The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

Hearing what Alicia said, Mebius immediately cast his gaze in the direction of Kiana and Raiden Mei!

"So it's them~~~The Herrscher of Sky and Herrscher of Thunder in this era are really two lovely girls."

"Right? I think so too, Professor Mebius!" Alicia came to Mebius happily, "But... don't do anything excessive to them. , Professor Mebius. Exia loves them very much."

"Hmph, you don't need to remind me, Alicia."

Mebius snorted coldly.

"I have long lost interest in the existence of the Herrscher. Studying Ixia's power is now much more interesting to me than studying the Herrscher - if there is nothing else, then leave my experiment. Let's go to the room. Don't disturb me from my experiments. Ixia can leave for the time being. I don't need you anymore. I will come back to you if necessary."

"Are you rushing to drive me away? I'm so sad, Professor Mebius." Alicia hugged Mebius's little body from behind with some sadness, "Obviously I still have There are a lot of things I want to tell you, such as~~~what about us leaving here?"

"...."

Mebius' movements paused, and his snake-like eyes quickly glanced at Alicia: "You...when did you start eavesdropping? I don't even know if you still You have such a hobby, Alicia."

"Hehehe~~~This means that we need more in-depth communication."

"...What do you want to talk about?"

"It's nothing. I just wanted to confirm with you, Professor, but now it seems that confirmation is no longer needed."

Alicia let go of Mebius: "In this case, I, Velvet and the professor will leave with Alexia. We have already gathered three people. Eden also said it, and then it will be Let’s ask Sakura and Hua... I’ll ask the boys last. I don’t know if little Gracie and Aponya are willing to go out?”

"...I advise you not to waste your efforts, Alicia."

Mebius said solemnly.

"You should know that no one else wants to leave here except us, especially Aponia."

"You have to try everything. Thinking about failure before trying is something only a fool would do, right? Alexia." Alicia cast her gaze towards Alexia.

Alexia raised her head and said, "No problem, no problem... But if this thing is really going to be implemented, let's wait for Velvet to create a pseudo-heroic spirit transformation device. If If it doesn’t work for her, I’ll take action again—but, if you say so, then I can be sure that you have already made a decision?”

"Of course. You can leave here and go to the new era outside to see more wonderful things. How could I give up such a good opportunity? Alicia will not waste her beautiful youth in this underground place that will never see the light of day~ ~~" Alicia smiled, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I almost forgot - little Pado! Don't hide outside the door all the time, come in and have a girls' meeting together!"

"Oh~~~!"

When Alicia shouted, a somewhat panicked voice suddenly sounded outside the laboratory door.

Then, a cat's tail stretched out from the door first, and then a girl's figure also popped out with some flinching: "Then, what... are you bothering me~~~Sister Snake... ..”

33. Pado: The boss is awesome!

Padophyllis.

The last seat of Zhuhuo Yingjie was inscribed with [Empty Dream] - Regarding this Yingjie, Alexia had naturally heard about it from Su.

On weekdays, he is lazy and never participates in missions. He likes to collect all kinds of shiny gold coins, gems, or extremely rare items. He can easily feel happy and satisfied... It was rare for Su to use it at that time. There are few words to describe her, but to sum up, it can be basically concluded that Padofelis is a carefree and lively, but slightly greedy and lazy habitual fisherman.

However, in addition to these characteristics, Su also said that in terms of combat effectiveness, Patrophilis is definitely the weakest among the heroes. Even Su, a civilian, can easily defeat her - in the final analysis , not all fusion warriors are overly strong, most of them are only at the level that [human soldiers with outstanding talents can reach it after hard training].

Patrophilis falls into that category.

Alexia did not expect to see the weakest hero in this situation.

Looking at the cat-like girl who walked into Mebius's laboratory with a frightened look and dressed coolly, Alexia said, "Is this Padofelis?"

"Yes, we met you on the way here. We thought we might find you here, so we brought you here together."

Alicia took Padofelis's hand and came to Alexia: "Don't be so scared, little Paddo, Professor Mebius won't eat you."

"But, I still have some psychological shadows, Sister Ai Li, isn't Sister Snake's laboratory famous for not wanting others to step in? I just broke in casually and was caught by Sister Snake. Doesn't it mean that we can only see him on the operating table?" When Padofelis said this, her eyes kept glancing at Mebius.

As the weakest hero, Patrophilis always believed that as long as she could live happily, she would be thankful to God. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary bad luck, she established many safety rules for herself.

For example, "Run away when you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, it's important to stay alive", "Stay away from Brother Jie"... and "Don't approach Sister Snake's laboratory casually" is also one of them.

After all, even within the Fire Chaser, Mebius's laboratory is quite "notorious", conducting inhuman human experiments, carrying out devil research without any moral bottom line... and so on. There are quite a lot of rumors in the Fire Chasing Moth.

As a super newcomer who only joined the Fire Chaser due to various misunderstandings after the tenth Honkai outbreak, Patrophilis was extremely afraid of Mebius because of this, for fear that one day she would become The experimental subject on Mebius's operating table.

Hearing that Padofelis was so afraid of him, Mebius also put down the test tube in his hand: "In that case, do you want to go to my operating table now, little Paddo?"

"Hey~~~! Stop! Sister Snake, I was wrong!"

Padofelis immediately hid behind Alicia like a frightened bird! The whole person was trembling, like a frightened cat!

This scene surprised Alexia.

(This is... Ying Jie?)

In Alexia's impression, the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire should all be heroes from pre-civilizations. Although they may have different personalities, they should at least be very reliable and mature people. Even Alicia, in fact, It's almost the same. But Padofelis... you said she was a large Kiana, and Alexia believed it!

"It's really the same as what Su said..."

"Eh? Boss Kevin?"

When hearing Alexia's voice, Patophilis, who was hiding behind Alicia, looked over subconsciously: "No, no! It's not Boss Kevin. Boss Kevin wouldn't smile so normally~ ~~But he looks similar to Boss Kevin!”

"Little Pado, you can't let Kevin hear this." Alicia smiled, "Speaking of which, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Alexia, who came to the Paradise of the Past to participate in the trial. The successor of Lian—and also the temporary resident of the guest room you visited last night.”

"Oh, so it's...Eh!?"

The second half of Alicia's words immediately made Padofelis's face turn pale, her tail immediately stood straight up, and a large amount of cold sweat quickly flowed from her forehead!

"O-so that's your place...ah hahaha~~~"

"Um?"

Padofelis's somewhat unusual reaction made Alexia feel doubtful in her heart: "That's indeed where I live. What's wrong with that? Miss Padow."

"Uh...this...that..."

"Little Pado took...or took away one or two things from you last night."

Ignoring the embarrassment and defeated look on Pado Felice's face, Alicia directly said something that could make Pado's heart stop: "This is Pado's bad habit. He always likes to take away something when he doesn't go to a place. What... So now I will bring her to you to admit my mistake. Come, little Pado."

"Uh...what..."

Walking out from behind Alicia uneasily, Patophilis looked at Alexia: "Yes, I'm sorry! Boss! I really didn't mean it, I just touched it out of habit when I passed by. I already took it when I reacted! I will return it to you personally later! Please forgive me if you have enough!"

"..."

Is this an apology?

This is the first time that Alexia has heard someone say an apology in such a [fresh and refined] way.

(I feel like she will get along well with Kiana...)

"Well... you said that, but I don't know what you took from me." Alexia thought for a while, "I remember I didn't bring anything valuable here, I guess you I just took some of my sundries. It’s not a big deal and I don’t need to pursue it.”

"real!?"

Pato Felice's eyes lit up instantly: "Thank you, boss! The boss is so generous!"

"No...don't call me boss, okay? Why do you all like to give me nicknames?"

Mebius's guinea pig, Velvet's magic assistant, and now there's Pado's boss, plus Alicia's... Is it possible that the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire are doing this for them? Do they give others nicknames?

"So - are you done talking now?"

Speaking impatiently, Mebius glanced at everyone present.

"You gather here chattering like this, making it impossible for me to do experiments... Once we've finished talking about this, can you please leave my laboratory?"

34. Kiana who doesn’t want to be a younger sister

Under Mebius's expulsion order, Exia and others could only leave the paradise of the past under the leadership of Alicia, taking Kiana, who was knocked unconscious by Exia's two hand knives.

And not long after returning to the hall——

"Brother... sometimes I really wonder, do you really think of me as your sister?"

Kiana, who had just woken up not long ago, showed a deep look and asked Alexia.

"Isn't this nonsense?"

Alexia glanced at Kiana questioningly: "Did you have your brain damaged by my two knives?"

"That's what I'm talking about!" Kiana crawled over to Alexia who was sitting on the sofa. She sat upright and asked with a serious expression: "Which brother would hit him with a knife if he was unhappy?" It’s my sister’s head! This is 100% domestic violence—domestic violence—right!?”

To put it more directly, Kiana even felt that Alexia was treating her differently. She had hardly ever hit anyone else in the family, but she, the younger sister, had to endure her brother’s [iron fist of love] almost every day!

Kiana would be happy to accept positive differential treatment, such as being able to eat for two people every day, or giving Exiya more pocket money. But Kiana really doesn’t want this kind of reverse differential treatment. What if she is beaten into a fool?

Kiana's protest made Alexia pull the corners of her mouth uncontrollably a few times. Regardless of the other people still here, she reached out and hooked Kiana's neck, suppressing her in her arms and using her fists. He dug into her temple: "Good guy... you didn't mention the reason why you said some nonsense? If you are careful about your words and deeds, you can save me the trouble with Mei Yi and Bronya." Xin, am I going to teach you this? Ang?"

"It hurts, it hurts~~~! It hurts so much! Brother, I was wrong!"

The love from her brother made Kiana admit defeat on the spot and beg for mercy.

As soon as Alexia let go, she immediately threw herself into the arms of Raiden Mei: "Mei~~~Brother, he bullied me!"

"Okay, okay~~~ Stop playing tricks, Kiana."

Leiden Mei helped Kiana smooth her hair dotingly: "If you don't want to be beaten, just pay attention to your words and deeds. Fu Hua, Ying and I have taught you this, and Miss Rita also gave you special training. Is it done?"

"Well...but I just can't learn..." Kiana rubbed against Raiden Mei's chest and ate her tofu openly, "That's too serious. I don't want to change. He is a tough person like Master Cheng."

"Hard..."

Leiden Meiyi applied this adjective to Fu Hua in her mind - in various senses, it seems to be quite appropriate?

(But if Fu Hua hears it, it feels like Kiana’s training volume will double again.)

It was because this was the Paradise of the Past that Kiana could escape.

Looking at the somewhat cheerful atmosphere, Alicia also walked over with joy: "The relationship between you brothers and sisters is really good, Kiana, Alexia."

"Sister Ai Li...is it a good relationship if a brother hits a sister?" Kiana asked with a bitter face, "If that's the case, then I might as well not be my brother's sister. Anyway, my brother and I They’re not really siblings.”

"Oh?"

Alicia suddenly became interested: "What's going on? Alexia?"

"...Forget it, let's just talk about it. It's not something that needs to be hidden anyway. In fact, it's just that Kiana and I have some complicated backgrounds, coupled with some previous misunderstandings."

Nothing to hide.

Alexia explained her and Kiana's background to Alicia.

And after listening to it——

"So... you are actually just brothers and sisters in name?" Alicia was a little dumbfounded.

Alexia, Bianca, Kiana—the relationship between these three people is so messed up. Even in the previous civilization, Alicia has never seen such a complicated triangle relationship. It feels like Just like the ball of yarn that Padofelis's can would love.

"Absolutely. This kind of title [brother and sister] is just a matter of habit." Alexia nodded, "I am a little strict with Kiana because of this title. How should I put it... I just put her in the right place from the beginning. As a younger sister, I would subconsciously assume my older brother’s position towards her in terms of attitude and views.”

"I see......"

"Is it my brother's position to hit my sister on the head from time to time?" Kiana muttered in a low voice.

Alexia: "You didn't do it yourself?"

Kiana: "Humph!"

Alexia: "Is your skin itchy again?"

Looking at Alexia's iron fist raised again, Kiana quickly shrunk her neck and continued to arch into Raiden Mei's arms, causing Raiden Mei to blush. But in this situation, she let go of Kiana. No, it’s not even if you don’t let go of Kiana...

"Then~~~~"

Alicia spoke again: "Does Kiana not want to be Alexia's [sister] now?"

"Eh?"

"Um?"

This question made Exia and Kiana stunned, and Kiana immediately started thinking while holding Raiden Mei: "Hmm... In various senses, I really want to If you do this and continue to be a younger sister, there will be a lot of inconveniences."

"Oh? For example?" Alicia's interest became even more intense.

"The first and most important thing is [status] in the family!"

Kiana glared at Alexia as she spoke: "The way my brother is now, I feel that sooner or later everyone in the family will be killed by him, and I'm afraid I will have six or seven more sisters-in-law - —Then, as a [sister], wouldn’t I naturally be lowered?”

"You're talking about this again..." Alexia helplessly raised her forehead, "I told you that no one in the family would care about this kind of thing."

"But I don't care!"

Kiana pouted: "You know, Bronya is now Ms. Cheng's sister-in-law. If one day even Mei becomes my sister-in-law..."
