Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

Even with Amber's calmness, she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment when she heard the words "consumption" and "experimental product".

"what!"

Otto was in a bad mood when he heard the news.

"That piece of shit consumed so many of our resources, sacrificed so many Valkyries, and yet the experiment made no progress at all. And yet he still has the nerve to urge me on? Hahaha, this is really... hilarious, isn't it?"

Otto vented his dissatisfaction with a sneer, while Amber said nothing, waiting for new instructions.

"Promise him, Amber."

Otto's voice was calm. He had invested too much resources and effort in the experiment of the Serenity Gem, and he didn't want to give up just like that.

"Yes."

Amber took the order and prepared to leave.

"in addition……"

Just as she was about to move, the voice behind her made her stop again. It seemed that the bishop had new instructions.

"I remember that Dr. Maki's granddaughter...seems to have also become a Valkyrie?"

Otto asked Amber with a malicious smile on his face.

"Yes, Bishop. Her name is Lin, and she is now a B-rank Valkyrie."

Amber retrieved the information and answered truthfully.

"Really, that would be great."

Otto's smile became more malicious, and he raised one hand and raised it gently.

"Send her to me, I will train her myself."

"Yes."

Amber accepted the order and waited for a few seconds to make sure that Bishop Otto had no new orders before turning around and leaving again.

He seemed to be oblivious to the gentle voice behind him, which sounded like the whisper of a devil.

"Hehehe..."

"I'd like to see..."

"When your dear granddaughter appears on your test bench..."

"Dear Dr. Maki..."

"Can you be as calm and yet as anxious as you are now?"

“Hehehe…it’s funny just thinking about it…”

"Dear Dr. Maki..."

"Please don't let me down~"

Chapter 75: Looking forward to the next reunion

Early in the morning, Anna saw the freshly released "Volunteer Recruitment Notice" on her communicator. Its writing style, wording, layout, and the requirements for "A-level Valkyries" were exactly the same as the one she had seen before, with only the release time changed.

This familiar notice made Anna feel very uneasy. She rushed out of the room without even washing up. With a sense of urgency that "it's too late to make it back", she slammed Captain Jier's door open and shouted,

"No, don't go!"

The voice was quite urgent, not at all like the usual gentle voice, as if he was afraid that even a second later would mean the difference between life and death.

Captain Jier had gotten up early and was standing by the window, basking in the morning light, intently pruning and arranging flowers. She shuddered at Anna's sudden start.

"...What's wrong?"

Jier looked at the flower buds that were cut off by his shaking hands with a smile and tears, and put down the tools in his hands helplessly, and gently pushed the remaining flowers into the sunlight. Then he turned around and looked at Anna with a helpless expression. She looked anxious.

"Where do you want me to go?"

"Uh……"

Anna looked at the captain's casual outfit of shorts and a helpless expression as if his leisure and elegance had been disturbed. She immediately calmed down and felt that she was too impulsive. She greeted him awkwardly.

"Ahahaha...um...Captain, good morning..."

"Well, good morning, Vice Captain Anna."

Jie Er replied indifferently.

Recently, due to the activeness of Yulan Dale, the rest of the Valkyrie troops have been much more idle. Captain Jier is also happy to live such a leisurely life and enjoy the ordinary beauty of life. Unfortunately, her mood was disturbed by a reckless guy early in the morning.

"What a hard life..."

Jie Er sighed in his heart and beckoned Anna to come in from the door.

"Who needs such a big fuss to greet someone? Tell me, what's the rush?... Close the door."

Anna closed the door awkwardly and walked in. Seeing the captain acting normal, she wanted to slap herself in the face. Why were you so impulsive?

But it has already happened, and there is no point in regretting it. Anna had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell her purpose.

"Captain, that notice... didn't you see it?"

I thought to myself that it would be best if the captain didn’t see it, so I could persuade the captain to give up this idea before that.

But Captain Jier's reaction made Anna feel a chill in her heart.

"Well, I see it."

After her last trip to the orphanage with the captain, Anna felt relieved; but on the other hand, she was frightened by the captain's dangerous mentality, which could even be described as "desire for death", and she was afraid that she would do something dangerous.

Seeing the captain's calm and frank smile, Anna couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Captain, you...didn't do anything...right?"

Captain, please be calm, I'm scared!

Captain Jier looked at Anna's anxious expression, unable to help but laugh, and consoled her.

"Okay, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I won't go."

Anna's eyes lit up, but she was a little worried that she was deceiving herself, so she hesitated and asked,

"……real?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

Captain Jier was at a loss for words, and was somewhat moved by Anna's reckless yet sincere concern and care. However, he said in a serious tone,

"There are only you and me, the two A-rank Valkyries in the team. Even if I wanted to leave... Vice Captain Anna, you're being so clumsy right now... Hehe, I'm afraid the Snow Lotus Team's reputation will fall into your hands!"

Anna smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly, humbly accepting the captain's criticism.

Although her criticism was harsh, Anna was relieved. After all, who would want to lose someone close to them if they could?

"You..."

Jie Er smiled helplessly.

Although the actual age difference between the two is not that big, and both are A-level Valkyries, Anna always has a mixture of innocent enthusiasm and persistence.

Of course, she is still a bit naive and reckless, which may be due to her shallow experience.

"Just practice more and it will be fine." Jier thought.

Anna's vitality, deep-rooted kindness, and unyielding spirit are all things she likes and values ​​very much.

"Captain, I just heard some noise coming from your room. Is something wrong? ...Ah, the deputy captain is here too!"

The door opened again, and a sleepy-eyed Valkyrie team member peeked in and asked. When she saw Anna was there, she couldn't help but wake up with a start.

"Are these two going to quarrel again?"

She couldn't help muttering in her heart, hesitating whether she should go in and persuade him or leave.

"Early in the morning, one by one..."

Jie Er shook his head and laughed helplessly, then made up an excuse.

"It's okay, I'm fine... I just accidentally bumped into something while arranging flowers."

"Ah? Oh..."

The Valkyrie team members looked at the intact vase on the windowsill in confusion, feeling that things should not be like this; then they saw the flower bud placed alone next to the vase, and it seemed as if it was really the case.

After looking at the two captains in the room, he found that the atmosphere in the room was indeed not tense, so he stopped thinking about it, closed the door and left.

"Then...if it's alright, I'll leave too..."

Anna also tiptoed towards the door. Now that the matter was settled, she wanted to slip away.

"Wait a minute!"

Captain Jier didn't intend to let her go, and pointed to the windowsill.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Since you're here, help me trim the flowers."

After saying that, without waiting for Anna’s reply, he walked straight into the bathroom and started washing up, leaving only the sound of running water.

Anna obediently walked to the windowsill, picked up the scissors, and began to carefully trim the bouquet of flowers full of vitality.

Even though its buds have not yet bloomed, it is still easy to recognize that it is a bunch of narcissus lilies, with emerald green branches and leaves, and it is gorgeous.

However, the stem of one of the flowers was bare and its bud had been cut off, and it was now lying pitifully beside the vase.

Anna, the culprit, blushed slightly, then carefully trimmed off the broken parts and tidied it up a little to make it beautiful and coordinated again.

"Yeah, well done."

After a moment, Captain Jier came back to Anna's side and looked at her work with satisfaction. Then he smiled and said,

"Okay, I'll give it to you."

Anna was slightly stunned when she heard this. This gift was a bit unexpected.

"Don't look so surprised, Anna."

Jier smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed at the vibrant leaves, and asked softly,

"I remember that the Shaniat family crest is a lily, right?"

"um, yes."

Anna nodded, then looked troubled and hesitated about her words.

"But... this is a daffodil lily..."

She was worried that the captain had confused the two flowers, but she didn't want to ruin the captain's good intentions and embarrass her.

"I know, Anna. Here, you are Vice Captain Anna of the Snow Lotus Squad, not a member of the Shaniat Family. This bouquet of flowers is just a blessing from me, the captain, to my team members."

Jie Er smiled and dispelled her concerns.

"'Looking forward to the future', 'looking forward to reunion', this flower language suits you very well, doesn't it?"

Anna was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed and she became a little anxious.

"I'm not... I didn't... Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing her embarrassed look, Jier couldn't help but burst into laughter. His laughter was crisp and hearty, just as clear and capable as her sky-blue short hair.

Anna became increasingly embarrassed.

Jie Er laughed for a long time, and only after he had laughed enough did he say,

"Okay, take it. It's just a blessing, nothing else."

It's not that she doesn't notice some things, but if the other party doesn't want to talk about it, then she won't ask.

"Family, friends, comrades... that can all be included, right?"

"...Thank you, Captain."

Although Anna's face was still a little red, she had no choice but to accept the kindness and picked up the bouquet to leave.

When she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something, turned back and asked seriously,

"Captain, can I invite my friends here?"

For some people, it is indeed time to meet again.
