Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

However, as soon as the captain and Rita walked out of the store, they bumped into the two sisters Mia and Misha who were passing by. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Two pairs of big eyes looked directly at the captain, and Kazuo held his arm. A certain woman’s arm…

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The four of them looked at each other, but the street was still very lively with people coming and going. Rita calmly let go of the captain's hand, moved slightly to the side, and said with a smile: "Haha, isn't this Miss Misha? I didn't expect to meet you here."

"..."

Misha, who was usually aloof, was obviously unhappy now. She ignored Rita and just stared at the captain next to Rita with a fierce look.

"Uh…"

There seemed to be some murderous intent in those eyes, and the captain had a vague feeling that it couldn't be explained clearly in a few words.

"Hello, Mia, Misha."

"Ah...Hello, Captain."

Mia, who had never understood the situation, responded first. To be honest, she was also surprised that the captain was with a woman he had never seen before, and...it seemed a little too close. She looked at the beautiful woman next to the captain, then turned to look at her sister Misha. Even she, who was unaware of the situation, could feel the strange atmosphere between Misha and Rita.

"Um, who is this next to the captain?"

"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced it to Mia yet, but this is the Valkyrie sent by the headquarters to the Far East Branch to perform tasks: Rita Rossweisse."

"Hoo?" Before the captain could finish speaking, Misha interrupted him with a disapproving tone: "Performing a mission, right? It's really hard. Please tell me, captain, what mission requires two people to hold hands and stick to each other? Come out of the clothing store together?"

"...I entrusted Rita with me to purchase employee supplies."

"Supplies?"

Misha's indigo eyes quickly turned around on the bags in the hands of the captain and Rita. Judging from the visible parts, they were indeed the items marked on yesterday's supply list, and there was even herself in them. Mark what you want.

"Is that so..." Misha's eyes suddenly softened a lot, and her expression and tone returned to their original somewhat cold mode.

"But wouldn't it be better to leave these things to the purchaser and life manager?"

"They are also on vacation today. If they resume work, they may not be able to catch up with other people's needs, so I made a trip by myself."

"..." Misha didn't make a sound, but her lips were slightly open, and her silver hair covered her eyes, making it unclear what her emotions were.

For a moment, the captain saw the slightly curved corners of Misha's mouth, a smile that suited her very well. But the captain did not dare to miss this opportunity, and continued to add: "After all, Rita helped me a lot today. As a reward, I picked out a new dress with her, and if I walked around in a maid uniform like this, it would inevitably attract people. A lot of people’s eyes on you, right, Rita?”

"Yes, that is indeed the case. Please don't misunderstand Miss Misha."

"No, I just thought the captain was forcing innocent headquarters staff to work as coolies for him. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Rita."

"No, thank you for your concern."

Rita bowed slightly, Misha stopped asking questions, and the captain finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back, from the day he met Misha shortly after he took office in the Far East Branch, Misha has always had some... "prejudice" against him? Usually, the number of times Misha actively communicates with him is not much compared to her two sisters, and compared to others, when getting along with him, he can more intuitively feel the indifference to him in Misha's character. Feel.

What's worse is that one time the captain went to Misha's room to look for her. Before his hand even touched the doorbell, Misha flew up from the side and kicked him out. Although she blushed and apologized sincerely afterwards, and the captain did not blame her, but when asked the reason, he never got any valuable answer.

Did you do something wrong? The captain was thinking for a while. When he came back to his senses, Rita was already chatting happily with Mia Misha. The three of them chatted very harmoniously. The captain had to sigh. Tower's ability in this regard. And whenever he sees Rita like this, the captain always thinks of his old friend who is no longer here.

"Ragnar..."

"Huh? Captain, what did you just say?"

"It's nothing, Rita."

The captain smiled and shook his head. After a brief discussion, the four of them decided to go back to the academy together. By the time the captain and Rita put the big and small bags in Hyperion's management office, it was already afternoon. After saying goodbye to sisters Mia, the captain and Rita went back to the room to rest for a while. Nagaya took the opportunity to hand Rita her room ID card. The plan was to give her a room in the academy, but Rita insisted on living on the ship, so the captain naturally had no choice but to comply.

I don’t know where it came from, but Rita suddenly brought the captain a cup of fragrant black tea. The captain took a sip. Although the source was unknown, the taste was as good as ever.

"How does it taste? Captain."

"I'm more curious about where you got it from."

"Haha." Rita smiled, "This is the maid's secret~"

The captain did not ask any more questions, but took another sip from the delicate white tea cup. After finishing the drink, he turned around and said, "Thank you, Rita."

"It's good if you like it."

"Your room is just one floor below the office. You should be familiar with the structure of the Destiny Battleship."

"Please rest assured, Captain."

"Then I'll go out for a while, and you can have a good rest. Bronya should be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and I have to go and help her with the procedures in advance."

"Okay, please be careful on the road."

The captain stood up and walked towards the door of the office. When he was about to walk out, he turned back and looked at Rita who was packing the tea sets behind him.

"Huh? Did you forget something? Captain."

The captain shook his head, "Thank you for your hard work today, Rita."

The other party did not speak, but smiled softly, and the captain returned her smile. Then he turned around and left the office, disembarked and walked to the hospital.
