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

"Well..."

Bronya found it difficult to say; she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Never mind... I'll tell you. Bronya's subordinates have fallen ill with food poisoning."

Aunt Mei looked at her two former friends, who were now like a mudslide that couldn't be propped up, causing her great distress and worry about the future of these two internet-addicted girls.

"Food poisoning? What did you feed Mr. Xia Yuan?"

Dr. Ai Yin looked up and asked.

"Cough cough... It was just a little soup, who knew that my stupid subordinate was so fragile, he just collapsed after being fed it."

Bronya replied, though her argument was unconvincing.

"Hey, wait a minute, Bronya, I seem to remember you feeding Xia Yuan the whole pot of it?"

Bronya didn't say anything, but silently used whatever she could find to shut Kiana up.

Don't say things you shouldn't say.

"So that's what happened... Dr. Tesla, please stop eating instant noodles and come help us. We need to pump Mr. Xia Yuan's stomach while there's still time."

Dr. Ein put down the receiver and called out to Dr. Tesla, who was still sitting in his seat.

"Okay, okay, chicken-meat bun... don't rush me, it's almost the last bite, at least let me finish it, slurp~"

The laboratory was transformed into a red emergency rescue site.

After about a week of intensive care by the two doctors, Xia Yuan opened his eyes again from his hospital bed. However, when he saw Bronya in front of him, it was as if some kind of traumatic emergency response was triggered.

"I want to switch jobs!"

(???)

This is what Bronya's expression looked like when she hadn't yet reacted.

She was thinking of apologizing to her stupid subordinate. Although Dr. Ai Yin said that the other party might have some degree of psychological trauma when he woke up, she did not expect that the first thing her stupid subordinate wanted to do after waking up was to quit his job.

This made Bronya swallow back the words of apology she was about to say.

“That would be wonderful, Mr. Xia Yuan. Here is the Destiny Contract I specially prepared for you. As long as you sign your name on the contract, you don’t need to worry about anything else. Rita will take care of everything for you.”

Rita, dressed in a maid outfit adorned with roses, leaned over the bed and placed a contract in front of Xia Yuan with a smile.

Xia Yuan subconsciously raised his somewhat stiff hand.

Just as he was about to put his fingerprints and handprints on the contract... Bronya snatched it away with lightning speed, ruthlessly tearing Xia Yuan's happy future in two.

Chapter 253 Hmm~ Guess who I am

"Stupid subordinates are not allowed to quit, and Rita, what are you doing here?"

Bronya stared at her with a hostile expression...

The maid in front of him was lying next to his stupid subordinate's bed, trying to poach her.

stare--

“As a maid, isn’t it only natural for Rita to appear when her master happens to need help? You agree, Ms. Bronya.”

Rita chuckled.

"That's not right at all."

Bronya decided to temporarily take Xia Yuan to a separate small room to prepare her foolish subordinate mentally, as she wanted to ruthlessly cut off his desire to switch jobs.

Driven by the invincible spiral behind her.

Before that, she needed to get rid of the troublesome woman dressed as a maid. Bronya locked Xia Yuan, who was on the hospital bed, in a small room that she had carefully decorated.

"You stupid subordinate, stay inside and behave yourself until I come in. Don't you dare wander off anywhere, understand?"

Xia Yuan nodded subconsciously.

"Ahem... As long as you, my silly subordinate, behave yourself and don't think about things like job hopping or other messy stuff in your little head, you'll get good job benefits and cookies."

First give me a club, then give me a carrot.

Bronya, as if coaxing a child, touched Xia Yuan's now-normal curly hair, then slammed the door shut. The sound of chains locking the door could be faintly heard from outside.

Of course, there was also the sound of Bronya and Rita arguing heatedly.

But should Xia Yuan believe Bronya's words? That's a question open to debate.

Just then, a pair of small hands covered Xia Yuan's eyes from behind.

"Little Xia Yuan, guess who I am. If you guess right, I'll reward you with a flying kiss from a cute fairy."

"Of course, if I guess wrong, the cute fairy will give you a good kick in the butt, Xia Yuan. The cute fairy assures you, you will definitely not like the feeling of that flying kick."

Behind him, Ai Li had already given Xia Yuan the answer in her words. Xia Yuan didn't want to be kicked by the fairy Ai Li for nothing, after all, his physical injuries caused by food poisoning had just healed.

"Of course it's Airi~"

Xia Yuan pried open the other person's small hand and replied in this way.

"Hmm~ You got it right. Here's a kiss from the cute fairy as a reward for your recovery from your serious illness."

The fairy Airi came up to Xia Yuan and pressed her lips to his cheek.

Then... she pressed herself tightly against him, but a red lipstick mark remained on Xia Yuan's cheek. This was, of course, a prank by Alicia.

If Bronya or someone else comes in later, how will Xia Yuan explain it?

"Ellie...you call that a flying kiss?"

Xia Yuan could even feel that the other person wanted to rub their lips against his face, but he was now immune to it.

"Yes, it's a kiss from a cute fairy! Doesn't it make your heart flutter?"

"No...it felt like someone had smeared a giant radish on my face."

"Sobbing, sobbing, waaaaah... Xia Yuan, you've changed. You're no longer the gentle caretaker who doted on Ai Li. My Yuan... What did you go through in the World Bubble to turn you into this cold and heartless person? Waaaaah."

The fairy Ellie burst into tears, wiping her red and swollen eyes with a small pink handkerchief.

Xia Yuan thought about it carefully and realized that he hadn't experienced anything in other worlds, except for a taste of being a detective... He remembered there was a woman who looked a lot like Rita.

"Hmm... Airi from another world, you seem to be a train conductor."

Upon hearing her name, the fairy Ellie excitedly pressed for an answer:

"Is she as beautiful as me? Is she as pretty as me? Do we both have long, flowing pink hair? Does she have elf-like ears? And Xia Yuan, did you have a romantic encounter with her? Quick, tell Ai Li, Ai Li loves to hear it~!"

At this moment, Ellie's mind was like it contained a book of "100,000 Whys".

"No, not really... we just happened to run into each other during a case."

Driven by Ai Li's curiosity, Xia Yuan recounted his experiences in another world bubble in detail.

After a while, the potato chips in Ellie's hand were completely empty.

Xia Yuan, who had been pestered by Ai Li to tell him a bunch of stories about his adventures in another world, slumped onto the table in the room, feeling utterly hopeless.

Upon closer inspection, the room's layout seems exactly the same as her own studio's. This deliberate creation of the atmosphere shows that YaYa really put thought into it...

Xia Yuan fiddled with the detective medal in his hand.

He had just found this on his person by chance, so it had some sentimental and collectible value.

"Ellie, what should I do next?"

Bronya locked herself in her room, not knowing what she was going to do, but it was estimated that the argument between Bronya and Rita outside the door wouldn't stop anytime soon.

"Hmm~ Hiccup~ Of course, it's a romantic vacation trip to Mount Taixu!"

Ellie, who had eaten her fill of snacks, let out a burp.

And the pink fairy, having eaten and drunk her fill...

While repairing her unruly Paradise Typewriter, upon hearing Xia Yuan's words, the fairy Ellie stopped using her magic wand as a hammer and circled the languid Xia Yuan twice and twice more.

"Hmm, Xia Yuan, if you're bored, why not help the cute fairy fix her typewriter? It just so happens that Miss Pink Fairy needs a hardworking and capable little helper~"

Xia Yuan tapped on the brand-new game console and said:

“Oh, I think you should ask Hua for this job, dear Ms. Ellie. I’m sure she can satisfy you with her invincible inch-force technique, at least without damaging the physical aspects of the typewriter.”

【protest!】

The Corruption Herrscher, clinging to the typewriter, trembled and vehemently protested this immoral behavior.

Sheets of paper covered with the word "protest" were continuously printed out.

"Well... everyone is probably waiting for us near Mount Taixu right now. After all, while you were unconscious, I had already arranged for everyone to go to Mount Taixu in advance, so I could give you a surprise."

"Is that so? No wonder I didn't see my little angel Seele on the train."

Xia Yuan thought to himself.

Recalling the series of encounters that occurred before World Bubble, when I was chased by a horde of snakes...

Chapter 254 I want to see Bronya's defeat CG!

Xia Yuan sat in his seat and stretched.

But constantly reminiscing... doesn't seem to alleviate my current somewhat bored state.

Looking around, the surroundings were unusually quiet.

"Is this office, which YaYa specially decorated, soundproof?"

Xia Yuan was somewhat flustered.

Apart from himself and a certain gluttonous Ellie, there was no one else around. Xia Yuan grabbed the rare Houmu doll that his boss Bronya had kept in the room and began to fondle its long ears.

He wanted to ease his nervousness in this way.

"Xia Yuan, how about we make or play another game using a typewriter? We still have plenty of time, so how about we play another fun and exciting game?"

Ellie said this upon seeing this.

Xia Yuan slowly put down the ravaged Houmu doll.

He wasn't sure if Bronya would come and beat him up when she returned and saw this inhuman-looking Homura doll.

"Ellie, what game should we play? And let's make it clear, no weird or weird games!"

"Hmm~ Miss Pink Fairy isn't that kind of fairy who likes to play tricks on people."

Fairy Airi put her hands on her hips and raised her cute, soft little chin.

"You'd be a fool to believe Aili!"

Xia Yuan said he didn't believe Ai Li's nonsense and that he had been tricked by her more than a hundred times.

"Hehehe~ Let me think about it carefully, Xiao Xia Yuan, how about we make a side-scrolling fighting game?"

Thinking of...

He might encounter all sorts of strange Honkai Beasts, and he might also run into the almost invincible Lady Youlan, who could pierce him with her Black Abyss White Flower... Xia Yuan decisively rejected Ai Li's idea.

"turn down!"

"So... what about an open world?"

“Aili, you’re right, but—this is also not allowed! In another world far away, there are already people working part-time there. Are we going to go and cause trouble? Hmm…maybe it’s another Aili.”

Miss Pink Fairy's proposal was rejected again.

The aura of the fairy Ellie, who had been repeatedly opposed, was visibly rising. Just as Ellie was about to pull out her heavy 80kg magic wand, Xia Yuan quickly spoke up to appease her.

"Um... cough cough, let me think about it some more. The smartest fan, Miss Fairy, will definitely come up with a fantastic game."

"Ahem, since Xia Yuan has put it that way, then the understanding Pink Fairy Miss will have to think of another way. How about letting Ai Li think of a romantic love game?"

"Aili, do you want me to go on a date with a Honkai Beast?"

"Well, if Xia Yuan wants to, it's not impossible."

This time it was Xia Yuan, and his resentment and bitterness were gradually rising.

"Oh dear, Xia Yuan, don't get so excited. Ai Li was just making a suggestion. Actually, what Ai Li wanted to say was that making a battle match-3 game would be quite nice."

"Should we add magical girl elements? The idea is good, but I refuse."
