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

I never expected to run into this lively and cheerful girl, Mei, who is with me in Honkai Impact 3rd, at the store.

Her earnest strike, the Michiu Rock-Breaking Fist.

Xia Yuan still remembers it vividly to this day.

"You're Bronya-senpai?! An independent game developer, the great hero who once saved Honkai? Could you please sign your name for me? Just on my shirt~"

Carol rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

I never expected to meet Bronya-senpai here. I'm so lucky today!

The girl respectfully handed the pen to Bronya.

Back at St. Freya Academy, she wanted to get along well with her classmates, the "Hot Girls Group," and show off the autograph Bronya had personally written for her.

When I saw the table across from me again...

Based on the girl's own gossip, she had already guessed who the other person was.

"I think you two must be Seele's twins from the other side, two beings in one, hehe. Could you two please sign your names on my left arm and my right arm respectively?"

After a moment...

"Nice!"

It's amazing~

Carol looked at the blue and red signatures on her hands and smiled happily.

Mmm—Mmm—

Xia Yuan reached out his Houmu gloves and patted Carol on the shoulder.

He's acting like he's so big, can't the girl see him?

Carol felt someone patting her from behind and turned around.

Wow, what a huge hoomu!

Girl, are you only realizing this now?

Of course, if Carol wanted his autograph, Xia Yuan would reluctantly forgive her.

Carol curiously poked it~

This giant homunculus is sitting next to Bronya.

“I understand now. This Houmu must be your pet, Senior Bronya. This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a big Houmu.”

"Big Hoomu, be good, look at the camera, that's right, 3, 2, 1, cheese~"

As Carol spoke, she didn't forget to take a photo with Mr. Houmu.

"Pfft~"

Hei hope, sitting opposite him, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Even bad guys get what they deserve!

Xia Yuan looked at Carol, who was holding his shoulder, with a resentful expression.

No... If Carol keeps hugging me like this, my Houm headgear will fall off. Once I'm exposed, Bronya will definitely lock me in solitary confinement and make me kneel on the keyboard and face the wall in repentance!

Bronya looked at Carol with envy; she also wanted to take a picture with Mr. Houm.

Bronya said that she used to want a pet like Mr. Houmu, but now she feels that Mr. Houmu is not a pet, but a partner of hers.

"Oh, is that so?"

Carol planned to memorize what Bronya had said, even though she would forget it soon, it would be enough for her to organize into notes.

Mr. Houmu is a champion of justice!

"Of course, young lady."

Strange, the sound just now seemed to come from right next to me.

"Hey, Houmu spoke up!"

Carol seemed to have discovered something that shocked her, and quickly released the giant hoom in front of her.

"Oh my god, what's wrong with girls these days? Why can't Houmu speak? Have you even considered Houmu's feelings?"

Carol stuck out her cute little tongue shyly and put her hands together in an apologetic gesture.

"Sorry, sorry, hehe, Mr. Houmu, please forgive me this time, okay, as a small apology, and I'm also very happy to have met all of you seniors."

This meal is on me. Just tell me what you want to eat!

"Oh~ thank you so much, young lady! Please bring one of everything in the store~"

Upon hearing Xia Yuan's words, Carol turned around and silently counted her wallet.

Hmm...

After this meal, I won't be able to buy cosmetics anymore.

Hmm... recording.

[I absolutely must avoid being in the sun; my skin must not become as bad as my mom's!]

"Just kidding, and besides, your makeup looks great!"

The sight of Carol quietly counting her wallet struck Xia Yuan as both adorable and amusing, prompting him to tease her.

Carol was stunned...

Gradually, glistening tears appeared in her eyes.

Waaaaah... So many days have passed, and this is the first time someone has ever...

No, that's not right. This is the first time a giant Houmu has ever praised its own makeup for looking good.

"Waaaah, Mr. Houmu, you are such a tasteful Houmu, the best partner ever!"

Carol buried her face in Xia Yuan's arms, sobbing and crying.

Her little face was all stained from crying~

Hmm... Xia Yuan also thought he had good taste, but why did this child suddenly start crying all of a sudden...?

All I did was say that the girlish makeup was pretty good, right?

She has a cute and sexy vibe~

It’s over.....

Many people's eyes are focused on me. They don't think I'm the one who made Carol cry, do they?

Soon, the sobbing stopped...

Carol, her eyes red from crying, lowered her head and left the restaurant as quickly as possible while nestled in Xia Yuan's arms.

She needs to touch up her makeup.

Then, hand your business card to Mr. Houmu and welcome him to come and play with you!

From now on, Mr. Houmu will be my best partner!

Anyone who dares to bully Mr. Houmu will be dealt a righteous uppercut with the Miju Pillow and flattened!

Xia Yuan stared blankly at the girl outside the shop...

The waiter in the store ran away, how am I supposed to order my own cake?

Sizzle

The back door of the store slowly opened.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the once noisy shop immediately fell silent.

A rumor is circulating in Sky City.

The owner of this shop is not someone to mess with. Anyone who crosses his path will mysteriously appear in the garbage dump in the Sky Dome the next day.

Xia Yuan seemed to hear a sound like a coin being tossed into the air.

A tall figure appeared in front of Xia Yuan.

A raven feather was stuck in the table.

"Sir, it seems you've driven my waiter away. In that case, I'll have to trouble you to temporarily take over as my waiter."

Her rose-red pupils were fixed on Xia Yuan.

With just one glance, he saw through Xia Yuan's disguise as a Houmu outfit.

“Raven, it’s been a long time, but Bronya can’t let you do that. Mr. Homu is Bronya’s partner.”

The raven chuckled softly.

It turns out that even the Lawgiver of Reason can have such a childlike side.

Raven didn't think Bronya would miss this disguise, which was so obvious.

Or is it...?

Was Bronya doing this on purpose, trying to convince herself?

Thinking about this...

Chapter 53 Striving to Save Money and Rebuild the Villa Island

The raven approached Xia Yuan, lowered itself slightly, and gently traced the Houmu outfit Xia Yuan was wearing with its fingertips, whispering:

"Sir, if you know what's good for you, you'd better do as I say. Although I don't know why you're disguised as Houm, I don't think you'd want Bronya to see your true colors if I were to expose you to her face, would you?"

Xia Yuan looked up at the mature, short-haired woman in front of him.

What a small world!

Why did we encounter ravens here?

"Humph!"

Even though you're bullying me like a boss right now!

But you weren't like this back when your little island villa was destroyed by bugs. I bet you're busy opening a shop and saving up to rebuild your island villa now!

But as for now...

Xia Yuan obediently shook his head.

Good children don't suffer immediate losses.

Mmm—Mmm—

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan stood up from his seat and volunteered to be a waiter in the store.

"Mr. Houmu, I'll help too!"

Seele pulled Black Seele up to her feet.

Blackie was indignant.

That wretched bastard! He caused all this trouble and dragged me and Seele into it too.

“Then Bronya will come to help too.”

Thus, Raven, formerly a high-ranking official of the World Serpent and now the shop owner, now has four more employees under his command.

"My other self, please serve this drink to customer number 6."

"You rascal, deliver this drink to customer number 6, and hurry up and get there!"

"Mr. Houmu, let Bronya help you!"

An interesting scene unfolded~

Seele asks for help from [another version of herself], Black Seele orders Xia Yuan around, and Bronya helps [Mr. Houmu].

When Xia Yuan saw Bronya wearing a waitress uniform...

"Oh, this damn sweetness, it's the feeling of being smitten!"

He had to give the raven a thumbs up; it seems the raven has quite good taste in clothing!

Amidst everyone's busy work...
