Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

"No need, your happiness is the most important thing."

"Um, can I have a good morning kiss?"

"..."

Chapter 288: 285, we'll always be on the same side.

When An Yu got home, it was already past 2 p.m., and Alicia was not home.

The house is very clean, no different from when I left. But to be honest, the house has always been like this, except when Alicia is splashing around.

However, it was quite rare for Alicia to be away from home, but before An Yu could go looking for her, Alicia had already returned.

"Hi, did you miss me?"

Alicia greeted them listlessly. An Yu hadn't been back all day, and anyone with a brain could tell what decision she had made.

Then Alicia discovered a major problem: her nominal best friend was about to be in trouble!

An Yu had no one else to ask but herself!

Cute Lisia didn't know either. She originally wanted to go out and hide, but after thinking about it, she realized that if An Yu came looking for her, it would be even harder to explain.

"Ellie! I need your help!"

I knew it. Alicia lay on the sofa, looking blankly at the ceiling, utterly dejected.

An Yu, being very considerate, massaged her shoulders and back.

"I don't know, An Yu. I'm sorry, I really don't know the reason."

Alicia's voice sounded somewhat...apprehensive; she seemed unusually reluctant to discuss this topic.

They were even extremely tense.

"Please, can you not ask that question?"

An Yu hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she didn't ask anything.

"It's okay, I'm sorry."

Alicia made her stance clear from the beginning: she was human, yet she was repeatedly caught in these situations, and Alicia was always the one asking her about these kinds of questions.

Moreover, the appearance of the Sixth Herrscher dealt Alicia a major blow.

Alicia herself was filled with fear, afraid that one day she would suddenly turn into a monster without humanity.

This consolation didn't seem to be enough to put Alicia at ease. It's hard to imagine Alicia's mental state after seeing the Sixth Herrscher's condition.

A girl who seemed no different from anyone else was actually a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

The Fire Moths were quite quiet yesterday. Alicia could sense the current atmosphere; they wanted the Sixth Herrscher to die.

Even if the other person and the little girl really seem to be no different.

"I'm so sorry, An Yu. I know what you're thinking. I know it's for my own good, but I really didn't know. I've always thought of myself as human. I'm so sorry."

An Yu felt like her head was about to explode, and now she had to hold Alicia's shoulders and keep soothing her emotions.

Not to mention that Alicia has been trying her best to keep her emotions stable these past two days, even though she herself has been beating up a stupid fool and causing an explosion.

“Ellie, we’re in this together. Trust me, no matter where you get lost, I’ll find you and bring you back.”

"I'm very, very strong now. Even if Ellie finds Paradise, I can still break in and take you back."

An Yu, who was usually eloquent, was speechless. He didn't even dare to mention anything related to race or death.

He forgot that Alicia hadn't experienced any disasters yet. Was it a case of "the rabbit mourns the fox's death"? No, Alicia could easily empathize with Ming's perspective, and now he was forcing Alicia to confront this issue.

As long as Ming doesn't erupt in the city, and there is hope and humanity, the only difference between her and Alicia is that Alicia is better at hiding her true nature.

After a long while, An Yu carefully wiped away Alicia's tears. Seeing Alicia crying uncontrollably but still trying her best to hold back her tears, he could only wipe away her tears again and again.

"An Yu, you won't leave me, right?" Alicia looked at An Yu with teary eyes.

She understood who would benefit most if Ming could become human and survive in this society.

The adorable Lisia had almost hypnotized herself; she believed she was truly human and didn't want to change even the slightest bit of her current situation.

She doesn't even plan to acknowledge the little girl.

An Yu: ...

Why are all the questions I've encountered these past few days so difficult to answer?

Ming's question left An Yu speechless; he even dismissed it as a joke because it seemed so absurd.

The question posed by the lovely Lishia was truly a heart-wrenching one.

I have a girlfriend and two others. No matter how close we are now, we'll eventually drift apart.

but

"Yes, I will always stand by your side."

"If one day the world abandons you, then it is your enemy."

An Yu cupped Alicia's cheeks, stared intently into her eyes, and even repeated herself, worried that the other hadn't heard her clearly.

An Yu could already imagine how Alicia would choke her on this ambiguous promise in the future, but it was necessary now.

"What if Sister Mei were on the other side?"

An Yu: ...

Alicia is completely out of her mind; she has no emotional intelligence whatsoever. She can't believe she's asking such a question.

"Then Sister Mei is the enemy."

Alicia was crying and then suddenly couldn't help but laugh. She was crying and laughing at the same time, and it was hard to imagine that the other person was still in the right mind.

She knew An Yu was lying, but now she didn't want the truth; she just wanted a guarantee.

After a long while, Alicia moved An Yu's fingers away, wiped away her tears, and then remained silent, her deep blue eyes making An Yu feel uneasy.

She probably didn't record it, did she?

After a while, Alicia felt a soreness in her neck. She had just lay down on the sofa. Later, An Yu comforted her and wiped away her tears while sitting on the other side. She hadn't noticed it when she was crying before, but now she only felt a soreness in her neck.

Sigh, I used to be such a boring person, and now I'm actually feeling a sore neck.

"Take me to meet her tonight, but you can't say a word more than necessary. I'm an artificial Herrscher, understand?"

An Yu nodded quickly, even though Alicia's tone was really soft now, even a little deliberately fierce and cute.

"Now, you should go cook, great hero An Yu."

An Yu nodded again and hurriedly ran to the kitchen before she dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

He needs to reflect on his actions. Given his current interpersonal relationships, whatever he does could potentially affect others.

For example, the psychological impact Ming had on Alicia was almost incalculable.

Furthermore, the question remains whether the fusion warriors were influenced by humans, and Dr. Einstein will certainly have objections to my decision to protect Ming this time.

Even Ling would probably just complain: What? Did she call you "big brother" sweetly again?

Then she just complained about being a jerk to her boyfriend.

Thinking about it this way, Ling is truly the cutest person in the world, and although she can be a little temperamental, she's always so easy to understand and adorable.

Alicia lay quietly on the sofa in the living room. The sofa was clean, but her tears were on her face, An Yu's hands, and her pants.

After a while, Alicia felt embarrassed and belatedly buried her head in her hands.

Chapter 289: Wake up, 286, he's just a nice guy.

Sigh, tonight Sister Mei will be all alone at home again.

An Yu thought to herself as she flew in mid-air in the form of a dragon.

Alicia didn't think too much about it; after all, it was her first time riding a giant dragon, and the experience was quite novel for her.

What if she causes damage again?

"...Then the only option is to kill her."

An Yu's tolerance of Ming stems from the fact that Ming did not cause much damage, so An Yu can choose to believe that Ming still has humanity. However, she forgives Ming only after he has caused damage, which is truly irresponsible towards others.

Alicia nodded without saying anything.

The wind hitting her face wasn't pleasant. But she didn't really take any extra measures. Sigh, An Yu really knows how to stir things up.

Ming's situation filled Alicia with both anticipation and frustration; she didn't really want to face the current situation head-on.

But if the other party can truly possess humanity, then it is indeed worth looking forward to.

When they arrived at the location, Alicia was taken aback. The sudden appearance of a simple dwelling in this desolate wilderness was indeed quite eye-catching.

The little girl sat quietly at the door, and a smile spread across her face when she saw the dragon descend.

Alicia suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the little girl ignored her and rushed straight into An Yu's arms, who had transformed into human form.

Big brother, I miss you so much~

Alicia: ...

The sweet, cloying voice made Alicia feel a little dazed. Didn't this little girl have any sense of shame?

"I miss you too, Ming, but let go."

An Yu felt she had been enthusiastic enough, but compared to this little guy, it still seemed a bit lacking.

I feel like there are some things that are hard to explain.

"Oh right, this is Alicia, my best friend!"

Alicia: ...

But every time I think about what happened back then in the middle of the night, I feel so guilty.

Ming nodded obediently, seemingly only just realizing that this person was there. She then nervously hid behind An Yu, her voice shy.

"Hello, Sister Alicia. I am Brother Anyu's young wife. You can just call me Ming."

Alicia: ...

what?

No... Ah!

Alicia's mind was a little confused. What had she just said about herself?

Has An Yu evolved into this form now?

Playing this big!

Ming originally wanted to press his advantage and say something more, but with the feeling of his body floating, he was humiliatingly lifted into the air.

"A person who is full of brats is not likable."

Ming's face immediately looked aggrieved, but he was still restless in mid-air, poking at the ground with his two index fingers somewhat embarrassedly, as if the bad news had been exposed.

"I'm sorry, Sister Alicia, I'm actually just a kept woman."

"But I'm very happy because my older brother is very kind to me."

Ming looked at Alicia with some apology, her little face full of embarrassment.

Alicia was once again in a daze. Are all young girls these days so open-minded?

How could she possibly remember the era in which she grew up, when love was always very subtle?

Even the fairy tales I hear all tell the story of how the hero and the princess go through countless hardships before finally coming together.

You've only known each other for a day or two.

“Look, putting aside Ming’s personality for now, I really think she can go to school with other people.”

Alicia clicked her tongue, unsure how to comment, since An Yu already had a great reputation among elementary school students.

If this little brat goes to school now, judging by his age he should be in junior high, right? Could it be that he'll fall into An Yu's clutches even in junior high?

You mean high school?

High school is the end of adolescence, an age when students are just beginning to understand things, and they envy every genius and freak equally.
