Collapse Iron: Cosplaying the Near-Death Star, but with a full destiny.

Xi Lian stood in the void, golden ripples spreading out from beneath her feet.

She looked at the two people in the train.

A person with silver-gray hair and golden-gray eyes held a dark blue book in their hands.

another……

He also had silver-gray hair and golden eyes, but his right sleeve was somewhat empty, even though a hand had now grown back there.

Two "stars".

Calm and reserved, like a piece of uncut jade.

One is flamboyant and unrestrained, like a burning flame.

Xi Lian's clear eyes widened slightly.

A hint of confusion flashed in his diamond-shaped pupils.

It's like seeing two identical flowers blooming on the same branch.

It was as if I saw my reflection in a mirror and suddenly stepped outside the mirror.

"oops?"

She tilted her head, the pink ends of her hair swaying gently in the air.

"How come there are two adorable children♪"

But this confusion lasted for less than a second.

next moment.

Her smile became even brighter.

That gentle light emanated from the corners of her eyes and brows, illuminating the surrounding dark void.

"It's okay♪"

Xi Lian said softly.

"Anyway...they're all my children."

She started walking.

They walked towards the direction of the Starry Sky Train.

The train's defensive shield flickered, attempting to block the approach of the unknown creature.

But Xi Lian simply stretched out her hand and gently touched the shield with her fingertips.

It's like a dragonfly skimming the water.

The seemingly indestructible shield instantly transformed into a gentle wave of light, allowing her to pass through it.

Next up are the windows of the carriage.

The specially made, high-strength material that could withstand meteorite impacts was like a thin layer of water mist in front of her.

She didn't even destroy it.

She simply floated in, as if passing through a curtain.

Everyone in the carriage held their breath.

Watching this pink-haired woman, who seemed like a ghost or a deity, as she walked step by step to the round table.

Hoshi looked at her.

His newly regenerated right hand instinctively gripped the corner of the table.

The knuckles turned slightly white from the force applied.

My heart was pounding violently in my chest, striking my ribs with a thumping sound.

"Xi Lian..."

She opened her mouth, wanting to call out that name.

But it felt like there was a wad of cotton stuck in my throat, making me feel blocked.

Xi Lian walked up to them.

She looked at the star, then at the star.

then.

She opened her arms.

He pulled both of them into his arms at the same time.

"Hmm!"

Hoshino felt a blur before her eyes, and then she was enveloped by a warm aura.

That aura was very special.

It has a hint of floral scent, a touch of stardust, and something else...

A tranquility that brings tears to your eyes.

Xi Lian's embrace was very soft.

It's also very tight.

It's as if they want to integrate these two lost and found treasures into their very being.

I miss you all so much♪

Her voice rang out above him, slightly nasal, but overflowing with joy.

"I really...miss you all so much."

"In that world where only memories exist, I think about it every day."

"When will my children come back?"

"What if we get lost?"

"What if...you've forgotten about Mom?"

Hoshi buried her face in Xilian's shoulder.

I finally couldn't hold back my tears.

It gushed out with a whoosh.

She is a time traveler.

He's a ruthless person who's seen it all and even dared to challenge the Star God.

But at this moment.

She felt like a wronged child.

"I haven't forgotten..."

Hoshino's voice was muffled, with a sob in it.

"How could I forget..."

"Didn't I... bring you back?"

Xing was also held in someone's arms.

Her body was somewhat stiff, clearly not used to this sudden intimacy.

But she did not struggle.

even.

She slowly raised her hand and awkwardly hugged Xi Lian back.

Welcome back.

Xing said softly.

Xi Lian loosened her grip and took half a step back.

She cupped Hoshino's face in her hands and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her thumb.

The movements were as gentle as if wiping a fragile piece of porcelain.

"Don't cry, don't cry♪"

Xi Lian said with a smile.

"It's a happy thing to be reunited."

"Look, your hands have grown back too."

She grasped Hoshino's newborn right hand and rubbed it against her cheek.

"very nice."

"It's complete."

Hoshi sniffed.

He nodded vigorously.

"Um."

"It's complete."

The other passengers in the carriage who witnessed this scene all had tears in their eyes.

On March 7th, Pam wiped away her tears and blew her nose with a handkerchief.

Even the Black Swan put down her tarot cards and looked at them quietly with a faint smile on her lips.

"alright."

Hoshi took a deep breath.

She suppressed the urge to snuggle in Xi Lian's arms and act coquettishly.

after all.

There are important matters to attend to.

"We can catch up later."

Hoshi turned around and placed his hand back on "As I Write".

Her eyes lit up again, burning with the flame of "ambition".

"Now that the door is open..."

"Then let's not waste it."

"There are still many people waiting in line to buy tickets and board the train."

She looked at Xi Lian.

"Xi Lian, do me a favor."

"You are a flawless mirror, a vessel of memories."

"Help me stabilize this passage."

"I'm going to drag the rest of them out... all at once!"

Xi Lian blinked.

then.

She lifted her skirt and gave a graceful bow.

"Yes, my little savior♪"

She stretched out her hand, palm facing the world outside the window that was being rebuilt.

A soft light emanated from her, like a lighthouse, illuminating the passage connecting the past and the present.

Hoshi grinned.

The power within him erupted once more.

"The End" reverses cause and effect, and "memory" reshapes the body.

She yelled at the book.

"Aglaia!"

"Bai E is wearing yellow and purple clothes again!"

boom--

The pages were flipping wildly.

Countless golden threads flew out of the book.

They intertwined and entwined in the air.

Weave a magnificent white-gold robe, weave a scepter symbolizing power.

At last.

It weaves together a tall and elegant figure.

Long golden hair, blue-green eyes.

Aglaia.

The leader of the Golden Clan, the queen who gave her heart to protect Ohma.

She emerged from the golden light.

It's like waking up from a long afternoon nap.

She looked around, then at Xing, and finally her gaze settled on Xi Lian.

"Where?"

Aglaia's voice still carried that unique authority, but when she looked around, there was a hint of bewilderment in it.

"Is this...outer heavens?"

"Ha, you've never even seen anything beyond the heavens. You truly are a foolish golden nymph."

At that moment, Xia appeared beside Aglaia.

He looked disdainful.

At the same time, my attention was immediately drawn to the train.

A train traveling through space...

interesting.

Aglaia ignored the green caterpillar and muttered to herself.

"We...succeeded?"

"It's a success!"

He rushed over and gave her a big hug.

Even though Aglaia was taller than her, and even though the other woman possessed that awe-inspiring divinity.

She doesn't care.

Hug me first, then we'll talk.

"Welcome to the Starry Sky Train, seamstress."

"Ichihoshi said with a smile."

"This will be your new home from now on."

Aglaia paused for a moment.

then.

A relaxed smile finally appeared on her perpetually tense face.

She reached out and gently patted Hoshino's back.

"Thanks."

"Thanks for your hard work."

But it's not over yet.

Hoshino released Aglaia, turned around, and waved her hand again.

"Next!"

"Kazejin!"

A gentle breeze swept through the carriage.

Countless pink petals appeared out of thin air, swirling and falling.

Amidst the rain of petals, a petite figure came into view.

She had pink and blue gradient pigtails, wore a red dress, and was holding a cute little doll in her hand.

"oops?"

Feng Jin blinked her clear green eyes, looking completely bewildered.

"Wasn't I mending the sky with the eyes of dawn and dusk?"

"Why did it suddenly become so bright?"

She saw stars.

His eyes lit up instantly.

"Grey Treasure!"

She cheered and pounced on him.

It clung to Xing like a little bird.

I missed you so much!

"Waaaah, patching up the sky is so tiring! I want to drink milk tea!"

Xing was knocked back two steps by her, but a helpless yet doting smile appeared on her face.

"it is good."

"I'll buy it for you."

"Buy a large."

"Add pearls too!"

Feng Jin pressed her advantage.

"add."

Xing nodded.

"Add coconut jelly too!"

"add."

Seeing this, Hoshi's smile stretched almost to his ears.

Cool.

So cool.

This kind of happy ending is the script she wanted!

"Keep going, keep going!"

She felt full of energy.

Even though the memories in my mind are fading away little by little, even though that feeling of emptiness is constantly eroding me.

But as long as I see these people standing alive in front of me.

Worth it.

It was all worth it.

"Sai Fei'er!"

"Stop hiding! I know where you are!"

Stop with your deceptive tricks!

A soft laugh drifted through the air.

"Oh."

"We've been discovered."

A gold coin tumbled in the air, making a crisp, clinking sound.

Followed by.

A figure with short silver hair and cat ears jumped down from the ceiling.

It landed silently.

Just like a real cat.

Sai Fei'er.

That cunning demigod, that phantom thief who transformed himself into lies to protect the flame.

She squatted on the table, wagging her long cat tail.

His blue, slightly upturned eyes held a hint of cunning and a touch of cynicism.

"Yo."

She waved her claws at Hoshino.

"You're quite capable, Miss Savior."

"They actually managed to get us out of that godforsaken place."

"You really lost out on this deal."

"deficit?"

Hoshino raised an eyebrow.

"Why do I feel like I've hit the jackpot?"

"With so much free labor suddenly available, there will be someone to clean the trains, someone to cook meals, and someone to take the blame in case of a fight."

"I call this a long-term investment, understand?"

Sai Fei'er was stunned for a moment.

Then he burst out laughing.

"interesting."

"That's really interesting."

"Alright, I'll let you off the hook since you've been working so hard."

She jumped off the table and walked up to Hoshino.

He reached out and patted her newborn right hand.

"From now on... you can use these claws."

"make a deal."

Hoshi gave her a high five.

Next up is the butterfly.

That Styx maiden who always carried a faint sadness and dared not touch life.

She emerged from a swarm of black butterflies.

Her long purple hair cascaded down her back, and she gracefully curtsied, holding up the hem of her skirt in her hand.

"Your Mightiness."
