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

"Hey hey hey, Bronny surrenders~"

Xia Yuan stared at Bronya in front of him...

If you don't look closely, the other person's appearance seems to resemble Prometheus's twin sister. It appears that the other person is a private detective, but the girl's gaze towards her carries a hint of resentment.

"Hmm... little detective, do I know you?"

"Ha, the famous Detective Ming certainly wouldn't know a down-on-his-luck detective like me."

“There are countless cases to take on every day, unlike us little detectives who can only take on cases about old ladies losing their cats and dogs.”

Bronya's words carried a hint of personal grudge, to which Xia Yuan could only helplessly pat her head.

"Huh?! (Alert!) Don't touch Brony's head!"

A blush appeared on the girl's cheeks.

Seeing the girl in front of him, he felt an urge to bite her...

Xia Yuan quickly withdrew his hand to avoid being bitten on the arm with a row of neat little teeth marks.

"Alright, Broni, little detective, what's your reason for secretly eavesdropping on our conversation in this carriage?"

Bronya turned her head away, displeased, and said:

"What else could it be? It just so happened that there were so many people gathered in this carriage."

"I came to join the fun and see what was going on. As for the reason, does helping one of your forgetful clients find her lost kitten named Stan count?"

Bronya took out a rather abstract sketch of Stan from her bosom.

"Uh... are all abstract artists this bold these days?"

Xia Yuan looked at the strange creature in front of him, which resembled a cat. Apart from its gray tail, it was hard to tell that the creature in the painting was a kitten.

"What, do you have some complaints about Broni's portrait?"

Bronya quickly rolled up the portrait in her hand and questioned Xia Yuan in front of her.

"No, no, Broni, you draw very well, comparable to Kiana. I believe you will soon become a rising star in the art world."

"What? I would never draw something that ugly."

Himeko gently pinched Kiana's arm, and Kiana, realizing she had misspoke, reacted with a jolt after Himeko's prompting, "Ahem... I meant it's drawn quite well."

"Humph!"

Bronya haughtily turned her head away; she wouldn't stoop to the level of the dumbest idiot in the world.

"So, little detective Ms. Broni, you've come to the train to find a cat named Stan. Please tell me, what kind of cat would ride on the train alone?"

Xia Yuan asked the petite detective Ms. Broni in front of him, as he had indeed heard that Durandal had owned a cat.

"Hmph, that Stan's little cat is special. Broni has lost track of it many times. Even the famous detective Broni probably can't catch it."

Xia Yuan had not yet spoken...

Bronya's words displeased Kiana first, who pointed at Xia Yuan beside her and said, "What? It's just a little cat. Just wait and see, my detective will definitely catch it!"

That's exactly what I was waiting for.

Bronya smiled as she took Xia Yuan's hands in her arms, revealing two small fangs at the corners of her mouth.

"Is that so? Then I'll leave it to you, Detective. I'm sure the famous detective can catch that little cat named Stan. This portrait is for you, Detective. Brony has something to attend to, so I'll be going now."

Seeing that the scheme had succeeded~

After handing the portrait to Xia Yuan, Bronya made a hasty escape like a nimble little rabbit.

Chapter 238 Welcome to [Arilo - VI]

"Kiana, then I'll leave the job of finding Stan to you."

Xia Yuan handed the somewhat abstract portrait to Kiana, but she clearly didn't want the gift. She clapped her hands dismissively, as if she wanted to get rid of the portrait as soon as possible.

"I don't want it!"

The piece of paper that Kiana casually tossed aside...

It was just randomly scattered onto a light blue-haired girl with naturally curly hair who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Hmm, the drawing is quite artistic... comparable to Dr. Tesla's."

The red-haired girl with pigtails pushing the wheelchair behind her seemed to grip the handles even tighter, almost causing Professor Ai Yin to tumble off the wheelchair.

"Hey, you scraggly hair, I would never draw such a low-quality painting. Believe me, even the mechanical lobster that Anti-Entropy just developed could draw better than this!"

However, after Dr. Tesla said those words, Professor Ein, who was sitting in a wheelchair, secretly tugged at the other's trouser leg. The red-haired twin-tailed doctor, who was pushing the wheelchair, realized that she had said the wrong thing and closed her lips tightly.

Although the movements were very subtle...

However, Xia Yuan, who had been observing the two closely, still noticed it.

"Hello, renowned detective, it is an honor to meet you in person. I am Moriarty Ai. However, I regret that my legs are not able to move properly, so I cannot stand up to pay my respects. Please forgive me."

Ai Yin was like a long-lost friend, taking off her gloves engraved with anti-entropy patterns and extending her slender arm to the other person, but her intuition was telling and warning Xia Yuan.

Professor Aiyin, who was in a wheelchair, harbored a vague and peculiar hostility towards herself.

Seeing that the other party hesitated...

Professor Aiyin spoke again:

"What's wrong, Detective? Are you afraid I'm hiding a nail between my fingers?"

Ai Yin showed Xia Yuan the palms of her hands.

Just then, Prometheus took the initiative to shake hands with Professor Ein, who was in a wheelchair.

"Professor Moriarty Ein, let me extend my friendly greetings to you on behalf of Advisor Xia Yuan."

Upon seeing that the person she was shaking hands with was not Xia Yuan, but rather the artificial intelligence developed by Destiny, Professor Ai Yin's eyes flashed with a flicker of emotion, but she quickly concealed it, becoming unfathomable and as calm as a stagnant pool.

"Alright, now that the handshake and exchange are complete, Advisor Xia Yuan, shall we continue with our previous plan and return to the private room to discuss the case?"

Prometheus spoke expressionlessly.

However, Himeko Murata, standing to the side, was full of enthusiasm and took the initiative to put her arms around Xia Yuan and Prometheus's shoulders.

"Now that the jackal has been handed over to Mei, what's the point of chatting anymore?"

"Trust Mei, she's a junior I personally mentored. Come on, let's have a drink! I've brought plenty of fine wine in my suitcase, you'll definitely have a good time."

"To be honest, as an artificial intelligence, red wine is less appealing to me than gasoline."

Prometheus subtly made his strange request.

"Wait a minute, I seem to remember that Prometheus, you only need to charge to replenish your energy, right?"

"Kiana, can't I have a change of pace?"

A blush suddenly appeared on Prometheus's face, but it was probably just due to a sudden spike in the CPU's power level, and then it disappeared under the strong, cold airflow built into Prometheus's body.

at the same time……

Xia Yuan's gaze swept over Himeko Murata's heavy briefcase. It turned out that it didn't contain a chainsaw or any special weapon provided by Destiny, but rather a bottle of red wine.

If Eden were here...

The two may get along extremely well, but for the sake of their health, Xia Yuan sincerely hopes that they will not meet.

"Let's go, let's go, don't stay in the corridor any longer, let Professor Ai Yin and her little assistant pushing the wheelchair pass by."

Himeko Murata, with fiery enthusiasm, urged Xia Yuan and Prometheus to leave through the passageway from behind.

"Hey, Aunt Himeko, I'm still standing here!" Kiana called out as the three of them hurriedly chased after her. "And also, I want to drink too!"

"Minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol!"

"I'm an adult now!"

Amid Kiana and Himeko Murata's bickering, the four slowly left the carriage aisle, leaving only Professor Ein pushing her wheelchair and Dr. Tesla following behind her.

However, after Xia Yuan left, Professor Moriarty Ein, who was sitting in a wheelchair, underwent a drastic change in expression.

"We were supposed to be able to obtain the other party's fingerprints, but we didn't expect that they would be intercepted by the artificial intelligence developed by Destiny."

Upon closer inspection...

Professor Aiyin's hands appeared to be covered with a thin layer of special nanomaterial.

"Chicken-hair, we failed to obtain that famous detective's fingerprints. What's our next move? That mechanical lobster in the quantum space isn't so easy to control."

"Not urgent."

Professor Ai Yin adjusted his glasses, his gaze surprisingly calm.

On this steam train, there will always be opportunities.

Night had gradually fallen, and the steam train traveled at a steady speed on the tracks. Under Himeko Murata's enthusiasm, Xia Yuan eventually succumbed to the alcohol content of the red wine.

The drunken Himeko Murata kept expressing her desire for a partner.

But Himeko's eyes remained fixed on Xia Yuan, who was swaying precariously beside her, and she even poured him another cup.

Xia Yuan, who couldn't hold his liquor, drifted off to sleep.

However, Xia Yuan maintained a brief period of clarity in his mind, and saw the surrounding scenery gradually becoming distorted, undergoing some kind of huge transformation.

【Ariello - VI】

This is a planet that is perpetually covered in ice and snow.

When Xia Yuan woke up and opened his eyes again, an extremely cold and biting chill assaulted him.

Snow covered his entire body.

He crawled out from the buried snow.

"Where am I? Wasn't I just forced to drink with Himeko on the steam train?"

Xia Yuan observed the surrounding environment.

Surrounded by a blanket of white snow, there was an open-pit mine not far away.

People who appeared to be miners were struggling to carry the freshly mined star ore through the wind and snow, and then loaded it into the minecarts on the tracks that were about to be buried by the snow.

"Hurry up! This is the latest order from High Guardian Cocolia. If the star ore extraction doesn't meet the standards and cannot satisfy Lady Cocolia's needs, no one is allowed to rest!"

A silver-haired guard, clad in thick silver armor, stood beside the passing miners, brandishing a spear and shield and giving them instructions.

Chapter 239 A Strong White-Haired Girl (Clara)

Just then...

A white-haired girl with bare feet struggled to keep up with the group, carrying a load of minerals almost as large as her petite frame.

Swah——

Accompanied by a sudden stumble...

Unable to bear the weight of the star ore on her shoulders, the white-haired girl collapsed in the snow, scattering the star ore from the cloth bag all over the ground.

"Well....."

She clutched her ankle with both hands, wincing in pain.

"Hey, what's going on over there? Get up and clean up the star ore now, how are the miners going to get through like this!"

The silver-haired guard sternly rebuked the white-haired girl.

Clearly, the white-haired girl had sprained her ankle and lost the ability to move.

But the captain of the Iron-Haired Guard kept urging her on, completely disregarding the fact that she was just a thin, young girl.

"Get up!"

The silver-haired iron guards had already arrived in front of her.

He brandished his spear and shouted orders, while the other miners silently clenched their fists.

"What are you looking at! This is a star mine personally designated by the Great Guardian, Lady Cocolia. If we don't reach the specified quantity, none of us will escape."

Other Silver-Haired Iron Guards from the vicinity also rushed over upon hearing the news.

The oppressed miners, fearing the silver-haired iron guards, dared not take any action.
