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

Xia Yuan nodded honestly, indicating that he understood.

But then I thought about it again...

If I can never see Seele again...

Does that mean we'll never get to eat Seele's cookies and snacks again, and never see Seele's healing smile like an angel again?

What difference would that make from being a walking corpse?

Moreover, since he works under Bronya, it's impossible for him not to see Seele; he needs to come up with a plan.

A way to get through this ordeal.

Suddenly, Xia Yuan thought of someone: his boss, Bronya!

He understood what he had to do.

They could even tie Hei hope to their own ship and put them on the same side.

"You jerk, what do you mean by that? You nod and then shake your head, do you really think I wouldn't dare? If I wasn't afraid of Seele asking, I would have already..."

Hei hope was going to teach Xia Yuan a lesson.

Make him feel fear so much that he runs away whenever he sees you, and then Seele will be yours.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Hei hope was about to make a move, Xia Yuan finally spoke.

"You stinking man, what else do you have to say?"

“Miss Hei hope, have you ever thought that we are actually teammates on the same front?”

Xia Yuan's words piqued Hei hope's interest.

There's no rush to take action; she wants to hear why Xia Yuan would say such a thing.

"You stinking man, what makes you say such a thing?"

“Miss Black Seele, I know you are full of hostility towards me and are worried that I will harm Seele, but have you ever thought that from the beginning, our biggest competitor should have been Bronya?”

Hei hope was stunned.

She began to recall her past memories...

Seele always tasted the snacks herself, making sure they were perfect before bringing them to Bronya.

While shopping, I felt completely invisible, watching Seele and Bronya completely absorbed in their own world...

Taking a bath... Seele rarely bathes with me now; she mostly just asks me to hand her a towel.

Kuroki kept thinking...

The more Xia Yuan seemed to make sense, the more a sense of indescribable bitterness and grievance welled up in her heart.

"Seele thinks about Bronya all the time, but what if Seele thought about Black Seele all the time? Black Seele, have you ever thought about that?"

Seeing that Hei hope was wavering, Xia Yuan continued.

Hei hope couldn't help but start thinking about what Xia Yuan had said. What if Xi'er only thought about herself all day long...?

"My other self, these are some snacks I carefully prepared for you. I hope you like them~"

"My other self... let's go shopping and have afternoon tea together, and eat some cakes~"

"My other self, let's take a bath together~ Don't be shy, we're one and the same..."

As she thought about it, Hei hope's cheeks began to turn red, and steam kept rising from her burning cheeks.

As it happened, this scene was witnessed by Seele, who was worried about the two of them.

"Eh... what is that other me doing to Obuchi?!"

Seele rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things. She moved to a spot a little closer to the two of them.

"You jerk, tell me right now, what do I have to do to make Seele think about me all the time!"

Hei hope grabbed Xia Yuan's collar and asked urgently.

"Grab, grab my collar! Hmm... this... isn't this developing a little too fast...?"

I wonder what my other self is talking about with Xiaoyuan?

But I feel like I can't go out and disturb the two of them right now.

Hiding in a corner, Seele covered her mouth with her hands to keep herself from making a sound, secretly peeking out her deep blue eyes to carefully observe Xia Yuan and Hei hope's every move.

"Miss Hei hope, what did you call me just now?"

Seeing Hei hope's reaction, Xia Yuan gradually gained confidence.

boom--

Xia Yuan pulled Hei hope away from his collar, stretched out his hand towards the wall in front of him, and looked down at Hei hope.

"The tables have turned?!"

No, Seele, what on earth is going on in your little head...?

Hiding in the corner, Seele opened her deep blue eyes wide in disbelief, then shook her head, patted her cheeks with both hands, and banished the distracting thoughts from her mind.

But more ideas emerged.

At this rate, will the next step be...the wedding?!

Should I be another version of myself as my bridesmaid?

Flower wedding...

What would my other self look like in a wedding dress? It would definitely be beautiful...

But what if my other self has a child with Xiaoyuan...?

How should I address myself?

No... I can't take it anymore!

Unable to handle such a massive amount of information, Seele's eyes filled with starlight as she fainted in the corner.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Miss Kuroki~

"Stinky...cough cough...Xiao Yuan, is that alright now? Tell me quickly!"

Hei hope stood on tiptoe, staring intently at Xia Yuan.

His eyes were filled with a flame.

It was as if Xia Yuan wouldn't be able to leave this place unless he told her how to make Seele care about him as much as she cared about Bronya.

"Ahem... Xiao Yuan, was that you, Miss Hei Xi, calling me that? Only Xi'er can address me like that. Miss Hei Xi, you were pulling my collar all the way here, and my shoulder seems a little uncomfortable..."

Xia Yuan rubbed his shoulders, giving a subtle hint to Miss Hei hope.

I'm saying my shoulders are a little sore.

"you!"

never mind.....

It's all worth it if it can win Seele back.

Hei hope forcibly suppressed her anger and came behind Xia Yuan, gently massaging his shoulders.

"Hmm~ a little to the left~, hmm, a little to the right, yes, yes, that's it~"

I felt the force coming from the shoulder behind me.

Xia Yuan nodded in agreement. After being bullied by Bronya and Dr. Einstein for so long, he had finally found someone to tease.

Thirty minutes later...

Hei hope could no longer contain her anger and questioned Xia Yuan: "You big jerk, it's been half an hour already, quickly tell me how to make Xi'er change her mind!"

But Xia Yuan remained unmoved and showed no reaction whatsoever.

Seeing this, Hei hope seemed to have thought of something.

Since the hard approach doesn't work, let's try the soft approach.

Hei hope whispered seductively in Xia Yuan's ear, "As long as you tell me, this card is yours~"

Hei hope reached out and waved her hand at Xia Yuan.

He gestured to the bank card that he had just taken with his chain claw.

"That was originally given to me by Seele, but you took it from me before I even got it. Have you ever heard of the principle of equivalent exchange, Miss Black Seele? It all depends on how high Seele's status is in your heart."

Xia Yuan glanced at it briefly, then narrowed his eyes again.

This is how they tell Hei hope.

To learn how to get Seele's care and attention, you have to pay a certain price.

For example, "Add more money!"

Hei hope really wanted to use her chain claws to cut the squinting, indifferent, stinky man in front of her in two, but her rationality and expectations for Xi Er kept holding her back.

Finally, after a series of internal struggles, Hei hope seemed to give in.

She said in a tone that sounded like she wanted to devour Xia Yuan, "As long as you can make Seele care about me the way she cares about Bronya, I'll give you all the savings I've accumulated over the years, is that alright?"

“Miss Hei hope, I didn’t expect you to be secretly hiding money from Xi’er. I suggest you hand it over to me for safekeeping immediately, otherwise… Miss Hei Xi, you don’t want Xi’er to know about this, right?”

"You dare! Hmph, what's mine is what's Xier's, and what's Xier's is mine. Tell me, you big jerk, are you willing or not!"

If this man in front of me still refuses...

Then we'll just have to throw him into the Sea of ​​Quanta, let him experience what emptiness and long periods of time are like, and release him when he agrees.

"make a deal!"

Xia Yuan dusted himself off, slowly stood up from the wall, and readily extended his left hand to Hei hope.

He was waiting for Hei hope to say those words.

"However, before that, Miss Hei hope, please return Xi'er's bank card to me first~"

Seeing Xia Yuan's outstretched little hand waving back and forth, Hei hope impatiently handed the card back to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan happily held it in his hands.

Once she gets through this ordeal, Bronya will pay Seele back her salary.

If Fairy Airi returns, in a sense, I'll have sold the game cartridges anyway.

“Miss Black Seele, this problem is actually easy to solve. The reason you feel that Seele doesn’t care about you is because most of her attention is focused on Bronya.”

Hei hope listened very attentively.

He even took out an exquisitely crafted black diary to take notes, with red butterflies and flowers engraved on the cover.

Of course, and a list of certain people.

The name that wasn't crossed out at the very bottom was the one that had just been written in: [Xia Yuan].

"So, to sum it up, Miss Blackie, you need a reliable teammate who is specifically responsible for attracting Bronya's attention, and I happen to be Bronya's subordinate, making me the best candidate for you, Miss Blackie."

Xia Yuan paused for a moment, pointed to himself, and continued:

"A dedicated wingman, responsible for providing cover and creating a lively atmosphere."

Cleverly using the surrounding environment to create a private space for you and Seele, as taught by Alicia~

After Xia Yuan finished speaking, he gave Hei hope a graceful bow.

at this time.

A shopping center in Sky City.

Ah Qiu—!

"Strange, can cute fairies catch colds too? It must be that Xia Yuan misses me~"

Ellie the fairy has already visited all five shopping malls in Sky City.

All the materials needed to decorate the party were swept away.

All the money earned from [Honkai Adventure] was used to prepare items for Xia Yuan's welcome party, as well as gifts for the other friends in Paradise.
