Honkai Impact 3rd: I picked up a Seele at the start of the game.

Chapter 132 Next time we meet, I will be colorful.

……

After washing his face to clear his head, Yun Fuyu suddenly received a vibration message. Opening his phone, he saw that the bonus Mei had promised him had arrived in his account.

"Let me count, ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... Ah... Holy crap!"

He couldn't help but utter a surprised curse.

Hearing his voice coming from the bathroom, Seele leaned against the doorframe and peeked in: "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Yun Fuyu, holding her phone, looked up at Xier and said, "We're rich now."

"Huh?? What happened?"

After washing her face and calming down, Yun Fuyu explained, "Wai Bi Ba Bu..."

According to Mei, because he bravely saved a transport ship and a large number of elite soldiers and staff on board, plus the reactor incident he resolved yesterday, plus the bonus and compensation for being the first fusion warrior, plus... in short, Mei gave him a bonus of ten million "Mu Yuan" all at once, and said that the remaining half would be paid in installments...

Mei's subtext is: Hurry up and take Seele out to play! The responsibility of saving the world is now in your hands!

"Ah... she's serious..."

But the feeling of suddenly becoming rich is really great!

Let me think... I should get Seele some new clothes, but the wardrobe in the apartment is too small. Maybe I should just buy another one. Since I have a new wardrobe, I might as well renovate Seele's bed, floor, walls, and everything else in her room. After all, it's a place I'll be visiting often... Hmm? Why not just buy an apartment?

After checking the housing prices in the vicinity, Yun Fuyu chuckled and immediately dismissed the idea.

This is the center of the Mu Continent!!! This amount of money is only enough to buy two toilets!!

...Wait, that's not right either. I think the Fire Moths have a housing subsidy program?

Let me see...

Seeing Yun Fuyu inexplicably looking up information on her phone, Xi'er tilted her head, looking puzzled.

The afternoon's fun began with checking house prices!

———Alicia's Perspective———

"Hi? ~ Dear Möbius, I've come to visit you again! ~"

The beautiful pink-haired girl greeted him cheerfully, but the green-haired doctor just stared at her coldly with his snake-like eyes.

Yes, Mebius is still holding a grudge. This includes, but is not limited to: Previously, in order to fulfill Yun Fuyu's wish to see Alicia, he ended up being tricked into organizing a matchmaking event, only to be completely ripped off by Wilvi; a long time ago, Yun Fuyu lied to him, saying he had seen Alicia, and Mebius actually believed him, subconsciously starting to find all sorts of excuses for his identity; finding a pink dress in the closet this morning, oh ho ho ho; the instant noodles weren't cooked properly this morning, the lab mouse died, the floor wasn't clean… it's all Alicia's fault!!!

Even now, watching Klein being relentlessly fondled by Alicia, it's as if the victim is witnessing their own girl writhing and submitting to the blonde (pink-haired) girl... Ahhhhhh! All the pink-haired girls, get out of here!!

She retorted coldly, "Alicia, how much free time do you have? Everyone else is busy, but you like to wander around and bother other people?"

Mebius almost managed to trick... uh, coax, coax Klein into feeding her snacks by hand, but then Alicia suddenly burst in! She snatched Klein away and rubbed her while greeting her as if nothing had happened!

Mebius's eyes blazed with fury: "If you really have nothing better to do, I suggest you go to the Far East and take care of the Third Herrscher's companion Honkai Beast! By the way, if you die, I'll be very 'sad' collecting your corpse!"

"Don't talk to girls so rudely..."

Perhaps her past experiences have changed Alicia's mindset, or perhaps she was never the lovable, flawless girl she once was. This Alicia now particularly enjoys seeing others "get anxious"—it's a rare source of amusement for her.

But she couldn't let her persona crumble. She muttered a small complaint and released Klein from her arms. Klein immediately ran behind Möbius; this pink-haired woman was terrifying! It actually felt so good when she petted her…

Alicia sat down on the swivel chair next to her, spinning around as she said, "Mebius, I heard from Klein that you promised Yun Fuyu that you wanted me to meet him?"

Möbius immediately looked at Klein, who blinked innocently: "Doctor, you haven't fulfilled your promise yet, this is the simplest solution..."

Simple and direct are often the most effective synonyms.

Alicia said with a grin, "Although being used as a bargaining chip makes me a little sad, since it's Mebius's business, I'll gladly accept! Don't worry, I'll go see him myself soon, and you can cross this off your to-do list~"

"Oh?" Möbius retorted, "You'd be so kind? Tell me, what's the price?"

Given Alicia's personality, it's mostly things like going out to eat with her, having dessert, going to the amusement park, watching movies, taking a bath, or sleeping together in the same bed... I hate it.

However, Alicia smiled and shook her head: "How could you assume Alicia like that? She genuinely wants to help you solve your problem! Don't worry, I'm a bit busy lately, so I won't ask you to come with me for meals, amusement parks, movies, baths, or bedtime~"

Klein stared wide-eyed, looking at Alicia, then at Mebius, then back at Alicia… as if marveling at how elaborate the game was.

Mebius forcefully grabbed Klein's face and pushed her back behind him, raising his head and saying, "If it's just about having a meal together, that's fine, but since you don't need it, then I'll save myself the trouble!"

To Mebius's surprise, when she heard her say that, Alicia just looked at her gently, as if she were looking at a beloved person or a mischievous child.

His gaze was as deep as the sea, unfathomable.

"Ahem! If there's nothing else, I'll go back to work. You can go wherever you want!"

Mebius felt a sudden pang of panic, and after saying this in a fit of irritation, he grabbed Klein and left.

Only Alicia's barely audible murmur remained.

'How lovely, dear Möbius.'

'Well then, goodbye. Next time we meet, I'll be in color.'

……

Colorful: vibrant, all-encompassing. This alludes to the fact that Alicia is currently monotonous and incomplete.
