Honkai Impact: Star Railway: I'm really not a Star God!

"I've never seen such a 'lively' girl."

Upon hearing this, March 7's facial expression immediately froze.

"That's just my personality! I didn't cause any trouble this time... You'll get used to it... Look, Danheng is used to it."

Dan Heng turned his head to one side and spoke slowly.

"I have the right to remain silent."

"And what about you, my friend?"

After Xing finished speaking, Himeko focused her gaze on Ling Kong.

Her intuition told her that the person in front of her was not simple.

It's hidden...very well.

A woman who has access to the legacy of the Pioneer God is no ordinary person.

"I think March 7th, well, is very good at livening up the atmosphere and can keenly sense who is doing bad things, such as the Antimatter Legion."

Ling Kong spoke in a serious tone, while not forgetting to distance himself from March 7th.

He always felt that after saying those words, he would be suddenly killed by March 7.

"What?! What?! That was definitely done by the Antimatter Legion! They're incredibly evil! They cause destruction everywhere!"

The result was obvious: Danheng, Xing, and Lingkong all looked at March 7 with eyes that said, "I believe in you."

Yes, that's right, they're all antimatter legions.

"real!!!"

Upon seeing this, Himeko couldn't help but smile. To appear more reserved, she covered her laughter with her hand.

"Pfft, young people are so easy to get along with. It seems you've become quite familiar with each other already."

With a slight smile, Himeko perfectly embodies the charm of a mature woman.

"Let's go, Estella is worried about you."

Following Himeko's steps, the group arrived at the center of the command room.

In front of a satellite projection, the pink-haired girl frowned, but she issued commands with remarkable speed.

"Projected radar tracking is normal, but the telemetry signal frequency is too high! It must be maintained at the average level!"

"According to predictions, the legion is about to launch more than ten waves of continuous attacks. Hold on, everyone!"

When Ling Kong actually met this so-called acting station manager, he was slightly surprised for a moment.

Even though I have this memory, I still can't help but feel emotional when I see it in reality.

The fact that a young girl can be appointed as the station manager speaks volumes about her abilities.

After Estelle finished giving her orders, March 7th, who was standing behind her, said happily.

"Station Master Estella! We're back~"

"Phew~ It's good that you're back. Alan has already told me about your situation... In the face of disaster, we were too unprepared for these emergencies and neglected security and the development of combat personnel."

After saying a few words of self-reproach, Estella looked at the three people on the Starry Sky Train, along with Xing and Ling Kong, and said with emotion.

"The members of the Star Train are all exceptionally skilled."

As she glanced at it, Estella thought to herself.

When did the Star Train gain two more members?

Did Train Conductor Himeko recruit two new members when she left?

As expected of Train Conductor Himeko, her talent for recruiting top talent is truly impressive.

(Reviewing the plot, need to memorize it)

Chapter 8 Himeko extended a private invitation to you.

Sometimes, misunderstandings, if left unexplained, will become the truth.

Himeko has more speculations about the stars, but for now, they are just speculations.

As for Ling Kong... this person is too mysterious. Himeko sensed a bit of the power of memory in Ling Kong.

"Is it related to the people of Liuguang Yiting...? I hope it's not a bad thing."

Passengers who pass the test are welcome to join the train on their interstellar exploration journey.

“I sent many letters, but they all disappeared without a trace. Miss Himeko knows her. The space station is just a warehouse for her followers and curiosities. She doesn’t care about it at all.”

Even after becoming the nominal stationmaster of the space station, Estella was still helpless against the hands-off manager, Ms. Black Tower.

Your house is about to be robbed! Aren't you coming back to help?!

“I knew it… It’s okay, I’ll also send a message to the Black Tower saying that we’ve brought the artifact she wanted. At least this is still somewhat attractive to her.”

After saying that, Himeko glanced at Hoshi.

Perhaps there's something else she's even more interested in.

"That's a real help."

After chatting for a while, Estella busied herself with various tasks and handed over the task of comforting the employees to the crew of the Starry Sky Train.

For those unfamiliar with the space station, it's advisable to communicate with Aista to gather information.

Estelle readily accepted.

This is wonderful; the members of the Star Train even took the initiative to learn about the space station.

This shows what?

They came to help us with the best of intentions!

Taking advantage of a rare moment of leisure, Lingkong decided to wander around and observe the exotic customs.

For example, that guy with the afro not far away fits the "swaying to the extreme" vibe perfectly.

......

"Ling Kong, would you mind taking up a little of your time to talk?"

At a corner, Ling Kong, who was still wandering around, was stopped by a woman's voice.

His gaze followed the source of the sound, and there was a bench where Himeko patted the empty seat next to her, indicating that he could sit down.

"What's wrong? Sister Himeko, I'm a little flattered."

"Sister? That's a sweet way to address you, Lingkong. What do you think of... this starry sky?"

With her hands behind her back, Himeko looked up at the vast starry sky.

The outermost layer of the space station is made of special materials, so there's no need to worry about looking up at a white ceiling.

Looking up at the starry sky, Ling Kong pondered for a moment before giving his answer.

"There are countless galaxies and countless civilizations that want to expand their scale. In the face of the entire universe, their efforts seem so small and powerless. But there will always be some lucky ones who break through the shackles and become interstellar civilizations. Don't you think their efforts are interesting?"

"Civilization always needs to grow. The significance of the Star Train is not only to follow the traces left behind by the pioneering star gods to find the truth, but more importantly... the experience along the way. Isn't that the meaning of pioneering?"

Himeko gazed meaningfully at Ling Kong.

Those who can speak like this are either megalomaniacs with a twisted sense of humor, fanatical madmen, or... powerful beings who transcend the realm of ordinary life.

"Humans, or even advanced intelligent beings that are not human, have such insignificant lives. Compared to beings like Star Gods, destroying a planet is no different from stepping on an anthill. But even so, they will burst into brilliant fireworks at the last moment of their lives. I really admire that spirit."

Which star god do you worship?

“Me? I don’t believe in any of them. They haven’t reached that level yet. I’ll just walk my own path, which is no shorter than that of the Star Gods.”

Himeko was clearly taken aback when she heard that Lingkong did not believe in any star god.

She had initially guessed that Ling Kong might be an emissary of a star god, but Ling Kong told her that he did not believe in star gods. This caused a subtle change in Himeko's attitude towards Ling Kong.

Although the Star Train welcomes passengers and new companions, each new passenger has their own test.

That is to see if this new passenger will be anti-human or anti-biological or something.

Otherwise, the reputation of the Star Train would be ruined; these nameless passengers are quite famous.

"Then...would you mind walking with me?"

"Uh-huh??"

Himeko has invited you to a private meeting.

One second he was gazing into the distance with profound mystery, the next he widened his eyes and hurriedly waved his hand, saying...

"How strange—I'm still a child, I don't watch those things."

"?"

"?"

Looking at Ling Kong with a strange expression, Himeko admitted that for a moment she thought Ling Kong was a joyful person.

Why do you like having so much fun?

You know what, now that I think about it, it's starting to look more and more like it.

Could he just be a pleasure-seeker who walks a happy path in life?

......

Walking into a less crowded section of the cabin, Himeko, with her back to Lingkong, placed the coat she had draped over her shoulders on a nearby box. When she turned around, she almost choked on a mouthful of water.

Ling Kong covered his eyes and muttered something under his breath.

"I will not give in easily. You can easily take my body, but you can't take my heart."

"???"

What can't take your heart away?

Am I really that unattractive?

Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw! What do you mean, "easily take away your body"?
