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

As Xia Yuan was pondering this, the conference room fell into a long-lost silence. Clearly, Mei, Kiana, and Bronya were all at a loss as to how to reverse the company's current sluggish game sales.

Aunt Mei's goal is to help Xia Yuan collect the imprints of the heroes as much as possible, and awaken Alicia and their memories.

Kiana was thinking...

It's almost lunchtime. I'll have Prometheus bring us something to eat.

Bronya's idea was how to move the game funds openly and legitimately without being discovered by her stupid subordinates and the two doctors.

The things that the three of them were thinking about were all off-topic.

To avoid being hit by Bronya's Hoom doll again, and being electrocuted by Aunt Mei and unable to move, Xia Yuan consciously raised his right hand this time, hoping to attract Bronya's attention.

"Hmm... you idiot subordinate, what good ideas do you have? Let me make it clear first, don't even think about the defeat CG!"

Bronya, as the chief game producer, allowed Xia Yuan to speak.

"Why don't Bronya, Mei, Kiana, you debut as idols? With Bronya as the main performer, and with your popularity, the game cartridges will definitely sell like hotcakes after the show."

"turn down!"

But Bronya suddenly had a change of heart and stared intently at Xia Yuan.

"Why don't you, my stupid subordinate, debut as an idol?"

"Meow meow meow?!"

Under Bronya's persecution and with the consent of Aunt Mei and Kiana, Xia Yuan was forced to become an idol with three votes in favor and no vetoes.

Seeing the three malicious gazes around him, Xia Yuan felt that he could still be saved.

He would never wear his idol's little skirt, absolutely not!

"Come out, Fairy Ellie and Paradise Typewriter, teleport me anywhere!"

As Xia Yuan finished speaking, Fairy Airi and the Paradise Typewriter appeared in front of him. Unlike last time, this time Fairy Airi appeared directly in front of the Paradise Typewriter and kept operating it.

She was constantly adjusting the parameters and configuration of the Paradise Typewriter.

"My dear humans, I've got it all set up. This time, all we need to do is set the keywords, and the typewriter can automatically generate copies, or even take us back in time."

Fairy Airi seemed to really want to avoid Aunt Mei, and this time she was unusually obedient.

"Ellie, hurry... hurry, before Yaya and the others capture me and make me an idol!"

Just then, the fairy Ellie shyly squeezed Yuan Yuan's little hand.

"My dear human, there might be a slight problem with that. This is my first time setting up this typewriter, and I have no idea what might happen..."

"It's okay, even the worst situation can't be worse than this!"

Xia Yuan cheered on Fairy Airi, knowing that only Fairy Airi could save him in this situation. He naturally trusted Fairy Airi completely; otherwise, Bronya, Kiana, and Aunt Mei would drag him and force him to wear a little skirt, debut as an idol, and save the game studio from bankruptcy.

"Hmm... Lovely humans, let's begin. Let the lovely fairies take a look... Right now, all we need for the dungeon is the scene and background setting. The characters will be guest-starring everyone from the Golden Garden. But isn't that a bit too simple?"

Fairy Airi looked at Xia Yuan, waiting for his answer.

"That's better. There's no need to make it too complicated. With my somewhat clumsy little brain and mediocre skills, if a dungeon that requires combat comes up, I'll fall into a deep existential crisis. It's better to let the typewriter play sweet romance and everyday games."

"Hmm~"

This sound gave Xia Yuan a bad feeling.

I have a feeling that a pink glow has reappeared deep in the eyes of the fairy Ellie.

really......

Suspicion of the fairy Ellie is unnecessary, but suspicion of Elishia is absolutely necessary.

What kind of storyline should we create for Xia Yuan?

The fairy Airi fell into deep thought.

Her thoughts even contained one more idea than those of Bronya, Kiana, and Aunt Mei.

This game only considers two factors, which is naturally a piece of cake for the hardworking and capable Alicia. But the thought of her zookeeper performing on stage in the little dress she prepared...

As Alice disguised herself as the fairy Alice, a sense of excitement and pleasure welled up inside her.

"Aili~ My dear Aili~ The most understanding Aili~ Please don't do anything reckless, come and help your caretaker who has raised you for so many years, you absolutely cannot wear that little skirt."

The fairy Ellie winked mischievously at her big, watery eyes.

As Bronya, dressed in professional attire, approached step by step, Xia Yuan grew increasingly anxious.

Having no other choice, Xia Yuan turned his attention to the fairy Ai Li.

"That's easy, Xia Yuan. We don't need to wear short skirts, but we can wear big skirts. After all, short skirts are too tight and definitely not as comfortable as big skirts~~~."

Alicia did not disappoint Xia Yuan's expectations and immediately gave her answer.

Chapter 287 Little Gretchen by the Bed

"????"

Many question marks appeared on Xia Yuan's forehead.

But the fairy Ellie ignored Xia Yuan, and instead gently tapped his head with her magic wand. It had to be said, the sound was quite crisp. Sounds nice, doesn't it? If it sounds nice, it's a good head.

"Ellie, please stop thinking about dressing me in a little skirt... oh no, I mean a big skirt! The most important thing right now is to activate the Paradise Magic Typewriter as soon as possible to teleport me into the game, so that I can get rid of Bronya. Ideally, there should be no fighting, and I should be as popular as possible."

"Hmm, this is actually quite simple, Xia Yuan. Just look at what genres and types of works are popular on the market lately, and we can copy... no, I mean, we can just borrow from them, right?"

The fairy Ellie instantly transformed into the little devil Ellie.

Xia Yuan thought about the popular games on the market recently. There were pure romance games and sweet romance games, but they always had some special storylines at night or in remote places.

hiss……

"Xia Yuan, please stop these unhealthy thoughts in your little brain. They will definitely not pass the test of destiny!"

"This is so troublesome..."

In a mere second, Xia Yuan came up with countless possibilities, but in the end, he settled on the more common theme of a school campus.

"Okay, let's stick with the school setting."

"Hmm~ I knew Xia Yuan would choose the campus."

The fairy Ai Li, standing to the side, seemed certain of Xia Yuan's choice. Only Ai Li truly understood Xia Yuan.

Fairy Airi continued to adjust the Paradise Typewriter, and Xia Yuan also came over. As Fairy Airi pressed the last key, the Paradise Typewriter made a clicking sound of typing.

"Alright, let's begin the game adventure, which is probably the umpteenth time yet!"

Just like last time, the typewriter emitted a dazzling light, once again drawing everyone in.

At this moment, the conference room on the moon became quiet.

……

"Click-click-click, click-click, click—"

No one noticed that the Paradise Typewriter was making an unnatural sound and flashing a purple light. If nothing unexpected happened, the typewriter had malfunctioned again.

During the game teleportation, Xia Yuan faintly heard the voice of the fairy Ai Li, but the other party stopped abruptly before she could finish speaking.

Where is this place?

【Dear human, you are currently in a dream】

Unlike the last teleportation experience, you felt as if your head was about to split open, and the dizziness in your head made your entire brain feel like it was trembling.

You slowly opened your eyes.

Above you, stars twinkle in the dark sky, and a crimson full moon hangs in the air. Its light reflects off the ground, casting a crimson glow that allows you to see your surroundings clearly.

[Countless expeditions and commissions have made you instantly recognize this place as Saint Fontaine, and you are currently in the central square of the city center. However, unlike Sky City, this place is eerily quiet; not a single car or pedestrian can be seen, and even the billboards that should be lit up all night are closed, and the shops are tightly shut.]

Accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the city, you find this desolation somewhat unsettling.

You stopped your thoughts and turned to look at your surroundings.

The city seemed to have suffered a tremendous blow; shattered fragments of buildings floated in the sky, and the crimson full moon seemed to want to devour you, just like the starry sky itself.

[Then, you come into eye contact with a giant machine made up of construction machinery.]

You look at it, it looks at you, you can't understand its language, a giant arm made of architecture smashes down on you, *smack*—you're flattened, and the dream ends.

....

"Brother Xia Yuan, it's time to get up!"

When Xia Yuan opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in bed, and the person pushing him by the bedside was... Little Greta?

Seeing that Xia Yuan had opened his eyes, little Greta blinked.

"No more sleeping! Today is your first day of school, Xia Yuan. Mommy Aponia has already prepared dinner. Get up quickly, no more sleeping in! Otherwise, Gretchen will crawl into bed with you and stay in bed together!"

"That's great? Then I won't get up~"

You are playing Gretchen's older brother, Aponia's adopted son, a high school student about to enter university.

You feel little Gretchen's body nuzzling against you under the covers. Just as she's about to pull the covers off you and drag you off the bed, you decide to slowly get up, deciding to stop teasing the adorable little Gretchen.

Otherwise, things will get messy the moment the blanket is pulled back.

"Okay, okay, Brother Xia Yuan, I understand. I'll get up right away."

Xia Yuan, clutching the blanket tightly, said this to Gretchen.

"Brother Xia Yuan, Mom and I are waiting for you downstairs. Breakfast is ready."

Gretchen smiled upon receiving an affirmative answer.

She skipped and hopped out of Xia Yuan's room, her bare feet making a "thump, thump" sound on the wooden floor, her azure dress fluttering with her steps.

"Is this what it feels like to be woken up by my sister...?"

Xia Yuan stared blankly at Little Gretchen's retreating figure. Having a little sister is like having a treasure. The start of this game seems pretty good, except for that giant machine he just dreamed about that hit him hard.

As these memories were triggered, Xia Yuan rubbed the back of his head, which was slightly aching.

at the same time......

The door to Xia Yuan's room opened again, and Aponia's mother's voice came through.

"Xiao Yuan, are you alright? Is your old headache acting up again? Let me help you relieve it."

Aponia seamlessly adopted the role of a mother, addressing Xia Yuan as she would Seele, and gently inquiring.

"No...it's nothing, I'm actually fine, it's just..."

Before Xia Yuan could finish speaking, he felt as if he were wrapped in a warm embrace.

"Xiao Yuan... if it really doesn't work out, how about we take a day off and not go to school? I'm really worried about your current state."

[Aponia, Mom, embraces you]

A broad mind fills you with happiness, and suddenly you don't want to go to school anymore!

[The way you were enjoying the comfort of gentle caresses made Aponia mistakenly believe that your condition had worsened. Aponia was massaging your temples, trying to ease your pain.]

"It's alright, Aponia, cough cough... Mom?"

Chapter 288 It can only be me, little Gretchen!

[You said you were fine, but your body betrayed you as you enjoyed Aponia's warm fingers. She seemed to notice, and affectionately pinched your cheek.]

Aponia was about to bring you breakfast when you watched her leave, feeling reluctant to let her go.

Meanwhile, you decide to use this time to organize your thoughts.

You look around. The simple tabletop is neatly arranged with various items. However, the walls are covered with portraits, and in one corner sits an easel and various kinds of paints.

There appeared to be a sign hanging on the open room door.

[This is Xia Yuan and Gretchen's private room. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed, except for Aponia's mother.]

Gretchen seems to be asserting her dominance.

Just then, you noticed that the room didn't just have one bed, but also a small bed covered in graffiti. A thought immediately popped into your head: were you and little Greta sharing a room?

You dared not think any further, lest fate bring you to justice.

You are preparing to summon the fairy Airi to learn about the current situation.

"Ellie?"
