To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

"You can think about it when you're dreaming, but at other times..."

"It's okay, I was just asking... I'm glad you said that."

From the bottom of her heart, Raiden Mei had absolutely no desire to be his friend.

She was very fortunate that, although Qianjie and she didn't get along well, it was still good that he didn't consider her a friend.

...

Golden Courtyard

"Qian Jie... If you do this, who will dare to be your friend?"

Alicia chided playfully, glancing at the enthusiastic white-haired boy.

"Humph--"

"Qian Jie... I didn't expect you to still consider us friends?"

Aponia was also somewhat surprised, as she had never known about this before, but even so... she was also a little happy.

"Friends... ha, of course, friends who would live or die for you, friends who wish you dead!!"

Qian Jie said coldly, the flames behind him flickering, blazing and fierce, as if the air itself was filled with a burning sensation.

"Sigh, shy boys always tend to say the opposite of what they mean. You've already acknowledged Aponia as a friend, Senju~ you could try speaking more politely."

Alicia paid no attention to the flames in the void, but instead tried to persuade Qianjiedao.

"Hehe—, friend?"

Qianjie sneered, but did not refute Alicia's words. The other party was always like this... doing meaningless things.

Finally, what did they accomplish?

...

Theresa's side,

"Hmm... just asking, friends aren't defined like that in this world, are they? Also, that guy in the video probably isn't good at making friends."

Brownie pondered for a moment, then pointed to Qianjie inside and asked,

Hey hey hey—what should I do if she's inexplicably afraid of making friends?

Are all friends... this terrifying? Tearing their arms to shreds, throwing them into the blood...

"Obviously not. For example, Theresa and I are very good friends, and she generously gave me her villa. Of course, I also support this school financially."

Luo Mo tried to give the other party an example of a friend, such as the precious and admirable friendship between him and the headmaster.

"Ha—was that being generous?"

Theresa's lips twitched as she spoke, giving Luo Mo a disdainful look.

"Uh—are you sure it's friendship?"

Brownie raised an eyebrow, staring at his face in surprise, and said...

"Are you sure what you just said wasn't a deal?"

Delta turned around and asked.

"...Well, since you all have doubts, let's just pretend it's not true. It's a pity, Theresa, that our deep friendship is over."

Luo Mo chuckled lightly.

He just wanted to find an example to illustrate that friendships aren't that difficult, so why was it disrupted?

"Sigh—alright, alright, let's put aside what Luo Mo just said for now, but the friends in this world... are quite normal. The one who's abnormal is the one greeting us inside. How could she be so strange?"

Theresa sighed and explained, "My relationship with Luo Mo isn't really something that can be explained as just friendship."

Of course, they are friends...

But what friend would occupy someone else's house and not leave? She couldn't very well kick them out, although... she didn't dislike it; on the contrary, she found it much more lively.

But that guy... was it a deep friendship back then? How could it just disappear like that? Can such a friendship withstand the test of time?

She glanced at Luo Mo with displeasure, then turned away abruptly and snorted coldly.

"Are you angry?" Brownie poked Luo Mo with a strange expression.

“He’s angry,” Delta glanced at him and whispered.

"Indeed, Captain, you've angered Lady Theresa."

"...No, how come you are too?"

Luo Mo glanced at Eileen, somewhat puzzled.

...

Mei also received more detailed information about the Deeper Abyss from Klein.

In the past, it was the name of a prison, and in Paradise, it still exists.

It was special, and dangerous, and Klein sincerely advised Mei not to go there or touch it.

But is Mei the kind of well-behaved girl? Perhaps she used to be...

But the woman in paradise has absolutely no connection to this title.

This time, as she ventured deeper into Paradise, Mei keenly sensed the changes. Her starting location was vastly different from before, and the monsters she faced, the strange aura clinging to her... all felt distinctly different to her.

Even Alicia's whereabouts are unknown.

After defeating several waves of monsters, I finally spotted them. For some reason, encountering them again in this environment brought a strange sense of peace.

"Sigh, I don't know what happened, but Paradise has suddenly become a mess. Even our shared feelings can't tell us which way to go..."

She glanced around at the remnants of the battle, then raised the dark green, eye-like device in her hand, and excitedly declared...

"Thank goodness for this. What's it called again? Eye of the Awakener? Or is it the Kevin Armament Model 24? Oh well, anyway, it can search for and locate the Herrscher's position. It's pretty useful. I traded a Crystal Flower for it!"

Mei wasn't curious about Alicia's earlier flirting about shared feelings... or this kind of magical item... after all, it was the accumulation of a civilization.

What she was concerned about was... this thing, is it really not even worth as much as the little megaphone in front?

She was very curious about how Alicia's value system was distributed.

Is it because it doesn't look good?

Uh...maybe?

The real story is that Alicia helped her find Phyllis's location this time, and Phyllis agreed to help her find clues and information.

She could also see Yingjie, whom she had known for a long time.

Then, stepping through the door, she noticed that the stalls were noticeably different this time.

A lightly dressed, pretty young girl was bending over, counting something with great interest and concentration.

Behind it was a long, thin, patterned tail that swayed leisurely in the air, with a dazzling purple crystal needle at the end.

Wearing only shorts and a tube top, the tropical dancer's outfit was extremely revealing. She also had a pair of brown cat ears on her head, whether it was a hair accessory or her own appearance, and her short braids were also very playful and cute.

Chapter 35 Empty Dream, Pado Makes Her Appearance (Add 13/24)

"Welcome, welcome! Don't be shy, just call me Phyllis, or Paddo is fine too, whichever you prefer. Feel free to pick anything from the shelves, anything fake will be compensated tenfold, no returns or exchanges!"

She greeted him warmly.

This was Mei's first encounter with the cat.

"...These two slogans of yours shouldn't be together, should they?"

Mei gave a little consideration and offered a literary evaluation... So, can this be replaced or not?

"Ah, wait, could it be that you are... that Raiden Mei?"

"it's me."

The other person's bright eyes suggested they had already heard of her.

But... Yingjie? Paradise... why is there a name associated with her?

"Wow! It's you! Sister Aili has told me so many stories about you!"

Did Alicia mention that?

Suddenly, she felt a vague unease.

"A successor with horns on his head, who had only been there a short time, quickly became everyone's favorite. Then, for the sake of peace in Paradise, he beat up Sister Snake—"

Horns on its head? Beating up Snake Sister? For some reason, Mei remembered that tape recorder.

She turned her head, stared at Alicia, and remained silent.

Alicia blinked shyly, her gaze slightly averted, like a girl experiencing first love.

Meanwhile, Pado continued her endless, heartfelt praise.

"You're amazing! When Snake Sister gets serious, even if there were a hundred, no, two hundred of them, I still couldn't beat her!"

Well... Mei felt that she was different from all the other heroes she had ever met.

She stopped the other person from speaking. The other person's desire for her to buy things was too obvious, even... did Yingjie really like setting up a stall and selling things that much?

"I want to ask about someone, and Alicia said you can help me."

Mei lowered her eyes, standing tall and proud in the cold wind, in paradise.

"Oh? Intelligence business? No problem, whose gossip do you want to know?"

Pado's eyes lit up; the vivid vocabulary in her words clearly showed the kind of orders she usually received. So, the place where the thirteen heroes lived, the thing they talked about most was gossip?

"Raven."

"……who?"

Pado couldn't help but ask again, but forgive her, she really didn't know such a person existed.

"Hmm...she's about this tall..."

Mei described her height and related features to her, but Pado tried hard to recall them and still couldn't find them.
