Himeko glanced at the pile of clothes around her that had been stacked into a small mountain, and couldn't help but speak up.

"Why don't you go back and rest? You've had enough."

"That's really enough."

"The last set, the last set!"

"Let's leave after we've tried it!"

Ryusuke continued to press the clothes he was holding against Himeko.

He smiled warmly, his eyes full of doting affection, showing no sign of any distance between him and Himeko.

Himeko pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed wearily.

"You said the same thing three sets ago, we really don't need that many."

The shop assistant watched this scene and covered her mouth, secretly laughing.

"Miss, your father dotes on you."

Almost simultaneously, Himeko and Ryusuke shuddered as soon as the shop assistant finished speaking.

Ryusuke's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly masked it.

He smiled again, a smile as gentle as before, but with a hint of distance in his eyes.

"Never mind, let's just wrap them all up."

Ryusuke casually tossed the clothes onto the hanger and pointed at the mountain of clothes.

The shop assistant was taken aback, while Himeko let out a long sigh of relief.

"Do you want me to help you get to the train?"

Ryusuke looked at Himeko with a smile.

Himeko paused for a moment, then looked at Ryusuke and pondered for a long time.

She suddenly pointed to the sky with a smile and slowly spoke to Ryusuke.

"No need. With the Trailblazer built by Sivir, I can just throw it onto the Trailblazer and let it take it back for me."

Ryusuke's expression remained unchanged; he simply looked up at the sky in the direction Himeko was pointing.

Oh, I see.

So, the one that had been locking onto them all along was the Trailblazer, built by Sivir...

This is really a big problem.

Chapter 422 "Ryusuke": How can that be the same!

"Oh, right, and there was that kid at the academy who looked a lot like you the other day..."

As Ryusuke spoke, he took out his phone, opened the photo album, and showed it to Himeko.

Himeko glanced at it, and what caught her eye was long, fiery red hair.

She paused for a moment, then looked away.

"I... I'm probably not that quiet."

Ryusuke was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"That's true."

"I remember when you were a kid and still relatively healthy, you used to ride your motorcycle around racing. It really scared me..."

Himeko and Ryusuke walked towards the train station, with Ryusuke rambling on and on about things from the past.

Himeko listened silently.

Ryusuke hasn't had much going on lately. The only exciting thing he's had is probably going to Onphalos to attend the ceremony when he transformed into Guiji not long ago.

The raging fire that had been burning for countless lifetimes truly startled him.

Of course, Ryusuke would never tell Himeko about this.

He simply picked and chose what happened at Nissō Paradise and confided in Himeko.

Himeko remained somewhat silent throughout the journey.

"...My tenosynovitis has gotten worse lately; sometimes I can't even hold a pen properly because my hand is shaking..."

Ryusuke suddenly stopped talking.

Because they had already arrived in front of the Star Train.

Ryusuke simply turned around, his gaze towards Himeko filled with affection.

"Never mind, Himeko, don't think I'm nagging, I just..."

I just miss you so much.

Ryusuke smiled but didn't say the last few words.

He picked up the clothes he had bought for Himeko and handed them to her.

Himeko's eyes flickered for a moment, but she still reached out and took all the clothes that Ryusuke had bought.

"I've been the principal of Hui Shi Academy for so many years, and you're my only daughter, so don't be stingy with money..."

As Ryusuke said this, his gaze involuntarily flickered with guilt.

"Although our family's assets... are almost all gone."

"But no matter what, you finally manage to come home, and I won't be able to use the money I've earned..."

"All right."

Himeko looked at Ryusuke with a smile.

"You should save your meager salary for your coffin."

"Now, as the navigator of the train crew, I am not short of money at all."

"And those kids... are quite good at making money too."

Thinking of the gift Xing had given her when she got on the bus, Himeko couldn't help but smile.

Although she never touched Xing's eight billion credits.

Ryusuke was speechless. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he just sighed.

Himeko is so outstanding that Ryusuke feels useless...

Of course, if what's in front of me is really Himeko...

Whether it's "Return to Solitude" or "Ryusuke"...

They should all feel genuine joy.

Ryusuke forced a smile at Himeko.

That smile... wasn't very attractive.

Himeko pursed her lips, looked at Ryusuke without saying a word.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and the atmosphere became slightly somber.

Ryusuke put his hands behind his back, rubbed them together, and his eyes gleamed.

"Himeko-nee! You're back!"

A light, cheerful voice, tinged with laughter, rang out from the train, instantly piercing the somber atmosphere.

Ryusuke looked in the direction of the sound and saw the closed door of the train suddenly open, and March 7 flew out like a swallow.

She lunged directly at Himeko.

Ji Zi didn't have time to put down what she was holding. She hurriedly turned around, picked up the clothes, and rushed to catch March 7.

Looking at March in her arms, Himeko spoke with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"Little March, don't be reckless, we still have guests."

guest?

March 7th tilted her head and glanced at Ryusuke.

She blinked, about to speak.

A steady voice took the lead and spoke first.

"Hello, I am Walter Young."

Upon hearing Uncle Yang's voice, March 7th withdrew his intention to speak and instead curiously began to observe...

The man in front of me had long, fiery red hair, just like Himeko.

Ryusuke smiled and nodded at Yang.

"Hello, I am Ryusuke Murata. Thank you for taking care of Himeko during this time."

Walter Young felt a slight unease upon hearing Ryusuke's name, but his expression remained unchanged.

Compared to Otto, Ryusuke is nothing.

Only Otto's face, which clearly indicated he wasn't a good person, could make Uncle Yang react!

He is Walter Young!

His ability to cultivate inner strength is quite remarkable!

Walter Young spoke with a smile.

"It's not so much about taking care of her, but rather that Himeko took care of me and everyone else on the train."

Would you like to take a ride on the train?

Walter Young stepped aside, raised his hand, pointed towards the train, and extended an invitation to Ryusuke.

Ryusuke didn't rush to say he wanted to get on the train; he just glanced at Himeko first.

Himeko's brows furrowed slightly, but she quickly smoothed them out and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
