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

……

Don't let Xier's tough exterior fool you. With a little alcohol and sweet talk, she becomes as soft as a ball, sweet in taste but also easy to bully.

Yun Fuyu swore to the heavens that he had done nothing wrong; he was looking forward to a sweet and intimate moment after a grand ceremony, not a drunken, intoxicating affair. Fortunately, both he and the withered Xi'er shared this sentiment, which allowed them to tacitly end their night of pleasure.

But when Seele woke up the next morning rubbing her sleepy eyes, she clearly didn't think so, since they had ended up sleeping in the same bed.

Seele stared intently at the white socks in his hand, her gaze sending chills down his spine. Suddenly, Seele clasped her hands together in front of her chest, tilted her head, and smiled sweetly at him: "Dear Mr. Yun, could you please return Seele's socks?"

Reduplicated words are cute.

Yun Fuyu threw the sock back and shouted, "Xier, let me explain! I don't know how it got into my hands!"

Seele let the white socks fly away, still smiling as she asked, "Why did you throw away Seele's socks? Do you hate Seele's smell?"

Yun Fuyu broke out in a cold sweat: "No, I..."

Seele's eyes seemed to light up: "So you like this flavor?"

"No! I...!"

Seele seemed very sad: "So you hate Seele..."

"No, me??"

It seems that Yun Fuyu can only say these three words.

Seele chuckled, finally lowering her hands from her chest. The thin, light pink lining concealed her slightly rounded breasts, while her exposed arms, shoulders, and lower abdomen were fair and smooth, inspiring an urge to tear and destroy such beauty. (She was wearing an lining and leggings, with nothing exposed except her lower abdomen.)

She blushed slightly at the room's decor and asked Yun Fuyu, "Would you like to watch Xier get dressed?"

"...I'm going to wash up."

The clouds and rain have dispersed.

Seele breathed a sigh of relief, secretly blaming Seele in her heart, yet knowing that their thoughts were in sync. Even though their outward expressions differed, they could be seen as two different mindsets of Seele's—one gentler, the other more confident.

There's nothing wrong with it.

She calmed the ripples in her heart, picked up the white socks, and wrapped them around her small, delicate feet. She scratched her toes a few times, then picked up the other clothes on the bed and put them on: a white top and pleated skirt, a black belt, and a transparent jacket. Finally, she put the light red flower headdress into her handbag, blushing slightly as she looked at Yun Fuyu peeking out from the bathroom: "Let's go."

As a rather unconventional man, Yun's entire wardrobe consisted of a shirt, trousers, and underwear, with the occasional jacket. Therefore, he woke up fully dressed, which reassured Xi'er somewhat… and left her with a tiny bit of regret? Who knows?

They left the hotel.

In short, although the logic is confusing, to outsiders it seems that Seele and Yun Fuyu have "reconciled".

(Actually, it was another Seele who couldn't stand their nagging anymore and took the initiative to attack, but was killed instead. Seele was dragged into the mess, but because she was too shy, she didn't dare to say it outright.)

This could also be seen as Seele being bold once in a while, but ultimately she was still afraid.

In short, although the logic is confusing, to outsiders it seems that Seele and Yun Fuyu have "reconciled".

So it's understandable that the two of them went to the social gathering hand in hand today.

Large screens at several corners played Mei's speech at the social gathering. The purple-haired girl in the video had glasses that gleamed coldly, but when she smiled, a warmth dispelled the tension in everyone's hearts.

She explained the original intention of holding the social gathering and her expectations for everyone. After briefly introducing the planned activities, she concluded by saying that she did not want to gather everyone for another speech and waste everyone's time, so she had to resort to this method. She thanked everyone who read to the end and wished everyone a good time.

Xi'er and Yun Fuyu watched the short film with their heads up. Yun Fuyu couldn't help but sigh, "I used to think Mei was heartless, but later I gradually discovered her remarkable humanity, which is rare in this era."

Xier:?

Seele didn't quite understand his meaning; lacking knowledge of the future, she didn't know what would happen. She only listened to Yun Fuyu's words… In this era on the verge of collapse, would the Honkai side ultimately triumph over the human side? And what, as a human, did he truly desire?

After a moment of silence, the two officially entered the "activity-restricted area" of the social gathering.

The moment they crossed that boundary, both of their mission communicators beeped. Upon opening them, they found a pre-delivered message, the editor's tone sounding familiar.

"Welcome to the 'First All-Staff Gathering and Social Event of the Moth of Flames'! No need for further words, as the prop provider for this event, I've prepared a thousand little surprises hidden throughout the event area. Those who find the 'gear-shaped' surprises can redeem their rewards at Velvi's Spiral Workshop!~"

Seele looked up at Yun Fuyu: "This voice sounds like it's coming from the trap that's trapping us... Her name is Wilvi, isn't it?"

Yun Fuyu nodded silently.

Seele's tone was adorable: "Seele will remember her!"

Although the trap became a trivial incident in everyone's calculations, the cuter Seele is, the more vengeful she is! (Just kidding)

Yun Fuyu patted her hair, and Xi'er shook her head like a kitten, glaring at him with a mixture of confusion, dissatisfaction, and shyness. However, she felt embarrassed by his "offensive" look, and her series of expressions were incredibly cute.

Hmm~ Speaking of which, should I take the time to formalize my relationship with Seele? If we continue to act as just friends, many things will be inconvenient, and our interactions will become increasingly awkward...

Let's see if there's a good opportunity! Yun started brainstorming to himself.

The two were just strolling around, with Yun Fuyu walking in front and Xi'er following behind.

The person walking in front does so simply because they are used to sheltering the 'petite and frail Seele' from the wind and rain. The person walking behind does so because they enjoy seeing him shielding them from the wind and rain.

This is Seele. She doesn't have a lively personality, and her emotions are relatively reserved. She is easily shy and easily frightened, which are her endearing qualities, but also her personality flaws.

What about Yun Fuyu? He was just as reserved, but he was willing to use his actions and words to subtly reveal his feelings, letting Xier's unspoken emotions flow gently across the earth like a stream.

They weren't exactly complementary, but Seele genuinely enjoyed being with him. Especially after discovering that he treated her with special consideration, that unspoken feeling became even clearer.

She hadn't walked far when Seele keenly sensed something unusual under her feet. She stopped, crouched down to examine the ground, and then pressed down hard on a certain spot—

Snapped! ~

Beneath the floor tiles, Seele activated a bioelectrically triggered button, and a gear-shaped coin shot out from the crack in the tiles, its accompanying charge and kinetic energy injuring Seele.

The crackling sound of electricity seemed like a dangerous signal, and Yun Fuyu quickly turned around to check on Xier's condition. She gently shook her head, touching her slightly stinging fingers, but in her heart, she added another note to Ms. Wilvi's list.

Please remember, Little Seele never holds grudges! She's a gentle and kind person!
