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

"What... Mei has already reunited with Yaya?!"

What should I do? Should I grit my teeth and confess the truth to my boss, or continue to hide the truth about him and Mei, or should I put all the blame on the Herrscher of Dominion? No, wasn't everything that happened these past few days caused by her?

What if Mei has already revealed the truth to Bronya...?

He didn't think Bronya would retain the rationality she had as the Herrscher of Reason. Putting aside whether they could wear wedding dresses together, whether he would even be alive to receive his next month's salary was a question worth discussing.

But what if someone could explain this to Bronya in a tactful way?

The more he explained, the more confused he became, and Bronya probably felt more and more that he had something to hide. But others were different. For example, there was Ms. Blackie who happened to be next to her at this moment. Surely she wouldn't leave her best friend to die, right?

Xia Yuan looked at her with burning eyes.

"Hey, you rascal, what's with that look? Why are you staring at me so intently? Let me make this clear, I'm not going to get involved in this mess with you."

Miss Hei Xi felt a chill run down her spine under Xia Yuan's gaze, so she instinctively took precautions and shook off his arm that was draped over her shoulder. As an outsider, she wasn't about to embarrass herself by explaining the bad guy's family affairs to her sister Bronya.

“Dear Ms. Hei Xi, don’t be so formal. We used to be comrades-in-arms who fought side by side. How about this... you explain to Ya Ya for me, say a few nice words, and I’ll make Xi’er change her mind about you, how about that?”

But Miss Kuroki seemed to be recalling unpleasant experiences.

She had developed a psychological aversion to cookies because of a bad idea suggested by a jerk, and she would never listen to any of his suggestions again.

"Hmph, you bad guy, don't try that on me. Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

"Isn't it just that if things get out of control, you want me to be your shield and stop Bronya from dealing with you? I'll handle Seele's situation myself. I'd love for you to embarrass yourself in front of Bronya and Mei."

"That would be domestic violence!"

Miss Kuroki stood with her hands on her hips, looking like she was waiting to see some fun, but now she had a smile on her face. "You deserve it. Who told you to be so irresponsible and not restrain yourself? Now you've made a big mess of things, haven't you?"

Seeing the other person's face brighten, Xia Yuan muttered to himself:

"Mmm... This is the real you, Miss Kuroki. You look much better than when you were frowning earlier. You look better when you smile."

"You mean, you bad guy, what are you saying? Do you think I'm not pretty when I'm not smiling? Fine, I don't want to talk to you, I'm going to see Seele. I'm not going to argue with you~"

She hurriedly left Xia Yuan's side, concealing her flushed cheeks, and ran quickly towards the direction where Seele and the Herrscher of Knowledge were. She needed to think carefully about how to win Seele back and also check on the current situation of that unfortunate Herrscher of Knowledge.

However, halfway through, he suddenly turned around and said to Xia Yuan behind him:

"However, since you, you bad guy, at least tried your best to comfort me, I can put in a good word for you with Bronya and plead your case. But this is a one-time thing, don't let it happen again~"

Her receding figure, at this moment, seemed like an angel in Xia Yuan's eyes.

Sure enough, even Miss Hei Xi couldn't hide her gentle side, Xia Yuan muttered to himself, which made Xiao Yuexia, who was always tugging at his trouser leg, feel a strong sense of crisis.

After this incident involving the Herrscher of Domination is over, humanity might abandon her and send her to a Destiny Bishop who looks exactly like her. In order to avoid being abandoned by humanity, she must find a way to stay by their side forever.

Thinking back to their conversation, Xiaoyue's beautiful reddish-brown pupils darted around.

Bronya, Mei, and the human—the relationship between them—suddenly gave her an idea to stay with humans forever.

Each of them had their own thoughts, and Miss Hei hope had already arrived in front of Xi'er and Shi Bao.

"The Herrscher of Domination hasn't completely disappeared. What I just severed was only a part of its main body, but the chains binding it can't be removed yet. I'm sorry, if I had arrived a little earlier..."

Seele lowered her head and expressed her apology to Xiaoshi in front of her.

"Hey, what are you saying? This isn't your fault, Seele, it's no big deal. Even though I can't walk right now, I can still hop around easily. Seele, just watch me!"

To cheer Seele up, the Herrscher of Knowledge, bound by chains, hopped and skipped from side to side in place.

Perhaps infected by the other party's optimistic and cheerful personality, Seele's little face blossomed with a smile again. After meeting up with Bronya and Mei, she asked the two doctors to take a look, hoping they might have a way to solve the problem of the chains on Xiao Shi.

"Tsk, how come you've disappeared in the blink of an eye? Herald of Knowledge, you've stopped being a chivalrous hero and switched to being a street performer?"

"This... uh, the lady whose face is as red as a monkey's bottom, oh, it's another Seele. I'm sorry, I almost didn't recognize her for a moment." Miss Black Seele quickly covered her cheeks. Was her face really as red as the other person described?

"Hmph, I won't argue with a child. Seele, let's go and meet up with Bronya and the others."

Miss Kuroki took the lead and headed towards the city, but behind her, on the ground, there was a figure being dragged along by chain claws.

"I said, is it really necessary to hold a grudge like this? All I did was say your face turned red."

"Who said I hold grudges? Why would I bother arguing with a child? If you skipped and hopped like that, how long would it take us to meet up with Bronya and the others?"

Chapter 500: It seems Mei has found her target too!

"I asked you, what exactly did you say to the customer? Your face was unusually red when you came in."

Miss Hei Xi did not respond to Shi Bao, but silently gripped the chain wrapped around the claw and strode forward. This caused Shi Bao a lot of trouble, as her buttocks were constantly rubbed against the uneven gravel.

"Ouch, slow down, slow down! If you keep pulling like that, your butt is going to get dragged in two! The customer and Xi'er haven't caught up yet!"

Amidst a peaceful atmosphere and the petty grumbling and cursing.

Xia Yuan, Xi'er, and the others are heading towards the city center, preparing to meet up with Bronya and Mei.

at the same time--

"Sister Aili, Sister Mei, as agreed, Canned Food and I have delivered you to the place Seele specified. We still have other deliveries to make, so we'll take our leave now. As for the commission, don't worry, we've already put it on Xia Yuan's tab~"

Padoflis waved her little hand at the two of them.

With the city's network currently down, this is a golden opportunity for her to establish Cat Express and contract out business. She must seize this opportunity to help more people and leave a good impression on potential customers.

"Thank you for your hard work, Pado."

Mei, supported by the fairy Airi beside her, watched Padofelis leave.

"Hmm, it seems that little Phyllis has integrated into the present era and found her future goals. The barrier from before is gone~" Looking at the fighting spirit rising in her heterochromatic eyes, Fairy Airi silently wished this lovely girl well in her heart.

"By the way... how is Mr. Xia Yuan doing now?"

"Don't worry, Mei. The fairy love chip I left on Xia Yuan indicates that she is in excellent health. She must be lively and energetic, searching for us and sending us messages. The smoke and loud noises that came from the depths of the forest not long ago might have been signals from Xia Yuan. Xi'er has already gone there. What we need to do now is wait here for them to come back."

But Mei's gaze remained fixed on the forest outside the city.

"If she hadn't fallen for the Herrscher of Domination's scheme, Mr. Xia Yuan wouldn't have been in danger..."

"Mei, my dear Mei, my most beloved Mei, here we go again! How many times has this happened on the way here? Let me count, it's been at least ten times. Mei is just spouting nonsense about not being able to do anything. Even if the password is correct, Mei, you still need to take better care of yourself~"

Fairy Airi affectionately stroked Mei's bulging belly with her little hands.

"Speaking of which, not only has little Phyllis found her purpose in life, but Mei, you have also found your path to the future. I just wonder if Miss Pink Fairy has the honor of being my godmother?"

A blush crept onto Mei's cheeks.

"Aili, could you please stop bringing up what happened at the dojo? It's not what you think... Mr. Xia Yuan has been enduring for too long under the manipulation of the Herrscher of Domination, I'm afraid he..."

However, the more Mei explained, the more teasing the fairy Airi's eyes became.

"I understand, I understand," the fairy Ellie assured, patting her little chest.

"Mei, you're actually shy. Even though you've become more mature and beautiful, you're still that girl inside who gets shy and wants to hide in a corner if you touch your horn. But Airi isn't an outsider~ Mei, you can secretly tell me what it feels like. The Pink Fairy swears she'll never tell anyone else."

The fairy Airi's eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"Hmm... Airi, what happened at the dojo? I don't seem to remember anything." Mei selectively forgot, but the fairy Airi pouted unhappily. How could she not know that Mei was pretending to have amnesia in order not to tell her? But the pink fairy was not a fairy who would give up so easily!

"Mei, my dear Mei, please tell me~"

She kept shaking Mei, trying to get her to speak by being affectionate, but Mei remained silent.

"If Mei doesn't tell me soon, I'm going to ask him myself in the bedroom after Xia Yuan wakes up the Pink Fairy!" Mei's pupils widened slightly, and after a moment—perhaps having calmed down a bit—she slowly spoke:

"Um... Airi, are you okay with what happened at the dojo?"

After all, Ellie had been disguised as an armed doll and stayed by Mr. Xia Yuan's side. It would be a lie to say that there were no feelings between the two of them. Moreover, she must have been very upset to witness such a thing right after waking up.

"Why would I mind? Let me tell you something secretly, Mei. Xia Yuan cuddles with me every night when we sleep, and he even washes me himself when I take a bath. Keep this a secret from everyone else~ Pink Fairy's biggest wish right now is to cuddle with Xia Yuan in one arm and with you, Mei, in the other, and sleep together under the same blanket. That way, Airi will have double the happiness."

Mei simply glanced at the fairy Airi's height and proportions.

It seems that Mr. Xia Yuan doesn't see Aili, who is still an armed doll, as a woman, but rather as a cuddly pillow... It's best not to tell Aili this cruel truth, but it's not a good idea to keep letting Aili keep saying this.

"By the way, Ellie, why don't you tell me about the other heroes? I'd like to know how they're doing these days?"

Fairy Airi put her little finger in her mouth and sucked on it for a moment, then said:

"As you can see, Mei, little Paddo is busy expanding her business, Hua has gone into seclusion in the mountains to cultivate, little Gretchen wants to grow up quickly and become an adult, and dear Dr. Mebius has actually become a homebody who stays at home all day without going out."

"Hehe, that's very much in Dr. Mebius's style."

Mei chuckled softly.

"Ugh, Mei, don't even mention it. If this keeps up, I won't even be able to use Mebius's wardrobe. As for Kosmo, he was influenced and inspired by Xia Yuan to go and make cool and handsome tokusatsu movies. Sakura seems to have become a middle manager in some company, leaving early and returning late every day. Su has picked up his old profession again and opened a small clinic to become a doctor."

"But Mei, you'd never guess what Senju is doing right now."

Ellie squinted and kept everyone in suspense.

"Thousand Tribulations? What would that man do?" Mei couldn't help but wonder about him.

Chapter 501 Mei's Expectations

Judging from Qianjie's personality...

He'll probably be arrested and put in solitary confinement at the Destiny headquarters for fighting, causing trouble, or other crimes, right? I hope Destiny and Theresa are alright, and at least that Qianjie doesn't destroy the entire Destiny.

Mei prayed silently, her thoughts wandering.

Before she could even speak, the fairy Ellie had already eagerly revealed information about Thousand Tribulations, but it was completely different from what she had expected.

"Hmph, Mei, you'd never guess... Qianjie is now the head chef at a Houmu restaurant. It's said that his food is so delicious that his unique and passionate cooking methods have become incredibly popular, and then they were posted online and went viral overnight."

"Now, fans take photos with her all day long. Her popularity has even surpassed that of the Houmu in Houmu Restaurant. She's almost become the restaurant's newest mascot and a must-visit spot. Here... this is a photo that Miss Pink Fairy secretly took on site at great risk of turning into a charcoal-grilled fairy."

Looking at the photo that the fairy Airi handed her, Mei couldn't help but purse her lips to stop herself from laughing out loud.

She found it hard to believe that Qianjie, with his personality, would allow someone to put their arm around his shoulder for a photo. Even though the other person was still wearing a mask in the photo, she could sense their feelings. It seemed that Qianjie had finally found a place where he could be accepted.

"What are Ellie, Velvet, Eden, Aponia, and Kevin doing right now?"

Mei returned the photo to the fairy Airi and asked her curiously.

"Hmm... Well~ Vilvie is helping rebuild the city that was destroyed by the Honkai at the construction site. She said she wanted to contribute her share to the present. As for Kevin, I don't know what he was thinking. He finally found a good job with a 9-to-5 job and weekends off, but he gave up his programmer job and went to Siberia to become an ice sculptor. According to him, this behavior is very cool!"

Ellie shook her head regretfully. If it were Xia Yuan, he would probably be making a fuss and jumping ship from Bronya's company.

"Hehe~ It's so great that everyone has found their goals and place in the world. But speaking of which, Ellie... why didn't you mention Eden and Aponia?"

Ellie's gaze darted away, then she sighed.

"Mei, do you know who else is in the 'Three Recluses' group besides our dear Dr. Mebius?"

"Hmm... My dear Eden spends all her time cooped up at home drinking, and Aponia treats her home like a prison. She's still the same as she was in Paradise. I really want them to come out and get some sunshine so they can see the world properly~"

The fairy Ellie sobbed, wiping away the tears that welled up in the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

However, she also had a solution.

If we just let Xia Yuan into the inner world of Eden, Aponia, and Mebius, and let them completely open their hearts, wouldn't that be enough...?

Mei remained silent, but this was exactly what she expected.

After all, Eden herself felt that she did not belong to the present era. Even after defeating the Honkai, Eden always believed that she was a remnant of the old era. Aponia probably stayed at home because she was afraid that the commandments on her body would have an impact on others.

I wonder if Destiny has any way to resolve the issue of the Commandments that is troubling Aponia?

Mei pondered...

Just then, the sound of a sliding door interrupted her thoughts, and Bronya peeked out from the crack in the special metal door.

“I’ve been watching you, Mei, inside for ages. Now that you’re here… why aren’t you coming in? What are you doing standing around outside like this? Be careful of the Herrscher of Domination’s spies in the city. Seele isn’t with us right now; it would be troublesome if they found out.”

Bronya, peeking through the crack in the door, observed the surrounding street and waved to Mei, signaling her to come in quickly.

Urged on by Bronya, Mei, supporting herself against the wall, staggered into the safe haven that the two doctors had temporarily converted. However, the door was far too small; how was she supposed to get in through such a narrow crack?

"Bronya, can't you open the door a little wider for your Mei sister...?" Mei was stuck in the crack of the door and couldn't move. She looked at Bronya with a resentful expression, feeling that Bronya was deliberately teasing her.

"Ahem, this was all Dr. Tesla's idea, saying that narrow entrances and exits would be harder for the Herrschers to detect. Actually, I've been stuck on this door many times before. Anyway, Mei, I'll pull you in now..."

Looking at the forced smile on Bronya's lips.

Mei knew that the other person had been waiting at the door for a long time, just waiting for her to come in. She helplessly stretched out her hands and replied, "Bronya, is it fun teasing your Mei-neechan? If you've had enough... hurry up and help your Mei-neechan up."

But after a moment—

Mei's body remained stuck in front of the door, her protruding and full of energy belly gradually becoming oval and tending to slide downwards under the pressure of the door crack. This made Mei unable to help but close her legs, which were still outside the door crack.

"Hmm..."

Rapid and somewhat strange breathing echoed throughout the outpost.

Bronya, almost out of energy, looked at Mei with a panting gaze. "Hey Mei, have you gained a lot of weight lately... a lot? Especially the fat on your belly, it's almost bursting out of your clothes."
