I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Only Galaxy Baseball Star raised his head, exuding a magnanimous air of "I have no objection".

The atmosphere seemed to have become strange.

Bronya felt very innocent.

"What's wrong? Although Kripper Castle covers a large area, it has only been inhabited by my mother and me. We lack more furniture and daily necessities, and it will take some time to purchase them and set them in the corresponding rooms. I hope that Lord Huayi can have the best resting environment."

Saving the world, doesn't it get tiring? Shouldn't you get a good night's sleep?

Why are you looking at me like that?

"Uh."

Hiluva carefully considered her words.

"Then Cocolia should..."

Should I warm the bed?

She couldn't bring herself to say the second half of the sentence, nor could she think of any more conservative words, and she was starting to lose her composure.

Cocolia is indeed very charming as a woman.

From another perspective, establishing a close relationship with Hua Yi would benefit Cocolia herself, and even the city.

It wouldn't be a big problem to say that the Great Guardian, who had committed a sin, sacrificed himself for Beloborg.

Their lives were saved, their sorrows were saved, their homes were saved, and the whole world was saved.

It goes beyond simply being described as a life-saving grace.

But now Cocolia is so weak, and her face is swollen from my punch—

Ah, when I punched Cocolia twice in the face, it really wasn't for any ulterior motive, like trying to replace her or anything like that!

"My mother lives with me, of course."

Bronya then realized how easily her previous remarks could be misunderstood, and her face flushed crimson.

"I... I didn't mean anything by it."

Hey, hey, hey, why are you explaining yourself? The more you explain, the more awkward it gets.

Among the women present were many mature, older sister characters, including Cocolia, Hilva, Natasha, and Himeko.

But their maturity doesn't include love!

When it comes to victories in love, pioneers in accomplishing major life events, and truly mature women, there is only Galaxy Baseball Man.

Xing felt she should stand up and make a statement.

For example, you could say, "It's okay, you can have other meanings, no need to test me, I agree, let's send Cocolia to Huayi's room now! Or should we say let's send Huayi to Cocolia's room?" Or, "Huayi is very nice to girls, don't worry, I won't ask her to call me 'sister'."

"without……"

As soon as Galaxy Bat Man uttered a single word, Hua Yi covered his mouth.

"I'm fine with just staying in a regular room, it's no problem."

"Okay, okay!"

Bronya was in a terrible state as she pushed Cocolia, who was on a hospital bed, out of the office.

Hiluva was also quite embarrassed, so she simply followed and fled the scene.

Then it was Natasha's turn to speak.

"Hua Yi, I have something I want to tell you."

She also made some startling remarks.

You want to talk to me alone?

You want to confess your feelings, huh?

Seele's eyes widened, surprised by Natasha's initiative, and a little melancholy for some reason.

"It's about Cocolia's condition."

The doctor tried hard to control her facial expressions, displaying the formality and seriousness expected of a doctor.

Has the atmosphere developed to the point where even casually saying something to Hua Yi can lead to misunderstandings?

"Hoshino, Himeko, and March 7th, please go to the hotel and bring your luggage over. I'd also like to ask Xiao to take care of the mineral samples and paper reports from my room."

Chapter 205 Illness

Bronya and Shiluva are the patient's relatives and friends.

They pushed the hospital bed out of the council hall, and after taking Cocolia back to her room and settling her in, they returned to find out more details from Natasha.

This was perfectly normal, but Natasha looked at Hua Yi with questioning eyes, while Bronya and Shiluva also looked at him with pleading expressions.

The power of the King of Belloborg is unlimited. If Hua Yi holds any objection, even Cocolia's adopted daughter and close friend cannot know about her illness.

“Bronya remains the Iron Guard Commander and will soon be crowned the new High Warden, inheriting this seven-hundred-year-old title; Hilva should return to the ranks of the Builders and take on the responsibility of scientific research, as the future development of Beloborg cannot be separated from you.”

To avoid things from developing into a situation where he could make all the decisions on his own, Hua Yi spoke earnestly.

“Natasha maintains order in the lower districts without seeking fame or fortune; her heart and abilities are both top-notch. You can handle the affairs of Belloborg yourselves; there’s no need to ask for my consent for everything. After I leave Belloborg, I may not be able to maintain interstellar communication at all times. Are you just going to wait around then?”

Leaving Belleburg...

Hua Yi's words caused the three to freeze in their tracks, instinctively feeling resistance.

The future, which was originally full of hope, suddenly became hazy and obscure.

The upper and lower zones have long been isolated from each other, and the people on both sides are somewhat unfamiliar with each other. In particular, Bronya and Natasha each hold high positions, and even though the former is full of guilt and helps to handle the Earthfire documents, when they actually communicate, they always feel that there is a distance that is not so easy to cross.

But now, they have reached a consensus and do not want Hua Yi to leave, so they are intentionally skipping the topic.

"Did I worsen Cocolia's injuries by punching her twice?"

"No, it's not serious."

Sylva had barely managed to breathe a sigh of relief, and Bronya's expression hadn't fully calmed down when Dr. Natasha's next words plunged their hearts into despair.

"What's really serious is the erosion of the star core. I suspect that many years ago, as early as when Cocolia was selected and raised as the successor to the Great Guardian, there were signs that the star core energy was slowly eroding her body, and it has continued to this day."

"...After Mother took off her gloves at Yongdong Ridge, I realized that the hand that had gently stroked my head in my memory was now covered in ice, and parts of my flesh seemed to be completely frozen."

"It's not as simple as the palm of your hand."

Natasha's expression was serious.

In addition to treating patients, a doctor's responsibilities also include accurately describing their condition.

"The few ice crystals on Cocolia's skin are just the most common symptoms of star core erosion. Her body is probably in complete chaos inside, with an unbalanced nervous system and extremely slow blood circulation, falling below the lower limit of normal human parameters."

"!"

“I’m not sure if she can still feel pain in the normal sense, because with problems with blood flow and heartbeat, Cocolia would either be in pain all the time and have long been numb, or she would have completely lost the ability to feel pain—what is certain is that she has a problem with her sense of taste and has long since lost it completely.”

"Well……"

Bronya let out a painful groan, clutching her head with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes.

My mother's health has deteriorated to this extent?

And I...I...I knew absolutely nothing about it.

Previously, the girl always seemed very strong.

Even though her position as commander of the Silvermane Iron Guards gave her access to all frontline battle reports and an understanding of how tense the situation in Belloborg was, she remained steadfast and never showed any weakness in front of outsiders.

Now, she has neither become weak nor disregarded her duty as the Great Guardian, placing Cocolia in a higher position than the people of Beloborg.

Bronya was in a safe haven because Hua Yi was by her side, and she was unable to pretend.

"Mother……"

"[Storage] can seal the star core, and naturally it can also restrain the energy that the star core is leaking out. Cocolia is not beyond saving, don't cry."

How could a savior who has saved the entire world be helpless against a single individual?

He is always incredibly reliable.

Hua Yi reached out and wiped away Bronya's tears, which were on the verge of falling.

"Including the sense of smell and other damaged sensory systems, as well as the nervous system, once all the star core power in Cocolia's body is removed, and a medical pod is brought in from the Black Tower Space Station, it can also be repaired and healed."

The fact that Belloberg couldn't solve the problem doesn't mean that other forces in space are helpless.

Berloberg's common sense may not still be applicable in the context of the universe.

One of the Star Core Spirits even carries an unsealed Star Core within its body, which is far more exaggerated than Cocolia's ability to receive Star Core power remotely. Yet it remains full of vitality, and its very existence proves that "rules are meant to be broken."

Hua Yi possessed a natural air of composure and handled matters with ease.

The three of them stared at him, momentarily lost in thought.

"Alright, I'll try to expel the energy that's eroding Cocolia right away. I've actually done quite a bit of research on both [Preservation] and Star Core Power. One treatment should at least remove the ice crystals from her hands."

Thank you.

Hiluva and Bronya felt that the word was utterly inadequate.

They should have offered a more sincere expression of gratitude, but in their haste, neither of them could think of what would be considered genuine, and they stood there stammering.

Natasha's eyes darted around, and she had been gazing at Hua Yi for quite some time.

I can't take my eyes off it.

As a doctor, Natasha should have been captivated by the fact that [5.1 Storage] could also be used to treat patients, and that there were incredibly advanced medical pods in space.

She simply looked at Hua Yi, at this great hero who always seemed to create miracles, capable of anything, turning tragedies around and making the world a better place.

Are you planning to wait in the hallway?

"Ah?...Yes! It concerns the power of the star core, and it involves operating on a human body. The level of precision required far exceeds that of major surgery. We can't disturb you, lest we distract you. We'll wait outside."

The doctor made the arrangements, and Silva and Bronya naturally did not question the professionals. They waited in the corridor, even breathing very softly.

Only when Hua Yi entered the room did his gaze meet Cocolia's, who was leaning against the headboard.

Chapter 206 The Confidence to Say Thank You

With the door closed, the interior becomes a separate and private space.

I still remember when we first met. The Great Guardian was elegant and mature, and his every move exuded the aura of a superior. Even when facing the mysterious visitors from outer space, he did not lose his composure and maintained rationality and calmness during the negotiations.

Now——

Cocolia could only endure Hua Yi's gaze for less than two breaths before lowering her head, letting her blonde hair obscure her eyes.

That noble and elegant face had lost all its majesty, leaving only an undisguised and unconcealable pallor.

This goes far beyond the category of being sickly or weak. Cocolia's ability to survive for so long despite being eroded by the star's core is an exceptional case even in the field of cosmic medicine.

It's not that she possesses a constitution similar to Xing's, capable of withstanding the power of the Star Core, nor is it true, as the Star Core claimed when it seduced her, that the Great Guardians of past generations were allies with her, watching over and helping each other.

Simply because Belleburg is truly a city of protection.

A worthless fellow who betrayed the Guardian and failed to inherit the beliefs of his predecessors will naturally feel ashamed and embarrassed when faced with a hero who did better than any previous Great Guardian and saved the entire world.

She lowered her head, unsure of what to say.

Cocolia was aware of her physical condition. Since Natasha had examined her carefully, she must have told Hua Yi that the star core erosion had been going on for many years and had not started on Everwinter Ridge.

How much longer can I live?

This is not a problem she cares about.

But there is one person... no, two people who still hold a place in Cocolia's heart.

“Bronya is a good girl. Even when I sealed off the lower districts, all she did was argue with me. She would faithfully carry out orders as long as I didn’t intend to change my mind. Hilva once argued with me about the Star Core, but she didn’t resort to violence. She left the Builders in a huff and started running the Mechanical House.”

"That's what you said in your first sentence."
