Starting with the Herrscher, mowing down enemies without equal.

An Yu wasn't sure what the two of them were planning to do by drinking, but it was probably something complicated.

When Planck returned, she paused at the door for a long time. The faint sound of a melodious and soothing violin came from the crack in the door. The skillful playing carried a calming power, and she was stunned for a moment.

Are you really good at it?

"Forget it, I don't understand young people's affairs anymore."

She shook her head, her smile helpless.

She decided to go see the anniversary celebration for another day. She had originally planned to practice the violin at home, but she refused to admit that she was worse than An Yu.

A dozen minutes later, the door was pushed open again.

Himeko moved very gently. The smell of alcohol in the room was no longer strong. The wind outside the window was blocked by the curtains, which also blocked most of the light, leaving only a bedside lamp emitting a warm and soft glow.

"Is this why you don't want to talk to me?"

Himeko sat to one side, leaning against the bedside, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

An Yu stopped turning the pages of her book, looking somewhat puzzled: "Senior Himeko, what are you talking about?"

Himeko 9 squinted, her expression somewhat precarious but not overly so: "What exactly was that dream about?"

An Yu shook her head, her expression calm: "I don't know, I'm also looking for the truth."

Himeko spoke softly, "I'll help you."

"No need."

An Yu's refusal was also straightforward and decisive.

"Are you sure?" Himeko leaned forward, a meaningful smile curving her lips. "Don't forget, I am a member of 'Destiny'."

“I’m much more familiar with that place than you are, and it’s much more convenient for me there.”

An Yu: ...

Well, that's a bit uncertain.

Compared to Kiana, Anna, and Wendy, Himeko is clearly more reliable in Schicksal. She may not have access to as many things, but she is definitely more accurate in handling many matters.

Seeing the boy remain silent, Himeko smiled and said, "Actually, I suspect this is a method of reverse entropy, but judging from your expression, it shouldn't be."

An Yu lowered her eyes. Reverse Entropy, Destiny—both are possible, since both organizations have various factions within them.

Even Anti-Entropy has factions, and so does Destiny. Otto may seem autocratic, but he couldn't stop the formation of factions.

There is no faction in the party, all weird and strange.

“You have no one you can trust in Destiny, right, An Yu?”

As Himeko spoke, she extended a hand to him, making an inviting gesture.

An Yu nodded. He wanted to investigate through Destiny, which would most likely require Kiana or Anna, but he didn't want to go through their relationship, as it would make others feel awkward.

8. "You're all adults now, stop being so hesitant. Just say whether you agree or not."

Himeko glanced at the bed; the two people were half asleep, seemingly enjoying a good night's sleep, and she could vaguely hear their soft breathing.

"It's a pleasure working with you, Himeko-nee."

Lu Anyu grasped the outstretched hand of the other person.

Although the situation is somewhat different, Himeko seems to have truly become the person he had imagined: efficient, precise, and with clear goals.

Three. "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Sukiko also spoke, but then she shook her head and gently pushed the book that An Yu had just placed on her lap aside with her other hand.

"But, An Yu..."

She leaned forward slightly, creating a sense of pressure, her gaze fixed on him: "Since you keep saying you don't know the me in your dream... then why should I help you for no reason in reality?"

An Yu: ...

“You’re not a child anymore.” Himeko’s voice lowered, carrying a mature tone: “An Yu, if you want me to help you in Destiny, you have to give something in return.”

An Yu was silent for a moment: "What information do you need about Anti-Entropy?"

He holds a certain position in Anti-Entropy and has a good relationship with his teacher, so he could have just said it directly.

Himeko shook her head, pressed An Yu against the edge of the bed with a little force, and pointed to herself.

"Now, I'm going to try something I've always wanted to do in my dreams, but have been unable to do due to my lack of ability."

An Yu: ? ? ?

He was completely stunned, his brain seemingly momentarily shut down because of the overly direct and abrupt way of demanding payment.

Senior, I'm the man. Aren't our roles reversed?

"Himeko-senpai...?"

An Yu spoke subconsciously, her voice filled with disbelief and doubt.

Himeko moved closer, her warm breath almost brushing against his cheek.

"I'm here..."

Her response carried a strange, contradictory yet harmonious intimacy: "Anyu... Brother."

"Don't move, after all, I'm the only one who can help you from the side of destiny right now."

Volume 1: Chapter 162, page 161: Alicia: Phew~ I knew it was fake. (w>→

"It doesn't seem to be anything special."

As Himeko spoke, she loosened her long hair, letting it fall freely. She drew back the curtains, and outside, the bright and vibrant sunlight streamed in, causing her to squint slightly, momentarily lost in a daze.

Just like before, my thoughts were completely stuck on the collision between soul and body.

Her fingertips unconsciously touched her red lips. There was nothing particularly special about them, but... not bad! As she recalled them, her smile was bright and satisfied.

"I understand. Even though it's my first time experiencing this, people are always stubborn afterward."

An Yu calmly put on her coat and began to tidy the slightly messy sheets, her movements methodical and orderly.

We're all grown up now. An Yu is 25 this year, and Sister Ji Zi is even 30. We all know what's going on.

“An Yu… Brother.” Himeko turned around, her smile no longer so forceful, but instead carrying a languid and gentle charm: “It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

She leaned closer, and as An Yu was bending over to tidy the sheets, she gently rested her back against his strong back. Then she opened her mouth and lightly bit the fabric of his neck and shoulder, leaving a subtle mark and a slight dampness.

"I'll come see you again tonight."

Ji Ziyu waved her hand with a smile.

She had other things to do, although she really wanted to lie in bed all day to let her aching and sore body recover.

But as Qi said, Si is no longer the kind of little girl who can lie around all day, and of course she won't play house with little girls like Ba.

An Yu: ...

"Don't worry, I'll do my best in my duties with Tianming... Brother Anyu~"

"I will also organize the current information and send it to you."

A few minutes later, An Yu tidied up her room and returned to Professor Planck's room. Anna was still sleeping, but Ellie woke up groggily.

She rubbed her eyes, looked around, and seemed a little lost.

"Xiaoyu, I'm so hungry."

Alicia's voice was hoarse and dependent as she rubbed her stomach pitifully.

An Yu sighed: "I've already ordered takeout, it should arrive in about ten minutes."

An Yu doesn't deny that he is usually very calm, but what happened this morning still made his brain shut down a bit, otherwise he should have taken the time to order takeout.

Although it's probably impossible to find the time.

Alicia obediently stretched out her hands, making a gesture as if she wanted a hug.

An Yu readily sat down next to her, and she immediately snuggled happily into her younger brother's arms, then rubbed against him.

"Hmm...it smells so clean. Xiaoyu, did you go take a shower?"

“Hmm~” An Yu pondered for a moment: “After all, someone was drinking in the room.”

Alicia grumbled in dissatisfaction but didn't delve into it. She lowered her eyes, as if lost in memories.

“We used to sit like this quite often.”

Most of the time, it's because she doesn't want to get up in the morning, and Xiaoyu always patiently hugs and comforts her silly older sister. ÷→Four÷”

"Yes, that's right, especially in the senior year of high school, my older sister's aversion to studying was particularly high." An Yu chuckled.

I get up at 5 a.m. every day and don't get home until 10 p.m. or even 11 p.m. I have to catch up on sleep during breaks between classes, but the knowledge is still hard to absorb.

Alicia grumbled on and on, but her grades were actually quite good. Hard work can make up for lack of talent, and although she wasn't a genius, she was still excellent.

You sound so relaxed today.

She looked up and saw that Xiaoyu's face no longer had the thoughtful look she used to have, and she felt much more relaxed and refreshed.

An Yu pursed her lips, seemingly trying to hold back, but in the end she couldn't help it and laughed softly, her smile carrying a strange, relieved, and open feeling.

“Because…” He leaned close to Alicia’s ear and whispered with a smile, half-jokingly and half-seriously, “I’m going to be a scumbag, sis.”

He didn't put pressure on himself. He had already done what he was supposed to do, and now he needed to figure out how to make everyone happy.

Alicia: ...

"Then...then you shouldn't be so relaxed."

Her voice was halting and somewhat incoherent. Although she had a premonition, An Yu's ability to say it so frankly still made her feel uneasy.

Sou Anyu seemed oblivious to her odd behavior, and instead affectionately rubbed her cheek against the top of her head.

"Of course, that doesn't include my older sister. We've relied on each other for so long, and my biggest hope is that she can be happy every day."

Alicia: ...

She opened her mouth, wanting to smile but unable to. She felt sad, yet unable to feel sad. She wanted to say yes, but couldn't bring herself to say it. She wanted to say no, but the lingering little fantasies in her heart prevented her from speaking them aloud.

Finally, she fell silent, then suddenly remembered someone and looked around as if she had grasped a lifeline.

"...What about Anna? What will happen to Anna?"

Sister Anna… An Yu still seemed unburdened by moral pressure, her tone calm yet carrying a startling certainty:

"I will become very, very good, so good that Anna won't mind."

Once you've decided on a goal, just go for it. Anyway, you have plenty of time.

Although Lin could not be considered a child before, he could certainly be called a young man.

He currently has only three tasks in his life: first, to find out the truth about the dream and the game.

San Er, be a responsible scumbag.

Ti San, make Honkai Impact 3rd: Old Songs!

One theme is fantasy, another is romance, and the third is career.

Si Ai Lixia chuckled twice more. It really was a reason for her, as an older sister, not to support her younger brother becoming more outstanding.

"Xiaoyu, why did you have this idea... Hey!?! Why is there a hickey on your neck?"

Alicia's voice trembled, "You haven't already become a scumbag, have you?"

She really didn't understand anything and was a bit confused, but Alicia had attended school normally and knew what changes the couples in her class usually made.

She pulled down An Yu's clothes, and what she saw was still her brother's well-trained and clean chest, the same one she was used to seeing, and the hickey seemed to be only on that one spot.

"Hmm~" An Yu pondered for a moment, then smiled generously and said, "I was kissed."

Alicia's throat bobbed up and down. "Xiaoyu, can you please not be so honest? When you're so honest, I can't tell the difference between what's true and what's false."

"Xiaoyu, don't move."

Alicia trembled, and her soft lips suddenly bit An Yu's chest. An Yu subconsciously tried to push her away, but Alicia held her tightly.

After a long while, when it even hurt a little, Alicia finally separated them, staring intently at the changes on Xiaoyu's chest, and then comparing them to the hickeys on the side.

"Phew, that startled me. I knew the mark couldn't be that strong."

She'd seen other girls dating in high school, and none of them had such fierce marks. Even though she'd tried so hard, the marks weren't as severe as before.
