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

"But I still can't figure out why someone would get stuck in a treasure chest..."

"Isn't it an adventurer's duty to open a treasure chest they see? And isn't it only natural to go inside and examine it carefully after opening it?!"

Pado blushed and tried her best to defend herself.

Mei suppressed a laugh as she watched Pado struggle to get out of the box, which perfectly matched her stereotypical image of cats as greedy.

But if you crawl inside a treasure chest and end up turning into a mimic or something, won't that become a laughing stock in Heroes of the Storm?

"Hmm, perfectly fits your trap. Curiosity killed the cat, I'll remember that."

Then, she drew her knife, the cold glint of the blade reflecting in her deep purple eyes.

"Mei-nee, don't just look, hurry up and save her... Ahhh—, why are you so quick to draw your knife? I really didn't plan to go to your place today..."

With a single slash, the treasure chest was split in two; the blade flashed, and the treasure chest was cleaved in two.

Pado carefully covered her eyes, and after a while, she opened them, quickly running her hands over her entire body to check if any of her flesh was missing.

That really scared the cat to death!

Then, she looked up and met Mei's smiling eyes.

"You just said... tonight? About ordering goods?"

She stroked the gleaming metal of the knife hilt, glanced at Pado sideways, and looked thoughtful.

"No, no, no, Mei-nee, you misheard."

Pado quickly waved her hand, indicating that it was simply a misunderstanding.

...

"...Uh, I probably wouldn't normally have something like this happen to me? Who would get stuck inside a treasure chest like that!"

Pado scratched her cheek and looked up at the ceiling as she retorted.

"That's not necessarily true,"

Luo Mo said silently, "After all, no matter how powerful a person is, the treasure chest is a psychological attack. You might just walk right in."

"Well, you won't be unable to break free."

"Perhaps... Little Paddo, it's not just canned food that needs to be dieted?"

Luo Mo offered a subtle suggestion, which was met with a look of grievance from Paddy. She sniffed and remained silent.

...

As it turns out, the conversation between Alicia and Kevin may have taken quite a long time.

Mei encountered almost half of the Yingjie in succession, and after talking to them separately and having some exploration, she finally saw Alicia waiting in the distance.

In a small pavilion, distant islands are shrouded in pink mist, while nearby are towers and houses.

The pink-haired girl had been waiting here for a long time; it was the place she had arranged to meet Mei.

Her eyebrows were slightly arched, and her eyes were still full of smiles.

"How's Kevin doing?"

"Don't worry, it's all taken care of. Now, no one will bother us anymore. Have you run into anyone else?"

"Having met some of them, it seems that... they all enjoyed it to some extent."

Mei replied, "How should I put it? As expected of your memory space."

This time, Mei praised him sincerely.

However, Alicia's smile widened, and her eyes shone even brighter.

"Well... Mei must be eager to get started too, right? Come on, let's talk as we walk."

Alicia eagerly grabbed Mei's hand and headed towards a group of buildings.

"Next... we're going to a special place."

After walking along some paths and encountering some monsters from the paradise, Mei was fortunate that it was no longer a trial and she no longer had to face them alone.

Stepping through the wooden door, Mei arrived at the special place Alicia had mentioned.

The room was large, spacious, and quiet. At first glance, it resembled a library, with books lined both sides and arranged on neat bookshelves.

The mahogany used for decoration has a sense of age and a sense of history imbued with a sense of knowledge. The red carpet on the floor is laid to welcome guests, and the light shining through the windows fills the room with sunshine.

But if anything is special, it's the machine on the table in the center of the room that stands out.

"For now... let's call this place the Paradise Archives. Isn't it a simple and easy-to-understand name?"

She patted the table, brushing off the dust, to show off the machine's features... well, if you had to put it simply, it was just a typewriter.

But the place Alicia brought her to was certainly not just a mere machine.

She told Mei that the Memory Vessels stored in the Paradise Archives all came from here. Those archives were not written by any one person, but rather the memories of heroes were brought to life in words through this typewriter, allowing for an objective and fair presentation of the facts.

"In other words, the texts and materials it produces are absolutely objective and publicly available. I went through a lot of trouble to bring it here!"

Alicia wagged her finger to attract Mei's attention, casually indicating that she had worked hard, trying to get more praise.

"Then... how do I use it?"

Mei ignored the other person's coquettishness and asked a question that she was more concerned about.

"Then I'll have to ask another friend for help. Ding ding—it's your turn to appear."

Then, Mei was surprised to find that the other person had taken out a doll, which also had long pink hair, an angel halo on its head, two pairs of cute little wings on the side, a white dress, and was holding a magic wand.

If I had to say, her face looks a lot like Alicia.

"Her appearance..."

"Isn't it cute? After all, it's modeled after me, with the same beauty and intelligence as me!"

"I made thirteen in total, but unfortunately, only Eden and Aponia accepted them in the end."

..

"Let's ignore that for now. This administrator hasn't moved at all since the beginning. Is he alright?"

"Because Mei didn't say the wake-up phrase, right?"

"Wake word?"

Mei was puzzled. Did this even need a wake word?

Alicia, however, was already prepared and handed her a note, making a cute sound as she looked at Mei, "Hmm?~"

"…Can I refuse?"

"Then it depends on Mei. After all... we've come this far, and we're only one step away from the truth."

Alicia said regretfully.

"..."

Mei took a deep breath, closed her eyes, then suddenly opened them again, as if she had made a decision.

“My dear…Aili…Ailisia.”

"...Why, why is there no movement?"

"Because Mei was speaking too softly, even I couldn't hear her clearly~ Now we have to do it again, right?"

Alicia smiled broadly, looking at Mei's face with some anticipation.

“Dear Alysia!”

Mei said through gritted teeth, her voice almost uttering each word as it came out of her mouth.

"Oh dear?~"

Alicia chuckled to herself; her long-planned scheme had finally succeeded.

Fortunately, this time Mei was not disappointed. The doll that looked just like Alicia slowly turned on and started the program.

Chapter 70 Even If You Become a Herrscher (5k)

As its blurry eyes slowly opened, it saw the world again after an unknown amount of time.

"Hello, lovely human! I am Airi, a fairy from the Land of Celestial Music, and I have come here to meet you, the one who is so important to me!"

The doll floated in the air, a surprised smile on its face.

Just like...

Mei glanced at Alicia beside her and found that not only did they look alike, but even the words she spoke and the personality of the doll were completely imitated.

That's really...

"That really is like having two Alicias, twice as cute, am I right?~"

Alicia picked up the cute doll, nuzzled her hair, and pinched her chubby cheeks with both hands. They looked quite nice and bouncy.

Even the doll seemed somewhat resistant to such enthusiasm, trying to push it away with both hands.

Too close, to me now that I'm a little older~

After the commotion subsided, Alicia reluctantly let go of the other person, allowing them to return to their work.

As mentioned earlier, the other party is likely a Paradise Archivist.

Right now, what Mei really wanted to know was how to use the machine in front of her. Fairy Airi, floating in the air, proudly showed her her how it worked, holding her magic wand.

"Let me first introduce this Paradise Information Database data acquisition console interactive output... uh."

"..."

It seemed the program was stuck; the other party paused for a few seconds.

Mei thought the other party had crashed, so she looked at Alicia in confusion. Alicia, however, seemed not to see anything and casually glanced out the window.

"...Let me introduce this typewriter to you."

Two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth as she spoke earnestly.

"So... you just couldn't remember the name?" Mei sighed inwardly, watching her silently.
