Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

"It's not that scary. Don't listen to Hen's nonsense. By the way, little brother, what's your sister's name? I might even know her."

Blanca has a gentle personality, but she is not without her own opinions. With her light-colored hair and light-colored eyes, she gives An Yu the feeling that she is a beautiful woman with a tragic fate, although it is presumptuous to say so.

Shaking her head slightly to clear these strange thoughts from her mind, An Yu raised her face, her emotions somewhat excited.

"Sister Mei is also known as Möbius. I don't know if you know her, sister."

"Sister Mei is a bit stubborn and has a rather aloof personality, but she's a very nice person. Well, to be precise, we're not really siblings, but she's definitely the only family member I know right now."

Family, I guess. An Yu wasn't entirely sure, but he considered Sister Mei family anyway.

But why do I feel like the beautiful woman and handsome young man in front of me are both smiling somewhat reluctantly?

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"Could it be that you and Sister Mei have some kind of grudge? It's okay, Sister Mei is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Just apologize to her and she'll definitely forgive you."

Wow, this person is so mean! They clearly know they're talking about Mebius, yet they keep asking questions, and in the end, they don't even bother to ask anymore, just subconsciously assuming the doctor is right. That's really too much.

The beautiful white-haired woman didn't say anything bad about Mebius.

Alicia puffed out her cheeks, but didn't step forward to criticize the other person. She was no longer young, and after traveling the world, she had become a sensible young woman.

Is that really the case, Dr. Möbius?

Blanca's reaction was rather unusual; she seemed completely unfazed and instead asked questions with a hint of curiosity.

"Yes, Sister Mei is a very nice person. She adopted me when I was homeless."

Blanca's eyes lit up. Good. If the boy reacted this way, it meant she could keep the acceptance letter.

Otherwise, she would have to painfully give up this job and go elsewhere to submit her resume again.

"How about we talk somewhere else? I'm quite curious about Dr. Möbius; we might even be colleagues in the future."

Taking advantage of her female identity, Blanca pinched An Yu's cheek. It was very soft and felt more comfortable to pinch than Hen's.

Perhaps it's time to find a way to maintain the skin.

"Sure, sure. After we're done chatting, pretty lady, don't forget to tell me who that evil doctor is."

Based on An Yu's many years of gaming experience, this kind of character, even if not part of the main cast, is definitely not just a background character; there's no harm in getting to know them better.

"Okay, please."

After saying that, he glanced at Hen with a hint of helplessness. It was all the other party's fault for talking badly about the doctor behind his back. Now he had to pay for a cup of milk tea.

Hmm... An Yu pondered for a moment, then ran to the 'acquaintance' Alicia and warmly extended her hand.

"Want to go for milk tea? This is on you, beautiful lady."

An Yu did indeed quit the fandom early, but that doesn't mean he quit the internet. Later, Alicia's popularity soared, with her works like "Flawless Girl," "True Self's Inscription," "Star and Moon Goddess," and various memes. He still has a fairly deep impression of Alicia.

Well, for a while, people on short video platforms were constantly posting that Alicia was dead, which was so annoying that people just remembered it after seeing it so many times.

Alicia: ...

Blanca: ...

Good lad, you've got some nerve.

"How about this, Blanca treats you, and I'll treat this pretty young lady?"

Hen laughed heartily to the side. He could tell that the boy really didn't know what kind of reputation Mebius had outside.

really interesting.

Blanca: ?

Alicia: ...

"I think it's great. This handsome guy is sure to become a big shot in the future."

An Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Besides, the clothes of Alicia in front of him were rather worn out. To be honest, after the transition from the two-dimensional world to the three-dimensional world, it didn't give him much of a sense of familiarity or shock.

(P.S. To add, Alicia was already a young girl before she met Blanca during her world tour, and she was mistaken for Sakura by a terrified man.)

However, getting to know them better won't hurt. I heard they're dead, and they were supposed to be a really good person. If the game requires their death to complete, then it's definitely worth building a good relationship beforehand.

Just kidding, he can't even accept the death of his friends in games. In the first part of Black Soul, he was also stuck on the level where he had to sacrifice his teammates, even though there was a green bug that could revive them.

Chapter 11: Do you believe in gravity?

Alicia naturally agreed. Why not take advantage of a free milk tea? Who doesn't like getting something for free?

Sitting in the bubble tea shop, she was quite content, but when she saw An Yu holding a cup of double coconut jelly and pudding, she suddenly had an urge to try it.

It's decided! In the future, when she makes a lot of money, she'll drink milk tea with double coconut jelly and pudding, and I'll have two servings!

But she is quite content now.

Alicia and An Yu took a deep breath in unison, and then, with a tremor in their throats, they finally put down their milk tea with a sense of contentment.

"Do you know?"

Hen was a little confused. He had initially thought it was just a kid trying to pick up girls, but judging from their synchronized movements, it was very likely that they were acquaintances.

"do not know."

"do not know."

mark:……

The unanimous answers left him somewhat bewildered, as such situations are mostly found in romantic comedies.

Blanca rested her chin on her hand, her expression gentle, her thoughts drifting away. Would Gretsch be as adorable as the little ones in front of her when she grew up?

"I have a feeling that you two will become very good friends in the future."

Why? Blanca thought it would be strange if a passionate boy and an equally cheerful girl, with such similar tastes and An Yu's deliberate invitation, didn't become good friends.

"I think so too."

An Yu nodded in agreement, which surprised Alicia, who was standing to the side. She didn't quite understand why the other person was so outgoing.

However, she seems to be about the same.

"By the way, my name is An Yu. What's your name, beautiful lady?"

“Blanca, Dr. Mebius’s brother, I believe we will get along very well in the days to come.”

"why?"

"Maybe it's because I decided to join 'Sister Mei's' lab?"

Blanca chuckled softly as she spoke, but her eyes still lingered on An Yu's reaction.

The boy was confused for a while, then took a big gulp of coconut jelly and pudding.

"The Evil Doctor, is that Sister Mei?"

Feel……

It's hard to describe the feeling. I wanted to say something in response, but when Mebius killed the assassins before, she was really calm. Death didn't affect her at all.

Moreover, in the past, on short video platforms, there was that petite and delicate morbid doctor, Möbius... who was just a coincidence. It would be unrealistic to say that An Yu wouldn't think too much about it.

But how did Sister Mei, who was so big, become so small? The big one is still prettier, An Yu, who was obsessed with her sister, thought to herself.

Rejuvenation is not advisable.

"Of course not, it's just hearsay, and 'Sister Mei's' reputation has been somewhat demonized outside."

"The accomplished come first, but when a young girl surpasses the achievements of others, even the combined efforts of many people over a lifetime, in just over a decade..."

Even if someone says they don't care, their heart is already in turmoil, so it's understandable that they subconsciously belittle others.

Blanca was also helpless about this. Although she was not old, she looked up to Mebius, who was only 24 years old, while she was still struggling with her mortgage and car loan.

"Like me, I'm not much younger than the doctor, but I'm still struggling with car loans, mortgages, and the cost of raising children. I really envy Dr. Möbius."

An Yu nodded as if he understood, but not quite. He understood that, just like the main character, supporting character, background character, or even prop, the world is so big and everyone's life is wonderful, but they cannot be compared.

"I can understand some of it, but Sister Blanca, don't underestimate yourself. Sister Mei is also having headaches all day because of insufficient salary and lack of funds."

"I even developed the habit of eating pickled radishes with instant noodles because of this. Even though I'm a great cook, I couldn't resist Sister Mei's comment that she liked instant noodles. Sigh."

Is this something I can say?

Blanca imagined Möbius's image, then automatically pictured him squatting in a corner eating instant noodles, occasionally adding a couple of pickled radishes, which was strangely comical.

"So the rumors are unreliable? Or is it because there's too little communication? If you ask me, the most wonderful thing between people is face-to-face communication?"

Alicia chimed in from the side, taking the opportunity to bring up the matter of Uncle Hen and Sister Blanca talking badly about others earlier.

She would take responsibility for drinking someone else's milk tea; that was Alicia's life rule.

Just kidding, but milk tea is really delicious. She'll definitely drink it every day after she gets a job, unless she gains weight.

"Forget it, let's not talk about Sister Mei anymore. After all, she thinks I'm in the way and has already kicked me out of the lab. She won't even let me help with tidying up the lab."

That's why he had time to go out and look for side quests. Luckily, he found a legendary companion quest, Alicia!

As expected of him, the one destined for us.

Blanca thought for a moment, then nodded knowingly, saying that saying Mebius was pure and innocent was pure nonsense; at most, he wasn't as terrible as the rumors suggested.

Therefore, it is only natural that the other party would not allow An Yu to access the laboratory.

Moreover, Blanca has another guess.

"Does that mean Dr. Möbius isn't planning to let An Yu develop in her direction either?"

An Yu nodded vigorously. Yes, it was really too much. They wouldn't even let him work as a security guard. He just wanted to earn an extra income in addition to writing novels, but Sister Mei looked down on him because of his low education level.

I'm already working as a security guard, and you still complain about my low education level!

unacceptable!

Blanca nodded, and with that, she had roughly pieced together the image of Dr. Möbius.

He is indifferent to death, yet deeply concerned for his loved ones. He may seem aloof, but in reality, he is simply unwilling to compromise with worldly norms. This explains the contrast between his squatting in a corner eating instant noodles and his lack of acceptance by society.

Well, she has a very good personality, at least compared to what Blanca had initially imagined, which has made her somewhat hopeful for the future.

"I'm starting to look forward to it. When I make a mistake, little brother An Yu, please put in a good word for me. I'll treat you to milk tea after get off work."

"No problem...right?"

But when An Yu thought of Sister Mei's angry face, he didn't have much confidence. He usually couldn't beat Sister Mei when they were playing around.

Moreover, in Sister Mei's eyes, he was just a little kid.

"Hmm, could it be that little brother An Yu is afraid of Dr. Möbius at home?"

"How could this be!"

Alicia quietly sipped her milk tea. She took back her previous words. An Yu was different from her. At least compared to An Yu, she was the big kid.

"By the way, An Yu, why did you want to invite me for milk tea?"

After all, the two were complete strangers who didn't know each other at all, but the other person suddenly ran over and reached out his hand.

Would you like some milk tea, beautiful lady? My treat.

Something feels off.

"Do you believe in gravity?"

"I believe it, because there is a force in this world that draws me in, making me firmly believe that I can find a paradise that belongs to mankind, a flawless wonderland."

An Yu blinked. "How can you believe that?"

Now that you believe me, how do we continue the conversation?

Chapter 12: Twelve, I'll treat you to dinner then, okay?

"You really believe that?"

"Mm." Alicia nodded. She wasn't a bad woman yet; her personality was still quite simple, and she hadn't been shaped by society.

They're relatively easy to bully.

"Actually, you should say you don't believe it, so I can continue the conversation. But I believe it, I also believe in gravity, just like how Stand users attract each other."

"Those who bear destiny will inevitably meet at the crossroads of time, gathering together to save the world: you, me, and the yet-to-be-met Kiana, Mei, and Bronya."

Alicia: ...
