Added to the Gacha as Rukkhadevata (Honkai Star Rail)

Perhaps because of the NSFW nature of the image, Lumina's latest post went viral at lightning speed—so fast, in fact, that she wondered if she'd wasted her money on promotion.

Ah, well, it's just pocket change.

As an incredibly wealthy woman, Lumina didn't dwell on it. Her gaze shifted to the comments section to gauge the reaction to the image.

[Holy shit, who's the artist behind this masterpiece? They're a legend!]

[Thank you, sensei! My dreams tonight are secured.]

[Why did you have to post this at night?! I was already wired from playing Honkai: Star Rail, and now this... there's no way I'm getting any sleep tonight.]

[Lumina... Heh heh... Lumina... Heh heh... Lumina... Heh heh...]

[Sensei, please, just one more! One more! I'm begging you! I'm begging you! (Twisting into a dark, anguished crawl.jpg)!!!]

"Hmm... looks like the reaction is pretty good," Lumina murmured, nodding in satisfaction as she scrolled through the chaotic comments section, filled with unhinged reactions.

Though no one had explicitly praised her artistic skill, the outrageous comments spoke volumes—her artwork must be truly exceptional.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be losing sleep over it, she thought with a mischievous grin.

Lumina zoomed in on the image, scrutinizing it closely. Outwardly calm, she still felt a faint flicker of unease. After all, drawing lewd art of oneself was undeniably avant-garde.

Despite her efforts to dismiss it, a sliver of self-consciousness lingered.

So!

When creating the piece, Lumina had deliberately held back, omitting the crucial spark of divinity, the true essence of her spirit.

This way, even if she stared at it endlessly, she would only see someone who resembled her, completely unable to connect the lewd image to herself.

Lumina pushed the thought aside and opened another post she had made about the SU event. Seeing that numerous users had already mentioned the event in the comments, she liked each of their messages before shutting down her computer.

"Hmm~"

Lumina stood up and stretched languidly.

"Time to put the computer away."

As soon as the words left her lips, the computer setup before her vanished instantly.

Satisfied, Lumina nodded.

With a light hop, she landed on her plush bed, pulled the covers over herself, and flashed a blissfully content smile.

"Time for bed~"

She set her phone aside and closed her eyes.

Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!

Barely a moment after closing her eyes, the ringtone for her "Special Group" started ringing on her phone.

If anyone else dared to wake her while she slept, Lumina would have been mildly annoyed. But if the disturber was a beautiful girl, well, that was a different story♪

Not only would Lumina not be angry, but she would happily pick up her phone, read the message carefully, and meticulously craft a reply.

March 7th: Sister Lumina! This Trailblaze journey is going so smoothly!

March 7th: We met Belobog's supreme leader! She promised to discuss solutions for the Stellaron with us tomorrow. If all goes well, we'll be able to seal it soon and save Jarilo-VI from the Stellaron crisis!

March 7th: Oh, Belobog is the only major faction left on Jarilo-VI.

March 7th: I took tons of photos! I'll show them to you, Sister Lumina!

March 7th: [Image.jpg][Image.jpg]...

"Little March is so lively," Lumina murmured with an indulgent smile as she scrolled through the flurry of messages from March 7th on her phone.

Reflecting on the storyline of Jarilo-VI, Lumina tapped the screen. First, she complimented March's photography skills, then offered a word of caution.

Lumina: These photos are gorgeous! I'm saving them all ♪

Lumina: March, sometimes things going too smoothly can be a red flag~ Anyone who climbs to the position of supreme leader is definitely no fool.

Lumina: If she's not a fool, why would she readily believe your words?

Lumina: So, she probably just pretended to agree, then planned to stab you in the back in the middle of the night.

"Huh?" On the other end, March 7th, still at the Belobog Hotel, stared at the message from her sister Lumina, her expression freezing. Lumina's words made perfect sense.

Indeed, March 7th realized, Lumina was right. The progress had been suspiciously smooth—almost too good to be true. It felt... deliberate.

A chill ran down March 7th's spine. She quickly sent a message to Lumina, scrambled out of bed, threw on her clothes, and burst out of her room.

March 7th: Huh?

March 7th: Sister Lumina, you should go to sleep! I have something I need to take care of!

Reading March 7th's message, Lumina shook her head, already picturing what March 7th was doing.

She's probably barging into Dan Heng and Stelle's rooms in the middle of the night to share her suspicions.

Then, she received a "You didn't know?" look from Dan Heng and Stelle.

Staring at their expressions, March 7th was initially confused, then understanding dawned. With a frustrated shout, she demanded, "Why didn't you tell me?!"

In response to her complaint, they exchanged a "We thought you already knew" glance.

Under their scrutiny, March 7th fell silent and retreated to her room.

Finally, she opened her chat app and began ranting to Lumina about what had happened.

Lumina could vividly imagine March 7th's entire sequence of events.

"March 7th is great in every way, except she's such a ditz," Lumina mused with a sigh. "Hmm... wait, maybe that's actually a good thing..."

With March 7th's level of gullibility, Lumina could probably trick her ten times with the same piece of candy—and she'd fall for it every time!

Lumina chuckled inwardly.

Well, being naive has its perks. Makes her so easy to fool o( ̄▽ ̄*)ブ♪*

Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~

Just as Lumina had anticipated, the ringtone for the Special Group sounded moments later.

March 7th: Sister Lumina, I'm so frustrated! They all knew Cocolia was suspicious!

Lumina: Alright, March, don't get so worked up. Now that you know Cocolia is up to something, get some rest. You'll be much more alert for tomorrow's battle.

March 7th: Okay, Sister Lumina. Good night.

Lumina: Good night, March.

March 7th stared at Lumina's message, then obediently set down her phone, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, after sending her message, Lumina also put down her phone.

"Jarilo-VI..."

Lumina rested her chin in her hand, lowering her head in thought. A faint smile curved her lips.

"Even if I don't have a proper reason to intervene, there's no harm in showing off a little..."
