Honkai: Star Rail: Ms. Herta Wants Me to Confess

I'm the top wisecracker in Honkai: Star Rail, and Herta used a magic circle to forcibly draft me as her "fated partner."

Faced with this genius woman whose need for control is off the charts, I hit back with my absolute reversal ability:

She fires a truth ray, I bounce it back at the execution scene; she sends wave after wave of puppets, I rate and review them; she flirts with me herself, and I make her turn green with jealousy over a coffee cup!

Herta: "Admit it, you like me."

Me: "Oh, my dear Ms. Herta, did you forget to take your blood pressure medicine this morning?"

This is a cohabitation battle aboard a space station between a tsundere genius and a jokester who turns every trope on its head.

She makes her move, I reverse it. Let's see who cracks first! Goofy sweet romance, check. Hidden powerhouse, check. Daily doses of affection, check.
