My Journey Through Honkai: Star Rail's Affixes Chapter 5

Dan Heng nodded, and a hint of awkwardness appeared on the girl's face.

"Um... I'm sorry, it was our fault."

The girl wasn't one to dither. Knowing it was her mistake, she apologized immediately.

"Sorry."

Dan Heng also gave a slight bow, offering his apologies.

Liuge's mouth twitched, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, this time he received a physical item. Otherwise, his reputation as a pervert would truly be cemented.

"Speaking of which, what are you two?"

As Liuge asked, the two people in front of him exchanged a glance. Then, the pink-haired girl faced Liuge, made a scissor gesture with her right hand in front of her cheek, and showed a brilliant smile.

"We are Nameless from the Astral Express. We rushed here because we received a distress signal from Herta Space Station."

"My name is March 7th. I love taking pictures during my travels and experiencing unforgettable memories."

"Dan Heng!"

One introduced himself with overflowing enthusiasm, while the other was as indifferent as water.

Hearing Dan Heng's words, March 7th was a little displeased. She then introduced him to Liuge.

"His name is Dan Heng. On our Express, he serves as both a Guardian and a Keeper of the Archive."

Liuge listened happily to March 7th's chatter, not feeling annoyed at all. Instead, he felt very lighthearted.

After all, she was a young, lively, and beautiful girl.

"By the way, who are you?"

"Me? My name is Liuge. I'm an unregistered resident of Herta Space Station. For some unknown reason, I closed my eyes and opened them to find myself here, just in time to encounter an Antimatter Legion attack. I've been incredibly unlucky."

Liuge responded with self-deprecation.

March 7th silently nodded at Liuge's reply.

"That is indeed quite unlucky."

As for Dan Heng, he became a little interested in Liuge's words.

Closed his eyes and opened them, and traveled from one place to another?

Was it the effect of a wondrous item? Or some other reason?

"I even suspect it was Aeon Aha playing a prank on me! But, on second thought, it's unlikely. How could a dignified Aeon be so bored!"

Liuge's words almost made March 7th burst out laughing.

Indeed, how could a dignified Aeon be so bored?

But while March 7th was laughing, Liuge's expression became extremely stiff. Because the moment he had dismissed that possibility, he seemed to hear someone say, "How embarrassing."

Wait, Aha, are you serious! Did you have something to do with me transmigrating into this world?!

There's no doubt about it, the one who would say "how embarrassing" is most likely a certain Aeon of Joy.

But why! Why drag me, a programmer who's neither here nor there, to this Honkai: Star Rail world, instead of so many others!

Before Liuge could ponder further, March 7th looked at the unconscious gray-haired girl on the ground with confusion.

Dan Heng, standing nearby, heard this and frowned slightly. He then checked the girl's pulse and breathing. They were very weak.

"Something's not right. Her pulse and breathing are very weak. She needs artificial respiration."

Dan Heng looked up at Liuge and March 7th and said.

"Eh, but I don't know how! Maybe Dan Heng, you can do it?"

"You can try. I'll guide you!"

Liuge interjected from the side.

"Why don't you try it! You found her first."

"Ah, such a good thing falls to me? Then get out of the way, let me do it!"

"Cough, cough, I think I'm awake now!"

007 Star-Shattering Grand Lapis Sword

Liuge looked at the gray-haired girl on the ground who had opened her eyes and was holding her head with a bewildered expression. He was filled with disappointment.

He had thought he would get to show off his extensive experience with artificial respiration, but it ended before he could even put it into practice.

"You're awake! Can you hear me?"

March 7th looked at the awakened gray-haired girl with a look of surprise.

However, seeing the girl's dazed and helpless expression, she couldn't help but feel a hint of worry.

This child seems a bit off.

"My head is a little dizzy."

The girl shook her head, responding to March 7th.

"Then do you remember your name? You haven't lost your memory like in those novels, have you!"

Hearing the girl's answer, March 7th's worried expression deepened.

Although Dan Heng had already pointed out to Liuge and March 7th that the girl's coordinates were not recorded on the space station, making her clearly an undocumented individual, wasn't there another undocumented person right here?

So, that wasn't important. What was important was, who was this girl? And how did she get here?

"My name is Stelle. I only remember this is my name. As for anything else... I have no recollection."

Stelle shook her head again, trying to clear her mind.

"I see!" March 7th exchanged a look with Dan Heng, then turned to Stelle. "If you don't mind, why don't you come with us for now? Herta Space Station is being attacked by the Antimatter Legion, and you don't seem to be in a good state either. I'm worried."

March 7th looked at Stelle and extended the invitation.

"I don't mind that, but can you explain what Herta Space Station is? And what is the Antimatter Legion?"

Stelle shook her head. This time, her brain seemed to be functioning properly, and her eyes became much clearer.

"Herta Space Station is the place we are currently in. It belongs to Ms. Herta."

March 7th briefly explained Herta Space Station.

Liuge, standing nearby, silently added in his mind, The actual person in charge is the rich lady Asta. Herta is just a figurehead.

"As for the Antimatter Legion, they are the enforcers of the Destruction Aeon Nanook. If I had to compare them, they're like a pack of rabid dogs that bite anyone they encounter."

"Then, who are you guys?"

"We are members of the Astral Express, and we came here on a commission from the station master of Herta Space Station, Asta, to provide aid. As for him..."

March 7th looked at Liuge, who had been listening silently by her side, with a hint of confusion.

"Um, Liuge. Why aren't you saying anything?"

"I'm just as clueless as you are! So, I'm listening to your introduction to understand the situation."

Even though he knew everything, Liuge chose to remain silent.

"My name is Liuge, an ordinary programmer."

"Programmer?"

Dan Heng and March 7th both had dark lines on their faces.

What programmer could be attacked by a mob and come out completely unharmed?

"That's right, a programmer! A very mobile programmer, a programmer who inexplicably appears here whenever they move."

Liuge said with a calm expression.

Damn you, Aha!

"Oh!"

Stelle nodded, having a deeper impression of Liuge than March 7th and Dan Heng.

After all, he was the one who had actively given her artificial respiration, causing her to suddenly open her eyes.

"Alright, the introductions are pretty much done, right? If it's okay with you, shouldn't we go out and meet up with the others?"

Liuge suddenly spoke, breaking the silence and re-energizing the atmosphere.

"Yeah, let's go. This isn't a place to linger. Let's get out of here first."

"Let's go. Let's head back to the main control room. Station Master Asta and the others from the Astral Express are all there."

With that, Dan Heng led the way out of the compartment.

Liuge glanced at the two girls in front of him, then casually picked up a baseball bat glowing with a faint blue light from the side and handed it to Stelle.

"You just woke up and don't have any weapons for self-defense. I see you have a connection with this, so I'll give it to you."

"Hey, isn't this thing ownerless property here? Why are you acting like you're the owner!"

March 7th protested, hands on her hips.

"Then should I put this bat back?"

"Uh, you should keep it!"

March 7th chuckled and scratched her cheek.

Indeed, having a weapon and not having one were two completely different concepts, especially since it wasn't safe outside.

"Okay!" Stelle took the baseball bat, and a feeling welling up from the depths of her heart made her swing it a few times involuntarily.

"See? I told you this thing had a connection with her, and you didn't believe me!"

Liuge poked March 7th's cheek, his face full of an expression that demanded an apology.

"Hey, stop poking my face! Don't you know you can't just touch a beautiful girl's cheeks?"

March 7th was a little annoyed and slapped Liuge's hand away.

"Then... should I rub it for you?"

"Not an option either!!!"

After saying that, March 7th was the first to walk out of the compartment, but the next moment she poked her head back in and shouted at Stelle, "Stelle, hurry up!"

Stelle and Liuge exchanged a glance, seeming to realize they were kindred spirits, and shared a knowing smile.

As they walked out of the compartment, Liuge found that Dan Heng had already disappeared. Only March 7th was still calling out to the two of them ahead.

"Stop calling out, aren't you afraid you'll attract the Mara-Struck Soldiers too?"

Liuge and Stelle followed March 7th, feeling a bit helpless.

"It's fine, the Mara-Struck Soldiers on this path have already been cleared by Dan Heng and me."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and a Guardian Shadow appeared in the passage in front of the three of them.

"...Miss March 7th, do you have a talent called 'poisonous healing'?"

Liuge's words caused Stelle beside him to nod in agreement.

"I do not!"

March 7th summoned her weapon, a bow and arrow condensed from [Six-Phase Ice], and struck a fighting pose.

Stelle, meanwhile, quietly took out her baseball bat. She handled it with such smooth familiarity, it was as if she hadn't just picked it up.

As for Liuge, he had already quietly distanced himself from the two, hiding behind cover and shouting.

"Go on, Galactic Bat-Man. Give that thing a serious lesson with your bat!"

"And, March 7th, go for it! Use your ultimate move, the [Star-Shattering Grand Lapis Sword], to show that Guardian Shadow how amazing I am!"

At this moment, March 7th, who was ready to attack, nearly stumbled upon hearing Liuge's words.

"Hey, Liuge! Why are you just standing there watching? Come on! Also, how did you know I've been trying to practice that move!"

Liuge silently squatted behind the cover, saying nothing. However, his expression made March 7th itch with annoyance.
