Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

The next day, after the routine report in the morning, the captain left the bridge and came to the deck where Hyperion had been washed away by rain in the middle of the night.

The air is particularly fresh today, and the gentle breeze blowing from the lake is very pleasant.

The captain stretched out and took a casual walk on the edge of the deck. The remaining rainwater on the deck had not yet been completely drained. There were still a few pieces floating on the thin pool of water at the captain's feet that had been blown by the strong wind last night. The fallen leaves, the young man's figure reflected in the water.

Last night, when the captain signed his name on the last report, except for the duty room, only his room on the ship was still lit. Then, it started raining heavily outside the window.

Big raindrops kept beating against the windows of the room with the howling wind, making a pitter-patter sound. In the distance, skylight flashed from time to time, followed closely by the thunder carried by the wind.

Countless raindrops fell from the sky on the surface of St. Freya's lake, followed by countless splashes of water. Everything was silent, only the sound of raindrops, thunder and wind roar lingered in the captain's ears.

Although you can choose to completely isolate external noise except for the patter of raindrops hitting the window, but for the captain, he prefers to listen to such sounds quietly.

"call……"

The young man standing on the deck held the guardrail with both hands and breathed a sigh of relief. He closed his eyes and fully felt the scent of earth and plants in the air. At the same time, he let the cool breeze take away all the pressure on his body. .

Until the end of the boy's sight, the sky was blue. The clear blue lake reflected the blue sky and complemented it, just like another blue sky. It was even difficult to tell which side was the real sky.

Soon, a girl in a white uniform came to the deck timidly. After the routine report, she received an order from the captain to meet him on the deck of the ship later.

"Ahem... Captain, here I come."

The girl stood behind the captain. Although her tone was the same as usual, a little cold, she looked very serious.

"Huh...how do you feel?"

The captain turned around and asked the girl behind him.

"Eh? Ah... the wind is very comfortable and the air is very fresh."

Misha's cheeks turned red. The captain suddenly asked, so she had no choice but to honestly state her feelings first.

"Right? I feel the same way, and my body feels a lot lighter all of a sudden."

With that said, the captain pulled the girl in front of him to the guardrail. The stunning view of water and sky in front of him, no matter how many times he saw it, Misha felt that it was indeed very calming and refreshing.

Indeed, just standing here, I feel that my stress and bad mood are taken away by the breeze beside me.

Although he wanted to say this, Misha couldn't calm down at all at the moment, and his heart was beating loudly, as if it would jump out of his body in the next second.

Even though his face was as calm as usual, the captain still keenly felt Misha's pulse speeding up, so he let go of her wrist and signaled her not to be too nervous.

Misha blushed and did not dare to look at the captain, so she could only pretend to look at the lake in the distance.

In fact, Misha was so nervous not only because the captain had just grabbed her wrist, but she also knew very well why the captain suddenly called her over. She had been in this state almost all the time when making a routine report in the morning.

"Captain...you want to ask about the photo, right?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

"…Um?"

"When I just reported, I felt that Xiao Misha's spirit has been very tense, and her walking movements were a bit unnatural, so I thought of taking you to the deck to relax. That state is not suitable for you."

"..."

After hearing these words, Misha fell silent. She lowered her head, and the bunch of standing silver hair on top of her head swayed back and forth with the wind.

Although the weather was so refreshing and the wind was cool, she felt very hot. Her face and ears felt hot, and the temperature continued to rise.

He looked completely...unable to calm down.

At this moment, Misha was having a huge struggle in her heart: What to do? Should I say it or not? What will happen if you say it? Would the captain think she was a pervert if he knew she was collecting photos of him? Will she be dismissed directly? Do you never want to see her again? Will I be disliked by the captain? Want to lie? But it’s impossible for the captain to be deceived, right? Is there any other method?

"What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do, what to do, what to do, what to do, what to do, what to do!!!!!!!!!!"

"Xiao Misha, are you okay?"

"Me! I...I am in good health! Please don't worry!!"

"Ah...ok."

The girl closed her eyes tightly, and even answered such a simple question incorrectly.

Seeing that the girl looked so flustered, the captain became cautious when speaking, for fear of saying something wrong that would make her more emotional.

Originally, the captain had no intention of forcing her to question her. To be honest... he usually felt that someone was secretly filming him, and there were countless people who he discovered but didn't point out.

I thought that only the students in the academy would do this, and if it wasn't too much, he would basically acquiesce, but he didn't expect that Misa would be involved...

"Ship, Captain...I...that..."

"Ok?"

The captain lowered his voice very softly, and this gentle voice also made Misha feel a little relaxed in his tense heart.

"That, I, those photos are...are..."

The girl turned around and faced the captain. She didn't dare to raise her head, and her two little hands were tightly grasping the hem of her short skirt.

"You don't have to force yourself to say what you don't want to say. Just tell me when you want to tell me."

"…Eh???"

The breeze carried gentle words and blew past the girl's ears, and her long silver hair fluttered in the wind. The girl opened her eyes wide and stared at the boy in front of her through the sight that was slightly covered by the flying hair.

Could it be that the Captain just chose to say this because he didn't want to embarrass himself, didn't want to force himself, and wanted to give himself face?

No, it's not...

His eyes and tone were so gentle, as usual, so eye-catching and reassuring...

At that moment, the girl realized that he did not say this out of superficial reasons, but because of "trust."

In that gentle gaze, there was unshakable "trust" in himself from beginning to end. He believed in himself and believed that the things he did were not out of malice. Even if he couldn't talk about it and had no excuse, his "trust" in himself had not changed at all.

It's just such a simple and simple reason...

So, unconsciously, just in a trance, affected by that gaze, the girl forgot her rapidly accelerating heartbeat, the reason for her frown, and the sense of distance she had deliberately created for a long time... She Shaking her cherry-colored thin lips slightly, she gently revealed her heart to the young man in front of her...

"Captain...I...you, always...happy you..."

When Misha realized his gaffe, the words that should not have been spoken at this moment were already spoken...

For a short moment, her eyes widened, and her indigo eyes shook violently. She felt suffocated, and there was only a wave of dizziness in her head, and even her vision became blurred.
