Chapter companion

At this moment in the town,

Rin, Sirin, and Bella, while playing,

ran into Mio’s Ester,

who then took them to a sushi restaurant.

After arriving at the restaurant,

Sirin and Bella looked around here and there,

while Ester ordered two servings of sushi for the two of them.

However, Rin didn’t want to eat,

and told Ester in advance.

“This is the newest sushi, you guys try it.”

Bella looked at the fish slice sushi,

and put it directly into her mouth to eat.

“…Hmm? …So delicious!”

Seeing Bella say it was delicious,

Sirin also started eating.

“I’ll try some too.”

After eating, Sirin was also amazed,

she didn’t expect it to be so delicious!

Then she took another piece.

“This is too good!”

Rin next to them casually took one too,

although it was on Bella’s plate,

Bella didn’t mind at all.

“So it’s snapper… Ester, how did you know about this restaurant?”

“I like to eat delicious food, so I remember many good restaurants nearby,

and Elu’s telepathy let me bring you here to eat.”

“Thanks, I didn’t know which place to go to eat with them.”

“No problem. According to Mio’s memory, the two of them are Beibeilong and Fugu, right?”

Rin almost burst out laughing.

But Bella pressed a finger against Ester’s forehead.

“Say I’m fine, but don’t call the queen ‘Fugu’.

Otherwise, that electric buzzing sound is quite nice.”

“Enough, Bella.”

Sirin said softly.

“Yes.”

Although Sirin didn’t mind what Ester said,

she was more concerned about how to live in Rin’s world.

After eating, Sirin showed a happy expression.

“The taste is really good, Rin, your world must have even more delicious food, right?”

“Yes, also can I keep calling you Queen?

After all, Bella is here, and you’re still Honkai 3 Sirin in my mind.”

“Won’t you be seen as strange in your world?”

Rin smiled a little.

“I can say you’re our student council queen!

Plus Bella and I belong to… What’s up? …”

“What’s wrong?”

“Sorry, Elu’s telepathy says Mio and the others arrived,

and with a strange girl.”

“Strange girl?”

“My mom’s sworn sister, and she brought a lot of dragon meat dishes.”

“Dragon, like dinosaurs in history books?”

“Don’t know that, let’s go over first!”

“Okay!”

Sirin conjured a portal out of thin air,

and after everyone arrived at the house,

they found a large table in the hall,

covered with all kinds of dishes—

grilled, braised, steamed, fried, everything.

Maple Leiyin looked at Rin,

took a small plate and walked over,

with a few toothpicks stuck in it.

“Try these specially made dragon meat slices.”

“Dragon meat?”

“This is a dragon from my world,

just enough for your number.”

“Thanks! I’ll try a bite first.”

Rin just put a piece of meat in her mouth and chewed,

her expression instantly stunned.

“This… this… is way too delicious!

The taste and cooking are perfect.”

“Of course! You three next to me also try some!”

Sirin, Bella, and Ester each took a slice and ate,

also showing stunned expressions.

“So good!”

“Really delicious.”

“A taste I’ve never tried before.”

Maple Leiyin smiled and said, “Good if you like it.”

Then she also went to the table to start eating.

At this moment, Alexander walked to Rin’s side

and looked at Sirin and Bella.

“So the queen you mentioned is Sirin.”

“Yes, I’m on the Executor’s destruction faction. Much stronger than your reset world!”

“Reset world is better than destruction, right?

Rin, you’re so powerful now, what are your plans?”

“Accompany the queen in their daily life,

and I’ll occasionally find some fun for myself.”

“In the original world, you’ll likely fight delinquents,

because you carry a lot of evil energy.”

“Something like that.

I’ll tell you something—my evil energy can infect others,

making any living creature lose reason and attack frantically,

but a heavy blow can wake them up.

Not sure if it works on gods or elves like you.”

“Does it work on stronger opponents?”

“Don’t know\…”

Rin leaned close to Alexander’s ear and whispered,

“Please try to invent more moves,

I fought Maple before, her power is like night and day compared to me,

and she can read minds, so please develop a way to block mind reading first.”

“That’s a bit troublesome, mind reading has types.

Here’s a suggestion: if your opponent can read minds,

then your attacks must be so fast that even if they hear them,

they can’t dodge in time.”

“You’re right, but Elu, Liel, and Maple have monster-level strength,

I’m powerless against them.”

“Why suddenly say that?”

Maple Leiyin popped out suddenly.

“It’s because Maple’s mind reading scared me a bit about privacy, so I made defenses.”

“Don’t worry, I just play around, I don’t really peek at your privacy.”

“Sigh… for the sake of delicious dragon meat, I won’t mind.”

“The taste is good because there are seasonings your original world doesn’t have,

and it’s nutritious too.”

“Taste depends on the cook.

When I master cooking, I’ll personally cook for the queen!”

“Queen?”

“You mean me.”

“You two look about the same age, your name is…”

“Sirin, and that’s my friend Bella.”

“Hello.”

“Hello, you two look like cute girls,

and I sense your power is higher than most here,

except Eve, Anyue, and Elu.

Either of you could fight everyone here alone.

Of course, excluding me.”

Alexander swallowed.

(Definitely better to develop more moves, no chance in a head-on fight.)

“After all, that god strengthened me and the queen,

and I’m grateful Rin asked the god to create us.”

“Reminds me I once created some races myself.

Not strong, but friendly.”

“I’m curious, can you tell me about them?”

“Do you know fairies?”

“Fairies?”

Bella, still thinking like a Honkai Beast,

didn’t quite understand the meaning of fairies.

Though she had Mio’s memories,

her brain still struggled to keep up.

But Sirin smiled.

“Bella, when I made you human,

it was a similar method, giving you human form and intelligence.”

“I see.”

“Though I don’t know exactly what method you mean,

basically I can grant animals intelligence and human form.

Especially cats! Cat-eared and cat-tailed human girls are really cute.”

“Amazing!”

“High-level magicians can do this too.

I’ll teach you later.

Plants are more complicated than animals.

I once turned into a potato, just for fun.

Gave it fries to eat, and it actually got addicted.”

“Potato spirit.”

Rin teased.

“Your mom teased the same.

By the way, spoiler alert,

Eve magically renovated your old house,

all furniture and appliances are new.”

“No need to say, I asked for that.”

“Looks like your friend did well.

By the way, I saw some things in your computer too.

Didn’t expect such hobbies.”

Rin instantly blushed.

“Dummy… dummy, that’s Mio’s!

Besides, it’s not my body controlling it…”

Rin glanced nervously at Mio across the table,

feeling completely flustered.

(That idiot, no password on those videos!

Although Shizuku has some, when I return to the original world,

I’ll handle it thoroughly… Wait, these people have magic or powers!

Will a password help? It’s hopeless!)

“Also, computers hold personal privacy.

Without permission, spying is a bad habit, you know.”

“Hm? Isn’t that magical girl Illya?

I quite like watching that.

Are you talking about something else?”

“Eh? …Good you like it,

I thought adults wouldn’t like anime and find it childish.”

“Not at all, I’m an anime fan.”

“Then ask Anyue to buy you a big hard drive later.

I’ll download lots of good anime for you.”

(Scared me, but I have to be careful,

don’t know if she uses mind reading.)

“Thanks!”

Knock knock knock.

Someone knocked at the door.

Eve went to open it and found Liya standing there.

“Why the fusion again?”

“Fusion’s fine, I’m here to collect cells, and find Rin.”

“Come in, Alexander told everyone about cell collection.”

But Liya smelled delicious meat when entering.

“What are you eating? Smells really good.”

“Maple brought dragon meat, super delicious, try it!”

“Okay, I was just about to eat.”

After a while, Liya finished eating and collecting cells,

and Rin was very happy to be granted the Executor power she wanted before.

“Thanks, Liya! This feels amazing.”

“Yes, Mio is the Elf Queen, you’re the Executor.

With Sirin and Bella, you won’t lose to Mio’s side.”

“Yes, but I won’t rely too much on Executor powers,

I still prefer to fight with fists or my own skills.”

“Rin!”

Mio came over.

“Hmm?”

“Want to spar with us? I want to fusion play with Shizuku.”

“Can another day? Not interested now.”

“Okay.”

But actually Rin couldn’t bring herself to fight,

one is herself,

one is her sister,

making it impossible to be cruel.

“Liya, later bring me, Sirin, and Bella back to the original world.

I want to find Noker and play.”

“Got it, so now only you three live in the old house?”

“Our old house isn’t suitable for many people, three is already good.

Also, please pack some dragon meat for Noker, since we know each other.”

(Being a little follower isn’t bad.)

“Small problem. But guess when Sirin is from?”

“When we first met, she was queen style, then purple hair…

Could it be…”

“No need to guess, it’s from the second Honkai collapse,

but I also gave her queen’s memories,

and she can freely switch to her original body.”

It turns out to be like this, I thought I was the White-Haired Queen.

Calling me?

Xilin looked puzzled.

Just discussing about the Queen, also, Queen, do you want to have a midnight snack after 10 PM?

Sure, what are we eating?

KFC fries, plus a half chicken half shrimp burger and creamy milk tea.

Sounds good, then let’s go buy it together with Bella later.

Yes, Your Majesty.

At 9 o’clock, Rin and the others returned to the old house in the original world, while Liya said she still wanted to go out and play and took her leave.

But Xilin looked around the house and then pointed at the living room TV and asked, “Are there any good shows?”

But Rin sighed lightly.

“Sorry, Your Majesty. My sister and I usually use the TV just for game consoles, and now we watch series on the computer, so the TV hasn’t been paid for.”

“No problem, but I want to ask which room Bella and I will sleep in?”

“Any room Your Majesty prefers is fine, but I need to check the cleanliness of some rooms, since I’m not sure if Xiao An used magic to clean them thoroughly.”

(But future expenses should be asked from Anya and the others.)

“No need to trouble so much. After all, I have memories of another you, although they haven’t lived in this house for a long time, I don’t mind a bit of dirt… right, Bella?”

“That’s right.”

“Alright. Also, I will teleport to deliver dragon meat to Noke’er first, will be back soon.”

“Okay.”

After Rin left, Xilin went to the window and looked outside, feeling especially happy.

“I say Bella, these two days please come with us to the street to stroll around! I also want to get familiar with normal people’s lives.”

“Yes, but Queen, do you really intend to live with humans?”

Xilin nodded and said “Hmm.”

“Don’t forget, we were just lives created by gods. The past memories are basically false. When the gods created us, that was when life truly began, we only have personality and memories.”

“Queen is right, but Rin probably simply likes us and asked the gods to create us, right?”

“Possibly! And I feel a sisterly bond with Rin, and of course with Bella too.”

“……”

“Don’t worry too much. More importantly, we should get familiar with this house’s places, and living together now is safer.”

“I understand.”

“Alright, then let’s check the kitchen first!”

Because Xilin recalled the wish she made when on the brink of collapse the second time. If she were an ordinary person, could she live a happy life? Although she wanted to see Cecilia, for now Xilin felt this was enough.

Meanwhile, Rin was playing PS4 with Noke’er at Noke’er’s house, but Rin completely crushed Noke’er in the game.

“No way! You’re so good at Street Fighter 5!”

“Of course, when Mio plays game consoles, I watch and learn too. Although I don’t control the body, don’t underestimate me.”

“Is your sister Shizuku also this good?”

“She’s above both me and little Mio, whether in real fighting or games.”

Hearing this, Noke’er couldn’t help but smile.

“I wish I had a biological sister too. It’s nice to have someone to accompany you.”

“Yeah, by the way, do you know any troublemakers? I want to find some people to pass time with.”

“Be careful of Mio scolding you.”

“I don’t care, my nature is evil, plus my desire for destruction and torment is always high.”

“Sounds like a crazy chuunibyou. But with your strength, who can fight you? Fighting would be pointless.”

“As I said, I also enjoy tormenting others. Especially in the mental space!”

“Mental space?”

“Simply put, grabbing your head and releasing evil energy makes you faint, but in the mental space it’s very enjoyable.”

“Tell me more.”

“One second in real life equals 60 minutes inside. It won’t kill, but the pain is the same as outside. Imagine being stabbed in the stomach, or thrown into a hot oil pot.”

“Really?”

“I can show you how now if you want.”

“No thanks. But how do you have this ability?”

“Don’t know, must ask my mom, but she’s gone now. I have to use this power to protect my sister and the Queen. Anyone who dares to bully me won’t go unpunished!”

“Queen?”

“The one from Honkai Impact 3, now at my home with Bella.”

“Awesome, I wish I could meet some god-level people too. Can you take me to meet her? I’m a big fan of the Queen!”

“Sure! Also, do you want to be my little follower? As long as you behave, you’ll get benefits.”

“Of course! After all, it was thanks to you being my sister-in-law that I was saved.”

“Good, but remember we are in the Queen’s faction, Mio’s group belongs to the Elf King’s faction, and Lier’s to the gods’ faction.”

“Okay, I got it. But why are there factions?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. Let’s stop playing for now. I’ll teleport you to the Queen.”

“Okay, by the way, do you know what the Queen likes to eat?”

“Not sure yet, probably anything tasty?”

“When we get there I’ll ask. I know a good sushi place and have coupons — half price for four people, I’ll treat you.”

“Thanks.”

Then Rin teleported Noke’er back home.

“I’m back!”

Xilin heard the voice and ran out from the kitchen.

“Hm? You’re with Noke’er, right? According to Mio’s memories, you just reconciled.”

“It’s Noke’er. Also, nice to meet you Queen! I’m your loyal fan.”

Xilin smiled.

“Looks like I’m quite popular. Want to hang out with us often?”

“Sure, Queen, do you like sushi? I know a good place. How about the four of us go there at 10 tomorrow?”

“If it’s good, I have no objection.”

But Rin noticed Bella was missing.

“Queen, where is Bella?”

“Well, the god gave Bella and me some money to experience society a bit. Bella said she went to the convenience store to buy some drinks.”

“I remember the convenience store is quite far. Hopefully she won’t get lost?”

“Don’t worry! Bella and I have Mio’s memories. The roads and environment are no problem for us.”

“That’s good…”

“I’m back!”

Liya suddenly appeared.

“Weren’t you guys about to leave?”

Liya gave a cheeky smile.

“I went to erase all human memories, including your relatives’.”

“What memories?”

“First, Mio’s car accident memory. Using godly powers, I completely erased those who knew about the accident, plus my government agents altered the news so it never happened. No records anywhere.”

“That’s a relief…”

“Not done yet. I changed your relatives’ memories to believe you live in a high-end neighborhood, with a three-bedroom apartment. I also have a house there, three bedrooms as well, and will give it to you so you can live well. Also, all relatives remember you as quadruplets.”

“Quadruplets?”

“Mio is the eldest, you’re second, Shizuku third, and Yue Mio fourth.”

“Sounds good, but what about the old house here?”

“Don’t worry, with my status, selling it is easy. Also, the house will be demolished in a few months.”

“Where is the new neighborhood?”

“About two kilometers away, the Maple Leaf neighborhood. I arranged everything inside the house. Don’t worry, if you want to move old stuff, just tell me, I can use magic to transfer.”

“When will the move happen?”

“Whenever you want, now or tomorrow. It’s already renovated, and internet is set up.”

“Are gods all rich?”

Liya scoffed.

“When you get my level and power, you’ll understand. Wherever you are, things like this are easy. Don’t judge gods by human knowledge — well, except for some minor gods. Just pretend I never said that.”

“Alright! I need to tell my sister about moving.”

“Don’t worry! By the way, is there anything to drink in the fridge? Talking so much made me thirsty.”

“I’ll check…”

“No need Rin, the fridge is empty. Bella and I checked after you left.”

Hearing that, Liya sighed.

“Since we’re free anyway, turning back would be boring. Let’s go outside for a walk. I told Bella, I can sense where she is.”

“Okay.”

“By the way, did she change clothes before going out?”

“Yes, the school uniform from Chiyu Academy. I specifically transformed to show her first.”

“That’s good. Those battle clothes look weird unless it’s a cosplay convention.”

“But I think it’s fine.”

Rin put hands on hips and said.

“Can’t use your standards, you’re a Xilin fan. Anyway, let’s go, help you buy phones. Noke’er, do you want one?”

“Of course!”

“If so, let’s go! After buying your stuff, I’ll go sleep.”

“Do gods need to sleep?”

“Not really, including me and my daughters. We follow human biological clocks — sleep when tired, don’t when not. The sleepiness comes naturally due to habit.”

“I see, I’ll note that down.”

“You take notes? Then write more, it’s my advice.”

“Advice?”

“Don’t underestimate any god, whether the weakest or demigod. If your body contains godly energy, underestimating it will bring trouble, especially for arrogant humans.”

“Sounds a bit scary.”

“Just remember that. Enough talk, let’s go!”

Afterwards, they all went to Bella’s place. Liya saw many bottles of cola in Bella’s shopping bag and drank one with a gulp.

“Refreshing! Noke’er, want a Xiaomi 11 too?”

“Sure, but I heard Xiaomi 11 overheats.”

“No worries, I can handle that with a bit of godly power. By the way, what phone does your sister-in-law Hua use?”

“She uses Xiaomi 9, budget reasons don’t buy expensive ones.”

“Then I count her in. I’m in a good mood, will buy for you all.”

“Thanks.”

“No problem.”

(Anyway, it’s a small thing. Compared to what Xiao An wanted — the God of the Underworld throne — the house and other gifts are like a piece of bread.)

After a while, a few people arrived at a large mobile phone store, and Liya bought 16 Xiaomi 11 top models from the clerk, while Rin was curious.

“Bought so many.”

“A few are gifts, Sirin Bella, you guys go back and play with your own phones. Anyway, with Mio’s memory, you’ll get familiar quickly. Don’t ask Rin.”

“No problem. I’ll also start registering my account when I get back today, and mine will be more perfect than little Mio’s.”

“Me too. Bella, you have to work hard as well.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Noke smiled.

“Your Majesty, remember to add me as a friend when you play games. I have many good characters, especially in Honkai Impact 3, there’s the SSS rank queen.”

“Okay, I’ll get familiar with it anyway. Rin, let’s go get something to eat next.”

“Alright.”

When everyone was close to the burger shop, Liya looked up at the sky.

“You all hurry up, it’s going to rain heavily in 19 minutes.”

“How do you know?”

“God’s weather forecast is very accurate, plus after eating with you all, I’ll go back…”

But as soon as she finished speaking, it started to drizzle. Everyone stared at Liya.

“……”

“Don’t look at me like that, the weather is unpredictable.”

But Rin didn’t want Sirin to be disappointed, so she used the power of the Spirit King to stop the rain.

“All done.”

“The power of the Spirit King, huh.”

“The Spirit King can control elements. Although my water element isn’t as strong as the Water Spirit King’s, stopping rain in this area is easy.”

Liya smiled instead.

“Nice power, maybe it can counter magic. Anyway, the burger shop is almost here.”

“Yeah… Your Majesty, do you want some mashed potatoes?”

“Mashed potatoes? Are they tasty?”

“Of course, as long as Your Majesty and Bella like it, we can have it every day.”

“Hehe, don’t forget who’s paying.”

When Liya said that, Rin thought it was true.

“Sorry, I’m just used to the Sword Dance world.”

“Just kidding, my two daughters are also used to getting free stuff.”

“After all, you’re a god. Speaking of gods, Liya, are we considered newcomers who just entered the domain of gods?”

“The domain of gods? Xiao Anyue is more of a newcomer.”

“Oh, isn’t Anyue’s power very strong?”

“Let’s talk while walking.”

“Alright.”

“The divine domain is not just about power, perception is also important. Xiao Anyue’s perception is average.”

“I see.”

“For you guys, living daily life is fine. The divine domain is still too early for you.”

“I originally referred to Dragon Ball Super’s Super Saiyan Blue divine domain, but later the domain of Ultra Instinct is even stronger.”

“Ultra Instinct… we have that too.”

Rin was surprised.

“Really!?”

“Really, although it can dodge automatically… but the strength gap between both sides is too huge. Even if you can sense danger early and move your body, you can’t keep up with their speed.”

“I want to learn.”

“You can ask Xiao Anyue later. She took 98 years to master it. Besides, what you lack is not just combat skills but also battle experience. This isn’t something that power alone can solve.”

“Then I’ll give up.”

“Wise choice.”

(Actually, I trained for 968 years on this too. Xiao Anyue came up with it herself.)

Three minutes later, they arrived at the burger shop. Sirin looked at the menu, not knowing what to eat.

“Rin, you help me choose.”

“Alright, Your Majesty. Bella too?”

“Hmm.”

Rin looked carefully, then decided.

“Waiter, I want two original crispy chicken, one chicken nugget, one egg tart, one mashed potatoes, one milk tea, and a crispy chicken thigh burger. These items, each of my four friends behind me will get the same set.”

“Okay.”

Then Liya paid but swapped her milk tea for cola and packed it herself.

“You’re not eating here?”

“No, I’ll take my leave first.”

“Okay, goodbye.”

“Bye, see you at 2 PM tomorrow afternoon. In the morning, I’ll still add stuff to the villa where Mio is sent. Noke, your computer is also coming tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

After Liya left, everyone took a corner seat and began to eat.

During eating, Rin noticed Bella and Sirin really enjoyed the food, and Sirin finished a burger in less than a minute.

“This burger tastes really good!”

“Your Majesty, you and Bella quite like this food.”

“Of course, the taste is so good, I could eat it every day.”

“You’ll get tired of it. Bella, what do you think?”

“I agree with Your Majesty, especially the original chicken and milk tea.”

“I’ll be busy these days, but first I’ll take you to eat good food. Noke, do you have any recommended good restaurants?”

“Mainly anything tasty, I like fried rice, eel fried rice is my favorite.”

“What does eel taste like? I don’t think Mio ever tried it.”

“It’s a bit complicated, if you want to eat it, I’ll treat you another day.”

“As long as it’s tasty, I have no objection.”

“I’ve eaten this before.”

Sirin suddenly said.

“I don’t remember Your Majesty eating it in the manga?”

“Manga is manga, but I remember eating it with my mother when I was little. Eel is also very suitable for mixing with rice, with soup.”

“The more I hear, the more I want to eat.”

“The sushi shop has eel sushi, eel mixed rice, and fried rice. Tomorrow when I take you and Your Majesty there, I’ll buy some.”

“Thanks!”

“No problem, but I still prefer mandarin fish.”

Noke liked mandarin fish more than eel because it had almost no small bones.

After some time, everyone finished eating. After saying goodbye to Noke, they all returned home.

On a deserted small path, Sirin looked very happy.

“So things in this world taste so good. I guess it will take me many years to try everything.”

“Your Majesty, I don’t think you can eat it all. After all, human culinary culture is always advancing, and new tasty food keeps coming out.”

“That’s true, but I also want to control myself a bit.”

“Why?”

“To be honest, I want an ordinary person’s life, just normal is fine. No need to eat so well every day.”

“Saying that, it seems different from a certain paramecium’s thoughts.”

“You mean Kiana?”

“Yes, she likes hotpot in class, steals food, skips class. But she also inherits your kind will, Your Majesty. I tend to be the Voidwalker. That queenly manner is really majestic.”

At this, Sirin stopped walking.

“If I appear in front of those two, I should be able to handle some matters, after all, I am the true original body.”

“But to that white-haired queen, the pain of the Tower of Babylon and the loss of friends back then are eternal scars. Plus, the humanoid Bella there disappeared, leaving only dragon-form Bellarus. Although instinctively it still helps the queen… no, Bella was killed by the god tree’s subordinates, and then Meiyi turned the corpse into Kurikara.”

Bella beside recalled Mio’s game memory and sighed.

“I’m already battered and almost powerless. But if it were me now, I’d swat it like a mosquito!”

“Anyway, it’s all game plot, don’t take it too seriously. When we go back, I’ll update the games on my computer. Many games haven’t been updated for a long time.”

“Rin, according to my memory, Mio only defeated the Ice Walker, right?”

“Yes, although I still remember the Recognition Walker, but I haven’t had time to play. Also, Your Majesty, since no one is home now, why not use a teleport portal directly to home?”

“Good idea, then you update the computer first. When updating, we can take a shower. I haven’t showered in a long time.”

“But Your Majesty, you were just born.”

Although feeling that made sense, they didn’t care.

“It doesn’t matter. Also, I don’t know how to use your shower head, please help us with that. And help me rub my back with the shower gel.”

“Gladly.”

(Wow! Direct contact with the queen’s skin, just thinking about it makes me happy. And there’s also a Bella, really a good deal!)

Afterwards, everyone used the teleport portal to go home. Rin opened the computer and found an extra 6TB SSD.

“Weird, I don’t remember Mio buying this. Anyway, better update the games first.”

While updating, Sirin came over again.

“Looks like a lot of games. Rin, do you know where the pajamas are?”

“In the wardrobe. Little Mio mostly sleeps in just underwear and a vest, sometimes nothing. Anyway, the doors and windows are closed.”

“I’ll check the wardrobe then. But the underwear is yours and your sisters’, is that okay?”

“It’s fine. When Lin used to stay at my house long-term, she also used our underwear. Since we’re as close as sisters, we don’t mind.”

“No problem then. Bella and I will go to the bathroom first.”

“Okay, I’ll come soon.”

(But the bathtub is just the right size for two and a half people. I’ll wait until they finish soaking.)

In the bathroom, after taking off their clothes, the three stood in front of the bathtub, and Rin started to fill water.

“Your Majesty, please wait a moment, it’ll be ready soon.”

“No problem, but I saw two bottles of shampoo. Which one should we use?”

“One is for dandruff and itch relief, the other for moisturizing hair. Mio used the anti-dandruff one once a week. Although she showers every two or three days, usually she uses the moisturizing one.”

“I see, then Bella and I will use the moisturizing one.”

“Your Majesty, whatever makes you happy.”

“Thank you.”

But Rin kept glancing at Sirin and Bella’s bodies, and they didn’t notice at all.

(Indeed, the queen’s body looks way better than fan art. Except for rubbing the back, I really want to touch… Got it!)

“Your Majesty, after we finish washing, you and Bella lie down on the bed, I’ll give you both a full-body massage. It’s good for sleep.”

“Sounds good. I haven’t slept in a bed for a long time, and Bella’s sleeping in a bed for the first time too.”

“Right.”

“Okay, after washing, I’ll turn on the air conditioning in the room, set to about 27 degrees with comfortable airflow. That way sleeping won’t be too cold or hot.”

When the bathtub was full, Sirin and Bella got into the water, looking very relaxed.

“The water temperature is so comfortable.”

“Yeah, too bad it’s a bit small. It won’t fit all three of us soaking together.”

“No problem, when we move to the new neighborhood, the tubs there will be a bit bigger.”

(Speaking of baths, I really want to soak in a hot spring.)

After a while, Rin picked up a bottle of body wash but noticed it was half empty.

“Strange, why is so much missing? Mio bought this the day before her accident, right? And Shizuku doesn’t use it either. Could it be…”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, it’s just that this bottle is inexplicably half empty. Queen, what body wash do you like to use?”

“This… I’m not really sure.”

Rin looked at the bottle in her hand.

“Refreshing body wash… Next time, no more Liushen, I’ll just use Safeguard.”

After Xilin got out of the water, she also used some body wash and it smelled pretty good.

“Rin, please help me wash my back too.”

“Gladly.”

Rin was especially excited while washing.

(Wow, the Queen’s skin is so tender, I wonder if I can keep my skin as good as hers.)

“Rin, I suddenly thought of something.”

“Hm?”

“I wonder if I can ask that god who created the Honkai 3 world, I want to play with them. Also, to bring along the version of me that carries the Will of the Void.”

“Wouldn’t it be easier just to give some memories?”

“That wouldn’t be interesting, plus, besides me, your Queen’s other self is her.”

“Sounds about right, but do you mean the main story or the event with the Spring Spirit?”

“Of course the main story. By the way, when do you think would be a good time for me to appear?”

“The Lament of the Sinner arc, when Bela was still alive. I quite like Bela, after all.”

“…”

Bela, who was in the bathtub, froze for a moment.

“I’ll spend these few days getting familiar with the game. And I’ve come up with some phrases too.”

“Like talking with the Will of the Void?”

“Exactly! I can say that from past to future, I will no longer follow the Will of Hatred, and that those who lost friends and family should be fully revived.”

“In that case, the friends lost at the Tower of Babylon could be resurrected and receive good compensation. But for human Bela, I’m not very familiar.”

“That’s fine. Also, when the god comes tomorrow, I need to ask if going to that world means being controlled by Honkai again.”

“Same here, because of my personality issues.”

“Bela.”

“Yes!”

“These days, you’ll help me get more familiar with many game storylines.”

“Understood, Queen!”

“By the way… Rin, how long are you going to keep washing?”

Hearing this, Rin realized she had been so busy chatting that she forgot to keep washing Xilin’s back.

“Sorry.”

“It’s okay, you were distracted chatting. Later, help Bela wash too.”

“Alright.”

Suddenly, the phone rang.

“Who would call at a time like this?”

Rin rinsed off, slipped on slippers, and walked out to answer.

“Hello.”

“It’s me, An Yue.”

“You’re in this world too?”

“No, I just used a little divine power on my phone. But you’re not wearing anything now, can we talk?”

“Hey! Are you watching me with a crystal ball?”

“Yeah, are you taking a bath?”

“Right, what do you want to call me for? If nothing important, I’ll keep bathing.”

“Not really, if you see my mom, tell her all computers use top-tier water cooling, and no need to worry about leaks; divine power can fix that.”

“Impressive. Also, pass on to Mio that our old house will be demolished soon. Your mom gave me a three-bedroom apartment, apparently in a high-end community. Also, tell Mio to keep the demolition money.”

“Got it. But I must warn you, besides me and Eve’s parents, don’t trust any gods. Because many gods in the heavenly realm treat life below as mere pawns, not really caring. Especially those talking about soul deals.”

“Okay. Besides, I have you guys backing me up, other gods probably won’t dare mess with us. If forced, I’ll just attack directly. After all, I’m not necessarily afraid of gods now.”

“Just remember that. I’m hanging up now.”

“Alright.”

(God, if we think about the God of War, Kratos hates gods for a reason. And I’m not stupid to not think things through.)

Back in the bathroom, Rin saw Xilin helping Bela wash with body wash.

“I’m back!”

“Who called?”

“An Yue. She asked me to tell her mom to set up the computer properly.”

“Also for gaming, right?”

“Just a cooler, to prevent overheating.”

Rin got into the tub and soaked.

“Do we need one too?”

“Some issues can be solved with divine power. Also, I need to teach the Queen about computers these days.”

“Thanks anyway, but I still don’t understand many things. Looking forward to your help.”

“No problem.”

After everyone finished washing, they went to a big room, and Xilin immediately flopped onto the bed.

“Bath done, just lying on the bed feels so good.”

“Yeah, later I’ll play some computer games and then sleep. I put the underwear and panties by the bed.”

“No massage?”

“I almost forgot. Want to start now?”

“Sure, just lie on the bed?”

“Of course. Queen, do you want to start with your front or back?”

“Start with the back, please.”

“Okay.”

Rin sat by the bed and gently massaged Xilin’s calves while Bela watched closely.

“Rin, what areas do you usually massage?”

“Back of the calves, back, shoulders. Front side: thighs, abdomen, chest, and arms—just press up and down.”

“So many places, it must feel good?”

“Definitely, but you have to control the pressure.”

“Got it.”

After a while, Xilin turned over, and Rin was happy to see her looking very relaxed.

“How’s the Queen feeling?”

“Pretty good, who taught you?”

“I learned it myself; there’s tons of info online.”

(Mio used to get leg cramps, so I learned massage later. I remember clearly. The Queen is also a bit clumsy, but still older than me.)

After some time, Xilin fell asleep comfortably, and Rin covered her with a blanket.

“Looks like the Queen is very satisfied. Bela, you want some too?”

“Maybe next time. But judging by the Queen’s face, it must feel really good.”

“Of course. I’ll turn on the AC. Let the Queen have a good sleep.”

(Since the Queen’s body hasn’t fully developed, she might not be very sensitive. But I’d love a massage too.)

After turning off the lights, Rin and Bela went to Shizuku’s room.

“Bela, how about putting on clothes and going out for a walk?”

“Where to?”

“To the big supermarket to buy some curry and vegetables. Tomorrow morning, I’ll cook curry rice for you guys.”

“Sounds delicious by the name.”

“Definitely. Also, buy some pork belly so I can make braised pork as a side dish.”

“Rin, you’re amazing! Can you teach me?”

“Of course! Watch when I cook tomorrow. If needed, I’ll take notes.”

“Thanks! I suddenly really want to cook something delicious for the Queen.”

“Me too, I’ll teach you everything.”

(Though braised pork and other side dishes aren’t hard, the toughest part is chopping onions.)

“Thanks, Rin. I’ll study hard.”

“No rush, but I’ll give you some practice, like cutting shredded potatoes. Newbies often cut them into strips by mistake. Mio and Shizuku spent a lot of time learning that.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be serious.”

“Good luck! To be safe, I’ll teach you to use the induction stove first. Gas stoves can be dangerous.”

“I understand.”

After changing clothes, they headed to the supermarket.
