Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

"It seems like you're taking care of me more now."

himeko picked at his curry rice and said with his head down.

"Really? You're overthinking it. I'm the one being taken care of. Because of you, I feel happy every moment of my life."

Lin Yu was puzzled by Himeko's words. He thought, "I don't have to do anything here. I don't have to go to school. I can even be so bored that I learn to cook. I don't have to spend money to buy things or take public transportation. Many people greet me even though I don't know them."

In a world in chaos, even in a military district of a former civilization, Lin Yu can do nothing. Himeko actually feels that she is taking care of her more.

Lin Yu reached out and touched Himeko's head. It wasn't hot. "You don't have a fever. Why are you saying such strange things? Are you drunk?"

No way, no way, no way, it's impossible for someone to get drunk from just one bottle of wheat juice, right? Didn't you used to drink wheat juice like water?

Is my period starting?

himeko: ".......Give me a little trouble, otherwise it feels a bit unreal."

For a child your age to be so well-behaved for a whole month, as if they haven't gone through puberty at all, it feels so unreal to me.

He also cleans my house, does housework, cooks for me, and even washes my clothes. He doesn't post flaunting comments online when he's not busy, and he doesn't chase girls or get into fights.

Even if it's Hua, whom you once rescued, you still frequently check on her to see if she's doing well, chat with her, and worry that she might not be comfortable living there.

Compared to Lin Yu, he himself, who was ostensibly the Commander-in-Chief of the Australian and Chinese Armed Forces, seemed more like a child.

When I get home, my shoes are scattered everywhere, my socks are strewn about, and I just lie on the sofa waiting for my meal. I won't get up until the wheat juice is brought to my lips.

himeko even wondered if there was something wrong with Lin Yu's gender; she was definitely a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Are you going to cause some trouble? At least cause me some trouble, otherwise I really won't feel at ease living this life.

Lin Yu: "Eh? To cause you trouble? How can that be? You're already busy enough with your work every day. Didn't you say that the workload of mental laborers can't be measured by time? Besides, you come back exhausted every day. You want me to cause you trouble... Um, did I do something to upset you?"

Oh my god, did I do something wrong to upset you? Are you being sarcastic? I've been pampered with good food and drink by you, and you let me do whatever I want. If I make you angry, you just throw me out. All I have are a few million, and I'm not even an adult yet, I don't even have an ID card.

I've been thrown out by you and I don't even know where to go. I have no friends or relatives, and I have to start everything from scratch. Why should I put up with this?

"If I did something wrong, I apologize."

Lin Yu bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry if you feel I've disturbed your life."

himeko: "!!! Ah, no, I wasn't being sarcastic. I meant, well, kids your age should be more active..."

Children your age should be more active, rather than spending all their time locked at home cleaning, cooking, and doing chores.

"Ah, is that so?"

Lin Yu scratched his head awkwardly.

It seems that having a brain that works too fast is also a problem.

Lin Yu dislikes a messy house, both in his past life and this one, so whenever Himeko messes up the living room, he cleans it up and puts things away neatly.

Doing that gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

"So you don't have any hobbies?"

himeko tentatively asked, "What kind of active hobbies?"

To be honest, before Lin Yu was brought here, Himeko's house was a mess. She would only have her orderly clean it up and put things in their proper places once a week.

She loves a clean house, but she's lazy and thinks cleaning is a waste of time.

“I used to love practicing swordsmanship. My father said that the sword is a weapon of death, and the one who wields the sword will surely stand at the top of the mountain. Later, I stopped practicing.”

himeko: "So why not continue?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "Compared to practicing swordsmanship alone, I prefer to engage in actual combat. Only in this way can I know my own strength. If I just practice fake moves all the time, I won't feel a sense of accomplishment."

Chapter 45 Now you have one more wish

himeko stared into Lin Yu's eyes for a long time.

"Your eyes are beautiful."

Lin Yu touched the corner of his eye. He didn't think his eyes were particularly beautiful. Perhaps it was because he was used to them, but they seemed similar to other people's. Nevertheless, he thanked him.

"Thank you, my eyes were given to me by my mother."

"She is such a good person."

She is such a good person.

At this moment, Himeko felt that his teacher's wife was truly amazing, for giving birth to Lin Yu and working hard to raise him, for making him live so that he could meet him.

Lin Yu said he wanted to fight, and a typical otaku might think about saving the world, but based on what Himeko knew about Lin Yu over the past month, Lin Yu was definitely not the kind of person who liked fighting.

He said he wanted to fight, maybe it was just because he was the commander of the military region that he said that, wanting to help me a little, or to get closer to me, worried that I would abandon him...

himeko finished her meal, leaving no leftovers. "I always believe that time has a flavor. When you smell a familiar scent or hear a familiar song, it always reminds you of a certain day in the past, as if you have returned to that past, whether it was beautiful or sad."

"So, does my curry beef rice remind you of the taste of home?"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. "I just learned. Do you think I have such a good talent for cooking?"

himeko shook his head. "Maybe it will be a few years before I feel the taste of home when I eat your curry beef rice again."

Lin Yu: ".......Okay, then I'll learn a different dish tomorrow night."

Does that mean I need to train for a few more years? Hmmmmmm.

Lin Yu picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth. It tasted pretty good. Was it because his taste was different from Himeko's?

And Himeko just mentioned music, right? Speaking of which, I haven't practiced the piano in a long time. Should I pick up my love for music again and practice some more?

Although the music from the previous civilization was quite good, the music from the previous life wasn't bad either.

Lin Yu doesn't know many songs, and they're mostly pop songs.

Lin Yu was eating when Himeko sat beside him watching him. According to her usual routine, Himeko should have gone straight to her room to rest after finishing her meal.

But Himeko didn't return to her room today, and Lin Yu asked her curiously, "Is there anything else you need to do?"

himeko pointed to the plate, "I'll help you wash the plates and pots."

"Leave this kind of thing to me, isn't that how it's always been?"

"Wasn't it always like this?" Lin Yu's innocent words touched Himeko's heart. Himeko shook her head, "It won't be like this anymore. I'll help you."

"You're busy, just leave the small things to me. I can't do big things, but I can still help you with small things."

You've been so good to me, and now you want to take away my right to wash the dishes? You wouldn't happen to want to sleep with me, would you?

Lin Yu's heart was pounding, and he ate faster.

"Because you are so well-behaved, I want to grant you one wish. I'll give you a minute to think about it."

himeko smiled and patted Lin Yu's head. This kid is so well-behaved, so obedient, so amazing. If he were ten years younger, he definitely wouldn't let him off the hook.

It's a pity the age gap is too big. They're supposed to be of the same generation, but they're actually thirteen years apart. They could be considered elders. I don't know who will benefit from this in the future, but it's definitely not Mei.

"Can you buy me some musical instruments? I want to learn music."

My love for music was in my past life, so this is like rekindling my musical dream.

himeko: "........"

Lin Yu's question, "Want to learn some music?" silenced Himeko. She had just said that time has a flavor; smelling a familiar scent or hearing a familiar song can always remind one of a certain day in the past.

Now Lin Yu tells himself that he wants to practice music.

“I remember you’ve never learned a musical instrument before, and you’re not particularly interested in music.”

I don't follow celebrities or go to concerts. The only concert I've ever attended had tickets given to me by someone else.

Lin Yu: "Suddenly I feel that learning a little music might be a good idea."

I was a music genius in my past life. I could sing all kinds of love songs and pop music, and I could also play the piano. Many light music composers would immediately come to mind as soon as they played the piano, memories buried deep in my memory.

himeko nodded. "So he really did learn music for me!"

himeko scooped up Lin Yu, who had just finished eating, and carried him from the sofa opposite her to the sofa where she was sitting. She rested her chin on Lin Yu's forehead and gently stroked his back.

"Now you have one more wish."

Lin Yu panicked. Why did you suddenly hug me? Wait, you don't really want to sleep with me, do you?

Although I don't think it's a big deal, I'm not an adult yet. Sister, are you going to break the law?

Lin Yu swallowed hard, didn't struggle, and still had one more wish?

Didn't you say you could grant me one wish? After I told you my wish, why did you say there was another one? Does that mean my wish doesn't meet your expectations?

I once read online that a father in his twenties bought his one-year-old son an extremely expensive game console because his son "wanted" to play it.

Himeko is now much like that father who helps his son fulfill his wishes. If a wish doesn't meet his expectations, he'll just add another. Helping himself fulfill his wishes is just an excuse; in reality, she wants to do what she wants.

Lin Yu was held tightly in Himeko's arms, his arms curled up, powerless to resist. Of course, he probably wouldn't be able to resist anyway, and Lin Yu didn't intend to resist.

Who would resist being hugged by a super beautiful, big-breasted older sister who looks exactly like Himeko?

Lin Yu, who was secretly hoping that Himeko would take things further, tentatively asked, "Um... Himeko-nee, what wish do you want me to make?"

Just tell me what you want me to wish for. It doesn't matter what your excuse is. Just say you want an airplane, and I'll accept it.

himeko: "...What your wish is, you don't need to ask my opinion."

Do you still need to ask for my opinion now?

The image of him cautiously nestled in his arms, tentatively asking what wish he wanted him to make, is just too much, isn't it?

Do you have to consider other people's opinions even for your own wishes? What kind of life did you live all those years? Wishes and dreams are just innocent fantasies of children. You don't even dare to fantasize, and you have to ask me so cautiously.

himeko regretted listening to his teacher's wife and not finding Lin Yu sooner. No wonder Lin Yu was deceived by a girl like Mei. Even this morning, Lin Yu was hoping that he could help find Mei.

Chapter 46 Definitely next time

Lin Yu: "......."

Lin Yu lowered his head in thought, but how am I supposed to know what you want if you don't tell me? Hmm... could it really be what I'm thinking? You want to sleep with me but are too shy to take the initiative because of a girl's modesty?

"Himeko-nee, you want to sleep with me, right?"

Lin Yu spoke frankly, and this dawdling made him feel that even if they talked all night, they might not get anything out of each other.
