you believe me?"

"...Do you think we should believe it or not?"

Arvit asked cautiously in return.

"..." Rita was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "So you all believe that I'm abducting innocent young men?"

How do these bastards in my family have such brains?!

All I did was hug and kiss Liu Bai for a little while, didn't I?

How did I become a "bad-deserving Valkyrie" who was about to abduct an innocent young man? Liu Bai, on the other hand, is pure and innocent.

...Well, Liu Bai is indeed pure and innocent.

He was able to escape unscathed entirely thanks to others.

Moreover, considering the difference in combat strength between the two sides, it seems that only she is the female hooligan, and there is no possibility of someone else taking advantage of her.

As for her brain, Rita admitted that she might not be very clever, but she was clearly not the kind of person who could be easily tricked into having sex.

It's even less likely that his own teammates would believe he could be tricked into bed.

So... how come it seems like I'm actually trying to seduce and rape an innocent young man?

—I don’t want to understand the wild ideas of my silly teammates!

“I said, this is really a misunderstanding.”

"I understand, I understand! We're not going to tell anyone! We won't say a word even if the captain asks! Beware of your best friend!"

"..."

What am I supposed to do about Bianca-sama...?

If my future boyfriend gets involved with Bianca, it would definitely be my boyfriend cheating on me—how could someone like Bianca possibly seduce someone else's boyfriend?

"Beware of fire, theft, and best friends... These bastards have really been neglecting their training lately, and they've started to get cocky."

"Yesterday... that was because I was drugged."

"Huh? Drugged? The kind of drug...?"

Arvit was surprised for a moment, but then hesitated.

"Wasn't the purpose of our operation to investigate the World Serpent...? Is the World Serpent 'that kind of' organization? Hmm, but thinking about it, snakes have a very long mating period, and in some regional folklore, it's also considered..."

But honestly, shouldn't those kinds of drugs be extremely potent? The kind that makes you feel hot all over, take off your clothes, and climb all over people after taking them.

Is there a drug that can make people happily hug and cuddle with others, and allow them to go home nonchalantly after being stood up?

It was just a perfunctory lie, wasn't it?

Rita: “…”

I feel like my argument was completely futile.

And the misunderstanding I've created will be passed on to others...

"In short, the whole story is very complicated, but the result is that I really was drugged! I'm not angry about Mr. Liu Bai's escape. On the contrary, I'm very grateful to him. I should buy some gifts and visit him in a few days to express my gratitude."

Arvit's mind instantly translated the second half of the sentence.

“In a few days, I’ll show him what happens when you try to run away from a date.”

As expected... in the end, they still have to resort to violence and forcibly abduct innocent young men?

“I don’t know why, but you look horrified.” Rita tried her best to maintain an elegant and composed smile. “Alright, since that’s the case, Alvitt, give the order: everyone assemble within three minutes.”

“Hmm… the ingredients are clearly just an energy booster.” Mebius looked with interest at the analysis results and the jackal bound hand and foot to the experimental table with a helmet on its head. “Judging from the other ingredients, the other planned effect should have been pain-masking and energy-boosting, which means it was a combat drug. But why did it turn out like this?”
