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

The fairy Airi piled up the props in the surrounding small hill...

They were all thrown into the afterlife through a portal.

Little Klein, who was cleaning up Dr. Mebius's bombed-out laboratory, suddenly detected abnormal fluctuations in Paradise.

"Is this a gift box?"

Klein looked somewhat bewildered at the exquisite gift box beside her, which was the same size as herself.

Immediately afterwards...

More and more gift boxes kept falling from the portal in the sky.

But Klein did not leave; instead, he remained where he was, carefully examining the changes in the data of the Paradise of the Past.

"It seems that apart from the rain of gift boxes in the sky, there is nothing unusual in the data."

Klein opened one of the gift boxes.

Inside were pink ribbons and colorful confetti, and even a strange little dress that fit her perfectly.

"Perhaps Alicia prepared these gift boxes?"

If Dr. Möbius, who is still angry, were to see these gift boxes, they would surely be thrown away as meaningless junk.

In short, these gift boxes cannot be left unattended.

Having just finished cleaning up the laboratory ruins, Klein decided to pile up all the gift boxes together.

"Phew, finally finished!"

The fairy Ellie clapped her hands, and the mountain of gift boxes disappeared.

"I wonder if Xia Yuan misses me a lot since he hasn't seen me for several hours?"

Perhaps too weak from hunger to move, little Xia Yuan, groaning in place, is praying that some kind fairy will descend from the sky and offer her a delicious bento box?

Chapter 40 Timido~

Ellie, the thrifty fairy,

Carrying a cheap bento box she bought at the mall in her small hands, she prepared to set off to find Xia Yuan.

at the same time.

Timido rushed over hoping to do her part to help Mr. Xia Yuan through his difficulties, but when she arrived at the tent, she did not find Xia Yuan.

"Um... hello, my name is Timido. Have you seen Mr. Xia Yuan, who used to have a stall here? He has black, curly hair... and is about this tall."

Timido stretched out her finger and described Xia Yuan's appearance to Dr. Einstein.

"Yes, the suspect, Mr. Xia Yuan, has already fled, and I, as his accomplice, am helping him clean up the mess."

Dr. Einstein was worried about how to move the drunken, unconscious Dr. Tesla out of the house.

Timido's arrival undoubtedly gave Ai Yin a new idea.

Aiyin pulled back the tent flap, revealing to Timido that Dr. Tesla was lying inside.

"I'm sorry, Miss Timido, you've already seen my face, so I can't let you go. But considering that you know Mr. Xia Yuan, I can give you a choice: join us."

The sheer amount of information contained in Dr. Einstein's few words shocked Timido.

“Handling…handling?! Mr. Xia Yuan, he…he is…”

Timido had already mentally filled in the blanks about Mr. Xia Yuan's true identity.

On the surface, he's the producer in charge of the game "Alahato"...

But behind the scenes, he's actually a top-tier assassin feared throughout Sky Dome City?!

What should I do?

She had only recently joined St. Freya Academy as an unofficial member of the Valkyrie team.

This lady with light blue curly hair seems very calm.

They look like they're not to be messed with...

Hmm... I definitely can't beat him with my current strength level as someone who just joined the St. Freya Academy.

Timido seemed a little lost.

On one hand, she didn't think Mr. Xia Yuan would be a bad person; on the other hand, she was concerned about her own safety...

If you don't join, you'll end up like that red-haired girl with twin tails lying in the tent.

It was quietly disposed of by this woman with light blue curly hair.

"Calm down, Timido, believe in yourself, you can do it."

Timido took a deep breath.

I plan to join in first, and then observe how things develop.

If Mr. Xia Yuan is indeed the mastermind behind the mysterious organization hidden in Sky Dome City...

Timido firmly believes that people can change.

As long as we do our best, we will surely be able to influence Mr. Xia Yuan.

"I'm joining you."

Timido, having made up her mind, said to Dr. Einstein.

“Young lady, a wise choice~ You can call me [Ain]. Now is the first test for joining the organization: move Dr. Tesla, who is lying in the tent, to the place I designate.”

A faint smile appeared on Ai Yin's lips, unnoticed by anyone.

She had only intended to tease the somewhat nervous girl.

But to Ai Yin's surprise, the other party actually believed her words. Was everyone who knew Xia Yuan, besides herself and Bronya, so adorably naive?

"Dr. Tesla?!"

Timido never expected that the red-haired girl lying in the tent was actually from the same era as Bishop Theresa.

She recalled that when she was at St. Freya College, her classes had covered the great contributions made by Dr. Tesla.

The first test I faced after joining the organization was actually moving Dr. Tesla, who looked like he was already unconscious!

Mr. Xia Yuan, who exactly are you...?

What exactly do you want to do?

Timido made up her mind to uncover the mystery hidden in Mr. Xia Yuan.

Filled with nervousness and unease, Timido approached Dr. Tesla.

"I'm so sorry, Dr. Tesla. Please forgive me. I will definitely rescue you!"

Timido easily hoisted Dr. Tesla onto her shoulder.

"Valkyrie? But it seems there's no record of her personal information in the Destiny Database. Or is she a student who just arrived at St. Freya, and her identity information hasn't been registered and uploaded to the Destiny Database yet?"

Ai Yin was somewhat surprised, astonished by the power that Timido was displaying at this moment.

But this couldn't be better.

Since it was so easy to move the drunken Dr. Tesla, there was naturally no need for me to put in any more effort.

After all, I'm just an ordinary researcher.

And so, Timido carried the unconscious Dr. Tesla away from the tent under Dr. Einstein's instructions.

Timido always felt that passersby on the street would look at her from time to time.

This made Timido feel very nervous.

"Um... Senior Ai-in, is it really okay to walk around on the street like this, openly with Dr. Tess?"

Timido couldn't help but ask.

After all, in Timido's view, the mysterious organization hidden in the city should be the kind that wears black clothes and walks in the alleys.

They are efficient and decisive in their work, and walk silently.

I will never expose myself to the outside world.

Timido felt that if they continued on this path, someone would soon inform Destiny and send a Valkyrie to investigate the matter.

Wouldn't this ruin my plan to persuade Mr. Xia Yuan?

Timido quickly hid in a corner.

"Don't worry, Timido, I've hacked into all the nearby electronic surveillance cameras. They can't see us. As for the pedestrians, don't worry about them. Once they're a certain distance away from us, they'll forget what they just saw."

Timido was so shocked she was numb.

Could it be that Mr. Xia Yuan has already secretly taken control of the entire Sky Dome City?

Hmm, I suddenly feel a lot of pressure.

This is clearly a problem I can't solve on my own; I need to find a reliable person to share the burden...

Timido thought of her good friend Carol, whom she had met at St. Freya Academy.

I hope to get her help.

Dr. Einstein found the girl's flustered expression and behavior quite amusing.

Therefore, the genius scientist Ai Yin decided to portray Xia Yuan as a hidden mastermind in Sky City who even controls destiny.

Ellie, the fairy, returned with her lunchbox, but found no trace of Xia Yuan inside the small tent.

"Strange, where did Xia Yuan go?"

The fairy Ellie was flying in the air searching for Xia Yuan's whereabouts when she happened to see Dr. Einstein walking on the road.

"Aiyin, good morning! Have you seen my little Xiayuan yet?"

The fairy Airi greeted Ai Yin.

Perhaps we can find out Xia Yuan's whereabouts from Dr. Einstein.

Chapter 41: Handshake and Reconciliation

When Ai Yin was researching Xia Yuan in the laboratory...

She had seen the armed doll in front of her, named Fairy Airi, who greeted her.

It's fair to say I'm quite familiar with it.

"Good morning, Fairy Ellie. It seems that the busy Mr. Xia Yuan has been summoned by Bronya. Perhaps we could find something unexpected by checking out the nearby courier station."

This time, Dr. Einstein surprisingly told the truth.

It guided the fairy.

She wanted the fairy Ellie to leave as soon as possible, in case Timido, whom she had tricked into coming here, showed up later.

His plan to portray Xia Yuan as the mastermind behind Tianqiong City was about to fall through before it even began.

After learning of Xia Yuan's whereabouts, the fairy Ellie waved goodbye to Dr. Einstein.

at this time.

Timido, carrying Dr. Tesla, carefully emerged from the shadows.

"Ain...senpai, who was that flying armed puppet just now?"

Watching the fairy Airi fly away into the distance, Timido asked, perhaps presumptuously.

"Yes, just as you think, young lady, she is also a member of the organization, serving as Xia Yuan's personal bodyguard, and inside her is a Honkai energy reactor capable of destroying the entire Sky Dome City."

"Eh eh eh!"

But then Dr. Einstein continued to comfort Timido:

"Girl, there's nothing to worry about. It won't be activated unless Xia Yuan's life is threatened."

As for Dr. Tesla... even if you carried her around Sky City, Schicksal wouldn't send a Valkyrie over there, because I've already taken care of things there.”

Dr. Einstein's words confirmed two things for Timido.

1. We must absolutely not allow Mr. Xia Yuan to be harmed.

2. It turns out that there are people from within the organization in both St. Freya Academy and Destiny Academy...
