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

"Think beautifully!"

Thinking of this, Miss Spring Fairy angrily turned her head away.

"Hmph, the great spirit of the spring has plenty of ways; I don't need the help of a mere typewriter!"

【...】

Little Sirin's sudden outburst of anger left the Corruption Herrscher completely baffled.

She didn't understand, but she was eager to learn...

Did humans originally like this?

[Hmph!] [Hmph!] [Hmph!]

Sheets of paper bearing the word "humph" kept appearing on the typewriter, making Xia Yuan wonder if he had broken it. Filled with guilt and apology, Xia Yuan hugged the typewriter... and opened its cover.

I felt a pair of warm hands gently stroking me.

Humans really like this!

The spring spirit lady did not deceive me.

"I'm not like those two. Now that I'm in your hands, Xia Yuan, you can do whatever you want with me, but don't even think about taking half a bag of snacks from me!"

Kiana never yields or compromises.

"Good, very spirited, as expected of Bug... Unlike Ellie, who has backbone~"

"Hehe, since I'm so principled, could you please release your best gaming partner for the sake of my bravery?" Little Kiana said shyly, poking her little hands.

"Ouch, it hurts!" Little Kiana covered her head.

"Honestly, I just praised you a couple of times, how come you're so easily flattered?"

Xia Yuan impatiently removed his hand from Little Kiana's head.

Just as Xia Yuan was pondering how to punish the three women, a brilliant idea suddenly popped into his head when he saw Aponia slowly walking towards him from a distance.

The three kittens were temporarily handed over to Aponia's mother for care.

After this game ends....

He also wanted to get Ellie, Chongchong, and Aquan to participate in a fun game.

Aponia looked at the three pitiful little ones in front of her, her eyes filled with love and tenderness, and hugged them all into her arms.

"Mother....."

Kiana sensed a familiar and nostalgic aura emanating from Aponia, which reminded her of her mother, Cecilia.

In this reassuring and comforting atmosphere, little Kiana fell into a deep sleep.

"Nia, my best friend, please let that poor fairy go, okay?"

Ellie coaxed her best friend Aponia to let her out, but Aponia hugged her even tighter with a loving expression.

"I'm sorry, Ellie, this is Mr. Xia Yuan's request."

"Sobbing...sobbing, Nia, you've changed. You're not even on your best friend's side anymore."

Ellie wiped away her tears, while little Sirin looked arrogant. She was different from the two of them; she was the beloved Spring Fairy. It was just a mere punishment, and she wasn't afraid at all!

Chapter 197 Targeted by the Corruption Herrscher~

However, little Sirin's trembling hands didn't say that.

After asking Aponia to look after Little Ellie and the others, Xia Yuan focused all his attention on the game area.

[Due to the absence of referee Ai Li, the role of game referee has been automatically transferred to Xia Yuan.]

Little Padma, who had planned to cling to the Spring Fairy for shade, fell down along with the Spring Fairy as everyone collected and distributed the loot [sun umbrella].

But Padofelis's hidden lucky attribute came into play once again.

At the critical moment before the fall, Little Paddy managed to grab the edge of the last floating platform.

"That was close, that was close!"

[The cat-eared girl is struggling to climb...]

Exhausted, Padofelis looked up at the crowd on the platform above.

"Wait a minute, why is Brother Jie chasing after Sister Eden while carrying a pillar, meow?!"

Pado quickly moved her square, trembling on the lowest platform as she looked up at the power struggle between the big shots...

Qianjie brandished his long pillar with an air of invincibility, seemingly intent on sweeping away all the other contestants on the same platform.

"Hahahaha...Get them all out of here!"

Eden and Rita simultaneously leaped into the air in a dance-like motion, their movements filled with elegance.

The two stood facing each other, their eyes meeting, and they exchanged a knowing smile.

Without a word, Eden understood that the elegant maid before him was someone he could drink with. After this game was over... he really wanted to invite her for a few drinks.

The Alloy Broni Silver Wing Bumper Car uses a jump feature.

[The genius engineer's spiraling toy has deployed a barrier—]

Watching Qian Jie indiscriminately wield his long pillar, attacking everyone in the game arena, Xia Yuan on the referee's bench couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Eden and Wilvie—these were all their own people...

However, now that I'm the referee, even if Bronya wins the game, as long as I change the prize to Ellie and the other two, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

But right now, there are very few blocks left under Eden and Rita's feet.

"Miss Maid, it looks like we'll have to leave early."

"It's a real shame that we couldn't win this game in the end and couldn't rescue Mr. Xia Yuan from Bronya. It's a dereliction of duty for a maid like me. But it's truly an honor for Rita to meet Miss Eden here."

"Since we're leaving now, would you like to have a drink, Miss Rita?"

Eden extended a special invitation to Rita.

"It's Rita's honor~"

[Achievement Acquired: Strange Friendship Increased!]

【The two lovers, Rose and Scarlet Song, who cherish each other deeply, are out of the running.】

[Record: A Question from Xia Yuan]

Why do I feel like Rita and Eden are here to make friends, not to play a game?

Meanwhile, on the platform at the very bottom of the game area.

"Brother Jie, you're so scary when you're angry, meow~ Luckily I'm on the last floor. Wait, is that Sister Velvi? She looks like she's stacking blocks... How come she's even worse than Sister Nia who floats in the air and creates lightning strikes!"

For the first time, Little Paddy felt that this game was really difficult.

Vilvie was using her engineering talent, holding the parasol she had taken from the Spring Fairy, to repair a square next to her every time she moved a square, in order to achieve a perpetual cycle.

This was a method she devised by understanding the rules of the game.

As long as she didn't fall off the platform, she was confident of victory in this game. Velvi's gaze fell on Xia Yuan, who had somehow broken free of his restraints on the [Referee's Table].

"Mr. Xia Yuan, please wait a moment..."

Xia Yuan was quite gratified and moved by this scene, and he understood the meaning expressed in the other person's eyes.

If Velvi continues like this until all the other contestants' squares fall, she will almost certainly win the game.

But Qianjie, who had eaten the strange little items that had appeared on the platform, didn't think so. He carried the [Black Hole Bomb] and the [Zero Degree Bomb] and leaped into the air, throwing them toward where Velvi was.

[Polite Explosive Fist: Here are two grenades for you!]

"Blacksmith, it's your turn!"

Faced with the Black Hole Bomb thrown by Qian Jie, Velvet calmly took out a bottle of potion and gulped it down. Her speed of stacking squares increased several times, and she also gave herself a comical Invisibility Blessing.

Having lost his footing, Qianjie, having lost his target, fell from the sky along with the two bombs that had returned to his body.

Just then~

Little Padma on the bottom platform seems to have seen something.

"Wait... that figure in the sky that's getting bigger and bigger in the distance, isn't that Jie-ge?!"

In a panic, Padofelis tried to escape this dangerous place, but there were no more blocks around her to hide in.

【Pado—Danger!】

At this moment, without any support, Qianjie fell onto the last floor where Padofelis was located.

"Hmm... Kitten."

A hoarse voice came from beneath the mask worn by Qianjie.

"Jie, Jie-ge... We're here!"

Padofelis tensed up, afraid that Qianjie would throw her down, but the sound of water droplets falling from her body caught Padofelis's attention.

"Brother Jie, something on you seems to be making a noise?"

"They're just two bombs about to explode."

At this moment, Qianjie calmly explained a certain fact to the still-unresponsive Padma.

[Padoflis's initial feelings were like this (*゜ー゜*)]

[This is followed by: Σ(っ°Д °;)っ！ ！ ！ ]

At the moment when Qian Jie was about to fall.

The two time bombs that Qianjie was carrying had quietly reached their end, accompanied by the ticking sound.

[Regarding Pathophilis's final cry: "Brother Jie, don't come any closer, meow!"]

But a second before the explosion, Qianjie casually tossed Padofelis in front of him onto the soft mat below, which was used for elimination. He would then have to bear the brunt of both the [Black Hole] and [Zero Degree] bombs alone.

[Regarding the Thousand Tribulations, he wanted to witness their power and not disappoint himself.]

I hope I can have a good time this time.

Records from the Corrupting Herrscher attached to the typewriter:

Do humans also have this kind of hobby?

Xia Yuan, who was sitting on the referee's bench, suddenly felt a chill. For a moment, it felt as if he had been being watched by someone.

Chapter 198 rewards you with a little Kiana~

The source of that gaze was the Paradise Typewriter beside him.

"Is it just my imagination?" Xia Yuan muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, the countdown for the bombs in the game area continues.

Three, Two, One...

Boom——

[The Thousand Tribulations exploded~]

[Lazy Cat During Afternoon Nap and Polite Explosive Fist are both eliminated.]

A world was born where only Little Paddo was injured~

"Waaaaah... Our plan to have Brother Xia Yuan work for us to save up gold coins has fallen through, meow."

Padofelis sat somewhat dejectedly in the rest area, her fluffy cat ears drooping along with her little cat. But Xia Yuan felt as if he had overlooked something...

"Where did my boss, Bronya, go?"

Including Rita and the others who have already left the stage...

The only ones left in the game arena should be Velvi and Bronya.

However, Xia Yuan still hadn't spotted Bronya. If Bronya had already been eliminated, the objective, fair, and just Paradise Typewriter should have already declared Velvi the winner.

Suddenly, Xia Yuan's pupils trembled.

He vaguely saw Bronya's gradually emerging figure quietly appear behind Velvi, who was focused on stacking squares and had no idea who was hiding behind her.

"Vilvie, Bronya is behind you... Watch out!"

Hearing his idiot subordinate's voice from the referee's table, reminding the other contestants that this was already a violation, just how much did his idiot subordinate really not want him to win this match?
