Honkai Impact 3rd: I picked up a Seele at the start of the game.

……

After that, Seele led the way, taking Yun Fuyu to her small camp. Whether Seele did it on purpose or not, they walked in circles all afternoon and were already very close to her camp.

Despite being called a campsite, it was actually just a flat area in a corner, with nearby broken reinforced concrete piled up to form a "wall" that required drilling to get in.

Seele was petite and easily crawled inside. But Yun Fuyu was an adult, at least 1.8 meters tall, and a runner. Crawling through the hole, she still managed to scratch her arm—a completely undeserved misfortune.

Fortunately, the wound wasn't big. After rinsing it with a little water, it clotted in just three to five minutes, which even Yun Fuyu didn't expect to happen so quickly.

Could it be that time travel also enhanced my physical abilities?

He had this suspicion and kept it in mind.

Afterwards, Seele helped him clear out a section of floorboards. A pile of old clothes served as a mattress. In the summer, blankets weren't really needed, so two pieces of clothing were sewn together to make a thin blanket a little over a meter long. The smell wasn't pleasant, but at least it wasn't the burning stench of outside.

Yun Fuyu sat on the ground and looked up to see Xier standing on tiptoe taking out a needle and thread from a hanging toolbox. Then, wearing Yun Fuyu's big coat, she turned her back to him and slowly wriggled as if she was taking off her clothes, probably preparing to sew up the dress that would reveal a little bit of her girlish charm.

Seele's words confirmed his guess. She said, "I'll mend my clothes, you can sleep in your coat. Although Mu Continent spans the tropics, the temperature here at night isn't very high."

Yun Fuyu casually remarked, "Xi'er can even sew, that's amazing. But actually, I can do a little too, I especially like using a paperclip."

Seele glanced back at him. The boy was sitting against the wall, looking away from Seele, his head tilted to the side.

Seele: "What a coincidence! Seele also likes using paperclips because they're easier to learn. When we were in the orphanage, my mom always used paperclips to mend everyone's clothes."

"...It is indeed a coincidence."

Seele continued sewing diligently. After a while, she suddenly heard movement behind her, her body immediately tensed, and she cautiously turned around to look.

Yun Fuyu moved a small stone slab and placed it beside his "pillow." This way, he couldn't see Xier.

He said, "Xier, I'm going to sleep now. Wake me up anytime if anything happens."

After saying that, he lay down, and soon his breathing became even and long. Even if he wasn't asleep, he was at least resting with his eyes closed, completely absorbed in his work.

This time, Seele felt much more at ease. She wiped away the tiny drop of blood that had flowed from the prick on her knuckle and continued mending her clothes.

It needs to be loose, and it needs to cover a large area. Although Yun Fuyu didn't say it, his gaze couldn't help but drift over whenever Xi'er took off her coat...

But who can say it's his fault? Xi'er knew her own appearance and physique, and the fact that Yun Fuyu had offered her his coat was enough to prove his feelings—"Does it look good?" "Yes." "Do you want to see?" "Yes." "Do you want to see?" "No."

Everyone's goal is to survive; everything else can be put aside.

After the clothes were mended, Seele breathed a sigh of relief, put on the clothes, carefully stood up, put the tools back in their place, and then looked at the boy on the floor again.

He must be asleep.

Seele closed her eyes, and suddenly, she felt incredibly calm.

……

……

But it seems that this peace was shattered in the next moment.

Seele felt her wrists being gripped tightly, making it difficult for her to move. She opened her eyes in terror—

The stars shimmered before my eyes.

A dreamlike sea of ​​stars forms the world, and a pale purple halo creates a romantic atmosphere. Beneath your feet lies what feels like a shallow pool, the swaying reflections adding to the breathtaking beauty.

Shooting stars occasionally streak across the night sky, and now and then, fragments of stars drift down. A ray with a pure white, streamlined body glides gracefully over the stardust, appearing abruptly from the void before vanishing without a trace.

Yun Fuyu stood in front of her, his hands tightly gripping her wrists.

But he didn't seem to be conscious. His eyes were closed, his breathing was natural, and starlight slowly descended, merging into his and Seele's bodies.

Seele tried to struggle again, but it was clearly useless. At this moment, Yun Fuyu was like a statue, completely unshakeable. As the starlight drifted into her body, Seele felt waves of comfort, even… a little full?

She was clearly very hungry before falling asleep, but now she felt incredibly full. It wasn't an uncomfortable feeling of fullness, but rather an overwhelming sense of contentment that was intoxicating.

And so, they remained in that position for an unknown amount of time.

Out of sheer boredom, Xi'er suddenly became interested in observing Yun Fuyu closely. He was by no means unattractive; in fact, against the backdrop of dazzling starlight, he appeared exceptionally refined. He carried only the faint scent of clean clothes, which was quite pleasant compared to the ruins of the disaster area. The boy's peaceful, closed-eye posture at that moment made Xi'er's heart flutter a little.

We've only just met...

The starlight gradually dimmed, the halo gradually brightened, the shallow pool of water beneath their feet gradually dried up, and then, everything suddenly collapsed and merged into Yun Fuyu's body.

Seele was no exception.

The next moment, she woke up.

Seele felt someone poking her hand and immediately woke up from her sleep. She quickly shrank into a corner and looked at the person who had come.

Yun Fuyu looked at Xier in a daze as she quickly protected herself. Meeting Xier's wary eyes, she immediately raised her hands to prove her innocence: "Xier, I saw that you hadn't woken up, I just poked your palm."

The lingering sensation in her palm was proof that he wasn't lying. But what happened last night was too bizarre; Seele was still curled up in the corner, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.

Yun Fuyu was very anxious. He was truly innocent! Besides, in this dire situation, where even survival was difficult, he had no other thoughts on his mind!

After a while, Xi'er came to her senses and looked at Yun Fuyu's surrender gesture with his hands raised. She said helplessly, "Well, Xi'er was just spacing out for a bit. You don't have to keep doing that."

"what……"

Yun Fuyu, seizing the opportunity, said, "So, Seele actually believes me?"

Although the question seemed a bit off, Seele nodded anyway: "...Mm."

Afterwards, Xi'er got up and helped Yun Fuyu wash up with the only clean water they had. Then she said worriedly, "This means I have no water left."

Yun Fuyu couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Although she had made grand promises to take Xier away from the ruins, she had actually been relying on Xier all along...

He gritted his teeth and said, "I understand."

This time, no matter what it takes, he must find resources and survive with Seele!
