The Moment Elysia Confess Her Love, War Wages On the Ship

“It’s Elysia!”

Luo Ming spoke with great enthusiasm, completely engrossed. He didn’t notice that the ship-wide communication channel had been cut off by the Heavy Armament Little Rabbit the moment he mentioned Elysia name.

Bronya was becoming increasingly puzzled, but her face remained impassive.

Her expression was still very neutral.

Who was Elysia?

“Just as she got on board, she confessed to me. Making my heart stirred with love, truly…”

Luo Ming grew more animated as he spoke.

Bronya’s confusion deepened.

It seemed to be the new woman who had come on board, but why? Everyone was safe and sound. The captain either avoided any implications with all the Valkyries or, even though they had a good relationship, he never managed to progress beyond being just friends.

How far had they gone exactly?

The Valkyries had once convened a meeting to discuss whether Captain Luo was truly interested in women. Ultimately, more than half of them agreed that he is not interested in romance.

Only this explanation made sense.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain everything happening on the Hyperion right now. So many beautiful and charming girls with secret love and admiration to him in their hearts, and yet he behaved like a saint, clocking in and out every day as if the hints meant nothing.

Snacks they gave him were eaten and reciprocated.

She often Intentionally kept him up late to play games with her, and everytime she did so the captain would always complain, but would dutifully stay up with her, and then everything continued as usual.

Bronya always remembered how she had carefully chosen a two-player game about scavenging for survival at sea. On a raft made of plastic bottles, two game characters were huddled together. As the moon rose, large sharks circled the raft.

“The moonlight is so beautiful,” Bronya remarked.

“Oh, right, right, right,” the captain replied. “This scene is really suitable for you and Seele.”

It felt like the moonlight was shining on a trench.

Although Bronya had signed a fair competition agreement with Seele, the captain always praised Seele in front of Bronya and vice versa. She couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

Speaking of which.

What qualities did this Elysia possess that captured the captain’s heart as soon as she boarded the ship?

Bronya’s gaze remained fixed on the captain.

Luo Ming hadn’t noticed that the broadcast had been urgently cut off. He was cheerfully talking away, and Bronya wanted to hear the captain’s thoughts.

“I know, on a ship full of girls and yuri relationships, I’m like an outsider. I originally felt that way too. I, Captain, appear out of place on this ‘Yuri’ Hyperion. But now you don’t need to worry, because I have a girlfriend!”

“My girlfriend is Elysia.”

Huh?

Yuri?

Bronya had a strong urge to roll her eyes.

Nonsense. Does a girl sharing a room with another girl and getting along well with other girls constitute someone as a yuri?!

The mystery behind the Captain saint-like behavior was solved.

It turned out that all along, the reason why the captain had been as dense as a log, ignoring both subtle and overt hints from the Valkyries. was surprisingly simple—he thought they were into girls.

Such a… bizarre misunderstanding.

Bronya cleared her throat and was about to tell the captain the truth that she wasn’t into girls when, at that very moment, the door suddenly opened.

“To be this straightforward, I might get shy, you know.”

Bronya heard a voice as delicate as a flower and saw stunning pink hair.

There was a problem.

Although the broadcasting room’s door had been locked earlier by the Heavy Armament Little Rabbit, it was still opened by force. This meant the person who entered had broken through the door without making a sound.

That bow…

Seemed to be called “Whisper of the Past.”

Elysia flicked her hair and playfully swung the bow in her hand. The bow turned into light and disappeared, suspended behind her.

“Elysia?”

Luo Ming turned his head, a mixture of confusion and delight evident in his expression.

His girlfriend couldn’t bear even a short separation like this, rushing to the broadcasting room before his announcement was even made. It was a symptom only couples deeply in love would display.

Bronya, on the other hand, fixated a gaze on Elysia that was more like one an enemy would give.

The Heavy Armament Little Rabbit was prepared to enter battle mode.

The cramped cabin wasn’t suitable for combat, but Bronya didn’t mind facing off with Elysia in the training room. In that moment, she even felt an impulse to activate the core of reason. Fortunately, her rationality returned. She only put on a killer’s expression, without taking any further action.

Elysia completely captured the kind of gaze she was receiving.

Oh, how interesting.

Her intention in coming here was to confront the captain, to let him know that before declaring themselves as boyfriend and girlfriend, there was a process to go through, at least a month of getting to know each other. As for announcing such matters in front of everyone… Well, even a beautiful girl could get shy about that.

Elysia possessed an allure that ordinary people could hardly attain, a result of genetic experiments. Her carefree personality hid a heavy past.

She observed the two individuals in the broadcasting room.

Being adept at reading people, she immediately grasped the situation.

Truly interesting.

How many other Valkyries on this massive ship secretly held feelings for the captain, just like this silver-haired, gray-eyed beauty?

Probably quite a few.

She stepped into the broadcasting room, closed the malfunctioning door, and forcibly squeezed herself between Bronya and the captain on a small stool. The rich fragrance lingered in the air around them, bringing two entirely different experiences to their senses.

Luo Ming enjoyed the scent, taking a deep breath, while Bronya frowned.

“Captain, aren’t you going to introduce me to such a beautiful girl?” Elysia playfully blew air into Luo Ming’s ear.

What?

The captain instantly became vigilant.

He was well aware that “Honkai Impact 3rd” was a game with a tradition of female characters being attracted to female characters.

What if…

He meant “what if.”

Elysia was his girlfriend at this moment, there was no doubt about that. But what if he happened to be attracted by another charming girl halfway through? This kind of thing is contagious.

Luo Ming looked worriedly at Bronya, who often stayed up late playing games with him, feeling like he needed to be more cautious around her from now on.

Not just Bronya.

All the other Valkyries as well, he had to be cautious around all of them.

The ship-wide broadcast had long been cut off. What echoed in each Valkyrie’s room was an urgent audio, a nursery rhyme.

“Broadcast malfunction, broadcast malfunction. Now, please enjoy ‘Where Is Spring,’ performed by Bronya Zaychik.” The announcer was also Bronya. Afterward, emotionless singing resounded, skillfully executed but devoid of emotion.

Cabin doors opened one after another.

The Valkyries stood like awakened ancient deities, the rising mist unable to suppress the ferocious light in their pupils.

“Who is Elysia?”
