Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"Captain, you seem to be in a good mood?"

The maid opposite asked softly after seeing the captain finish his meal. To be honest, she liked to quietly watch the captain's meal, especially when the captain enjoyed the dishes she cooked.

"That's probably because Rita's dinner is delicious."

"Haha, it's good if the captain likes it."

"Well, speaking of..." The captain seemed to have thought of something and changed the topic: "Rita, you are going back tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, Captain." Rita nodded.

"This inspection of the Far East Branch has been completed. Rita should leave to return to the headquarters tomorrow morning."

Speaking of this, Rita's delicate face showed a hint of sadness: "It feels like it's still not enough."

"what?"

"Time with the captain by my side."

"..."

I felt that the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. Rita, who was still a little worried just now, suddenly smiled charmingly at the captain. The captain, who had already guessed what she was going to say, also smiled back at her.

"It's getting late. Since you have to return tomorrow, go and rest early. I will also see you off tomorrow."

"As you command, Captain."

With that said, Rita stood up and neatly cleared away the plates on the table. As usual, when she walked to the door, she turned around and bowed slightly before leaving.

"Huh...Okay, I should also..."

Before he finished speaking, the cell phone on the captain's desk buzzed. The captain picked it up and saw that it was a call from Theresa.

"What's wrong, Teresa?"

"Um…"

"Ok?"

Theresa did not reply immediately, as if she was hesitating something, but that hesitation immediately disappeared from the girl's words.

"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you."

"Did Kiana cause trouble for you again?"

"Hey, how do you know?"

"I felt like this when I saw her hesitating in the chat group."

"This silly niece really doesn't give me any peace of mind. I was quite happy at first because I passed the exam this time. Then she was even happier than me and said she wanted to help me. But first she graded Bronya's paper wrong. , and then brought a fan over to blow me some air, blowing the report I had finally put together all over the room!"

"Pfft... That's really Kiana's style. But Kiana loves to toss so much, why didn't you hear her voice? Aren't you and Kiana together?"

"I saw that my silly niece looked a little unhappy. I just asked her if she felt uncomfortable. She said her head was just a little buzzing."

"Is it dizziness?"

"Well, I guess she didn't have a break during the exam in the past two days, so I asked her to go to the next room to rest. I'll call her after I finish working."

Although her tone was very calm, Theresa must still be concerned about her niece's health, so she called to tell her this.

"It's okay, Theresa. Didn't Kiana jump around for a long time after the exam today? But you dragged her to the office again. I think she is tired from all the hard work."

"Haha, that's true. This silly niece's grades have finally improved a bit. It seems that Jizi's tutoring results are pretty good."

"Uh…"

Although she simply threw it all to Fu Hua...of course she couldn't say this.

"Okay, Captain, I still have some work to do, so I won't talk about it for now."

"It's been a while now, don't tire yourself, go back to the dormitory and rest early."

"Hey, don't worry, I'll hang up now. Thank you, Captain."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

The call was hung up, and the captain looked at the steaming scented tea on the table and pondered for a few seconds. If the situation was the same as yesterday, then Kiana's situation might be more complicated than imagined.

Of course, that's just if.

The captain knew that his conversation with Teresa was being listened to by an acquaintance nearby. And because of this, he needs Theresa's help to elicit this so-called "if".

"Kiana... Let's go see her tomorrow."

The captain deliberately said in a worried tone, and in the room one floor below Hyperion, through the electronic control function of the specialized hunting armor: "Hunter Armor Shadow Iron", the captain and Theresa The conversation between them was clearly heard by Rita.

K423 is an important object assigned to her by the bishop to monitor. No matter what abnormality occurs in the monitored object, no matter how big or small, it must be observed and reported as soon as possible.

However, Rita only installed micro observation equipment and signal transmitters in the Valkyrie dormitory. The security around the teaching building, especially the floor where the principal's office is located, has always been very comprehensive. In order not to alert others, Rita did not take it into consideration. Moreover, even if she was prepared, no one would think of the empty room near the principal's office. Plant some space.

"Looks like I have to make one more trip before finishing, haha~"

Determined to confirm the situation, Rita left Hyperion without a sound after confirming that the captain had rested. The surveillance in the ship's passage was naturally controlled by the special function of "Shadow Iron" and would never stay. Take a picture of her passing by.

Relying on her outstanding strength, in just a minute or two, Rita had moved from Hyperion's helipad to St. Freya's teaching building. She carefully passed by Theresa's office and sneaked in quietly. Entered the lounge where Kiana was.

There was no main light in the house, only the porch light was turned on, and the light seemed a bit dim, but Rita saw her target at a glance: Kiana, who was lying on the sofa and resting quietly.
