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

"Well then, I'll make some snacks for everyone~"

"Great!"

Seeing Fu Hua's serious expression, Rita got up on her own initiative, but her hands remained crossed in front of her lower abdomen, as if she was deliberately enduring something. Xiao Xuan, on the other hand, seemed extremely happy, jumping off the sofa and dancing around.

Happy times are always joyful, especially since she got to have some snacks again!

The bishop was enjoying the hard-earned bitter melon juice. On her way back, she had secretly taken the bottle of bitter melon juice, which she had treasured for many years, from Xia Yuan's room. After all, he had promised her that, so it couldn't be considered stealing; at most, it was returning the item to its rightful owner.

That guy really went too far!

They actually hid the bitter melon juice in such a secure place, like hiding a chemical weapon, and she searched for it for ages. Humph, they don't understand at all how delicious bitter melon juice is.

"Bishop, how's the progress?"

"Ok?"

Theresa raised her head somewhat blankly and looked at Durandal sitting next to her. Did Durandal want to ask her about the progress of her research on bitter melon juice?

Chapter 561 Blockhead, Confess Honestly!

Actually, the progress seems to be quite good.

I believe that in a few months, we will be able to send Valkyries to other worlds to establish bitter gourd ranches.

She wants to transform a world bubble into a farm specializing in the cultivation of various unique plants, providing a continuous supply of food for the native world, and of course, more importantly, producing bitter melon!

As for why it's about soaking in other worlds instead of just finding a place to grow bitter melon, well, amber won't allow it.

"If there's anything I can help you with at work......"

"No, no need, cough cough, it's wrong to slack off during work hours." Although Theresa had spent the whole afternoon drinking bitter melon juice and searching for Xia Yuan, as a bishop, she naturally had to maintain her bishop's dignity, so she explained to Durandal in a serious manner.

Ultimately, the decision rests with the Bishop of Destiny.

Unfortunately... Theresa's words reminded Durandal of her father, who was vacationing in the Hawaiian Islands. In her mind's eye, he even gave her a thumbs up, as if to say, "My good daughter, your father's vacation is in your hands now."

"Um, Bishop, I...I'll go get some water."

Durandal felt she couldn't continue the conversation about the bishop any longer, and hurriedly left Theresa's side.

However, as she passed by Miss Blackie and Seele, Seele's unintentional remark caused Miss Blackie to panic, "That Houmu doll..."

"How would I know where that doll is?"

However, Miss Blackie seemed very guilty, like a child who had done something wrong. She decided not to let Seele know that she had scratched it with her claws. After all, that broken toy was floating like a ghost in the ship's passageway, scaring her. Who else would she scratch if not her claws?

Meanwhile, Xiao Xuan suddenly darted out from beside Fu Hua.

"You blockhead! If it wasn't the Herrscher of Domination invading, do you think it could be aliens? Like in that movie we watched last night, 'Houmu Horror Night,' or maybe it's some kind of 'Derry Stupid Virus' that turns people into idiots, one infecting two?"

She and the blockhead searched for a long time but found no trace of the Herrscher of Domination's intrusion.

If it's not a ghost, then it can only be an alien invasion.

Xiao Xuan added mysteriously, "For example, the Martians closest to us secretly infiltrated our ship, trying to study our operation, etc... Wait a minute! You blockhead, I feel like you've been acting strange these past few days. Could you be a Martian in disguise?"

The Book of Azure Profound scrutinized Fu Hua's every move, seemingly trying to see through her true identity.

"Don't overthink it, it's just a movie."

Fu Hua pushed up her glasses, seemingly trying to stop Xiao Xuan from overthinking all the time.

Just then, Rita presented a plate of chestnut pastries to the two of them. Xiao Xuan couldn't resist when he saw the pastries on the round table. He jumped off the sofa and grabbed one in each hand.

"Hey, it's the exact same snack as this afternoon!"

She happily started eating, completely forgetting about finding the murderer. When it comes to solving a case, snacks are far more important.

"A little sugar can relieve mental fatigue."

Rita's words reminded her, and as if remembering something, Fu Hua looked up at the Red Kite clock hanging on the wall [19:30]. The time did not match the testimony given by the other party earlier.

“Miss Rita, I remember your schedule is usually very full, isn’t it?”

She wanted to confirm with the person in question.

"Of course, Lady Fu Hua, after all, I am also a member of the Destiny Organization. Guiding people to rebuild their homes after the Honkai ends, spreading knowledge, setting up schools, clearing away residual risks, restoring the ecological environment, and going to the wilderness for investigation. My daily life is nothing special, just what a member of the Destiny Organization should do."

Rita skillfully changed the subject. She didn't want the other party to pursue the matter further. It was best for her to keep the details of what happened with Mr. Xia Yuan in the baking room to herself... that way, she wouldn't have to deal with the cleanup.

However, Fu Hua sensed a mysterious and dangerous aura emanating from the other party.

Clearly, Rita didn't want her to delve deeper, but for the safety of everyone on board, she still had an obligation to do so.

“But, Miss Rita, you only took thirty minutes to make these desserts.” Fu Hua sighed, stood up from the sofa, and picked up the plate of chestnut shortbread.

The pastries she had been eyeing had vanished. Xiao Xuan looked pitifully at the blockhead, afraid that the other person would eat them all in one go, since the blockhead also loved these unique Chinese snacks.

"But Rita, you said you spent the whole afternoon making desserts. Can you explain what you're hiding?"

Fu Hua glanced at Mr. Xia Yuan not far away... She felt that what Rita was hiding was related to him.

"Then, Lord Fu Hua, what are you hiding?"

Rita smiled and calmly asked the other party in return. She had already checked and there were no surveillance cameras in the baking room. The hypnotized Mr. Xia Yuan would only think that he had fallen asleep due to exhaustion after making sandwiches. No one would know what had actually happened.

"Even now, you still won't reveal what the missing treasure in the storeroom is."

Upon hearing the word "storage room," Mei and Bronya simultaneously raised their heads, their ears twitching as if trying to hear the conversation between the two, knowing full well what they had done in the warehouse.

Could it be that I accidentally lost that so-called treasure?

After all, it was she and her incompetent subordinates who made such a mess of the warehouse, Bronya thought to herself. Although she had tidied up before leaving, there were bound to be some oversights.

In order to prevent the blockhead from finishing the pastries, and also in order to have better desserts.

Xiao Xuan immediately betrayed her, standing beside Rita and joining their ranks. Pointing at Elmhead, he said, "No wonder you've been acting so mysterious these past few days. You really are an alien in disguise! Although I trust Elmhead's character, what's that saying again? Eliminate all the impossible, and what remains, however improbable, must be the truth!"

"To be honest, it's not really a 'treasure.' These past few days, besides thinking about the Herrscher of Domination, I also wanted to give Kiana a special gift that could represent both the long journey of the past and the prospect of a brand new future."

The fairy machine, resting on Mei's lap, stirred.

Chapter 562 Packing Mei into a gift!

"A gift? That's easy enough!"

"Why not just pack Mei and Xia Yuan into gift boxes and send them to the moon base together? One is her best friend, and the other is her best gaming partner. There's no gift that would make them happier than these two, right? I'm sure Kiana will love them."

"Then he'll come out of the gift box and scare Kiana? Airi, that wouldn't be a surprise, it would be a shock, wouldn't it?"

Perhaps because of the baptism she had gone through, Aunt Mei's personality had become much gentler. There were no electric arcs surging in her fingertips. Instead, she affectionately pinched Airi's chubby little round face, which was resting on her lap.

"Bronya agrees to this plan. How about we pack up that idiot subordinate and Mei now? Raise your hand if you agree."

She was the first to raise her hand and initiate the vote.

Dr. Ai Yin was the second to raise her hand. As a researcher and the head of the New Human Project, she was happy to see this situation.

"???"

A series of question marks appeared above Xia Yuan's head. He hadn't even agreed yet, so why was he already voting?

"YaYa, didn't you consider the feelings of the person involved? I haven't agreed yet! Also, if you want to give QiBao a surprise, you have to pack me and Mei in a huge gift box. Otherwise, once QiBao realizes what's going on, the second gift box definitely won't scare her anymore. Are you sure you really want to put me and Mei [separately] together?"

"?!"

Perhaps thinking of what happened in the storage room, Bronya quietly put her raised hand back down.

Mei, upon hearing this, seemed to want to raise her hand, but she was too embarrassed in front of everyone. Her right hand remained hesitant in front of the fairy Airi's face, unsure whether to raise it or not.

Fairy Airi narrowed her eyes to slits, as she desperately wanted to capture Mei's current expression.

How about calling the album: 【Ripe Bud】?

"Ahem... Bronya was just making a little joke, of course she wouldn't do that, class monitor, please continue."

She gestured for Fu Hua, who was standing next to her, to continue speaking.

If you leave that idiot subordinate with Mei, who knows what might happen inside that giant gift box.

"Actually, I've been working on the gift for Kiana in the storage room these past few days. This afternoon, I went to the lower warehouse to get some parts, and I didn't expect this to happen when I came back."

"Phew... thank goodness, thank goodness, that blockhead didn't do anything dangerous."

Xiao Xuan tapped her head and breathed a sigh of relief. She thought her blockhead had been replaced by a Martian. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she looked at everyone present.

"Rita almost changed the subject. Apart from me and the blockhead, all your testimonies have flaws!"

Rita maintained her smile as always, seemingly unaffected by anything.

Theresa, who was tasting the bitter melon juice, choked on Xiao Xuan's words, while Miss Hei hope looked over with a dissatisfied expression.

Dr. Tesla remained silent, fearing that her identity as a Herrscher of Dominion would be exposed. Bronya and Mei also looked towards the corner, afraid that Xiao Xuan would talk to them.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

None of them dared to meet Xiao Xuan's gaze until Rita, with her eyes closed and a smile on her face, took the initiative to speak.

"I think everyone must have some special reasons for keeping things to themselves. After the Honkai incident came to an end, there are still many things to be resolved. In order to reach that better tomorrow as soon as possible, everyone in Schicksal is doing their best to work hard, especially Lady Theresa. When I brought Lady Theresa a drink, I found that the office was empty, so I did some work within my ability, hoping to let her rest a little longer."

Rita's praise made even Rita herself feel embarrassed.

“Researching bitter melon juice should also be considered work, right? That’s right, developing bitter melon ranches is also for the sake of improving people’s lives.” The bishop hypnotized herself, she hadn’t been slacking off, she had been working diligently, and she hadn’t left all the approval documents to Amber.

"Wait a moment!"

Fu Hua stood up from the sofa and stared intently at the bishop across the round table.

"Miss Rita, you just said the office was empty?"

"Well, that..." The bishop was already sweating profusely, so he had no choice but to confess, "Well, actually, I spent the whole afternoon in the library thinking about some activities. I've been really worried about Kiana. She's all alone on the moon. Even though she always says she's fine when we communicate, she must feel lonely, right?"

He confessed, but he wasn't completely honest.

She only briefly went to the library to read, spending the rest of her time in Xia Yuan's room searching for her treasured bitter melon juice. But since Rita had just said that, she couldn't very well say she was neglecting her duties, could she? Sorry... I guess Kiana will have to take the blame for now.

"Let's show our care for Xiaoqi, who lives alone, starting with... starting with Miss Pink Fairy!"

“Theresa, you’re probably overthinking it. That idiot Kiana is probably having a blast on the moon base. Nobody’s watching her, she’s playing games all day. She hasn’t mastered much of the End Power, but her ranking on the game leaderboard keeps soaring. However, she still can’t shake my position in the game.”

For some reason, Bronya suddenly felt proud, with a touch of superiority.

Mei fell into deep thought.

I wonder if I've been neglecting to supervise Kiana. During our video calls, she kept telling me to relax, and then she cried and said she missed me. It was all an act. I guess I need to keep a closer eye on Kiana from now on.

Chongchong never dreamed that Mei would discover her usual cleverness in such a way.

What awaits her is... Mei's most caring blow!

"Yes, back in St. Freya Academy, Kiana would always be clamoring to play games, ask for red envelopes, and drag everyone into taking photos and group pictures," Fu Hua reminisced about the past.

"Speaking of which, I've prepared a lot of red envelopes this year, and I've also designed a lot of games for everyone to play together. It's sure to be a lot of fun. How about we all play together at the lunar base after we've dealt with the Herrscher of Domination incident?"

The bishop clapped his hands and smiled at everyone.

Miss Blackie immediately became disgusted, and she and Seele beside her pointed at the bishop and whispered something to each other.

Chapter 563 Farewell, my friend!

"Wait, is it going to be another case of cameras taking continuous shots and those who didn't get a shot having to drink bitter melon juice?"

Even Seele's expression gradually became unnatural.

"Hmph, it's a secret. You'll find out soon enough."

Theresa winked at them, which even made Miss Blackie turn into a cat with its fur standing on end. She recalled the fear of being dominated by bitter melon juice. Rather than drinking bitter melon juice, she would rather fight the bad guys or the Herrscher of Domination.

Hmm? Why am I thinking about that jerk again? Forget it, forget it...!

Miss Kuroki was hypnotizing herself.

Xiao Xuan, on the other hand, had her hands on her head, her expression stiff. She suddenly had a bad feeling. Fu Hua's glasses reflected a dazzling light as he stared straight at her, as if he already knew the truth. "Yu, you blockhead, why are you looking at me like that?"

She was already sweating profusely, with cold sweat pouring out.

“Since Ms. Theresa did not go to the office, she naturally cannot prove that you were in the control room this afternoon, Xiao Xuan.”

Cangxuan took a step back, speaking incoherently.

Just as she was wondering how to explain to the blockhead, the maid standing behind her held up a finger. "I can vouch for you. When I went to the office, I did see someone sitting in the control room chair. Since it was rare to see Xiao Xuan working so diligently, I didn't disturb her."

"See? I'm really serious!"

Xiao Xuan continued Rita's words, a smug smile even appearing on her lips. Very good, no one noticed that she had placed the Houmu doll on the chair to impersonate her, and she could keep it a secret forever.

"But after the gravity system went out of control, I didn't see Xiao Xuan in the control room, so I had to manually restore the gravity system to normal."
