Chapter 10: Pardo: Am I Infected with the Elysia Virus!?
Mention the name Kiana Kaslana , and Pardofelis's first reaction would be: a humanoid big white cat.
Don't misunderstand; she wasn't a strange person, and this "Gold Medal Certification" wasn't a conclusion she reached herself—it was all Can's doing.
That day, Pardo took Can out shopping, and on the way, they encountered a beautiful white-haired young lady with a first-class figure. Can immediately rushed up, rubbing against her and hugging her.
Pardo was stunned. *Can, who did you learn this from? Rushing forward to kiss and hug a beauty on the street—I don't have anyone like that around me...*
Uh.
The image of a certain pink-haired girl flashed through Pardofelis's mind.
*Well... Can, I don't blame you. After all, you've been influenced so much that you naturally learned it...*
Elysia, you really are a bad influence!!
Fortunately, Can was just a cat. If a human had publicly tried to forcibly hug a beautiful girl on the street, they would likely have been arrested by the police right then and there.
"Eh? A kitty?"
Fortunately, the other party also seemed to like cats very much. She immediately knelt down and reached out to pet Can's head.
Can actively leaned his head in, gently rubbing his small head against her palm and letting out a very comfortable purr. Seeing his eyes squinted into small slits, Pardofelis knew that Can was at the height of bliss.
"I'm so sorry..."
Pardo apologized to the girl with an apologetic look.
The girl showed a bright smile: "It's fine, it's fine. Is this your cat?"
Pardo nodded: "Yes, yes, his name is Can..."
"So your name is Can?" The girl reached for Can's chin. In extreme comfort, Can even lay down in public, exposing his belly, clearly completely entranced by the girl's technique.
Pardo's eyes widened. What's the situation? This fellow Can, rubbing against and exposing his belly to a girl he's meeting for the first time—has he completely let down his guard?
"He seems to like you."
"Really? Hehe, I don't know why, but since I was little, cats have always liked me."
Looking at the girl's smiling face, Pardofelis almost imagined her as a humanoid big cat... Good grief, what's with this strange sense of cuteness? Why is there an urge to pet her vigorously?
Wait, what's going on? Felis , have you been influenced by Sister Elysia too?!
But soon, Pardo looked at the girl's white hair and suddenly connected her to a certain person.
"My name is Pardofelis. What's your name?"
"Me? My name is Kiana Kaslana."
...
Pardofelis finally understood why she felt such a sense of familiarity with this white-haired girl.
Because she looked so much like Boss Kevin!
What's going on? Could Kiana actually be Boss Kevin's illegitimate daughter?
*Big news—this is absolutely big news!*
If Sister MEI found out...
Just thinking about it, Pardo could imagine what kind of hell Boss Kevin would face!
No, no, Pardo, you absolutely cannot tell anyone about this, absolutely not!
Think about what to do in this situation... Right, first get in contact with this girl, and then talk to Boss Kevin about it in private.
Whatever happened, the peace of the Golden Courtyard must not be destroyed!
This peace would be protected by her, Pardofelis!!
Thus, to prevent the world from being destroyed—no, to prevent Boss Kevin from having family conflicts.
Pardofelis volunteered to make contact with Kiana, and then...
And then she became the first good friend Kiana made in Arc City.
?
Strange.
Didn't she make contact with Kiana because of Boss Kevin and Sister MEI? How did they end up becoming best friends!
Pardo! You are being far too unmotivated! This won't do!
Pardofelis directly beat her chest in frustration in her room.
Becoming good friends for no reason! Did this person named Kiana Kaslana have some strange magic? Why did people always unconsciously want to build a good relationship with her!
A listless Pardofelis walked down the corridor of the Golden Courtyard. Elysia, who was coming toward her, greeted her. The Miss Pink Elf was wearing casual clothes and a baseball cap today, clearly preparing to go out.
"Hi~ Pardo~ Did you miss me?"
Pardofelis looked at the pink elf in front of her and immediately wailed.
"I've probably been infected by Sister Elysia's virus."
After saying that, she ignored Elysia's open arms and left dejectedly.
"Eh?"
Elysia looked at Pardo's back with some surprise, tilting her head curiously.
"Infected by the Elysia virus... what does that mean? Pardo, how rude, to associate a cute girl with a virus, hmph~"
In short, Pardofelis and Kiana became good friends, and she also learned from Kiana the purpose of her coming to Arc City.
It was to run a game production company.
Pardofelis breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the words "I'm looking for my dad" didn't jump out of Kiana's mouth.
Although Pardo always wanted to talk to Boss Kevin about this, Kevin had been particularly busy lately, and he was basically nowhere to be seen.
This also meant Pardo could only temporarily drop the idea.
One day, Kiana sent another message.
"Pardo, Pardo, you mentioned before that you're a streamer, right?"
"Yes, I am..."
Pardo was indeed a streamer, though not for food reviews or cat-petting; she was an outdoor streamer who did various outdoor broadcasts, usually liking to film everyone's daily lives together.
The "Golden Courtyard" where she currently lived was the residence of the great wealthy woman, Eden.
The name Eden was a resounding existence in this world as well.
In *Honkai Impact 3rd* , Eden was so wealthy that she was even richer than all of Europe combined; a single person could cover more than half of The MOTHs' expenses. Such immense financial strength really made people feel ashamed just looking at it.
Besides that, Eden had extremely high achievements in music and even researched fashion; the clothing of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers was all designed by Eden.
The Eden in this world was equally wealthy.
Being able to live in the residence of this great wealthy woman naturally meant she was with those dozen or so people familiar to the veteran Captain, Su Mu.
"I have a friend who made a game and wants to ask for your help in promoting it!"
"Promotion? I can do that, but even between good friends, the accounts must be clear, okay?"
As soon as a paid promotion was mentioned, Pardofelis immediately transformed into a money-grubbing little merchant, and gold coins began to sparkle in her eyes.
Don't misunderstand—as wealthy as Sister Eden was, that wasn't Pardo's money after all! Only money earned through hard work could be spent with a peaceful mind!
To fill her small vault, Pardo prepared to show off her skills!
