I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　……

　Of course, at this time, Lingmo was unaware that three heroes had been discussing her matter for quite some time, and she was even more confused as to why she had been targeted by Snake for no apparent reason.

　However, even if Suzuma finds out about this now, she probably won't prioritize it, since... the situation she's facing right now is probably even more "serious".

　Because she never expected that at this moment, Ying Jie, who was in Pado's memory area, was not the only one.

　Time goes back to ten minutes ago...

　"Oh, Phyllis, this ornament is so pretty! And it seems to be a perfect pair with the decoration on my head, one on each side!"

　"Isn't it beautiful, Sister Alice? These two feather decorations are even in matching black and white colors."

　Pado gave an embarrassed smile: "However, I can only make the appearance. If you want to add some special functions, you'll probably have to do it yourself."

　"By the way, I haven't asked yet. Why did Sister Ellie suddenly start preparing gifts? Are they for some guests?"

　"Hmm...actually, I don't know either."

　Ellie smiled and said, "I just sensed some faint information from the power fluctuations a while ago, so I'll just make some preparations for now."

　"Cute girls often have a very keen sixth sense, don't they?"

　Chapter 124 Aponia: What a wonderful misunderstanding! (Joyful)

　"A sixth sense? Then it's perfectly normal to prepare specifically for it."

　After hearing Ellie's reasoning, the cat nodded in agreement: "I have this strange sixth sense too."

　"For example, when I want to do something, if I feel a strange palpitation in my heart, I usually give up decisively. So far, this feeling has saved me many times."

　"Really... then Phyllis, you'll have to keep following this feeling, okay?"

　Ellie stroked the cat's head, feeling Paddy's soft hair brush against her fingertips, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

　"Of course, we're so afraid of dying, we definitely won't deliberately go into danger."

　Pado squinted her eyes, her cat ears trembling slightly under the head-patting onslaught, showing that the girl was in a very comfortable state.

　Then, both of them paused for a moment.

　"Oh, Phyllis, I think I need to leave for a while?"

　After carefully sensing for a moment, Ellie decisively chose to take her leave, because, if she wasn't mistaken, just now...

　The primordial power she had felt not long ago reappeared within her perception range.

　However, this time, the power did not contain as much information that only she could decipher as it did last time. Instead, it was closer to the normal use of power, which puzzled Ellie. How could another primordial power appear in Paradise?

　So she decided to go and see for herself.

　"It's alright, Sister Aili, we also have something to do here."

　Pado swayed her tail and then deftly hooked a fruit from her stall.

　"I don't know why, but it seems like there's a problem with the canned food. They keep urging me to go over there... I'll go see if she's found something good again."

　"Then Phyllis, you'd better be careful not to get taken to some weird place by the canned food again, okay?"

　"No, no way! It was just an accident that I ended up at Brother Jie's place last time!"

　Pado waved her hand, then vanished from Ai Li's sight in a flash.

　"Phyllis is still so energetic..."

　Ellie smiled slightly, casually opened a portal, and stepped inside.

　Then... the two met at the same node in Paradise, looking at each other in bewilderment.

　"Uh... what a coincidence, Sister Aili, you're going this way too?"

　Pado scratched her head somewhat awkwardly.

　"Yes, and maybe... we're going to the same place?"

　Ellie winked playfully, already having some guesses in her mind.

　……

　Meanwhile, Suzumo's situation was not so good.

　"Wow, nobody told me canned food was so hard to get!"

　As Lingmo swiftly navigated through the data space, she felt herself becoming quite sweaty.

　Although the original work did not explain what Paddo's abilities as a Fusion Warrior were, it only emphasized her innate good fortune. However, judging from the text's description of her being able to freely use the Second Divine Key, "opening a door" on the End, and confidently rescuing Rin from the Fire Moth's blockade, it is not difficult to guess that Paddo's abilities are related to space.

　However, Lingmo never expected that the canned food would have the same abilities as Pado!

　When Lingmo saw the can casually slit a hole and jump in, she thought it was just a unique way of traveling in the Paradise of the Past. But when she cut out her own large size, she realized something was wrong... The can was clearly jumping between different data spaces!

　This put Lingmo in a difficult position. Teleporting to other spaces only required a swipe of her hand, but if she wanted to go to other spaces, she had to carefully conceal her abilities, for fear that if the aura of corrosion was exposed, it would directly trigger the automatic defense mechanism of Paradise.

　therefore……

　"Phew... Boss, I finally caught you..."

　When Suzumo successfully picked up the can, her transformation time was running out.

　"Meow!"

　"Little one, don't move! I just want to talk to you about something... Ouch—that hurts!"

　Caught off guard, Suzuma, who only had a few seconds left to transform, was scratched hard by the can.

　But it doesn't matter. The power of erosion only takes a moment to take effect. Before the transformation ends, Suzuma still has time to seal off the canned food's memories of her... right?

　Seeing the two people who suddenly appeared in this area along with the spatial fluctuations, Lingmo and Guantou were both stunned.

　Meanwhile, Cat and Ellie, who had just followed the trail of the canned food, also fell silent.

　A moment later, the cat hugged its head.

　"W-what's going on? There are two Ellie sisters?!"

　……

　"Hey, Dr. Möbius, aren't you a little moved to see the child and the child's mother finally reunited?"

　"I'm moved, my foot! Vilvie, do you want to fight?!"

　Mebius wanted nothing more than to jump off her aircraft and bite Velvi: "I already told you she can't be my child. Besides, what mother starts flirting with her daughter the moment they meet!"

　"You talk as if you can beat me..."

　Velvi snorted. Snake's combat power wasn't among the top tier of fusion warriors; he was more troublesome. If Velvi switched to her Anti-Kevin Armor Model 8, she could easily suppress Mebius. So, she wasn't afraid of Snake getting angry.

　"However, when you put them side by side... she and Ellie look so alike! Apart from their height, there are almost no differences between them."

　"And so is his demeanor."

　Aponia added, "Rinma's temperament is a bit more submissive... like the kind of girl who, even if she's been bullied badly, will only look at you pitifully, which only fuels your desire to bully her even more... yeah, a submissive type."

　"Oh?"

　Velvi's eyes darted around: "I suddenly remembered, it seems that Dr. Möbius was completely helpless against Ellie. So that's why. Is this personality trait actually to satisfy his own need to bully Ellie? It's like someone implanted a low-level code in Klein that made him like working overtime?"

　"Or perhaps, Dr. Möbius wasn't actually creating a daughter, but rather, as time passed, he missed the departed Ellie so much that he created a little Ellie to keep him company? Am I right, Dr. Möbius?"

　Vervi turned around with a wicked grin, but she found that Mebius's face was not flushed with anger, but rather showed a look of sudden realization and a sudden surge of guilt.

　"..."

　Vervi's expression changed slightly.

　"No, this child isn't really related to you, is it, Möbius?"

　"This, this..."

　Feeling that he understood everything, Möbius immediately turned around guiltily and disappeared into the deepest depths.

　"Wait, let me go back and study that little pink mouse properly first!"

　Velvi turned her incredulous gaze toward Aponia.

　"Don't worry, although Mebius is stubborn, she still knows her limits."

　Aponia smiled helplessly: "This is probably just... a beautiful misunderstanding?"

　"However, in the future I envision... misunderstandings might not necessarily lead to a positive outcome."

　Chapter 125 Ellie: Whose little pet is this... I'm not going to be polite!

　Meanwhile, on the other side of Paradise, the three people and one cat, looking at each other in bewilderment, found themselves in a very strange atmosphere.

　However, this atmosphere was broken just a few seconds later when Lingmo suddenly turned back into a dazed state.

　"Love, Sister Ali..."

　The cat looked at Ellie with a puzzled expression: "What... is going on?"

　"Meow?"

　At this moment, the bewildered Lingmo could no longer restrain the round can. In a flash, the can jumped onto Pado's shoulder.

　"Oh, oh... so it was you who saw this in the collection room... uh, the smaller version of Alice's?"

　The cat immediately began to understand the meaning of the canned food in a way that Lingmo couldn't comprehend.

　"So, even you, Canned Food, don't know how she appeared?"

　Lingmo immediately started sweating profusely.

　What's with this feeling of guilt when you try to do something bad but fail, and then the other person tells your parents about it?

　After thinking for a moment, Suzumo made a decisive decision... to run away!

　The first infiltration plan ended in utter failure!

　However, before Lingmo could jump up and escape this data space, she felt a slender hand gently pinch the back of her neck and lift her up.

　"Ahem, actually it's like this, Phyllis."

　Ellie's smile remained unchanged as she earnestly covered for Lingmo.

　"She's actually a pet I recently got, you know? Hmm... that sounds a bit much, anyway, she's kind of like the fairy Ellie?"

　"Oh!"

　Pado suddenly realized: "It was that time when Sister Wilvi and Sister Snake came to see you together, right? I was wondering why those two were suddenly together, so that's why..."

　Unfortunately, because sensing Ellie's primordial aura requires a certain level of strength and some prior experience with Ellie's primordial power, although most of the heroes of Paradise sensed the primordial power of the entire Aite group some time ago, Pado was clearly not among them.

　"Hmm...that's right, is that it?"

　Ellie gently shook the bell in her hand, as if signaling something, and the bell quickly responded with a "Mimi, Mimi" sound.

　"Huh? She seems pretty smart, she even transformed into human form just now. She's better than a canned food... Ouch, ouch, ouch, I didn't mean to say you're bad, canned food!"

　"Okay, okay, I'll go find you some canned food to make it up to you..."

　After Guantou meowed a few times, Pado looked at Aili with a helpless expression and said, "Well, Sister Aili, I'll take Guantou and go now. You should spend your time getting to know her better."

　"Bye-bye, Phyllis?"

　Ellie waved with a smile, watching the two disappear from the spot, and then...

　She placed Lingmo in her hand with a half-smile and quietly looked at Lingmo.

　For some inexplicable reason, Lingmo thought of a video she had seen in her previous life.

　[This is the first lesbian character in Honkai Impact 3rd. Would you dare to make eye contact with her for ten seconds?]

　And the answer...

　Obviously, that won't work.

　Less than five seconds later, Suzuma was defeated by Airi's stunning beauty and took the initiative to try to break the current strange atmosphere.

　"Confused, confused? Confused, confused..."

　Looking at Mimi, whose limbs were swaying and whose ears were drooping, Ellie couldn't help but chuckle.

　"Alright, little guy, I won't do anything to you... But the environment here is still a bit messy."
