Chapter 51 She is Seele
……
(Note: The romantic relationship between Yun Fuyu and Seele develops naturally, while in the eyes of others, Yun Fuyu sees "Seele" as a substitute for "Seele the Herrscher of Death".)
Therefore, the following emotional storyline will be divided into two: one is actual, and the other is acted out. The latter enriches the content of the former. Please appreciate this subtle difference in emotions.
……
We arrived at the medical department.
Although it's called a medical department, it's actually just like any other large hospital, requiring registration and consultation. The only difference is the addition of an "emergency channel for combat personnel," which is always a VIP priority channel.
Yun Fuyu silently helped Xier register, then looked at the map to find the orthopedic clinic. Since there was no one ahead of her in line, she led Xier directly into the clinic. Xier sat on a stool, and Yun Fuyu stood behind her.
The doctor glanced at Yun Fuyu, then looked at Xier's arm and reached out to feel the bone.
"Hmm... It's not a big problem. The ligament injury is causing pain and swelling in the elbow joint. You'll be fine after taking some medicine and resting for a while. If you're in a hurry, we can perform a non-invasive surgery, and you'll recover in three to five days."
After the doctor finished speaking, he glanced at Seele's information on the computer screen and said, "Let's have the surgery. Your medical care is free now, so why not take advantage of it?"
Xi'er glared at Yun Fuyu again, muttering, "It's all your fault..."
Yun Fuyu: ...I'll endure it.
He took a deep breath and did not refute.
The doctor watched their little antics with a half-smile: "Young couples shouldn't play around like that. Just start with the basics."
Yun: ...? I suspect you're saying something that won't pass censorship?
Seele immediately retorted, "I am not his..."
The doctor waved his hand, interrupting her: "I understand, I understand, you are indeed too young to be in a relationship."
Seele: "I..."
The doctor interrupted her again: "Have you thought it through? Surgery or medication? I'll repeat myself, I personally recommend surgery."
“Then let’s have the surgery,” Seele said.
"Then let him rest and recuperate," said Yun Fuyu.
Synchronization at the level of a couple embroiled in seven lifetimes.
Seele turned around to wait for Yun Fuyu to explain. He said, "You're so young, and you're a survivor of the Honkai Impact 3rd who recently joined the Firemoth. It's really not good for you to participate in the battle so early. Why don't I take this opportunity to ask for leave for you? You can rest and recuperate without worry."
Seele frowned slightly: "...You investigated me?"
Theoretically speaking, Seele hasn't told him her name yet, so he shouldn't know about his situation.
In reality, during her afternoon nap, Yun Fuyu went to the official website and used the permissions granted to her by Mebius to look up the name "Xier".
Previously, after the Herrscher of Death "died," Yun Fuyu had been avoiding the name "Seele." This was the first time he had looked up "Seele."
As a result, the entries related to Seele did not include any Herrscher of Death, only "Seele Vollerai," who had just joined the Flame Chaser. She survived a Honkai catastrophe, was brought into the Flame Chaser because of her talent, and began training very soon after.
It's worth noting that Yun Fuyu took half a month to recover before starting training.
Therefore, Yun Fuyu couldn't help but feel sorry for Xier.
He replied, "Well, I mean no harm, I just want to get to know you a little better."
After hearing his words, Seele stood up and raised her proud head in front of him: "Then that proves you don't understand me at all! It was I who asked to participate in training and fighting as soon as possible. You don't need to put on your fake sympathy in front of me. It only makes me nauseous."
Although she used Seele's voice and body, the temperament she exuded was completely different from the Seele that Yun Fuyu knew.
He was speechless for a moment, and lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
Considering his good intentions, Seele softened her tone: "Alright, this is my business, you don't need to interfere."
She looked at the stunned doctor and told him her decision to have the surgery.
Doctor: ...So you really weren't a couple. Damn, it's rare for me to be wrong.
……
……
In the medical technology of pre-civilization, repairing ligament damage was a very minor surgery, and the difficulty was... about the same as cutting off an excessively long piece of skin from a certain area.
The doctor quickly administered local anesthesia to Xier. After the procedure, she was surprised to find that Xier had been staring intently at her surgical site the whole time, showing no fear whatsoever of the flesh and blood cut into her left arm.
Thinking about Seele's age and what she's been through (a survivor of the Honkai Impact 3rd), I couldn't help but feel sorry for her and suddenly understood what that boy was thinking.
The doctor said softly, "What he said makes sense. Your age and experiences are indeed not suitable for you to go to the battlefield too early. Sending a child to the battlefield is a dereliction of duty on our part, Moth Chaser."
Seele looked away and smiled at the doctor: "I've said it before, this is my request. I want to have the strength to step onto the battlefield as soon as possible, so that other children don't have to go through what I went through."
These words sent a shiver down the doctor's spine, because in her eyes, Xi'er was only fourteen years old, yet she already possessed such profound understanding.
The doctor sighed, finished bandaging Xi'er, and led her out of the operating room. He instructed Xi'er and Yun Fuyu, who was waiting outside, "Don't put any strain on your arm for three days. Come back in three days to check on the healing. Ideally, the bandage can be removed by then."
He then instructed Yun Fuyu separately: "Even if you two aren't a couple, you probably can't escape responsibility, so you must take good care of her!"
Yun Fuyu nodded and looked at Xi'er. Xi'er gave a soft snort and turned her head away from him.
But because he remembers "the Seele of the past", no matter how Seele behaves, he will only think that the current Seele is arrogant and still think that Seele is cute.
Leave the hospital.
Walking side by side with Seele under the shade of the trees.
Time seemed to fly by, and even though he wanted to slow down, he couldn't catch the tail of time.
Ahead lies the location of the fifth squad's encampment; Yun Fuyu should go and ask Xier for leave.
"I'll go ask for leave for you... Do you... want to come with me?"
A tentative question.
Seele gave a soft hum. He silently turned and left. But the light, kitten-like footsteps behind him couldn't escape his ears.
Turning around, he saw the lovely girl still following behind him. Noticing his gaze, she immediately frowned, looking quite unhappy.
He didn't say anything more and continued walking forward.
The girl relaxed her brow and continued to follow him with light steps, occasionally glancing around as if unwilling to look at him ahead.
The gentle breeze continued to blow, and the dappled light and shadow under the leaves remained unchanged.
