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

But now is not the time for Bronya to go back on her word. She can't go back on her word. At least on the bright side, she still has some attraction for her stupid subordinate. So she'll just let her stupid subordinate continue like this until she catches up with Rita.

"You idiot subordinate, don't wipe her too hard. Be gentle with Bronya!"

But the other person seemed not to hear her and slapped Bronya's back with a towel soaked in cold water.

"I already told Bronya not to regret it, but it's too late to back out now~"

"You idiot subordinate... ugh!"

Before Bronya could finish speaking, an even colder towel than before was draped over her skin again.

"Hmm..."

Until a basin of cool water was poured over her from behind, and a gasp escaped her lips as the basin was set down, Bronya could no longer hold on. Her body went limp and she collapsed onto the bathroom floor, letting the showerhead wash over her body.

Chapter 403 Duck, why are you wearing Mebius's little skirt?

I never imagined that just asking my stupid subordinate to help me wipe myself would cause me to lose my composure like this.

It looks like she's completely at a disadvantage. This can't go on. She's going to conquer her stupid subordinate, not be conquered by him and fall on the road to victory!

"Dear Ms. Bronya, are you satisfied with the service? If you could rate it, what score would you give me?"

"One point! Completely unsatisfactory!"

Hearing the voices behind her, Bronya, lying on her side on the bathroom floor, gave Xia Yuan a resentful glare. She was already in this state, how could he still be satisfied... But she had no intention of admitting defeat.

"Do you need me to wipe your front again, Bronya?"

Seemingly recalling her encounter at the crossroads, Bronya lay on her side on the bathroom floor, trying to cover her body with a thin towel.

"You idiot subordinate, don't even think about it. Now that it's finished, get Bronya out of here!"

Faced with Bronya's somewhat willful and unreasonable tantrums...

Xia Yuan touched his wet, curly hair with a hint of helplessness. These days, bosses are really hard to please. He just asked me to stay and help him scrub his back, but after he was done with me, he cruelly and heartlessly kicked me out. But what can I do? He's my dear boss.

"Okay, okay~ I'll leave the bathroom now, is that alright? But you need to hurry up and shower, I'll wait for you in the living room."

creak-

Hearing the sliding door open, Bronya turned around and quietly observed. Only after confirming that Xia Yuan had left the bathroom did Bronya slowly get up, supporting herself on the floor.

Perhaps it was a deviation from her plan, Bronya rubbed her silver hair in frustration. To dispel her irritation, she went to the bathtub where her idiot subordinate had just soaked.

Glug glug—

Bronya, completely submerged in the bathtub, stared blankly at the few duck toys floating on the water with a very empty expression.

"Ugh, it's all Rita's fault... and her stupid subordinate too!"

She had absolutely no idea what to do; her little head was a complete mess. Her goal was to catch up with that bastard maid who was sneaking ahead of her, but when she was about to achieve her goal, she didn't dare to take the last step.

squeak-

She gently pressed her fingertips against the little yellow duck on the water's surface, making a creaking sound. But hiding in the bathroom to escape wasn't her style. She'd settle things with her silly subordinate in the next game!

About ten minutes later...

Having made up her mind, Bronya slowly stepped out of the bathtub.

Soon, the hum of a hairdryer filled the bathroom. Once her silver hair and body were slightly dry, Bronya took out the dark green, tight-fitting dress she had found in the closet.

"How...how can it be so tight?"

Not only are they difficult to wear, but you also have to shuffle around in tiny steps to walk in them. No wonder they were rejected! I don't know who this idiot subordinate was buying these clothes for. Was it just to add a little romance?!

Bronya mentally berated a certain idiot subordinate.

Five minutes later, Bronya, having exerted all her strength, finally managed to put on the dark green, tight-fitting dress. However, the fabric, so revealing, seemed on the verge of bursting at any moment...

"Hmm, isn't this a bit too tight? It's even making it hard to breathe. Oh well, I'll just make do with this for the night."

With one hand covering her collar and the other clutching the hem of her skirt that clung to her skin, Bronya slowly made her way to the bathroom door.

As the bathroom door was pushed open, Xia Yuan, who was waiting in the living room, froze on the spot when he saw Bronya's throbbing form.

"Duck, why are you wearing Dr. Möbius's clothes?"

"What's wrong, you stupid subordinate? Is there something you're unhappy about? It's because you have absolutely no clothes at home that I can wear, and your closet is full of the same style of dresses. What can I do but make do?"

Xia Yuan recalled how Ai Li had prepared many little dresses for Dr. Möbius to make amends for blowing up his lab, but because Dr. Möbius refused them, Ai Li cried for a long time...

"Are you comfortable wearing these, Duck Duck? If you don't mind, you can wear mine for now. I washed and hung up your clothes while I was washing them. They should be dry by tomorrow morning."

"Be alert!!!" (? ? ?)

Looking at the two items hanging on the clothes rack, Bronya felt rather complicated. Her stupid subordinate had been unusually sensible for once, but she used it in this way. She didn't know whether to praise her for being thoughtful or scold her for lacking common sense.

"Wow...she even washed her underwear!"

Seeing her clueless subordinate staring intently at her, Bronya felt incredibly shy standing in front of him, perhaps because of the tight dress she was wearing. She instinctively tried to cover herself with her hands.

To ease the awkwardness, Bronya changed the subject, saying:

"Bronya doesn't want to wear your clothes, you idiot subordinate. If you wear them, your idiot traits might infect Bronya's genius brain, and your gaming skills might even drop to the same level as your idiot subordinate."

"What does this have to do with skill level!"

"Hmph, if Bronya says there's a connection, then there's a connection. This is the result of Bronya's countless analyses."

"Okay, okay, as long as Bronya is happy, that's all that matters. But speaking of which, where did you put the game console in the living room, Duck? I can't find it."

Having found nothing while looking around the customer hall, Xia Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"See? Bronya was absolutely right. Do you know why Bronya always calls you an idiot subordinate? Because you're hopelessly stupid. If you can't find the game console in the living room, why don't you look in other rooms? Like the bedroom."

"In the bedroom?"

Didn't we agree to play games together? Why did Bronya leave the game console in her bedroom...?

With these questions in mind, Xia Yuan walked ahead towards the bedroom.

P.S.: The previous chapter was censored and is currently undergoing a second review.

Chapter 404 Hurry up and carry Bronya to bed!

Bronya had intended to follow Xia Yuan to the bedroom.

The tight-fitting dress that bound her feet allowed her to move slowly and in small steps toward the bedroom. Bronya's walking posture was not like that of a snake, but rather like that of a silly penguin.

"Honestly! Why is that idiot subordinate walking so fast...?"

"Why didn't he wait for his boss? Games are more fun when played with two people; that's when you feel happy and joyful!"

Bronya inwardly grumbled about her incompetent subordinate.

But in that brief moment of carelessness, her feet, pressed together under the tight skirt, completely lost their balance.

"Huh?!?!"

Just as Bronya was about to fall and hit the floor, Xia Yuan, who had just opened the bedroom door, turned around to ask her about the source of the stronger fragrance in the room. It smelled quite nice and pleasant.

But when she saw Bronya about to trip over the little dress that Ari had prepared for Mebius...

Although he couldn't do a split in mid-air with perfect precision, he could at least act as a soft, fleshy cushion to absorb the impact.

"Huh? You're alright..."

"Why does this floor feel so soft? Is the floor in my stupid subordinate's house made of rubber or something?"

Bronya, with a mixture of surprise and curiosity, reached out and squeezed the floor beneath her; it felt surprisingly nice.

"Duck, don't pinch my butt all over the place."

"Wow, the floor can actually talk, and it sounds exactly like one of my stupid subordinates."

Bronya deliberately feigned a very surprised expression.

"I already said it wasn't the floor! It's just my poor back that sacrificed so much to save you, Bronya. And duck, could you please stop patting my butt?"

"Hmph, it's an honor for you, you stupid subordinate, to be Bronya's cushion. What else is there to complain about?"

"But I still have to thank you, you stupid subordinate, for arriving so quickly to be Bronya's cushion. Of course, even if you weren't here, Bronya could easily regain her balance."

Perhaps the effects of the medication were amplified...

Bronya's words began to reveal the mischievousness and liveliness hidden deep within her heart.

"How about we try again?"

He was eager to see how Bronya would stand up from the floor in her tight little dress from Mebius, but Bronya did not respond to Xia Yuan; she simply conveyed her will through the gestures of her hands.

pop-

Two more clear and pleasant sounds rang out.

"Wrong, wrong, really wrong! If you keep slapping me, my butt will really swell up. So, since you're alright, can you get off me now, Duck Duck?"

Xia Yuan raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

But the weight on her back did not lessen at all; instead, a pair of slender hands took the initiative to place on Xia Yuan's shoulders from behind.

"Now, I'm giving you a task, you idiot subordinate: carry Bronya to the bedroom and put her on the bed."

"Carry him to the bed?!"

Perhaps realizing the inappropriateness of her words, she coughed a few times and continued to speak to Xia Yuan with a hint of shyness:

"Ahem... Don't misunderstand, you silly subordinate. I just carried Bronya to the bed in the bedroom to play games together. It's your silly subordinate's bedroom only has a bed and no stool. If you want to play games, you have to sit on the bed. You can't sit on the cold floor, can you? Of course, if you want to sit on the floor, that's fine with you."

As they talked, Bronya buried her flushed cheeks deep into Xia Yuan's back, her face pressed against the slightly thin vest he was wearing.

"I already told you to wear my clothes, Duck Duck..."

Dr. Mebius's tight-fitting dress was a design that defied human nature, and only the other person could wear it and move freely.

"Bronya doesn't want to wear it! Get Bronya out of here right now!"

The weight and pressure from under his shoulders intensified, and feeling the softness behind him, Xia Yuan's breathing gradually became rapid.

"But... Duck, I think I really strained my back just now."

"No buts! You idiot subordinate, hurry up and head to the bedroom. If you dawdle any longer, Bronya will bite you, a big bite!"

At this moment, pain and pleasure coexist within Xia Yuan.

But there's nothing I can do; I've been stuck with this kind of boss. When it's time to step up, I still have to. But I need to do it in a different way. "Hey, duck, can I ask for a different position? Like, a princess carry?"

"Princess carry?"

Come to think of it, she couldn't recall ever being carried like that by her idiot subordinate before. At that moment, an image flashed through Bronya's mind: amidst a field of flowers, she was wearing a pure white wedding dress, being held in her subordinate's arms, spinning around, laughing, gazing into his eyes...

As she thought about it, a happy smile crept onto Bronya's face.

"Ahem... I really can't do anything with you, you stupid subordinate. I'll just carry you in a princess carry. But if you dare to drop Bronya on the way, you'll be sorry! I'll confiscate all your secret stash of money."

"I absolutely won't let you fall, Duck!"

In order to prevent Bronya from confiscating all the compensation Dr. Aiyin was to give him, Xia Yuan, who had been given a heads-up, promised.

Then—

Bronya rolled over naturally, off Xia Yuan's back, onto her side, and lay on the floor with her arms raised high as if expecting a hug from some silly subordinate.

Seeing Bronya's expectant look, Xia Yuan couldn't help but speak up:

"Silly Ms. Bronya, you look like a salted fish trying to turn over... well, to be precise, wearing Dr. Mebius's eerie green dress makes you look more like an eel rolling around?"

After hearing Xia Yuan's bizarre analogy about herself, Bronya rolled her eyes at him, but there was no blame in her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of coquettishness. However, this did not mean that she would let Xia Yuan off so easily.

Suddenly, a long, thin stocking appeared in her hand.

Bronya displayed the skills she had learned during her time as a mercenary, tightening the stockings around Xia Yuan's neck at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

"You stupid subordinate, it seems I'll have to give you a Bronya-style fighting technique that often knocks out opponents in fighting games to make you behave."

Chapter 405 Little Gretsch's Observation Diary

"What kind of fighting technique involves using stockings to strangle someone?!"

Stockings are meant to be worn, yet his boss used them for this strange assassination technique. Feeling the increasingly intense constriction around his neck, Xia Yuan pounded the floor and raised his hands in surrender, saying, "My dear Ms. Bronya, if you continue to constrict me like this, you may lose your lovely subordinate forever, and then there will be no one to play games with you or run errands for you without complaint."

"Hmph, we still have Kiana for gaming, and as for the packages, Bronya can use Heavy Bunny to help us retrieve them. There's no place for an idiot like you in this studio!"

"Then I'll go?"

Presumably, the understanding Rita and Lady Raven will still be willing to take them in.
