Haru felt somewhat puzzled inside.
He could feel a strong sense of familiarity from the boss of miHoYo Studio.
But no matter how much he searched his memory, he couldn't remember where he had seen such an outstanding gray-haired girl.
"Strange, her appearance is so distinctive, I shouldn't have no impression of her..."
Haru muttered to himself.
As a transmigrator, he actually didn't know that many people. The most familiar were probably the Valkyries of Schicksal, and the Thirteen Flame-Chasers he met through Elysia.
Among this group, the only one who matched the hair and eye color was Bronya.
But the problem was...
Bronya had a loli body type! Her chest was as flat as a board. No matter how much she developed, her figure shouldn't be able to become curvy front and back, right?
There were limits to development.
Having a loli transform into a sexy, mature big sister in just a few short years would be very difficult!
You know, there was a certain immortal from Shenzhou who hadn't changed her figure one bit even after fifty thousand years.
Haru thought this to himself, then smiled, not noticing that the gray-haired girl standing at the company entrance was gripping her skirt tightly with her hands.
No mistake... she definitely wouldn't be wrong...
Seeing the person she had been searching for countless days and nights appear before her, the girl's red lips trembled slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to call out "Captain!"
However.
Haru's gaze, as if looking at a stranger, was like a bucket of cold water.
It chilled the girl to the bone.
Had the Captain also forgotten everything from the past, forgotten all the moments he spent with Bronya...
The girl seemed to understand something, and her excited emotions instantly turned to deathly silence.
The corners of her mouth, which had lifted a few pixels due to joy, pressed together again, and her light gray pupils seemed to lose their luster.
"Um... Boss? BOSS?"
Qingque looked at the girl who had suddenly become as cold as if she had facial paralysis, asking weakly.
"Oh, sorry, I just zoned out."
The girl took a deep breath. Her experience of losing emotions in her youth allowed her to mask the mixed feelings in her heart.
She reached out to take the materials she had asked Qingque to prepare, flipped through them briefly, then her gaze fell on Haru not far away.
"Qingque, you did very well. What was your salary at miHoYo before?"
"After deducting social insurance and housing fund, my monthly salary was only 6000 yuan."
Qingque answered honestly.
For a fresh college graduate, this salary level was quite decent.
The girl nodded and spoke calmly: "I announce that you've been promoted. From now on, your salary at miHoYo Studio will be 12,000 yuan per month."
"Ah? How much?"
Qingque couldn't believe her ears.
"Monthly salary of twelve thousand. If you don't want to stay at miHoYo Studio, I can also recommend you to some big companies, even global top-tier groups like Anti-Entropy Entertainment."
"No, no, I'll stay at miHoYo Studio. Thank you, boss."
Qingque quickly said, her small face showing the joy of being hit by a pie falling from heaven.
She wasn't stupid. She knew her abilities couldn't handle work at big companies, so it was better to stick with this generous new boss.
Just for collecting some materials and doing a bit of HR work, her salary had doubled directly.
Qingque didn't dare imagine how good the benefits at miHoYo Studio would be in the future.
Of course, Qingque didn't know...
The reason she got promoted and a raise was simply because she had helped Bronya recruit Haru.
Hehe, fate really was wonderful.
Bronya had been searching for the Captain for so long without progress, but now the Captain had actively come to apply to Bronya's company.
It seemed fate ultimately stood on Bronya's side!
Regardless of whether the Captain remembered the past he spent with Bronya, what Bronya needed to do wouldn't change—that was to keep the Captain here!
The girl pulled out Haru's resume from the pile of materials, her high heels lightly tapping the ground as she walked to Haru, who was still pondering her identity.
"Mr. Haru, let me introduce myself. I'm Bronya Zaychik, the owner of this miHoYo Studio."
The girl spoke in as steady a voice as possible, elegantly extending her right hand.
"I'm very glad you could participate in miHoYo Studio's interview. You don't mind if I start the interview now, do you?"
"Ah, okay."
Haru instinctively shook hands with the girl, then his delayed reaction kicked in.
Wait, he didn't mishear just now, right...
This outstanding girl was named Bronya?!
Haru recalled his earlier speculation, a trace of bewilderment flashing in his clear eyes.
The girl's voice carried a hint of sweetness, and it did sound like Bronya, but...
Haru remembered the past flat-chested duck, then looked at the current big duck whose chest was more impressive than ten Fu Huas combined, and a thought unconsciously surfaced in his mind.
Could Bronya have cheated using the Herrscher of Reason's abilities?
As everyone knows, the Herrscher of Reason's authority could reconstruct the body, so things like breast enhancement could naturally be done.
But Haru quickly realized that there was no longer any Honkai in the world.
In other words...
Bronya had truly just undergone the transformation of growing up, evolving from a loli to a big sister.
Thinking of this, Haru immediately felt somewhat unsettled.
Although in this timeline, his heart only held Elysia...
But in past loops, he had also been with Bronya, so he definitely had feelings for Bronya that went beyond friendship.
How to put it, Haru's current feeling was like encountering his childhood first love, who had grown from a delicate little girl into a graceful young woman with charm far exceeding the past, while he now had his own family. Their meeting was destined to be fated but not meant to be.
The complex emotions involved were probably comparable to ex-girlfriend literature.
However...
Although Haru felt a sense of things having changed due to Bronya's dramatic transformation, he showed no abnormality on his face.
Having experienced numerous loops, Haru was already accustomed to pretending to be strangers when reuniting with Valkyries.
No matter how deeply etched the love, it was difficult to overcome the great power of time!
Except for him as a transmigrator, no one could retain memories through Finality's loops... What might be a long-awaited reunion for Haru was just meeting a stranger to the Valkyries.
If Haru were too familiar with them, that would be even stranger, right?
Speaking of which.
In this timeline where the Cocoon of Finality had been defeated, the girl's changes were so dramatic that she might not necessarily be the Bronya he was familiar with.
With this mindset, Haru adjusted his expression, forcing a distant smile onto his face.
And Bronya, who believed the Captain had no memories of the past, also worked hard to control her emotions, not letting outsiders see anything unusual.
Just like that...
Two people who both remembered each other unanimously pretended to be strangers, sitting face to face at the office desk, beginning a somewhat awkward interview!
