The Captain Just Wants to Go Home and Play Games

You swore last night, with ironclad resolve, that you wouldn't step foot in my room even if you died. How did things "smell so good" so quickly?!

Houraisan Kaguya's hair...

Kaguya, who was inexplicably angry, took a deep breath to calm herself. She immediately used her abilities to sever the connection between her world and the outside, researching a way to "crawl through the internet." That's when she saw the Delivery Girl Kiana, holding a lunchbox, through Mo Yi's vision.

Then she froze. She paused time with her abilities, rummaged through her messy bed for her modified phone, and scrolled through dozens of game icons until she found "Honkai Impact 3rd." She opened the game and, after repeated comparisons, confirmed it was Kiana Kaslana, White Comet, a character she'd only used for one day on her free trial.

Even though translating anime characters into reality might lead to some discrepancies, Kaguya was brimming with confidence in her judgment and observation skills. She had played every game and possessed incredible observational prowess.

So, Mo Yi's world was a Honkai world. She just didn't know which installment or if it was a related spin-off.

Regardless, Kaguya, who had been grinding Honkai Impact 3rd and constantly polishing decks, found something very interesting.

If all the regrets in the game could now become reality...

Not a single Valkyrie on this princess's ship can be missing!

Since Grasshopper has appeared, will Duck be far behind?

That's right, Kaguya's favorite character was Bronya, the "three-noes" girl whose personality was the complete opposite of her cute appearance.

After confirming that Mo Yi's white-haired girl was indeed Kiana, Kaguya withdrew her ability and continued to watch the living Grasshopper.

Then she heard Kiana call herself "Sonic Kiana," which solidified her suspicions.

"Cough, cough—"

If I can't stop it, I'll just go with the flow. I, Mo Yi, have nothing to hide. I'm upright and honorable. What's there to be ashamed of?

Kaguya isn't my girlfriend, so what am I afraid of?

Thinking this, Mo Yi stopped panicking. The situation was what it was, so he said to Kaguya, "Her Highness the Princess, I'm going to eat first. Let's play together after I'm done."

"Alright, go ahead—"

Then, Mo Yi noticed Kaguya had returned to her usual spring breeze smile, though her gaze was a bit strange. To be precise, it was a mixture of excitement and a restless, mischievous glint.

Whatever bad ideas she was hatching, he'd deal with them when they came.

Mo Yi ended the video call and looked at Kiana, sighing, "Kiana, didn't you promise me last night that you wouldn't enter my room without permission?"

"Did I?"

Kiana recalled carefully and realized she had indeed said that. Her expression turned a little embarrassed, and she chuckled, "Well, I just came to deliver your lunch, so don't worry about such trivial things."

"Guys who focus on details can't find girlfriends!"

Mo Yi: "..."

So this was his fault?

Looking at Kiana's sly expression, what could Mo Yi do? Could he really hit her?

Then the two of them walked to the living room table, each with a lunchbox, and started eating.

However, the main reason Mo Yi wasn't angry was that she remembered him and specifically brought him a lunchbox.

Looking at the opened lunchbox, Mo Yi felt something was off!

Takeout usually consisted of one or two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. But the lunchbox in front of him had seven or eight different dishes, each in small portions, and they were arranged haphazardly.

With a guess forming in his mind, Mo Yi looked at Kiana's opened lunchbox and saw it was the same as his.

After two seconds of silence, Mo Yi quipped:

"Kiana, these two lunchboxes... you didn't just pick out bits and pieces from other takeout orders, did you?"

"Haha—"

Caught in her secret, Kiana turned her face away sheepishly and mumbled, "I haven't eaten these before, and I'm really good at this. No one will find out."

"If it wasn't discovered, it didn't happen!"

Mo Yi: "..."

Is this really about whether it was discovered? Why can you be so righteous about it!

Mo Yi didn't know how to respond for a moment, only thinking that poverty makes people resourceful, poverty makes people capable of anything.

In the end, Mo Yi picked up his chopsticks and enjoyed Kiana's kindness. Since it was already done, he couldn't take it back. Throwing it away would be a waste of food.

He considered himself a highly principled young man who would never waste food.

As for the hygiene issue, Mo Yi could withstand Honkai Energy, so would eating takeout really give him a stomachache?

After a few bites, Mo Yi couldn't help but exclaim that this kind of mixed-dish meal was actually quite delicious.

"So good—"

"Hehe—"

Seeing Mo Yi enjoying his meal, Kiana said slyly:

"I'm a loyal friend, right? I thought of you first when I had something good."

Mo Yi: "..."

In a way, Kiana was indeed loyal. If only she applied that loyalty in other aspects.

Houraisan Kaguya's hair

After realizing that Mo Yi's world was likely a Honkai world, Kaguya picked up her phone, recalling her memories of playing Honkai Impact 3rd before, and began to ponder how to approach the "real-life version." As she thought, she let out an eerie "hehe" chuckle in her room, startling her servant, the moon rabbit Reisen, who had come to call her for a meal.

There was no need to say it; Her Highness the Princess was undoubtedly thinking about or doing something strange again.

If she went in now, she might be captured by Kaguya and subjected to all sorts of torment, like being forced to wear bizarre outfits for the Princess to take pictures of.

Reisen had plenty of experience with such things.

After finishing the guide, Houraisan Kaguya remembered something else and loudly called out, "Reisen, are you there?!"

Hearing the Princess's call, Reisen, despite her fear, simply entered Kaguya's room with the food.

While organizing her cloud drive resources and searching for fan-made manga featuring herself as the protagonist, Kaguya casually asked Reisen, who was beside her, "Reisen, when you go out and about, buying medicine, have you ever encountered a blonde girl performing puppet shows in the Human Village?"

"Mhm, mhm—"

Although Reisen was curious why the Princess, who had been a shut-in for hundreds of years and rarely left her room, was asking about the outside world, she still answered honestly.
