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

As Carol thought to herself, a sense of admiration and curiosity welled up inside her. Girls of this age often like things that seem cool.

Timido bowed her head respectfully to the two of them.

Seeing that her companion was still in a daze, the girl secretly poked Carol's clothes with her small hand.

After being subtly reminded by Timido, Carol snapped out of her strange reverie and, for the sake of her own life, gave Xia Yuan and Dr. Ai Yin the most respectful salute.

"Greetings, seniors..."

Before Xia Yuan could react, Carol came to his side, took his fingertips and kissed them lightly.

This is something the girl learned from the comic books she read.

"Carol... what are you doing to Senior Xia Yuan? Come back quickly!"

Timido quickly pulled Carol behind her.

"Of course, you should show the other person your highest respect. That's what I see in those comic books."

Carol quietly replied to her companion.

"Hmm... comics are comics, what if I anger Senior Xia Yuan?"

Just then, Dr. Ai Yin, who was pretending to be cold and aloof, spoke up.

"You two, come with me..."

Seeing the other party's slightly sharp gaze, Timido and Carol tensed up, displaying utmost obedience and docility.

“Okay...okay, Ai-in-senpai.”

"Carol received!"

Two girls, who looked like well-behaved children, followed Dr. Ai into her room.

But just before Carol left...

She didn't forget to quietly wave to Xia Yuan behind her.

Seemingly wanting to leave a good impression on the other party, to prevent himself from being found without anyone noticing... a part of his body mysteriously appeared in a remote trash can in Sky City.

Then came the sound of the door closing and locking.

"........"

A cold wind blew past the carriage, carrying rustling snowflakes.

The large carriage was empty again, leaving Xia Yuan all alone.

Looking at his fingertips, which Carol had lightly kissed, Xia Yuan felt a little confused. Why was he alone again? Hadn't she promised to invite him to her room...?

Why did Ai-in suddenly take Carol and Timido inside without looking back?

They didn't even say hello...

Just as Xia Yuan quietly approached the door, trying to hear what Ai Yin was talking about with Carol and Timido inside, the door, which was tightly closed, was suddenly opened a crack by Dr. Ai Yin.

“Mr. Xia Yuan, it is not polite to eavesdrop on the conversation between three young and beautiful ladies.”

"Aiyin, you...are young?"

"Ok?"

When Xia Yuan saw Ai Yin's murderous gaze, he consciously moved away from the room.

"Alright, alright... Young, young, Ai Yin, you two talk, you two talk, I, I'll leave now, I won't disturb your pleasant afternoon tea time."

Seeing Xia Yuan retreat, Dr. Einstein, in order to prevent the other party from discovering his secret,

Still seemingly a little uneasy, he continued, "Mr. Xia Yuan, I'll attach an electric fence to the door later. If you want to be electrocuted, feel free to try it!"

"Cough cough... No, no, this is bad for my health. You guys chat, I'll be going now."

Xia Yuan quickened his pace and walked towards the far end of the carriage.

thump—

When he heard the door behind him close tightly, Xia Yuan stopped in his tracks. Although he was curious, he suppressed his restless thoughts for the sake of his one and only life.

The open carriage doors closed automatically, and the three passengers boarded the train. The "Red Kite" slowly started moving.

Xia Yuan was all alone in the aisle of the train carriage.

The driver's cab... Miss Blackie wouldn't let them in, Bronya followed Miss Raven to some unknown carriage, while Ain was whispering girl talk with Carol and Timido in the room.

It seems only Seele and Su Chang are left...

I wonder if Miss Su Chang has woken up yet. I might as well go and check on her now.

Just then, Xia Yuan's wrist communication device seemed to have received a temporary notification.

[Destiny Broadcasting Department]

[Urgent Announcement]

A bank in a certain city was vandalized by a large, light brown feline. A large amount of valuables were stolen, and the security system was damaged. However, due to severe weather including a blizzard, the Valkyrie Squad was unable to reach the scene in time. The public is urged to remain vigilant.

Chapter 154 Pado and the canned food have merged?

[The following is video footage of the other party captured by nearby surveillance equipment.]

When Xia Yuan clicked on the attached video below, he was stunned.

A large, light brown orange cat was seen carrying a huge pile of banknotes in its mouth, darting swiftly through the snow-covered streets. However, due to its speed, it was impossible to see its entire appearance.

But Xia Yuan felt a strong sense of familiarity, as if he had seen the other person somewhere before.

From the other person's blurry figure, one could vaguely make out...

"etc?!

"Isn't that the little cat named Canned Food that's always with Padophilia...? But why is it so big?!"

It looks like their size is already close... Xia Yuan compared himself to them, and it seems that the other one is more than 1.5 times larger than himself.

Now that communication has been restored...

Xia Yuan tentatively sent a message to Padofelis.

The train conductor, not the captain: Is Pado there?

Padofili Meow: Brother Xia Yuan, I'm busy right now. I'll talk to you when we get to a safe place.

After a while, Padofelis sent another message.

Padofili Meow: Okay, Xia Yuan, we can chat now.

Luckily, I'm quick and agile, so I managed to evade those who were chasing me. What do you want with me?

Just to clarify, Sister Ai Li and the others aren't with us. I only just woke up and received your message from Brother Xia Yuan in the [Golden Courtyard], so I'm preparing the funds for our trip to Mount Taixu.

Train conductor, not captain: Um... Pado, did you lose your canned food? Hmm... or should I say it got bigger?

Padofli Meow: No, the canned food is with me.

Oh, look at my memory, I haven't had a chance to explain to Brother Xia Yuan yet.

After leaving the Paradise of the Past, for some reason, the canned food and I became one. Let's just call it the "Canned Food Set" for now? Hmm... it's too complicated to explain. Now that no one should be chasing me anymore, Brother Xia Yuan, let's just have real-time communication. It'll be much easier to explain that way.

【Padofli Meow】is requesting whether to accept the video call.

【accept】

【reject】

Thinking back to the emergency announcement from Destiny and what Padofelis had just said about her experience, Xia Yuan had a bad feeling, and his hand trembled slightly as he tapped the virtual screen.

Xia Yuan was stunned when he saw the canned food sitting upright on the projection screen, which almost filled the entire screen.

"Isn't this the light brown giant feline that's wanted by Destiny?" Xia Yuan asked instinctively.

"Pado... I can't see you anywhere."

"Brother Xia Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm sitting right in the middle, and I can already see you. Logically, you should be able to see me too."

Suddenly, Padofelis seemed to understand something.

Then, the giant can in the live projection opened its mouth.

Padofelis's arm emerged from the mouth of the can, waving at Xia Yuan. Her figure could be vaguely seen through the mouth of the can, though the girl's clothing was rather revealing.

Looking at this slightly horrifying scene... Xia Yuan fell into a brief silence.

After a while.

Thinking of the large feline creature that had just been wanted by Destiny, Xia Yuan realized what was going on.

"Wait, that large feline that broke into the house and robbed us just now wasn't canned food, it was you, Pado?!"

"Hey, Xia Yuan, you need to provide evidence for your words. What does it have to do with me, Padofelis, if it's made in a can?

And me... cough cough, Canned Food did all this for you. If Brother Xia Yuan hadn't said we should meet at Mount Taixu, we... Canned Food wouldn't have robbed the bank. So Brother Xia Yuan, you also bear some responsibility. In a sense, we're in the same boat.”

"Paddo, you could just ask me for it, why do you have to rob a bank..."

Padofelis put her hand back into the [Canned Food Set], her awkwardness revealing a strange shyness.

"Hehe, I'm a little cat who can survive on my own, it's so embarrassing to keep troubling you, Brother Xia Yuan~"

"It's gotten even more complicated now... oh well!"

Xia Yuan was silent for a moment, then sighed and tentatively asked:

"Pado... approximately how much did you steal?"

"Hmm... Brother Xia Yuan, wait a moment so I can take a look. There's not much, the mouth of the can isn't big enough, it's only about that much."

As Xia Yuan watched the large amount of banknotes being spat out of the can, his hands trembled slightly.

Is it too late to take Padrephilis to Destiny to turn herself in now?

"In short, return the stolen goods to Destiny intact as soon as possible, and I'll come to pick you up, Padofelis."

"Okay, okay~"

"Brother Xia Yuan, I think I heard footsteps. Those people who keep chasing us are here again... I'll contact you later."

"Pado...Pado, Pado...Can you still hear me?"

beep beep-

Real-time communication was interrupted at this moment.

To prevent Paddophilis from being captured by the Valkyries of Destiny, and to prevent her from betraying him after being captured, Xia Yuan jogged along the aisle to the door of the [Red Kite]'s cockpit, intending to notify Klein to go to Paddophilis's city and bring her back to the train.

In short, Pado must not fall into the hands of fate...

dong dong dong-

"Miss Blackie... Little Klein, open the door quickly, there's an emergency."

Klein jumped out of the passenger seat, intending to open the door for the other person, but was unexpectedly grabbed by the green tail by Miss Hei hope on the side and lifted up.

"Well....."

Klein had lost count of how many times she had been grabbed by the tail.

"You rascal, didn't I tell you to go as far as you can? Do you want me to throw you out myself?"

Hei hope, carrying little Klein, leaned against the driver's side door and spoke to Xia Yuan outside the door.

"No... Miss Kuroki has something very important to discuss. Please let me in first."

"Hmph...you bad guy, don't try that on me. Do you think I'd believe your nonsense? Just say what you have to say outside."

Miss Hei hope still believed that the other party was up to no good.

"Trouble...have little Klein search for one of my... "

"I need your exact location, my partner Padophilia. She's in a difficult situation and is currently wanted by the Valkyrie forces of Schicksal. She desperately needs my help."

Chapter 155 Take a kick from me!

"Wanted by Destiny?"

"You scoundrel, how many shady things have you been doing behind my and Xi'er's back all these years that your so-called partner is wanted by Destiny!"

Hei hope leaned against the door and accused Xia Yuan.
