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

She decided to let Seele and the others return to the dojo first, while she stayed outside the city to continue monitoring the actions of the individual Herrscher of Domination. As for why she didn't return together, it was because... Bronya had been reminded of what happened that day every time she saw Miss Black Seele these past few days.

"Mei-neechan, you're at the dojo..."

Before Seele could finish speaking as she stepped into the dojo, she saw a pool of blood on the floor and the Herrscher of Domination lying face down with her back to them. Seele's pupils dilated involuntarily.

Mei was nowhere to be seen, so it's very likely that something bad happened to her.

Her heart skipped a beat. If she hadn't left just now... would Xiaoyuan, who was still in the laboratory below the dojo, also be in danger?

"What did you do to Mei-neechan and Kobuchi?"

Seele conjured a huge silver-white scythe in her hand, and with her head down, she walked step by step toward the Herrscher of Domination who was lying on the floor. Even the Black Seele could vaguely feel a chill emanating from Seele and couldn't help but shiver.

"Ahem... It's best not to disturb Seele at this time."

She didn't think that a mere Herrscher of Domination could cause Mei any harm. As for the bad guy, Xia Yuan was incredibly lucky. There's a saying that good people don't live long, but bad people live for a thousand years. The bad guy definitely wouldn't get into trouble. Even if he did, Seele could use her [Creation] power to help him reform.

Miss Kuroki was more concerned with the slightly damp floor next to the bloodstains... and the contents of the drawing board.

at the same time--

Hearing footsteps and a suppressed, questioning voice behind her, the Herrscher of Domination turned around angrily. "Haven't you heard the story of the boy who cried wolf? Don't think I'll believe the same trick twice!"

She was furious and wanted to vent her anger on the blind guy behind her. Didn't he see her lying on the floor, sobbing with her head in her hands? He had no sense at all. But when the Herrscher of Domination looked up from the floor and saw the other person's face... she immediately lost her temper.

【hope...Xi'er? ! 】

The Herrscher of Domination scrambled away as fast as she could, as if she had seen the Grim Reaper, trying to get as far away from Seele as possible. But how big could the dojo be? Soon she felt she had nowhere to retreat, her back pressed tightly against the wall, watching helplessly as the other party approached step by step.

[Seele, you...you hear my excuse, ptooey, explanation! I didn't hurt Raiden Mei or her brother at all. I don't know where that pink fluffy ball came from, but it took them both away. I didn't do anything; I just came in and found nothing.]

Driven by her survival instinct, the Herrscher of the Void begged Seele for mercy.

Anyway, she knew that Seele was very easy to talk to. As long as she gave in, Seele would definitely communicate with her calmly. She had already secretly dug a hole in the wall of the dojo behind her with silk thread. She would make a quick getaway as soon as Seele was not paying attention.

But to the Herrscher's surprise...

Seele didn't give her that chance. Instead, she slowly raised the scythe in her hand and assumed a slashing posture, with her target seemingly her own little head. This completely panicked the Herrscher of Domination.

[Seele, calm down, calm down... let's talk this out!]

The Herrscher of Domination no longer wanted to experience the feeling of her soul being torn apart again, but Seele didn't say a word and swiftly swung her scythe down. She would no longer believe anything the other party said, and she would personally verify the situation of Mei and Xiaoyuan.

After confirming that the Herrscher of Domination's consciousness had disappeared from the doll's body, Seele sheathed her scythe.

“My other self, I’ll go down to the dojo and see if Xiaoyuan is in the lab. You stay here and survey the area around the dojo.”

Miss Blackie made an "OK" gesture with her back to Seele. She was squatting in front of the slightly damp floor, dipped her fingertip in a little water, smelled it, and put it on her tongue. Instantly, an indescribable taste assaulted her consciousness and taste buds.

"Cough cough... What on earth is this strange smell?!"

But she felt like she had smelled a similar scent somewhere before, not long ago, but she couldn't remember where she had smelled it. It couldn't have been in the bad guy's house, could it?

Forget it, let's first check what's inside that drawing board and that bulging sleeping bag on the floor.

But when Miss Kuroki saw what was depicted on the drawing board, she almost couldn't resist tearing it in half. How could it be that bad guy again, and... and he was behind Bronya in that strange position!

A surge of heat welled up in Miss Kuroki's already fiery heart.

She had finally managed to forget the scene she'd accidentally witnessed in front of the wardrobe those past few days, but now, the dead memory had resurfaced and was constantly affecting her consciousness. She couldn't bear to watch any longer...

Miss Kuroki hurriedly flipped the drawing board in front of her over.

Chapter 484 The Wronged Miss Kuroki

Miss Hei hope felt a bit thirsty and wanted to drink something to quench her thirst.

Just then—

She suddenly remembered that familiar scent, exactly the same one she had smelled in the bad guy's bedroom not long ago.

Perhaps due to the ventilation in the dojo, the smell wasn't too strong, but it still made the belatedly aware Ms. Kuroki lie on the floor, patting her chest and dry heaving incessantly. She realized... she had actually just licked it on her tongue!

"Could it be... ugh, ugh, ugh, this debt must be settled with the bad guy!"

Miss Kuroki lay on the floor, pounding her fists. A thin mist welled up in her eyes. She had never felt so wronged in her life. Today was truly the worst day ever.

Of course, what Miss Kuroki didn't know was that the water stains might also contain some Mei. If the composition were to be analyzed, Mei would probably make up the majority of it. But even if it were detected, it wouldn't quell her anger... Xia Yuan was definitely going to take the blame for this.

"It was just an accidental lick, it shouldn't be enough to cause pregnancy, right?"

Shyness and anger were mixed in her heart. It seemed that even Miss Hei Xi only had a superficial understanding of certain knowledge and did not have a systematic understanding or in-depth knowledge.

"If I'm really pregnant, I'll make spicy mini cakes when I get back to kill that bastard with the spiciness, the super spicy kind!"

Miss Kuroki's mind was now filled with thoughts of revenge. Perhaps it would be more satisfying to just shove a chili pepper into the other person's mouth? But as she thought about it, Miss Kuroki seemed to recall the moment when the other person hugged her from behind, and a large amount of steam suddenly rose from the top of her head.

"No, I can't think about that bad guy anymore. Let's see what's inside this sleeping bag first."

She tried to distract herself by opening the large, bright blue sleeping bag that looked quite full.

Whoops-

As the zipper opened.

Little Gretchen, fast asleep with her eyes closed, appeared before Miss Heishi. She remembered her; her name was Gretchen, and she liked to draw. Since she was sleeping here, maybe she knew something. Wait, could the painting next to her be hers?

"Hey, hey, Gretchen, wake up, I have something to ask you."

Miss Kuroki poked the other's soft little face with her fingertip, and little Gresh groggily opened her eyes. "Mei-neechan, is it already evening? Gresh seemed to have a dream, a dream that Xia Yuan-niechan woke up and was with you, Mei-neechan..."

But when little Greta saw who had opened the sleeping bag, she was stunned.

Her petite body trembled instinctively. Had she not yet woken up from the nightmare? Why was it that big bad wolf sister who had already left? Was she coming back to eat Gretchen?

"Hey, tell me, did you paint that picture outside?"

Before Miss Heixi could finish speaking, Little Greta neatly zipped up the sleeping bag again, keeping the other person out of the sleeping bag.

"Big Bad Wolf, please spare Gresh. Gresh is small and short, with little meat on her body, and doesn't taste good at all. If you really want to eat her, Gresh can treat you to Mei's rice balls."

A small hand quietly peeked out of the sleeping bag and placed the rice ball in front of Miss Kuroki as an offering. Then, it quickly withdrew back into the sleeping bag. Looking at the rice ball in front of her, Miss Kuroki fell into deep thought.

"What big bad wolf sister? Is she really that scary? I only chased her around in a few train carriages~"

Although it was just playing around in Miss Hei hope's eyes, it had already become an indelible nightmare in Little Gretchen's heart. She would never leave her sleeping bag for even a moment unless Brother Xia Yuan came in and slept with her!

But when Miss Blackie tried to open the sleeping bag again, no matter how she tried, little Gretchen inside refused to come out.

"Phew... I'm exhausted. Why is the zipper on this sleeping bag so tight? Today has been the worst day ever. I have to blame this bad guy. As for the reason, he made me hurt my back."

Miss Hei Xi was panting heavily, rubbing her aching lower back with both hands. Was she getting old, or was it because under Xi'er's meticulous care, she had been eating and sleeping all day, and was even worse than the bad guy, and now she couldn't even handle a mere little Gretsch?

She just wouldn't believe it!

Just as Miss Blackie was about to start wrestling with the sleeping bag in front of her, Seele's voice echoed in her ears from behind.

"My other self, have you found anything here? Obuchi isn't in the laboratory beneath the dojo."

Seele's voice was filled with worry.

Looking at the painting beside her, Miss Kuroshi didn't even hesitate. Despite the lingering pain in her lower back, she immediately covered it with her body. "Ha...ha, I haven't found anything about Seele either. Maybe it's true, as the Herrscher of Domination said, that the bad guy and Mei were rescued by a pink fur ball? After all, wasn't the bad guy always accompanied by an armed doll named Fairy Ellie?"

Miss Kuroshi was on the verge of tears, looking at the painting she was holding in her arms. She almost hated the bad guy to the core. Why was she always the one cleaning up his messes, whether it was with Bronya or this time?

at the same time--

Seele is considering how to search for Mei and Kobuchi's whereabouts within the city.

With the city's network completely down, finding Xiaoyuan and Mei would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Perhaps we should first meet up with Bronya and the two doctors to find a solution and ask them if they have any good equipment that can locate the two of them without using the network?

With that in mind, Seele prepared to set off with Miss Black Seele to find Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla.

But when she saw the other person carrying a sleeping bag that was constantly struggling and shaking in one hand and a drawing board with no content visible in the other, a look of confusion and doubt appeared on her face.

"What are you doing, my other self?"

Cold sweat trickled down Miss Hei Xi's cheeks. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she said to Xi'er:

"Ah, this...maybe there's still Mei and that bad guy's scent left on it. Maybe we can find someone with a keen sense of smell to use the remaining scent to find them?"

With the internet completely down, the other person's words served as a reminder to her.

Chapter 485 What?! Postpartum care?!

But where can we find someone with a keen sense of smell who is also adaptable to the Honkai?

Just then—

A lively and enthusiastic voice echoed from outside the dojo to Seele and the other girl's ears.

"Hey~ Mei-nee, Gretchen, are you there? What you want... uh, let me take a look first, canned food. Hurry up, quickly get the items that Mei-nee and Gretchen need out of their backpacks. This is our first order, we can't afford any mistakes."

Padofelis urged the brown kitten carrying her luggage beside her to hurry up.

The canned food meowed in dissatisfaction, feeling unlucky to have such an owner, but still handed the two items to Phyllis with its tiny paws.

Padofelis coughed a few times and read aloud:

"Hmm, one is a book called 'Postpartum Care' to help Xia Yuan improve his meals... For Seele Freeai? Oh dear, canned food, why did you take someone else's package? Mei's book is clearly 'Ten Methods of Medicinal Diet'!"

"Meow~"

"Canned food, how could you make such a silly mistake? We're out of dried fish for tonight. Let's check if Little Greta took the wrong one, right? [How to correctly draw a heavy water balloon] and [Composition tips for body positions]..."

Padofelis compared the purchase list and concluded that she had not made a mistake in ordering the goods.

For some reason, looking at the swaying water balloon cover of the book made Phyllis feel a little embarrassed. Was this really a book that Little Gretchen bought? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this was some strange magazine that Xia Yuan secretly read under the covers.

"Could it be a gift from Little Greta to Brother Xia Yuan? Hmm... I'm so curious, but never mind!"

To Padofelis, every customer is a shiny silver coin. Not prying into customers' privacy is the first principle of [Cat Delivery]. Although she was very curious, she still forced herself to restrain herself.

"Mei-nee, Greta, come out and sign for the package!"

But Padofelis waited outside for a long time and no one showed up. The half-open door with a crack in it made her think of something else. Out of a sense of responsibility, Padofelis led the canned food into the dojo and into the courtyard.

Swish-

As soon as she entered, she felt two extremely intense gazes fixed on her. Rather than looking at her, they were more focused on her tail and the pair of adorable cat ears on her head, which were fused with Honkai Beast genes.

"Um, no, I'm sorry, I must have sent it to the wrong place. Sorry to bother you."

Padoflis wanted to make a quick getaway, but a black figure, faster than her, flashed past and slammed the door shut. This made Padoflis's heart race. Her grand plan of cat delivery had only just begun; was it about to be ruined?

"What are you trying to do? I'm warning you, we have connections in higher places!"

"Don't come any closer... If you keep doing this, we'll have to call for help! Sister Mei, Brother Xia Yuan, come quick and save Pado! Someone's trying to harm your cute little cat!"

Seeing the other party closing in step by step, their blood-red pupils radiating an ominous aura, and the two sharp claws hovering beside her sending chills down her spine, while her warnings had no effect on them at all, Padofelis huddled in the corner of the wall, clutching the can tightly and trembling.

"Alright, alright, stop yelling. I know you know Mei and that bad guy. Now all you need to do is nod or shake your head, understand?"

Without a second thought, Padofilis nodded her head decisively. This was the life that Xia Yuan had given her again, and she couldn't just lose it like this. As long as she could survive, there would always be a glimmer of hope.

"Judging from your tail and ears, your sense of smell must be very sensitive, right?"

"Of course! As long as there's a treasure chest nearby, whether it's in a trash can or in any hidden corner, we can find it!" Padofelis patted her chest and assured them. When it comes to treasure hunting, no one is better than her; it's her area of ​​expertise!

"That's you. Help me and Seele find the bad guy and Mei."

"What?! Mei-nee and Xia Yuan have gone missing?!"

The bad guy they were talking about might be referring to Xia Yuan, which was a huge deal. But before Phyllis could react, Miss Hei Xi grabbed her hood and dragged her into the dojo.

Seele was just trying to tell her other self not to be so violent...

But Miss Kuroki had already dragged Padoflis to the water-stained floor inside the dojo. If they were to trace the scent, they would have to start from the source. Poor little Padoflis had no idea what she was about to experience.

She was still fantasizing about finding Brother Xia Yuan and Sister Mei and making a fortune off them.

After all, the kittens aren't working for free!

at the same time--

In a forest on the outskirts of the city, Xia Yuan's thoughts were still on the moment when the fairy Airi teleported him and Mei away, but at least let him and Mei be separated first... it wouldn't be too late to teleport them, right?

I don't know how much time passed—

A slight chill swept over his body, prompting Xia Yuan to open his eyes.

"It feels chilly below my body..."

Looking at his exposed body, even Xia Yuan, who had experienced the workplace baptism under Bronya's guidance, couldn't help but blush. He quickly pulled up his pants. Where was he? Where were Mei and Fairy Airi?

Or did Ellie's teleportation magic fail, and she and the others were forced to separate during the teleportation process?

A series of questions arose in Xia Yuan's mind.
