Captain Beidou Is a General?! (beiguang)

7: The Plan

"Good morning, agent Ningguang!" all of the agents greeted—except one. One seat was empty. Ningguang stood rooted near the entrance.

My eyes didn't fool me... Her eyes stayed glued to the empty seat that belonged to the purple pastel haired girl.

Keqing.

"What are you waiting for?" Ganyu looked at the lady. "Come join us, let's eat." She gestured her hand to come over.

The lady looked around before proceeding to walk towards the table. As she got closer, she was startled by Keqing who appeared from under the table, who seemed like she was crouching or was reaching for something from underneath.

"Morning, agent Ningguang." Keqing greeted and held out her fork. "Sorry, I dropped my fork under the table." She placed it aside and picked up her second fork that was lying on her napkin.

It couldn't be more than a coincidence that Keqing just so happened to pick up her fork from underneath the table just when Ningguang and Ganyu arrived. The lady felt iffy about trusting this Keqing. Something about her told Ningguang to be alert, even though the agent Ningguang and her have been working together.

"Are you okay?" Keqing looked at the lady. "You're just standing there."

Ningguang snapped out of it and immediately responded, "ah, no, I'm fine." She tried to give a friendly smile. She didn't want to act suspicious in front of the agent. The lady proceeded to sit on her spot.

There were dishes in the middle of the table and the other agents served their own plates by adding the dish they pleased onto it. Ningguang was so glad that she didn't have to eat Jueyun Chili Chicken for breakfast.

The lady proceeded to grab a toast along with eggs and placed it on her plate. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary in the other agent's eyes... well maybe making Keqing an exception.

As the others were busy eating and minding their own businesses, Ningguang couldn't help but take a quick glance at Keqing from time to time. The short girl focused on eating her food before her and the lady was just glad she wasn't caught looking at her.

Ganyu was busy writing something in her journal. Pages were filled with lots of writing and a sketch of what seemed to be her works. "Agent Furong," Ganyu began and took a bite of her toast as she continued to write on her journal with her other hand. "Do you know if General Beidou said anything specific about taking out the Fatui camps?"

Furong took a sip of water before answering, "It's our duty to create a plan. It's what General Beidou would want us to do."

Ningguang continued to eat her meal and couldn't help but listen to their conversation, although she didn't want to be involved in it at all. She didn't really have a choice, anyway. She didn't want to leave the place until she got her vision back.

Ganyu rested the end of her pen on her chin. "I see. Would you like us to forge a specific weapon for the strike unit?"

Ningguang was just amazed at how serious and diligent Ganyu can be. Not so long ago, the blue haired lady was acting like they were kids with crushes.

"You are going to have to ask the leader of the strike unit that," Furong turned her head towards Ningguang.

Everyone else seemed to have listened to their conversation because all the agents suddenly focused on Ningguang. The lady was puzzled as they all looked at her. Me? Ningguang thought.

"What's it gonna be, agent Ningguang?" Furong asked. "Do we even have a plan?"

The lady was flustered but responded in the most confident way she could to act like she knew what she was doing, "I suggest we shall only terrorize them." Ningguang couldn't believe the words coming out of her own mouth. She didn't even know what she was saying.
