Honkai, But I Have Too Many Mods

"Ah, Consultant Natasha, please continue your explanation. I'm listening."

Rita said this earnestly to Natasha, then turned her head and resumed chatting and laughing with Liu Bai.

"By the way, Mr. Liu Bai, did you watch that TV drama last night at 8 o'clock..."

Gulp...

"...So this is what Schicksal's Valkyries are like."

Natasha finally couldn't stand it and decided to attack.

"Has someone forgotten what they're even here for?"

Is that person complaining after bringing this upon themselves?

Liu Bai, who had been struggling to deal with Rita, couldn't help but glare at Natasha.

"Of course, it's to go on a date with Mr. Liu Bai and also to see my dear sister."

She finally couldn't hold back.

Rita chuckled inwardly.

"What? Is there a problem?"

"I thought someone was here to inspect on behalf of Schicksal."

"..."

Rita suddenly fell silent, then her mind raced.

It seemed her original purpose was to inspect.

If she remembered correctly, Liu Bai was supposed to be her means to... provoke Natasha?

...But Liu Bai was just too charming, there was nothing she could do about it.

Even the Bishop would understand this situation.

If she played along a little and made it seem real, she might even be able to poach Natasha.

Even if Natasha was with World Serpent, once she became his sister-in-law, Rita might find her annoying, but ultimately, who wouldn't help their brother's wife over an outsider?

It just so happened that Rita was also of marriageable age. Although she didn't have a prominent background, she was still an S-rank Valkyrie.

It was rare for them to feel the same way, so wasn't this perfect?

What's more, with just a little introduction from Mr. Liu Bai, she could carve out a place for herself in Schicksal with her own talents.

Then a happy life would be waiting for them...

Wait!

[Rita's Affection: 5752 (Elixir of Love)]

With her arm linked through his and her head resting on Liu Bai's shoulder, a hint of contemplation appeared in Rita's eyes.

Should I be this close to Mr. Liu Bai?

Did I really have intentions of marriage at first?

Hmm... but changing my intentions after discovering his good qualities seems pretty normal...

As for his good qualities... alluring?

Even though she didn't know how to describe it, Mr. Liu Bai was just truly alluring.

So, was the previous Mr. Liu Bai not alluring?

Another contradiction emerged.

When did my attitude change?

...The coffee, it was that cup of coffee.

Rita didn't have to search for long before she found the culprit.

She suddenly felt that Liu Bai became alluring in every way only after drinking that coffee.

...Thank goodness for coffee that allowed her to realize Liu Bai's merits.

—Sober, but not entirely.

Chapter 60: Acheron the Swordsman

"Miss Rita, shall we go outside first?"

Looking at Rita, who was still resting her head on his shoulder despite her affection having decreased... or rather, recovered a bit, Liu Bai felt that if this continued, it wouldn't be a simple matter of going off track.

Is this the first Asura Arena I've experienced?

I need to save myself.

"Since Mr. Liu Bai is tired of sightseeing, let's go."

Rita offered a sweet, dependent smile.

"I'm sorry, Advisor Natasha, but that's all for this inspection."

"You—"

"Sis..."

"Alright, alright, you two have fun. Uh... do you have any money?"

Natasha immediately caved.

"Yes, yes, yes... See you tonight, sis."

"Don't forget to come home tonight!"

After Liu Bai and Rita disappeared from Natasha's sight, Natasha stood in place silently for two minutes.

Slap!

Natasha suddenly slapped herself.

Damn it, I really can't touch this stuff.

Thinking I could endure it, but the moment Liu Bai said that one sentence, my bones started to go soft. My entire body felt like it was entering heat.

And I even wanted to give Liu Bai pocket money?

What's wrong with my brain?

...No, the more I think about it, the more I feel like I should give him some?

Does just having an impression of Liu Bai in my mind affect me?

If the person isn't here, the fervor only drops a little.

No wonder Jackal can't eat or sleep all day. This person has taken too much of the drug. Once they recognize Liu Bai's existence, their mind can't hold anything else.

What kind of messed-up situation is this? Is the world really bugged?

"Raven..."

As Natasha was internally complaining fiercely, Mobius's languid voice came from behind her.

"Hon-Honored Lord? When did you get here?"

Natasha was startled and quickly turned around.

"Not long ago—though I did see quite an interesting scene."

Mobius propped her chin on her hand, a half-smile on her face.

"Come, why don't you explain your current state? Why do I feel like... Wing and Jackal are a bit similar to a dream?"

"This..."

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Is that... is that our Vice-Captain?"

The Undying Blade members responsible for external support observed the whereabouts of their vice-captain.

But... this scene was truly astonishing.

"See, I told you our Vice-Captain was into that pretty boy."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"So it was all to show off in front of the person she likes..."

"Girls aren't allowed to say such vulgar words. But rather than being into that pretty boy... why does it look like Rita is the one chasing him?"

"Even if she's chasing him... she managed to get him within a week. I can't even find a handsome guy like that..."

"Weren't the seniors from the assault team going for a team-building event at a bar? Why don't you go with them?"

"Those seniors... they reportedly set out with high spirits, determined to find a partner, but at the bar, they hesitated and changed their minds to booking the entire place. It was completely useless. They always say things like 'You'll understand when you reach our age,' which are hard to comprehend."

The Undying Blade members chuckled in unison.

After laughing for a while, one or two of them wore thoughtful expressions.

"Speaking of which, has the Vice-Captain really won him over?"

"Huh? She's already got him in an embrace, and she hasn't won him over yet?"

"He's a normal person, you know. If you grab a random person on the street and embrace them, see if they can break free."

"..."

Well, even the "Watchers" responsible for long-range suppression could casually lift a heavy machine gun against the Honkai.

"Al-Alvitte, you... you mean our Vice-Captain Rita is actually..."

"Mhm..."

Alvitte raised her binoculars, watching the two people sitting side-by-side in Shencheng Plaza.

"Vice-Captain, she's probably going to beat that gentleman to his knees and drag him home..."

"Damn it, Alvitte! Why do you have such a vivid imagination!"

A colleague next to Alvitte snatched her binoculars.

"How could Lady Rita possibly do something illegal!"

"But normal laws don't apply to us Valkyries..."

"..."

An inexplicable silence fell.

It seemed to be true.

Still, forcefully snatching away a good young man sounded too awful.

"So, is Lady Rita walking down the path of crime?"

"What do you call crime? That's called temporarily not being able to capture the young man. If you wait too long, I really don't believe any man can withstand the deputy captain's offensive! Where else can you find a woman better than our deputy captain!"

"Hmm... Speaking of which, should we inform the Captain about this? After all, the Captain and the vice-captain are best friends, right?"

Someone made the suggestion, but was immediately refuted.

"Pfft! Guard against fire, guard against theft, guard against best friends! Keeping it from the Captain is the correct move!"

"Hey, I found a fake best friend here!"

"I feel like something's not quite right here?"

"Is there? Mr. Liu Bai?" Rita asked with a smile.

"..."

You're the one who should be saying that!

"Miss Rita, could you let go of me first? I need to go to the restroom."
