I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

Page 240

After the two of them had been playing the nesting game for most of the day, Hanabi couldn't help but burst into laughter like a little chick, and the fox mask on her face returned to her head like a stream of light.

Qiong also smiled and followed suit.

Joyful laughter drifted to every corner of the Moon-Exploring Pavilion, only gradually subsiding after a long while.

"Oh my gosh~ I really made the right choice coming here this time~!"

"Since Sambo returned to the tavern last time, he has been praising me to the skies. I have also seen the 'stage play' he recorded. It was about switching the Great Guardian's daughter with the real thing, stirring up the stagnant waters of Beloborg, pushing the world to the brink of disaster, and then turning into a hero."

"Hmm, this play gets you 97 points!"

"It sounds like you got a really high score, but it's been so long, shouldn't we get up and play? The ground is a bit cold, aren't you uncomfortable staying in this position?"

The two chatted and played around with the changing weather, still maintaining the posture of Sora lying on the ground with Hanabi riding on him.

This isn't your average riding style.

Hanabi's fair and delicate legs were wrapped around Qiong's neck, her calves crossed, and her exquisite jade feet, clad in red thread wooden clogs, twisted inward, with her toes touching.

The crotch, thighs, calves, and toes, with terrifying flexibility, form two irregular rhomboid shapes.

The thigh and half of the calf resembled the shackles worn around the necks of ancient prisoners, locking Qiong's neck, while the other half of the calf and the toes served as the support points for Qiong's head and Hanabi's lower body.

Qiong took a few deep breaths, blowing open the lotus leaf-like hem of her skirt.

"This is a position that only you, my darling, can enjoy!"

Hanabi extended a finger and tapped Sora's forehead, pushing his head back towards his groin.

"However, it does feel a little itchy~ just like my heart~!"

He pulled his pert buttocks back, retreating from the back of his neck to his chest, and pressed his hands against Qiong's head. Hanabi jumped up from him with a "hey!"

Qiong's head fell backward under the force of the firework, and under normal circumstances, her head would hit the ground hard.

But Qiong was ready when Hanabi moved her little bottom. With a push of her waist, she reached out and grabbed Hanabi's soft calf.

Fireworks lost her balance as a result of jumping backward. She could have adjusted, but she chose to give up.

"Ouch!"

Hanabi, looking like a delicate and easily pushed-over little girl, fell to the ground, saying shyly and plaintively:

"You were so rough the first time, you made me sprain my ankle, you bad boy!"

She braced herself with one hand on the ground, while reaching out the other hand toward Qiong, clearly intending for Qiong to pull her up.

"I'll be gentler next time."

Without the slightest hesitation, Qiong reached out her hand, and Hanabi helped her up from the ground.

"Mmm~ Okay, okay~!"

Overjoyed, she skipped over to the inner seats of the pavilion. Hanabi swung her leg up, then suddenly remembered something and stretched out her soft, boneless little hand towards the sky again.

"Oh dear, I almost fell for your trick! Where's my proposal gift?"

Are you sure you want this gift?

Qiong picked up the crystals that had fallen beside her, tossed them up, and they fell back down.

"Wow, that's amazing."

Although the scene of him playing with trash was quite an eyesore, there was clearly no energy fluctuation or special power in Qiong's hands, yet none of the trash stuck to his hands at all.

"No, no more."

Hanabi pinched her little nose and made a super exaggerated vomiting motion.

"Darling, let's save this gift for Little Grey."

"They want something else!"

"Then I'll give myself to you? You can do whatever you want with me, my personal plaything."

Really?

Sakura's big eyes lit up, and Hanabi showed a surprised expression.

"real!"

Removing her persona, Qiong nodded earnestly to confirm that she had not lied.

"However, I gave you such an expensive gift, aren't you going to give me something in return?"

"Honey, what do you want?"

Hanabi smiled sweetly.

"I'm giving you myself, so of course you should reciprocate by giving yourself! That way, the value is equal, right?"

Qiong smiled.

"Okay~ Okay~!"

Hanabi nodded repeatedly, took small steps and circled around Sora, then reached out and tightly grabbed his arm as if she were holding her own personal possession.

"So you belong to me now?"

"Eh."

Qiong raised her other hand. "Darling, I said I'd give you 'myself,' not that I'd give myself to you."

"What does 'self...and self...' mean?"

With a slight twitch of her brow, Hanabi asked with a beaming smile.

"It's the Hoshi you played before. You don't really think she's my sister, do you? Really? Detective Hanabi-sama, you really didn't notice?"

Qiong's voice became affected and pretentious.

With her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, Hanabi's expression became meaningful: "Oh, something's up."

"Honey, you really brought so many surprises!"

These two gray-haired creatures are actually the same person. No wonder Qiong was able to see through her disguise so quickly. Is she a clone?

Unlike...

"I gave you the star as a proposal gift; go and get it yourself. Now it's time to give you a return gift, isn't it?"

"Hanabi-sama never breaks her promises! Darling, please be gentle with me!"

Hanabi raised her hand, bringing her wrists together, as if she were being tied up with rope.

During this time, Hanabi's pupils underwent a subtle change, and a cherry blossom within them suddenly bloomed.

The moment she bloomed, she completed the switch between her true form and her illusion; the firework left behind was merely an energy clone.

however……

Caught off guard, a magnificent black and red katana appeared out of thin air in Sora's hand and mercilessly pierced through the chest of her clone, Hanabi.

Crimson particles began to emanate from her chest, and feathers with a reddish gradient fell from the air. Qiong placed her palm on Hanabi's face and put a black and gold Persona mask on her head. The mask then disappeared.

"Now, I really am Hanabi~!"

A sly glint flashed in her eyes as Qionghua looked mockingly in the direction where Hanabi was.

"..."

Hanabi's pupils twitched slightly in shock, then she slowly materialized, looking at Sora and her clone in disbelief.

Chapter 233 Performing a One-Man Show for Fireworks.

Wow! Darling, you always manage to surprise me!

"Can you tell me, honey, how did you do that? Please tell me! Please tell me!"

Hanabi covered her mouth in surprise, her expression somewhat exaggerated, her tone so sweet it gave one goosebumps.

She only appeared surprised on the surface; in reality, she was genuinely surprised.

She had her control over her clone taken away, as if she had been eroded by a force and changed into the shape of the sky.

What Hanabi found most unbelievable was that the spiritual will within her clone was influenced by Sora...

She wasn't sure if she was being covered, replaced, merged with, or absorbed by Qiong's personality, but whatever the nature of it was, this kind of operation was unprecedented!

"Is it the special ability of my darling's exclusive mask? And what is this knife?"

She was as lively and energetic as a female protagonist who had stepped out of a Disney movie, even more hyperactive than someone with ADHD. She kept touching and rubbing against the dome.

Like hopscotch, it landed on one foot in front of Sora Hanabi, and after standing still, it played a game of staring at Sora Hanabi.

"Press 5 for inquiries."

After staring into those cherry blossom-shaped pink eyes for a few seconds, Qiong Huahua gave a business-like smile, placing her arms obediently in front of her, mimicking the posture of a receptionist in a government office.

"55555!"

Pretending to show a look of sudden realization, as if she had just learned how to ask a question, Hanabi pulled out a button labeled '5' from somewhere and frantically pressed it with a speed that would put even a top-tier interstellar player, whose name is known throughout the myriad worlds, to shame.

Your inquiry has been received.

Qiong Huabi maintained her customer service-like tone and smile, "The answer is—5. I can tell you!"

Qionghua held up a slender white finger and smiled as she reminded, "Oh, by the way, the number 5 sounds like 'nothing,' which is quite amusing!"

"Hahaha~ Isn't Hanabi-sama's joke hilarious~?"

The twin ponytails on her little head swayed back and forth. Qiong Hanabi smiled and moved closer to Hanabi. Their two identical, charming faces were less than 5 centimeters apart, and they could feel each other's breath.

"Hanabi-sama wouldn't tell such a boring, lame joke~"

Staring at the clone controlled by Sora in front of her, Hanabi pouted and shook her head with a wronged tone.

"That's right~ This third-rate lame joke is completely unworthy of Hanabi-sama's taste~!"

Qionghua's pink pupils narrowed into two crescent moons.

"How about we play a game?"

She raised her slender hand, and a small, toy-like women's revolver appeared, pink and white with cherry blossom engravings.

The thumb slid across the spinning wheel, which spun around in the flourishes created by the little hand's flicking motion. Qionghua Huo pressed the pink toy pistol against the back of Huahuo's head.

"I'll bet on the fate of counterfeit goods."

Hanabi's feigned aggrieved expression suddenly stopped, and her brows twitched.

Another clone of Hanabi appeared before Hanabi, her right hand pointing to her right eye, pulling down her eyelid, and taunting Hanabi:

"Hehehe~!"

This clone comes from Hanabi Sora. Just like Naruto Uzumaki's Shadow Clone Jutsu can still create more Shadow Clone Jutsu, Hanabi's clone has the ability to create more clones.

Of course, this will consume the energy of the Qionghua Huo clone, which cannot be replenished, as it belongs to the joy power of Huo.

Since there aren't many to begin with, we might as well use them all at once and have some fun with fireworks.

Just like now, the smile and pretense on Hanabi's face disappeared completely. She stared at Sora Hanabi, whose cherry blossom eyes were shining brightly and whose lips were filled with an excited smile, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the small pink pistol.

Qiong Huahuo let him grab the gun grip, while simultaneously gripping Huahuo's hands and the gun with both of his own.

Pointing the gun at her temple, Qionghua asked with a smile:

What is pleasure?

Fireworks remained silent, as silent as Master Tang, who, after watching his wife die, held her and wept bitterly, even reciting his own lines.

She looked at the gray-haired youth standing aside, enjoying the one-man show, with a complicated expression.

"I am joy!!!"

A surge of madness, tearing the world apart, accompanied by hysterical laughter, erupted as Qionghua pulled the trigger.

With a bang, the bullet struck her between the eyebrows, spraying out colorful lines and confetti like a firework, but it passed right through her.

The two clones of Hanabi controlled by Qiong, as well as the pink pistol in Hanabi's main body, all disappeared like illusions.

"Honey~ Why are you only taking this much? I haven't had enough fun yet!"
