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

"Of course it was just a little joke, but you always react so cutely, Duck Duck~"

Bronya's overly strong reaction at this moment made Xia Yuan feel very cute, but at the same time he also grasped a certain weakness of hers. He didn't know that his boss could have such a shy side.

"So, have you ever considered this: gaming is your area of ​​expertise, but it's not mine."

"In other words, why should I abandon my area of ​​expertise and fight Bronya in a game area that I'm not good at? What are the rewards for defeating you, and what are the punishments for losing?"

"Hmph, if Bronya loses, you can do whatever you want with your stupid subordinate, is that alright?"

"Even if Bronya wins, you can let your stupid subordinate make one small, capricious request, but it can't include anything particularly strange. Whether you win or lose, it will only benefit your stupid subordinate, not harm her, but the condition is that Bronya behaves herself on the way back!"

"If you win, can you really do whatever you want?"

Seeing the intense fighting spirit surging from the depths of her opponent's pupils, Bronya's face flushed slightly. Is that all that stupid thing is on her mind now?

"Ahem... Of course I have to beat Bronya, but when it comes to games, Bronya will never lose to you, you idiot subordinate!"

"It's a deal then, no take-backs! But are you hungry right now, Duck? How about we go to your favorite [Houmu Restaurant] for a pleasant lunch? It's on me~"

Xia Yuan showed Bronya the compensation he had received from Dr. Ai Yin.

Chapter 398 Bringing My Stupid Subordinate Home~

It was just that Dr. Tesla was upset and cried and made a scene, but of course he would never reveal the specific origin of the money to Bronya.

"Oh? You idiot subordinate, where did you secretly hide your secret stash of money from? You stay out all night every day... and spend all your time chatting with other pretty girls about life and ideals, yet you still have spare money to treat Bronya to dinner at [Houmu Restaurant]?"

stare--

Bronya stared at her foolish subordinate with a scrutinizing gaze, as if she wanted him to reveal the origin of the money.

But before Xia Yuan could explain...

In the blink of an eye... the compensation that Dr. Aiyin had given Xia Yuan to raise his child was easily taken away by Bronya.

"Hmph, hand over the public funds~ Let Bronya keep them safe for you, you idiot subordinate, so those bad women won't swindle you out of all your money. As for food, Bronya has already prepared snacks in the trunk, enough to fill your stomach, you idiot subordinate."

Looking at his stolen bank card, Xia Yuan was speechless with bitterness...

Ellie, Eden, and Aponia are not bad women. Dr. Mebius is perhaps the good snake among bad women.

However, Bronya now seems to be taking charge of the money, which is barely improving the situation, provided that the other party doesn't recklessly buy large amounts of Houmu merchandise...

"Alright, then you can keep it safe, Bronya. But I didn't realize you were so eager to be a housekeeper!"

"What, you're complaining about Bronya managing the money, you idiot subordinate? You're such a housekeeper, cough cough... After all, once the wedding is held, your money will belong to Bronya, so you should start managing the money as soon as possible."

Bronya put her hands on her hips and explained to Xia Yuan with great conviction.

Her expression was slightly uncertain. Was she about to go from being a boss to the bride of a foolish subordinate? Why did she feel like her status and position had automatically diminished...?

Looking at the bank card that Bronya had put in her front pocket, Xia Yuan realized that there was no way to get it back.

"Here you go, here you go, head butler Brony~ But remember to give me some pocket money later, I still need to visit Mei, Timido and the others. Also, you are not allowed to use this money to buy Houmu merchandise, and you are not allowed to treat this money as wages and then give it back to me."

"嘁~"

Bronya pouted slightly, her idea and plan to embezzle public funds vanishing before it could even be implemented.

"Hey, hey, I know, I know, you stupid subordinate, you've become even more long-winded than my mother. You stingy, stupid subordinate, hurry up and get in the car. If you don't get in now, Bronya will just leave you here alone to face the dark and quiet night. Who knows, you might just be eaten by some vampire girl who happens to pass by."

Feeling the restless little hands on her waist, Bronya realized that Xia Yuan had already sat behind her.

She only hoped that her foolish subordinate would keep his promise and behave himself before going home. Then... accompanied by the roar of the Reloaded Rabbit engine, the bushes returned to their usual tranquility, leaving only a faint trail of azure flame.

wow-

After the two left, the white-haired girl quietly peeked her head out from the depths of the bushes.

Sniff sniff—

She had already memorized the scent emanating from Xia Yuan. All she had to do was follow the scent he left behind to easily find his residence, and then it would be time for the vampire to repay his debt of gratitude.

"Human, wait for me, I'm coming to see you now."

Perhaps she was thinking of something happy, because her eyes turned into crescent shapes with her smile, making her look very cute and beautiful.

at the same time

After experiencing a massive traffic jam, Bronya and Xia Yuan finally arrived at their destination in the evening.

"We've finally arrived at our destination safely... Bronya swears that unless it's something extremely important, she will never step out of her room again outside of work hours. It was just taking you, my stupid subordinate, home, and you wasted half a day. That's enough time for Bronya to finish a game."

"Dear Ms. Bronya, you've worked hard. Driving for a long time while fatigued can lead to stiffness and poor blood circulation. Would you like a kind subordinate to provide a special service such as massaging your shoulders to relieve fatigue?"

Stare—(? ? ?)

"You stupid subordinate, you've only been behaving yourself for half a day. Stop your nonsense. If you really want to be considerate of Bronya, you might as well help her unload the trunk from the Heavy Bunny."

"Yes, Your Highness Bronya~"

Following his superior's orders, Xia Yuan removed the trunk from the heavy-duty bunny, feeling the sudden weight sink in...

"It's so heavy."

What exactly did Bronya put in the trunk that made it so heavy? Fortunately, he could still manage to move it. This was naturally the work of the Corruption Herrscher attached to the typewriter. She couldn't bear to see the lovely human being so sweetly snuggled up with this drill-headed woman. She cried all the way there, her grief and tears making her keep printing papers in the trunk.

"Silly subordinate, where do you live?" Bronya pointed out the specific direction with her little hand. Speaking of which, this is Bronya's first time coming to the vicinity of your home. The surrounding greenery is quite nice, and the air is very fresh. It's a good place to recuperate.

Bronya tiptoed to Xia Yuan, leaned forward slightly, and waited for his reply.

But for some reason...

He was just going to change locations to play games and, incidentally, observe his idiot subordinate closely to see if he had any lingering effects after waking up. So why this inexplicable feeling of tension? Was he perhaps looking forward to visiting his idiot subordinate's home?!

No way... She wouldn't expect that!

Just then, Xia Yuan, who was carrying the trunk, vaguely sensed something.

He always felt a strong and burning gaze secretly watching him from behind, but when he turned around again, the feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared. As for the source of that gaze... his intuition told Xia Yuan that it was in a dimly lit alley not far away. Were he and Bronya being followed by someone? But he didn't sense any malice from the other party.

Chapter 399 Is the child Rita's?!

"Duck, do you feel a strong gaze behind you, like someone is spying on you?"

Bronya pointed at Xia Yuan himself and casually said, "Yes, isn't it you, you stupid subordinate? Bronya has to endure the intense, wanting-to-slack-off gaze from a certain idiot every day, and she'll slack off at her workstation if she's not careful."

"What kind of new pressing method is this?"

Bronya deliberately turned her head away to avoid looking at Xia Yuan. Besides... her stupid subordinate had been sitting behind her on the Heavy Bunny the whole time. If she said she didn't have any bad intentions, even Houmu, Houmei, and Houla probably wouldn't believe it.

"Ahem... Duck, I'm serious, I'm not joking. There might really be someone secretly following us."

"Oh no, we've been spotted by humans! Quick, hide!"

The white-haired girl behind him frantically searched for something to hide in. When she saw an empty trash can, she darted inside, secretly peeking out to observe the reactions of the two people in front of her.

Xia Yuan tried his best to observe the things around the alley not far away, hoping to find the person who was following him and Bronya, but apart from the gray and white trash cans that were quietly placed there, there was nothing else.

"People often say, 'If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear.' I think it's clearly your stupid subordinate who's done something shameful to be so nervous, like having an extra child without Bronya's knowledge..."

Although Bronya said this, she became more wary in her heart.

Although she didn't realize that someone was secretly watching her and Xia Yuan from the depths of the alley, she couldn't ignore her stupid subordinate's words. After all, they were near her stupid subordinate's home, and protecting her subordinate's safety was one of the responsibilities of a superior.

Then—

She set her sights on the row of suspiciously placed trash cans.

Using the infrared module carried by the Heavy Bunny 0019, Bronya focused her scan on the neatly arranged trash cans near the alley. If someone was indeed following her... and happened to be noticed by her stupid subordinate, then the person, who didn't have enough time to hide, would undoubtedly be hiding in those trash cans.

According to the thermal imaging images provided by Reload Rabbit 0019, no suspicious areas were detected.

"Could it be that my stupid subordinate is overthinking things?"

Just as Bronya was about to further confirm the specific situation in the alley, Xia Yuan's next words made Bronya freeze in place, and she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

"Um... Duck, do you know about the baby?"

As always, Dr. Ai Yin was unreliable.

He said he would keep it a secret from Bronya for the time being, but he revealed the classified information in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, an astonishing amount of information flooded Bronya's consciousness, leaving her unable to immediately process the news. Did that mean she was a newcomer... a stepmother?! No, no, no, this wasn't the time to think about such things!

Bronya, realizing what was happening, quickly turned around and asked, "You're kidding, right? You idiot subordinate, you really had a child with another woman?!"

Xia Yuan felt that Bronya's expression and reaction made it seem like she didn't know anything about it. Could it be that it wasn't Dr. Ein who revealed it, but rather that he had accidentally let it slip earlier?

"Ahem... You must have misheard, Duck Duck~ Let's hurry home and play games. I can't wait to have a showdown with you in the game."

"You idiot subordinate, don't try to change the subject. Explain to Bronya properly what exactly happened with the child!"

Although Bronya knew in her heart that her foolish subordinate had a messy private life and many female confidantes, she never expected that... that he would even have a child.

How old is the child, and who is the child's mother?

Who dared to sneak ahead of her? While secretly enjoying her meal alone, Bronya kept filtering through the women who had come into contact with Xia Yuan in her mind, until—a certain maid from the Destiny was chosen by Bronya from the depths of her memory.

With the other person's unique and captivating charm, she didn't believe her foolish subordinate could resist.

"Is it that woman, Rita?!"

As Xia Yuan remained silent, Bronya seemed to have found her answer. She casually took out her communication device and added a certain maid, who had been blacklisted, back to her friend list.

Rita Losweather

A maid's duty is to diligently complete every task.

[The motorcyclist whose license will never be revoked]: Hey, Rita, are you there?

[Rita Losweather]: Oh, it's Ms. Bronya. May I ask what brings you here? If you need Rita's maid cleaning service, please press "1". If you need to commission an investigation, please press "2".

[The motorcyclist whose license will never be revoked]: Stop spouting nonsense to Bronya, you little sly cat, what exactly did you do to my stupid subordinate?!

[Rita Losweather]: Dear Ms. Bronya, Rita doesn't quite understand what you mean. If you're looking for a kitten, Stan is taking a nap. Should I wake him up?

Rita Losweather: [Image]

Stan was lounging lazily in his comfortable little nest.

[The motorcyclist whose license will never be revoked]: Who's looking for it? Bronya is looking for you, Rita. Now that things have come to this, Rita, stop pretending. You've kept this from Bronya for so long. Tell me... how many months pregnant are you?

[Rita Losweather]: Ms. Bronya, what are you saying? Please calm down. As for the child, whose child is it?

Just as Rita was filled with doubt...

She suddenly noticed the words the other person had said at the beginning, which were the same words she had said. "Stupid subordinate..." Could Bronya be referring to Mr. Xia Yuan?

Firstly, based on the information revealed by Bronya, Mr. Xia Yuan, who had just woken up, suddenly had a child. Considering Bronya's reaction and her attitude during the interrogation, the other party mistakenly believed that she was pregnant with Mr. Xia Yuan's child.

This is truly amazing news, and things are starting to get interesting.

Rita's lips curled into a slight smile. If that's the case... she wouldn't mind making things a little more interesting.

Chapter 400 As long as you're bold enough, your boss can take maternity leave.

She wanted to see how Mr. Xia Yuan would respond next; his expression would surely be quite subtle and interesting.

As she pondered, Rita's expression revealed waves of pleasure.

[Rita Rossweisse]: I never imagined that Mr. Xia Yuan and I had kept our relationship so well hidden, yet you, Ms. Bronya, still managed to find out. As for the child, please don't worry. I will personally send you an invitation when the child turns one month old. Please make sure to attend the one-month celebration for my child with Mr. Xia Yuan.

[The motorcyclist whose license will never be revoked]: (Red exclamation mark!) Rita!!!

[A motorcyclist whose license will never be revoked]: (Red exclamation mark!) Hey...

But when Bronya pressed Rita for more information, Rita had already rejected her message.

That damn maid... she actually planned to send her an invitation after the baby's one-month celebration and even wanted her to attend the banquet. It was both murderous and morally reprehensible. No way, she absolutely couldn't lose to that woman Rita, and she certainly wouldn't hand over her stupid subordinate who was rightfully hers.

But the fact that the other party has a child is also undeniable...

Damn it, so annoying. It's all the fault of those stupid subordinates. They have no self-control or patience at all. They can't resist the temptations of others at all. They will willingly walk into the trap with the slightest temptation.

"In that case, we can't postpone it until after the wedding!"

Bronya turned around and suddenly grabbed Xia Yuan's wrist.

"A duck?!"

Xia Yuan appeared somewhat nervous when his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Without a word, Bronya forcibly brought Xia Yuan to the front of the house. It was because of this that the white-haired girl hiding in the trash can escaped unscathed. If she had been discovered, she would definitely not have been able to defeat her opponent now that she had not recovered her strength.

Xia Yuan was still trying to figure out how to explain to Bronya, but after Bronya sent a message to someone, she surprisingly didn't mention it. Instead, she pulled him to the front door of her house and silently extended her palm towards Xia Yuan, saying:

"Give it to me~"
