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

"Ellie... do you think the version of yourself you're in other worlds is still yourself?"

"Of course it's myself~ Maybe there are some slight differences in personality, body shape and so on compared to myself."

"But they must be very beautiful and charming girls like Airi, such as [Guide Airi], [Chef Airi], and maybe even your favorite [Maid Airi] or [Bunny Girl Airi], Xia Yuan~"

The fairy Ellie's words eased some of the worries that had been weighing on Xia Yuan's heart.

"Is that so... But in my opinion, Ellie, you are one of a kind."

"No matter how beautiful or charming Ellie is in other worlds, she can't compare to you who are by my side. The memories and time we spent together are something that Ellie in other worlds doesn't have. Similarly, Ms. Alexandra's feelings for Bronya are irreplaceable."

"Xia Yuan, you....."

The fairy Ellie threw herself into Xia Yuan's arms, rubbing her little face against his chest, then looked up at Xia Yuan's face and softly said:

"Aili is so happy to hear you say that, Xia Yuan!"

"In that case... Ellie must also use her true abilities to help Xia Yuan realize his wish. Do you still remember the mark that the Pink Fairy gave you to rescue Xia Yuan from the [Extreme Evil] Velvi consciousness space?"

"Aili...you mean that special imprint you have called [True Self]?"

Fairy Ellie nodded seriously and said:

"Hmm~ Since then, the mark of the pink fairy has continued to exist in your body, Xia Yuan. In a sense, that mark also inherits the power of the Herrscher of Man."

Xia Yuan couldn't help but recall the distant pre-civilization era...

It was Alicia who passed on the spark and hope to fight against the Honkai to the next generation, changing their fate and preventing the next Herrscher from being completely swallowed up by the Honkai, thus preserving a part of their consciousness as human beings.

He did not fully understand the powers of the law enforcer.

But the power to change one's destiny is exactly what Xia Yuan needs now.

"During the time it was inside Xia Yuan's body... the energy stored in the imprint should have been enough to bring Bronya's mother back to reality from the past using the typewriter's function, but..."

"Aili, but what?" Xia Yuan quickly asked.

"Waaah, but if that happens, Xia Yuan, you'll need to start accumulating the energy for the engraving all over again!"

"The day to awaken Miss Pink Fairy is going to be even longer. I wish I could wear pretty clothes and go shopping with you, Xia Yuan, and eat some snacks. *sobs*"

The fairy Ellie clasped her hands together, her eyes brimming with tears and a pitiful expression.

Holding the fairy Airi, Xia Yuan asked with some confusion, "Airi...didn't you say that as long as we collect all the Yingjie Imprints, we can awaken you?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Xia Yuan. Collecting all the imprints is only a prerequisite for awakening the Pink Fairy. You also need to complete the prerequisite task to replenish the Fairy Fairy's magical energy."

Xia Yuan had a feeling that he was about to embark on a long mission.

The fairy Airi, who had left Xia Yuan's embrace, flew into the air. A blackboard had appeared beside her, and she was using a magic wand to summarize the steps needed to awaken the pink fairy.

"So, Ellie, are there any prerequisite quests and subsequent conditions for completion?"

Before Xia Yuan could finish speaking, a piece of chalk was caught instinctively just as it was about to reach his brow.

"Xia Yuan, please address me affectionately as Teacher Ai Li, and please raise your hand before asking any questions!"

Following the cute fairy's suggestion, Xia Yuan reluctantly raised his hand.

"So... Ms. Ellie, how can I replenish that so-called... magical energy for the [True Self] imprint?"

"Of course, I'd go on a date with a pretty and cute girl!"

"The more the other party is moved by it, the more magical energy will be replenished. So Xia Yuan did this to save the people who are no longer here and to awaken the pink fairy from her slumber."

"Go ahead and go on dates with the girls! Ellie has already thoughtfully found your first target, Xia Yuan~ How about starting with the simplest one—the cute little Gretchen?"

For some reason, Xia Yuan really wanted to call the emergency number.

The Valkyrie of Destiny captured this frivolous fairy whose mind was filled with wild fantasies and dreams of dating pretty girls. She even went after little Gretchen...

Suddenly—

"Brother Xia Yuan, don't you like little Greta? (Sad~)"

Xia Yuan recalled how little Gretchen affectionately called him "Brother Xia Yuan," and how pure and innocent her eyes and petite figure were. He patted his cheeks, trying to wake himself from his reverie.

He must not be tempted by the fairy Ellie's words and fall into depravity.

"Calm down... Xia Yuan, you must stay calm. Lady Alexandra is still waiting for you to save her, and Bronya is still hoping for good news from you. Don't let Ellie's words affect you."

Xia Yuan took a deep breath, calming the turmoil in his heart.

In order not to let the fairy Airi see through his disguise, he calmly said:

"We'll talk about replenishing the so-called [magical energy] later. The most urgent thing is to bring Bronya's mother, Lady Alexandra, back. Ellie... tell me how to use the power of the [True Self] imprint."

"Hmm~ Then let's take it as Xia Yuan agreeing~"

"After we get back... Miss Pink Fairy will set up various scenes and prepare tips and guides for your date with Little Gretchen, Xia Yuan, to help you win over Little Gretchen and touch her heart."

Xia Yuan coughed lightly a few times...

He really wants to send the fairy Ellie to the Destiny headquarters for some modifications.

Chapter 356 When a shooting star streaks across the sky, remember to make a wish!

But for the sake of Bronya and Ms. Alexandra, Xia Yuan silently tolerated Ai Li's strange ideas deep in his heart.

Just then, the pure and innocent fairy Airi extended her small, round, pink hand.

Xia Yuan sensed that something seemed to be quietly emerging from his body; a special imprint called "True Self" hovered above the two of them.

It radiated a dazzling, gorgeous color, appearing before Xia Yuan and the fairy Ai Li.

"Xia Yuan, close your eyes and make a wish. The pink fairy will hear your wish and help you fulfill it~"

"Okay, okay~ Christmas Ellie with the white beard."

Taking advantage of her inattention, Xia Yuan casually grabbed a snowball and gently placed it on either side of the fairy Ellie's face, resembling two white whiskers. The pink fairy's thoughts were also very pure: whatever she had... the other person had to have too.

And so—

Two Santa Clauses with white beards appeared on the snow-covered plain.

Looking at each other, they seemed like perfectly in sync, and both of them simultaneously clutched their stomachs and laughed.

After a while, the echoing laughter gradually faded away.

Fairy Airi slowly spoke:

"Hmm... Xia Yuan, you've finally relaxed your tense heart. That's good."

"No matter what happens, Ellie will always be by your side and always be your support. But please rely on Miss Pink Fairy a little more and don't carry everything alone. Otherwise, even Miss Pink Fairy will feel lonely and lost. Now let's make a wish."

Accompanied by the fairy Airi's light and ethereal voice.

Xia Yuan gradually emptied his mind and closed his eyes without reservation. In his heart, he hoped and longed for a better future for Bronya's mother, Ms. Alexandra.

That moment —

The flawless imprint shone with an unprecedented brilliance...

While the Corruptor Lady, hiding inside the typewriter, was in a daze, the mark called "True Self" seemed to have been forcibly inserted into her body, merging with it and becoming one with it.

【Cute humans, what's going on here?】

What on earth did that wicked fairy do? Damn it... I tried my best to hide my presence deep in the hidden corner of the typewriter, but that wretched fairy still found me!

[Unexpectedly, the revenge plan was thwarted before it could even be implemented...]

[Sobbing, farewell, dear human. I hope to see you again in the next life, to be your bride, and to never see this wicked fairy stealing my man again.]

Wait... something seems off?!

[What exactly was that foreign object that wicked fairy forcibly shoved into my body? I have a feeling that Honkai energy is flowing continuously throughout my body.]

Wait... isn't now the perfect time for revenge?!

Such a massive amount of Honkai energy was enough for her to eliminate that annoying thing. Just as the Herrscher of Corruption was about to extend her evil claws towards the fairy Ellie, she finally realized that something was wrong.

Honkai energy continued to flow into his body from that imprint.

[Wait... lovely human, stop making wishes on that mark! Stop it now, or I'll be filled up!]

Despite the Herrscher of Corruption continuously printing and scattering papers on Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan remained unmoved. He had only one goal in mind—to help Bronya fulfill her wish.

No... it's too late.

It's about to overflow...

[That wretched fairy! I never expected her to use such a despicable method to get rid of me. I, the Corruptor Herrscher, will remember this grudge! Ugh!]

The Herrscher of Corruption, attached to the typewriter, was infused with a large amount of Honkai energy, causing her consciousness to become impaired... She gradually fell into a coma, her body and mind reaching their peak simultaneously.

at the same time

The Herrscher was corrupted by injecting a large amount of Honkai energy into the typewriter, causing her to fall into a coma. After fusing with Iris's [True Self] imprint, she was enveloped in a layer of pink, dreamlike substance.

It carried the typewriter away into the distance, its speed increasing until it gradually transformed into a shooting star.

Remember to make a wish when a shooting star streaks across the sky!

Centered on Xia Yuan... everything around seemed to be enveloped in a dreamlike, hazy color, and the fleeting shooting star seemed to be responding to Xia Yuan's prayer.

It surpasses the speed of sound, the speed of light, time, and even heaven...

In a burst of dazzling light... it seemed as if all things in the world were absorbed into that shooting star, an endless source, like the origin of a black hole.

"Little Xia Yuan... when you wake up again, everything will unfold and continue as you've hoped. Miss Pink Fairy also needs to rest for a while... um... I used up a lot of energy just now. Goodnight, Little Xia Yuan, sweet dreams~"

Ellie the fairy stretched and yawned with her eyes half-closed.

With her last remaining consciousness, she kissed Xia Yuan's forehead. The fairy Ai Li, having exhausted all her strength, looked somewhat tired, and her little wings, which were still fluttering, stopped working because of her little master's fatigue.

And so... Fairy Airi fell into Xia Yuan's arms, nestled against his chest, and fell into a deep sleep.

Everything converged and merged within the black hole formed by that meteor.

Time seemed to be accelerating... The surface of Xia Yuan was gradually covered by a thick layer of ice, and here, Xia Yuan seemed to have lost the concept of time and space.

I don't know how much time had passed, but I could faintly hear a series of powerful footsteps approaching.

"Hey... Chicken Hair, hurry up and bring the stretcher over. We finally found him based on Bronya's location coordinates. We've come all the way to Siberia, but the landscape has changed so much that this rescue mission feels more like an excavation of some ancient fossil site."

Dr. Tesla waved the flag in his hand, gesturing to Dr. Ein, who was not far away.

"From a certain perspective, Dr. Tesla, we are indeed conducting paleontological excavation work now."

"Stop talking nonsense, you messy-haired guy, quickly control the mech and dig Xia Yuan out of the ice!"

Subsequently, several anti-entropy mechs systematically carried out mining and ice-breaking work on Xia Yuan and the fairy Ai Li, who were frozen inside the ice sculpture.

Chapter 357 Dr. Ain's Salvage Operation

"Dr. Tesla, we've only been here for three days."

"It's already great news that we were able to find Mr. Xia Yuan in such a short time. The landforms here in Siberia have not been buried underground by glaciers, avalanches and other factors. Otherwise, we would have been prepared to dig hundreds of kilometers down for a month-long mining operation."

"What?! I don't want to stay here for a month!"

Dr. Tesla shivered from the cold wind. If it weren't for Bronya's explanation... about changing history and such, they wouldn't have come all this way to find Xia Yuan.

"Xia Yuan is really reckless. His stubbornness and madness are almost on par with that man Otto."

Dr. Tesla muttered to herself, all she wanted now was to dig Xia Yuan out of the ice as soon as possible and get back to her modified temperature-controlled laboratory.

Dr. Aiyin held a completely different view on this compared to Dr. Tesla.

Although it is unknown what specific methods the other party used to bring Bronya's mother back to the present.

But there is no doubt that Mr. Xia Yuan has deceived the entire world and even avoided the historical changes caused by the contraction of the world line. I really want to ask him about it when he wakes up.

"But the outcome was good, wasn't it... Dr. Tesla?"

Dr. Tesla scoffed in dissatisfaction; of course, she also had many questions for Xia Yuan.

After all, the overloaded Black Abyss White Flower prevented her from aging, and she certainly missed her friends who had fought alongside her. However, due to her personality, Dr. Tesla was as dishonest as ever.

She tapped the ice covering Xia Yuan's body with the back of her hand, making a crisp sound, and turned around to ask, "Hey... Chicken Hair, after being frozen for so long, is Xia Yuan really still alive?"

"Of course Mr. Xia Yuan is still alive and well, frozen under the ice layer, having traveled from the past to the present."

"It can be described as a natural cryo-chamber. In addition, Mr. Xia Yuan himself has the blessing of the Holy Mark. As long as we help him melt the surface ice layer, he will naturally be able to wake up after a period of rest."

Dr. Ai Yin kept a close eye on the life signs and fluctuations of the individual [Xia Yuan] displayed on the virtual screen in front of her.

"Now that we've retrieved him from the ice hole, what are we waiting for? Let's take Xia Yuan back quickly... Once he wakes up, I'm going to give him a good lesson and make him understand the importance of the two doctors."
