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

Fortunately, she probably doesn't know.

"Pado's luck, wow, it really is. The contrast with the old antique is stark. Well, you can't say that. The old antique used all his luck wisely, in the most crucial places~"

The Lawbringer nodded in agreement, clearly appreciating Pado's good fortune.

"His special characteristic is actually good luck? Even better than mine?"

Kiana's eyes widened, and her cheeks puffed out. This was the only thing she was quite proud of...

"In real life, they may be about the same, but to be honest, Kiana, your luck in the game's storyline can't be described as good. As for Pado, she can always find a way out. The only time it failed... was when she made a different choice at the end."

Fu Hua sighed and said,

"...Luck can only represent one aspect. Things that we cannot control are often composed of many factors."

Kiana also sensed the tragic undertones in the conversation and stopped pressing for more information.

"But why... do I feel like she's a little hesitant to go forward?"

Kiana pondered, "Mei is charging ahead, so it wouldn't be bad for her to play a support role, would it? She really doesn't seem to be good at fighting."

So, are there really any types of heroes who aren't good at fighting? At first, she believed it, but after Mebius called her a weak scientist, she stopped believing it.

If it really is a problem with scientists... even Einstein and Dr. Tesla weren't that amazing!

"Hmm... she's really not the type to fight well, maybe... even less so than Gretsch? But she's not that cowardly, she's a... competent warrior."

The Herrscher of Knowledge playfully nudged Kiana's shoulder and gestured with his eyebrows.

"A qualified soldier..." Mei looked at her on the screen, and at Pado, who loved to sunbathe and go grocery shopping at night, and wondered what kind of action she would ultimately choose.

"How's that Brownie? Are you confident you can beat her?"

Kiana asked

"Sigh... Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! The character I control has no weaknesses whatsoever, unless I intervene in the battle."

The Lawbringer was somewhat frustrated, but even more excited; playing games is only fun when you have an opponent.

...

"Pado and Canned Food, what's their relationship? Come to think of it, you always see them together somewhere."

"At first I thought they were adopted, but when I thought about it carefully, if they also appear in Paradise, does it mean that they are not just simple owners? After all, ordinary cats don't go to Paradise."

Theresa turned her head, her eyes thoughtful, and asked,

"You've actually become smarter, Theresa, that's quite an achievement."

Luo Mo looked at her with some surprise, very curious whether the headmaster had been replaced, after all, there aren't many people who can observe so carefully.

"...Indeed, what's going on with Te Ri Ri? I didn't even notice this problem."

Brownie's eyes narrowed into slits; he was clearly overjoyed.

It has to be said that she and Luo Mo got along quite well, and they found a group of people to play games with. Delta also found meaning in being here. On the contrary, Xia always sat quietly in the corner.

"Hmph, I've become smarter... Wait, don't use the word 'surprisingly,' I've always been smart, okay?"

Theresa said through gritted teeth, realizing that one wrong move could easily lead her astray with Luo Mo's words.

Was he just praising himself? His words were vicious and malicious!

She'll teach him a lesson for disobeying his superiors sooner or later!

Oh, she's not his boss. That's alright, we can treat her after she becomes a bishop.

He was punished by having to work with me on the copywriting.

"Canned food is more like a part of Pado. It appeared automatically with her memories after she entered Paradise. I would say... Pado wanted to have a cat and wanted it to stay with her forever, so she appeared."

Luo Mo shrugged and said this.

This also indirectly explains why canned food is so intelligent and can understand human speech.

Chapter 36 Aponia (Galatians 15/24)

Back in the hall, Pado said goodbye and then left.

In her words, she had gone to a new place to source goods, and she would definitely have the chance to patronize them sooner or later. As for the raven, she happened to have many questions she wanted to ask it.

"You said you saw a space that looked like a prison..."

"...Well, how should I put it, it just feels like a prison."

Raven corrected the other person's wording and explained carefully, but it was clear that she was also very conflicted.

"What do you feel?" Mei countered.

"Yes, I don't know how to describe it, but from the moment I entered, I seemed to have already accepted that it was a prison."

"But in fact, there was nothing there, just pitch blackness—except for that mysterious woman."

Raven rested her chin on her hand, lost in deep thought, but she had never even seen that person once; she was too mysterious.

Then, remembering something, he quickly tried to pull something out of his pocket.

"Before I completely lost consciousness, she seemed to say something to me... and gave me something... Ah, I remember now—"

"It's that pendant! How could I have forgotten about it? — Wait, where's the pendant?"

The raven searched the entire body, but found no trace of it.

She was dumbfounded. Unconvinced, she searched again, but still couldn't find a trace.

She could only describe the lost item—it was a gold pendant with a rather large blue crystal set in it.

All the clues broke down again after the gem disappeared.

Mei felt that... she seemed to have some new perspectives, and she also happened to have a friend who was good at finding things, whom she had just met.

...

In the real Golden Courtyard,

"Little Padu~"

Ellie called out softly, looking at the other person with a mocking gaze, her eyes conveying a clear message: confess quickly, she knows who it is.

"It's you, isn't it, Little Paddy? It's not good to take things so blatantly."

Velvi lay half-reclined on the sofa, took a sip of her drink, and was no longer the disheveled woman she had been moments before.

Obviously, a new character named Velvi has appeared.

"Ahem—I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, it's not confirmed that it's me yet... You guys, wait until it's confirmed before you talk about me."

Pado muttered, scratching the back of her head. It must have been the raven that accidentally dropped it, and she just picked it up out of a sense of justice.

How could it be theft? Absolutely impossible!

She, Pado, never steals anything; she only sources her goods from deserted places.

"Tsk, so that's Mebius, huh? Look, something's missing, and it's Mebius's rival, Mei, who's missing it. Doesn't that make it pretty certain..."

Vervi casually remarked, but the content made Möbius's eyebrows twitch involuntarily.

"Hahaha...That makes sense!"

Qianjie expressed his approval.

"Vilvie—, it's not that something is missing from my body or I'm feeling unwell, it's not that something is missing. Why would I do something like petty theft? Humph!"

Möbius snorted coldly. She could tell the other party was being unreasonable, but she wasn't going to bear the burden of unfounded rumors.

The extra items in the wardrobe must be Alicia's doing!

"Uh—it should be me, no doubt about it, Sister Velvi. Let's not make assumptions. Besides, it's just a game... haha."

Pado quickly stopped Velvi from glancing at the others. It was clear that Velvi, with her personality, had the traits of a detective.

In other words... don't offer those kinds of unfounded corrections, and try to reason with them, okay? How can you be like Ahua in the Ring Project?

In that case...wouldn't she have offended all of Ying Jie's group as well?

...

Soon, Mei found Padre, or rather, she had nowhere to hide herself.

She owns a shop and runs a business; it wouldn't be good if she couldn't find the boss!

As for Pado's enthusiasm and the so-called clearance sale of leftover stock from a few years ago, Mei only paid attention to one item among them—exactly as Raven described.

His gaze involuntarily focused on that one point, and he said calmly.

"There is something in there that interests me—that gold pendant, it's quite unique."

Pado is quick; she can speak fluently right away.

"Wow, Mei-nee, you have such good taste! This pendant was one of the best-selling items back then. I hesitated for a long time before finally keeping the last one."

Trying to highlight its uniqueness and scarcity,

"Oh, is it so?"

"Yes, yes, just like many people have said, it's all about fate, first impressions are very important..."

“I recently promised Raven that I would help her find her lost pendant—a gold pendant with a sapphire inlaid, exactly the same as yours.”

"Uh...good taste! Good taste! I didn't expect Raven to like this style of pendant too, haha~"

"Hmm, what a coincidence."

Mei nodded slightly, her deep purple eyes fixed on the stealthy figure.

Paddy, you must be sweating buckets.

But Pado remained adamant, stating that even with an extremely low discount, the product had to be sold.

Just as Mei was having a headache about how to deal with this greedy cat, a strange voice pulled her over.

"...It's you, you've finally come."

"Mei-nee!! Don't, don't scare me!"

[Pado: Is this a staged accident?]
