Captain Just Wants to Go Home and Play Games

As the saying went, where there was mutual affection, things naturally clicked at once.

Fu Hua: This was the perfect chance for me, Schicksal's two-faced girl, to infiltrate the enemy's headquarters!

"Mo Yi, you're finally back."

Mo Yi walked along with Fu Hua, chatting and laughing. Naturally, they were exchanging commercial compliments—for instance, praising Fu Hua's martial arts as truly formidable. Especially that final strike: if it had been used in reality, it could probably kill an Emperor-class Honkai Beast in one blow. It was the sort of fantastical nonsense about punching open a path between life and death.

Mo Yi's words made Fu Hua feel embarrassed. He was exaggerating far too much. If she hadn't known better, she would have thought he was describing scenes and characters from a novel, like the Honkai Firmament she had read, where two supreme beings would casually battle beyond the Imperial Pass until they went mad and even the Great Dao was ground away.

"I don't deserve such praise..."

With her humble nature, Fu Hua could only repeatedly cup her fists in thanks, displaying the modesty of her people. If the one being praised had been Kiana, she definitely would have put her hands on her hips and accepted the ridiculous compliments with an expression that said, "Moonlight is invincible."

"You flatter me—"

"Classmate Mo Yi, you fought very well too. The strategies you employed during battle truly struck straight at the heart..."

Amid their mutual flattery, the atmosphere between them was naturally quite pleasant. A few minutes later, however, they spotted a Kiana at an intersection.

"Kiana, didn't you go home?"

Normally, they went home together after school. But Mo Yi had gone to the wilderness to wait for Fu Hua today, so he had told everyone else to leave first.
