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

Chapter 220 Using My Former Identity to Like You

……

The next morning.

Yun Fuyu and Himeko arrived at the airport together, waiting for Eden's arrival.

“Yien… cough, Ms. Yien, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

When Eden, disguised, walked over, Himeko was about to tell Yun Fuyu, "That person over there is Eden," but Yun Fuyu went up to Eden and greeted him as if they had met before.

Today, Eden wasn't wearing that golden mask; instead, she was wearing a face mask, and her long, wine-red hair was styled in a unique way—a "punk" look.

That's right, it's the "Shamate" style.

So, today's Eden is a trendy and cool hot girl Eden.

Pfft, Yun Fuyu couldn't help but laugh out loud. This look is the perfect disguise. Who would have thought that the renowned Eden, the mysterious dancer who captivated everyone at the banquet a few days ago, would be this hot girl in front of her?

Eden wasn't offended, only giving him a reproachful look before walking towards the plane. Yun Fuyu could only follow, and Himeko, along with Hua and Yin, also followed.

The four seats were arranged: Himeko, Hua, and Yin were together, while Yun Fuyu and Eden were together.

In fact, it was Eden who took the initiative to ask Yun Fuyu to escort her, and only then did Mei extend an invitation. Therefore, although Eden should have been traveling in first class, this time she chose to sit with Yun Fuyu.

(The Moth Chaser's exclusive flight has only two seating options: first class where you can lie down and sleep, and economy class where four people sit around a table. Right now, Yun Fuyu and Eden have a table all to themselves.)

Yun Fuyu realized this as well, and after settling down, she asked Eden directly, "Ms. Yien, you seem to care about me more than you do about ordinary people? Hmm, let me guess, is it because of my face?"

Aside from being a bit too polite in his wording, the specific content of his questions revealed him to be a complete straight man.

Eden even paused for a moment before calmly saying, "The truth is indeed related to this, but what I'm more curious about is—Yun, your eyes tell me that you are very interested in me, yet not interested at all."

Eden's words were tactful, but the topic was direct: Not to brag, but I am an absolute beauty! You are interested in my identity, but not in me?

Yun Fuyu shrugged slightly: "What's the point of this topic? Ms. Yien, I truly admire your music and your graceful dance. Isn't that enough?"

Eden raised an eyebrow slightly and sat down steadily: "You're right. Then, let's talk about something else."

Yun Fuyu thought Eden wanted to ask about the Fire-Chasing Moth again, so she replied, "I'd be happy to answer your question."

As a result, Eden immediately raised two fatal questions—

“Your ‘fiancée,’ Seele, may I hear your story?”

"I can sense that you know Alicia. May I have the honor of knowing your story?"

"..."

Yun Fuyu immediately stammered: "These things are simply impossible to say! Seele's identity as a Herrscher is too sensitive, and publicly, she and Alicia shouldn't know each other!"

He pondered for a moment, then replied indifferently, "The past is the past, why not look to the future?"

Deceiving is an art!

Eden smiled gently: "You're right, but I don't agree. Well, I won't go into any grand principles. I just want to know, what exactly is your purpose in walking this path?"

Yun Fuyu tilted her head: "Huh? What do you mean?"

"..." Eden took a deep breath: "Aili took Seele and went to Australia before me. Yun Fuyu, what exactly is your purpose?"

"You should have said so earlier!" Yun Fuyu had been guessing for a long time, but she never expected it to be because of this!

He silently rolled his eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, he said sincerely, "Xi'er wants to go out and clear her head, and I want to go and pick her up. It's that simple."

He was telling the truth, but judging from Eden's expression, he clearly didn't believe him.

Oooh!

The conversation stalled, and the atmosphere became tense. After sitting with Eden for a while longer, Yun Fuyu couldn't stand her gaze any longer and slipped away to the next table—opposite Himeko and Hua, with Yin beside her.

This is absolutely unbelievable! We've come full circle again!

Yin Zheng was curious and wanted to speak to Yun Fuyu, but he simply made a shushing gesture, then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Yin looked at Himeko curiously, but the latter helplessly shrugged, indicating that she didn't understand the current situation.

……

……

There's not much to say about what happened in Australia. Yun Fuyu didn't want to deal with the Fifth Squad, and Eden also became suspicious of him, so he could only wander alone like a lost soul in the wilderness until the day Seele returned.

The lovely girl carried large bags and small packages and rushed back to the Moth Chaser base overnight. Yun Fuyu, who had received advance notice, hurriedly came to pick her up.

Upon meeting, a myriad of emotions were brewing within them, but in the end, they simply nodded to each other and then naturally stood together.

Seele happily took a piece of clothing from her handbag, placed it in front of her, twirled around, and looked at Yun Fuyu with sparkling eyes: "Look~ This is a new dress that Alicia gave Seele, isn't it pretty?~"

Alicia's taste is, of course, superb. This outfit perfectly suits Seele's temperament, seamlessly blending the image of a "girl next door coming of age" with the feeling of "a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without artifice." Just imagining Seele wearing it tells you she will be both pure and beautiful, and charming and alluring.

Yun Fuyu nodded: "It looks great, and it suits Xier very well."

Seele then pointed to the remaining bags and packages: "These were all given to me by Alicia! But she has one request: I have to wear these new clothes and take a set of photos to give to her."

Xi'er looked at Yun Fuyu with a smile: "But I think, why don't we take a picture together? It would be so much fun to give her a photo of the two of us together~"

Yun Fuyu laughed out loud: "Great idea!"

After recounting her recent situation, Seele finally asked casually, "Did you miss me while you were in Australia?"

Seele has been thinking about you all along.

This time, he smiled from the bottom of his heart, put his arm around the girl's shoulder, buried his head in the crook of her shoulder, took a deep breath, and then said with relief, "If I don't take a breath of my Xi'er, I'm going to lose control of my Xi'er addiction! Luckily, you came back in time."

Xi'er's eyes crinkled with laughter, but she deliberately kept a straight face, making her expression a half-smile: "You smooth talker, A-Yun, you're not learning good things!"

Yun Fuyu was amused and exasperated: "Who's the smooth talker here? Seele, why do you sound like Airi?"

Seele hummed twice: "You actually thought of other girls while chatting with Seele? Ellie~~ What an intimate nickname..."

"Ah... okay, okay, Seele is right, it's my fault. I should only think about Seele, okay?"

"..."

Although she didn't say anything, Seele's behavior showed one thing—her inner conflict had been resolved.

I'll speak and act the way I used to, and I'll love you as I used to. That pure feeling is what we were like back then.
