Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

Next, Alicia should gather her emotions and say, "An Yu!"

After finally managing to compose herself, Alicia, completely caught off guard, shouted out, "An Yu..."

The scene froze for a moment, and An Yu revealed a knowing expression. Sure enough, she had guessed correctly.

I *** (Alicia's profanity)

Her delicate face contorted slightly for a moment. She had been able to maintain the surrounding decorations, but as Alicia's emotions fluctuated, the little dark cloud above her head lost its support and fell directly onto her head with a crisp sound.

Heh, heh heh... She lowered her head again, her sleeves slipping down to her arms, her fair little hands covering her face, suppressing her emotions, and letting out bursts of gloomy laughter.

Oh no, something really bad has happened!

However, Alicia, who had almost zero combat experience, seemed to have forgotten one thing: how difficult it was for a duck to exert force when it was sitting on the ground. Even after An Yu realized this, she could not move an inch by simply pressing down on her shoulder.

Alicia: ...

"Calm down, calm down, Lady Alicia!"

I originally wanted to slap him, but An Yu's combat intelligence has now surpassed that of junior high school students, and is now at least at the university level. Before I could exert any force, his palm quickly slid down and pressed down on my arm.

After struggling a couple of times, I realized I couldn't move at all, not even to change my position.

I'm such a ****! (Alicia swears twice)

"Lady Alicia, calm down. Next time, I will definitely cooperate with your performance. You really can't fight at home, otherwise Sister Mei will find when she gets home that the house she finally got without spending any money has become a pile of rubble."

After struggling for a long time, Alicia suddenly smiled with relief: "Let go first."

An Yu quickly shook her head: "I won't let go, I'm afraid of getting beaten up."

Although An Yu is now confident that he possesses the power of love, he cannot be sure whether Alicia has any hidden tricks up her sleeve.

Moreover, given Alicia's current emotional state, he couldn't easily retaliate.

Alicia was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "You don't believe me?"

"What oath did you swear before? Have you forgotten?"

An Yu's expression was somewhat abstract for a moment. Wait, is a promise something that can be used in a situation like this?

"You said you would never lie to me, never bully me, would take care of my feelings, and would never neglect me because of your relationship! You even said we would always be best friends! Liar!"

Seeing that Alicia was losing control of her emotions, An Yu's expression was hard to describe.

No, sis, you were the one who forced me to swear that oath!

Seeing that Alicia looked like she had suffered a great injustice, An Yu still let go of her hand: "I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

I did ignore Alicia before, but what kind of decent guy would reply to your messages when he's sleeping with his girlfriend until dawn or dusk?

"What did you do wrong?"

An Yu: ...

For a moment, An Yu was a little dazed. Who was his girlfriend again? Wasn't his girlfriend Ying?

But why has Sakura never acted so spoiled and willful before? On the contrary, it's Alicia who bullies her all the time.

Sitting on the ground, somewhat bewildered, and staring at Alicia, An Yu felt that her CPU was a bit too weak.

"Ellie, are we really friends?"

However, he felt that he had never done anything wrong. He didn't seem to cross any lines when he was with Alicia, but now that he had a girlfriend, why did his previously normal behavior seem...so ambiguous?

Chapter 159: 157 is biased! Too biased!

"Haven't you always thought so?"

Alicia pursed her lips. An Yu didn't know anything at first, so she lived a carefree life. Now that she knows more, she naturally has more constraints.

But honestly, Alicia didn't think she shouldn't have any thoughts about how she had been treated before.

An Yu opened her mouth, but said nothing. Finally, she nodded and sat on the ground, lost in thought.

Alicia still looked a little dissatisfied, but her personality prevented her from speaking further, giving An Yu time to think.

Then I prepared to go back to my room to change clothes. This outfit looks nice, but it's too troublesome to put on. The good news is that it's quick to take off.

She gave An Yu plenty of time to think, but if An Yu finally came to the conclusion that their relationship was indeed too close and that it wasn't good... Alicia wouldn't mind letting the other person recall the memory of being bullied by her before.

Ah, forget it.

Seeing that the boy, who was usually cheerful, was no longer smiling, Alicia lost her temper and went over to lift his cheek.

"Alright, alright, what's there to think about? I haven't done anything to you."

Seeing An Yu's blank expression, Alicia leaned against the side helplessly.

But she couldn't help herself any longer: "I still don't understand, what exactly do you see in Sakura?"

It's not that cherry blossoms are bad, but they don't really seem to have anything particularly appealing about them.

What, you're marrying her and getting your sister as a bonus?

"Good An Yu, you don't know the answer to this either, do you?"

"If you keep doing this, I might actually feel like hitting someone."

How can someone like someone without knowing why? The simplest explanation is that she's pretty. Even if you're just a sucker for good looks, I'll accept it.

As if guessing what Alicia was thinking, An Yu nodded: "Sakura is pretty."

Alicia: ...

"Don't force me to slap you, An Yu."

Admit it? Admit what! Alicia has met many people in her life, but to say that An Yu is a sucker for good looks... that's really not the case.

Rather than saying he's a sucker for good looks, it's more accurate to say that An Yu likes people who can be silly and eccentric with him.

As we all know, the vast majority of people with "chuunibyou" (middle school syndrome) are introverted, or at least have no way of knowing An Yu. The remaining few who aren't introverted—why aren't they? Because they're pretty…

An Yu answered sincerely again: "Ying is very tall."

Actually, she's not that tall, maybe 169 cm, but I haven't measured her exact height with any tools.

Alicia sighed. "That's too perfunctory, An Yu."

"Sister Mei is also very tall."

An Yu's expression turned sour for a while before she started looking for other good qualities in Ying.

"Sakura is pretty, tall, and has smooth, beautiful pink hair."

“I’m pretty too, tall, and my hair is smooth and a lovely pink.” From the very beginning, Alicia had a strange sense of confidence that she, An Yu, and Sister Mei would be a very good little circle.

But Sakura's appearance shattered her illusions. A small circle? Wrong. She just hadn't met the right person yet. You can't stop An Yu from pursuing something better.

An Yu remained silent for a while, then hesitantly gestured to indicate her height. "Alice and the word 'tall' don't seem quite right," she thought.

If 163cm is considered tall, then An Yu feels like she's a giant.

Alicia subconsciously became dissatisfied again: "An Yu, don't go too far. Sakura isn't much taller than me, okay?"

Alicia isn't much shorter than Sakura, she's about eye level with Sakura, the kind of height you don't need to look up to talk to.

It's much better than the gap between her and Anita Mui.

An Yu's lips twitched. In fact, in his opinion, Alicia was indeed similar to Sakura. In any case, when they stood together, they both reached his shoulders or above.

However, Sakura does have one thing that Alicia can't compare to no matter what.

"She has a younger sister!"

"An Yu! Don't go too far!"

…………

In the end, Alicia didn't do anything. She felt that An Yu's values ​​had already started to collapse. If Alicia went any further, An Yu might have to be very careful in her interpersonal relationships.

Alicia knew that An Yu was very busy, and she had spent most of the previous year pestering her in order to become stronger and study.

Hmph, what a scumbag!

They'll run away once they've used the money.

So after a few words, Alicia was once again all alone at home, feeling depressed all by herself.

She wanted to complain to Eden, but she was too embarrassed to even bring it up.

How do you say this?

I'm really upset that a guy I used to be close to is dating now, and I want to break them up.

Not even Eden, let alone Zeroden, can agree!

Even after Sister Mei returned home, she remained remarkably calm. Despite all the events that had transpired at home, she continued working in her lab with composure and without panic.

I hate Anita Mui because she's so boundary-bound, I especially hate her.

Mebius ignored Alicia's emo expression on the floor, skillfully took out an ice-cold beer from the refrigerator, and drank it to refresh himself.

After finishing his large gulp, Mebius pulled out another can: "Want a sip?"

Alicia pouted, "No way! I really don't know why you like drinking this stuff, Sister Mei. Healthy eating is so much better; you'd be safe and sound and there wouldn't be so many accidents."

Sometimes Alicia was quite envious of Mei's mentality, it was so stable. But then she thought, if Mei only treated An Yu as a younger brother, wouldn't that mentality be normal?

Mebius clearly hadn't expected Alicia to say that, but the coolness of the drink kept stimulating her stomach, so she didn't dwell on it too much.

"You and An Yu are becoming more and more alike."

Alicia retorted directly, "How exactly do I resemble him?"

People often say she resembles An Yu, but Alicia herself has lived like this for over a decade. Shouldn't it be An Yu who resembles her?

Moreover, Alicia wouldn't be willful and reckless, easily lured away by a pink-haired girl.

As his fingers touched the pull ring again, another gust of cold air rose up, and Mebius took a small sip.

"I didn't talk about personality, I talked about temperament."

He lay lazily on the sofa; since there were two more people in the house, Mebius had rarely been so casual.

Looking back now, I realize there's really no need to maintain a certain image; being happy is the most important thing.

Alicia's face was somewhat blank: "I feel like Sister Mei is scolding me, but I have no reason to."

What do you mean she's similar to An Yu, that chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) type?

Doesn't this mean that Alicia is also a bit crazy? Although she can be quite crazy at times.

Möbius glanced at her: "It's not a derogatory term, An Yu isn't stupid."

"His adolescent angst is just an appearance, more like a protective shield."

"He just doesn't need this camouflage anymore, but he hasn't thrown it away either."

Alicia pouted. She knew that Sister Mei favored An Yu, but she didn't expect it to have come to this.

Isn't that blatant lying?

Chapter 160: Ichigohachi wasn't arrested, and the arrogant Velvet...

"That's true, you're a bit late. An Yu had already regained her confidence before you arrived."

A slight flush of alcohol appeared on his face. Although he hadn't drunk much, Möbius was the type to flush quickly, but he had a pretty good tolerance for alcohol.

“He used to be just like you, afraid of change. I even remember the scene where he had a lot of money and finally wanted to act arrogantly, but I almost kicked him out.”

An Yu almost cried at that moment. Oh, he's already been given a small pearl treatment. He doesn't seem to care much about money, but rather about the kind person who took him in.

“He cooks, cleans, and works hard every day, trying to standardize his work as much as possible.”

"He hated variables, yet he was also delighted by the surprises of the unknown, a feeling that lasted until he discovered he had... well, superpowers."

There's not much to say after that. The false enthusiasm turned into reality, and the real chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) became... even more chuunibyou.

However, it's hard to say. Mebius couldn't figure out An Yu's situation. It seemed that An Yu didn't have this superpower. An Yu's confidence was also increasing day by day, but if he didn't have a superpower, where did his confidence come from?

Mebius couldn't understand it either, so he attributed his idea to a delusion.

Alicia said indignantly, "So he betrayed his past self! He went into the glamorous world! He's no longer the innocent boy he used to be."

Alicia still remembers the boy who reached out to her. Although his behavior may have seemed a bit frivolous, she later discovered that An Yu was actually quite innocent.

Things are different now. An Yu is tainted; she's been corrupted by the dazzling world!
