Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

Vilvi was driving her modified armed fortress slowly from the city to the suburbs. Since the communications were broken, she saw Xia Yuan's message immediately.

To have enough funds to repair the communication equipment and buy tickets to Mount Taixu, Vilvi returned to her old profession.

Contracted Projects

Clearing snow to help restore traffic on city roads was the first engineering project that Vilvi received.

"Hmm... let me see where to go next? The current map looks so rudimentary, it doesn't even distinguish between upper and lower levels, isn't that incredibly irresponsible?"

Wearing a hard hat and looking like a construction professional, Vervi stared at the map in her hand, but the snowplow, which was converted from an armed fortress, did not stop working.

click-

The snowplow seemed to have hit something and suddenly stopped moving...

A sudden stumble caused Vervi to fall into a snowdrift in front of her. Looking at the branches and dead leaves mixed in with the snow, Vervi tossed them aside.

"Who is so inconsiderate as to mix tree branches into the snowdrift? This is seriously hindering the construction progress!"

Looking at the map she had just seen, she realized there was still a large area waiting for her to clear. Now, all she wanted to do was complete the task as quickly as possible and reunite with Xia Yuan and the others.

Just as Velvi was about to get up...

The snowdrift beneath her could no longer support the girl's weight and collapsed deeply.

"Huh?!"

Looking up at the hole, the girl was astonished to find herself unharmed after falling from such a height. She patted her body in surprise, wondering who had set this trap.

It felt soft and yielding underfoot... Vilvi looked down at herself.

"Huh?"

"Isn't that the kitten [Canned Food] that's always with Phyllis? But why has it gotten so big...?"

As Velvi brushed the snowflakes away, the figure of [Canned Food] appeared before her eyes. Although she didn't know how the other person had fallen into such a trap, she should try to rescue him as soon as possible.

After a while...

A simple gear mechanism was fixed above the cave entrance by Vilvi, which drove the armed fortress to slowly hoist it up from inside the cave.

"Phew...so heavy, [Canned Food], you really need to lose weight!"

Velvi forcefully placed it on her armed fortress, and sped away across the snow carrying the overweight [canned goods].

The girl is diligently shoveling snow...

After an unknown amount of time, a faint ray of light shone on Xia Yuan's face.

"Hmm...where am I?"

As Xia Yuan moved his body in a daze, he suddenly realized that he could stretch out his limbs, and his drowsiness was instantly eliminated.

"Pado...Pado, wake up! We think we're saved."

Xia Yuan patted the girl's cheeks, but no matter how much he called out to her, Phyllis had clearly fallen into a deep coma after accidentally eating the bitter melon chocolate that only Theresa could find delicious.

For safety reasons, Xia Yuan slowly moved toward the dim light.

Not long after~

Chapter 170 The Adorable Fairy Makes a Dazzling Debut~

A small hand reached out from the mouth of the can, groping around at its surroundings.

Once it was confirmed that it was safe outside, Xia Yuan emerged from inside. Fortunately, there were no pedestrians around, and no one noticed the slightly eerie scene on the strangely shaped vehicle.

"Hmm? This snowplow looks so familiar... Could it be that Miss Vilvie saved me and Paddo just now? But where is she now?"

Xia Yuan stood on it and looked around. The vehicle, which had been modified by the other party, was parked near the city's subway station, but he couldn't see any trace of Vilvie anywhere in the vicinity.

"Let's look around the area first..."

After settling Padofelis in, Xia Yuan jumped off the snowplow and slowly walked along the path beside him, stepping on the soft white snow.

At the same time~

Not far from Xia Yuan, outside a restaurant called [Houmu Restaurant]...

slam-la-

A soft, rumbling sound came from the mound of snow, and suddenly a cute and charming pink fairy emerged from it!

"Clang clang clang~"

"The adorable and charming fairy lady has made a dazzling appearance! Ah~ she's finally out! Let me guess where we are!"

Fairy Airi shook her body to gently brush the snowflakes from her hairline, but the aroma wafting from the [Houmu Restaurant] tempted the little glutton in the pink fairy's stomach.

"Oh, it smells so good."

The adorable fairy, drawn by the aroma, leaned against the glass wall of the [Houmu Restaurant], her eyes revealing a strong desire for the fragrant food.

Ha~~

The warm breath that Little Ellie unconsciously exhaled caused a thin layer of fog to form on the glass in front of her, making Ellie's eyes appear particularly hazy.

She was craving it....

Just then, an unexpected person appeared not far behind the cute fairy.

"Is this Aunt Mei?!"

Xia Yuan, who was just about to walk out of the alley, almost bumped into Raiden Mei by chance.

Xia Yuan hurriedly hid in the alley, but he found that Mei's gaze did not notice him in the alley next to her. Instead, she was staring intently at a restaurant called "Houmu Restaurant" in front of her.

Following Mei's gaze, Xia Yuan hid in a corner of the alley and looked in that direction.

"Huh? That figure is Little Airi?!"

Aunt Mei slowly walked to the glass of the restaurant, picked up the cute fairy from behind, and Xia Yuan instinctively took a step forward, but for some reason put her back down.

He vaguely remembered that Little Airi once said that she would only meet Mei after she grew up.

In this situation, what would Ellie do?

Xia Yuan decided to get a little closer first, observe the situation between the two secretly, and then make a plan.

At this moment~

In front of the [Houmu Restaurant], when the fairy Airi saw that the person picking her up was Mei, who had grown up, a look of joy involuntarily flashed in her eyes, but she wanted to show her best side...

【Alicia】Go to see the other party, instead of the current fairy Alicia.

So, the adorable fairy chose to play dead.

"Uh--"

The fairy Ellie disguised herself as a doll, concealing her presence, and closed her eyes to rest.

"Mei has really grown up~"

The lovely fairy thought to herself, feeling very gratified to be reunited with her old friend and to see Mei as she is now.

I wonder if Mei's horns have grown along with her? I'm so looking forward to it. Once she finds her best self again, she'll have to ask Mei about it.

How long did I sleep? I wonder how Xia Yuan is doing now~

Has he been lonely without his company these past few days? Has he been eating on time?

Worried about the other's predicament, the obedient fairy decided to get through Mei's current predicament, have a delicious lunch, and then head to Mount Taixu to find Xia Yuan.

Raiden Mei slowly turned the fairy Airi, who had her eyes closed, around, staring intently at her. Just as Airi thought she was about to be exposed...

Mei looked at the [Houmu Restaurant] in front of her and muttered to herself:

"Did someone abandon Ellie's doll here? Or did they accidentally leave it nearby..."

However, this doll does resemble the real thing quite well.

With a nostalgic expression and a hint of kindness in her eyes, Mei reached out and pinched the fairy Airi's cute little face.

"Ugh... I'll endure it~"

The adorable fairy is enduring the torment of Aunt Mei.

Just as the fairy Airi was about to cry, Theresa's image suddenly appeared in Mei's eyes.

"Hmm? Theresa, is something the matter?"

"Mei, are you free right now?"

"Um, the situation is a bit urgent... Anyway, Mei, could you please go back to Schicksal headquarters first?"

Theresa's expression was somewhat unnatural, as if she had something difficult to say.

"Hmm? Of all times..."

Mei still needs to investigate the whereabouts of the creature that took Mr. Xia Yuan, but Theresa is so eager for her to return to the Schicksal headquarters that she may have something more important to tell her.

Although Mei was very concerned about Xia Yuan's whereabouts and the aura of Alicia emanating from him, she could not ignore the request from Principal Theresa... the Bishop.

After a moment's consideration... Raiden Mei slowly spoke:

"Theresa, I understand. I will return to Schicksal headquarters as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Mei's affirmation, Theresa seemed very excited and even jumped off the cushion she was using as a mat. Fortunately, Miss Amber caught her in time, preventing her from falling to the ground.

"Great, Teriteri~"

"Now the bitter melon pastry that I painstakingly researched has finally found its second love."

As for Miss Amber, his first love...

As an artificial human, she is clearly not very good at things related to taste.

At this point, one needs a highly skilled professional cook to help them savor the pastries, and within Destiny, the best and most suitable candidate is undoubtedly Mei, whose culinary expertise is absolutely unquestionable...

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mei. I'll prepare some pastries in the lounge for you when you arrive~"

"Hmm? Pastries..."

Before Mei could ask for details, Theresa hung up the call.

"Honestly... Theresa is already a bishop, how come she's still acting like a child?"

Aunt Mei sighed, looking at the fairy Airi doll in front of her. Mei wanted to take it with her, but then thought that someone might have accidentally left it behind...

Chapter 171 Love Gate~

Raiden Mei thoughtfully tidied up the doll she thought was the fairy Airi.

It was handed over to the front desk of [Houmu Restaurant].

Hopefully, after returning the item to its rightful owner...

I hope her owner will cherish her and not lose Ellie's dolls again.

That's it~

Aunt Mei and Senja, who was enthusiastically wielding a spatula in the kitchen of the [Houmu Restaurant], just missed each other.

She needs to return to Schicksal headquarters to report to Theresa.

Witnessing Raiden Mei's departure, Xia Yuan, who had been sneaking around in the alley, quietly peeked out. He had just seen Little Airi being handed over to the front desk of the [Houmu Restaurant] by Aunt Mei.

"A good opportunity."

This is an opportunity not to be missed...

He planned to sneak the fairy Airi out of the [Houmu Restaurant] while Aunt Mei was away.

"etc?!"

He suddenly realized a possibility...

What if this is the bait that Aunt Mei is using to lure me in? Wouldn't I be walking into a trap if I went there?

Time passed slowly, but Xia Yuan still resolutely took a step forward. Even if it was a trap, he couldn't leave the fairy Ai Li there all alone; he couldn't bear to leave her there.

ding dong~

Welcome!

Accompanied by the polite welcome from the receptionist, Xia Yuan slowly entered the restaurant. He hadn't expected that this [Houmu Restaurant] would be so popular, even in such a blizzard, it was still packed.

"Um... hello, did a mature and beautiful lady with purple hair just place a... well, a very cute pink doll here?"
