Making Honkai Impact 3, my partner is the fairy Ellie

Sensing the subtle looks from everyone and the implicit meaning in Padufilis' words, Xia Yuan raised his right hand and quickly explained in order to prevent everyone's thoughts from being misled by little Padufilis:

"I swear, that sound just now was definitely not made by me."

Gollum-

The fairy Ai Li suddenly crawled out of Xia Yuan's arms without giving Xia Yuan any chance to explain.

With his hands on his hips, he looked at Qianjie, who was standing in the kitchen with fire coming out of his head.

“Qianjie, even if you don’t cook for the cute goblins, you should still consider the guests of our paradise. You should know that we can be here in large part because of little Xia Yuan~ And now poor little Xia Yuan is cold and hungry, starving and cold, and his eyes are blurry. He hasn’t even had a drop of water to drink. Woo woo woo, he is really pitiful.”

Fairy Ellie wiped the tears sparkling in the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Looking at Qianjie's burning gaze, Xia Yuan was about to speak when the fairy Ai Li stuffed an apple into his mouth that she had taken from the kitchen.

"Wow, wow, wow...Xiao Xia Yuan, you must be starving. There's nothing we can do. Qian Jie won't cook for us, so we have to let you eat an apple first to fill your stomach. Maybe we can even pick up some vegetable leaves to eat when we go outside later."

Qianjie glanced at everyone and snorted coldly.

"Forget it, let's all go into the private room. You don't have to pay for the meal. Just eat whatever I cook. After you finish eating, go back to where you came from. Don't disturb my peace anymore."

Qianjie turned around and walked straight to the wok, heating the oil very skillfully.

"Hmm~ I knew that you would never abandon us, Qianjie. I'll leave it to you, Qianjie. Xiao Xiayuan and Yidian will soon come to the box to choose seats."

"Okay, I'll sit at the Padona table~"

Xia Yuan pointed at Padua Felice beside him and joked.

"Go away... We don't want to sit with Brother Xia Yuan!"

Padufils pushed Xia Yuan aside with a bit of disgust and shame. Under the influence of the [Discipline], if Brother Xia Yuan sat next to her, she might put all the delicious food into his bowl.

It seems that little Padu is still sulking.

Xia Yuan looked around the room. Apart from the fairies Ellie and Eden sitting next to him, Phyllis who was far away from him, and Aponia who was praying silently... he suddenly realized that there seemed to be one person missing.

"Well, where is Velvet?"

Just as Xia Yuan was thinking, the door of the box slowly opened.

Weiwei walked in dazedly with her limp little hands, and slowly sat down next to Abonya without saying a word.

"Um....what happened to Miss Vivi?"

Xia Yuan asked the other party subconsciously.

"Mr. Xia Yuan... As a member of Baiwei, I am considered good at cooking. I wanted to help Qianjie in the kitchen, but he kicked me out and told me not to cause trouble."

Poor Miss Weili was hit again. She lay at the table with her hands resting on her cheeks, revealing a hint of helplessness in her loss. She clearly just wanted to show her craftsmanship to Mr. Xia Yuan... What did she do wrong?

[Don't show off, Baiwei. Come to the small room in the consciousness space to accompany me and the fraudster... I just made a seat for you on the sofa, it's still warm~ Come in and sit down. ]

After a while...

Wei Wei, who had buried her head deep in the table, suddenly stood up and walked towards the door with an expressionless face.

Chapter 179 Bronya wants the Hom set meal

"Um.....Miss [Baiwei], what are you going to do now?"

Since Xia Yuan's seat was close to the door of the room, he saw the other person pass by him casually and walk straight out the door. Worried that the girl would go to the kitchen and compete with Qianjie for the right to use the kitchen, Xia Yuan couldn't help but ask softly.

"Go get the plates...

And it’s not Miss [Baifa], it’s Miss [Expert].”

Wei Erwei answered Xia Yuan's question very rationally, then closed the door and left.

After a while...

In the kitchen of [Houm Restaurant], Qianjie's mask showed an angry expression. He looked at Wei Wei who was watching him cooking outside the window and whispered a greeting:

"Blacksmith...Why don't you go sit in the room? What are you doing hanging around in front of me?"

"Serve the dishes."

Weiwei replied Qianjie expressionlessly.

"...Forget it, whatever you want, but just don't come in and cause trouble."

With the joint efforts of the expressionless waitress Miss Weiwei and the passionate Master Qianjie, one dish after another with delicious taste and fragrance was served in front of Xia Yuan and the others.

"Wow, so rich?"

Fairy Ellie rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

I originally thought that what I would get would just be Qianjie's six equal portions of fried rice, but I didn't expect the dishes to be so rich.

"Qianjie, you..."

The fairy Ai Li looked at Qianjie, who was standing upright on the side with his arms around his chest and an apron on his neck, but the other party forcibly interrupted the nearly ten-page speech that the girl had organized in her mind to express her praise for Qianjie's behavior.

"Alicia, just sit down and eat your meal."

Seeing Qianjie trying to leave, Xia Yuan, who was sitting on the side, stretched out his hand to try to keep him.

"Um...Qianjie, do you want to sit down and eat with us?"

"No need."

Qianjie glanced at Xia Yuan and responded in a low voice.

But the fairy Ai Li had already flown in front of Qianjie and was pulling his mask to keep him.

"Qianjie, Xiao Xiayuan has already said that it is rare for you to prepare so many delicious foods for us.

Why don't you stay and eat together? It will be more lively if there are more people~ To express gratitude, the lovely fairy specially gave the seat next to Xiao Xia Yuan to you, Qian Jie~"

The fairy Ai Li made a gesture of invitation to Qianjie.

I just accidentally took off the mask on the other person's face...

"Brother Jie, what's the real face under the mask?!"

When Padofili saw the Jiemie mask in the fairy Ellie's hand, she quietly ran to a position where she could observe the other party and watched secretly. She had been curious about what was under Brother Jie's mask for a long time, but she never had the chance.

"Hey.....Brother Jie, is there still a mask underneath it?!"

Qianjie took the Jiemie mask that the fairy Ai Li had taken away. Unable to bear Ai Lixia's nagging, he quickly left the room, leaving behind only a slightly hoarse whisper.

“I’ve eaten…”

He prefers to be alone rather than being with others.

In the kitchen of [Houm Restaurant]... Qianjie is squatting outside at the moment, holding a box of fried rice in his hand. Even when eating, the Ao Mine Warrior will not easily take off the mask on his face.

Tread-tap-

The sound of crisp footsteps broke the silence. Qianjie subconsciously looked in the direction of the footsteps. When he saw that the person coming was Eden, he ran to the corner as fast as he could, leaving a deep back view to the other person.

"What's the matter?"

Qianjie's deep voice echoed in Eden's ears.

"Um...Qianjie, is there any wine here?"

Eden looked at Qianjie's back, who was squatting in the corner of the kitchen, and asked softly.

Qianjie slowly turned around and stretched out the chopsticks in his right hand to guide Eden, but the box in his left hand for cooking was empty.

"We don't have the famous wine you like, Eden, here. We only have ordinary beer."

"It doesn't matter....as long as there is wine, it will be enough."

For Eden, alcohol is an indispensable part of any party.

"Qianjie, you really won't come and join us?"

Eden carried several boxes of beer and once again politely invited Qianjie who was in the corner of the kitchen.

"Hmph...what are you doing in there? To listen to the noises you make when you're drunk, Eden?"

Qianjie waved his hand impatiently, asking Eden to leave quickly. When he saw Eden leaving, Qianjie quickly stood up from the corner, picked up the water cup on the side and drank it all.

He choked...

An hour later, all kinds of sounds in the box reached Qianjie's ears.

"Xia Yuan, can you perform that?"

"Ellie....which one is that?"

"That's it~"

Happiness is different for each person. He only felt the noise. Qianjie, who wanted to calm down outside the restaurant, unexpectedly discovered two people walking towards him from across the street.

Walking in front was a man wearing a white and black business suit with hair tied on both sides that looked like a corkscrew.

This is Qianjie’s first impression.

The person walking slightly behind was wearing the same maid style that Alicia often wore at parties.

The two were Bronya and Rita...

They are looking for Xia Yuan who was taken away by a strange cat creature.

"Hmm.....a white-collar worker and a maid."

Qianjie, who thought that he was incompatible with the two of them and didn't want to cause any trouble in his life, was just about to return to the restaurant when he was suddenly stopped by the other party.

"Please wait a moment, this...master?"

Bronya called out as she looked at the chef's hat on his head and the white apron tied around his waist.

"It seems...

“He’s the chef of this [Horum Restaurant]. Maybe if you eat here, he’ll give you a Horum doll.

"Wait, Bronya, now is not the time for you to think about this kind of thing. Your stupid subordinate was taken away by that strange cat creature and his whereabouts are unknown. How can he be tempted by a mere Homunculus doll?

"Bronya, you must be more sober now..."

Bronya slapped her cheeks with both hands, trying to sober herself up from the temptation of Horm. She had to distinguish the pros and cons of the current situation. At least... find the stupid subordinate first, and then buy the Horm set meal.

Bronya's words reached Qianjie's ears.

Qianjie couldn't help but stop, but he didn't turn around.

"Hmm? Is there anything wrong... If you want to eat, our store is closed." But Qianjie changed the subject and looked at the stores around him. In such cold weather, there were probably not many restaurants still open. "If you don't mind, there are some fried rice left in the kitchen. You can help yourself."

Qianjie exhaled a puff of hot air from under his mask, dispelling the severe cold around him.

Chapter 180 Bronya has grown up and can no longer be angry

"Hey, is the Hom set meal sold out?!"

No... No, now is not the time to think about these things. If the chef wearing a mask had been outside all the time, he might have witnessed the figure of the stupid subordinate.

With a try-it-out attitude, Bronya asked:

"Ahem... please wait a moment, Mr. Chef...

"I'm Bronya Zajcek, and this is Rita Rossweisse. Bronya wants to ask you about someone. Mr. Chef, have you seen the person in the photo?"

Bronya took a photo out of her front pocket.

The photo was kept very properly, and it can be seen that Bronya seemed to cherish it very much.

The photo shows a photo of Bronya and Xia Yuan.

When he heard that the other party was not coming to eat but to inquire about someone, Qianjie slowly turned around and carefully looked at the person in front of him and the person shown in the photo in the other party's hand.

When Rita, who was behind Bronya, saw Senjie wearing the mask, perhaps out of her body's instinctive reaction, she subconsciously put her hand on Bronya's shoulder, as if she wanted to pull Bronya back.

Rita was not frightened by the other person's appearance.

Instead, there is a terrifying aura of evil emanating from this masked man...

Although she was hidden by the other party, Rita was extremely sensitive to this dangerous aura because of her long-term companionship with Yulandel and secretly handling various difficult tasks.

"Bronya, please be careful. The person in front of you is very dangerous."
