Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

A strange smile appeared on Emiya's face.

even,

That's a little bit unethical.

The pink fairy seemed to have noticed something, or perhaps it was because Stand users are mutually attracted, for a look of eager anticipation appeared on her face.

"The person you're talking about...do I know him too?"

"of course."

"I know, it's Hua!"

"You'll find out soon enough."

The thought that Hua's memory was also here made Emiya's smile grow even more unrestrained. Among these Thirteen Heroes of the Flame Chaser, there were quite a few old acquaintances of Himiko.

Hua, Kevin, Alicia, Sakura, Mebius...

Eden, it is likely, did not know Himomi.

but……

The Australian bushfires almost turned her into an acquaintance; if she could see the lively Himiko, that big star would probably feel like she wanted to roar out.

Upon entering the Paradise of the Past, it wasn't long before the first adorable, headless NPC cat head appeared. Seeing her furtive, cat-like appearance, Mr. Emiya's eyes immediately lit up.

Such an adorable cat (Zhao Hao's) head...

If we don't bully them a bit, wouldn't it be a waste to have come to this paradise?

"Madam, please wait a moment."

"Hey, are you calling me?"

The cat-headed creature stopped in its tracks, staring at Alicia and Emiya Yutaka beside her with some confusion.

"Sister Aili, who is this?"

"He's a new friend who just arrived in Paradise."

"Oh, welcome, welcome! I'm Padofilis, everyone calls me Padof, you can call me that too. I run a small shop in Paradise, you can come find me if you need anything."

How did you know I was short of something?

"Oh? What kind of goods do you need, boss? We have everything here."

"Let me think... the pink dress Alicia gave to Mebius, the BL comics Gretchen drew of Sue and Kevin, Kevin's treasured Dawei instant noodles, Qianjie's fashionable denim photo album..."

"...Shut up! Shut up now! If you keep talking, whether those things exist or not, I'm really going to die!"

Chapter 179: Every year-end, Master Qian would use all his life's skills to knead out shiny dough.

"A thousand tribulations' fashion photobook...a BL comic drawn by Greta Thunberg?"

As she muttered what Emiya had said, a captivating glint suddenly appeared in the fairy's eyes.

The moment the cat turned its head, it took in the change in the fairy's pupils, and instantly the weight that had been hanging over its heart was lifted.

The worst person heard the worst things!

While she did collect some other people's personal belongings,

But even if such forbidden items existed, how could someone as timid as Pado dare to touch upon the dark history of those older brothers and sisters?

"Ai, Ai Li! Don't listen to what he's saying! We really don't have those things."

"But they did give Mebius a pink dress."

Oh no, now I really have no way to defend myself!

The person involved spoke directly from their own experience!

Cathead began to wail in her heart. If the names of these collections fell into the ears of those other big brothers and sisters, wouldn't she be skinned alive and made into cat fur?

but……

Then again,

Did Greta actually draw that kind of thing?

And there's Jie Ge...

hiss,

The thought of Qianjie posing as a model for other people is unbearable.

Could it be that the nun forced Jie to do it?!

It’s bad!

I, Pado, have learned another secret I shouldn't have known!

073 Oh no!

"Alright, enough joking. I know that those things don't exist in Pado's paradise space."

"So that's how it is, it's not paradise."

Listening to the back-and-forth singing, Cat Head felt a chill run through his body. Even though he was already a memory entity, he could still feel waves of cold air rushing towards him.

Although the man and woman in front of her were smiling kindly, the mercilessness beneath those smiles made her hair stand on end, and she wanted to run away on the spot.

"Actually, they are not in this world, but in a world line that has not collapsed. There is a golden courtyard where the Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser live together... Eden is the patron."

"I see. No matter what world it is, Eden is always so approachable."

"really."

A woman who can casually pull out a bunch of jewels as a greeting gift or souvenir—who wouldn't want to be friends with such an approachable and down-to-earth superstar?

"Phew, that scared me to death, Sister Aili, and this boss too. I, Pado, am a coward, so please don't play jokes like that on me again."

"But you did do it in the parallel world."

"..."

The cat-headed girl stared wide-eyed at the man, who was deliberately targeting her, the innocent cat-headed girl.

so bad!

"Alright, alright, stop bullying Pado. Go see the others first. After you've said your hellos, don't you need to leave Paradise Space and go to the outside world as soon as possible?"

Miss Pink Fairy has probably had a change of heart.

Having helped Cathead out of that predicament, Cathead looked at his beloved Sister Alice with gratitude, only to see her lips moving as if she were saying something.

And as it happens,

Cathead understands a little bit of lip reading.

She also happened to understand what the pink fairy was saying.

"Get me one of these."

No, we really don't have those things!

Cat Head watched the man and woman walk away with a tearful expression, silently plotting to get a piece of his embarrassing past from someone. If he couldn't get it, given Sister Ai Li's personality, she would definitely tease her even more.

The key is,

It turns out that Ellie alone is already quite difficult to deal with.

Now another troublesome person has arrived who seems to be very familiar with Sister Ellie and is on the same level as her.

If these two were to join forces, could this paradise of the past still be called a paradise?

I, Padofelis, just want a peaceful life!

……

"In a parallel world, where we don't collapse, just thinking about it makes me feel happy."

Leaving Padoflis, the fairy couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Everyone in that world must be working normally and enjoying a peaceful and harmonious life."

"Pretty much. You're a streamer, Kevin's a programmer, Sue's a doctor, Master Qianjie is a chef who occasionally models, Eden is a big star, Sakura and Aponia are normal office workers, and poor Klein has to be exploited by Mebius to work overtime during the New Year holiday when he gets there..."

"...Master Qianjie, hahaha...Qianjie actually became a chef and a (cfai) model."

The fairy couldn't help but burst into laughter. Just as she was laughing, a man with his eyes closed and a girl in a dark blue combat suit happened to pass by. They overheard the man say...

“Every year during the Lunar New Year, Master Qian would use all his skills to knead the dough until it was shiny and smooth. Miss Ying would use her knife skills honed over ten years in her hometown to chop all the meat into fine sauce without leaving a single piece of cartilage. Hua, who came from a family of martial arts practitioners, would skillfully use a rolling pin to roll out dough wrappers. And Dr. Su… would skillfully use needle and thread to sew the dumplings together.”

"Etc., etc!"

Upon hearing about sewing dumplings with needle and thread, Alicia didn't react immediately, but Miss Hua, from a traditional Chinese family, couldn't stand such heretical pronouncements.

"My friend, how could you say such a thing? Even if Su is completely lacking in common sense, she must know that dumplings should be pressed and pinched together with your fingers!"

"...Is it not allowed?"

The man with his eyes closed asked a question instinctively.

then,

Hua was completely stunned.

They were directly and forcefully held in place.

"Absorbable surgical sutures will not have any effect on the human body, and choosing the thinnest type should be fine."

He was explaining it earnestly, drawing on his professional knowledge.

"You didn't actually do that, did you?!"

At that moment, even Mr. Emiya couldn't help but turn his head to look at the man with his eyes closed, as if he had seen a ghost.

"I had this idea before, but unfortunately... no one had much of a chance to make dumplings anymore."

The man with his eyes closed shook his head, then spoke again.

"Friend, is everything you just described a scene observed from a parallel world?"

"It should be counted."

"...I really wish we lived in a world like that."

"It's not that there's no chance, Dr. Su."

Emiya glanced at the two of them, then smiled.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Shirou Emiya. In terms of what you can understand, I'd say I'm an alien. I'm a 'nameless visitor' from outside the solar system... I possess some strange technology that allows me to travel between different worlds, and even... different timelines."

"Besides your side, I also have a timeline that takes place after the seventh collapse of the previous civilization..."

The Seventh Honkai Impact...

Upon hearing this sensitive term, a faint glimmer of hope flashed in Hua's eyes, but it quickly faded away.

After the seventh Honkai...

Then,

The captain, should still be...

"magnificent."

Suddenly, a voice fell into my ears without warning.

That is, at the very moment I heard that sound,

Alicia and Hua simultaneously looked up, gazing in the direction of the sound...

The instant I saw that person's face clearly,

The fusion warrior named Hua suddenly felt a lump in his throat.
