Shinra’s public database does have everything: from how to fry an egg to how to preserve concentrated uranium bombs; down to basic literacy textbooks for young children, up to the unfathomable. Professional writing that apologizes with death... But only, it is very scarce when it comes to women.For example, Vivian couldn't search for a decent dress for the New Year's Ball.

If you can't find it, you can only toss around and spread your hands.So late baaah, sigh.

Luckily, the result was quite impressive—Vivian, who was late, pushed open the door of the venue with trepidation, her black hair was scattered on her shoulders, and the other hairpins in her bangs looked very elegant.She was standing at the door in high heels that she wasn't used to, showing a shy smile amidst the sideways glances of everyone, rubbing her skirt with her hands like a panicked harmless little animal, her big dark blue eyes flickering for no reason. Lovely.

All the bachelor nerds present immediately exploded - Nima, when did our company have such a cute soft girl! ?Please hook up, please associate, please [beep beep——]! ! !

The mechanical smile on her face was about to freeze, and Vivian felt in panic that the naked eyes of a group of wretched men wanted to goug her out.

——Woo, these guys are so frightening, how can I handle it without Phoenix?Senior where are you! ?

Eagerly squeezed towards the crowded place, and when he saw someone trying to strike up a conversation, he hugged his head and avoided it. With great difficulty, Vivian stood in the middle of the hall and searched around, but finally found a smiling Wen Center Valentine.

Vivian was half happy and half annoyed and ran away. As a matter of course, he twisted his foot, swayed his body and lost his balance, and threw himself on the bright and clean floor to extend his most sincere New Year wishes——

The nerve center of the cerebral cortex did not form the expected pain, because a pair of slender and warm hands firmly held her arms and helped her stand upright.Vincent nodded her forehead, dumbfounded, and said, "Don't run around if you're not used to high heels, you girl is really worrying...why do I help you every time?" Swallowed and wanted to add "Takes is almost doomed without you", the last day of this year should be spent without any regrets.

"Hmph, senior, you really..." Not daring to let her sprained foot fall to the ground, Vivian hilariously maintained the independent posture of a golden rooster, holding her chest arrogantly, trying to justify herself. "If I don't make people worry about me in the future, will you always help me in emergencies, senior?"

——Ah, what the hell am I talking about...

Vincent lost all response to the thunder, and his smile almost collapsed; Vivian covered his face in shame and anger, and kept hypnotizing himself, "Ahaha, it was just an illusion."After nearly 5 minutes in the cold, Vivian, who had done a good job in his heart, had his akimbo, and his aura was not in the slightest.She glanced angrily at Vincent (after returning to normal) with his hands in his pockets and started humming, and asked, "Hey, senior, why are you still in uniform?" , did he think she was easy to deceive?

"No, I changed my tie for the prom." Vincent proudly raised his right index finger and shook it, and picked out the tie from under his jacket—yes, it was a red one, so festive.

——Damn, are you cheating?

If this counts as a bad joke, Vivien (with unprovoked chills and bristling hair) thinks Vincent is the undisputed king of bad jokes in the FF series.

"Let's get down to business, Vivian, may I have the honor to ask you to dance with me?" Vincent slightly bowed his body so that his eyes were at the same level, and Vincent smiled modestly and made a gentleman gesture of "please".Vivian 囧囧 imitated the woman next to her with her skirt in return, not forgetting to complain in her heart, "What's wrong with this inexplicable European medieval court style", but his face was sincerely sorry: "Senior, I am very willing I danced with you, but you saw it just now, I sprained my ankle, so please forgive me for not being able to agree.”—and I dance as cowardly as a troll.Vivian added silently.

"It's a pity." Vincent said with a calm expression and a tone that didn't feel regretful at all. He still stretched out his hand to Vivian and slightly raised his fingers. "In this case, we might as well go sit on the outside terrace for a while."

——Ah, actually, senior, you also want to escape from such a noisy and flashy place, right?

Raising his hand and holding it firmly, Vivian limped out of the side door secretly with the help of Vincent.They found a bench and sat down on the bare terrace built in the style of a "hanging garden". The gaudy music from the ball was far away from them and could not be heard clearly.There is only a slight tremor when the breeze blows by, and it is so quiet that you can easily hear each other's heartbeat.

No one spoke to break the tranquility of this moment, but they didn't feel awkward; the two held hands loosely, Vivian's little hand was wrapped in Vincent's palm, the temperature was similar, and no one was concerned for a while. Willingness to let go.

The night was ambiguous and warm.

"Senior, look at that star!" Vivian suddenly exclaimed in surprise as if he had discovered a new species of chocobo, and raised his hand to point to the southeast corner of the sky.The sudden drop of his left hand made Vincent feel lost for a few seconds, and then he followed suit and looked up—it was a very beautiful star with a light red soft halo.Vivian stared at it for a while, then murmured in disappointment, "Oh, it's not as good as Senior Vincent's eyes after looking at it for a long time."

Vincent laughed.He saw the girl's eyes illuminated by the lights of the bustling city night scene, just like the brilliant star sea in mythology, it was truly amazingly beautiful.

Then there was silence again.Vivian raised her sprained right foot and rubbed her ankle in thought.

"I think, senior, if we are both single in the future, let's make a couple together." Vivian said half-jokingly, and hurriedly explained before the words landed, "Ah, of course this is a joke, senior is so outstanding. How can someone like me not find a good wife.” She kicked off her high heels, shook her legs, and stared blankly at the grand scene of Midgar’s New Year’s Eve.There are huge crowds of people on the street, everyone looks so happy and happy, maybe my father is messing around in the tavern, I don’t know if the gift sent to him today has been received.Will everyone have a happy ending?

Her proposal seems to be good... Vincent thought happily, and then he was startled by his sudden and strange cognition, and shivered.

"To be honest, senior—please listen to me, please—to be honest, I used to not know what I lived for, hehe, it sounds strange, right? Because I..." Because I was not this People in the world, it sounds like, feel that they are terribly hypocritical.Why did you come here? If you want to change something, why not go directly to the key person, press the strategy to save the world with Su, and play HE to everyone's satisfaction—unless it is a bug or worm loophole in the traversal system?Then you must complain to the consumer rights hotline (?) to avoid harming innocent girls again!

Vivian sniffed hard.Lonely and helpless like a lost white rabbit.

"Entering Shinra is my father's wish. And I, for the time being, just use 'looking at beautiful men' as the spiritual pillar to live a good life-uh, it's a bit tacky, right? All the efforts don't seem to be for myself, and I don't know the next step What should be the goal, I am very confused, I can't find anyone who can give me comfort, so I am also very helpless... Now, it is much better now, really, thanks to you, senior." Vivian narrated as if telling a story, The tone is relaxed and unwavering.She hugged her shoulders and huddled in a corner where the gorgeous lights of the city couldn't shine, shivering like the cold night wind.Vincent thoughtfully took off his coat and put it on for her.

"I'm not very good at comforting others..." Vincent complained to himself, and raised his voice, "Vivian Domino, you are you, everything you like and hate, isn't everything you are real The composition of life? So, don’t say anything like ‘I don’t know the meaning of life’, people who care about you, like your father, will be sad.” After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips, blushed and fell into silence.According to his personality, it is really not suitable for him to say some comforting words directly.

Vivian clutched Vincent's coat tightly to his chest, his deep and ethereal voice reached his ears far away, and his body temperature dispelled the coldness of the night wind.With her head buried in her clothes, and a faint unknown scent lingering in her nose, Vivian choked up a little. She said sullenly, "Thank you senior. Can you lend me a shoulder?"

—Maybe it's for you that my life has meaning.

The night was ambiguous and warm.

Vincent turned sideways in acquiescence, and the girl's hairy head snuggled up tentatively.Vivian's act of secretly wiping away tears with his sleeve was very childish, and Vincent slightly raised his head to show a smile.In the prosperous lights, billions of bright spots emerge from the blood-red depths, like the only light in the darkness.

"Senior, let's count down the tens of seconds together." Under the coat, he held Vincent's hand nonchalantly, and squeezed it boldly when he saw that he didn't respond. Vivian turned his head and said to Vincent with a soft expression , the surrounding light gradually disappeared as her words came out.Vincent didn't answer, but he said "ten, nine, eight..." in his mind to the girl's beat

three.All brightness fades away.Darkness enveloped the world, and even with faint starlight, the faces of people around us were still unclear.

two.She rubbed her cheek against his shoulder, and the cold tip of her nose felt clear to the warm skin through the cloth.

one.On the far-reaching pitch-black night in front of you, large and gorgeous fireworks suddenly bloomed, spinning and rising with vigorous beauty, reflecting the most peaceful grand scene.All kinds of bright colors shattered and exploded, scattered into dots of beautiful fireworks falling down like meteors.Vivian jumped off the bench very excitedly, and stood by the railing of the terrace wearing Vincent's suit jacket.In the smoky flames of the sky, the girl's long hair fluttered in the wind, and the ultramarine skirt fluttered like the petals of a mandala in full bloom.She quickly suppressed it.Sensing Vincent's focused gaze with some strange emotions, she tightened her coat and turned her face slightly, smiling beautifully amidst the flickering golden light.

Can't help but leave the bench and come to Vivian, Vincent stood with her, watching the fireworks ceremony intently. The "bang bang" explosion was too deafening, and Vivian could only stand on tiptoe if he wanted to say something, and tried his best to get close to Vincent's ear and shouted loudly: "Senior, Happy New Year!!!"

"Hey, you don't need to be so loud." Vincent covered his ears with a reproachful expression of "I really can't stand you", "Happy New Year, Vivian. Please keep smiling like this."

Vivian didn't hear clearly at first, so Vincent had to repeat it again, but he couldn't say the last wish that looked like a request.Leaving aside the obstacles that had been blocking her progress, Vivian seemed even more unscrupulous. She took Vincent's arm and said, "It's time for a big meal. Let's go back and grab a good seat, senior." Vincent nodded in agreement, dumbfounded, and there was a touch of doting that appeared at some point in his deep garnet red eyes.

Sneaking back through the side door, the men and women at the ball were still laughing amidst the singing and drinking, and no one noticed that the two Turks had been missing for a long time.It seemed that they had to wait for a while before the banquet began. Vivian and Vincent stood in the corner of the hall, holding their empty stomachs and sighing.Vivian suddenly pointed to the green decoration on the top of his head, and his words were full of disbelief: "Look, it turned out to be mistletoe."

——Didn’t Midgar keep everyone in the plant world from the Iron City at arm’s length?What's more, it would be too unnatural for a Christmas plant like mistletoe to appear here?

The circles of verdant plants bloomed with small pale yellow flowers and bear bright red fruits, and Vivian couldn't help but imagine some of its extended functions. (It seems that he must not understand) Vincent nodded and said: "Yes, it is not easy to find the company." Other than that, he said nothing.

——Sometimes simple and honest men who don't understand the style are so annoying!

Puffing out her cheeks depressedly, Vivian turned her head angrily, and shot an unhappy killing light at the wall.

The author has something to say: (Thanks to the adults who collected this Honkai work)

1. There is also a chapter on Nibelheim's daily life.Before that, there will be a split line episode.

2. In this chapter, Wei has revealed all his frustrations. In the future, his personality will develop into a happier, more unrestrained and unlimited (...) development.There is a subtle development in the relationship between the two, but it may be ignored due to the low EQ of the two.

3. The extended function of mistletoe is that you can’t refuse the kiss below, and you will be happy for a lifetime~

4. In addition, Wei is actually confessing in a disguised form, of course she didn't notice it—well, you adults should have noticed it.

PS: I want to write Uncle Wen’s gentle and comforting words, but I always feel that something is wrong, so don’t care if it violates the sense of harmony, hahaha~
