I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Hua Yi dragged a chair over and sat down in front of the hospital bed, scrutinizing Cocolia with great interest. His tone and expression were cautious, a stark contrast to Cocolia's earlier demeanor.

"What, do you think I'm coveting the title of King of Beloborg, planning to seize power, cultivate new confidants, and then make a move on Bronya and Sylva, the two girls connected to you?"

"No! I... I just wanted to say that if you're willing to let Bronya and Silva help you with the trivial matters of Cripple Castle, they'll definitely be of help."

"So you're emphasizing that Bronya is obedient, loyal, and that Hilva, who seems very opinionated at first glance, just silently endures it even when she's furious, without trying to forcefully change the new power structure. At this point, your mind is working quite fast, and you even know to recommend an assistant—to lend a hand."

Faced with the savior, Cocolia became obedient and compliant, extending her hand as instructed.

Even though some of her flesh was frozen and covered with ice crystal fragments, giving her an eerie icy blue color, her skin, which had never shown any abnormalities, remained fair and delicate, creating a stark contrast.

Without further ado, Hua Yi directly used his protective power to construct a microscopic barrier, causing the star core energy condensed within the Great Guardian's body to be released.

"Woo..."

Cocolia let out a muffled groan. This energy contest was much more painful than being punched twice by Hilva.

"It seems your pain receptors haven't completely shut down yet."

Seeing that the Great Guardian's already pale face tensed even more, Hua Yi quickened his control over [Preservation].

"I'm helping you expel the stellar core energy. It's only right that you suffer. Just bear with it."

"...Is there any hope for me?"

"That depends on your performance afterward. Even if you step down from the position of High Protector after the Star Core Crisis, your ordinary interactions with Bronya will serve as a lesson in how to conduct yourself. You can't let it have a negative impact on the next High Protector. Also, you need to apologize to Sylva properly."

Cocolia asked, "Am I even going to survive?" Hua Yi replied, "How are you going to live?"

Realizing his subtext, the Great Guardian opened his mouth, overwhelmed with mixed feelings and countless emotions, yet he didn't know what to say.

"I'll treat the most severely eroded parts first. Once you feel better in a couple of days, we'll continue with the next round of treatment. Only after the power of the star core is completely removed will we address issues like restoring your sense of taste. By the way, has Himeko been treating you to coffee quite often these days?"

"Yes."

"She must be quite happy. It's not easy to find someone with a loss of taste, so she can drink even the bitterest coffee."

"bitter?"

"Himeko's coffee is always super concentrated, to the point that an ordinary person would faint if they drank it. Don't think she's playing a trick on you. Given her kindness, she probably noticed that the host of the train crew, who can be considered a courtesy train, had lost his sense of taste and was in poor health. She most likely secretly added some nutrients to his coffee, hoping it would help you."

"……Thanks."

"You're speaking so softly, you don't seem to have much confidence."

Hua Yi examined Cocolia's palm, which had recovered from its icy state, revealing only deep purple flesh. The protective barrier transformed into a perfectly timed miniature flame, repairing the frozen tissue.

"Today's treatment ends here. Continuing it will disrupt your body's balance and do you more harm than good."

"Is someone like me worth your effort to save? 933"

What kind of answer do you want to hear?

"..."

“Bronya is understandably saddened by the loss of her mother, and Sylva is inevitably going through a mental ordeal after losing her best friend. Since even the people of the Lower Districts haven’t considered killing you, and the most radical ones have only demanded that the High Warden abdicate, in the beautiful ending I’m pursuing, it’s clearly more appropriate for you to live than to die.”

When Cocolia asked the question, she raised her head. Hua Yi only looked at her for a moment before her purple eyes looked away again, losing all their majesty.

"It's another undeniable force, and the Amber King has failed to protect Beloborg. I'm personally quite curious to see how the high and mighty Great Guardian will react to this outcome. It's quite interesting to watch now."

Hua Yi opened the door, returned to the corridor, and informed the three people waiting outside that everything was going as expected and that the erosion of Cocolia had improved.

Bronya ran into the room overjoyed, and Natasha followed to check on the patient's condition.

However, Hiluva didn't go in; instead, she closed the door from the outside.

Now only she and Hua Yi were left in the corridor.

"Thank you."

Hiluva's thanks were not loud, but they were quite confident.

Because she kissed Hua Yi's lips directly.

Chapter 207 escaped, and the other one escaped too.

While her best friend was in the hospital and Bronya was taking care of her, she gave Hua Yi her first kiss, which seemed a bit like sneaking away.

However, this is the most direct way to convey one's feelings.

With her striking blonde hair accented by a touch of blue, exuding a rock 'n' roll vibe, Sylvanas, a contemporary of Cocolia, is undoubtedly a mature, older sister type of character.

She once served as the brains of the Silvermane Iron Guard, and her achievements as a top researcher proved her talent. After falling out with her best friend, she withdrew from the power center of Belloberg and ran the Mechanical House on her own. She also spoke of her acceptance of life's ups and downs after experiencing the world's splendor and returning to silence.

However, none of these can provide a powerful boost when lips touch and a sweet kiss is exchanged.

In just a few dozen seconds, before the Traveler's body could even register the need for breathing, the shame that flowed from his heart through his limbs and bones made Hiluva unable to hold on any longer.

She pulled her head back, secretly observing Hua Yi's expression. To make sure he wasn't angry about her "offense," she quickly slipped away in her high-heeled boots.

If they stay any longer, even mature women will feel lost and disoriented.

Escaping may be shameful, but it's effective.

Hiluva ran away, but Hua Yi couldn't follow suit and left without a word.

Otherwise, if Bronya and Natasha, who had entered the room, came out and found that Cocolia's best friend was nowhere to be found, having not followed them into the room in the first place and not remaining in the hallway afterward, it would inevitably lead to the misunderstanding that "she still strongly dislikes Cocolia and doesn't want to see her."

The responsibility of explaining the truth fell on Hua Yi.

A moment later, seeing her mother's hand, now free of ice crystal fragments and restored to normal flesh and blood, Bronya was completely certain that Hua Yi could indeed save her and was truly willing to do so. Before she could even savor her joy, Bronya hurriedly retreated back outside.

The young girl was clearly not as mature as Shiluva.

She wanted to express her sincere gratitude to Hua Yi, so she rushed out without having thought about what to do.

Then the "staring contest" began.

Hua Yi was pondering whether or not to tell Bronya the truth: her sister Hilva had already set an example by expressing her gratitude with a kiss.

Coincidentally, I also really like this way of expressing gratitude, so you know what to do next.

Bronya's face turned red first.

She couldn't read minds and guess how wildly the great hero's thoughts were wandering; he was just blushing because he remembered those misleading remarks he had made earlier.

"You...I...~"

"Hiluva had to leave first."

"Oh."

Bronya had no time to dwell on Silva's hasty departure.

The girl's eyes lit up when she realized that the train crew had all moved to the Goethe Hotel and there weren't many people left in Kripperburg, and since she was familiar with the layout of the place.

"Let me tidy up your room!"

Yes, yes, I should try my best to make the Savior as comfortable as possible.

Bronya excitedly grabbed Hua Yi's hand and led him through the corridor, soon arriving at a room that was perfect in terms of size, lighting, and view.

Immediately afterwards, the girl, who was originally second only to Cocolia and was still an absolute upper-class figure in Belloborg even after Hua Yi saved the world, naturally became a maid.

"The curtains here are quite thick, mainly to block out the cold air and light from outside. Compared to the walls, even double-glazed windows feel cold to the touch, so the curtains serve to keep you warm. As for blocking out the light, you won't be woken up by the morning sun when the curtains are drawn—Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"No. It's impressive if a young and beautiful girl can skillfully manage household chores."

Hua Yi is skilled at communication; talking to him always makes people feel relaxed, and they unconsciously open up.

"Have you been taking care of yourself for a long time?"

Even though she is conscious, Bronya is willing to share her memories with the great hero.

“In the past, my mother took meticulous care of me. When I was a child, I even felt that the beautiful plots of fairy tales were monotonous and I hoped for more dramatic and exciting developments.”

"Later, as Cocolia was increasingly corrupted by the star core, the situation in Beloberg became more and more tense, and he could no longer care about you. This made the young girl grow up even faster."

"Hmm... I was confused about this for a while, wondering if I had done something wrong and made her angry. I tried to apologize, but I could never express my true feelings properly. Once it came to Belloberg's current situation, the already uncalm communication easily turned into an argument."

Bronya twirled her long gray hair with her fingers, a little embarrassed.

"Am I childish for arguing with my family?"

"That's what makes it cute."

"Cute?"

"It's about having very attractive elements and likable characteristics."

I like it!

Blood rushed to my head, turning my cheeks bright red, and my thoughts became a jumbled mess.

I need to respond; I must give a response.

Bronya kept encouraging herself.

"...I, I also think you're very cute."

goo.

Bronya, having exhausted her energy, fled in disarray after using the vocabulary she had just learned to express her feelings about Hua Yi.

"I will furnish the place and deliver household supplies as soon as possible to ensure your living experience in Cripperburg!"

"Okay, okay, actually, 'cute' and 'adorable' are somewhat similar, and are generally used to describe girls."

The girl ran very fast and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor. It's unknown whether she heard Teacher Hua Yi's supplementary instructions.

Even though neither of them expressed their gratitude with a kiss, their reaction was no less than that of Hiluva.

It seems that the mechanic's maturity has some effect, and Bronya is also more shy than expected when it comes to certain things.

The various expressions of a beautiful young woman, as long as they are not related to negative emotions, are all pleasing to the eye.

Compared to the title and power of the King of Belleberg, or other material rewards, this scene that only he could appreciate was what made Hua Yi happiest.

The room was large and quite well-furnished, with conditions far superior to the Goethe Hotel, one of the landmark buildings in the upper district.

Without fiddling with the various exquisite trinkets, Hua Yi went straight to the desk.

On the table lay the lance passed down through generations of the Great Guardians.

From the moment Amber King Cripper lowered his eyes, it was held by Star, and remained so until its return to Beloborg.

But after settling on a new residence, Galaxy Baseball Man put his lance back.

Fortunately, Hua Yi's Divine Meteor Sword was merely a weapon condensed from imaginary energy and did not possess any sword spirit or anything like that. Otherwise, he would have inevitably thrown a tantrum upon discovering that a junior was vying for his favor.

"Are you still there, Alisaland?"

But the lance has a spirit.

Chapter 208 The Mature Great Guardian is a Little Loli

"I'm here."

A gentle and soothing voice rang in Hua Yi's ears, as if a woman more mature than Cocolia and Bihiluva, and as beautiful as an elf, was walking gracefully towards him and whispering in his ear.

Alisaland, the great hero who oversaw the construction of Beloborg, the one who caused the miracle, the leader revered by the people of Beloborg, the first Great Guardian, and the one who created this title, the most legendary Great Guardian in the seven hundred years of the Eternal City.

The people of Belloborg had no way of knowing the truth about the star core after the cold wave and the rift, let alone guessing that the savior not only saved the world, but also allowed the legend from seven hundred years ago to continue.

Alisa, who has been bestowed with all sorts of glorious titles, knows best what Hua Yi has done.

It's not as simple as sealing the star core, saving the world, and attracting the attention of the star god.

In fact, this series of great achievements cannot be described as "simple".

Ironically, he took the glimpse of the Star God as part of his plan, striving to achieve a redemption that transcended timelines. This ambition and talent were beyond even the imagination of Alisa, who was once hailed as the one who caused the miracle.

Beyond the gentle voice, the first Great Guardian was already shaken to his core.

"Are you really not going to regret it? Giving the Amber King's lowered gaze to me and Xing... Even though the Star God is exalted and cannot be judged by common sense, if He knew that a mortal had dared to deceive the gods for 370 days, your [protection] future might be affected."

"In the known universe, there is no example of a star god deliberately making things difficult for someone."

Hua Yi sat down at his desk and examined the lance.
