Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

The captain returned to the living room. Everyone was already sitting around the dining table full of food. Theresa's little head poked out from behind the sofa: "Hey, Captain, we are a rare visitor."

Theresa patted the seat next to her and motioned for the captain to sit next to her, and the captain walked over to her and sat on the soft sofa.

"Hey, you actually came to the Valkyrie dormitory while I was away, ah! Could it be that you are finally going to attack my lovely students!?"

"..."

The captain shook his head helplessly: "Principal, what are you talking about?"

"Hehe, it's just a joke. If the captain wants to come to the dormitory, he can come and play at any time."

Theresa laughed, her young and cute face filled with a happy smile. She patted the captain next to her on the shoulder, but the captain felt a pain in his shoulder, as if he had been hit by bricks flying from nowhere.

Theresa seemed to notice, coughing twice, and then rubbed the area that she had accidentally used too much when patting the captain.

Himeko, who was sitting on the other side of Theresa, grabbed Theresa's small body and came closer: "To be honest, if he is such an outstanding and popular man as the captain, he wants to kidnap everyone in the academy. It should be easy for those little girls, right? Are you right? Captain, grown-up? Gulu~Gulu~"

Jizi drank all the wine in the can as she spoke, and then quickly opened another can of beer before anyone else could react.

"Major Jizi, did you drink a little too much?"

The captain reminded him, but Jizi looked disapproving: "No way, I just drank a little."

Jizi said as she picked up the can and opened her mouth to drink again, but Theresa snatched the can from her hand and pushed her away from her.

"The children are still here. If you drink any more, you'll smell like alcohol again. I don't care about you. Captain, you should talk more about her!"

"Only if she can listen."

"Indeed." Bronya, who was sitting opposite the captain, agreed.

"Yes, indeed." Fu Hua, who was sitting next to Bronya, also nodded.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah? Uh... indeed." Kiana, who was still eating like crazy, was not listening at all, but she repeated the same sentence.

"Uh, you guys..." Seeing that everyone was unanimous in their opinions, Jizi finally stopped drinking. She honestly took a sip of the delicious soup in the bowl, and then picked up the bowl and chopsticks.

After a while, Meiyi came over from the kitchen with freshly made fish soup. She carefully placed the fish soup in the middle of the table, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, everyone has been waiting for a long time."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mei, please sit down quickly."

The captain stood up and took out a small chair from under the table and placed it next to Mei Yi. Mei Yi moved and adjusted the position of the chair and sat down: "What do you think of the taste? It's rare to have the captain as a guest, so I couldn't help it. I just did a little more..."

She said this as she looked at a table almost full of dishes. However, there is no doubt about Mei Yi’s craftsmanship. Everyone just responded to Mei Yi with a gentle smile to express their praise, except...

"Mei! That fish...that fish...smells so good, but the fish is so troublesome to eat..." Kiana is now in the midst of a major choice in life: eat! Still don’t eat it!

"Hey, Kiana, you've been eating since the beginning, and you haven't stopped."

Jizi complained, and Kiana's ears suddenly turned red: "There's no such thing! I just ate a little!"

"You call this...eh? It seems a bit familiar?"

Someone said the same thing just a few minutes ago during an argument about drinking.

When Himeko realized something was wrong, everyone except Mei couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was true that teachers and students were united.

However, Mei was quite confident this time. She took Kiana's bowl and scooped a large piece of fish into the bowl for her. Kiana looked at the fish in the bowl and finally couldn't help but cautiously take her mouth.

"Huh?" Kiana felt something was wrong and took another careful bite.

"..." After taking a few bites, Kiana took a deep breath, and then ate the large piece of fish in just one bite. This scene frightened everyone so much that Teresa quickly put down her chopsticks to stop her: "Hey, stupid niece! That's not what fish eats! Be careful with the sting..."

Before Theresa finished speaking, Kiana had already swallowed all the fish in her mouth, and even took a sip of the soup without haste.

"Phew~ delicious!!!!!!!!"

"??????" Theresa couldn't react for a moment. Could it be that this silly niece has evolved into a type that is not afraid of bone spurs? Or…

Teresa doubtfully picked up a piece of fish and ate it, but she could only feel the softness and deliciousness of the fish in her mouth, and there were not even one bone spur that was usually troublesome to eat.

"Surprise... no thorns?"

Seeing this, the other people picked up their chopsticks to try it out, and then their expressions became the same as Theresa's.

"This taste is even softer than usual...is that so? The cultivation technique can still be used like this."

Fu Hua nodded and turned his gaze to Mei Yi: "Student Mei Yi, did you do this?"

"No, it was the captain who helped me."

"Oh?"

Everyone's attention then focused on the captain. The captain raised his head, looked around the table and said calmly: "It's just a little clever, don't worry about it."

However, everyone did not look away, they were still staring at him...

"..." The captain could see that everyone's eyes, especially Kiana's eyes, revealed the following sentence: "I want to eat this kind of food again."

"Mei, it seems you have to practice harder." The captain added, and everyone looked away and started eating lively again.
