Live broadcast of Honkai Impact 3rd, I chose to expose Kiana in Sky City!

[Hehe, it's very simple... I want to "make friends" with Mei-san. ]

"Hmm~ What kind of friend is that? If they're the kind that go too far, that won't do~"

A pink bullet screen once again floated across the live broadcast room...

Obviously, Padu's "making friends" touched Alicia's alarm line.

But it was obvious that she was overthinking it, because Paddo's friend was not what she had imagined.

[I’m embarrassed to say this, but the paradise has been a bit chaotic lately, and it’s dangerous to run. I just lost the “can” at this time.]

[Without it, I can't live alone. Mei, since you are looking for someone, why don't we walk together?]

As they were talking, Padu finally showed her true colors and asked to go with them.

[Looking for one person is the same as looking for two people. It's better to go together. I will help you lead the way and you will keep me safe. This way I will save myself a trip to the gates of hell and you will save yourself a lot of money. Why not do it?]

Of course, strictly speaking, Paddo wants to find a bodyguard and a cat for herself...

【How simple is it? 】

[It's that simple! When doing business, you should not fight for short-term gains, but have a long-term vision. And when I was away, Mei-san took care of the store a lot. Well, I'll just consider it as a reward to old customers. ]

In a few words, Padre turned a matter for which she was seeking help into one for which she was offering a discount to regular customers.

It can be said that his business level was revealed in just a few words.

The eldest daughter Mei, of course, was helpless against this street vendor-like Ying Jie.

Of course, now she was busy looking for Raven, so she didn't have the time to think about it.

[Okay, then I'll trouble you to lead the way. ]

[Okay, let's go now without further ado... Oh, I almost forgot, since we want to make friends, I'll give you my seal as well.]

After taking a few steps, Padu suddenly realized that she had not yet given the seal to Mei.

[Although it's not very useful, don't worry, this is free, no money required——]

As the seal fell into Mei's hands, the game immediately played Pado's personal CG.

The first thing that appeared in front of everyone was a kitten wandering in a busy downtown area.

【Life is nothing but an empty dream. It comes and goes in a hurry. So why not live more freely?】

Suddenly, the place where the cat was located changed from the downtown area to the building of the Fire Moth.

The background behind her also changed from pedestrians inside and outside to the glowing Fire Moth logo...

[Anyway, it’s just a bold dream…what’s the problem?]

After the cg finished playing, Padu's engraving option popped up.

Compared to other heroes, it has enhanced characteristics related to skill formation.

Related to the [Empty Dream] engraving bonus is the currency in the paradise of the past life - the shining silver coins.

Padu's Mark not only increases the amount of silver coins obtained, but also increases damage based on the amount of silver coins obtained.

It also provides a small amount of healing and recovery.

In general it is very comprehensive, but it needs to be stacked at a relatively high level to be of great use.

However, even without the blessing of her mark, Mei can still deal with the monsters that appear during the exploration.

So it's not a big problem.

But the only thing that made her unhappy was...

[Wow, you are really good at it. No wonder you can beat Sister Snake.]

After seeing Mei's heroic fighting posture, Paduo couldn't help but sigh...

[Pado, are you planning to just stand by and watch?]

[Oh, Mei-san, I'm just a shop owner. I'm really not good at fighting.]

Faced with Mei's questioning, Paduo politely refused.

Of course, you can't join the battle, but you can use Paddo's assistant character in the game, and he is quite powerful.

In this way, Mei quickly ended the battle with her own efforts and Padu's best help.

Mei chose the mark and entered the next level.

Before the new battle began, she suddenly became curious about who Paduo was looking for.

[Hmm? Didn’t I tell you, “Canned”? You said you would help me look after the store, but you just disappeared... You’re really worrying.]

Even after she said that, Mei still didn't know what this so-called canned food was.

But even if she didn't ask, Mei didn't have too many thoughts.

Fight, select the imprint, and then proceed to the next level.

She slowly searched for the traces of the raven.

As a result, when entering the next level, Padu suddenly asked a very confusing question.

[Um... Mei-sister, are you allergic to cat hair? ]

[Not allergic, what's wrong? ]

When Padu heard Mei say she was not allergic, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason she was worried was that her tail had started to lose hair again recently.

Of course, this was not the only reason that prompted her to ask.

However, since Mei didn't ask any further questions, Paduo would not tell anyone that someone was allergic to cats.

So the two of them continued their exploration.

And on the next floor, Paduo suddenly called Mei.

[Hmm? Wait, Mei-san! I can feel that the "can" is nearby... here, here!]

[Canned...what a strange name.]

Seeing Paduo crawling over like a cat, Mei had no choice but to follow her while fighting.

Finally, following Pado's guidance, Mei finally saw the raven as she wished during the exploration of the last level.

At this moment, she was worrying about a kitten.

[I say... do you know the way back? We have been around here for about ten times, right?]

【Meow......】

The chubby kitten tilted its head, looking aggrieved.

Its appearance really made Raven a little upset.

[Don't look so aggrieved... as if I'm bullying you. Oh, forget it, just keep walking...]

【......!Meow!】

Just as the raven was complaining, the kitten suddenly pounced to the side as if it saw an acquaintance.

This scared the raven.

[Hey, wait a minute!...Hey, Mei? Why are you here?]

Mei heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that Raven was still alive and was fine except for a strange pendant hanging around his neck.

At the same time, he began to complain to this "senior" who was causing him trouble.

[I was going to ask you something, "senpai". You've been missing for so long, and you're here... playing with cats?]

[Please spare me, teasing a cat? Being teased by a cat is more like being teased by a cat. If it weren't for it, how could I be trapped here and unable to get out?]

"Hmm~ I feel like their relationship is getting better and better! I'm a little envious..."

As Raven and Mei were bickering, a pink barrage of comments floated across the live broadcast room.

Obviously, the ease with which Raven and Mei were talking to each other really made her envious and jealous.

At this moment, Paddo, who had already found the can, also started to coax the can.

[Oh, okay, okay, Cantou, stop it! Mei and her friends are still watching... Oh, it's itchy, stop licking! ]

Padu's behavior really made Raven and Mei not know what to say.

They just stared at each other quietly.

After a moment, the raven stretched out its claws and pointed at Padu: [So, this is... your new friend?]

[I guess so. I met him by chance on the road.]

Mei reluctantly treated Paduo as a friend.

The main thing is that she gives people a good impression and is the type that is easy to get along with.

If it's a hero like Qianjie, then I'd better forget about friends...

[Oh my, this is the friend Mei-sister is looking for? I didn't expect that she would be with Cantou, this is really killing two birds with one stone... No, it's fate, it's fate's arrangement!]

When Raven heard what Mei's new friend said, some nonsense like fate, he looked at her with a strange look in his eyes for a moment.

[Hello! My name is Padophys. People usually don’t call me by my full name. Some people call me Phyllis, and some people call me Pado. It doesn’t matter which one you feel is more comfortable with.]

As soon as the raven heard the name Padufils, it immediately put away its strange look.

[Phyllis...are you the owner of the Paradise Shop?]

[Yes, the last one among the thirteen, Ying Jie, who is the "weakest" in both status and strength, and Padufils, the "empty dream" - absolutely the real thing!]

Padu spoke of her weakness and low status with great pride.

"Hmm~ You are so confident and self-aware~"

"If it's her, it doesn't seem strange to say that..."

"Oh, in the end it's just that he's too weak."

As the barrage of comments floated through the live broadcast room, Raven fell into silence.

At this moment, she no longer knew how to communicate with the hero in front of her.

It's commonly known as - speechless...

Mei was also speechless.

But she still remembered what she came here for.

Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to continue exploring.

[......Okay, Padu. The person I'm looking for and the cat you're looking for are both here.]

[Can you think of a way to get us out of here?]

After hearing what Mei said, Paduo said that she, a businessman, could take care of such a small matter.

But what can I say? Because the method of returning is a trade secret.

So Paddo expressed the hope that the two of them could close their eyes, cover their ears, and not look or listen.

Of course, in order not to be disliked by the two, Padre then began to explain.

[It’s not that I don’t trust you! It’s just... Look, if this skill that I use to make a living is accidentally leaked...]

Mei readily agreed to this.

[Okay, thank you for your trust! Next, without further ado, Padu's special service——]

A strong feeling of weightlessness suddenly came over me, and Padovich's already vague voice gradually faded away.

The consciousness seemed to be struggling, trying to escape from its body... trying to get ahead of it and go to the distant darkness...

[Hey hey...Thank you both for your patronage~]

As the flash of black light ended, Mei and Raven returned to the hall thanks to Padufils's "craftsmanship".

After successfully finding the raven, Mei immediately asked about what she had experienced.

As she asked more questions, she learned some rather bizarre information.

[You said you saw a space that looked like a prison? ]
