Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

Everyone gathered together and had dinner as usual. Because the captain was there, the atmosphere in the dormitory was a little more lively than the previous few days. But now Bronya is still lying on the hospital bed. When thinking of this, everyone There is no way I can be truly happy.

The captain's eyes swept over everyone around the table. Because everyone was in the same mood, he could easily catch the subtle changes in everyone's expressions.

When the captain's eyes glanced at Fu Hua, Fu Hua naturally avoided it. The captain didn't pay attention, but put his eyes on Theresa.

Theresa looked at the captain, took a sip of water, and then took the initiative to mention Bronya.

"Speaking of which, Kiana, are you going to visit Bronya tomorrow?"

"Huh? Ah, it was Mei who went there yesterday, and I plan to visit her tomorrow too."

When Bronya was suddenly mentioned, everyone obviously noticed something, and everyone's eyes also focused on Theresa.

"You, don't stare at me like this. Bronya's physical condition has become more and more stable in recent days, but there is no solution to the problem of damaged brain chips."

"Theresa, I think you've found some clue, right?" Jizi, who was sitting next to Theresa, asked.

"Well, I recently found some useful clues in the "Destiny" database, but the information is too messy, and it may take a few days to find the relevant data. "

"How sure are you?"

Jizi said, temporarily putting down the chopsticks in her hand.

"It's hard to tell now. The directions pointed by those materials are very fragmentary. We can only follow the clues slowly."

"Well, that's it..."

Ji Zi nodded thoughtfully and stopped asking.

"Don't worry, everyone, Bronya will definitely get better."

Theresa pretended to smile confidently, and everyone smiled back heartily. At least things are developing in a good direction, which is great for the current situation.

"Ahem, yes, Captain."

"Ok?"

Theresa changed the topic and suddenly turned the topic to the captain.

"You guy! Tell me honestly, have you been staying up late lately!?"

"?"

Theresa pouted and raised her voice deliberately. After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the captain again, but after careful observation, there seemed to be no trace of staying up all night on the captain's face.

"Theresa, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"You still said! Your secretary's little report came to me!"

"Xiao Misha? Well...it seems they are still a little worried..."

"What? What did Misha say? What happened? Auntie, tell me!"

Kiana urged Theresa to speak quickly, while not forgetting to continue stuffing shrimp balls into her mouth.

"Misha told me today that this guy has been working late at night recently. He is always on time, but today he did not go to the bridge on time. Misha and her sister were worried and went to his room to look for him. As a result, they couldn't even wake him up for a while. This guy!"

After Theresa finished speaking, she sighed again and continued: "Oh! I told you how I feel that there are fewer troublesome chores recently, but it turns out that you have quietly taken care of them."

"..."

The captain closed his eyes and silently took a bite of the food in the bowl, and then slowly said: "If you really want to say it, you, the principal, are about the same, right?"

"Ah I……"

"I don't feel like I'm the only one staying up late."

"..."

Teresa's face suddenly turned red after being told that. She had indeed been working late at night recently, looking for a way to treat Bronya, but it was not to the extent that the captain's health might have been affected.

"Anyway, anyway, captain! I order you to take leave tomorrow. If you have any physical problems, wouldn't all your work have to fall on me?"

Although it was an order from the head of the Far East Branch, the red-faced and panic-stricken Theresa made everyone feel less majestic and more like a child whose thoughts were seen through, which made people feel very cute.

"Theresa, I didn't..."

"Also! Don't do things for me secretly anymore!"

"..."

The captain who wanted to say something else was interrupted by Theresa who had expected it, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Hey, in that case, captain, will you go with me to see Bronya tomorrow?"

Kiana asked on a whim.

"Well, that's fine, that's what I have in mind."

"Okay, that's settled then."

Kiana gave a thumbs up to the captain, who nodded, but Fu Hua, who had been eating silently since the beginning, never took his eyes away from the captain.

After the meal, Mei went to the kitchen to wash the dishes as usual, and Kiana followed her, while the captain discussed recent events with Theresa and Himeko.

Fu Hua went back to her room and changed into pajamas and walked out of the room. She stood at the door and looked at the captain, hesitated for a while, and finally walked straight to him.

"Ahem, Captain, I have some questions to ask you. Can you come with me?"

"it is good."

The captain didn't ask any more questions, but immediately agreed. He nodded to the two of them, indicating that he would leave for a while, and then followed Fu Hua to her room.

Fu Hua closed the door and asked the captain to sit down first, and the captain sat at Fu Hua's usual desk.

Several books of different thicknesses were neatly placed on the desk. The captain glanced at it, and the title of one of the books caught his eye.

"This is…"

The captain took out the book, which was not very thick. The slightly childlike book cover was printed in golden font: "The Legend of the Dragon" in five large characters. You can tell just by looking at the title of the book that this should be It is a fantasy style novel.

"What's wrong? Could it be that the captain has also read this book?"

"Ah... I've read it before... I'm just a little curious that you would read this type of book."

"Qiana lent it to me. She likes this book very much. It's rare to see her reading. I asked out of curiosity, and she lent me this book."

"That's it."

"What do you think she thought of this book?"

"Hey?"

Seeing the subtle smile on Fu Hua's face, the captain seemed to have guessed something.

"She said that this book is really interesting. The image of the protagonist 'Z' is almost the same as yours, and even the way he talks is very similar."

"puff……"

When the captain heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He immediately opened the book in his hand and read it with interest.
