Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"So Inspector Rita, how do you want to arrange your schedule for the next few days?"

The captain asked casually, and Rita replied seriously: "Of course, just go with the captain."

"Huh? Are you going to keep following me like this?"

The captain turned around and saw the beautiful woman in front of him shaking her head slightly.

"No, Rita doesn't want to follow, but she wants to be your personal maid and serve you in the next few days."

"Why? Inspection work?"

"This inspection only needs to be carried out during the Valkyrie exam. I think the captain will also go to watch then, right?"

"..."

The captain said no more and continued to move forward. He knew that even if he explicitly refused, Rita would only agree superficially, and then appear in front of him at various "coincidental" times and "coincidental" places in a "coincidental" way, and then she would unknowingly appear in front of him again. Feeling like a peer. In this case, it is better to let her stay within his sight to avoid any unexpected situation happening.

So, the captain walked in the passage inside the ship, and with the captain's acquiescence, Rita quietly followed him as a maid, ready to be called upon at any time.

Since the captain has granted leave to Hyperion's staff, there should be very few people left on the ship except Gnaku who is parking the transport ship and Milly who is working on the bridge.

The captain and Rita walked to his office one after another. Just as he was about to open the door, he bumped into a familiar person.

"Hello, Captain." His tone was as cold as ever.

"Misha?"

With a slightly petite body, long silver hair, indigo eyes, and an expressionless white face, this girl who usually treats others with aloofness is the youngest member of Milly and Mia's family. That is, the sister they both share: "Misha Ariasena".

"Are you going on vacation now?" The captain looked at what Misha was wearing. She was wearing a light blue dress with a cute beige bag hanging on it. She was obviously going to go shopping outside.

"Well, I helped Sister Milly handle some work. Now that it's over, I'm going to meet Sister Mia."

"Milly should be happy to have such a good sister like you. I get it, so just relax and be careful on the road."

"Thank you, Captain, um..." Misha seemed to want to say something, but didn't know how to say it. She looked at the elegant woman wearing a maid uniform behind the captain. After hesitating for a few seconds, she still couldn't bear it. The host asked: "Ship, Captain... who is this beautiful lady behind you?"

There was a hint of shyness in his tone, and his cheeks, which usually did not express emotions through expressions, now had a blush that the captain had never seen before.

Just as the captain was about to introduce him, Rita took the initiative to take a step forward and gently saluted Misha, who was much shorter than her. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I saw you talking to the captain, so I didn't dare." disturb."

After Rita saluted, she straightened up and continued: "This is Rita Rossweisse. She is a Valkyrie sent by the Destiny Headquarters to the Far East Branch to perform tasks. Well... she is also the captain's maid these days. , please take good care of me."

"There's absolutely no need to add the last sentence."

"Huh??" The last sentence made Misha feel that something was wrong, no, something was very wrong! Maid? A maid? And it belongs to the Captain? Why did the Valkyrie sent by the headquarters to perform the mission become the captain's maid? No matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right...

"Ah...um...hello, my name is Misha Ariasena, the auxiliary operator in charge of the bridge."

"It turns out that this beautiful lady works together with the captain. She must be a very good person."

"Where...Miss Rita is, she just looks very beautiful."

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Misha."

Facing this gentle and elegant maid, Misha, who had always been cold and cold, felt a little at a loss, as if she was being led by her.

"Um, Captain, may I ask what the accompanying maid is?"

The moment Rita saw Misha questioning the captain, she had already read through the thoughts of the little sister in front of her.

What a cute child! She thought silently in her heart.

The captain sighed and said slowly: "As the captain, I am only responsible for traveling with the inspector sent by the headquarters for a few days. Don't worry about it."

"Is this so..."

"Yes, it is like that."

Although he didn’t know what Misha was thinking, the captain always felt that Misha’s focus was a bit strange. Could it be that he was more sensitive to Rita? But that's not surprising.

After receiving the captain's brief explanation, Misha still seemed a little confused, but she didn't ask any further, just bowed and left in a hurry.

After watching Misha walk around the corner, the captain opened the door and took Rita into the office. After the door was closed, a small head quietly poked out from the corner of the passage, and the indigo hair on the top of the head also curled up.

Is that woman... really just traveling with the captain? Such doubts arose in Misha's mind. She sighed, then turned and left the corner.

In the office, the captain signaled Rita to please go to bed and then sat on the office chair. He looked at the daily report that was handed over to his desk every day. As usual, there was nothing unusual that deserved attention.

"A purchase list of some daily necessities for the ship's staff?"

The captain picked up a list next to him, which was filled with miscellaneous labels for daily necessities. Basically, the daily necessities for the employees on the Hyperion ship can be entrusted to specialized personnel to purchase and deliver them. Of course, you can also choose to buy them yourself. But it happens that these orders were delivered yesterday afternoon. Most of the staff, including purchasers and life managers, went on vacation today. If they return to work at the same time, I am afraid some people will be eager to use them. Purchasers and It is also difficult for administrators to meet everyone's needs on the same day.

"Sure enough, would it be better for me to go there?" the captain said casually, but immediately got a reply from a maid behind him: "If you need, Rita can go and purchase the items marked on the list. .”

"No, you are a guest, so you don't have to run errands."

The captain refused, but Rita walked up to the captain with a smile, pointed at the list and said: "Captain, most of the items on the list are for girls, such as these cosmetics and trinkets, you Can one person really buy it all?"

"..."

The captain remained silent. It was rare for Rita to see a side of the captain that he was not good at. Cosmetics are indeed an insurmountable mountain for a man like the captain~

She continued to explain while the iron was hot: "How about you and I go shopping together? This way Rita doesn't count as running errands, right?"

"Probably a lot."

"In terms of strength, compared with the captain, I think Rita is stronger as a Valkyrie~"

"...If that's the case, it's up to you."

Seeing that he couldn't resist, the captain had no choice but to agree. After the captain finished clearing the report sheets on the table, he took Rita and set off towards the commercial street of Canghai City.
