Chapter 878 Gathering, Qinxia Amusement Park 23
After chatting with Shigure Kirara, the three of them went through a short and difficult trek in the blizzard... and finally reached the top of the mountain.
Kevin: "...Is this the top of the mountain? It's much smaller than I thought."
Hua: "Master Qian only said there was a treasure on the top of the mountain, but he didn't tell us the exact location. Since the top of the mountain is not big, it should be easy for us to find it."
"Hua, if you think so, you're totally wrong. The top of the mountain isn't big, so getting up early is convenient, but it's flat here, and we haven't found anything that looks like treasure. Doesn't that mean—"
Hua reacted: "The treasure is gone? How could this happen? Was it taken away by someone else first? But we didn't see anyone else along the way, and we repaired the broken bridge. No one should have reached the top of the mountain before us.
Is there some hidden place we haven't searched yet?"
"There's no place to hide anything here."
"No, for example... Alicia is gone now."
After hearing what Hua said, Kevin noticed that Alicia had gone somewhere. When the two were confused, Alicia suddenly appeared.
Alicia: "Hi, did you miss me? I'm here~ I was just making cup noodles for everyone. Here, take it! This one is for Kevin, and this one is for Hua."
As if by magic, Alicia handed two cups of hot instant noodles to her companions.
"I took some hot water and brewed it briefly. It tastes like chicken soup, which is quite fragrant, right? After all, this is the cup noodles made by Alysia, a novice. Come and try my craftsmanship~"
Hua: "Is it time to eat noodles now?"
"Why not? Look—"
Following the direction of Alicia's finger, the snowstorm that had previously obscured the sky was gradually breaking away. The sun slowly emerged from the clouds, casting a slightly dazzling light on the mountaintops—it was beautiful weather, the first clear day after the snow had cleared.
At this time, Alicia, Hua, and Kevin were eating instant noodles together, watching the slowly rising sun.
Captain of Honkai Impact 3rd: "Wow! A classic scene! Hurry up and record it!"
Honkai Impact 3rd Alicia: "Eating noodles together on the top of the snowy mountain facing the rising sun, I think Kevin is the happiest person here."
Star Dome Railway Bai'e: "Has Kevin's image as a noodle lover become so deeply ingrained in people's minds?"
Juequ Ling Qianyu Youzhen: "But then again, the three of them standing side by side suddenly reminded me of Mr. Bai'e, Marshal Hua, and Miss Xilian."
Cosmic Wanderer Gao Xuan: "In a sense, this picture can be regarded as a combination of destruction, hunting, and memory eating noodles together."
Kevin: “…The snow stopped.”
Alicia: "Yes, the snow has stopped."
Hua: "From the foot of the mountain to the top, from blizzard to clear sky, we walked such a long way, but in the end we still didn't find the treasure that Master Qian mentioned."
Alicia: "But we also got other treasures~ Wanna guess?"
"Eh? What is that?"
"It's chicken noodle soup." Kevin said seriously.
Alicia: "Well, that's half right? Actually, it's the sunshine after the snow. Look, you don't usually get the chance to see a view like this, do you?"
"...So those are the first two words of Chicken Soup Cup Noodles. After trudging through the snow for a long time, cold and hungry, you actually thought of enjoying the scenery first. As expected of Alicia, right? Aren't you tired?"
"I'm really tired. To be honest, after walking on the snowy mountain for half a day, I feel like every bone in my body is shaking. However, if I lie on the snow and roll around and cry out in exhaustion, it will be even colder.
Since we haven't found the treasure, all we can do now is catch this beautiful sun, right?"
Hua thought it was right: "...Yeah, and there are delicious cup noodles."
"Yes, although it's just ordinary cup noodles, it's just right for us who are tired and hungry. What's more, we can enjoy the sunshine while eating. I need to find a good angle to share this view with the little cuties in the live broadcast room!"
Kevin chuckled at this time. Alicia noticed it and asked, "Hmm? Have you thought of anything interesting, Kevin?"
"No, it's probably not very interesting. You know, for those of us who often work overtime in the office, eating instant noodles in the daylight is a terrible thing."
Hua: "Ah, because that means you worked overtime all night, right?"
"Well, you've developed the acumen of a workplace veteran, Hua. I can't remember how many times I've experienced this scene—the glaring sunlight, the noisy birdsong, the cup of noodles in my hand, they all remind me that you just lost last night and are about to lose the dawn for your work."
Genshin Impact's Keqing: "You just lost last night, and now you're about to lose the dawn for your work. This line is quite philosophical, and it feels very appropriate for those of us who are obsessed with our work."
Fate Red A: "Yeah, in a sense it's particularly appropriate."
Star Dome Railway Gold Dust: "It is indeed a true portrayal of the work of many people, but unfortunately, mine is not one of them."
Kevin sighed imperceptibly and clasped the hand that held his back, offering warmth. The rising mist of water vapor forced him to look up at the sky. The sky after the snow was exceptionally clear, the sunlight dispelling the heavy haze and embracing the entire world in a soft, warm glow.
Alicia: "But that also means Kevin overcame the countless workload yesterday. This first clearing sun after the snow, and the vast and beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain, are proof that we have made it all the way through university, overcame numerous difficulties, and finally reached the summit successfully~"
Kevin thought it made sense: "...Yeah. To be honest, this journey wasn't much better than working overtime. When I was stopped by Little V's assistant, when I took refuge in the cave, and when I encountered a blizzard, I thought more than once that this was even more tiring than going to work.
But now, we've reached the top of the mountain. Eating this cup of noodles makes me feel like things are finally over. All the chaos along the way is over.
"Don't be so harsh! I can't wait to share this rich experience and beautiful scenery with other partners. So, the live broadcast materials we encountered are all very precious and well-received."
Xilian from Star Dome Railway: "It seems Kevin has become more open-minded after being persuaded by Sister Alicia."
Genshin Impact Kamisato Ayato: "However, the work situation seems to have not been resolved yet. It is not certain whether Mr. Kevin will be laid off."
Dr. Honkai Sanmei: "It doesn't matter. Even if Kevin is really laid off in the plot, as long as he comes to me, I will definitely support him."
Zero Yao Jiayin of Juequ: "Wow! Is this what Dr. Domineering is like, falling in love with me?"
