Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

Seeing An Yu's somewhat conflicted expression, Möbius's tone subconsciously softened, but to An Yu it sounded even more sickly, somewhat like the voice in an old advertisement.

"I used cheats to do it."

"Can you understand money being modified?"

“An Yu, fifty million is not a small amount. Once things are exposed, I may be overwhelmed and I may not be able to protect you. Didn’t you say you trusted me the most?”

Mebius doesn't wield much power right now, but she's confident she can maximize her influence before things go wrong.

All she lacked was time and money, but compared to An Yu falling into the vortex of events, it would be easier for her to escape if she fell in. Reputation? What was that?

"...It seems like Sister Mei has ulterior motives. Alright, alright, this is the inheritance my parents left me. I just withdrew it a few days ago. If you want it, I have some more, but I can only transfer it tomorrow."

To be honest, no one believed her, and there was nothing An Yu could do. Besides, they were too close; she could even feel Sister Mei's breath on her cheek.

An Yu just wanted to end this strange position as soon as possible.

"Didn't you say your parents passed away a long time ago?"

"...Otherwise, how do you think I honed my culinary skills?"

The reason is actually quite simple: insurance.

In addition, he used to earn quite a bit of money writing novels, which was more than enough to support himself.

Mebius stared into An Yu's eyes, but the boy's eyes were clear, revealing an innocence unique to him.

"...I'm sorry, I was presumptuous."

"It's okay. Sister Mei's lab is short of money, and I happen to have some. If Mom and Dad see their son using the money in a way that is useful to others, they will be very happy."

Although An Yu felt that what made her parents happiest was that she used the money to improve her living conditions.

But there's no need to say that.

Already clear-headed, An Yu smiled and reached out to wrap her arms around Sister Mei's neck, though the atmosphere seemed somewhat ambiguous when described.

But Mebius's calm gaze made An Yu completely forget about that idea; she just found it somewhat amusing.

"So, Sister Mei, you must keep going! Even though you're still just an employee, you're already on a path that makes you happy."

"And I also used these dead things to make myself happy... but I wasn't really happy, after all, neither you nor Alicia believed me, and it made me feel a little sad and helpless."

"Even if I fail, it's no big deal. I still have money. Even if I lose it all, it's just a matter of me adapting to Sister Mei's love of instant noodles."

Möbius: ...

The overly trusting attitude made her a little uncomfortable, but fortunately she knew An Yu's personality beforehand, so she didn't lose her composure for too long.

Compared to An Yu's trust, the reasons given by the other party... weren't very good, but Mebius couldn't find any problems.

At least, besides this reason, she couldn't think of any other way for An Yu to get this money.

"It won't fail."

She got up and sat down to the side, brushing her hair over her shoulder. She wouldn't refuse this kindness; since there were no future problems, she would simply turn other people's expectations into reality.

However, unlike others, An Yu did not expect her results, but rather her success.

"Yes, yes, yes, Sister Mei is a very capable scientist, she definitely won't fail."

"So go to sleep, Sister Mei, or you won't get enough sleep."

Honestly, why can't we just trust him? An Yucai wouldn't do anything illegal.

"Speaking of which, how exactly did An Yu end up in my room?"

Before leaving, Mebius asked a question that had long since lost its basis: as the number of entries in the An language gradually increased, he had less and less reason to appear in his own home.

"Driven by fate, by chance and by inevitability, Steins;Gate determined our meeting."

P.S. I've gotten a lot of criticism for changing the book title.

How about "Honkai Impact 3rd, Little Opening Doesn't Count"?

Because it is indeed a small opening, it only locks health and mana, even though infinite mana in the Honkai world is terrifying.

Chapter 26: Little-known facts about Twenty-Six An's words

An Yu's little-known fact #1: Sister Mei is a scumbag, a complete and utter scumbag.

An Yu's second little-known fact: It might not be that; perhaps Sister Mei just has intermittent amnesia.

The next day, Sister Mei acted as if nothing had happened. Even though she had pinned the young boy in her bed in the middle of the night, she didn't feel anything or even feel embarrassed.

The weak and helpless An Yu was oppressed, but he dared not resist. It was too much. He hated Sister Mei for having no sense of boundaries.

Mebius... really didn't take it seriously. If you asked her what she valued most in life, she would definitely stubbornly say, "Dreams."

Of course, despite her stubbornness, Möbius still valued relationships very much. However, she seemed to have a unclear sense of boundaries when it came to relationships; in her eyes, familial love, friendship, and romantic love were almost entirely familial.

To put it bluntly, Mebius's mental state is even more problematic than An Yu's.

However, ignoring the eldest brother and the second brother, among Mebius, Alicia, and An Yu, if you had to pick out a relatively normal one, perhaps... it would be Mebius?

"By the way, An Yu, can you sing?"

The next day, Alicia had Eden's autographed photo hidden away. She originally intended to give it directly to An Yu and Mebius, but after thinking about it, she decided to skip Mebius and make An Yu suffer first.

"I know a little."

Okay, actually he doesn't know at all, but he definitely won't say it directly, he's An Yu!

Alicia nodded after receiving the answer and didn't ask any further questions.

But she had already figured out how to have fun today.

Sure enough, right after finishing her meal, Alicia excitedly called out to An Yu.

How about we go perform today?

"I started on the street. I happen to know a friend who likes musical instruments, so I can borrow whatever I want."

An Yu: ...

It seems that Alicia misunderstood him. When he said "know a little," he meant he had only heard of it. Oh, he could sing "The Lone Warrior" and "Tomorrow Will Be Better," which was taught at school.

“Perfect timing. Didn’t Sister Mei say yesterday that her family was having some difficulties? We’re not just doing this for fun, we might even be able to make some money.”

Seeing the smile on Alicia's face, An Yu's expression was somewhat forced. This, this...

"Isn't this just street performance?"

Besides, he's not short of money. He ate dinner after midnight yesterday, so he can still afford to use Feng Ge's money.

You're asking the world's richest man to perform for money?

...Well, it seems like it would be normal if you replaced the world's richest person with a good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid.

"What's wrong with street performances? Many big stars started from there."

"How do you know we won't be the next entertainment superstars if we don't give it a try?"

Alicia really wanted to do that. When she was very young, she attended a concert, and the beautiful melodies and joyful atmosphere made her fall in love with music instantly.

She dreams of standing beautifully on stage, singing heavenly songs, and enjoying the applause of others.

Ideals merging with reality has shaped her into who she is today; she genuinely wants to have fun!

"As you know, Alicia, I'm rather introverted and shy, so I might not be able to adapt to this kind of gameplay. It's a bit... too daring."

An Yuzhen couldn't accept it.

"By the way, Alicia, you got up quite late, so you might not know that I didn't fall asleep until 2 a.m. last night and got up around 6 a.m. to cook."

"So I'm not feeling well, so I won't be participating in this event. Although it means one less side story, I think my health is more important."

As he spoke, An Yu tried to slip back to his room, but Alicia grabbed him.

“But you slept from 4 a.m. to 12 a.m. yesterday. I heard from Sister Mei that you weren’t sleepy at all. You went to bed at 2 a.m. because you slept too long in the afternoon and couldn’t fall asleep.”

Alicia shook An Yu's arm, her expression somewhat pitiful.

"An Yu~"

"...I really only know a little bit!"

What will he sing? Lone Warrior, which is only acceptable in choral performances, or Tomorrow Will Be Better, which is already overused?

...Huh? Tomorrow will be better. By the way, does this song even exist in this world?

"It's alright, I haven't studied it either. You know me, Alicia is completely illiterate."

"Even if you make a fool of yourself, we'll do it together. Alicia will always be there for you."

An Yu: ...

The question is, why would we want to embarrass ourselves?

"An Yu! Don't you consider yourself a destined person? We should face difficulties head-on, not back down. How do you know you won't be the next genius singer if you don't even try?"

An Yu: ...

Because he tried, even with his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) tendencies, he can only memorize two songs so far.

"I'll choose the song."

"Yes, yes, I knew An Yu wouldn't refuse me."

An Yu: ...

An Yu was silent a lot today, which made her want to complain.

"Are honest people just meant to be bullied?"

“Gentleness is not a derogatory term, nor is tolerance towards friends. An Yu is not an honest person, she is just too gentle with her friends.”

At least for now, looking at the honest and innocent An Yu, that's what Alicia thinks.

Next, she will give the gentle An Yu a big surprise!

"And as a reward for spending time with Alicia, I'll give you a big surprise later."

………………

"Hmm? Eden isn't home?"

I sniffed. Okay, the surprise is gone.

Alicia thought her plans for the day were going to fall through, but the pretty doorman opened the door for her.

"However, Miss Eden said that if Alicia needs anything, she can make herself at home here and use whatever she likes."

As Eden's many stewards, she was used to Eden's talents being so great that he didn't value money, giving away gold jewelry without a second thought and spending his days drunk.

Well, all I can say is that artists have their own personalities.

"Eden!"

Is that the power bank that lets you play the piano with two guns?

He muttered to himself, although he didn't know Eden, the version under the big moon still made him pay attention to the scene, and he naturally had an impression of Eden, who was closely associated with the big moon.

But speaking of which, he felt like Eden had also done an advertisement, but he didn't remember it. Was it because it was too short?

"Hehe~ You didn't expect this, did you? This is the surprise I prepared."

But An Yu looked at the mansion in front of her, then at Alicia, and finally thought about herself and Sister Mei.

"Sure enough, those who look poor are usually not really poor. Sister Mei, who earns a million a year, is actually the poorest one among us."

Alicia: ...

"Eden is rich, but that has nothing to do with Alicia. I would never cheat my friend out of his money."

"I get it, I get it. Strangers scam you halfway, but acquaintances scam you all at once."

"Alright, alright, let's not joke like that. It's just that I've heard Eden is incredibly wealthy and likes to give away gold."

"Maybe you really do earn more than Sister Mei in a year."

Chapter 27: Twenty-Seventh Lady~

The young lady, who appeared to be the housekeeper, didn't seem to care much about their entry, and didn't even pay attention to their actions.

However, although An Yu and Alicia are lively, they are not mischievous, unless... they are in a very excited state, such as when they have just obtained the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.
