Honkai: It’s broken, I have become the Herrscher of Corrosion?

Outside Yae Village, the grass is lush, the petals are colorful, and a small river flows slowly.

The cherry blossoms on both sides of the river are in full bloom. When a breeze blows, the cherry blossoms fall into the river and dye the water pink.

A small boat was floating on the river. On the boat, Yaezakura held up a long pole to control the boat's progress. Yaezakura and Kallen were leaning lazily on the side of the boat, hearing the crisp chirping of birds and feeling the warm breeze on their cheeks. It was so comfortable.

Yae Rin looked at Kallen, then at her sister, and felt the awkward atmosphere. She wondered if she shouldn't be here.

As if noticing Yae Rin's embarrassed expression, Kallen and Yae Sakura began to take the initiative to talk to Yae Rin.

"That's Sister Karen, since you and my sister already have that kind of relationship, should I call you..." Yae Rin said halfway when she seemed to have discovered something wrong.

Brother-in-law? But first of all, she is a woman, and... through observing their married life, my sister seems to be relatively more assertive and proactive.

Then...sister-in-law? Wait, this seems even weirder.

"Rin, don't worry about such things. Since Karen and I already have that kind of relationship, then she is naturally your sister, just like me."

Yaezakura put the long wormwood aside, sat next to Kallen, and let the boat drift with the wind.

Yae Rin looked at Kallen and nodded seriously.

The three of them continued to talk and laugh, and soon the sun rose overhead.

"By the way, it's getting late. As we agreed before, Sakura will come and teach me how to make rice balls."

Seeing Kallen eager to try, Yaezakura smiled slightly and opened the wooden barrel beside her. The aroma of rice immediately filled the boat.

"The ingredients for the rice balls are all here, we can start now...Rin, you can come too."

"Yeah." Yae Rin and Kallen followed Yae Sakura's actions, put their hands into the river water and gently stroked them, letting the cool river water moisten their palms.

"Get your hands wet, grab some salt, and rub your hands together like this."

Yaezakura opened the salt shaker, put a spoonful of salt in the palm of her hand, and rubbed it carefully as if washing her hands.

"Take an appropriate amount of rice, then dig a hole in it and put a sour plum in it. The rice ball can be made into any flavor you like, such as tuna and green onion, salmon and sesame, and today I made the simplest salted sour plum.

"That's it, I understand."

Hearing Kallen's powerful words, Yae Rin couldn't help but glance in her direction, then her eyes widened.

If the ball in her and her sister's hands was a ball of rice, then the ball in Kallen's hand was several times bigger than the sum of the two. She held it in front of her chest, and the top almost touched her chin.

"Um...Karen, it seems you put a little too much rice."

"Because I also want to eat the huge rice ball that Sakura gave me before."

Seeing Kallen's excited face, Yaezakura's eyebrows showed a look of worry.

"It might be a little difficult for you to do it for the first time, how about I help you to make it into a triangle."

When Kallen heard this, she frowned slightly, pouted her lips, and muttered very confidently:

"No, just follow Sakura and I'm sure I'll learn it."

Seeing Kallen like this, Yae Rin covered her mouth with her sleeves and laughed secretly:

"Sister Karen is so cute. No wonder my sister likes her so much. If Sister Karen acted like a spoiled child around me every day, they would both be very happy."

Yae Rin imagined the scene of Kallen acting coquettishly in Yae Sakura's arms, and the smile on her face became brighter.

Yaezakura had no choice but to continue teaching Kallen:

"Hold the rice ball with your left hand, and use your right hand to turn it and pinch it into a full triangle. Be careful not to use too much force, otherwise the rice ball will become hard."

After kneading the double-sakura, take out a rectangular piece of nori and place the triangular rice ball in the center of the nori.

"Like this, roll it up from both sides and wrap it up, and the sour plum rice ball is ready."

After the teaching, it was time to test the results of the study. Yae Sakura first looked at Yae Rin. Because her hands were smaller, she grabbed less rice than herself. The final result was no different except that it was smaller than hers.

"Well, Karen's pinching is pretty good too."

Looking at her sister's genuine smile, Yae Rin turned her head and then understood what it meant to lie with open eyes.

Kallen didn't pinch it at all, but just used many pieces of nori to completely wrap the huge rice ball. If you didn't know, you would think it was a nori-colored bowling ball.

"Ah, this is the first rice ball that Kallen made. It must be delicious."

Whether it tastes good or not, it's up to Sakura to decide."

After Kallen finished speaking, she placed the bowling ball... no, the rice ball, in Sakura's hands. Before Yae Sakura could say anything, she picked up the rice ball that Yae Sakura had made and ate it in one bite.

The weight of the rice ball made her stomach feel at ease. For the first time, Yaezakura felt that a rice ball could be something heavy.

Kallen licked her fingers and said in surprise:

"Hey, this rice ball is still warm. I thought it would get cold right away."

Two blushes appeared on Yaesakura's cheeks. She put the rice ball she had just bitten aside, gently pressed her right hand on Kallen's left hand, and moved closer to her. Her mouth stopped only a few centimeters away from her ear, and whispered softly:

"Well... that's because when you make the rice ball, it also takes on... the warmth of your palm."

The hot air exhaled by Yaezakura blew on Kallen's ears, and a tingling sensation immediately spread throughout her body. Kallen's face suddenly became redder than Yaezakura in front of her.

Seeing Kallen's shy expression, Yaezakura left her body with satisfaction. However, something gave Kallen courage, and when Yaezakura retreated, she rushed forward, kissed her fiercely on the lips, and pressed her under her body.

"!!!"

Yae Rin, who was standing nearby, had just finished eating her rice ball when she saw this scene. She immediately covered her eyes with both hands. But after hesitating for only a second, she separated her middle and ring fingers and secretly observed the two of them through her fingers.

However, Kallen, who had just achieved a temporary victory, was quickly pushed back by Yae Sakura. It seemed that she realized that Yae Rin was still here. Before the action developed to 18+, the two stopped tacitly.

"Hmph!" Kallen snorted softly, then rested her head on Yae Sakura's shoulder and closed her eyes. Yae Sakura had no intention of continuing to make trouble with her, so she hugged her and slowly closed her eyes.

The two leaned against each other and gradually fell asleep. Yae Rin was very sensible and did not disturb them. Instead, she picked up the long pole at the stern and steered the boat away.

(The next volume will be about returning to the paradise to do some work, and the overall story will be more relaxed and joyful. I originally wanted this volume to be more dramatic, but unfortunately it did not go as planned. Firstly, it is my personal level problem, and secondly, if Feiyuwan does not get any enhancements or the protagonist is unexpectedly weakened, as a complete Herrscher of Corrosion, fighting Feiyuwan, a Herrscher of Corrosion with various debuffs, and the fight is thrilling, it will make the protagonist seem too weak.)

(K423 will appear in the next volume. Why Xilin didn't die and she can still live, don't worry. You can also tell me here if you have any plot you want to see. I just thought of an outline of what to write later. When I really started writing, I was actually driving and repairing the car at the same time. Maybe your ideas can provide me with new ideas.)
