Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

himeko shouted from outside.

Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out and hugged her waist.

"Lin Yu?!"

himeko recognized Lin Yu at a glance.

At this moment, Lin Yu's entire body was blackened by cooking fumes, making him look like a piece of charcoal.

"What are you doing? Lin Yu, what's going on?"

She held Lin Yu, who almost fell to the ground, and asked.

"It finally came out..."

Lin Yu opened his eyes, smiled, and his white teeth stood out against his dark skin.

himeko still didn't understand what had happened.

She even wondered if a Honkai Beast had broken into her house.

But thinking about it, that's impossible; this is a military region.

Even if a Honkai Beast appears, it's impossible for the outside world to be completely calm.

Moreover... how could a Honkai Beast possibly emit such a smell?

Thinking this, Himeko couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose again; she simply couldn't stand the smell.

Immediately afterwards, another figure emerged.

The person was also dressed entirely in black, but Himeko recognized him instantly based on his experience dealing with Mebius many times.

"Mé... Mébius? You're... cooking?!"

himeko stared at Mebius in disbelief, and for a moment, she even forgot to cover her mouth and nose.

The unbearable smell flooded her nose again, irritating her sense of smell and almost causing her to faint on the spot.

himeko was absolutely certain that the stench that made people almost faint came from the hands of the woman in front of him, who had been blackened by the smoke.

"This is……"

himeko stared in shock at the dark, unidentifiable food on the plate.

She didn't know if this could even be called food.

Lin Yu regained his senses, stood up from Himeko, and explained, "Himeko-nee, this is the first dish Mebius has ever made. Try it, don't waste her hard work."

"I...I'll go wash up first!"

After saying that, Lin Yu slipped into the bathroom as if his feet were greased.

himeko shook his head helplessly as he watched Lin Yu's disappearing figure: "That kid..."

“Mebius, you…”

She turned to look at Mebius, unsure of what to say for a moment.

When Lin Yu came out of the bathroom after washing up, Himeko and Mebius were already sitting at the dining table in the living room.

In the center of the table was the "scrambled eggs with tomatoes" dish that Möbius had made.

"Lin Yu, come and try it! Himeko said it tastes pretty good."

Mebius looked at Lin Yu with anticipation.

Before anyone knew it, Mebius had already cleaned himself up, even faster than Lin Yu.

"..."

Lin Yu was completely stunned, frozen in place as if petrified.

"What's wrong? Lin Yu, are you afraid to eat it? I tasted it and it's... alright..."

himeko looked at Lin Yu with a half-smile playing on her lips.

"If you hadn't paused at that last moment, I would have believed you."

Lin Yu put on a stern face and went to the dining table. He knew he had to pay for the sins he had committed.

He glanced at Mebius's expectant eyes, which were yearning for him to try it.

At this moment, he felt regret, even nine-tenths of it.

He shouldn't have said he was hungry at that time, let Möbius go into the kitchen, trusted Möbius's wisdom, let Möbius try, and appeared in this place.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

He finally understood what despair felt like.

He didn't want to disappoint Möbius, and it wasn't that he was afraid the dish was poisoned, but...

His only fear was that the taste would be unpalatable; he didn't care if the food looked ugly, he would just close his eyes and swallow it.

The taste was the only thing that could make him feel uncomfortable and in pain.

Alas, the wind howls and the Yi River is cold; the brave warrior departs, never to return.

Lin Yu looked tragic, as if he were heading to the execution ground.

He took the chopsticks from Mebius, and under the watchful eyes of the two women, he picked up a dark-colored piece of food, closed his eyes, held his breath, and put it in his mouth.

"Ok?"

"..."

"This smell..."

Lin Yu began to wonder if he had eaten the wrong thing.

It tastes alright, but it's a bit too salty.

"Well……"

He picked up another piece and tasted it; it wasn't as bad as it looked.

"Mebius, not bad at all."

He praised her with some surprise.

"Really?"

Mebius's eyes lit up with delight.

"Of course, why would I lie to you? Didn't you see I was eating the whole time?"

As he spoke, Lin Yu didn't forget to add another piece to his mouth; he could even tell whether he was eating an egg or a tomato.

They're all black, so it's impossible to tell them apart.

"Hmm... it's just such a shame that it doesn't look good..."

Lin Yu said with some regret.

However, he felt that something was amiss.

When Möbius was first made, it had a very foul smell, extremely unpleasant.

But now I can't smell it at all. Could it be because it's been sitting for too long and the smell has dissipated?

Lin Yu was a little confused.

"Then I'll cook for you often from now on, how about it? Or how about I make you a loving lunch?"

"puff!"

Mebius's words caused Lin Yu, who was drinking water, to suddenly spit it out.

"Hahaha……"

Himeko, who was lighting a cigarette nearby, burst into laughter.

"Hey Möbius, where did you learn the term 'love lunch' from?"

As soon as he asked the question, Lin Yu remembered what Klein had told him during the day.

It's said that Möbius was obsessed with romance comics, so he probably learned it from those...

Sigh, these pure love comics are really harmful!

If he finds out which comic it is, he'll burn them all on the spot!

"Hey, Mebius, listen to me. I usually prefer pork chop rice, so there's no need to prepare it for me. It's a waste of time."

Lin Yu carefully considered his words before explaining.

"Pork chop rice? Well, wait until I learn how to make it, then I'll make you a loving lunch!"

Mebius suddenly became full of fighting spirit, which made Lin Yu's scalp tingle.

"Ha ha……"

himeko looked at the two of them and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

Lin Yu noticed Himeko's expression. Himeko seemed to be smiling a lot today. Was something making her happy?

He wanted to ask a question and take the opportunity to change the subject, but Himeko spoke first: "Alright, it's getting late. You've made a mess of the kitchen. Let's go out for a meal today."

"It can only be the."

Lin Yu nodded quickly. Just thinking about the pitch-black kitchen gave him a headache; he'd be the one cleaning it up when he got back.

He has been starving since he returned at noon. For a patient, missing a meal is a very serious matter.

If anything goes wrong, it's all Mebius's fault.

That's what Lin Yu thought, but he didn't say it out loud, for fear of provoking Mebius.

Lin Yu and the others had just left.

Meanwhile, a food delivery driver arrived at the military region to deliver food.

"What?"

The guard at the entrance of the military area stared at the food delivery guy in front of him and questioned him.

"I...I'm here to deliver food..."
