Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

"..."

Alicia's smile froze for a moment, and she twisted her neck; she felt a little uncomfortable all over.

"Even if your strength doesn't increase, there are still many ways to become stronger."

"But aren't you very strong?"

Alicia remained silent for a long time, pondering which step had gone wrong, causing her image in An Yu's mind to be so... eerie.

"Rose branches have thorns, but these harmless thorns are definitely not what makes roses admirable, are they?"

Why would An Yu remember such a beautiful girl as her first, especially her insignificant strength?

What a strange Anyu!

An Yu lowered her head and pondered for a while, then blankly raised her head: "But I think it's super cool to have thorns."

Alicia: ...

She opened her mouth, wanting to refute something, but in the end, Alicia just sighed and smiled with a sense of relief.

Yeah, what am I arguing with him about? Would winning an argument with him make me seem smart? Going from illiterate to surpassing someone who only graduated from junior high school is completely unnecessary.

Thinking that the other person was An Yu, Alicia suddenly felt relieved.

"Super Mountain Giant Powerhouse" is fine, anyway, in An Yu's eyes it seems to be a compliment, but actually it's a very strange word among boys, whether it's derogatory or complimentary depends entirely on the tone of the person being addressed.

"Sweetie, when you're mentally prepared, Alicia will teach you something to become stronger."

Alicia didn't know the specifics, but she hoped that An Yu could sense the Honkai. Alicia, who had almost infinite blue energy, thought to herself.

"I'm mentally prepared now!"

An Yu is very enthusiastic about becoming stronger, and he doesn't care if it's not a quick process. Ever since he joined the army, he has been determined to reach the top step by step.

Alicia smiled and pointed to the still-burning gas. An Yu was silent for a moment, then shook her head reluctantly.

"Okay, I don't have time. Compared to getting stronger, it's definitely more important to stop Sister Mei from eating instant noodles."

Was dinner a little light tonight?

When Alicia saw An Yu shut her mouth, she felt a little relieved. Then she leaned over to look at today's dinner, which was still not lavish, but it looked very appetizing.

An Yu's cooking skills aren't particularly good, but he knows a lot and can even complete a cycle of cooking within a week at most.

That's very satisfying.

"I've already eaten..."

Sigh, it's really frustrating. He's someone who's already eaten, yet he has to put his own plans to get stronger on hold just to feed others... Oh, the head coach is Alicia, who needs to be fed by him, so never mind.

"Why have you already eaten?"

"Wow, An Yu, you're not secretly having a secret rendezvous with a girl, are you? I've never even had a secret rendezvous with a pretty girl."

A pang of sadness gripped her heart, because she knew that An Yu cooked every day, and Alicia had reluctantly declined Eden's invitations to have dinner together several times.

Feeling betrayed and heartbroken, Alicia planned to give Mei a good dressing down when she returned.

"Let's not even talk about why you also want to meet up with girls... I just got into the hospital yesterday, where would I find the time to meet up with other girls? What couple meets up in a hospital?!"

Moreover, An Yu has no interest in being in a relationship. He is still young, and although he longs to become an adult, there's no use in longing for it; his age is what it is.

As for the great magician... well, that brings us to the question of whether love at first sight is even a real possibility.

Anyway, An Yu felt that the fact that she could think about this rationally meant that she hadn't fallen in love at first sight.

"Hmm, Alicia, you're not love-struck, are you?"

Seeing Alicia's suddenly realized expression, An Yu thought of something else: Honkai Impact 3 is essentially a yuri game, so Alicia might actually be a lesbian.

However, that's not necessarily true. Anna, the only wealthy woman in the Herrscher of Reason, is a pure heterosexual, although her storyline with Chen Tianwu is a bit abstract according to what others have told them.

"Maybe it's because I've been looking after children all day, but my mind has been wandering all day. I wonder if I'll ever have children, and if I'll be as cute as Gretchen."

Alicia thought even further than that. First, she thought about An Yu, then about the possibility that An Yu was a woman disguised as a man, and finally, she extended her thinking to whether the two girls could have children in the future.

It's so tough for her, but the good news is that Eden seems to enjoy taking care of children too, sharing some of her responsibilities.

But I always feel that if Gretchen lets Eden look at her for too long, she'll turn into a little drunkard.

An Yu nodded in empathy.

"Indeed, every time I help others babysit their children, I always think about what my own children will look like in the future."

"But I've also heard that childbirth is one of the most painful experiences in the world for girls, so I don't want children anymore. Adopting one would be a good option."

"If all else fails, I'll ask Brother Hen if Gretsch can be shared. Then both families can take care of her together. But I'm also really looking forward to Gretsch calling me 'brother' in the future."

An Yu started mumbling again, but this time Alicia listened with confidence, nodding in agreement from time to time.

"How about we go ask about it tomorrow?"

I think it's a good idea!

An Yu is really good at taking action. After making the decision, he created a small group and invited Brother Hen, Sister Blanca, and Alicia to join.

Hen: "What are you doing, creating a private group chat? Who are you going to complain about?"

Blanca: "It's okay, you can even complain about the Doctor, I won't tell anyone."

An Yu: "To be honest!"

Alicia: "We have a bold idea."

After a day of rest, Hen was already refreshed and happily munched on sunflower seeds while looking at his phone.

After waking up, thinking about his second-class merit award, his vacation, and his bonus, he couldn't help but smile.

Hen: "Go ahead and tell me about yesterday. I'll agree to whatever you ask."

This is not an exaggeration at all. An Yu is a truly reliable child, the kind of person you can unconditionally entrust your back to in the apocalypse.

An Yu: "Can I be Gretchen's father?"

Hen paused for a moment, listening to Blanca's clear laughter, his face darkening.

An Yu: "The second kind, we'll raise Greta together."

Alicia: "Yes, I won't have any more children. I want to be Gretsch's second mother."

Hen's expression relaxed slightly. It's alright now; the two children had a relapse.

Hen retracted a message.

Hen: "Get out!"

Chapter 44: Are you familiar with each other?

Do you know how much harm a single word like "get out" can cause to two young children?

Hmph, that heartless wretch.

An Yu: "Sister Blanca~ (cautiously)"

Blanca sat on the sofa, clutching her stomach, and burst into loud laughter. She really couldn't hold it in any longer!

My dear little brother An Yu, how did you even grow your brain?

Blanca: "Perhaps you mean, the Godfather?"

Of course, even the godfather wouldn't work; An Yu is too young, and Blanca isn't at ease with her.

It's not that An Yu is a bad person; the young man is very trustworthy, but that only applies to his character. As for his abilities, it's hard to say, but Blanca has already seen his troublemaking side.

Even Dr. Mebius couldn't control An Yu's antics, so she wouldn't dare let Gretsch play along with her.

Alicia: "No, no, we're just second parents."

The godfather sounds good, but ultimately you can't raise someone like your own daughter.

Blanca: "..."

Blanca: "Do you guys need to calm down? Don't get carried away. Think carefully about what you're saying before we talk about this again. Okay, calm down for a few minutes."

Then Blanca tapped her phone screen and typed "Get lost." If An Yu and Alicia dared to mention it again, she would just click send.

Fortunately, the two little ones quieted down. While Blanca was feeling a bit tired, An Yu was busy serving pots and pans.

"I feel that Blanca's sister is also strongly opposed."

Alicia nodded. She had originally planned to join in the fun with An Yu, but her quick wit suddenly kicked in and she realized that the previous conversation had been a little strange.

It wasn't exactly ambiguous, but it wasn't exactly normal either, giving Alicia a very strange feeling.

It seems that An Yu has this ability to easily transform ambiguous, sad, and touching atmospheres into her familiar realm of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

terrible!

Thinking of this, Alicia moved a little further away from An Yu. A beautiful girl can't turn into a fool, otherwise people's first reaction to you won't be "pretty" but "abstract".

When Mebius returned home, the atmosphere was very quiet, but An Yu still smiled a little when she saw her.

"Sister Mei, you're back!"

"Aren't we going to save the world today?"

By slightly undermining the other person's confidence, Mebius believed that over time, An Yu would become more normal, or at least value her own life more.

"Hey, saving the big world is important, but protecting my little world is what makes me happiest."

"The thought that if I don't go home, Sister Mei, you'll have to work overtime and eat instant noodles makes me realize that saving the world isn't so important after all."

Thinking about it, it makes sense. The savior saves the world, but when he returns home, he finds his family eating instant noodles, working overtime until 10 p.m. every day, and getting up at 6 a.m. The only vegetable he eats is pickled radish. It would be strange if he didn't lose his composure.

"Before I met you, I was always like this, and I never seemed to have any health problems."

Aside from my hair quality deteriorating, occasional breakouts, and occasional weakness, I haven't had any other problems.

However, Mebius's tone softened slightly. Even though he had just escaped from the collapse, he remained unchanged and became even more convinced that he was the chosen one.

Actually, it's pretty good.

The boy was self-centered, yet he cared deeply about others.

"...Sub-health is still health, but it does have the word 'sub' in it."

"I don't understand the deeper aspects either, after all, I only graduated from junior high school, and my education level can only be compared to Alicia and Gretchen."

"Anyway, I don't think instant noodles are good. Pickled radishes are delicious, but you can't eat them all the time. Hmph, with the all-powerful Lady An Yu preparing your three meals a day, Xiao Mei, what else could make you unhappy?"

Mebius nodded, not bothering to argue with An Yu about it. She liked to argue because it made many fools afraid to show off their half-baked knowledge in front of her.

But let An Yu talk less... Möbius thought for a moment, being able to eat is a blessing, being able to talk should also be a blessing.

"Wait, what did you just call me?"

"Sister Mei, what's wrong?"

Looking into An Yu's clear and innocent eyes, Mebius poked at the runny egg in his bowl. Ever since he had it last time, he would have an extra one in his bowl every few days.

Alicia also has one, but hers isn't a runny egg. An Yu also has one, but his is a solid egg. However, An Yu prefers to break the egg into pieces and stir it in a bowl.

"Don't get too close to the magician who saved you."

With his eyes lowered, Mebius recalled the past of Vilvi. The information he had found out was actually nothing special; at most, it was just a story of a con artist constantly traveling.

But, with An Yu's personality, encountering a con artist... isn't that just giving herself away?

"But I've already promised her that I'd wait for her for a year, and then we'd save the world together."

"And Sister Velvi is really amazing, I still have some toys she gave me."

As she spoke, An Yu took out a ball about half the size of a fist, squeezed it hard, and a little figure with its fist out popped out, reaching far away, all the way to the ceiling, and the supporting frame didn't bend much.

An Yu then withdrew her strength, and the little figure quickly retracted.

Möbius: ...

Alicia: ...

Isn't this the scary toy?

Alicia poked An Yu under the table, then looked expectantly at the ball in An Yu's hand; she wanted to play too.

"Hmph, that's not all. Sister Wilvi can also pull out rabbits and toy cars from her hat."

Mebius remained silent. Although she rarely watched acrobatics, she knew that magic mostly used deception to change other people's emotions.
