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

She then shook her head in denial, not believing that the slight tremor of her fingertips was an illusion; she assumed her foolish subordinate was also trying to respond to her.

"Really... Xia Yuan, you're such an idiot."

"His hard work made Bronya suddenly realize that he wasn't her stupid subordinate anymore."

"Once you wake up, you can touch me as much as you want with your fingers, you silly subordinate. Now, just rest well. Kiana is making a fuss on the moon, rolling around without you to play games with. Everyone's hoping you'll wake up soon, you silly subordinate~"

【Duck, you... After I wake up, I'll definitely slack off and won't let you down. I'll do my best to bring my boss home as payment for my debt~】

suddenly--

A comic book in a bamboo basket on the table beside the hospital bed caught Bronya's attention.

“I remember when I came here yesterday, this bamboo basket wasn’t here yet.”

"It must be a gift that Yu Tu or someone else brought to visit your stupid subordinate, right? It looks like there's quite a lot in the bamboo basket. You're quite popular, you stupid subordinate."

Bronya said with a hint of sourness, unconsciously picking up the dark blue comic book in her hand.

Wait, duckling, please don't open that comic book in the bamboo basket!

No matter how much Xia Yuan shouted in his heart, the rustling sound of pages turning in his ears filled his mind and refused to dissipate...

He can't go back; he's completely finished.

Why does everyone who comes to the ward have to open that comic book that Pado brought? What's so appealing about it...? He really wanted to know too. Damn it, his heart felt like it was being scratched by a can of food.

"Guess what Bronya discovered? So this is the little blue book you, my silly subordinate, were secretly hiding away!"

This is slander, a blatant act of defamation!

"Just kidding~ But if you, my silly subordinate, were to wake up now, you would probably say that this is slander against you and refute Bronya. Bronya knows you too well."

【….】

Xia Yuan remained silent, but Bronya continued talking to herself:

"It's strange. I've never found similar books in your desk drawer or secret compartment, you idiot subordinate. But who could have sent them? Someone with your idiot subordinate's personality would probably just hide such things in a secret corner at home, or perhaps secretly put them in the studio where no one can find them."

He wouldn't secretly read such books during work hours, much less bring them to the workplace. And randomly opening a subordinate's drawer is hardly the behavior of a good boss!

Perhaps because of the shout in his heart, Xia Yuan's fingertips twitched again, but Bronya was watching with great interest and completely ignored the subtle details around her.

"Why do the characters on these pages look a bit like Mei? No, it seems like they were drawn based on Mei, from the clothing to the leg rings they use as decorations, they are almost identical."

After a while—

After nearly finishing the book, Bronya realized a very serious problem.

Why does Mei appear in the book but not her? Or is it that the foolish subordinate prefers Mei more than her, which is why she's not in the book?

"You idiot subordinate, why are there only Mei's illustrations in the book, and not Bronya's?"

For some reason, Bronya revealed what was on her mind.

[Duck, it's normal that there's no content about you in the book!]

[Shouldn't I feel relieved...? Why am I angry because there's no content about myself in the book? I should just skim through those frivolous comic books when I wake up, then treasure them... no, I should burn them completely!]

She's very unhappy right now. The fact that Mei is the only one there, and not her, only proves that Mei holds a much higher position in her foolish subordinate's heart. Her subordinate of many years is about to be lured away by her best friend, and to make matters worse, the other woman has even taken away the armed doll that was always by her subordinate's side...

This was already a sign that the child was about to be abducted, and it was indeed a serious dereliction of duty on the part of the superior.

But Bronya thought again, perhaps the person who gave the book to her idiot subordinate only knew Mei... and not her, which is why there was no content about her in the manga.

Upon closer inspection...

Most of the women depicted in the book were women she had once met by chance at a ham restaurant when she was searching for her foolish subordinate who had been carried off by a big cat.

They were mostly mature and beautiful women. If she hadn't shown up in time, who knows what her stupid subordinate would have planned to do with them after dinner? But Bronya didn't think she would lose to them.

Whether it's her figure or other aspects... well, for example, her best game~

Chapter 363 Doctor, what are you saying, Doctor!

Ultimately, the ownership of a foolish subordinate should be determined through a game.

A romantic comedy where gaming experts never lose.

Tread-tap-

Just as Bronya was secretly cheering herself on, determined not to lose to her foolish subordinate who was secretly meeting with other women... Dr. Ai Yin, dressed in a white coat and preparing to conduct a routine check-up on Xia Yuan, slowly walked into the laboratory ward.

slam-la-

The toolbox she was carrying made a creaking sound.

Dr. Aiyin slowly walked towards Bronya and Xia Yuan, carrying a large toolbox filled with unidentified items. However, a chainsaw and a small whip were vaguely visible inside the toolbox...

It was as if it was telling Bronya something.

Dr. Aiyin wasn't there to give her stupid subordinate a physical examination; it was more like she was performing a body dissection.

"It's time for the routine check-up. Looks like I've come at the wrong time? Sorry to bother you, Bronya. Please continue."

Just as Dr. Ein was about to turn and leave with her toolbox, Bronya naturally closed the comic book she was holding and subconsciously hid it under the bed behind her, then called out to her.

Xia Yuan felt as if a book, still warm, had been stuffed into the back of his buttocks.

"Doctor, are you sure the stuff in the toolbox is for giving my idiot subordinate a physical exam? The whip is one thing... but what's with that crimson chainsaw stained with bloody liquid?"

Bronya asked Dr. Ein questions...

Lying in the hospital bed, Xia Yuan couldn't help but shudder. What had the doctor done to him while he was unconscious not long ago? Terrifying human modifications?!

Perhaps when he wakes up, he'll grow a pair of little tiger teeth on the corners of his mouth and become a vampire.

at the same time--

Dr. Aiyin glanced subconsciously at the chainsaw, whip, candle, straitjacket, and glass marbles exposed in the toolbox... then expressionlessly stuffed them back in and zipped the toolbox up again.

"No, Ms. Bronya, you misunderstand. These are just a bunch of useless little inventions that Dr. Tesla brought along. He plans to dispose of them after he finishes examining Mr. Xia Yuan."

Dr. Ai Yin pushed up the edge of his glasses and nonchalantly shifted the blame to Dr. Tesla.

She hadn't expected Bronya to still be in Mr. Xia Yuan's hospital room, but it was still within the scope of the plan. Dr. Ai Yin had noticed Bronya's little movements behind her back, but out of politeness, she didn't ask any questions.

But the desire to explore, as a researcher, had already quietly planted a seed deep in Dr. Ai Yin's heart.

It waits quietly for it to sprout...

It seemed that Bronya had been hiding something behind her back, and for some reason, she couldn't know what it was. She carefully observed the expression on Bronya's face.

After a long silence, Dr. Aiyin slowly spoke:

"Bronya, judging from Mr. Xia Yuan's current recovery, it will probably take another half month for him to fully wake up from his coma. As for you, Bronya, you haven't had a proper rest for a week... Are you really alright?"

"Doctor, don't worry about me. It's just a week of all-nighters. It's nothing for Bronya. I used to stay up all night for a month to beat a game."

[Duck, the power of the Herrscher and Stigmata isn't for you to use for this kind of thing!]

Dr. Aiyin glanced briefly at the slight dark circles under Bronya's eyes, and pushed up her glasses with a hint of helplessness, saying:

“Bronya, I know you’re worried about Mr. Xia Yuan, but if you fall ill after Mr. Xia Yuan wakes up, it would be a loss. So go and get some rest. I’ll take care of Mr. Xia Yuan.”

Dr. Ein grabbed Bronya's wrist, seemingly trying to forcibly take her out of the lab so that Bronya could rest for a while.

【Yes, that's right, Doctor... Go and take the duck to rest~】

Xia Yuan didn't want any more people who came to visit him to discover the strange comic book that Pado had brought as a gift. Otherwise, how would he face everyone when he woke up?

"Wait, Doctor... I haven't cleaned up my stupid subordinate yet today. If he falls asleep like this, he'll definitely feel uncomfortable, and he might even have nightmares!"

Their conversation echoed in Xia Yuan's ears, and he silently took back what he had just said...

It wouldn't be too late to let his kind and approachable boss wipe him down before leaving. Even though he couldn't see or move, he would use all his senses to fully experience the unique tactile sensations on his body.

A meticulous wipe from Bronya's boss.

Bronya clung to the laboratory door, trying to force her way into the ward despite Dr. Ein's obstruction.

"I will help Mr. Xia Yuan wipe his whole body. Bronya, what you need to do most now is to lie in bed and get a good night's sleep."

"The whole...the whole body?! Doctor, do you know what you're saying?!"

Dr. Ai Yin was expressionless, or perhaps because Dr. Tesla was not around and Xia Yuan was unconscious, so for the time being, there was no one to tease.

And so—

She set her sights on Bronya, who was right in front of her.

Dr. Ai Yin responded with a slight upturn of her lips:

"I know...it's just wiping Mr. Xia Yuan's whole body, isn't it?"

"Yes, the kind of meticulous wiping that leaves no corner of the body untouched, especially areas where dirt tends to accumulate. On this point, Ms. Bronya, please trust the expertise of a researcher."

"Doctor... the key point isn't in that area!"

Bronya denied it.

When she was helping her foolish subordinate clean his body a few days ago, she didn't cross that red warning zone.

But what Dr. Aiyin is saying at this moment...

It always makes Bronya's mind wander and generate strange thoughts and ideas.

Seeing Bronya's slightly flushed cheeks, Dr. Ein pressed her advantage:

"By the way, Bronya, you might not know this, but before Mr. Xia Yuan became an employee of your and Mr. Walter's game studio..."

"Mr. Xia Yuan once worked for me as a tester for new drugs for a period of time. At that time, he was soaked in formalin... I have seen his body countless times, so there is no need to worry about this aspect."

Chapter 364 What?! An experimental recording of that idiot subordinate?!

Bronya froze on the spot.

Why had she never heard her stupid subordinate mention anything about what happened before she became his subordinate? Or rather, why hadn't she ever asked him about his past?

As a superior, I have truly failed in my duty.

However, Bronya vaguely remembered her foolish subordinate casually mentioning that he and that armed doll named Ellie had once wandered and suffered together, but it seemed that her foolish subordinate had glossed over it...

"Wait a minute, aren't 'new drug testers' just human experimenters?"

Bronya, realizing what was happening, quickly asked:

"Wait, formaldehyde?! Doctor...you just said you were going to soak that idiot subordinate in formaldehyde? Isn't that a liquid used to make specimens and prevent the body from decomposing?!"

"I'm sorry, it was a slip of the tongue. I've been using formaldehyde a lot lately, which has confused my memory. It should be that Mr. Xia Yuan's entire body is completely immersed in the nutrient solution."

Dr. Ein pushed up his glasses and calmly explained to Bronya.

"Doctor, what kind of experiments have you been doing lately, Doctor... and why are you using formalin?"

Xia Yuan has come to deeply understand how terrifying Dr. Ai Yin is.

That was a kind of terror completely different from that of Dr. Mebius. Mebius was playful and teasing, but Dr. Ein was expressionless and would occasionally say something unusual.

No wonder Dr. Tesla often gets easily agitated, turning into the "Agitated Lobster Doctor." He's come to realize how difficult it is for Dr. Tesla to remain by Dr. Einstein's side...

The reason he didn't work as an assistant in the other's lab was largely because Dr. Ain liked to play pranks on him when he had nothing to do. From that time on, he became Dr. Tesla's replacement. Or rather, Dr. Ain found a more desirable toy—himself.

at the same time--

Dr. Ein seemed to realize Bronya's inner thoughts and then explained:

"It's a long story... but those drugs are all safe and have been certified by the Destiny Organization, so please rest assured. By the way, I also have records of Mr. Xia Yuan's time as a lab assistant, including some very interesting and prohibited videos. Would you like to watch them, Ms. Bronya?"

"Huh? A video of that idiot subordinate who used to be a lab assistant!"

[Duck, you've completely veered off course. At this point, you shouldn't be asking Dr. Ai-yin why she still has those old recordings, especially since they were recorded illegally!]

Bronya couldn't help but think of her naked, foolish subordinate... placed in the incubation chamber, while Dr. Ein was expressionlessly recording and evaluating the various data parameters and reports displayed on the instruments.

"Please, Doctor...please send me a copy! Cough cough, Bronya just wants to know more about her stupid subordinate's past experiences, she has absolutely no other thoughts or intentions."

【I can see through your intentions, Duck! Do you think Dr. Ai-Yin wouldn't?!】

Dr. Ai Yin's lips curled up slightly. The fish she had been waiting for had finally taken the bait. Using the taboo content of Mr. Xia Yuan's previous role as an experimental assistant as bait, she was not worried that the other party would not take the bait.

Just as Bronya's cheeks flushed slightly, and she waited expectantly for the video data Dr. Ein would transmit... the other party slowly unzipped the toolbox and took out a small bottle of liquid without disturbing Bronya.

at the same time--

The video transmitted to the data terminal had been downloaded, and Bronya couldn't wait to touch the virtual screen and open the recorded video.
