Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

Keqing, Ningguang, Xueyi.

None of them were present at the time.

So this group of people...

...Liu Bai didn't know how to describe his mental state at that time.

However, Liu Bai himself was not entirely unaware of the situation.

After all, Liu Bai's resistance as a person with a clear and lustrous body is not low at all.

Getting drunk certainly doesn't count as harm, and neither can Kafka's Word of Power be considered harm.

...Of course, excessive ammunition consumption in the later stages does seem to be considered damage.

Liu Bai could only say that he lost consciousness in the first and second halves of the journey, but he was conscious in the middle, though he couldn't control his body.

...I strongly suspect that Kafka's Word of Power effect on me was to trigger my instincts—although at that time it was also commonly known as "the arrow is on the bowstring."

"You could say it's early, even though it's the middle of the night."

Xueyi was sitting at the head of the bed before, so Keqing is also sitting at the head of the bed now.

For the person in bed, looking at the foot of the bed might be more comfortable, but they will still instinctively focus their gaze on the person sitting at the head of the bed.

So Ke Qing and Liu Bai are currently staring at each other.

...Then Ke Qing looked away, feeling slightly guilty.

It wasn't that she had done anything wrong, but... seeing Liu Bai moving again, Ke Qing subconsciously recalled the scene from before, and the scene of her group cleaning Liu Bai's body—what? Weren't Inazuma's group the ones who cleaned Liu Bai's body in the first place?

Just kidding, given how things were back then, what good could those people possibly do to clean Liu Bai's body? Those two old monsters were both touching the same spot.

So in the end, these people swapped the people in charge of managing things.

Keqing and Ningguang were in charge of Liu Bai, while Xueyi gave Kafka a brief look after her—although Kafka gave the judge a bad review for her rough treatment. Kujo Sara was in charge of Ruan Mei, while Kosai-gumi and Mikoto Chiyo were in charge of Raiden Shin and Raiden Dinosaur—but Raiden Dinosaur woke up early.

As for Yelan... well, as long as she's alive, that's fine. I won't bother taking care of her.

He's a nobody, not worth taking care of.

Do you know that you have the least status among this group?

If it weren't for the help of this large group of people, Ningguang would have taught Yelan a lesson.

In short, there are some considerations in how these people are allocated.

Therefore, Ke Qing was slightly reluctant to face Liu Bai.

After all, when cleaning Liu Bai's body... you have to look even if you don't want to.

Of course, if it were just that, Ke Qing wouldn't have reacted this way—although she was a virgin, she wasn't completely ignorant of the relevant knowledge.

But here's the problem: knowledge is knowledge.

Keqing was lying next to a Kafka with a face that looked like her brain was melting, which made her really curious... Was it really that comfortable?

The most alluring thing is the "half-hidden face behind a pipa"—this truth also applies to knowledge.

Therefore, Keqing took a few more glances at it.

Then I looked at it a few more times and thought about it a few more times.

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help but look at it, and the more she looked at it, the more she couldn't help herself... Well, in the end she managed to hold back, after all, she wasn't the kind of woman who lacked self-control.

But holding back isn't actually that effective.

The shock of that scene was so great that even now, when Keqing's mind goes blank, she can't help but think of the scene where Liu Bai is holding Kafka.

And everyone imagined this scene; well, if you can't control your mind for a second...

In short, Ke Qing and Liu Bai felt guilty when they looked at each other—actually, it was Liu Bai, the one who was dead, who felt guilty.

"...?"

Ke Qing's guilty conscience did not relieve Liu Bai; instead, it made things even more... awkward.

(…What did Keqing see that made her look guilty?)

That's Keqing! That Keqing!

Although she has minor flaws, she is absolutely upright and honest, capable of making her feel guilty...

"Snowcoat..."

"Your subordinate is here," Xueyi replied with a nod after handing over the water.

“… Never mind. It’s okay.”

What's the point of calling her Snow Robe?

Could they possibly silence them?

"It's so good that you're awake."

Ningguang spoke casually, but the teasing in her eyes made Liu Bai extremely embarrassed.

"You must be hungry. Let's eat first."

Ningguang's gaze was sarcastic, but she never mentioned the previous incident.

Regardless of the reason, it is important to respect the other person's self-esteem.

It's hard to say how close the two sides are right now, and some jokes shouldn't be made casually.

History is full of examples of people turning into enemies over a joke, such as the political struggle between Dou Ying and Tian Fen, which started simply because Tian Fen stood them up...

Therefore, Ningguang decisively chose to offer Liu Bai a way out.

Of the remaining two, Keqing is someone who doesn't speak carelessly, and Xueyi simply doesn't like to talk.

"Then, let's eat first." Ke Qing also realized what was going on and took out a boxed lunch from her pocket.

She had originally bought four meals.

"If that's not enough, there's more."

"Thank you."

Liu Bai nodded and accepted it, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward for a moment.

Squid fried rice...

Eating something so oily and salty right after waking up... oh well, there's not much to be picky about.

"During the time I was sleeping, did anyone else come looking for me?"

After pondering for a moment, Liu Bai asked,

What he cares about most is how many other people know about this.

“Someone asked, but I brushed them off, saying you were conducting research in the coastal areas,” Ningguang replied.

Of course, some people asked: Liu Baiye not returning home at night is a huge deal for that group of people.

Ningguang wasn't the rigid type. Seeing so many people asking, she thought for a moment and realized that telling the truth would make them explode.

Moreover, some of these people are clearly not there to do serious work, but rather to act cute.

There was no point in talking to this group, so I simply made up an excuse to brush them off.

Of course, this reason is still quite convincing.

This group consists of capable people; there's no one here to act cute, otherwise we'd probably have to come up with another excuse.

Liu Bai nodded upon hearing this answer and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just brush it off.

It's not that Liu Bai dares to do it but doesn't dare to admit it, it's just that this matter... it's so damn embarrassing to talk about it.

Is throwing a party something that can be discussed openly?

However, Liu Bai felt deeply embarrassed—he had just finished talking to Ningguang and then immediately started partying with her direct intelligence officer…

To be honest, it's not serious... it's just awkward.

"By the way, where are my clothes and the things inside them?"

"The clothes aren't dry yet, and the things are on the table."

Ke Qing patted the desk next to her.

Liu Bai glanced at it and saw that the pot, watch, and other miscellaneous items were still there, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh... as long as it's still here."

Liu Bai was mainly worried that the pocket watch might disappear; if that thing was lost, things would get really serious.

Everyone fell silent for a moment. After finishing their meal, Xueyi helped throw away the trash.

Liu Bai already had a headache, so he simply lay down and went back to sleep.

"Can we go back now?"

Ke Qing glanced at the time and sighed. This day... was far too "colorful".

“I’m not busy with work.” Ningguang shook her head.

Although Keqing was assigned many tasks, those tasks were assigned to "Yuheng Star", not to Keqing.

Whose bigwig in charge of land and construction goes to the construction site to clean up mortar every day?

Besides, how many places in Liyue are currently under attack? Keqing doesn't have Shadow Clone Jutsu.

When busy, she stays in the office; when free, she goes out to dust off the plants. This is Ke Qing's normal routine.

That's why Keqing had time to play around with Ningguang.

Moreover... giving Liu Bai a good impression can actually be considered a decent job—and one with a high priority.

However, Keqing was somewhat speechless about Ningguang's attitude.

"Never mind, I'll find a room to rest for a while."

Ke Qing thought about it and realized that there was no need to go back. She could just find a room at the Rock Tea House and sleep for a while.

"Ningguang, you can continue to stay with her... but I think it's time to 'return' her?"

Ke Qing joked.

While Kitsune-no-miya and Mikoto-chiyo are anything but proper, Kujo Sara is quite proper.

If Ningguang were to spend the whole night with him, it would be a bit too deliberate—of course, if Ningguang really didn't care about saving face, then she had nothing to say.

Ningguang thought about it and felt that Keqing's words made some sense. She had already won over the greatest favor, and continuing to sit here all night would indeed be too deliberate and a bit too much.

Ningguang nodded in agreement.

After persuading Ningguang, Keqing stretched and got up.

pat!

"……what."

Ke Qing's large movement swept the pocket watch off the table.

"It's not broken, is it?"

Hearing the crisp sound of the fall, Ke Qing bent down with some concern.

To be honest, this pocket doesn't look expensive.

But Keqing is not the kind of person who judges things by their monetary value.

The worst-case scenario is that this pocket watch contains an old photograph, and it was a gift from some important person.

If you do it that way, things will get complicated.

So Keqing immediately bent down and picked up the pocket watch.

Then open the pocket watch cover to check what's inside.

Upon seeing the situation inside, Keqing immediately adopted a serious expression.

"..."

"Is it broken?"
