Eh, Bronya actually didn't think there was anything wrong with his words...
Haru looked at the girl who seemed completely calm and even actively suggested taking photos, feeling somewhat surprised.
Was it because Bronya was in a good mood right now?
Or was it because Siberia was more open-minded, making his praise seem ordinary to Bronya?
Whatever the reason, as long as the girl didn't think he was flirting with his boss, it was fine.
Haru blinked, his face also showing a smile.
"It's rare to come out like this. Taking a commemorative photo is good... Should I take it? I have some knowledge in this area."
"Hmm? Haru, have you studied photography?"
Bronya's movement of eating the popsicle paused as she turned to look at the young man beside her.
She remembered the captain was definitely a photography noob when it came to this area, not knowing how to use beauty filters or anything, and often taking photos from deadly angles.
Many Valkyries had complained about this...
It was only because their appearances were all decent. If it were ordinary women being photographed like this by the captain, they would definitely want to hit him.
But now the captain was saying he had knowledge of photography?!
Bronya wanted to laugh a bit, but soon couldn't laugh anymore.
"I originally didn't know much about photography, but my fiancée's work required it, so I spent time learning."
Haru said cheerfully, his eyes carrying a trace of tenderness.
Because Elysia often had to shoot various videos, he had put considerable effort into learning photography to help her, even consulting Eden, that great artist.
The final learning results were quite gratifying.
Although he couldn't compare to professional photographers, he was quite skilled at shooting videos and beautiful photos.
"I-I see..."
Bronya's expression became stiff, her gaze instantly falling on the engagement ring on Haru's left hand.
Annoying - this feeling that the captain had already been trained into another woman's shape was extremely irritating!
If possible...
Bronya really wanted to knock the captain unconscious right now, take him back to the hotel and severely correct him, making the captain return to the way she knew him.
Unfortunately, reality didn't allow Bronya to do so.
She could only forcibly suppress her continuously rising anger gauge, telling herself over and over in her heart to just consider it the captain going out to practice his skills.
As long as she could steal the captain back in the end, the current bit of green was just some frost and wind!
"Since you're so good at photography, you can take several more later~!"
Bronya bit down hard on her popsicle, adjusted her mindset, and passed her phone over with a brilliant smile.
Haru nodded, completely oblivious as he began taking photos.
Perhaps because they were taking photos together, Bronya stood very close to him when facing the camera, close enough that he could faintly smell the girl's familiar body fragrance.
Even after growing up, Bronya still had the same scent!
This thought flashed through Haru's mind, then he pressed the shutter, capturing the two of them smiling with popsicles in their mouths.
After changing several angles for photos, Haru returned the phone to the girl.
"Mm, they really turned out well. I'll send you a copy of the photos."
Bronya looked at the two people in the photos who looked exactly like a couple, her mood immediately improving a bit as she said softly.
Haru had originally wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but Bronya sent the photos over without another word.
Fine, this was his first photo with the grown-up Bronya anyway. Saving them would be pretty good.
After all, Elysia wouldn't check his phone, so there was no need to worry about any misunderstandings.
Haru mentally stated this treatment that countless men would envy, then shifted his gaze from his phone to Bronya's pretty face.
"Speaking of which, we've bought almost everything. What's the plan next?"
"Mm, you worked hard showing me around today. It's also dinner time, so how about I treat you to dinner?"
Bronya wasn't ready to let Haru go just yet, immediately suggesting this.
"Dinner? That's not impossible..."
Haru slurped his popsicle, nodding thoughtfully.
Elysia had sent him a text not long ago saying this video needed some night scenes, so she wouldn't be coming home for dinner.
Since he'd just be going home to cook something random anyway, it would be more convenient to mooch a meal off Bronya.
"Do you have anything you want to eat? There seem to be quite a few restaurants around here."
Bronya and Haru were currently walking down a commercial street, her gaze sweeping over restaurant after restaurant.
It had to be said, "what to eat" was definitely a century-old problem that had troubled everyone.
Haru couldn't think of what would be good for dinner either, until he saw a restaurant specializing in whole duck banquets, his eyes unconsciously brightening.
"Ahem, how about we eat this?"
"A whole duck banquet? If that's what you want to eat, of course we can, but..."
Bronya narrowed her beautiful eyes, looking at Haru with a (???) expression.
She seemed to sense that Haru was thinking about something rude. Speaking of which, the captain in the previous life also liked to call her Duck or Flat Duck.
This guy... he couldn't be planning to give her a similar nickname in this life too, could he?
Bronya pursed her lips slightly, her gaze circling around Haru once, then smiled lightly.
The captain better really want to eat duck. If not, then don't blame her for turning around and eating the captain instead~!
Haru felt somewhat guilty under Bronya's gaze.
His suggestion to eat a whole duck banquet was indeed because he associated Bronya's name with flat duck when pronounced, and thought it would be exciting to take Bronya to eat duck.
But what was with Bronya's meaningful look? Even if the girl's intuition was sharp, it shouldn't be sharp enough to read minds, right?
"Let's go, let's go in and eat."
Bronya withdrew her gaze and actively walked into the duck banquet restaurant.
Haru breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed the girl, then the two sat down at a window seat.
"Since you're the one who suggested wanting to eat this, you can order. Don't worry about the price."
Bronya displayed the magnanimity of a boss, directly pushing the menu to Haru and letting him choose freely.
Haru knew Bronya had transformed from a small wealthy girl in the past to a big wealthy woman, and since this restaurant's prices weren't expensive anyway, he took the menu without any psychological burden.
"Let me study this. Mm, how about ordering a Seven Duck Flying Feast?"
"This name... does it refer to seven dishes made with duck?"
"Right! Braised duck gizzards in wine, spicy duck neck and wings, duck feet in abalone sauce, duck leg confit, pan-fried orange duck breast, duck floss lettuce wraps, and finally duck blood vermicelli soup as the main course!"
Haru pointed to the sample pictures on the menu as he explained.
Bronya nodded as she listened, developing some curiosity from Haru's vivid description.
"Shenzhou cuisine really has rich variety. One duck can actually be prepared in so many ways. Then let Bronya taste this Seven Duck Flying Feast!"
