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

But Seele beside her didn't respond for a long time, so Miss Black Seele couldn't help but turn around and look at her.

"Seele~ Seele?"

The reason Seele didn't respond to "the other self" was because her attention was entirely focused on the several sharp scratches on the side of the wall. What kind of creature or weapon could have left such marks on the wall?

The marks look like claw marks, and they are quite fresh, suggesting that not much time has passed since they were made.

"My dear Seele, what are you observing? Why are you looking at it so intently?"

“The other me, look here.”

Seele pointed to the several scratches on the wall and said to Black Seele beside her.

"Who scratched me like that...? A bear's paw print? It doesn't look like one. It doesn't have the characteristic paw pads. It looks like it was made by something like a sharp fingertip. Besides, how could there be a bear in such a big city?"

Suddenly, she thought of her favorite weapon—the chain claw.

"Does Seele think she sneaked over in the middle of the night to do this?! She wouldn't do something like this for no reason."

Thinking of this, Miss Kuroki quickly waved her hands to clarify to the other party:

“Wait, Seele, I didn’t do this. I swear, I would never secretly go to that bad guy’s house without your knowledge, and I would never leave such marks on his walls.”

"Of course I believe you, [Seele], but..."

Looking at the open house in front of her, Seele suddenly had a bad feeling. She was worried that Xiaoyuan and her sister Bronya might be in danger. Both of their communications were offline and could not be reached, which made Seele's heart sink even more.

Without much explanation, Seele quickly pulled [her other self] into the house. The white-haired girl, hiding in a dark corner, watched the two enter the human's home without any hindrance, a hint of envy in her eyes.

If only she could go in like them... But judging from the tone of one of them, they seemed to have misunderstood something.

The marks on the wall were left by her last night when she couldn't resist her physical urges and desires, instinctively trying to grab onto whatever was around her. But if they just barged in like that, and the human was still sleeping in the bedroom with that silver-haired woman...

"Won't they bump into each other?"

What will be the relationship between humans and these two?

Lovers? Friends? Acquaintances? And who was that silver-haired woman in the bedroom with the human last night?

"Hmm... Human relationships are so complicated. I hope the other person can get through this accident caused by her carelessness safely~" The white-haired girl silently prayed for Xia Yuan in her heart and listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside the house.

at the same time--

The first thought that came to Miss Black Seele's mind after she was led into the living room by Seele's hand.

【Yay, Seele is holding my hand again~】

[Mmm... Seele's little hands are so warm. I wish they could stay like this forever. All you bad guys can step aside! Seele is hers, and no one is allowed to take her away.]

After reflecting on his own feelings, he may have sensed Seele's worries.

Miss Blackie quickly comforted her, "Seele, don't worry, who is your sister Bronya? How could anything happen to her?"

"But [the other me], the open door suddenly gave me a bad feeling. I was worried that Bronya and Xiaoyuan might be robbed or something."

However, when she saw the living room, which was intact and showed no signs of disturbance, Seele secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Breakfast robbery? Seele, you're underestimating your sister Bronya far too much. Seele, you can rest assured, even a dozen of these thugs together wouldn't be a match for your sister Bronya."

But then Hei hope suddenly remembered the figure of a certain bad guy, and her heart skipped a beat.

Bronya was fine on her own, but if it involved protecting a bad guy, Miss Black Seele suddenly felt uncertain. As if she was worried and wanted to confirm it herself, she comforted Seele while shouting loudly to those around her:

"Hey...you naughty boy, wake up! The sun's already high in the sky! Stop sleeping in!"

As Ms. Kuroki's voice echoed throughout the room, she did not receive the response she desired.

"Ahem, Seele... don't worry, maybe the bad guy is just sleeping too soundly."

As Seele looked around, she suddenly smelled a very pleasant fragrance. Following the scent, Seele looked towards the closed room that connected to the living room, with a sign that read "Miss Pink Fairy" hanging on the door.

[Xia Yuan's private room. No unauthorized personnel allowed.]

[Except for Airi~]

"My other self, can you smell that wonderful fragrance coming from the living room? The fragrance seems to be coming from that room."

Sniff sniff—

Just as Seele said, there was indeed a faint but very pleasant fragrance in the living room.

You wouldn't normally notice, but this bad guy actually has some taste. I'll have him send her some of these spices later; they'll smell wonderful in her and Seele's bedroom. But right now, the most important thing is to find out who this bad guy is so Seele can feel at ease.

Upon arriving at the room, I saw a pink sign hanging high above that read "No Unauthorized Personnel Allowed."

Miss Hei hope immediately reversed it, determined to break in no matter how much it involved the bad guy's privacy.

"Don't worry, Seele, I guarantee the bad guy is definitely in this room. Just watch, I'll drag him out of the room!"

Seele wanted to stop Black Seele's behavior, but was it really appropriate to do so?

But thinking about the fact that Xiaoyuan and Bronya's whereabouts were unknown, he could only let [another version of himself] turn the doorknob.

Click—click—

The door appeared to be locked from the inside.

Before Seele and Black Seele arrived, Little Gretchen, who was leaning against the corner of the bedroom holding Erosion, was the first to wake up from her sleep.

"Hmm...is it already dawn?"

Little Gretchen rubbed her eyes, her gaze involuntarily drifting to the closed skylight in the room, where the warm sunlight streamed in... She liked it.

"If it's already morning, does that mean Brother Xia Yuan and Sister Bronya could wake up at any moment?"

Chapter 423 Seele's coming to get you!

"Let's sneak into Alicia's closet before Brother Xia Yuan wakes up and finds me!"

Because the observant Greta had already noticed...

Under the sunlight streaming through the window, Bronya, who had been using Xia Yuan as a pillow, seemed to be showing signs of waking up.

Heave-ho~ Heave-ho~

Little Greta is moving her body...

Quietly placing the treasure back in its original spot, the girl tiptoed back into the wardrobe compartment, silently observing everything happening in the bedroom.

After a moment—

Just as Little Gretsch had predicted, Bronya, lying on the bed, opened her eyes somewhat blankly.

"Well......"

He subconsciously covered his forehead, then stared blankly at the ceiling, which, compared to his own home, had no Houmu pattern.

Bronya vaguely remembered what happened with her stupid subordinate last night, but she didn't wake up naturally. Instead, she was woken up by Xia Yuan next to her. At this moment, she could clearly feel that things inside her body were undergoing significant changes.

"A bulge? It's bulging?! Hey, you idiot subordinate, stop pretending to be asleep and get Bronya up right now!"

No matter how much Bronya shook Xia Yuan, he showed no signs of waking up. Instead, he hugged Bronya even tighter, as if she were a pillow. She couldn't push him away or get up, so Bronya had no choice but to give up and let him continue to hug her.

"Honestly, I can't wake you up no matter how much I call you, and I can't soothe you no matter how much I coax you. You stupid subordinate, are you even Kiana's subordinate?"

But the other person was sleeping like a little pig, so why did they suddenly swell up a lot in the morning? It can't be a bodily instinctive reaction, can it?

Bronya blushed slightly at the thought, but the only good news for her was that her stomach had shrunk considerably compared to last night, indicating that her body had absorbed the contents properly.

But precisely because there's so much less, the most prominent feature on his lower abdomen, in comparison, is actually the bulge from that stupid subordinate...

This led Bronya to want to lie lazily in the other's arms, completely unwilling to move. Her fingertips kept drawing the word "idiot" on Xia Yuan's chest, her expression seemingly filled with a faint resentment.

Not only did he get woken up by his idiot subordinate, but the other guy just slept soundly...and he was sleeping so peacefully!

Bronya yawned unconsciously, which made her feel a little sleepy.

She had intended to use her foolish subordinate as a pillow, to rest her head on him and take a good nap, but she vaguely heard footsteps and Seele's shouts coming from outside the living room.

"Bronya, Xiaoyuan, are you there?"

"Wait, could Seele have already come knocking on our door? (Alarmed?!)"

Bronya suddenly recalled her conversation with Seele last night. Seele had said she would come to visit her and her foolish subordinate, but wasn't this a bit too early? And why did Seele have a key to her foolish subordinate's house...? Or did her foolish subordinate not lock the door at all last night?! Wasn't she afraid that a homunculus thief would break in and steal all the valuables?!

The thought that she was separated from Seele by only a living room made Bronya's heart begin to race with anxiety.

Stay calm, you must stay calm. In any case, you can't let Seele find out that she and her stupid subordinate are lying in the same bed, and that she doesn't even have many clothes on. Otherwise, you won't be able to explain yourself.

Thinking about this... she no longer cared whether she was wearing the clothes of that stupid subordinate.

Bronya hurriedly put on the clothes the other person had worn the day before, poking Xia Yuan's cheek with her fingers and urging him anxiously, "Silly subordinate, stop sleeping, wake up! Seele is in the living room right now!"

Still half-asleep and drowsy, Xia Yuan finally opened his eyes halfway after Bronya's constant urging. Looking at Bronya sitting on him and pressing down on his shoulders, he saw that she was very anxious and flustered.

This puzzled Xia Yuan, who had just woken up and was still in a daze. He rarely saw such panic on his boss's face. Was he still dreaming? Thinking of this, Xia Yuan couldn't help but hold up five fingers.

"Hmm... Duck, you're up so early? Please let me sleep for another five seconds."

He seemed to be drifting back to sleep, but Bronya was determined not to let Xia Yuan stay in bed any longer. What time was it? Seele had already come knocking, and he was still sleeping...

"You idiot subordinate, stop sleeping! Seele's right outside the living room, wake Bronya up right now!"

"Wait, Seele... is here?!"

Even though he was still half asleep, Xia Yuan realized the seriousness of the situation. His sleepiness vanished, and he suddenly sat up in bed. However, Bronya was a little overwhelmed by his sudden sitting up and instinctively covered her abdomen with both hands.

"Stupid subordinate, don't... don't get up so suddenly."

"Duckling, what should we do?!"

Xia Yuan looked at Bronya. His boss, his most reliable pillar of support, and the one who had overcome countless game challenges must have a way to resolve the current crisis. However, Bronya was still immersed in the feelings she had just experienced and had not yet recovered, so she was unable to think too much.

"Ha... No, don't expect Bronya to come up with a solution. In the end, whose fault is this? If it weren't for your stupid subordinate insisting on communicating with Seele last night, Seele wouldn't have come to us so early."

Suppressing the strange sensation in her abdomen, Bronya answered with a somewhat hesitant tone.

Click, click—

The sound of a handle being turned came from outside the bedroom.

"It seems the bad guy locked it from the inside? Hmph, how could a lock like that stop Seele and me?"

Clang—

The sound was likely made by the chain claw falling onto the floor and rubbing against it.

The sounds coming from outside the bedroom and the turning of the doorknob made Xia Yuan realize that he and Bronya didn't have much time to prepare. Moreover, that door was the only exit from the bedroom to the living room, so for now, he could only let Bronya hide while he faced Seele alone.

Chapter 424 The bedroom is so small, where do you want Bronya to hide?

"It's almost too late... Anyway, Duck, you should find a place to hide."

"You stupid subordinate, don't make it sound so easy. Why don't you hide yourself and let me face Seele? And the bedroom is such a small place, where do you expect Bronya to hide?"

Perhaps afraid of being overheard by Seele and the others in the living room, Bronya deliberately lowered her voice even when speaking.

Where should we hide?

Xia Yuan looked around his familiar bedroom and thought to himself that he should have listened to Ai Li and made a small cubicle in the bedroom.

But it was too late to say anything now. First, Xia Yuan focused his attention on the bedding right in front of him. How about letting Bronya hide under the covers? But such thin bedding would easily reveal the fact that there was an extra person. What's more, the troublesome Miss Black Seele was also next to Seele. What if she pulled off the covers... Did he have to explain to Seele that Bronya was just curled up under the covers playing the guitar?

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yuan shifted his gaze to the area near the curtains.

The pure white curtains are printed with pink stars and starry sky patterns. If you can use the curtains to hide Bronya's figure and distract Seele while she leaves the bedroom, what will you do?

But soon... Xia Yuan rejected this plan.

The curtains were too far from the door, and Miss Blackie liked to look around while Seele was talking, glancing left and right. Before Bronya could even sneak into the living room, the other girl would notice the commotion in the room.

Under the bedding is out of the question, inside the curtains is out of the question, so what about under the bed?

He glanced briefly at Bronya in his arms. Even in his loosest shirt, it was hard to hide her ample bosom. And the space under the bed was so cramped; it could probably only accommodate a small Greta. Damn it... sometimes being too well-developed isn't a good thing. If Hua were here, she could easily hide under the bed.

Feeling the sudden swelling in her lower abdomen and the pity in Xia Yuan's eyes, Bronya felt that he wasn't thinking about how to get through the current crisis at all, but was instead thinking about inappropriate things.

So Bronya bit Xia Yuan hard, trying to bring him to his senses.

"You stupid subordinate, were you thinking about some strange things again?"

Seele is about to come in, and this idiot subordinate still has time to think about such things. You really can't count on idiot subordinates.

Furious, Bronya began to think about how to get out of her predicament. She looked around the bedroom, searching for something to hide in. Soon... a pink wardrobe standing in the corner of the bedroom came into her view.

"There's no other way, so I'll just hide in that idiot subordinate's closet for now and wait for Seele to leave."

But when Bronya tried to get up, she found herself in the same situation as last night, unable to get away from the other person.
