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

Why does Alicia's scent still linger on him? But the other person was fine, she just lay unconscious on the train berth for a whole month. Oh well... let's just say she's on vacation.

After all, it's been a long time since I've had a proper chance to relax.

Just then, Kiana seemed to have heard some terrible news and urged:

"Feeling guilty?! Mei, what happened between you and Xia Yuan? Cough cough... He's my personal gaming partner, and even if it were Mei, I wouldn't give him up to you!"

But Kiana changed the subject and said:

"Hehe... But Mei looks so good now too. Compared to before, she's more mature and charming now~"

But Mei doesn't seem to buy into that anymore.

"Kiana, tell me honestly, I haven't even asked you what's going on with your appearance and posture yet?"

"Hmph, Mei, I can only move around freely on the moon, but as long as I attach myself to the armored doll..."

Little Kiana didn't say anything, but silently spun around, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Who told Kiana about this method?"

Mei pressed for an answer.

"Mei, guess! Of course, it's Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla on the train!"

"Hmm? Really? Kiana, but I haven't heard Dr. Ein mention this before. So who is it? Kiana, you need to tell me the whole story honestly."

"Mei...you, please don't be like this, I'm scared."

Aunt Mei looked at Kiana with an expression that said, "I'm super kind."

Faced with Aunt Mei's aggressive questioning, Kiana's gaze subconsciously drifted to the fairy Airi, who was sweating profusely in the room.

She has always maintained the appearance of being just a "very cute doll".

Since Mei arrived, Alicia has been in this form for a month now.

But by this time, she was already willing but unable to do anything about it.

Every day she longed for Xia Yuan to wake up soon, but Mei just sat in this room every day.

She didn't dare to move an inch.

Chapter 251 Come on, you idiot subordinate, open your mouth and drink your medicine!

The adorable fairy remained motionless.

This was undoubtedly a form of mental torture and torment for Ellie, who loved to play around.

She told Kiana how to place her soul into the armed doll, but she herself was in dire straits at the moment.

"Xia Yuan, come quickly and save Ai Li!"

Ellie, the fairy, cried out in her heart.

But at this moment, Xia Yuan was still in a state of confusion and mental standby. He felt as if he had experienced a lot, yet it was as if he hadn't experienced anything at all.

Meanwhile, at the bedside, Kiana was still giving Mei-san a perfunctory answer.

"Ahem... My dear Mei, please don't worry about these details~"

"The most important thing right now is that Xia Yuan has woken up. Also, arguing loudly with a patient who has just woken up is not good for their recovery. Bronya... stop playing games and come over here to help me persuade Mei."

But Bronya acted as if she hadn't heard anything until a small line of text appeared on her game console screen.

Congratulations on ascending to the throne of number one in the Memory Battlefield!

Memory Battlefield

1. [Honkai Impact 3rd is now available for pre-release at an early bird price of only 648]

Second, [Upstairs, this is a world for the strong, not a place for you to advertise! Oh, thank you... your points are a full 1000 points higher than mine, holy crap, what kind of god is this? You're welcome, this is what you deserve.]

3. [Hey pros, stop arguing! Have pity on us casual players, give us a break!]

4. [You guys are all bald, especially the top-ranked player, is that a score a human could achieve? Reported...reported!]

After warming up, Bronya casually tossed the handheld console onto the bed where Xia Yuan was lying.

This time, however, she was surprised to find her incompetent subordinate, who was practically in a vegetative state...

Alive.

After Kiana picked her up from another world, she has been lying motionless in bed. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had become a vegetable.

"Cough cough... You silly subordinate, you're awake! I thought you'd never wake up again."

"......???"

"Why does it seem like Bronya would rather spend her whole life lying in bed?"

Xia Yuan silently expressed the appropriate silence in his heart.

However, despite saying that, Bronya had been taking care of Xia Yuan diligently for the past month.

Then...

Bronya picked up a bowl of stewed broth from the side and presented it to Xia Yuan.

"Ahem... This is chicken soup that Bronya prepared for you, you idiot subordinate. Drink it up."

Xia Yuan subconsciously took it, but the overall color of the soup made him unable to drink it. The dark green soup, after being heated, emitted a color like a deadly poison, resembling the color of the [Mébius Model].

"Was this soup poisoned? Is my boss, Bronya, trying to kill me?"

One by one, thoughts of the other party plotting something sinister, wanting to steal his money and kill him flooded Xia Yuan's mind, and he felt that he could still struggle a little longer.

Clearly... Bronya was so engrossed in the game that she forgot the soup she prepared for him might have been made several days ago.

"You stupid subordinate, why aren't you drinking? Cough cough... I really can't do anything with you, you're such a grown-up, why do you still need to be fed? But considering that you've woken up from your vegetative state, I'll reluctantly feed you... I'll feed you a little bit."

Bronya took a spoonful of medicine from the pot, gently blew on it to cool it down, and then brought the spoonful to Xia Yuan's lips.

"Come on, Dalang... cough cough, you stupid subordinate, open your mouth and drink the medicine. It's not hot anymore."

But Xia Yuan's tightly closed mouth left Bronya with no way to proceed.

"You stupid subordinate, open your mouth! This is a medicinal soup that Bronya has been brewing for you for three days and three nights with her heavy-duty bunny. Don't let Bronya's good intentions go to waste."

[Angry][Angry][Angry]

An angry expression crept onto Bronya's forehead.

Xia Yuan shook his head repeatedly like a rattle-drum, his expression revealing resistance and reluctance.

"You idiot subordinate, hurry up and open Bronya's mouth. Let Bronya accept this medicine with all her heart!"

Alicia, who was dressed as a cute doll on the room's shelf, shed a rather poignant tear.

"That's clearly Ellie's line!"

Fairy Airi expressed her dissatisfaction in her heart, but considering that the other party was Xia Yuan's boss and a very beautiful girl, the understanding fairy naturally chose to forgive her.

However, Xia Yuan wasn't so lucky.

Under Bronya's relentless combo of "demanding the impossible," with her forced "pinching mouth, then pouring medicine" attack, anyone who didn't know better would think Bronya was playing a video game.

Xia Yuan, who was about to regain consciousness, lay back down on the hospital bed, and a wisp of his soul flew out of his mouth.

[Xia Yuan suddenly passed away. The end of the chapter.]

But the moment Xia Yuan lay back down on the bed, Aunt Mei happened to notice Bronya's confusion.

"That's strange... How come my stupid subordinate collapsed again after drinking the soup? Shouldn't I be full of energy after drinking it? Did Bronya do something wrong? Stupid subordinate... I know you're awake now. Stop pretending to be asleep and get up to play games with Bronya. You're not going to work today."

Bronya shook Xia Yuan's arm, which was gradually turning white.

"Bronya... what did you feed your subordinate just now?"

Aunt Mei ignored Kiana's fuss and went to Bronya's side to ask her what was wrong.

"Oh... it's Mei. I didn't feed her anything, just gave that idiot subordinate some nourishing hot water. See for yourself."

Bronya, like a child waiting for Mei's praise, presented the still-residual broth to Mei. This was the broth she had painstakingly prepared for her foolish subordinate.

Mei isn't the only one at St. Freya Academy who can cook.

Bronya has now been completely transformed into an excellent and qualified adult.

Aunt Mei gently touched the edge of the soup base with her fingertip, put it in her mouth and savored it carefully, then frowned.

"Bronya... I seem to remember that you made this soup the day before yesterday? And the taste of the soup has already gone bad. You just forced your subordinate to drink so much of it. Are you sure he... is really okay?"

Raiden Mei looked at Xia Yuan, who was lying motionless on the hospital bed, and she was mentally prepared to wait another month for questioning.

Chapter 252 No Job Hopping!

"It's gone bad?! How is that possible?!"

Bronya, as if defying all superstition, took a small sip of the broth she had meticulously prepared for her incompetent subordinate, but just as she put it to her lips...

"Cough cough cough..."

A bitter aftertaste lingered at the corners of her mouth, and Bronya seemed to recall that after she finished... she played games all night for three days straight, completely losing track of time.

“Idiot subordinate... Hold on! Kiana, go and call Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla. No... this is too slow. Let’s just push this idiot subordinate over there. Mei, come and lend a hand too.”

Aunt Mei sighed, leaning against the side of the hospital bed, and said:

“Bronya, you’ve changed. You’ve become bossy... and you don’t even want to call Mei-neechan anymore. You only have eyes for your subordinates and don’t appreciate Mei-neechan’s hard work this past month at all.”

Bronya felt a little guilty after Mei said that.

And so... Bronya revealed her signature expression.

【（???）】

Although she did take care of her incompetent subordinate for the past month, she spent most of her time playing games with Kiana. Xia Yuan had an extremely irresponsible boss and an extremely unreliable gaming partner.

Therefore, the responsibility of taking care of Xia Yuan naturally fell to Aunt Mei.

Perhaps it was the affection that developed during the care, or perhaps it was the scent of Alicia emanating from the other person that made Aunt Mei less concerned about the accident that had occurred in the snow.

The favorability rating is slowly rising from its original negative value back to zero.

After many years, the three teamed up again.

Mei and Bronya each pushed one side of the hospital bed, while Kiana stood at the very front. The trio led Xia Yuan toward the temporary laboratory that Dr. Einstein had set up on the train.

The room was quiet at this moment.

Until a certain cute fairy, panting heavily, could no longer maintain her disguise and collapsed on the shelf.

"Ugh... I can finally change positions. Pretending to be a doll is so tiring. This is really not something a fairy should do. Thank you, Xia Yuan. Thank you, Xia. Thank you, Yuan. I also hope Xia Yuan is alright."

Fairy Airi prayed silently for Xia Yuan.

【Love Gate】

Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla, who had been busy for several days, were happily slurping up instant noodles in their makeshift laboratory.

Slurp—slurp—

Until... Duang—

A crisp sound broke the harmony and tranquility that the laboratory should have had.

"What's going on?! What happened?!"

A bewildered Dr. Tesla stared blankly at the three people who had suddenly barged into the laboratory—or rather, four people, with Xia Yuan lying unconscious on the bed.

"Dr. Tesla, there's no time to explain! Quickly save my gaming partner, he seems to be dying."

Compared to Dr. Tesla's panic.

Dr. Einstein, on the other hand, appeared very calm and composed. Having experienced many ups and downs, Dr. Einstein was adept at handling various emergencies.

"I remember that Mr. Xia Yuan's physical damage was not caused by soaking in other worlds. He just needs to rest for a month. Logically speaking, his face should not be so pale."

Dr. Ai Yin came to Xia Yuan's side and examined his body in detail.

"Hmm... You've been lying in a hospital bed for a month, yet your skin is better preserved than a specimen I preserved in formalin. Mr. Xia Yuan, your body is indeed worth studying."

Dr. Ai Yin pressed down on Xia Yuan's arm and said in a serious tone.

"Xia Yuan isn't a specimen, cough cough... Bronya, you need to explain to the two doctors what happened to my game companion that caused her to become like this."

Little Kiana urged.
