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

"Hey, is that Xiaoyuan?"

It's so late, why is Xiao Yuan still with Bronya? Xiao Yuan was just discharged from the hospital today. Did Bronya drag him to play games again? Thinking of this, Seele couldn't help but ask:

"Bronya, did you drag Xiaoyuan to play games all night again?"

"Seele, you've got it wrong. I didn't drag my idiot subordinate to play games, huh...?!"

Bronya wanted to explain, but her body trembled involuntarily, and she couldn't help but let out a gasp from between her slightly pursed lips. She could feel her stupid subordinate's hands ruthlessly ravaging her, and they were just a little below the projection. If she wasn't careful and made any slight movement, Seele would discover the embarrassing scene between her and her stupid subordinate.

If things continue to be so peaceful and gentle...

"Bronya, are you alright?"

Just as Seele was about to ask Bronya what was wrong, Xia Yuan quickly answered, "It's okay, Seele... Bronya just lost to me in a game and is feeling a bit resentful, so she's sulking by herself."

"Wow, Xiao Yuan actually managed to defeat Bronya in the game?!"

No... Now is not the time to praise Xiaoyuan for defeating Bronya in the game. Although Xiaoyuan is great, the most important thing right now is that it is already late at night, and Xiaoyuan and Bronya are still playing games.

Seele shook her head, trying to clear her head as much as possible.

Then—

Speaking in a tone befitting an elder, with her hands on her waist, Seele said:

"But I still have to say something to you, Bronya. Xiaoyuan has just been discharged from the hospital. How can he stay up all night playing games with you? And you, Xiaoyuan, you can't keep spoiling Bronya like this. A healthy body is the most important thing."

"Hmm...Seele is right, and I think Bronya thinks so too, don't you agree?"

Xia Yuan nodded in agreement, then looked at Bronya, who was standing close by, her lips pursed, clutching the edge of the blankets so tightly she dared not make a sound. His boss looked so aggrieved that she didn't dare to look up at Seele.

"Bronya, please look at me carefully and don't keep your head down!"

Seeing that Bronya kept her head down and dared not meet her gaze, Seele felt that her sister Bronya had not taken her earnest words to heart at all, so she spoke again.

“Seele, I..”

Bronya didn't dare look at Seele in front of the projection at all; the strange sensation in her body made it impossible for her to suppress the change in her expression.

That wretched, idiotic subordinate must be secretly gloating right now, right? Not only did she get scolded by Seele, but she actually did *that* kind of thing in front of Seele at a time like this. If she gets caught... how will she ever face Seele again?

"Duckling, do you feel comfortable?"

While Xi'er was watching, she heard Xia Yuan whispering in her ear. Just as her stupid subordinate had said, if you carefully experience the feeling of being rubbed, you will feel an indescribable comfort. But she would never tell him about this!

"A perverted subordinate, who would feel comfortable doing such weird things?! Ugh—ah—"

Bronya's adorable appearance couldn't be seen by just him; it seemed he needed to give her a little more time to warm her up. But for now... he had to find a way to get Bronya to lift her little head up. She couldn't keep it drooping below the projection, too shy to face Seele.

Therefore—in the spirit of being willing to help others.

Xia Yuan's small hand, which had been hovering in front of Bronya's collar, began to move in a planned and rhythmic manner until it reached Bronya's chin. His fingertips lifted slightly, as if trying to make her lift her head.

Bronya felt a slight itch, like being brushed by willow catkins, emerge from her neck. She naturally guessed the other party's intention. Seeing Xia Yuan's fingers right in front of her, how could she not bite? This was a good opportunity to vent her anger temporarily.

Just as Bronya opened her little mouth, ready to bite Xia Yuan and try to get her stupid subordinate to back down...

Unexpectedly, the other party went straight to the soft palate.

Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief. She wanted to spit it out, but it wasn't that simple. Inviting the other person in was easy, but getting them out was extremely difficult. The hard-to-swallow foreign object kept causing her mouth to secrete large amounts of digestive enzymes.

"Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh?!"

The accumulation of large amounts of digestive enzymes rendered Bronya unable to make any sound.

Even so, she would not yield to her foolish subordinates; she absolutely could not let Seele see her like this.

"Bronya, what are you saying? I can't hear you very well."

Seeing Bronya in the projection suddenly arch her body forward, revealing only her eyes and above, and emitting indistinct whimpers, Seele asked with some confusion and worry.

"It's like this, Seele... Bronya was just eating her snacks too fast and accidentally choked. I'm trying to help her feel better now."

"Ughhhhhh?! (Bronya won't choke! Whose fault is it that Bronya is like this? You perverted subordinate!)"

"Okay, okay~ If you're choking, don't talk."

Xia Yuan was gently patting Bronya's back with his other hand.

From Seele's perspective, Bronya in the projection was just as Xiaoyuan had said, accidentally eating too fast. After all, she had seen this reaction many times in her "other self". Each time, it was because she ate too much food made with too many red chili peppers while talking, which easily caused her to choke.

"Xiao Yuan, could you please give Bronya some warm water? Milk would be even better if you had some. Bronya, you really need to take good care of yourself while I'm not around. Xiao Yuan has just recovered, so I can't keep bothering him."

Seeing the current situation of the two, Seele was completely worried.

She's ready to bring "another version of herself" with her to visit Bronya and Xiaoyuan first thing tomorrow morning.

Chapter 418 Listen to Xier, don't make her sad~

As expected, Bronya alone isn't enough... Bronya at home is probably just busy playing games.

Just as Seele was pondering, Xia Yuan slowly withdrew his finger from the corner of Bronya's mouth. Before Bronya could even catch her breath, she heard the voice of her silly subordinate responding to Seele.

"Hmm... I don't have any warm water here right now, but I do have some fresh milk at home."

"(???)vigilance!!!"

Feeling the sudden churning in her body and the antics of her bumbling subordinate, Bronya seemed to understand what her subordinate meant by "milk." She certainly didn't want to drink this kind of milk...

"You can keep the milk for your stupid subordinate; Bronya didn't choke at all!"

Bronya's panting appearance made her words completely unbelievable.

Even Seele in the projection couldn't help but advise:

"Bronya, you can't force yourself right now~ You have to listen to Xiaoyuan and drink the milk he prepared. Xiaoyuan is doing this for you, Bronya, so don't let his good intentions go to waste."

“Seele, I…”

Bronya silently clenched the blankets around her. She didn't know how to explain to Seele that the milk her stupid subordinate was referring to and the milk Seele was thinking of were almost two completely different things.

"Seele is right. You need to finish this whole glass of hot milk, then lie in bed and have a nice sleep. That's what you should be doing right now, Bronya. Stop being stubborn. You just accidentally lost to me in a game, right? You can win next time!"

Xia Yuan stroked the other's silver hair with a smile.

Bronya glared resentfully at her bastard subordinate who had narrowed his eyes like crescent moons. How dare he say such things to Seele! Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone in the current situation where Seele could discover her at any moment.

"You perverted subordinate, give up on that idea! Bronya will never drink the hot milk you boiled!"

"Bronya, you can't keep being childish. I'm only doing this for your own good."

What kind of stupid subordinate treats her this well... But she couldn't bring herself to tell Seele the truth. However, the current situation was that whether or not she drank the milk prepared by the other party was not up to Bronya, but up to the milk maker. In other words, it was not up to her.

"Seele, don't worry, I will definitely feed Bronya the drink."

Xia Yuan assured Xi'er, who was wearing pajamas, in the projection.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Xiaoyuan~"

"Come on, duck, ah—be good and open your mouth."

Having received Seele's request, he naturally had to carry it out properly. He placed his fingertips on the corner of her mouth, seemingly trying to pry it open...

But this was just the surface that Seele wanted to see.

"No, absolutely not! Bronya has already drunk some water. She absolutely cannot drink any more! Her body won't be able to handle it! You stupid subordinate, you're not allowed to get even a step closer to Bronya!!!"

No matter how much Bronya resisted, she was completely powerless to stop Xia Yuan, who was right next to her.

All we can do is use somewhat forceful words to talk about it...

After a moment—

The two figures gradually disappeared into the projection.

However, Seele could still see Xia Yuan and Bronya's reflections in the light and shadow cast on the wall. It seemed that Xia Yuan was behind Bronya, but why did it feel like the reflections of Bronya and Xia Yuan on the wall were overlapping and intertwined?

It also seemed to be accompanied by some kind of sizzling sound.

"Is it because the communication signal is unstable? Or is it because I'm too sleepy and still in a half-asleep state?"

Seele put her finger to her lips, making a very cute thoughtful expression.

While Seele was pondering with her fingertips to her lips, Bronya was currently in a state of utter misery.

She had to endure the antics of her incompetent subordinate while trying her best to avoid making any noise that would alert Seele. Caught between a rock and a hard place, she could only clutch the edge of the blankets tightly to alleviate her discomfort and keep quiet, but her strength would eventually run out.

Whoops-

The sizzling sound continued, and then... Xia Yuan's whispers echoed in Bronya's ears.

"Duck, are you ready?"

Bronya did not respond to Xia Yuan at all. She could only bite her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with hazy tears. Her shy and demure appearance seemed to be about to be completely revealed to Seele and the other party at any moment.

The stirring seemed to stop at that moment, but it was followed by a series of low and high muffled sounds.

*Pfft—Pfft—Pfft—*

"You idiot subordinate, stop right now! If you keep going, Seele will see you! Ah...?! It's...it's too late to go back, my stomach...it's about to burst..."

Bronya's eyes were somewhat unfocused, and her lips couldn't even close instinctively; she could clearly feel her body's weakness and exhaustion.

But if you savor that feeling carefully...

It was a special kind of comfort that made her want to drift off to sleep. All she wanted to do now was close her eyes, think of nothing, do nothing, let her body settle down, and properly absorb and digest the milk that stupid subordinate had discharged in excessive amounts.

Bronya instinctively covered her protruding belly with both hands.

"My belly is so bloated... It feels like I'm three or four months pregnant!"

At this moment, Bronya was completely unaware that she was exposed to Seele's gaze, but it didn't matter anymore... She didn't have the energy to care about anything else. All she wanted to do now was get a good night's sleep. Exhausted, Bronya closed her eyes tightly.

"Sister Bronya?"

"It's alright, Seele. Bronya just drank too much milk and was playing games for a while, so she was a little exhausted and fell asleep."

Seeing that Bronya was about to collapse, Xia Yuan quickly pulled her into his arms, only showing their faces as he spoke to Seele.

"I see. Since Bronya is already asleep, if there's nothing else..."

Chapter 419 You bad guy, don't force it on me!

"Xiao Yuan, you should get some rest too. Tomorrow, [the other me] and I will visit you and Bronya."

"Okay, See you tomorrow, Xier~"

See you tomorrow, Xiaoyuan.

Seele noticed that the blush on Bronya's cheeks seemed a little unusual.

Drinking a glass of milk shouldn't have caused her body temperature to rise this high, but since Bronya has finally fallen asleep, it's best to end the communication as soon as possible so that Xiaoyuan and Bronya can rest.

But then again...

Bronya must have something to tell me since she's communicating with me, but she seems to be asleep right now. I'll wait until tomorrow to ask her in person what it is.

After saying goodbye, Xia Yuan and Bronya's projections disappeared from Seele's sight.

Seele adjusted her Santa Claus-like nightcap slightly, gently lifted the blankets on one side of the bed, and quietly lay down next to [her other self]. However, Black Seele was clearly not as elegant as Seele when she slept.

She was fast asleep, hugging a pillow, but perhaps sensing the change in weight beside her, she subconsciously let go of the pillow, turned over, and tightly hugged Xi'er, who had just been lying on the bed, while talking in her sleep.

[Seele, hehe, my Seele...]

[You bad guy, why are you clinging to Seele? Seele is mine alone, no one is allowed to take her away! Get out of my way! Don't make me kick you, okay? You have five seconds to get to the kitchen and cook right now. I want chili cake and spicy dried fish!]

Hey, wait a minute...you rascal, how am I supposed to finish all this?!

What?! You want to eat even if you can't finish?! You jerk, do you think I'm your trash can?!

【Mmm... Mmm...

[I'm already full, hey...you bad boy, don't force me to eat!]

Ms. Hei Xi was talking incoherently in her sleep, seemingly dreaming not only of Xi'er, but also of Xia Yuan, whom she least wanted to see. What was originally a beautiful dream turned into a nightmare that resembled a painting of hell.

"Honestly, she's about to become a mother, why does she keep talking in her sleep and sleep like a little kid?"

Seele affectionately wiped away the water stains left on the pillow from the corner of Black Seele's mouth with a handkerchief, and then gently stroked the other's budding belly, closing her eyes softly as if feeling the faint heartbeat inside.

Whether there are any extra heartbeats is currently unknown.

But nowadays, Ms. Blackie has to sleep in her clothes every night, and even when she takes a bath, she has to hide it from Hermione. No matter how much Hermione tries to persuade her, the other woman insists on doing what she wants, so she can only let "another version of herself" have her way.

Goodnight, Seele...the other me.

Soon, Seele, who was feeling sleepy, gradually became drowsy. She stroked the other person's lower abdomen, listened to the rising and falling melody, and quietly fell asleep.
