Chapter 135: Moonlight's First Appearance - The Captain is a Total Theresa Simp!
[Wielding the massive axe was a petite white-haired girl. Her crimson eyes radiated madness, like bottomless abysses. Though she roared from the depths of her throat, each syllable remained clearly distinguishable. "That person... that person..."
"—Give them back to me!"
With that roar, the giant axe came crashing down.
The sword-wielding girl barely managed to block the strike, her arms trembling slightly from the impact. "This strength... it's unnatural...! Just who are you—"
The girl's voice was frenzied, her gaze fixed solely on the
Captain: "Give them back give them back give them back give them back..."
The Captain's heart pounded violently as fragmented memories flashed through his mind—Shenzhou City, Honkai Impact Land, the rooftop terrace... (I know her... I recognize her... I've met her before...)
"Let's dance together, right here."
In the yellowed memories, Moonlight turned to smile at the Captain. (That lonely girl I ultimately failed to save.)
The Captain's inner voice overflowed with regret.]
[Kiana]:"Ah! Another Auntie Theresa!"
[Himeko Murata]:"This Theresa also has deep connections with the Captain!"
[Silver Wolf]:"Based on my years of gaming experience, there's definitely bigger emotional trauma between the Captain and Moonlight!"
[March 7th]:"Oh no! How does the Captain have emotional entanglements with so many Theresas? Could he actually be a playboy!?"
[Stelle]:"March 7th! How dare you assume the Captain's gender!"
[March 7th]:"...Uh, that comeback hit me so hard I don't know how to respond."
[Qingque]:"This Moonlight Theresa seems to like the Captain too, and nearby Stargazer Theresa also likes the Captain. Is the Captain just exclusively flirting with Theresas?"
[Rita]:"Lady Theresa is so adorable, how could anyone not like her?"
In Durandal's view, she had never seen Rita smile so terrifyingly before.
["Aaaaaah—! Blood... blood... give me blood..."
The girl's power was going berserk as the Captain rushed to her side. "Captain, you're too close! It's dangerous!"
Mei urgently warned.
Under the out-of-control Theresa's assault, Liliya's greatsword shattered into pieces against the axe's blade. Simultaneously, the white-haired vampire pinned Liliya to the ground. The vampire gripped Liliya's throat, baring her ferocious fangs. "Blood... I need more blood!!!! Aaaaaaaaah—!"]
[Rozaliya]:"So scary! Liliya almost got bitten by a vampire!"
[Kiana]:"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel like the Captain has committed unforgivable sins!"
[Theresa]:"Just how many romantic debts has the Captain accumulated across all these bubble worlds!?"
[Stelle]:"Moonlight! Bite me instead!"
[Ignoring everyone's concerns, the Captain resolutely approached Moonlight. "All this time... I think... I just wanted to hear someone say those words."
In the Captain's mind, fragmented memories echoed as Theresa's face grew clearer. (Back then, I couldn't save anyone.) ("But this time—") "Theresa—!"
As if pulled by some invisible force, the girl's movements paused momentarily.
Warm liquid dripped from the Captain's fingertips as a faint metallic scent spread through the air. The Captain had deliberately cut his own palm—if she truly shared the same nature as that girl he once failed to save... Then she wouldn't remain indifferent to this scent. Because. The girl in his memories once said his blood smelled uniquely comforting to her. "Here, if you want blood, you can have as much as you need."
"This time... I won't let you walk alone anymore."]
[March 7th]:"Huh? Doesn't the Captain recognize this Theresa now?"
[Dan Heng]:"From our omniscient perspective, we know she's the same person from the Captain's memories. But from his viewpoint, it seems she already died..."
[Theresa]:"Why do I have so many alternate versions! And they're always entangled with the Captain!"
[Himeko Murata]:"Because in the main world, the Hyperion's Captain currently works under you! When are you paying his salary!?"
[Mobius]:"This vampire Theresa seems to be a MANTIS too... which Honkai beast was she fused with?"
[Honkai Star Rail·Welt]:"Moonlight Theresa's condition must be Otto's doing!"
[Tesla]:"Where there's Theresa, there's Otto. Therefore Theresa becoming like this must be related to Otto somehow. Perfectly logical deduction!"
[Otto]:"How could I possibly do this to my precious granddaughter!?"
[The Captain's blood briefly restored Moonlight's rationality: "You... you're unharmed! Thank goodness, thank goodness...! You're safe, you're really here!"
Noticing the Captain's injury, her slender shoulders trembled slightly as panic colored her voice.
Without waiting for permission, Moonlight grabbed the Captain's hand and began carefully licking his wound. "Mmm... you have this incredible scent that calms me down."
"It's the same as before, but... something feels different...?"
Moonlight's small face showed big confusion. "Uh, that might be because... actually nevermind, I don't know either."
"...No, you are you. I understand now...!""Theresa..."
The Captain gazed at her tenderly.]
[Elysia]:"So sweet!"
[Silver Wolf]:"Your sugar comes with blood included!"
[Stelle]:"Gotta have some emotional trauma mixed in—that's how you know it's Honkai!"
[Stelle]:"Also Captain move aside! I want Theresa to lick me too!"
[March 7th]:"You better mean licking wounds!"
[Theresa]:"Stop just shouting 'Theresa'! I'm Theresa too, this feels so weird!"
[Qingque]:'This scene reminds me of a painting called "Stargazer Kidnapping the Captain"'
[Guinaifen]:"What an old meme—Theresa and Captain confessing their feelings while Stargazer is upstairs kidnapping the Captain!"
[Soon Dr. Einstein interrupted their tender moment—if they didn't hurry, those two sisters would get away. Cornered with no escape, the sisters made their decision: challenge Fu Hua, whom even March 7th wouldn't dare face.
The result was Fu Hua not even breaking a sweat as they lost completely. After defeating them, Himeko expressed curiosity about that Theresa—the child looked remarkably similar to the Academy Director. Yae Sakura explained they rescued this child from a pyramid who inexplicably charged forward upon seeing the Captain being kidnapped by Stargazer. Now knowing the Captain was on this floor, their only task was searching. Thanks to Kiana's luck, they quickly found him—locked in a secret room, tied up like a dumpling.]
[March 7th]:"These kids actually challenged Fu Hua head-on!? Seriously?"
[Theresa]:"Two Captains meeting like this!? How do they merge?"
[March 7th]:"Seeing the Captain kidnapped made Moonlight go absolutely berserk."
[Stelle]:"Now that's a yandere for you!"
