Honkai Impact 3, but I’m Amamiya Ren!

Although it was a question, Amamiya Ren could certainly predict what choice Bronya would make.

"No problem, Bronya, I'll do anything as long as I can see Seele."

Bronya nodded as expected.

Although she still had an expressionless and cold look, Amamiya Ren always felt that she was always secretly glancing at her and Raiden Mei's tightly clasped hands, and she quietly gave off a low-pressure atmosphere as if they were showing off their affection.

Chapter 4: Banya: Are you and Xi'er playing this much?! (K words)

A dreamless night.

When Amamiya Ren opened his eyes on the spacious and comfortable luxury bed in the guest room, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Amamiya Ren did not enter the Velvet Room in a dream last night, and she didn't know what the evil god was thinking.

He had originally planned to synthesize a personality mask in the Velvet Room, but the plan was left unfinished because he failed to enter the Velvet Room in his dream.

Although according to the information given by Siegfried, it is not difficult for Amamiya Ren to pass through the Palace of the Herrscher of the Sky with her current strength.

But Amamiya Ren still habitually wanted to combine his own personality masks before exploring the palace and then start the strategy.

"Did you not drag me to the Velvet Room because you thought I didn't need help right now, or did you see that I had the [Key] and wanted me to visit the Velvet Room on my own initiative?"

After getting up from the guest room and finishing washing up, Amamiya Ren kept thinking about why the evil god did not pull her into the velvet room last night.

Although she was unable to guess the evil god's thoughts, Amamiya Ren made her own decision in her heart.

Just lying in bed and waiting for the evil god to pull you into the Velvet Room is too passive. It is best to take the initiative in your own hands.

After finishing breakfast, Amamiya Ren planned to try to use the key given to him by Kaslana to enter the Velvet Room in the real world.

"Good morning, Lian! Breakfast is ready. Just wait a moment and you can start eating right away!"

In the kitchen, Mei Raiden, wearing a white apron, was busy preparing breakfast.

After seeing Amamiya Ren walking out of the guest room, Raiden Mei's eyes suddenly lit up, and a bright smile naturally appeared on her delicate face.

The tempting aroma of food wafted out from the kitchen, bringing Amamiya Ren's thoughts, which were immersed in the velvet room, back to reality.

"Good morning, Mei, thank you for making breakfast."

A gentle curve appeared at the corner of Amamiya Ren's mouth, and he nodded slightly to Raiden Mei in the kitchen as a greeting.

You can live in Mei Raiden's room and eat meals cooked by the owner Mei Raiden herself.

Even though the relationship between Amamiya Ren and Raiden Mei has entered a period of tacit ambiguity, Amamiya Ren still feels a little embarrassed about it and wonders when she can cook for Raiden Mei.

However, Mei Raiden didn't mind this matter at all. She was even very happy to cook for Ren Amamiya and had no intention of giving up the kitchen, her own battlefield, to others.

"Good morning to you too, Bronya... You didn't get enough rest last night, you look exhausted."

After greeting Raiden Mei, Amamiya Ren turned his gaze to the silver-gray haired loli with twin ponytails sitting at the dining table in the living room. He asked Bronya with some confusion.

There was a laptop in front of Bronya. Her pair of silver-gray pupils looked very empty, and her slender white fingers kept tapping on the laptop keyboard.

However, Amamiya Ren always felt that Bronya seemed to be emptying her mind and doing mechanical work.

It's just like a miserable office worker being exploited by an unscrupulous boss.

"Is there something wrong with the creation of the Phantom Thief Channel? I thought that with your hacking skills, it should be easy to create a website."

As early as last night when she returned to Raiden's house, Amamiya Ren commissioned Bronya to create a Phantom Thief Channel.

However, Amamiya Ren hopes that the Phantom Thief Channel created by Bronya is not a website channel of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, but a Phantom Thief website belonging to the Phantom Thief of Hearts Joker alone.

The only one who can collect the people's prayers, condense them into [Sin Piercing Bullets] along with their sins, and judge and sentence the evil god Yaldabaoth is [Trickster] Ren Amamiya.

Instead of promoting the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to the world, it is better to hide the power of the team behind the scenes, and only announce the existence of [Phantom Thief Joker of Hearts] to the world, and let Amamiya Ren himself leave a strong impression in the minds of the people.

When the time comes to duel with the evil god, the people's prayers will not be scattered, but will all fall on Amamiya Ren himself, condensing a more powerful [Sin Armor-Piercing Bullet] for him.

Apart from the insignificant change of turning the Phantom Thieves of Hearts into the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, Amamiya Ren did not make any other requests to Bronya.

Even Mishima Yuki, an amateur computer enthusiast who is still a student, can create and maintain the website of the Phantom Thieves Channel. There is no reason why Bronya, a semi-transformed robot girl, cannot do the same thing...

"......No problem, Bronya can do anything!"

After being addressed by Amamiya Ren, Bronya, who seemed absent-minded, suddenly trembled. Her originally hunched waist straightened instantly, and her distracted pupils regained their luster.

"Bronya's hacking skills are world-class. It's just a matter of creating a mission website. Bronya has already completed it and promoted it on the Internet. Now, Joker, the heart-stealing thief who can steal evil thoughts from people, has become an urban legend that people talk about with relish!"

Bronya turned the laptop screen in front of her towards Amamiya Ren, showing her the fruits of her labor.

The familiar red and black art style of the website caught Ren Amamiya's eyes.

Bronya was even thoughtful enough to create a silhouette of the "Joker" on the website, which allowed the audience to see at a glance that the "Joker" was wearing a bird-wing-style windbreaker, and the pure white bird mask, which was in stark contrast to the black silhouette's body color, instantly captured the audience's attention.

Just as Bronya herself said, her hacking skills are world-class, and with her viral promotion effect, the number of visitors to the Phantom Thief Channel has now reached tens of thousands.

If Bronya had not been worried that overly drastic measures would lead to users with even more negative personalities, in order to take into account the feelings of the client, Amamiya Ren, she would have adopted a more gentle promotional method.

If Bronya were allowed to go all out without any scruples, she would be able to increase the traffic on the Phantom Thieves Channel tenfold, but unfortunately she couldn't.

Even with the mild promotional measures, many visitors attracted to the Phantom Thief Channel still left negative and questioning comments that made people frown.

Bronya has been deleting and managing negative comments that have popped up, and even used hacking methods to eliminate smear campaigns on the Internet, striving to control the direction of public opinion on the New Phantom Thief Channel in the online world.

With the assistance of Usagi, who can be regarded as a quantum computer in a sense, it would actually be much easier for Bronya to accomplish this kind of thing with her abilities.

It’s just that because she missed Seele too much, Bronya wanted to find something to help herself pass the time, so she has been doing it herself.

Moreover, no matter whether or not one has tried one's best, one must let the boss see that one has tried one's best to meet his requirements. This is also a corporate slave argument that Bronya saw when she was surfing the Internet.

Bronya, who wanted to quickly increase Amamiya Ren's favorability, agreed with this.

"Although most people who visit the Phantom Thief Channel treat it as pure fun, some people have already started leaving mission commissions on the Phantom Thief Channel. As long as you select a few mission targets and ask them to [repent], I believe that this Phantom Thief Channel will be taken seriously by people, and they will also believe in the existence of the Phantom Thief of Hearts Joker."

After introducing the results of her work to Amamiya Ren, Bronya picked up a cup of hot milk on the table in front of her and drank it all in one gulp. She felt that the fatigue from staying up late was instantly dissipated a lot.

Putting the empty milk cup on the table, Bronya looked at Amamiya Ren with her silver-gray eyes flickering, as if she was looking forward to the distribution of task rewards after completing the task. Her whole body exuded an atmosphere of expectation and prayer from the inside out.

"......You did a great job, Bronya. You're even better than I expected."

Amamiya Ren carefully read the Phantom Thief Channel that Bronya worked late into the night to create and maintain. Looking at the discussion posts that kept refreshing in the Phantom Thief Channel discussion area, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and praised Bronya.

"I understand. I'll give you a reward--Persona! Come out, Seele!!"

Jizo's soul fell from the void into the palm of Amamiya Ren's hand. He did not put on the Phantom Thief Suit, but directly activated the power of Jizo's soul to summon the personality mask into the real world.

Under Bronya's flickering eyes, a red butterfly mask quietly appeared in the air above the living room, and then turned into scarlet spots of light all over the sky.

The colorful scarlet spots of light slowly gathered together, converging into a familiar figure that made Bronya hold her breath and not want to blink even once.

"......Xi'er!"

At Bronya's gentle call, the figure of the personality mask that obeyed Amamiya Ren's summons finally fully manifested.

She has short blue-black shoulder-length hair, and is wearing a white top and a dark blue skirt. Her slender and well-proportioned white legs are wearing a pair of dark blue stockings.

Different from the bold image that was summoned by Amamiya Lian last night, wearing a scarlet dress with strange chain claws floating around her body.

The Seele that now appears in front of Bronya is undoubtedly more in line with the image of the figure in her memory who had always been with her day and night in the orphanage.

"Tsk, this is so troublesome... Sister Bronya, could you please stop bothering Seele all the time? Seele also wants to have her own time and life~~~"

Xier, who had kept her eyes closed since she appeared, slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of blood-red pupils.

Her pair of red pupils radiated undisguised malice, and her tone was deliberately disguised as being coy and weak as she whispered to Bronya, whose expression was frozen.

"No...No! Sister Bronya, Seele, Seele didn't mean that! Seele meant..."

The hurtful words had just fallen when Xier suddenly blinked again. As her eyelids blinked, the scarlet color in her eyes faded away and turned into a clear blue color like the ocean.

As if waking up from a dream, after realizing what the other self had just said to Sister Bronya, Seele suddenly looked panicked. She quickly waved her hands at Bronya, racking her brains to explain to her.

"Hmm? What's going on? Xi'er, you and Shadow Xi'er have been able to reunite? You can reunite without being pushed to the guillotine?"

Looking at Xier who looked flustered and nervous, Amamiya Ren couldn't help but frown slightly and asked Xier in surprise.

Xier's lamb-like temperament is something Shadow Xier could never learn. Even if Shadow Xier deliberately disguised herself as Xier, people would only feel that she was being weird.

It was clear that Amamiya Ren summoned Shadow Seele. When Shadow Seele first appeared, she was indeed impatient to express her dislike for Bronya through words.

However, this time, it was not just Shadow Seele who appeared in the real world in response to the summons. Even Seele herself was summoned out.

This made Amamiya Ren think of Lavenda, who was also torn into two.

After Lavenda was torn into Kaslana and Ristina by the evil god, she was able to be reunited and transformed back into her complete form by accepting the execution of the guillotine... Although Lavenda's personalities were not perfectly and harmoniously blended together, she was even able to actively split herself into the form of twins.

But the only way to glue the split self back together is through the guillotine in the Velvet Room.

It was too strange that Xier and Shadow Xier had returned to being one person without any warning.

"What? Guillotine?! Are you kidding me? You actually want to push Xier to the guillotine?!"

Hearing Amamiya Ren's words that seemed to imply that Seele was about to be beheaded, Seele's eyes, which had originally turned red as she tried to explain to Bronya, suddenly turned scarlet.

After Shadow Xier took away Xier's account, she instantly distanced herself from Amamiya Lian and looked at Amamiya Lian with wide eyes with full vigilance.

Shadow Xier's hair stood on end like a kitten with its fur standing on end. Her fair and tender fingertips unconsciously stroked her delicate and smooth neck, and she always felt that her neck was a little cold.

"I didn't expect you to have such a perverted hobby... I don't allow you to attack Xier! If you really can't help it, then come at me. I won't die anyway!"

Recalling that the real Seele was not here and that this body was just a projection created by Amamiya Ren for herself, Shadow Seele slowly relaxed her tense body.

Under Bronya's stunned gaze.

Shadow Xier showed a fearless expression and took the initiative to show Amamiya Lian her smooth and white neck, which is the human body's weak point.

Chapter 4: Xi'er can't go back....(K words)

"You seem to hate Bronya, and you keep interrupting and preventing the other Seele from talking to Bronya... It seems that you inherited Seele's dissatisfaction with Bronya, and the other Seele inherited her affection for Bronya."

Amamiya Ren ignored Shadow Seer's overly exaggerated performance. Recalling the situation he had observed before, he made a thoughtful inference.

"........"

Shadow Xier's body froze in place, and her blood-red eyes shifted away unnaturally.

Although she did not respond to Amamiya Ren, Shadow Seele's performance seemed as if Amamiya Ren's inference had hit the bull's eye.

"Is that so? Another me, do you hate Sister Bronya?"

Realizing that Shadow Seele had fallen into a guilty silence after hearing Amamiya Ren's words, Seele regained control of her body, blinked her ocean-blue eyes, and cautiously asked the other Seele.

"........"

In response to Xier's question, Shadow Xier seemed to be offline and did not respond at all.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by another Xi'er? Does that mean there is more than one Xi'er?!"

Listening to the conversation between Amamiya Ren and Seele, Bronya felt that her brain, which had become dull due to staying up late, was now blank as if it had crashed.

Amamiya Ren and Seele seemed to be talking about something that only they knew, while Bronya seemed to be excluded. No matter what she did, she could not enter the exclusive channel that belonged to only the two of them and understand what was happening to Seele.

"As you understand, this is also one of the side effects of Cocolia's human experiments on Xi'er."

Amamiya Ren turned her gaze away from Seele and explained to Bronya who was still confused.

As Seele's close sister in the orphanage, Bronya certainly needs to know everything that happens to Seele.

"I had already awakened before that damn experiment. The human experiment that damned Cocolia conducted on Xier only accelerated my awakening progress and increased the power I control..."

The azure eyes were quietly tinged with a hint of scarlet, and Shadow Xier came back online. She curled her lips in disdain and argued with Amamiya Lian.

Although Cocolia's human experiments caused Shadow Seele's power to increase significantly, Shadow Seele obviously did not have any good feelings towards Cocolia because the forced development of potential endangered Seele's life.

Before Shadow Seele became another Seele, she was the shadow in Seele's heart. She was only separated because of Cocolia's human experiments. Shadow was born earlier than Seele underwent human experiments, which is nothing to be surprised about.

"To put it simply, there are two Xi'er now. One is gentle and likes you, and the other is irritable and doesn't like you... You can even say that she is jealous of you."

Amamiya Ren explained Seele's current situation to Bronya.

Recalling the jealousy sin desire stones that she had collected in Seele's palace, Amamiya Ren also made a special addition to Bronya.

"————Who are you saying is jealous of Bronya?!"

The addition made by Amamiya Lian was like a landmine that exploded, instantly causing Shadow Xier to react violently, her eyes wide open like a kitten with her teeth bared, and she shouted at Amamiya Lian in a timid manner.

........Seeing Shadow Xier's obvious and straightforward reaction, Amamiya Ren finally understood where the sin of jealousy in Xier's palace came from.
