Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

There will be neither any particularly heavy burden, nor will there be the expectations of countless people, nor will there be any knowledge of hidden truths or understanding of the crises lurking in peace due to one's own limited perspective.

Aside from things like a collapsed railway that are almost impossible to encounter, none of the current crises are entirely insurmountable. Otto, whom we once worried about, has become an enemy who is fearless.

The only things that can accumulate psychological pressure are loneliness and the friction of life, which are two completely unrelated things.

With Velvi, Alicia, and Raiden Mei, it's a top-tier machine for turning even the most determined heroes into trash.

……

250. Alicia: Velvet is a bit too perverted!

Even a savior determined to save the world and burdened with the expectations of countless people, if not warned in advance, would probably be corrupted by the blissful, carefree life of a useless person who can solve everything and easily overcome any difficulty.

Why would anyone doubt the level of a "useless person-making machine"?

Housework, force, wisdom...

On this point alone, Jiang Cheng could not tolerate the girls' self-doubt, and for the first time, he tried to raise the back of his hand again.

He forcefully pulled himself away from the enormous weight that weighed several kilograms, a weight that could have corroded even the most virile person, just to point a thumbs-up at himself.

He forcefully drew the girls' attention to his face, and his pale complexion, which had been dulled by the overwhelming impact, regained its vitality. He closed his tightly pursed lips, and his deep blue eyes held a confidence he had for the first time.

"If a man who lives off a woman and is raised to be a useless person can still have any psychological pressure, then he is just too trashy."

“I don’t have any so-called male chauvinism, nor do I think I’m very capable or powerful. I’m not jealous, nor do I feel inferior because of it.”

"Don't worry so much. Although I may not be as good as you in many ways, I have more experience as an ordinary person than all of you combined."

"—Please believe me, my dear Mei and Airi."

……

Opening up is always the most comfortable thing to do; being able to express your feelings without any reservations is the highest level of need.

Although the side effect is that any conflict or dissatisfaction could spark a fire, if everyone's eyes are only on one person, then no spark will be able to ignite, no matter how much attention they receive.

The warm atmosphere that had been ignited instantly diminished the tension of catching someone in the act of adultery. The mutual dissatisfaction and grudges among the three seemed to be temporarily suppressed, turning into a perfect ending of sleeping together under the same blanket—until the only girl with her back to the camera shook her snow-white skin, and for the first time, her delicate voice, tinged with dissatisfaction, couldn't hold back any longer and let out a sound.

"There's me too!"

Please don't leave me hanging.

"I admit that I did this partly to help you relieve stress, Jiang Cheng, but I also really wanted to feel your presence in this way!"

Even with her back turned, one could clearly picture the girl puffing out her cheeks and pouting her lips, expressing her dissatisfaction like a pufferfish.

"For life, touch, pain, and pleasure are the senses that are most able to perceive existence."

"My condition is more serious than Mei and Alicia combined. If I don't take drastic measures, low self-esteem can kill a person."

"I've said this to you so many times. Every time I explain it to you and you agree, I have to explain it to you all over again next time. Can you stop being so protective of me? It's not like there will be any real problems. I'm a genius, how could I possibly misjudge the situation?"

"If I really just want to solve your psychological problems and help you release your stress, there are so many ways I can do it. I don't need to... nor am I foolish enough to resort to the worst form of self-harm."

"Although I have never been able to solve my own problems and can only rely on you, I actually have some research and understanding of psychology."

"It is a foolish thing to help others by hurting yourself, because it will only make you feel heartbroken and resentful again and again."

"Consider this payment for tolerating your relationship with Mei. Please, just this once, listen to me! My dearest Jiang Cheng~"

If you only use seemingly reasonable behaviors like guilt and punishment after making a mistake to drive a teenager, it's impossible to subtly cultivate them into a perverted person who can't live without you.

Because teenagers never follow the rules, they call themselves ordinary people, mortals, but they will break the rules without hesitation when necessary.

What does it mean to be punished for doing something wrong?

What good is it to feel guilty and want to be punished?

Since wrongdoing should be punished, then we should deny the wrongdoing itself, refuse to acknowledge or allow it, and ignore reality for the sake of it.

If the symptoms are mild, the person will try to make amends and focus the punishment on remediation. If the symptoms are severe, the person will try to eliminate the mistake directly.

If the guilt stems from hurting him, then through psychological counseling and rigorous treatment, no matter how difficult, we will gradually help the person he loves to approach a normal person's mindset.

There is no victim who should be victimized, no one who takes a little will want more. He will always admit that he has been helped, and when someone makes a mistake, he will take the time to explore that person's inner thoughts, while also taking into account the factors of the times.

Never extreme, nor with unwavering will.

He was neither a hero nor a villain.

Therefore, they will not appear arrogant, nor will they appear presumptuous. They will not consider themselves superior to others, nor will they possess excessive self-confidence. They will not look down on anyone, nor will they consider themselves to be above all others or to be ordinary people.

When it comes to loved ones, especially important people, we may unconsciously seek a certain degree of equality, hoping to consider their thoughts and ensure that our actions do not harm those we love.

This might seem a bit indecisive.

They lacked both determination and perseverance.

However, it is precisely because of this that they seem overly determined to do unconventional things, and are absolutely unwilling to easily start something unknown and uncertain.

What truly drives a teenager forward is never guilt or punishment. Unconditional favoritism will make him deny and ignore all rules and regulations. No matter how reasonable the reason seems, it cannot stop the power generated by love. The only thing that can change a teenager is a necessary action that benefits both parties and makes both parties happy.

Unlike Alicia and Raiden Mei, who would presume to dissuade someone based on a partial guess, Velvi simply lowered her body, swaying and lifting it, making the other part appear even more alluring as she turned her head, ensuring that her face conveyed all her emotions perfectly.

Her face, puffed up like a pufferfish that had been provoked and toyed with, was covered in dust. Her long khaki hair swayed in the air, gently blown by the wind, and her silver-gray eyes sparkled with a hint of expectation.

Like the dew on green leaves in the early morning, full of moisture accumulated overnight, it may fall unintentionally, as if you can see tears hanging in the corners of the eyes.

"Even when you first opened your heart after joining Spiral Workshop, wasn't it when you were with me?"

"If it really doesn't work out, just think of me as a pervert who only exposes himself in front of you. I just like this kind of thing."

……

……

what?

what? !

Even Alicia, who thought she knew Velvi very well, was like Raiden Mei at this moment, her mouth agape and her eyes darting around.

Even when faced with the broken Herrscher, she showed no doubt or panic. She had never been surprised by the evil in human nature. But for the first time, she was confused about things other than the boy.

—Because Vervier openly made a perverted declaration.

Despite saying such shameful words, her lovely face remained unchanged, without blushing or flinching.

It's as if saying this in front of everyone isn't shameful at all; for the girl, calling herself a "limited-time pervert" is as simple as eating and drinking.

This is indeed something other than eating and drinking.

It's not surprising, nor is it anything special.

All-around geniuses have always been like this.

These labels, which can be called outrageous or absurd, are essentially the same as those for non-human monsters, omnipotent geniuses, or incomprehensible oddities. They all stem from the fear that others feel when something they cannot understand appears in someone who seems to be the same as themselves.

The former Wilvi cared a lot about this. She could be upset for a whole day because of other people's comments. If someone said she disliked her, she would stay at home alone and not go out. She would even choose to escape from herself because of the accumulated malice.

never mind.

It doesn't matter anymore.

There is no point anymore.

Because you have already become a teenager, because you have already obtained the most important thing in life—compared to the unique, indispensable light that is greater than the sun, any sarcastic remarks seem to have no weight.

The only thing that can have an impact is the boy's behavior, and the only thing that can continue to be interfered with is the boy's will.

Negative words can cause sadness.

Encouraging praise makes people happy.

They will give you whatever you want.

If you're hated, then die.

The logic is so simple, so extreme; it has never left itself any way out, nor does it want any way out other than being a teenager.

Geniuses are inherently biased towards one thing; only ordinary people get stuck in a mediocre situation. Truly capable people are often persistent and determined to break through any obstacle, even if it means getting hurt.

Having talent that surpasses others can instinctively bring arrogance, and what may seem like a lack of confidence is actually just a hidden confidence.

A girl who can separate herself from extreme evil is definitely not some gentle, water-like being devoid of any sense of self or pride.

As a genius who can achieve anything she sets her mind to, she is on a completely different level compared to other scholars. Even a fraction of her talent could be compared to her. She has surpassed the design specifications of humanity and should not have any interaction with normal people. Yet, this girl willingly becomes a plaything of an ordinary person, an ordinary person with no distinguishing characteristics, whose dignity and everything about her can be trampled on at will.

This behavior, which defies the instinct for life and the very essence of being human, is something no one else can do; it is the manifestation of the girl's inhumanity.

……

“I know… our feelings don’t need much explanation, and it’s unnecessary to keep proving it with words. But I still want to say that I can do these things for you. I’m willing and happy to give. I don’t want you to have any misunderstandings, or any attempts to avoid bothering me for my own good… even the slightest thing would hurt.”

"I've troubled you so many times and you've always helped me. Even though I was so reluctant to talk about my difficulties, it was with your help that I was able to confide my problems without worry."

"I will do whatever it takes, I am willing to do whatever it takes. You just need to speak up and don't hide anything from me."

"Compared to your request, no matter how difficult or strange it may be, I feel... that your choice to keep it a secret will hurt me more."

"And even if you raise some outrageous questions, to me it's just a small matter that can be solved by spending a little more effort."

"Didn't you say I'm a genius?!"

……

Because her physical attributes are tailored to a teenager's, the punishment must be comfortable, with the feel and flexibility perfectly balanced. It must be more refined than the best sandbag, and the reward after each strike must be appropriate to cause damage: bloodstains, bruises, swelling...

He shouldn't be so easily beaten into serious injury that it would cause the boy unnecessary worry, nor should he be too resilient, lest he lose his sense of accomplishment in the fight.

This will make the boy feel happy, and after the initial rejection, he will not be able to help but praise the perfection of his own body.

The girl's favorite moment was when she was being punished while hearing the boy's sweet words, a perfect enjoyment for both her body and soul.

Pain is transformed into a sense of existence; the boy's presence is felt at every moment, and the praise received provides satisfaction based on this existence.

Nothing could make one happier than this. If there is one, it must be that the boy is also very happy, without any dissatisfaction or rejection, willing to confide everything in himself, and genuinely enjoying the feeling of being with him, interacting and having fun.

These personal hobbies need not be hidden; an insecure girl would never have anything to keep secret from her lover.

Otherwise, if it were a matter of using her own body to relieve the boy's stress, Alicia might do it, and that girl named Mei might also have the opportunity to do it.

Because we don't know or can't find a better method or a better reason, we can only use a relatively bad method that will cause harm.
