Honkai: Strijder (Honkai Impact 3 Male MC)

"So, your eagerness to cut his flesh is to see if you can synthesize Soulium yourself?"

Tesla held a piece of meat in one hand and a beer in the other, nudging Sigurd's head with her elbow while casually asking.

Sigurd moved backward a bit.

"Dr. Tesla, that is indeed the case. And please, maintain your image."

"What's wrong with my image? Welt, do I look like I didn't do my makeup right?"

Welt handed Tesla the freshly grilled meat and stared at her silently. After a moment, he sighed.

Sigh

"Hey, why are you sighing!?"

"Dr. Tesla, I believe Yang merely wants to avoid damaging your pride."

Einstein sat nearby, calmly explaining.

"What do you mean, you Mophead!?"

"Dr. Tesla, I think it's more important to discuss the matter at hand. I didn't expect Soulium to have such intricacies, which is why its properties are almost miraculous, to the extent that Dr. Tesla has been trying for years but still can't create a material that can match it."

Einstein said, diverting Tesla's attention from the image issue.

"That's right, Dr. Tesla is exceptionally brilliant. I believe you will succeed."

"That's more like it..."

"We just don't know how long it'll take."

Einstein added with a cool tone.

Tesla immediately perked up her twin ponytails, grabbed the meat in her hand, and instinctively swung it in Einstein's direction.

"What did you say!?"

Smack!

The meat flew off the skewer and struck Einstein right on the forehead, leaving a noticeable grease stain on her once pristine forehead.

Sigurd: "..."

Welt: "..."

Tesla: "ヽ(￣д￣;)ノ..."

Einstein remained silent for a moment, her posture unmoving, and then calmly said, "Eins, activate the destruction mode. Target: Tesla."

"Understood, Doctor."

The blue spherical robot floating behind Einstein, which had a cute and silly electronic smile, instantly transformed into a ferocious and menacing shark-toothed grin.

Simultaneously, numerous autonomous combat drones armed with guns emerged from all directions, their barrels aimed directly at the terrified Tesla.

"Wait, wait, calm down, Einstein—I mean, Dr. Einstein! It wasn't intentional! I swear, it wasn't intentional!"

The ruthless machine couldn't understand Tesla's pleas, and several laser beams swept toward her.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Squeak—

"Waaah! Welt, help me!"

After surviving a round of attacks with the help of her mechanical gauntlets, Tesla scrambled and crawled behind Welt. Her petite body was entirely hidden behind Welt's tall frame, with only a pair of frightened eyes peeking out at Einstein.

Welt cast a glance at Tesla clinging to his back and then looked at Einstein's composed expression. He sighed, rubbed his forehead, and said, "Stop fooling around."

Welt, with a hint of a headache and helplessness, rubbed Tesla's head and then approached Einstein with a clean, warm, damp towel in hand.

"Don't move; let me clean this up for you."

"Sure."

Welt bent down in front of Einstein, removed the piece of grilled meat that had fallen on her clothes, and gently wiped the grease stain off her forehead. His actions were naturally gentle and filled with tenderness.

Einstein tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes, and in the gentle motion of Welt's cleaning, her expression gradually softened, revealing a faint, gentle smile.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

This scene left Tesla staring blankly as she downed several sips of beer, feeling particularly uncomfortable.

"Alright, all cleaned up, Tesla, come over and apologize to Einstein."

"I don't want to; it's all fine now!"

"Tesla!"

"Are you scolding me!?"

Tesla stood with one hand on her hip, the other holding her beer and pointing it at Welt, her aura quite imposing.

Welt's expression dropped as he rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't scold you..."

"You definitely did!"

"Really, I didn't."

"I said you did, don't argue with me!"

With that, Tesla had already marched up to Welt and began poking his chest, her manner quite arrogant – and unfortunately, she was one of the few people who could leave Welt feeling helpless.

Welt felt quite exhausted, just as he was pondering how to appease this little troublemaker, he heard Einstein's cool voice from behind.

"Make way, Yang. Some people won't learn unless they've had enough lessons. It seems I'll have to give Dr. Tesla a long-overdue etiquette lesson."

"Huh! You think I'm really scared of you!? Come forth, Arataho!"

Boom!

A giant robot descended from the sky, wielding an enormous cannon in one hand and drawing a red giant sword with the other. The narrow eye section emitted a red light, a symbol of the attack mode.

The massive robot faced off against the floating army of autonomous machines, with blue-haired Einstein and red-haired Tesla confronting each other. The scent of gunpowder began to fill the air.

In the midst of all this, Welt, standing at the center, had a bewildered expression. Why were they about to start a fight?

...

At this moment, Sigurd had silently retreated to the outskirts of the courtyard, watching the spectacle with the others.

"See that? This is what happens when you mishandle emotional matters! Sig, in the future, you need to be more careful and think things through in this regard," Kiana said with a knowing tone.

Sigurd looked at her, wearing a puzzled expression. "What are you implying?"

"I mean, you better handle these children's matters well! If something happens to them, I won't let you off easily!" Kiana said.

While she didn't understand what was going through his mind, Sigurd reassured her, saying, "Don't worry, I won't let them get into danger easily."

"Who told you that!??" Kiana exclaimed.

Bronya patted Kiana's back to calm her down and added, "What Kiana's trying to say is, multiple love interests, harem, not allowed!"

Bronya crossed her arms and made a gesture of denial.

Kiana silently gave her a thumbs up.

Sigurd looked at these two with a puzzled expression. "From a rational perspective, even the most beautiful women are just flesh and proteins. Engaging with the opposite sex has no substantial benefits aside from genetic inheritance, and the cost is a considerable expenditure of energy, time, and even health. I must say, having a relationship with a woman for the purpose of passing on genes is understandable. But for those who want more than one, isn't the time and life spent on dealing with the additional one can be spent elsewhere?"

Kiana: "..."

Bronya: "..."

"Why are you both silent?" Looking at the girl who just looked at him with a blank stare, Sigurd furrowed his brow.

Hearing his question, Kiana let out a sigh and looked up at the moon with a smile.

"Nothing,"

Bronya, on the other hand, had a slight smirk on her face and said, "Sigurd is a dummy."

Sigurd, who doesn't understand any of it, can only look at the twin tailed girl with confusion clearly written on his face.
