I'm in Honkai: Star Rail, and the Players are Going Feral Over Me!

Reality

Sister Guoguo, who had been stuck on the main story due to her level being too low, woke up bright and early for the first time in ages. She picked up her long-unused gimbal and waved at the audience in her stream.

"Hello, hello? Can you see me?"

[We see you, we see you! When are we going for the massage? Are you going to livestream the massage?]

[You're really going to livestream a massage? I thought you were joking.]

[In that case, Tao Nai Youyou and Miss Lan Yu… hehehe.]

[Actually, Shiluoluo isn't a bad choice either, a beautiful girl artist… ehehehe.]

[Even Gorilla would work! Isn't he the king of shenanigans? Get him in on this!]

[Where's my Fidgety Hands? Where is my Fidgety Hands!]

"Ahem, ahem. We're going for a massage, not a team-building dinner. Why would we call so many people? Anyone who didn't know better would think we were on a company outing!"

Sister Guoguo waved her hand, trying to swat away the strange ideas brewing in her viewers' minds.

"However, I did call Tao Nai Youyou over for you all. How about it, are you excited?!"

[Awoooo! Excited! So damn excited!]

[Hehehe, my doggy… my doggy!]

[Shocking! Is it that streamer who used to wear a dog-sona but is actually a beautiful girl!?]

["Connections."]

[Massage Parlor Owner: "Don't you come near me!"]

"There's no time to lose, let's go meet up!"

With a horde of animals from her stream chat in tow, Sister Guoguo hopped into a taxi and headed toward a certain location in the Magic City.

"Let me just say, dragging me into reality in the middle of the night… Is this your idea of fun???"

Wende, sporting dark circles under his eyes, stared at the system panel floating before him, his tone dripping with resentment.

"It is fun." (Strikethrough)

"You definitely said 'it is fun,' didn't you? You absolutely did!"

The corner of Wende's mouth twitched. He had been in his warm bed, having a beautiful dream about a simple, happy life with a wife, kids, and a warm home!

"Ding… This system is the latest shop management system developed by President Bronya. It is a subsystem of the Star Rail system."

"So? What does that have to do with me?" Wende asked, his eyes as dead as a fish's.

"Because the other Mi-family characters still have their own roles to play, and you currently have the most free time on your schedule, President Bronya has asked you to work some overtime."

The system panel stated this as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"I refuse."

Wende declared righteously. Refusing overtime starts with you and me!

"You will be given special compensation."

"I love overtime!"

"Yo, morning."

Lan Yu waved and greeted Sister Guoguo, who was streaming with a gimbal not far away.

"Morning. By the way, where's Tao Nai?"

Sister Guoguo looked around but couldn't spot the familiar, charming figure.

"Oh, she went to buy some bread. She told us to wait for a bit."

Lan Yu held up her phone, showing Sister Guoguo her chat history with Tao Nai.

"Ah, okay, let's wait then. I wonder what this 'Wende Massage' place is all about."

"So, that's it?"

After listening to what the system wanted him to do, Wende couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"That's it."

The system panel replied flatly.

"You brought me all the way over here… just to have me run a massage parlor for one day?"

Wende crossed his arms over his chest.

"Don't you think there's something off about this?"

"It is perfectly on."

"I think it's off."

"I think it's perfectly on."

"What's the difference between this and a female knight being captured and taken to a goblin nest, only to have her weapon stolen?" Wende deadpanned.

"We wish you a pleasant experience in your one-day management of the massage parlor."

With that parting message, the light screen vanished.

"Sigh… born to toil… Just when I finished working on my own family, now I have to work on others…" Wende lamented with a sigh.

It seemed his range of movement was restricted to this massage parlor, and all his abilities had been locked…

Squeak…

Opening a box and seeing the gleaming stainless-steel needles inside, Wende breathed a sigh of relief.

No lightning needles, but stainless steel will have to do.

Meanwhile, the now-assembled trio of beautiful girls were each munching on a piece of bread as they walked toward the legendary Wende Massage Parlor.

"Brothers… chew, chew, chew… Today, I'm going to show you… gulp… show you what a real massage is!" Sister Guoguo said to her stream chat while gnawing on a pineapple bun.

"Can you please swallow before you speak?" Tao Nai retorted, looking at Sister Guoguo as if she'd never seen bread before.

"Hey, I heard you should eat something to line your stomach before a massage. And I happened to skip breakfast today," Sister Guoguo said, completely unconcerned.

A little embarrassment now was better than having the stomach acid massaged out of her later.

"Alright! We're here!"

She aimed the camera at the sign in front of them. The four large characters for "Wende Massage" appeared clearly in the stream.

[Holy crap, this place is real?]

[Later, can you help me ask the owner for his UID? I want to borrow his wife to play with!]

[NTR-fiend! Get lost!]

Seeing the door of the shop, which indicated it was open for business, Lan Yu was the first to push it open and walk inside.

In that instant, her eyes met with Wende's, who was still in the middle of changing into a white coat.

Wende: "?"

Lan Yu: "…"

The blue-haired older-sister type silently closed the door. The other two watched her retreating figure with complete confusion.

"What's wrong? Is there no one inside?" Sister Guoguo asked, perplexed.

"No…"

The blue-haired beauty, now with a nosebleed streaming down her face, slowly turned her head and said to her two horrified friends.

"It's a little… too stimulating in there…"

A while later, after wiping away the nosebleed, the blue-haired beauty led the other two back into the massage parlor.

Seeing Wende, who was now covered up from head to toe and even wearing a face mask, a clear look of disappointment flashed through Lan Yu's eyes.

"Are you three here for a massage? Please line up over there. We'll go one by one."

[This master seems really professional. He's covered himself up so thoroughly.]

[For some reason, I see a trace of kindness in him…]

[You're not the only one!]

[Looking at him, I suddenly feel a great sense of security…]

"Uh, yes! I'll go first!"

Lan Yu instantly shrugged off her jacket and eagerly laid down on the massage bed.

"Uhm…"

Wende glanced back at the other two.

"It's fine, we'll just wait here. Master, please, begin your performance!" Sister Guoguo said, giving Wende a thumbs-up.

"Alright…"

Wende shook his head. Looking at the impatient blue-haired woman, he sighed helplessly.

Are people in reality already this desperate?

He then began his massage.

"Ahhh~!"

Within the massage parlor, a series of indescribable sounds echoed intermittently.

Sister Guoguo and Tao Nai stared at the scene, mouths agape, completely unaware that their live stream had already been banned.
