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

"A helper, the Valkyrie?"

Xia Yuan asked the chief administrator with some anticipation.

“That’s right. According to my estimate, we need at least three more righteous allies to rescue Ai-chan. Please wait a moment.”

After the chief administrator finished speaking, she skillfully typed a few lines of code and commands on the console, quickly browsing through the segments of data that had not yet been tampered with that appeared in the window.

"Hmm... anomaly, anomaly, another anomaly. Hmm, found it! The data for three Valkyries is still complete, but there seems to be a minor bug in the data... but it shouldn't be a big problem, maybe we can call it."

Xia Yuan came over and asked:

"Miss Administrator, have you found any help?"

Ai-Ei Hyperion nodded. "However, in order to make contact with them, we must first go to specific coordinates. Without further ado, let's set off now, Mr. Xia Yuan."

A device resembling a teleportation portal appeared from the side.

If you look closely, the portal also features images of Kiana from her days as a ranger and an endless workbook.

You have passed through the portal.

As the brilliance of the data deluge fades, a more realistic light gradually fills your vision.

At the same time, your skin also detects changes in ambient temperature, as well as sensations of wind, the sound of water, and even the fragrance of flowers and plants that were not present in the data space earlier...

"This...this is St. Freya Academy?!"

Xia Yuan rubbed his eyes as if he couldn't believe the sight of the academy in front of him.

“Mr. Xia Yuan, this is the location indicated by the coordinates. The timing is just right; our first helper [she] should be arriving soon.”

"Hey, isn't that the silly bug~"

Xia Yuan followed the chief administrator's gaze and saw Kiana standing before him.

"Yes, Domain Armor: White Comet, Kiana's original Valkyrie armor. Next, I will restore her data as a usable character."

However, a hint of helplessness was revealed in Xia Yuan's nostalgic expression.

The silly bug is wearing the Valkyrie armor in the [White Comet Form], which means all the training was in vain.

Could such armor really defeat the Honkai Beasts? Moreover, the White Comet Armor is a mechanical type, which is countered by Honkai Beasts with a supernatural attribute. Xia Yuan had serious doubts about this.

But having something is better than having nothing, right?

"Miss Administrator, let's make that silly bug our ally of justice!"

Xia Yuan urged.

However, the chief administrator, Ms. Ai, stopped Xia Yuan, who was eager to try, and signaled him not to be impatient.

"Boss, things aren't that simple. Have you noticed how familiar this scene looks?"

As soon as the chief administrator finished speaking, Kiana, clad in white armor, stood to one side, hands on her hips, muttering to herself...

"Sigh, the Valkyrie exam is coming up again. Theresa will definitely have Himeko arrange tutoring for me again."

Xia Yuan seemed to recall the current plot.

At this time, Kiana was still so innocent and naive, always clamoring to drink Mei's silly bug, and always failing her exams. This is the story of the girl when she was studying at St. Freya Academy.

"The so-called coordinates refer to a complete plot that records character information, allowing me to extract data from it for reconstruction. However, the damage caused by the Herrscher of Corruption to the game space and database has resulted in some incompleteness in this plot."

As the chief administrator spoke, her figure suddenly became somewhat ethereal and unstable.

"What should we do then?"

Just as Xia Yuan was questioning the chief administrator, Kiana emerged from a side space. When she saw Xia Yuan and her past self, Kiana exclaimed in surprise, "Eh, how come there's another me..."

Kiana touched her brain, which had long been eaten by the insects, and looked at Xia Yuan with some confusion, hoping that her game partner could give her a reasonable explanation.

"Um... Bug, to put it simply, we are currently in the game [Honkai Impact 3]."

Xia Yuan explained in a way that Kiana could understand.

"Oh... so that's how it is. But why is the other me standing there like an idiot, not moving at all?"

It's unclear whether Kiana understood or not. At this moment, she was curiously looking at her past self, waving her hand in front of the other person. But when Kiana was about to touch her past self, her hand seemed to pass through a layer of data.

Chapter 295 Hey, she's turned into Theresa?

"Xia Yuan~~~"

Kiana looked at her game partner with a puzzled expression again, pleading for a reasonable explanation.

Why did my hand pass through the other person's hand...?

“Mr. Xia Yuan, let me tell Kiana.”

Just then, Chief Administrator Ai answered Kiana's question for Xia Yuan.

"Oh~ I remember now, you're the one from that battle on the moon, the one... uh, I think you were the Hyperion battleship that became the mascot?"

Kiana touched her ponytail and said shyly, "Silly bug is as oblivious as ever."

"Hmm... that makes sense in a way, I am indeed the AI ​​of the Hyperion."

After a moment...

After the chief administrator's explanation, Kiana stretched her body, ready to show off her skills.

"Then what are we waiting for? How can we get my past self moving again? I can't wait to see my old self back in St. Freya Academy. I miss it a little."

Kiana looked at her past self with a hint of anticipation.

"It's very simple. It's about manually patching things up to make the plot progress smoothly. This requires Mr. Xia Yuan's active involvement!"

The chief administrator stared intently at Xia Yuan.

"I?!"

Xia Yuan pointed to himself, then looked at Kiana on the side. Wasn't Kiana's real self right here? Why did he need to be the one to make a scene?

As if she could read Xia Yuan's mind, the chief administrator presented him with a stream of data.

“Mr. Xia Yuan, as you can see, this is Kiana’s data. A dark green color is constantly eroding it. It is clear that her data has also been corrupted. Only your data, Mr. Xia Yuan, remains intact.”

"Is only my data intact?"

You belong to me—both your heart and your body.

I will erode you again and again!

Xia Yuan suddenly remembered what the Corruption Herrscher had said to him in the corridor when she pushed him down, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Mr. Xia Yuan, Mr. Xia Yuan, are you alright?"

Seeing Xia Yuan looking lost in thought, the chief administrator called out softly from the side.

"I...I'm fine!"

It seemed that the target of the Corruptor Lady was himself from the very beginning, and Xia Yuan quickly waved his hands to indicate that everything was normal.

"That's good... I'll give you instructions on the specific actions later, Mr. Xia Yuan. In short, let's follow Kiana from before. To prevent her from noticing our presence, I'll temporarily activate the invisibility function."

As Xia Yuan followed the Chief Administrator and the former Kiana, his hands seemed to be trembling instinctively. He wondered if he should eat some goji berries to replenish his body if he was caught by Shi Bao.

Just then, a series of red alarms sounded from somewhere.

"What happened? What happened? Has a Honkai Beast appeared?!"

Xia Yuan quickly hid behind Kiana. With the almost invincible Moon Bug by his side, no one could hurt him in the slightest.

Kiana shook her head, and said shyly:

"Um... Xia Yuan, actually I suddenly realized that I seem to have lost my ability to fight. It's like when we play games and there are NPCs. I can only watch quietly and I can't fight."

"what?!"

Doesn't this mean that Kiana at this moment is not as good as the White-faced Insect from St. Freya Academy?

“Mr. Xia Yuan, this is not a Honkai Beast appearing, but rather an NPC data loss. Theresa, who was supposed to be waiting in front to talk to Kiana, has had her data corrupted.”

The chief administrator continued somewhat anxiously:

"Mr. Xia Yuan, hurry, please get to the designated location before Kiana does."

Although he didn't know what was going on, the urgency of the situation made Xia Yuan obediently follow the instructions of the chief administrator and come to the designated location.

Then Xia Yuan's gaze suddenly dropped.

Looking at the nun's habit he was wearing and the slender little hands that were completely different from his own, Xia Yuan realized something: he seemed to have become Theresa, and even the surprise in his voice was exactly the same as Theresa's.

Theresa (Xia Yuan) covered her head with both hands, looking very surprised. He didn't want to become Theresa!

"Mr. Xia Yuan, then I'll trouble you to play the role of Principal Theresa."

"Huh? Hey! I've never heard of such a thing!"

But when Xia Yuan saw the administrator and Kiana again, their eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Go for it, my gaming partner! I believe you can definitely play the role of the headmistress well!"

Kiana encouraged her.

Xia Yuan prefers playing the role of Aunt Mei from the past to Theresa.

After all, she was bigger... cough cough... he meant that the old Mei was gentler, and if all else failed, the old Kiana was also good. Theresa was just too petite. Even the thoughts in his mind were gradually turning into bitter gourd juice. No, if this continued, he would never be able to go back.

Just as Xia Yuan was trying to shake off the thought of drinking bitter melon juice, the former Kiana had already arrived at Xia Yuan's side from not far away.

"Theresa! What a coincidence, I... I was just getting ready for class..."

Looking at the somewhat guilty girl in front of him, it was clear that the former "insect" wasn't even very good at lying. But now he had no choice but to try anything. "I'm Theresa, I'm Theresa, I'm Theresa..."

Xia Yuan held his head and kept trying to hypnotize himself.

Theresa (Xia Yuan): "Ahem... Hi, Kiana, it's good that you're here. Hurry up and go to class!"

Xia Yuan thought that the flustered girl would feel relieved and run away after hearing this, but he didn't expect that the former Kiana would stand there, looking down and carefully examining him.

"Wait, Auntie, what's wrong with you today?!"

Kiana, mistakenly thinking Theresa might be feeling unwell, leaned closer.

"Huh? No...nothing's wrong, Kiana, why are you so close!"

"No...did I say something wrong that made Qibao feel uncomfortable? Let me think, let me think..."

Xia Yuan kept reflecting on whether he had overlooked anything just now.

Theresa (Xia Yuan): Ahem, right, there's one more thing I need to remind Kiana. You just called me "Theresa" again, didn't you?!

Chapter 296 A Wave of Delicious Virus is Coming

Theresa (Xia Yuan): How many times have I told you, Kiana, again and again, not to call me Theresa or Auntie at the academy, but to respectfully address me as Headmistress, understand?!

Xia Yuan, mimicking Theresa's tone, scolded the former Kiana, and then, as if it were natural, grabbed Kiana's ear.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Auntie Period, let go! I know I was wrong."

"Huh? Kiana, what did you just call me?"

"Headmistress, my dearest headmistress, if you keep pulling like that, your adorable niece's ear will break! How can you bear to do that...?"

Hearing this, Xia Yuan reluctantly let go of her hand.

Kiana rubbed her ear in pain, but kept muttering to herself.

"What, Theresa is still the same as usual... Honestly, why should I make myself uncomfortable?"

"Kiana, I heard you! Looks like you want to drink bitter melon juice with me. I just prepared some fresh bitter melon juice."

Theresa (Xia Yuan) pulled Kiana along as they headed towards the restaurant at St. Freya Academy.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, I don't want to drink bitter melon juice made by Auntie's period! Cough cough... My dearest Principal Theresa, please, just let me off this time~"

Kiana said coquettishly.

Seeing Kiana's expression, you decide to press your advantage.

"Kiana, you should remember that the Valkyrie exam is the day after tomorrow, right?"

"I remember... that dreaded Valkyrie exam, it's hard to forget it even if I wanted to."

Theresa (Xia Yuan): Don't worry, I've already asked Himeko-sensei to give you a last-minute cram session so you won't fail the exam.

"Tutoring?! Does a genius like me need tutoring?"
