Anti-Entropy crews are on the trip to Guangzhou, to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Finally the Captain is here. Where was he the whole time....?

Anyway Last time I celebrated was back in 2017.... How's my family doing there....?

Walking together with Fuka holding hands.... (She dons her Chinese-themed outfit, Blue Swallow, yes.) I look around the place, full of lanterns, barongsai, and traditional music of China....

"Those lanterns...." It's beautiful.... Where did I last see this beautiful view? I'm very awed....

"This is your first time seeing this Y/N?" She asked me.

"Yeah. All I did when Chinese New Year came was to celebrate at Grandma's house, that's all."

"Then, Let's take a look around!" Getting spirited with her cheered voice.

"Lead the way!"

We finally went to the restaurant, and the good thing is that we reserved the table for ourselves, the Hyperion crew.

Oh my.... I hope I don't get tempted to eat pork....

Fuka was completely aware that I don't like eating that, so she already ordered the roasted peking duck for me.

With the Captain paying for us, we always love our captain, even for being stern.

The crews are on board in Hyperion, except for me and Fuka. We date on our own, buying some souvenirs, walking around, watching the festivals.

Finally, we stood on top of the building, viewing those beautiful lanterns....

"Fuka, Gong Xi Fa Cai. Happy Lunar New Year." Hands clenched on palm, showing the gesture.

"Gong Xi Fa Cai, Y/N. You know that's not how you say Chinese New Year right?" She showed me back in a gesture. I kinda forgot about when she reminded me about that sentence.

"I always thought it was. But it's just saying good fortune afterall."

"Hm hm. You're funny." She giggles. Fuka then leaned on me, and held my arms, continuing to watch the lanterns....

I feel my arm so warm, combined with her silk skin.... Closed my eyes over the bliss.

"Thanks for having our most fun time there, Fuka. I really mean it...." I arrived at my small house, standing by the gate, staring at Fuka.

"I'm glad you're happy, Y/N. And here's the angpao." She gripped the red envelope, which somehow looks thicker than the usual one.... and she gave it to me with both hands.

"Fuka...?" I obtained it, and tried to rip off the top.

Oh.... This is too much.... I took the cash that was wrapped in paper, which scales my hand size in thickness.... It's $10.000 (USD)......

"Fuka.... This.... This is just too much.... Ah ah, I don't know how to repay you...." No I'm serious, I feel pity for giving me this much.....

"Ever since you've always been by my side, I think you deserve more reward...." Fuka calmly tells her reason, with her genuine smile.

"......" I'm outta words.... Where did she get that much cash....?

"Are you denying your girlfriend's gift, Y/N?" Fuka jokingly asked and lowered her head and eyes upwards.

With nothing to say, I can only clench my fist and put it on my palm and say.... "Kiong hi"

"Kiong hi, Y/N~!" She excitedly did the same as me.

"Now don't think about my repayment, just have fun and spend something useful. Maybe your outdated phone there, ahahaha." It really is.... My Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro is not reliable anymore.... She's right. I'm still not going to sell it, maybe for backup.

"I guess.... Thank you so much, Fuka." I thank her once again.

"Love you too, Y/N. I'll be heading off now. Good night!" She waved her arm to me, with her cheery face.

Without a second thought, I hugged her tightly. She's kinda surprised for a moment, but eventually calmed down, and hugged me back. I rubbed her smooth exposed back.... and caressed her soft grayish hair, filled with her scent in my air. If not, everything on her is surrounded by her lovely scent, and I keep inhaling it, like I'm her air.

I release myself from the hug.... and she looks very happy now, and I can only smile.

"Good night too, Fuka. See you later. Be careful. Love you." I waved my hands at her.

"Yeahh! Thank you! See you again." She went back to the transport, and flew to the designated spaceship location.

Looking into the angpao, I began to think about something....

What am I going to buy here....?

Little did they know that your Captain is here.

I've been eavesdropping them right behind the wall. Y/N really makes everything much lighter to my beloved valkyries. But to be honest, how did he manage to bring that fictional figure back to this world?

Everyone became more brave and happy, ever since he gave those Ultra figurines to my valkyries. Impressive and I'm amused, but this questions me.

Who are you really, Y/N?
