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

I thought about it~

Greta decided to tell Xia Yuan what she had seen.

After all, her mother, Aponia, had taught her that children who lie would be eaten by the Kosmo.

“Oh, right, there’s one more thing, Brother Xia Yuan… Aunt Wilvi said there are some things that children shouldn’t know, but doesn’t age increase by one year every year? If that’s the case, Gretchen is already an adult, and Brother Xia Yuan… is the child.”

But at this moment, Xia Yuan's mind was filled with mixed emotions.

"I got drunk...and went into the bedroom with Miss Wilvi, and there were faint [bang bang bang] strange noises coming from inside the bedroom? Something I can't let children know about...!"

Every word Little Gretchen said was like a sharp blade piercing Xia Yuan's chest.

He clutched his aching chest.

Xia Yuan was afraid that Little Gretsch would say something even more shocking.

"My God... what did I do with Miss Velvi last night that made her say such strange things to little Gretchen?"

Because of Greta's honesty~

This led Xia Yuan to a difficult choice in his life, but he did not choose to escape reality. Instead, he chose to take on the responsibilities that belonged to him like a real man.

But before that.....

He needed to be fully prepared to face Miss Wilwy.

“Listen carefully, little Gretchen. Being old doesn’t mean you’ve become an adult. What truly transforms a person is the maturity of their mind. Only when the mind matures can one be considered a true adult.”

Xia Yuan's words.....

That's too profound; little Greta doesn't understand.

No, that's not right. Gretchen also needs to mature. Gretchen understands!

Little Gretchen nodded as if she understood, and asked Xia Yuan curiously, "Brother Xia Yuan, when will Gretchen become a mature and steady adult?"

“When little Gretsch can understand how I feel right now, she will be a proper adult.”

"How does Brother Xia Yuan feel right now...?"

Gretchen seemed to understand something. She needed to become mature and composed, to become an excellent adult, so that she could be like Aunt Wilvi and Brother Xia Yuan, and understand those things that children shouldn't know.

"By the way, little Gretchen, do you know where Miss Vivière is right now?"

Xia Yuan's words interrupted little Gretsch's wish to become an adult.

"Brother Xia Yuan... Aunt Wei Li is preparing breakfast for us in the kitchen~"

Little Grey pointed to the kitchen not far from the living room and said.

Watching Xia Yuan turn and leave, little Gretchen prepared to feel Xia Yuan's colors... to become the colors of an adult.

"Hmm... Brother Xia Yuan's colors seem to have become so strange. They are completely different from when I first met him. Only one color remains, pitch black and deep, like the mud in my dreams that resembles a tidal wave."

When Gretchen tries to experience those colors, she is enveloped and swallowed by a sludge representing immense negative emotions.

"Hmm... Is this the price of becoming an adult?"

Little Greta slowly opened her eyes~

"I'm not old enough to be an adult right now. The color of that mud gave Gretchen a really scary feeling. When Brother Xia Yuan comes back... I'll find a chance to ask him about it. But Gretchen won't give up!"

But even little Greta didn't notice...

Xia Yuan's subconscious had long been occupied by the enormous negative emotions of Wilvi's [Extreme Evil] personality, and a wisp of negative emotion called [Desire] quietly sneaked into Little Gretsch's heart.

Xia Yuan took a deep breath of the fresh air from the paradise of the past and walked into the kitchen with a feeling of unease.

Miss Wilhelmy was wearing an apron in the kitchen.

The girl was focused on making breakfast and was completely unaware of Xia Yuan's arrival.

"Pay attention to the sugar ratio... Little Gretchen can't eat too much sugar, and we also need to be careful about the food combinations... I wonder when Mr. Xia Yuan will wake up? When he wakes up, I'll make him some Chinese delicacies... No... People who have just woken up should eat light food!"

Vervi murmured to herself, a happy smile spreading across her lips.

The girl, busy in the kitchen, stretched during a brief break. A ray of sunlight from the window shone on Wilvi's profile, captivating Xia Yuan.

Just then~

Out of the corner of her eye, the girl noticed Xia Yuan leaning against the kitchen door.

"Oh, Mr. Xia Yuan, you're awake already?"

Looking into the girl's gentle, almost overflowing eyes, Xia Yuan completely forgot the words he had prepared, and his mind went blank.

All that remained in my sight was her tender, loving gaze.

"etc....."

"Why is Miss Wilvi looking at me with such affectionate eyes, and the gentleness in her words... So, what shouldn't have happened yesterday has already happened?"

"We can't run away, we can't run away..."

Xia Yuan silently recited his own mantra.

"Mr. Xia Yuan, I'll go and cook you some light food. If you're a bit hungry, you can have some of the children's meal I prepared for little Greta to tide you over, provided you admit you're still a child~"

With her hands behind her back, leaning forward, she smiled and spoke to Xia Yuan.

Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Can't Cook!

“Um…Miss Wilvie, about what happened between us last night…”

Xia Yuan stammered, completely lacking the confidence he had when speaking to Little Gretchen earlier.

"Hey, what happened last night?"

The girl took off her apron.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Xia Yuan, let me have my other personality tell you~"

The skilled cook, [Chef] Velvi, slowly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the girl's demeanor had undergone a dramatic change.

"Mr. Xia Yuan, please come with me."

Led by the expert, Vilvi, Xia Yuan returned to his bedroom where he had just woken up.

Gretchen sat quietly at the dining table, seemingly waiting for Aunt Velvey to prepare breakfast for her. However, Aunt Velvey's hands were empty, and she did not come to the table. Instead, she led Xia Yuan back to the bedroom.

"Hmm... Gretsch is hungry. No, that's not right. A mature adult must learn to endure hunger. Gretsch isn't hungry!"

Greta silently cheered herself on~

She wants to grow up so that she can understand things that children shouldn't know, just like her brother Xia Yuan and Aunt Wilvi, and then Gretchen can join them.

Obviously~

Miss Velvet, who had just switched to the [Expert] personality, forgot about the breakfast she had prepared for little Gretchen.

Inside the bedroom.

Xia Yuan watched as the girl touched several books on the bookshelf in the bedroom.

The bookshelf slowly opened as the gears hidden inside the wall turned, revealing a workbench inside. [Expert] Velvet walked to the workbench, took out the weapon that resembled a heavy cannon, and handed it to Xia Yuan.

"Miss Wilvy, what is this?"

"Mr. Xia Yuan, didn't you want to ask about what happened last night?"

Yesterday, after I brought little Gretchen back to the bedroom, when I returned to the living room, Mr. Xia Yuan, you entrusted me with developing a weapon that could contend with the Thousand Calamities.

So~

I upgraded and modified the [Kevin Armor]. Although it won't cause much damage to Qian Jie, it can temporarily restrict his movements and lower his body temperature with absolute zero cold, or something like that.

[Expert] Vilvi deliberately concealed from Xia Yuan everything that happened yesterday related to the [Extremely Evil] personality.

This was a decision she and Ellie had discussed and made together.

Such overwhelming negative emotions...

Even at the subconscious level, it will subtly influence Mr. Xia Yuan's original personality.

The best way is to make Xia Yuan forget everything about [Extreme Evil] forever, as if it never happened. This is a well-intentioned lie woven by Wilvi.

"Oh, is that so?"

Xia Yuan felt that something was off, something strange.

Even the "expert" lady, known for her rationality and aloofness, showed a hint of tenderness in her gaze as she looked at him.

Something did happen last night after all...

“Miss Velvi, why am I sleeping in your bedroom? And little Gretsch told me that there were strange noises coming from the room late at night.”

"That's because you were watching me modify the weapon with great curiosity, Mr. Xia Yuan, and you unknowingly fell asleep next to me. So I put you back by the bed. As for the sound... manufacturing weapons always makes some clanging sounds."

"I'll explain," Vilvi said, holding up a small hammer from the workbench.

The Magician has to clean up her mess again, but thankfully she won't have to see the Magician anymore, and no one will be competing with her for the use of the storeroom anymore. She has been locked up in a dark room by her id.

"Oh, I see."

Wait... no, if that's the case...

"[Expert] Miss, were you forging weapons at your workbench all night?"

Xia Yuan asked tentatively.

"No, Mr. Xia Yuan, I fell asleep after I finished forging the weapon for you. Do you expect me to sleep on the floor?"

[Expert] Virvi didn't offer much explanation, but instead asked Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan quickly waved his hand.

"Alright, that's what happened. Mr. Xia Yuan, go wash your face; breakfast will be served shortly."

At some point, the girl's personality switched again.

[Chef] Vilvi patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder from behind, urging him to leave the bedroom with a smile.

Watching Xia Yuan walk towards the washroom, Wilvi wiped the sweat from her cheeks.

"Is it too difficult for me to make up lies? It seems that this kind of thing is better left to the Magician."

【Thanks a lot....】

“What’s going on? We’re all on the same side. By the way, main personality, you’ve separated us from our thoughts again. Don’t you really want to go and meet Mr. Xia Yuan in person? You were sleeping next to Mr. Xia Yuan last night.”

The chef joked.

Um...actually, I'm not ready yet...

"Staying in this small room all the time won't do. Control of your body is now in your hands. Good luck! The rest of us will be silently supporting you!"

【Eh? Wait...wait a minute! I...I can't cook!】

[Chef] Velvet has disconnected.....

[True Self] Velvi is now online!

Urged on by Miss Wilvi, as Xia Yuan walked through the living room to the bathroom, Gretchen's sudden words while sitting on a small stool left him stunned.

“Brother Xia Yuan…”

"Gresch was trying to sense your color just now, but why did it look so strange? It felt like mud, like Xia Yuan's original color was hidden deep within the mud. I think I've seen something similar on Aunt Wilvie before, but now Gresch can't sense any of the dark colors on Aunt Wilvie."

Xia Yuan covered his forehead with both hands.

A shadowy figure resembling Miss Wilvi flashed through my consciousness.

"It seems I've forgotten something important. What is it? Remember, remember, quickly recall..."

Xia Yuan muttered to himself, somewhat dazed, as he walked toward the washroom.

“Aunt Wilvi, Brother Xia Yuan just walked into the bathroom with his head down and without saying a word, as if he were possessed by a terrible ghost.”

Little Gretchen rushed into the kitchen and tugged at Wilvie's sleeve.

"Could it be Mr. Xia Yuan's subconscious 'extremely evil' personality?"

Miss Wilvi, who was busy in the kitchen, heard Gretchen rushing towards the bathroom, forgetting about the whole cabbage she had just thrown into the pot.
