Haniel

Haniel. Public Bagel Account: @Haniel_SterryExpress. Private Account: @genesectparanormaldeptace. Current main alt: @fancontentmaster. The public account is for plugging Sterry Express and managing the brand image of Sterry Express, "If the money's good, we deliver anything!" (Jiuyuan's words). The private account is Haniel's main social hub: fics, art, music, cosplay sets… In the scene, she's a god-tier creator with an endless output. Her only flaw? Her posting schedule is a disaster! Her fans live in permanent agony, screaming: "It's so good, I'll take whatever crumbs I can get!" As for the alt, on days she's too lazy to post, Haniel just surfs Bagel incognito on various throwaway accounts. The second her cover is blown, she jumps ship to the next. She's sworn to defend the sacred right to consume fan content in peace.

Ever delivered a package before? Every Sterry Express courier has their own delivery ritual. For Haniel, the moment she gets the delivery slip, it's like a quest notification has dropped straight into her hands...

When Haniel was little, she had a ton of so-called "hobbies": violin, horseback riding, chess… Just like every other kid in her circle, she went through the usual "elite education" routine. She didn't hate any of it, but that didn't mean she liked it either. It all felt like a drizzly, soggy day where the world's colors are washed out and even birds feathers get stuck together.

Haniel likes sunny days better. So, before her nightly bedtime story, little Haniel sat down with her mother for a real conversation on equal footing. She laid out what she wanted and what confused her, asking the person closest to her for help. Her mom gently stroked her hair and apologized, saying she'd failed to notice Haniel's feelings in time.

Finding your true "hobby," the thing that's really yours, is hard. Luckily, Haniel was one of the fortunate ones.

The path to becoming an Elite Courier isn't always smooth sailing.

During her 16th delivery quest, Haniel accidentally lost a package. Even though it was found three hours later and Owner Jiuyuan didn't blame her for anything, Haniel still felt really guilty. Not wanting to worry her family too much, Haniel acted normal at the dinner table, casually chatting about all sorts of topics she was interested in. Of course, brave Haniel wouldn't let negative feelings bother her for long. After a good night's sleep, she was back to her usual self… but before leaving the house, Haniel received a gift. The headset she had mentioned at dinner the night before was now sitting quietly by her bedroom door.

"Haniel will definitely become the best courier ever," read the note on the gift box.

Yellowed stickers and childish handwriting… this is the secret Haniel has hidden in the deepest part of her bookshelf.

"The royal hounds are nothing but my steeds. In ten minutes, your crimes will be exposed!"

"Only those who risk everything for victory have the right to stand on the battlefield!"

"You bastards without hope or dreams, I'll keep my back straight and live on until my body is destroyed!"

"The destination doesn't matter at all, as long as I keep moving forward, as long as I don't stop…"

"My revenge… this is where the curtain truly rises."

After all, who doesn't have a notebook stuffed full of childhood memories?

After finishing binge-watching "Notes of the Future" at 3:43 AM, Haniel ordered a guitar while her eyes were still red from crying. This time, she would rewrite the band's ending herself.

Unfortunately, her elite education included violin, viola, and cello, but she had never been taught how to play guitar. None of that mattered though. Brave Haniel wasn't afraid of any challenge!

Picture this: After school, Haniel rides her bike alone to the park at sunset, a gentle breeze brushing the loose strands by her temples. By the fountain, the sentimental, shy girl finally finds a quiet corner where no one will notice. She takes a deep breath and pulls out a guitar she got from her father, the pick gently caressing the strings as beautiful melodies flow from the girl's fingertips. Leaves fall onto the water's surface, and when the performance ends, another girl jumps out from the nearby bushes with stars in her eyes, saying "Would you like to start a band with me?"

So Haniel sat in the park with her guitar for three whole months, with only cats as her audience… though cat audiences are pretty good too.

How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Black Tea:

Materials needed: Tea leaves (select OP-grade loose leaf, not tea bags), soft water (no mineral water), fresh pasteurized milk, a bit of white sugar, and an elegant tea set.

Steps: 1. Boil water, bring the soft water to a boil

2. Warm the pot for one minute

3. Ration the tea leaves (one teaspoon of tea leaves per cup)

4. Steep the tea leaves for three minutes

5. It's best to drink tea from ceramic cups

6. Add the milk to the cup first, then slowly pour in the tea

7. Add sugar according to personal preference

8. The best drinking temperature is between 60–65 degrees Celsius

### Remember: Milk first, then tea

A line of messy handwriting: Tea first then milk tastes good too

Haniel's books are always filled with bookmarks, each stamped with little animal paw prints. Whenever Haniel befriends small animals in the park, she makes a special bookmark for them, stamping their paws as keepsakes. These little travelers are always on the move. Who knows when they'll meet again?

There's always one slightly worn bookmark in Haniel's books. It's stamped with a black, somewhat incomplete kitten paw print, and the markings match the black and white bookmark. Haniel never became friends with this one… the cat was far too cautious. While the other cats happily shared the snacks Haniel brought, this one would always watch quietly from a distance.

It still sleeps peacefully on the same little hillside. Haniel sometimes goes there to play guitar, even though she sounds terrible.
