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

With Mr. Xia Yuan's help, her physical abnormalities had been alleviated somewhat, but pollen still lingered in the flower bud. Relying solely on kissing was probably no longer enough to maintain her original clarity. She now seemed to crave a deeper level of development.

Their thinking is still very conservative, but their bodies, affected by pollen, have become increasingly daring.

The captain and vice-captain of the Undying Blade squad actually did such a thing. If this were to spread, how many Valkyries of Destiny would be shocked to their core?

Several hours later—

Rita stroked her increasingly protruding belly, leaning happily and contentedly on the other person's shoulder. This was even more exciting for her than when she was hypnotizing Mr. Xia Yuan, not to mention that Lady Durandal was right beside her.

Compared to the exhausted maid, Durandal, who has been training for a long time, is far from reaching her limit.

She straddled Mr. Xia Yuan's waist.

With the other party's help, the pollen's effects on her had become negligible. Her face was rosy as she straightened Mr. Xia Yuan's wrinkled clothes, noticing small holes in his sleeves from accidental scratches.

She kissed Mr. Xia Yuan on the forehead, and she could feel how haggard he looked.

With a mix of heartache, shyness, and guilt, Mr. Xia Yuan had satisfied both himself and Rita, but he was so exhausted that he fell asleep. She hadn't fulfilled her duties as a Valkyrie at all.

Taking a deep breath, Durandal stood up shakily.

In no time—

Having regained her power, she is now the valiant and strongest Valkyrie. Since she has not received any rescue, she plans to carve a path out from the inside, but a rumbling sound from the outside catches her attention.

[Emitting at 10% of rated power!]

A hole was blasted in the flower bud, and the [Moonlight Throne] appeared before everyone's eyes. Because of the roar of the engine, Xia Yuan also opened his eyes at this moment. He could clearly see Mei and Bronya standing in front of the ship's deck.

"Finally saved..."

He couldn't help but sigh.

Although he could hold on for another three days and three nights without any problem, continuing like this would ultimately betray Mei and Yaya's trust.

"You stupid subordinate, are you alright?"

Bronya saw Xia Yuan leaning against the inner wall of the flower bud, and jumped off the deck first to help him up. "Ya Ya, I, I'm fine..."

Her voice sounded so haggard, how could she be alright? Besides, the pollen in the air looked really strange. She suddenly had a strong urge to get close to her stupid subordinate.

Looking back at Rita, he saw that her face was rosy and radiant, not at all like someone who had been trapped here for hours. Why did Rita look like nothing had happened, while her stupid subordinate looked so haggard?

“Foolish subordinate, tell me honestly, did Rita force you? Don’t be afraid, I will stand up for you.”

She then turned her attention to Rita.

“Ms. Bronya, Rita bears an unshirkable responsibility for Mr. Xia Yuan’s haggard appearance. Therefore, in order to repay Mr. Xia Yuan’s kindness, Rita will serve as his personal maid.”

"No, I disagree! Who wants you to repay me like this? My stupid subordinate is fine with me taking care of him; I don't need any maids."

Bronya's attitude was very tough.

What a joke! If Rita were to work alongside that idiot subordinate, wouldn't he just look even more haggard? She would absolutely never agree to a wolf among sheep being treated like a lamb.

Xia Yuan hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. As a farm owner, he really wanted a maid to take care of his daily life.

Chapter 766 Let's eat chicken tonight!

But looking at Bronya's appearance...

It's best not to upset the other person at this point, so he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

“Bronya, it was actually Mr. Xia Yuan who became so haggard in order to help us reduce the effects of pollen. If it weren’t for Mr. Xia Yuan, we probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on until now. If there is to be punishment, I will take full responsibility.”

Durandal placed her hand on her chest, expressing her apology.

"pollen?"

Mei jumped off the ship's deck and actively inhaled the pollen that filled the space.

When she felt the longing for Mr. Xia Yuan quietly spreading deep within her heart, she looked at Rita and Durandal and smiled slightly. It seemed that they no longer needed to be together that night; there was probably no longer any barrier between them.

Bronya pouted in dissatisfaction.

Although she really wanted to seek justice for her foolish subordinates, if she were here, under the influence of this pollen, she might not be any better off than Durandal and Rita. This bitter melon is no good; eating it will cause feelings to develop, which is not proper at all.

"Alright, Bronya, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's take Mr. Xia Yuan away as soon as possible."

She glanced resentfully at her sister Mei, who was stubbornly siding with her. Mei was also looking at her, but Bronya knew in her heart that Mei wasn't looking at her, but at her stupid subordinate.

"knew......"

If Mei-nee is allowed to stay any longer, she might just pounce on that idiot subordinate right in front of Rita, without any regard for the consequences.

She couldn't let her stupid subordinate look even more haggard.

Bronya escorted her foolish subordinate onto the ship, remaining constantly vigilant against the wicked maid beside her, making sure she didn't get hurt in the slightest.

It was evening.

Durandal and Rita stood on the balcony of the small villa, gazing at the bitter gourd flower bud on the farm that once reached the clouds. Now, its height had shrunk to the same level as the villa, like a huge green barrier that isolated them from the outside world.

Durandal's golden hair fluttered gently in the breeze.

Her eyes held a complex emotion, while Rita stood quietly beside her. The atmosphere between them seemed to have subtly shifted because of what had happened inside the bitter gourd bud.

"Rita, about what happened today..." Durandal suddenly spoke, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible shyness.

Rita smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with wisdom.

"Lady Durandal, please rest assured, Rita will not reveal anything about what happened today. We are the Undying Blade Squad, and teammates should support each other."

Upon hearing Rita's reply, Durandal felt a sense of calm, for some reason.

Her gaze shifted from the bitter gourd buds in the distance to her adjutant's plump maid skirt, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "Rita, tell me honestly, the reason you're on leave... is it because you're already pregnant with Mr. Xia Yuan's child?"

"Lady Durandal, aren't you the same?"

Although their conversation was brief, it was full of profound meaning. The experience inside the bitter gourd bud eliminated the barrier between them, replacing it with a mutual understanding. However, she still lacked experience in becoming a mother.

"Rita, Del is ready for dinner~"

Xia Yuan's voice came from under the small villa. The aroma of roast chicken filled the air at the dining table. Bronya and Mei were busy slicing the chicken, and he was helping them. But it seemed that a few people were missing.

"Miss Kuroki, where are Paddy, Sakura, and Aunt Himeko?"

Miss Hei hope smoothly spat out the chicken leg bone from her mouth completely, showing that she had experience eating chicken.

"Himeko-sensei went to drink with that big star from the former civilization. The two sisters were also dragged over by Himeko-sensei. As for that little cat, she's been acting suspiciously ever since she left the mine. I secretly followed her, and she secretly dug up some crystals from the mine and buried them. I'll take you there later, you bad guy."

She had also heard about what Bronya and the bad guy had gone through that day.

Luckily, she didn't go with them and stayed in the mine to mine crystals, otherwise her belly would be several sizes bigger today.

“Very good, here, this is a big chicken leg as a reward for Miss Hei hope.”

He personally broke off one for Miss Hei hope. She was his spy in the mine, monitoring Little Pado. This greedy little cat had indeed stolen some of the crystals. In order to bury the crystals, she didn't come back even when it was time for dinner, so there would be no dinner for today.

"Hmph, who cares about your reward, you bad guy? Ugh..."

To her surprise, the other person took advantage of the moment she was speaking and suddenly shoved a chicken leg into her mouth. The chicken leg was so big that she almost choked. The bad guy was absolutely wicked. If Xier hadn't been sitting next to her, she would have definitely taught him a lesson.

She viciously used her teeth to peel the skin off the entire chicken leg and remove the bone, as if she were treating the chicken leg in her mouth as someone else.

Durandal and Rita also came down the stairs at that moment.

Everyone arrived at their seats—

"Mr. Xia Yuan, the roast chicken you and Ms. Mei made was delicious. Could you personally give Rita some pointers tonight?" Rita cupped her cheeks, her face flushed with an alluring rosy glow.

Yulandel kept eating her rice with her head down, so shy that she wanted to bury her head in the bowl.

Even someone as clueless about relationships as her could understand the underlying meaning in Rita's words, but she never expected her adjutant to say it in front of everyone.

Mei responded with a smile:

"I'm glad you're happy, Rita. I'm genuinely happy that we can all sit together and enjoy a cozy dinner. How about Mr. Xia Yuan and I tutor you together?"

"Hmph, it's so late. After dinner, Rita, aren't you and Durandal planning to return to Schicksal? Let me make it clear, there aren't any extra rooms in the villa." Bronya effectively blocked their path to staying there.

"It's alright. As long as Mr. Xia Yuan can be taken care of, Rita is fine sleeping anywhere. I think Lady Durandal thinks the same way as Rita."

"what?"

Her body trembled slightly, and she lowered even further.

Bronya gritted her teeth. Did this wicked maid in front of her have to squeeze every last drop out of her stupid subordinate? Didn't she see how haggard she looked? A hint of doubt flickered in her eyes.

The seemingly listless and anxious subordinate was instead feeding Seele with great enthusiasm.

So it was all an act before? She worried for nothing, and secretly pinched the other person's waist with her small hand in dissatisfaction.

Chapter 767 Little Paddy, Little Glutton!

The stupid subordinate didn't feed her at all; instead, he kept feeding Seele next to him.

Didn't you see her still sitting here, her mouth empty?

Feeling a slight pain in his waist, Xia Yuan immediately understood. How could he forget his boss? So he promptly put a large chicken leg on Bronya's plate as well, saying, "Here you go, Bronya, this is for you~"

Miss Kuroki was on the verge of tears; that was clearly from her bowl.

As a result, the sycophantic guy put the chicken into Bronya's bowl. There were so many plates of roast chicken on the table, couldn't he have taken it from there? Humph, he just knows how to bully her! With Seele still by her side, Miss Black Seele dared not speak out, and could only glare at the other party with resentment.

The atmosphere at dinner appeared very harmonious; everyone sat around the table, enjoying the food and each other's company.

however.

Behind the scenes, however, undercurrents were running deep, each person harboring their own thoughts, and the little schemes among them were so intense that they wished they could have a dozen group chats.

After today's events, Durandal and Rita are on the same side, Bronya is fighting alone, Mei is drifting towards becoming a farm lady, Miss Black Seele only wants to protect herself, and Seele is not involved in this struggle for Xiaoyuan.

As for the others who were absent...

Aunt Himeko and Eden only want to drink, Sakura and her sister have a great chance to usurp the throne, and a certain greedy little cat—Padofelis—is on her way to the villa.

Padofelis worked in the mine all day.

Her body was exhausted, but she was overjoyed. A wide smile spread across her face as she looked at the bag full of crystals buried under the tree, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

She didn't steal.

After being exploited by Brother Xia Yuan for so many days, what's wrong with collecting a little interest?

Gollum-

She clutched her rumbling tummy. "I don't know why, but my tummy always gets hungry really fast. Hehe, I wonder what delicious food Brother Xia Yuan has prepared for us at the villa."

After burying the crystal, Little Paddy couldn't wait to go to the villa.

This could be considered her brand new little nest, a brand new home, but when she rushed to the villa, only the unapproachable Miss Hei Xi was leaning against the sofa, seemingly chewing something in her mouth.

She could clearly smell the aroma of roast chicken, so why was there no dinner?

Although Phyllis was somewhat hesitant to interact with her, after spending time together in the mine, she realized that Blackie was just like Snake—though they had sharp tongues, they both had a gentle side.

"Um... Sister Hei hope? Brother Xia Yuan, have you prepared our dinner yet?"

Hei hope glanced at the other person.

She mumbled indistinctly, "Um, Ni's too late. The bad guy and we've already had dinner. As for whether he prepared dinner for you, I think given how bad guy doesn't even want to wash the dishes, he probably didn't."

She removed the large chicken leg that the bad guy had forced into her mouth; by then, the smooth surface had long since been reduced to just bone.

But I don't know why.

She just wanted to suck on it; who told that bad guy to marinate the chicken bones so thoroughly?

Phyllis's face immediately fell; she had completely missed mealtime because she was burying the crystal.

Her stomach rumbled, and the hunger made her feel extremely uncomfortable. To make matters worse, her feline intuition told her that Blackie's eyes seemed to see right through her, which made Padofelis feel very guilty.

She dared not ask any more questions.

He hurriedly left behind the other person, intending to go to the kitchen to find some food to fill his stomach.

However, when Phyllis arrived at the kitchen, she saw Xia Yuan, who was on the second floor, carrying a plate of fragrant roast chicken into the bedroom. This scene brought tears to Little Pado's eyes.

She was craving it.

While feeling craving something, there was also a hint of grievance.

She was mining crystals for Xia Yuan day and night in the mine, but not only did he not prepare dinner for her, he even took a whole plate of roast chicken back to his bedroom to eat alone, and he didn't even respect the hardworking and capable little cat.

An unnamed anger welled up inside her, and her emotions were instantly ignited.

Like a cat with its fur standing on end, Padofelis decided to have a good talk with Xia Yuan and fight for her employee benefits. At least she needed a delicious meal to relieve her fatigue every day when she came home.
