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

"Huh?! A can of food? Even you can't open it?"

"Oh no, oh no, this is really the end! Sister Aili, where are you?! Please come and save Paddo and Canned Food!"

"Meow!"

Padofelis gripped the rope net and the can with both hands and shouted loudly into the distance.

At this moment, Xia Yuan and his group were walking along the mountain path towards the top of the mountain.

"Ai-chan, we were in a forest just now, and now we're climbing a mountain. Can we place the sealing location closer to the cabbage farm?"

"Boss~ Ai-chan wants to too, but..."

Before Ai-chan could finish speaking, Xia Yuan vaguely heard a series of sounds coming from above.

It sounds like a cat's voice...

Could it be that I walked for too long and started hallucinating?

Xia Yuan patted his face, trying to clear his head.

But the higher you go, the clearer the sound becomes.

"Ai-chan, Fairy Airi, can you hear those cat sounds coming from afar?"

Xia Yuan stopped and spoke to the two of them.

"The adorable fairy didn't hear anything~ Oh, right, there's a legend that says there's a big, red cat demon living in the mountains that eats delicate boys like Xia Yuan."

The fairy Ellie whispered mysteriously to Xia Yuan.

But her playful eyes and the smile she couldn't hide at the corners of her mouth betrayed the fairy Airi.

Xia Yuan felt that the sound was more like a cry for help.

Therefore, Xia Yuan quickened his pace, heading towards the source of the sound.

Finally, everyone saw a brown girl and a brown cat hanging from a tree in the distance by a rope net.

"Hey, Xia Yuan, look! It's an adorable brown cat demon!"

The fairy Ellie pointed to the rope net.

"What cat demon? That's clearly Padofelis and canned food."

Xia Yuan rubbed the fairy Ai Li's little face in an annoyed tone and said.

Although Xia Yuan didn't know why Padofelis appeared in his dream, he was certain that it was related to the fairy Airi beside him.

When Padofelis saw Xia Yuan and his group, her heterochromatic eyes were filled with excitement.

"Someone's coming! Canned food, we're saved!"

"Meow~"

Padofelis and the can hugged each other tightly.

Xia Yuan arrived under the big tree, holding up "that salted fish" and aiming it at the rope of the net.

Swah——

Knife up and down.

With a simple cut, Padofelis and the can were able to fall from the rope net in mid-air.

"Thank you so much, kind passerby! My name is Padoflis, just call me Padof. This is my partner, Canned Food. Come on, Canned Food, say hello to the kind passerby!"

Padoflis tore off the ropes and nets covering her body.

Sitting on the ground, the kitten picked up the can of food next to it and shook the can with its paw.

"Meow~"

How can we repay this kind passerby?

Suddenly, Padofelis's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of a way to express her gratitude.

"Hey, kind passerby, how about we give you a 10% discount next time you buy something from our store?"

Padoflis happily made a "ten" gesture to Xia Yuan.

Chapter Fourteen: Pado's Special Discount

"...Isn't this the original price?"

"Hmm... Well, kind passerby, I'll give you a 15% discount, is that alright?"

Pado pondered for a moment, then gestured a number to Xia Yuan again.

"This is half the original price... Pado, is this how you treat your savior?"

"Hehe~"

Xia Yuan's words made Padofilis, who was sitting on the ground, scratch her head somewhat embarrassedly.

While Padoflis wasn't paying attention, the canned food jumped into Xia Yuan's arms and nuzzled against him affectionately.

"Hey, canned food, come back here! Why did you sneak into the arms of a kind passerby?"

But the canned food in Xia Yuan's arms did not respond.

Instead, it stared at Padofelis with some displeasure and stretched out its paw.

"Ugh, you traitor, canned food. Okay, okay, I get it."

"Kind passerby, next time you buy something at our store, we'll give you a 9.5% discount, okay? You know, even Sister Eden has never received such a treatment!"

Padoflis stammered, sounding somewhat guilty.

Because Eden never haggles over prices when she buys things~

"Haha, Little Paddy, you're still the same as always, extremely concerned about the price~"

"Who is that voice?!"

Padofelis looked in the direction from which the sound came.

"You are love... um..."

Before Padofelis could finish speaking, the fairy Ellie flew in from a distance and stuffed her mouth with the magic wand in her little hand.

"Little Paddy, let's talk in private for a moment~"

Hush

The fairy Ellie blinked, signaling to Padoflis with a shushing gesture.

Padofelis nodded very honestly.

After all, Ellie and Eden are the same~

One has an inexhaustible supply of pink crystals, and the other possesses wealth that can never be spent.

Xia Yuan, holding the canned food in his arms, intended to go along, but was driven back by the fairy Ai Li.

"Xia Yuan~ This is a private conversation between girls, boys are not allowed to eavesdrop!"

After confirming that Xia Yuan had left, Fairy Airi breathed a sigh of relief.

Padofelis, who was standing next to her, could no longer contain herself and asked, "Sister Aili, what are you doing inside the armored doll?"

"Oh dear, Little Paddy, how did you find out? Was my disguise not good enough?"

"Hehe, after spending so much time together, no matter how Sister Aili appears in front of us, we will never be wrong about Sister Aili's presence."

Padofelis said proudly.

"I'm so happy that Little Paddo said that!"

"But, Little Pado, I didn't ask you to play the big cat demon in the mountains, to drive Xia Yuan into the rope net trap, and then have a brave fairy make a dazzling appearance to chase the cat demon away and rescue Xia Yuan. How come you fell into the rope net trap yourself, Little Pado?"

"Um, well... I'm sorry, Ellie-nee~"

When we were teleported here, our cat treasure radar told us that there must be a treasure chest nearby!

Then we and the canned food team turned this place upside down, and then... well... this is what you see, Ellie: while searching for the treasure chest, we accidentally triggered a rope net trap.

Padofelis clasped her hands together and said apologetically.

"Sister Ai Li, how about I go out now and tie up that kind-hearted man named Xia Yuan who was passing by?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be impulsive, little Paddy, we can do this... and then this..."

The fairy Ellie quickly grabbed Padofelis.

"Uh-huh..."

Padofelis pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

Achoo—!

Xia Yuan couldn't help but sneeze.

He watched as the fairy Ellie and Padofelis were talking about something in the bushes not far away, occasionally glancing in his direction.

The two chatted and laughed.

It must be the fairy Ellie talking badly about me behind my back.

This aroused a sense of curiosity in Xia Yuan, like being gently scratched by a cat. He wanted to know what the fairy Ellie was saying to Padofelis.

Or perhaps the two of them are plotting something bad.

Xia Yuan suddenly had an idea.

I can't do it myself, but Ai-chan can, right?

At this moment, Ai-chan was sitting under the shade of a tree, carefully studying the map in her hand.

Xia Yuan approached Ai-chan, carrying the canned food in his arms.

Noticing Xia Yuan's arrival, Ai-chan put down the map in her hand.

"Boss, is there anything Ai-chan can do for you?"

Xia Yuan put down the canned food that was constantly rubbing against him, patted Ai-chan's shoulder, and solemnly said, "Ai-chan, the organization is going to give you an extremely important task: find out what the fairy Airi and Padofelis are talking about in the bushes, and then report back to me. Can you do that?"

Hmm... what should I do, bosses?

The fairy Airi gave her the beautiful pink crystal...

But if I don't go.....

Ai-chan hesitated for a moment, then stood up straight and saluted Xia Yuan.

"Don't worry, boss, Ai-chan guarantees she'll complete the mission!"

Ai-chan strode confidently toward the bushes where Patofilis and Fairy Airi were.

But it wasn't even a short while later...

slam-la-

Ai-chan emerged from the bushes with a huge pile of sparkling pink crystals in her arms and a look of joy on her face.

Xia Yuan sighed deeply, knowing that Ai-chan couldn't be relied on.

Upon seeing the sparkling crystal, he completely forgot what he had been told to do.

"Canned Food, now I can only ask you for help. Go and find out what they're talking about. If you succeed, I'll treat you to some dried fish!"

"Meow~"

At this moment, the canned food was affectionately rubbing against Xia Yuan's trouser leg.

Upon hearing Xia Yuan's words, Guan Tou nimbly darted into the nearby bushes and quietly approached the two.

After a while, the fairy Ellie and Padofelis emerged from the bushes, chatting and laughing, but their eyes were fixed on Xia Yuan.

"Xia Yuan~ We've finished our little chatter, let's hurry to the second sealing location~"

"Hehe~ We all heard from... Fairy Ellie that it's nice to meet you, Xia Yuan~"

Looking at Padofelis's outstretched hand and the smiles on their lips, Xia Yuan was momentarily confused.

"Paddo, Fairy Airi, what were you two talking about just now?"

"Uh...it's nothing."
