Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

Why send flowers today?

An Yu was munching on a melon with one hand when she pushed open the door and walked in.

Then I picked up my phone and flipped through the calendar.

"Isn't today a special holiday?"

He looked at the recent holidays, the most recent being Mother's Day, which had already passed.

Do you need a reason to send flowers?

“…I think it’s still necessary.” An Yu pondered for a moment, her lips twitching slightly.

However, he made a note of it and would bring a bouquet of flowers next time he came, since there was no shortage of flower shops for those who chase fire moths.

After all, isn't that romantic?

Although An Yu is young, that doesn't stop him from being emotionally clueless; he just doesn't usually think about things that way.

"So, Sister Mei, should we do a full-body check-up first, or have lunch first?"

An Yu is very confident in her physical data.

Break the shackles of the human race, push the limits, unlock the genetic code, and rotate the magnetic field—it happens today!

Mebius remained silent. She had considered that An Yu might come foolishly, or that she might simply make an excuse not to come, but the current situation was truly beyond her expectations.

"What's wrong, Sister Mei? Is there something on my face today?"

"Let's talk about the full body check-up later, let's eat first."

It's okay, as long as An Yu is willing to come, that's fine. She's not lying or breaking the contract; she's just naive and doesn't know many things.

"Aren't you going to do any tests?"

"I won't do it anymore, I believe you."

An Yu: ?

No, what's with that knowing yet somewhat satisfied look on your face?

And didn't we agree to have a full body check-up last night?

I'm not even scared, so how come you're already at peace with it?

Seriously, Sister Mei is so strange.

"Little brother Anyu, although I don't know why you came for a full-body checkup, you have to be on an empty stomach for this kind of thing."

As she explained, Blanca picked up a white melon and began rinsing it.

An Yu: ?

He turned his head somewhat blankly to look at Sister Mei. Sister Mei was clearly not surprised, as if she thought what he did was quite normal.

"...That one wasn't cooked."

An Yu sighed, not knowing what to explain. Actually, there was no need to explain. The innocent are innocent. If she couldn't explain, she could just go back and have Sister Mei draw some blood.

I trust my judgment!

Blanca clearly didn't believe it. "White melon, white melon, how could such a white melon not be ripe? If the white ones aren't ripe, are the yellowish ones ripe?"

But when she took a bite, it was alright; it was juicy and not bitter, just not sweet.

"There are different kinds of melons. Some are white, while others are more yellow. If it's a pure white melon, it will definitely be sweet, but this one is clearly not."

"It's not bitter, but this tasteless feeling is actually quite torturous, especially since you picked a big one."

Seemingly because they were waiting for An Yu, the first laboratory was not working as it approached noon. An Yu sat next to Sister Mei, munching on a melon that was already crisp and sweet.

"Are you from the countryside?"

"Well, don't look at me like that. Although I'm from the countryside, I don't know how to tell if a melon is sweet. I threw away two on the way here before I could figure out which ones were sweet and which ones weren't."

An Yu shrugged. Actually, it's wasteful to take a couple of bites and then throw it away, but that's how it is when people grow melons in their rural area...

He eats watermelons like this: when he's helping out in the fields, if he gets thirsty, he just picks one from the ground, cracks it open, and eats it.

However, it's not entirely a waste, because once one person breaks a hole, the others won't keep breaking new holes, which can be considered a tacit understanding.

"So rich, what a tycoon." Blanca muttered to herself, still unable to bring herself to throw it away directly. In the world of Fire Moths, these things cost five or six yuan a pound.

Moreover, the weight is so heavy that a single melon often costs three or four yuan.

I took another bite, and... ugh, it's really not good.

"..."

"Could it be that yours is very sweet?"

An Yu suddenly felt a little insecure, after all, he hadn't verified much, he had only heard a couple of rumors.

"Shall we switch?" Although she was reluctant to throw it away, Blanca felt no guilt about giving it to An Yu.

"I won't change it, I think you're dirty."

Blanca: ?

Mebius remained quiet, and An Yu seemed to have noticed the situation as well. Nobody paid any attention to Sister Mebius... Wow, Sister Mebius, you're so pitiful.

"Speaking of which, little brother An Yu, why are you so late today?"

Blanca thought there wouldn't be a delicious lunch today, and ordering takeout would be a huge expense... although the doctor would most likely reimburse her.

"Alicia didn't work today, so I ate at home."

"You ate before the full-body checkup!"

No wonder the professor was so silent; sometimes, having a younger brother like this can be quite perplexing due to language barriers.

"Nobody told me. I'm only 16 years old and have no experience. How would I know I had to fast? Besides, Sister Mei didn't say anything when I ate breakfast this morning."

"Yes, it's my fault."

Mebius rubbed An Yu's head, deciding to skip the topic and not dwell on it any longer.

Let her be the one who got greedy. It was her fault to begin with. If she hadn't had the idea of ​​achieving greater results through An Yu in the first place, this situation wouldn't have happened.

Honestly, I swore back when I was nine that I would never be driven by desires or controlled by drugs, but I'm really going back to my old ways.

"It's still my fault, even though it was originally my problem."

There was no food for An Yu, since he had already eaten, so he could only sit to the side, bored and lost in thought.

Speaking of which, Mei is really beautiful, and so is Blanca. If she were a little more sensible, I would be envious of Brother Hen.

"By the way, Sister Mei, I've compiled the data on Honkai growth and sent it to you, but you seemed very busy this morning and didn't notice."

"And I also gave this information to Xia... that idiot dog who withheld your funding. I didn't know about this before, but now that I know, there's no way to take it back."

"I'm starting to believe there's something wrong with Moth Chaser; cutting funding is really stupid."

Chapter 88: Boss Eighty-Six, What Do You Say?

Why did you give it to him?

Mebius was visibly bewildered for a moment. She was actually quite indifferent to worldly affairs, though she did have her own political factions, all of which were her predecessors, though they rarely interacted.

However, there is indeed one person who is very hostile towards the Firemoth right now: Xia, that human supremacist.

To be honest, Möbius initially thought they would have a lot in common, but in reality, if it weren't for the senior figures in academia, she might already be reporting to the underworld.

That guy has something wrong with his head, just like everyone else thinks of Mebius, and Mebius thinks the same way about him.

Who the hell advocates human supremacy? And they try to assassinate people without even knowing what they're doing. A bunch of politicians, and you're always flipping the table. Aren't you out of your mind?

"Because he currently harbors the greatest hostility towards the Honkai, he assumed that my past actions were a gesture of goodwill from you, Sister Mei."

"Headache," Mebius said, clutching his head in discomfort. "No, I'm trying to be nice?"

If I find an opportunity, I won't hesitate to kill him without any hesitation.

"Never mind, at least things will be much easier from now on."

Mebius used to hold meetings, but she always felt awkward at these times because she didn't know what to say and was often dragged out for interrogation. In the future, this even led her to develop a habit of slacking off and having her employees go in her place.

"Well, I doubt it either..."

"I was so angry that I yelled at him, and even now I still don't think I was wrong to yell at him."

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. An Yu chose a method that yielded no benefit whatsoever.

They were already losing money, and then, in their venting, they ruined the goodwill they should have earned by cursing others.

"...Was the scolding harsh?"

"Not too harsh."

Mebius sighed; this truly was a case of maximizing losses.

"That's a bit of a loss, you should give them a good scolding."

“Aren’t you Chinese people very experienced in this area? You should curse him out from the top eighteen generations down, with him at the center.”

"Don't feel guilty, because no matter what you do, he and I are mortal enemies."

After a moment of silence, Mebius suddenly felt a sense of unease about the plans for two days from now.

"Come with me in a couple of days to meet a girl who's a little younger than you. It's been quite troublesome being restricted by others all this time. Let's try to resolve all these issues within a few years."

But as I said before, she doesn't care. Compared to the existing leaders, she values ​​a pure scholar's transformation more.

And she had already found that person: politically motivated, a pure scholar, a genius girl—perfectly matching her requirements.

"Hmm, by the way, Sister Mei, were you in any danger when I did that before?"

"No, the moth that chases the flame will never cause researchers to become disloyal."

Despite her seemingly terrible reputation, it doesn't prevent her from being steadfast in her stance; and despite her unusual research interests, she is truly pure.

"Oh, no, it's okay. I know a very skilled assassin. I can bribe her."

Acting on her thoughts, An Yu edited a message for Sister Ying while sending a large red envelope.

The only thing to worry about is whether Sister Ying has any principles...

Sakura certainly has a bottom line, but after seeing the amount, she guessed that this was probably not a one-time thing.

This is more than my normal salary, and I don't have to kill anyone.

Sakura: "No problem, boss!"

Sakura: "So, boss, is there anything else you require?"

She felt uneasy because the money was being earned too easily.

An Yu: "Hmm, it's nothing, but if anyone targets Sister Mei, you absolutely must tell me beforehand, okay? By the way, is this enough money?"

An Yu: "After all, I've heard that Infernal Affairs is extremely dangerous. If it's not enough, give me a number, and I can transfer it to you the day after tomorrow."

Well, my worries are unnecessary; it seems that Sister Sakura isn't very loyal.

However, Infernal Affairs doesn't seem very reliable.

Möbius: ...

Why do you know the assassin?

"I met her when I was organizing the data. Sister Ying is very clumsy; she can make a simple thing extremely complicated."

"We talked for a while and that's how we got to know each other."

The process was quite simple. After all, even when Sakura's face was transferred from the 2D world to the 3D world, it gave An Yu a sense of familiarity.

It's you, Hachi!

Although at the time, he was most likely considered crazy by Sister Ying.

"You have quite a wide circle of friends."

An Yu always manages to surprise her in various ways.

Are you sure she's not in danger?

"I don't think so. I think some people just make more mistakes, like me, but Sister Ying is genuinely clumsy. You might not understand, but that kind of clumsiness can't be faked."

Mebius nodded. Although he didn't know who An Yu was talking about, he didn't care too much. If she was really an idiot, she probably wouldn't be famous among assassins, and he wouldn't know even if he asked.
