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

"Of course, it's to help you, Fairy Ellie, recharge and replenish your energy."

"Hmm, as a fairy from the Celestial Music Kingdom, I don't need to replenish my energy in this way!"

The pouty fairy Ellie puffed out her cute little face and threw the data cable back to Xia Yuan.

"Dear Fairy Ellie, please forgive my presumption. I believe that a kind and understanding fairy will forgive me."

"Hmph, of course, after all, I'm so understanding~"

"So, little Ellie, how should we replenish our energy?"

Xia Yuan picked up his water glass and drank the rest of his coffee in one gulp.

Chapter Six: Physical Aids to Sleep

"Of course, it's entering a dream world~"

The typewriter's energy comes from me, and my energy comes from you, Xia Yuan. So, as long as you have a good sleep, Xia Yuan, in your dreams, the typewriter will create the corresponding scenes and play the games you want, according to your wishes!

Want to take a nap?

Xia Yuan looked at the empty coffee in his hand, which he had just finished drinking, and fell silent.

"But I'm not sleepy at all right now, what should I do?"

"Ah~ that's easy, let the helpful fairy Airi help you, my lovely human, fall asleep~"

Xia Yuan seemed to sense that something was wrong.

"Wait, Fairy Airi, what are you trying to do?!"

The shadow of the magic wand loomed over Xia Yuan's head.

"Of course, it's to lull Xia Yuan to sleep~"

Seeing the devilish smile on Fairy Ellie's face, Xia Yuan quickly said, "Fairy... Fairy... Ellie, I think I can actually sleep now, please... please don't come any closer!"

"It's alright, lovely human, let the fairy Airi help you. Just a gentle touch will lull you into a sweet dream, little Xia Yuan~"

Fairy Airi will always protect you, even in your dreams~

"Hey--!"

Under the physical hypnosis of the magic wand in the fairy Ellie's hand.

Xia Yuan's vision went completely black, and he collapsed onto his desk, falling into a deep sleep.

zzz——

The fairy Airi also disappeared at this time.

The only sound in the entire office was the incessant whirring of the typewriter.

ka ka ka-

The printed paper quietly slipped from Xia Yuan's fingertips.

Honkai Impact Adventure: Cabbage Manor

When Xia Yuan opened his eyes again, he was greeted by a lush, vibrant cabbage field.

"Where am I...? I remember being in my office...? Making a game? By the fairy Airi...."

Xia Yuan regained consciousness in his daze, touched the back of his head, and felt no pain.

"Am I already in a dream?"

Xia Yuan looked around and saw nothing but endless cabbages.

Except for that magical typewriter in the Paradise Land, which stands out incongruously from its surroundings not far ahead.

"Fairy Ellie, little Ellie, where are you?"

Xia Yuan shouted loudly to his surroundings, but no one responded.

[…Starting the tutorial]

【Please, lovely humans, follow the arrows and walk to the typewriter.】

A highlighted guide arrow appeared in front of Xia Yuan.

【↑】

"Is that the voice of the fairy Ellie?"

No, this is a beginner's tutorial~

“…”

Guided by the arrow, Xia Yuan quickly arrived at the typewriter in front of him.

【Please, adorable humans, touch the typewriter~】

Just after Xia Yuan touched it, a dialog box appeared in front of him.

[Game progress has been saved]

[A typewriter on the verge of breaking down, its life depends entirely on the fairy Airi's mood; it has save and load functions.]

The beginner's tutorial has ended.

What happens next will be explored by the lovely humans themselves. Have a wonderful time!

"...Is this the end of the beginner's tutorial?"

[Yes, dear human, there really is no more tutorial for beginners~ No matter how much you beg Airi, she won't tell you that you can unlock the main quest by reading the notice board next to Ai-chan's farm.]

Oops, I accidentally blurted it out!

This was the first time Xia Yuan had ever met him...

Such a concise and playful beginner's guide.

However, Xia Yuan felt that this playful tone was not like the fairy Airi, but more like the mischievous Airisia.

In short, just follow the hints and find the notice board at Ai-chan Manor to start the main quest.

Xia Yuan walked past the typewriter and onto the country road.

On both sides of the path are lush green cabbages, and strange scarecrows stand tall in the cabbage fields.

A hastily drawn cabbage scarecrow

Made by Ai-chan, the farmer of Cabbage Farm, using special cabbage to ward off hordes of charging Honkai Beasts.

After passing several cabbage scarecrows, Xia Yuan finally saw the notice board that Ai Li had mentioned.

[You pesky Honkai Beasts, stop ruining Ai-chan's cabbage!]

Whoosh—

At that very moment, a pink shooting star streaked across the sky above Xia Yuan, forming a dazzling parabola as it hurtled towards the cabbage field of Ai Jiang Manor.

A pink shooting star fell into the field.

The cabbages scattered all over the ground were sent flying into the air by the huge impact, and then fell back down with a whoosh.

Countless cabbages buried the pink shooting star.

"Oh dear, it's so dark here! Are there any kind humans nearby who could help this adorable fairy?"

Xia Yuan, standing in front of the notice board, vaguely heard the fairy Ai Li calling out in the cabbage field.

"Was that pink meteor that just passed overhead the fairy Airi?!"

Upon hearing the fairy Ellie's cry for help, Xia Yuan hurriedly ran towards the cabbage field. Looking at the cabbages piled up like a small mountain, he called out, "Fairy Ellie, can you hear me?"

"Oh, it's a kind human! I can hear you, I can hear you!"

After pinpointing the location where the fairy Ellie was buried by sound, Xia Yuan tossed out the cabbages one by one.

The fairy Ellie, who had been buried deep in a pile of cabbages, was able to see the light again.

"Oh~ they're out! Thank you, kind human!"

When you first entered the dream, Xia Yuan, did you think of the fairy Ai Li? Did you? Did you?

Ellie, the fairy who had just emerged from the pile of cabbages, couldn't wait to ask Xia Yuan.

[Achievement Acquired: Reunion of the Cabbage Pile]

Deep within the fairy Airi's light blue pupils, a hint of pink shimmered.

Before Xia Yuan could think further, the sound of gates being pushed open came from the manor not far away.

Whoops-

A girl holding an Ai-chan hammer, wearing a black and white striped skirt, and with her hair styled like two cabbages on either side, appeared before Xia Yuan and the fairy Airi.

"Hey, you two, sneaky bastards, what are you up to in Ai-chan's manor! Are you trying to steal my cabbages?!"

Beep—Beep—Beep

A red warning suddenly popped up in Xia Yuan's field of vision.

【Ai-chan, the owner of the cabbage farm】

[Battle] [Negotiation] [Escape]

When Ai-chan looked down and saw the cabbage that had rolled around her and the mess of cabbage in the manor, her eyes gradually turned gloomy.

"So you're in cahoots with those despicable Honkai Beasts too!"

[Battle][Battle][Battle]

[This battle is too difficult; please choose carefully, dear human.]

Chapter Seven: Sparkling Crystals

Xia Yuan looked at the three identical options and said, "Do I even have a choice anymore...?"

"Wait, Ai-chan, I think I can explain what just happened."

"Hmph, no need to explain! Ai-chan is angry. Go and atone for your sins with the cute cabbages in the manor. Take this, Ai-chan's heavy hammer!"

Ai-chan leaped high into the air, wielding her Ai-chan Hammer, and smashed it towards Xia Yuan's location.

Seeing Ai-chan in mid-air, Xia Yuan quickly led the fairy Airi out of the manor.

"Fairy Airi, why do we have to fight Ai-chan right at the start of the main storyline?"

"Well, well, it's probably because I didn't choose the right landing spot and accidentally destroyed Ai-chan's cabbage patch, which led to this situation. But, Xia Yuan, don't you think it's become more interesting now?"

"I don't find this interesting! Fairy Ellie, please think of something, I'm almost out of strength..."

Ellie, the fairy, stared wide-eyed at her light blue eyes, her face filled with disbelief.

"Oh dear, Xia Yuan, how can a boy be so weak so quickly? At this rate, he might not even be able to outrun little Gretchen."

"Cheer up! We're not running anymore. Let's use the terrain and the cabbages in this cabbage field to defeat Ai-chan, okay? Maybe after we defeat her, some sparkly crystals will fall down!"

The fairy Ellie grabbed Xia Yuan's sleeve, trying to pull him into a corner of the cabbage field to hide him.

"My dear fairy Ellie, you should know that I am not a former civilization fusion warrior, nor do I possess Honkai adaptability. I am just an ordinary programmer."

"My dear human, you must believe in yourself. With me by your side, I will definitely train you... cough cough... into the most outstanding boy."

Xia Yuan was deeply skeptical of what the fairy Ellie said.

But for now, we really need to hide to avoid being caught by Ai-chan.

The endless fields of cabbage provide the perfect hiding place.

"Little Airi, is it really possible that Ai-chan will fall for such a simple trap?"

Using cabbage to disguise himself, Xia Yuan, who was lurking on one side of the path, looked at the rope buried in the soil in the middle of the path and asked the fairy Ai Li beside him in a low voice, somewhat uncertainly.

"Shh-"

"Keep your voice down, Ai-chan is coming over, Xia Yuan, quickly lower your head."

Ai-chan, wielding her Ai-chan hammer, strode aggressively along the manor's path.

"You two despicable cabbage thieves! Ai-chan has spotted you! Get out here right now, or don't blame Ai-chan for not holding back with her hammer!"

Ai-chan shouted loudly into the field.
