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

"Um... Qianjie, actually, it's all a misunderstanding. Little Gresh is young and doesn't understand, she's just talking nonsense. Don't listen to her nonsense. I have something to do, so I won't bother you any longer, Qianjie. Bye~"

Xia Yuan waved his hand, preparing to leave this place of trouble with little Greta.

"Wait a minute."

The sound of Qian Jie behind him made Xia Yuan's relaxed mood tense up again.

"Find someone to excite me, and I can consider your request."

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Promise with Little Gretchen

After leaving those words behind, Qianjie turned and departed.

"Wait, Brother Jie, don't go! Explain yourself!"

The way you talk can easily lead to misunderstandings!

What exactly does this last sentence mean? What is the current situation? Why would Qianjie consider his request?

[Starting up the Thousand Tribulations Translator]

[Notice: Lovely humans]

[What Qianjie means is: He's itching for a fight and hopes that you, dear human, can find some powerful individuals or strong Herrschers to give him a good beating!]

[After each beating, the target's favorability towards Xia Yuan will increase slightly.]

[Please, lovely humans, find suitable companions to be your opponents in this Thousand Tribulations!]

Xia Yuan seemed to understand...

Can you deepen your relationship with Qianjie by constantly finding people to fight?

Wait, isn't this supposed to be a dating strategy chip? Why has it turned into a Thousand Tribulations Challenge?!

[Note: You lovely humans, this is the best way to win over your target.]

Of course, Xia Yuan can also do it himself~

[P.S.: Adorable humans, when the affection level of a target reaches a certain value, you can acquire their abilities.]

"Can I possess the other person's abilities?"

When Xia Yuan saw the last item, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted. This was Qian Jie, after all. But finding someone to fight Qian Jie couldn't be too weak... Hmm, it seems that gaining Qian Jie's approval requires careful consideration.

Suddenly, Xia Yuan felt a cool sensation on his calf.

A small hand reached towards the torn pant leg, curiously touching Xia Yuan's skin.

Little Gretchen seemed to have something to say to Xia Yuan.

"Um... my little Gretchen, please stop tugging at my trouser leg. Just say what you want to say."

Upon hearing this, Greta put her hands behind her back shyly.

She didn't mean to tear Xia Yuan's clothes... she just... she thought the thing next to her was her drawing paper, but there was something that Gretchen couldn't figure out.

Little Gretchen looked up at Xia Yuan, asking with questions in her heart:

"Brother Xia Yuan, what did you mean by the date you were talking about with Qian Jie just now?"

Now, Little Greta has dug up that embarrassing past.

Xia Yuan felt an urge to shrink back into the corner and crawl under the covers.

Xia Yuan said to Gretchen very solemnly:

"Listen carefully, little Gresh, the matter of Thousand Tribulations is a little secret between the two of us, and we can't let anyone know. As for what you mean by 'date,' little Gresh, you can think of it as going shopping and having a meal together."

Currently, only I, Little Gretsch, Qianjie, and Fairy Airi know about this.

The most urgent task is to find the fairy Airi as soon as possible.

Before Little Ellie could reveal it to anyone else, he sealed her little mouth with tape. He knew Little Ellie too well; she would definitely spread the news everywhere. He absolutely couldn't let the other heroes know his secret!

Greta put her fingertips to her lips and shook her little head in a slightly bewildered manner.

Brother Xia Yuan... his color is grayish.

Does "dating" mean... having a meal together, using the food to shut the other person up as hush money?

Little Greta understands what Brother Xia Yuan means~

"Brother Xia Yuan, please go on a date with Gretchen!"

Little Greta released Xia Yuan's hand and walked lightly to him, placing her small hands behind her back and leaning slightly forward.

To avoid revealing the truth~

As long as Brother Xia Yuan feeds Gretchen well, Gretchen won't be able to tell the truth!

This is how little Greta understands the meaning of the word "date".

The girl in front of me is too unfair!

Looking into Gretchen's innocent eyes, Xia Yuan couldn't even meet her gaze.

"My dear little Gresh, dating isn't what you think, it... it's... cough cough... let's put that aside for now. By the way, little Gresh, have you obtained the Color of a Thousand Calamities yet?"

Xia Yuan tried to distract Gretchen.

He really couldn't explain to Greta the little girl what a date actually meant in a short time.

It might even deepen the misunderstanding.

"Brother Xia Yuan, are you sure you really want to do this? If Gretsch turns into the color of Thousand Calamities, her personality might... become very strange."

Greta's little hands behind her back were twirling back and forth.

Seemingly unsure whether to do it, it was her first time coming into close face-to-face contact with Qianjie and experiencing Qianjie's color—a color that was... indescribable and extremely unlike her own.

"Of course, please do so, please, little Greta!"

Xia Yuan clasped his hands together above his head, earnestly pleading with Little Gretchen.

This is also part of the plan.

In order to gain Qianjie's approval, he must first undergo simulated training with Little Gretchen.

Hmm... I feel like Brother Xia Yuan...

The color at this moment... seems to be expectant? Yearning?

"Hmm... alright then, Brother Xia Yuan, but Gretchen isn't entirely sure what will happen next either."

Gretchen slowly closed her eyes, sensing the colors of the Thousand Calamities.

When Xia Yuan looked up again, he found that Gretchen was no longer beside him.

"What are you still standing there for, Brother Xia Yuan? Hurry up and get over here, Gretchen!"

I don't want to repeat myself!

Gretchen had somehow found herself standing atop a building in front of her, looking down at Xia Yuan.

This familiar feeling...

This familiar way of speaking is definitely Qianjie's personality.

It's as if a little blue rabbit has donned the coat of a fierce, fiery red beast, and the innocent, ethereal child's voice has gained a touch of domineering power, making it irresistible.

"Okay, little Greta, I'll go up now~"

Xia Yuan finished speaking.

He ran towards the rooftop of the building where Gretchen was, gradually putting the search for little Ellie out of his mind.

Greta's little feet were on the edge of the rooftop.

Hearing the sound behind her, Gretchen, standing on high, glanced at Xia Yuan with disdain.

"Brother Xia Yuan, you're too slow! Gretchen is ordering you to take off your clothes now!"

"Wait, little Greta, this is unacceptable."

Xia Yuan quickly covered himself with his hands.

"Shut up! Brother Xia Yuan, I don't want to repeat myself!"

In a fleeting moment that Xia Yuan was unaware of.

Unbeknownst to Xia Yuan, Gretchen had already appeared behind him. Just as Xia Yuan realized the voice was coming from behind him, and that Gretchen wasn't even in front of him...

Dissatisfied, Gretchen reached out her two small hands and pushed Xia Yuan to the ground.

A bare little foot stepped on Xia Yuan's back.

"Brother Xia Yuan, listen carefully to Gretchen. When it comes to Gretchen, you can only nod, understand?"

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Little Gretchen in a Thousand Colors

Xia Yuan, who had been pushed to the ground, shook his head honestly.

"Um?!"

When little Greta saw that her brother Xia Yuan still wouldn't listen to her...

"Brother Xia Yuan, you've brought this upon yourself!"

Feeling the constant stomping sensation from behind, Xia Yuan wanted to experience it a little longer.

His aching back, which had been severely worn down from working under Bronya, felt as if it had been healed at this moment.

"Brother Xia Yuan, remember not to make Gretchen angry. Now you know how to behave, right? Hmph, hurry up and take off your clothes! Do you still remember your promise to Gretchen? Gretchen was going to draw a self-portrait of Brother Xia Yuan!"

Greta's bare little feet moved off Xia Yuan's back.

at this time....

Xia Yuan's clothes were covered in fiery red, scorching paint.

Xia Yuan slowly stood up, stretching his muscles and bones, feeling that he was at least several years younger at this moment.

He wanted to do it a few more times~

Maybe it can completely cure my herniated disc.

It was truly a wonderful experience to turn little Gretsch into someone with a thousand calamities' personality!

Slightly shy, Xia Yuan slowly took off her coat.

Looking at the red paint on the back of her coat, she wondered if she had been stained with Gretchen's color.

"Brother Xia Yuan, don't stand there! Move quickly! This is just the jacket; there's also the underwear underneath, and your pants with a huge rip!"

Little Greta, hands on her hips, pointed with her paintbrush at the remaining clothes on Xia Yuan's body with an air of authority.

Xia Yuan's little head was shaking like a giant pendulum.

If I take my clothes off any further, and Dr. Möbius sees me, I might really be taken to his lab!

"Ugh, Brother Xia Yuan, that's really enough! Let Gretchen come in person!"

Just as Gretchen grabbed Xia Yuan's collar, the flames flickering in the girl's purple pupils dissipated...

The color that belonged to the Thousand Calamities disappeared.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Brother Xia Yuan...Gresh, Gresh didn't mean it just now."

After the flame in her pupils dissipated, Little Gretsch returned to her original tone of voice, a soft and gentle voice carrying a hint of apology and self-reproach.

"It's alright, little Greta..."

Xia Yuan stroked Greta's deep blue hair and gently comforted her.

Just then.

An unexpected boy appeared silently not far behind Xia Yuan and Little Gretchen.

Because Gretchen was not in her own studio.

Kosmo used the signal receiver on his head, which resembled demon horns, to locate Gretchen.

Upon reaching the location with the strongest signal, they saw Little Greta grabbing the collar of the curly-haired young man beside her with one hand.

Um.....

She has the scent of Senior Airi on her. Is she the guest that Senior Airi mentioned before?
