Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

The captain didn't continue talking. He stood up and stretched, and a strong fragrance came from the direction of the kitchen.

"Major Himeko, I'm going to see Mei."

Himeko made an OK gesture, and the captain walked into the kitchen. He saw a pot of fresh soup with just the right aroma being cooked next to Mei. There were several plates of prepared dishes next to it. Mei was looking at it with a kitchen knife. The big fish on her cutting board.

Seeing the captain come in, Mei Yi put down the kitchen knife and responded with a gentle smile: "Why are you in the kitchen, Captain?"

"It feels like it would be a lot of work if Mei Yi had to hand over all the delicious food to herself, so..."

"Captain, are you here to help me? I heard from Miss Misha that the captain is also good at cooking."

"Xiao Misha? No, I just know a little bit about it."

Meiyi listened to the captain's words and nodded in response while picking up a spoon and stirring the fresh soup in the pot.

In fact, since the end of the last mission, Mei Yi has occasionally reconsidered the extent of the "a little bit" the captain said. For Mei Yi, who is delicate and thoughtful, the captain has always been a very wonderful person who can always make her She was surprised from the bottom of her heart. Of course, more than surprise, it was admiration for this person who seemed to be almost the same age as her.

"Actually, I'm considering whether to make fish too, but Kiana has never liked picking out fish bones."

"Is it a fish bone? It's not difficult at all. With Mei's knife skills, it should be easy to separate the bones in the spine."

"But the bone spurs hidden in the fish's body are difficult to remove."

"Um…"

If it had been a long time ago, the captain might have felt that it was difficult to completely remove the fish bones, but since he learned a certain bone removal method from a friend's joke, he had not thought about such issues for a long time.

And just when the captain was reconsidering this issue after a long time, Kiana's voice came from the living room. It seemed that she could no longer hold back after smelling the fragrance.

"Mei~ Are you okay? The captain isn't stealing dinner, is he?"

"...The one who knows how to eat secretly is obviously Kiana herself."

The captain poked his head out of the kitchen and complained, so Mei decided to bring all the prepared dishes over first. The captain also helped bring the two plates of dishes to the living room. Then Meiyi returned to the kitchen and put on insulated gloves, poured the fresh soup into a small pot, and took it out carefully.

Seeing Mei go out, the captain began to think about the fish again. He walked to where Mei was standing just now, picked up the kitchen knife next to him and weighed it. The fish on the cutting board had been processed, and the internal organs had been removed, leaving only the fish. The body is still healthy.

"Speaking of which, I haven't done this in a while."

For a moment, a sharp knife light was reflected in the kitchen window. The captain grabbed the fish's head and poured power into his hands. He raised the knife and struck the fish's body close to the spine several times with the back of the knife from top to bottom. Then he quickly turned the fish's body over and struck with the same movement as before. Hit the fish body a few times.

After knocking, the captain turned the kitchen knife over and used the blade to make two cuts back and forth on the ridge of the fish body, moving the knife like a swimming dragon. After that, the captain put down the kitchen knife, put his energy into the palm of his hand again, grabbed the fish's head and patted the fish's body twice with a force that didn't seem light or heavy. Then he turned the fish over and placed it on the other side of the fish's body. Xiang repeated the movements just now, and the whole set of movements was done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

"call……"

This series of operations only took a total of ten seconds. The captain breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this trick was not unfamiliar yet.

At about the same time, Meiyi had already served soup and rice for everyone in the living room. She returned to the kitchen and looked at the captain standing next to the fish that had not yet been cooked with curiosity.

"Captain, what are you doing?"

"Ah...um..."

Mei Yi walked forward doubtfully and looked at the fish, which seemed to be unchanged from before. She took a closer look. Suddenly her eyes widened and her lips were slightly opened. She looked like she couldn't hide her surprise: "Could it be!"

Yayi grabbed the fish head with one hand and the fish body with the other. With a slight twitch, the fish head and the main spine of the body were smoothly pulled out of the fish body.

As a whole row of fish bones were pulled out, Meiyi saw the fish breast bones attached to them that had been neatly broken from the roots. However, that's not all. Mei simply spread out the fish body on both sides and found that the planes on both sides of the fish body were full of tiny fish bones. They were all removed from the fish body by some operation that Mei Yi could not imagine. .

"That's amazing...how on earth did you do it???"

Mei Yi looked at the fish on the cutting board with an expression full of disbelief. After a while, she came back to her senses, turned around and said seriously to the young man behind her: "Captain, can you teach me?"

"This... may take time to master slowly."

"It's ok!"

It seemed that he had guessed what she would say, but the captain was naturally happy to share his experience in this area, so he said, "I understand. I will teach you the basic principles and methods after dinner. If you have any questions, You can also ask me anytime."

"Yeah, thank you, Captain. Captain, you are indeed a very magical person."

"It's not that exaggerated."

"Then Captain, please hurry up and have dinner with everyone. The principal of the academy is also back. Mei Yi will come over when she's done with the fish."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Mei Yi."

Meiyi nodded, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. When the captain left the kitchen, she started to handle the fish with all her strength, and in a short while, she cut it all and put it in the pot.

"In this case, Kiana will also like it, right?"

Looking at the fish soup in the pot and the fish bones that had been sorted out next to it, Mei Yi couldn't help but have a comfortable smile on her face.
