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

He only hoped that he could rescue Siegfried before the bishop arrived.

Half an hour later, Xia Yuan gradually dug down to the shoulder area.

Siegfried felt that he could move his hands a little more. Looking at the young man beside him, whom he didn't know at all, who was so dedicated to saving him, he was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

The idea that daughters are like warm little cotton-padded jackets is utter nonsense!

The younger daughter is unreliable, and the older daughter is untrustworthy. Not only does she not speak well of him, but she also stands by that little bishop and watches helplessly as her father is buried in the ground. In times of crisis, it is the brothers who can be relied upon.

The more he thought about it, the more satisfied he became with the young man who had saved him.

These days, it's rare to see such kind-hearted people. Ever since that little guy became the Bishop of Destiny, the Valkyries have all been corrupted by him and have completely lost their former cuteness. I wonder what kind of girl this young man likes.

Chapter 670 Too strong, hard to marry!

It would be even better if the two families could become related through marriage.

However, when Siegfried recalled his eldest daughter's rather exaggerated fighting prowess... his lips twitched slightly.

【The Strongest Valkyrie of Destiny】 = Too strong, hard to marry!

"Ahem... Hey young man, do you like girls who exude a strong sense of security?" He was so worried about his daughter that he even went so far as to lower his pride and embellish his appearance, which in a sense could be considered maximizing his safety factor.

until--

Siegfried keenly heard the sound of high heels walking in the distance, a sound he had been most familiar with these past few days, yet also the most hated.

The other party was the evil maid sent by that little bishop to monitor him, who was also his eldest daughter's adjutant and the executor of those shady plans that Otto had carried out.

If she finds out... and I try to escape, I'll inevitably get a beating with bitter melon juice.

At the very least, he couldn't implicate his newly acquainted younger brother.

"Young man, there's no time to explain, get out of here!"

Xia Yuan's hands, which were digging into the soil, stopped involuntarily. He looked at Siegfried with some confusion. What was his father-in-law up to? Why was he suddenly being chased away? Was he going to stop digging or not? Did the bishop have already returned?

Just as Xia Yuan was about to get up and investigate, a sharp scythe was pressed against Siegfried's neck from behind.

"Lord Siegfried, are you planning to run away again?"

Rita smiled, still as elegant as ever. Unfortunately, she could only adhere to a professional attitude and principle towards this colleague who often didn't respond to her work requests, since it was an order personally given by Lady Theresa.

Beads of cold sweat gradually appeared on Siegfried's face.

"Rita, please let this young man go for the sake of our past few days as colleagues. It's all my fault. I asked this young man who was passing by for help. If you have any problems, come at me. It has nothing to do with him!"

"Lord Siegfried, are you only just realizing we're colleagues?"

Because Xia Yuan was still hanging down with his head covered in mud, the elegant head maid didn't immediately realize his identity; her attention was entirely focused on the white-haired uncle who was buried.

However, after realizing that it was Rita who had arrived, Xia Yuan resumed the digging rescue operation.

“When you were giving me instructions over the communications, you never treated Rita like a colleague. You even set the communications to auto-respond. Lord Siegfried, how can Rita trust you? As Lady Durandal’s father, you should set a better example.”

"Yes, yes, Rita, you're right. So, can you release this little brother next to me now?"

Siegfried nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

This young man she had just met was still digging in front of Rita to rescue her. He really... No matter what price she had to pay this time, she could go back and work for the little bishop for another ten or twenty years. She couldn't let her young man suffer this injustice.

Otherwise, he would be ashamed of his Kaslana surname.

Rita was very curious about what kind of person could make Siegfried, who was usually uncooperative with her work, suddenly become determined. When she walked up to Xia Yuan, she could vaguely make out his outline from the mud.

"Mr. Xia Yuan?"

"Oh, it's Rita. Long time no see."

Xia Yuan greeted her the moment he looked up, then went back to his work, completely unaware of his father-in-law's shock. How could this young man be so calm and composed when he knew Rita?

Doesn't he know how many people Otto Apocalypse has secretly dealt with on his behalf?

He actually had a hard time dealing with people like Rita; he couldn't handle them and had no idea what was hidden behind her smile. He just didn't want to put his eldest daughter in a difficult position.

One second you might be leisurely enjoying afternoon tea, and the next second you might be on someone else's task list.

Congratulations... you've won!

The other party will faithfully carry out every order in the plan; they are a cold-blooded and ruthless assassin. The maid identity is merely a habit and a disguise. Right now, they are carrying out the orders from the little bishop—Theresa.

This is Siegfried's assessment of the other party.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Xia Yuan. I remember the last time we met was on the spaceship heading to the lunar base. After returning to the Tianming Base, Rita actually wanted to learn the craft of making Shenzhou's unique pastries from you again. When would you be free to come to my room for a chat?"

Upon realizing that the "little brother" Siegfried was referring to was Mr. Xia Yuan, he naturally withdrew the scythe.

With her hands clasped together in front of her slightly protruding belly, and an alluring blush on her cheeks, she squatted down, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped away the dirt remaining on Xia Yuan's face.

"Pastries?"

Xia Yuan stopped what he was doing and pondered for a moment. He was unfamiliar with the Tianming headquarters and needed an old friend to guide him. So far, there was probably no one more suitable than Rita as his guide.

"Okay, but could you wait until I get this uncle out first?"

"It's really hard to bear seeing someone buried in a bitter gourd field. By the way... I think I just heard that Rita, you were sent by Theresa to guard the old man. If I release him, will you be alright, Rita?"

I felt it was a bit inappropriate for him to bring up his father-in-law in front of Rita.

“Mr. Xia Yuan, you are overthinking it. Rita is trying to help her master solve his troubles, not add to them. You don’t need to worry about Rita’s feelings. As for Lady Theresa, I will say that Lady Siegfried broke free of his restraints on his own.”

The maid beside him leaned close to his ear, her magnetic voice possessing a magical power that stirred his heartstrings.

"I will turn a blind eye to your situation."

In just a few minutes, Siegfried was shocked countless times. This little guy who was passing by actually held a higher place in Rita's heart than that tiny bishop. In the past few days, he had asked the little guy for help countless times.

The cold maid was like a heartless, inanimate machine.

When he was thirsty, they would give him bitter melon juice; when he was hungry, they would let him eat the bitter melons around him. Although he admitted that it was wrong of him to skip work and go on vacation, this was still too cruel.

Then this curly-haired young man arrived.

With just a few words, he managed to get the "evil maid" beside him to turn a blind eye and let him go?

Chapter 671 What?! He's wanted?!

There are differences between people.

If he could move, he would definitely give his new buddy a few thumbs up. My friend, this is amazing! It means he's finally saved and will never have to keep company with these bitter gourds again.

"Oh my friend, you're absolutely amazing!"

Faced with his father-in-law's effusive praise, Xia Yuan felt a little embarrassed. He could say that he had gained the other party's approval by accident. But the excavation work still had to continue, after all, they had only reached the shoulder area, and there were still 4/3 of the progress to be completed.

If only we could get Velvi to bring the construction team over...

"Mr. Xia Yuan, why don't you let Rita handle such a small matter as digging?" the all-powerful maid whispered beside him.

It's good to have someone to help, but apart from the scythe with the rose pattern on her back, Rita doesn't seem to be carrying any digging tools. She can't exactly use the scythe as a hoe, can she? Maybe she can give it a try?

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Rita."

He moved aside a bit, making room for the other person.

"Rita will obey your orders, but please keep your distance to avoid being affected later." She gave an elegant bow, but did not squat down. Instead, she held the scythe behind her back in her hand again.

Seeing Rita holding up the scythe above her head, looking just like an executioner about to carry out an execution, Xia Yuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart and subconsciously took several steps back. Did Siegfried and Rita have some deep-seated hatred between them?

"Ahem... My friend, if anything happens to me, I entrust my eldest daughter to your care."

As if giving his last words, Siegfried closed his eyes tightly.

But the expected pain did not come. Instead, there was a violent tremor that shook the earth, followed by the sound of the surrounding soil cracking. To his surprise, he found that his body seemed to be able to move.

But when Siegfried opened his eyes again and saw the messy bitter gourd field, cold sweat poured out.

The damage caused is probably no less than that of his eldest daughter, right? It's true that like captain, like adjutant. Believe it or not, with such violence, he'll never get married in his life, cough cough... except for his eldest daughter.

Who can blame her daughter for having such a good father?

Now that we're out here, for the sake of my daughter's marriage, why not strike while the iron is hot and take this opportunity to treat my younger brother to a meal, and while we're at it, lure my eldest daughter over and try to matchmake the two of them?

Cecilia, in heaven, would surely praise him as a dutiful father.

[My dear daughter, come to Houmu Restaurant right away, Daddy needs to talk to you about something important.]

Before he could invite the young man who had intervened and rescued him to have a meal at the Houmu Restaurant, Rita swung her scythe and blocked his way, seemingly not wanting him to meet Mr. Xia Yuan.

"Lord Siegfried, Rita has a piece of advice for you: please leave Schicksal headquarters as soon as possible."

"leave?"

Why did he leave the Destiny Headquarters? What difference was there between that and running away with his tail between his legs? Besides... he still had to treat his little brother to a meal. Last time, it was his carelessness that allowed that little bishop to tie him up.

How could we possibly repeat the same mistake this time? He's just a short-legged little guy; he can't even outrun him.

at the same time--

Xia Yuan slowly approached Rita from behind. Looking at the bitter gourd field, now completely destroyed and a mess, he couldn't help but wonder, "Rita, is it really okay that the bitter gourd field is ruined like this?"

“It’s alright, Mr. Xia Yuan. Just now, I sent a message to Lady Theresa, along with a photo of Lord Siegfried escaping. This was all Lord Siegfried’s personal act to escape, and it has nothing to do with us.”

Rita recounted her actions with a smile and a calm expression.

She didn't want to have a third wheel around when she was with Mr. Xia Yuan, even if he was Lady Durandal's father.

"Wh-what?!"

Siegfried underestimated Rita. She was no omnipotent maid; she was clearly a devil in a maid's coat.

The other party destroyed the bitter gourd field, but I'm the one who's taking the blame. If that little guy who became a bishop finds out, he might not be keeping company with the bitter gourds anymore, but instead become the bitter gourd field in the field. No, I can't stay here any longer. I have to leave as soon as possible.

[My dear daughter, plans have changed. Don't go to the Houmu Restaurant. Wait for Dad's message. Over—]

"Young man, things can change quickly. I'll treat you to dinner another day, okay? I have to go now. See you later, my friend~~~"

Siegfried waved casually at the two of them, and his figure quickly disappeared into the distance.

He knew that given that not-so-small's personality, Schicksal would definitely impose martial law, restrict passage, and issue a warrant for his arrest. Theresa was absolutely capable of doing such a thing, so he had to sneak out of Schicksal headquarters as soon as possible before anyone was on guard.

The Valkyries have all been corrupted by that little bishop.

On the other hand, the bishop had just been escorted back to her office by Susanna.

Before she could even sit down and relax her slightly stiff and taut bottom, she received a notification from Rita and a picture of a bitter gourd patch in complete disarray. "I...I painstakingly planted these bitter gourds!!!"

Theresa felt like her world was collapsing.

First, she was harassed by that scoundrel Xia Yuan the whole way, then she was misunderstood by Susanna, and then her bitter gourd field was ruined. But the first two things were far less infuriating than the last one.

That was an improved bitter gourd variety that she had painstakingly cultivated, capable of adapting to most environments. It was meant to be taken to other worlds to develop bitter gourd farms, but years of hard work were destroyed in an instant.

"Siegfried, you bastard, I will never forgive you!"

Once she catches that bastard, she'll definitely send him to another world to develop her farm.

He slammed down a button on the table. "The Mandate of Heaven is about to enter a state of martial law, restricting all movement. If you encounter the man named Siegfried in the photo, report it and immediately detain him for interrogation!"

In an instant, every Valkyrie at the Schicksal headquarters received a notification from the Bishop and a constant red alert, just short of issuing a warrant for their arrest. Even Durandal, who had just changed into civilian clothes and was preparing to go to the [Houmu Restaurant], received an order to assemble.

"Dad... what have you done this time to make the bishop so angry?"

Chapter 672 A Date?!

Durandal looked at the two messages her irresponsible father had just sent her on the screen and sighed deeply, seemingly struggling with whether or not she should go and gather the Undying Blade Squad.

According to the bishop, all the Valkyries should assemble, but capturing her own father is really...

The Undying Blade Squad will remain in place and await further orders; they will not participate in this capture operation.

【receive. 】

That was all she could do for him; the rest was up to her father to pray for good luck and escape before the headquarters went into lockdown. Just as Durandal was pacing back and forth in her room, she faintly heard her adjutant's voice coming from outside the door.

"Mr. Xia Yuan, this way please."

"Hmm? That's Rita's voice. It sounds like she's leading Mr. Xia Yuan on a tour of the Destiny Headquarters." Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the end of the month. It seems the bishop just brought him here to fulfill a previous agreement.

Thanks to the Law of Domination's mass production of dolls, even her workload has been greatly reduced.

In the past, she wouldn't have had time to rest in her room at all. But shouldn't Rita have taken Mr. Xia Yuan directly to the area where the Herrscher of Domination was located? Why did they come here first?

Driven by curiosity, Durandal quietly approached the wall and listened carefully to the sounds coming from outside.

"Mr. Xia Yuan, we have arrived."

Durandal could clearly hear the sound of the door being pushed open. Rita lived next door to her because of work, but she couldn't understand why her adjutant had to bring Mr. Xia Yuan to visit... the dormitory at this particular time.
