Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

In the ward of St. Freya Affiliated Hospital, after nearly two hours of quiet waiting, the old friend finally brought news to the captain who had been waiting by his side.

When Fu Hua opened her eyes again, she turned her head to meet the captain's concerned gaze. The captain did not speak in a hurry, but just stared at her, giving her time to collect her thoughts and adjust "Yu Du Chen".

But Fu Hua did read a hint of worry in the captain's calm gaze. He must have hoped that he would bring back good news.

So Fu Hua pretended to be serious and said: "Bronya..."

"how is she?"

After carefully listening to his old friend's tone, the captain couldn't help but frown slightly. He seemed to have prepared for the worse. I'm afraid he was already thinking about the next step.

And this reaction was exactly what Fu Hua wanted to see. After all, this was just a small impromptu prank.

"Haha, she said that casually entering other people's consciousness is not a commendable behavior."

"...?"

Seeing that his old friend didn't react, Fu Hua added: "Don't worry, Bronya will not be in danger for the time being."

After hearing these words, the captain finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyebrows suddenly relaxed, but he also immediately realized something.

"Is your tone intentional?"

"Ahem, what do you mean?"

"..."

Seeing Fu Hua's too obvious expression of pretending to be stupid, the captain didn't ask any more questions because he was very happy now.

Bronya's condition has been relieved, which is good news for everyone at St. Freya, and more importantly, Fu Hua successfully obtained valuable chip data for Theresa. time.

So, the captain stood up and waved his hand to lift the space barrier covering the door and window of the ward, and the intermittent chirping of birds immediately came from the window again.

The captain walked to the window and looked at the shimmering lake outside St. Freya School in the distance. Then he turned around and looked at the person behind him with a very relaxed look that no one had seen for a while. An old friend said: "Thank you, Fu Hua, for your hard work."

The breeze outside the window gently shook the young man's short black hair. Under the refreshing bangs, his gentle eyes revealed a little peace of mind.

"Twig..."

"Actually...you haven't felt relaxed during this period of time, right?"

Starting from the "Fourth Herrscher Incident" in New Zealand, the events encountered since then have become increasingly complex and difficult, and almost everything requires a lot of energy to deal with.

After escaping from "ME Club", Academy Principal Theresa has been busy looking for a way to treat Bronya, so the handling of academy affairs has mostly fallen into his hands with the captain's intentional sharing.

But Fu Hua also understood that what can really occupy the heart of the person in front of him is not the complicated work, but...

"Ah, you too."

While replying softly, Fu Hua stood up and looked at the old friend in front of him without saying a word.

I discuss the treatment plan for Bronya with Theresa and the doctors every day, and share Theresa’s work. For this reason, I often work until late at night...

I have been working hard for Miss Wendy's stay and for her to stand up and enjoy life again as an ordinary girl...

In addition, he also practices swordsmanship with Mei and Major Himeko every day. Mei also becomes more and more determined thanks to his help...

Even myself, like a child making trouble, deliberately avoided him, causing him a lot of trouble.

And these are only the parts that I have seen.

"Because your gentle eyes can always look at everyone around you, everyone is willing to be around you and look at you..."

……

"But, I can't seem to take my eyes away from you... Is it just because I'm there too?"

Suddenly, Fu Hua's thoughts came to a standstill. She didn't know the answer to this question. When she thought of these, many scenes flashed through her mind.

She couldn't tell where those scenes came from, but without exception, he was everywhere in those memories that were as hard to put together as fragments.

"..."

He wanted to say something to break the silent atmosphere, but no sound came out of his mouth. Only the heartbeat that was faster than usual kept coming from his chest, making it difficult for Fu Hua to calm down.

"What's wrong with me?"

Fu Hua asked herself in her heart. This was not the first time she had felt like this. It was like ripples suddenly appearing on the calm water. Whenever she quietly stared at the person in front of her like this, she could clearly feel it. Changes in the heartbeat.

This "taste" is not pleasant to her, because she doesn't know how to taste it, nor how to explain the origin of this "taste".

However, while she was struggling with how to deal with this emotion, she also felt that this feeling was very nostalgic, as if she had had the same experience a long time ago...

In the end, Fu Hua decided to say something to change the atmosphere, but just when she was about to speak to her old friend, she was stunned...

She saw bursts of purple light glowing on her old friend's collar. At the same time, outside the ward window, as if bypassing the captain to convey some signal to her, a bright petal half-covered by frost floated quietly from behind the young man. Passed by and immediately disappeared from Fu Hua's sight.

At this time of year, there are no such bright flowers blooming in the garden near the hospital, and the frost, if not intentional, would not happen to appear on the petals.

So she immediately understood that that moment had arrived.
