A Person in Honkai: Star Rail, a Medic

"Got it, got it!"

Lin Nai swatted away Black Tower's hand, which felt like it was trying to get a free feel, and took two steps to the side.

Black Tower didn't seem to mind.

After all, she'd be able to touch… no, perform a detailed examination later.

"But I've only been gone a few months, and the space station's become like this?"

"I apologize, Ms. Black Tower!" Asta immediately straightened up. "This is my…"

"Alright, Asta, I know it's not entirely your fault. It's normal for many people not to anticipate such sudden situations."

Black Tower cut Asta off.

In her opinion, Asta had done well enough, and no one on the space station was injured.

Asta nodded, and then, at Black Tower's signal, left ahead to manage the overall situation on the space station.

Black Tower's return was also a shot in the arm for the space station's scientific staff.

"You're back, Black Tower."

At this moment, Kizuna walked over with Xing, March Seven, and Dan Heng.

Black Tower immediately noticed Xing.

Kizuna then introduced Xing to those beside her, "This is the true owner of the space station, Black Tower, the eighty-third member of the Genius Club."

Xing nodded.

Actually, she didn't understand what the Genius Club meant at all.

After all, she had only 'been born' not long ago.

Black Tower placed a hand on her hip and said with displeasure, "Introduce me properly, why bring up the club?"

"Aren't my extraordinary achievements much more impressive than being the eighty-third member?"

As she spoke, Black Tower also poked Lin Nai in the waist.

Lin Nai rolled her eyes.

Then, she clasped her hands together in front of her abdomen, cleared her throat, and announced loudly, "Ahem."

"Before you stands…"

"The one who, in youth, solved the 'lonely wave algorithm' and the 'Spark model conjecture,' and in adulthood, discovered the conversion method for Sigma baryons."

"In middle age, proposed the 'Black Tower sequence' and published a paper on rejuvenation."

"In old age, achieved rejuvenation. And in youth, once again unlocked the mysteries of Imaginary flow, captured an extraterrestrial Stellaris, and sealed it."

"Furthermore, she has saved her planet from the brink of destruction nineteen times and visited an Aeon twice. A genius, the renowned Ms. Black Tower."

"Hmph~" Black Tower proudly put her hands on her hips. "That's right! I am Black Tower!"

Kizuna showed a polite smile. Lin Nai must have been forced by Black Tower to memorize such a long introduction.

Lin Nai: When I was studying, Black Tower would make me memorize the broadcasts from the portraits in her office.

Xing scratched her head and thought for a few seconds.

She didn't seem to have any nicknames? After all, she was just a day-old baby.

In that case…

"Hello, I'm Stellaris Core."

"???" *N

Everyone stared at Xing in bewilderment.

No.

Who introduces themselves like that!

"Well… you're quite interesting," Black Tower said, blinking her eyes.

"So the Stellaris is this little brat now."

Black Tower, who had already learned the general situation from Lin Nai, sized Xing up.

How interesting…

Walking around Xing a few times, Black Tower clicked her tongue.

"Tsk, it's truly miraculous. To restrain this unactivated Stellaris and save Planet Blue from disaster, I sealed the Stellaris within the space station."

"Yet someone has returned to their roots, and managed it with this little brat's body… and it's particularly stable."

Black Tower looked at Lin Nai. "Does this have anything to do with you?"

"...A little?"

Watching from the side, it could be considered having some relation, right?

At the very least, he saw how Xing was born.

"I won't ask for specifics. Since you didn't say, it's either not important, or I'll find out eventually anyway."

Herta waved her hand and gestured for Xing to crouch down a little.

Although Xing was confused.

Seeing how much Lin Nai trusted Herta, she obediently crouched down.

Then...

Herta, using her doll-like hands, began to do whatever she pleased with the girl's face.

"Still quite tender..."

"Mmm..."

"Speaking of which, can I do some research on her?"

"Then Herta, you'll have to ask Xing for her opinion." Lin Nai reached out and grabbed Xing by the back of her neck.

She pulled Xing away from Herta's clutches, lifting her up.

Xing looked at Lin Nai, pointing at her face, "It hurts, it's uncomfortable."

"Is it... Shall I rub it for you?"

"Okay."

Xing nodded, obediently letting Lin Nai touch her. She even seemed to emit a cat-like purr.

This made Lin Nai rub Xing's chin with great interest.

So interesting!

It gave her the illusion of petting a small animal.

Herta's expression was a bit subtle. What was up with this kid? Was something a little off?

"So, kid, what do you say?"

"How much?" Xing, accepting Lin Nai's petting, looked at Herta.

"...Yo, this kid actually has a good head for business. I quite like her."

"Herta, don't bully her too much."

"Tch, I'm interested now, so I'm willing to indulge her. She has a Stellaris inside her body! How fascinating!"

Herta crossed her arms, proudly tilting her fair, delicate neck, which was as translucent and rosy as porcelain.

"Be grateful! I'm helping you, this is a service the Interastral Peace Corporation can't even buy!"

"Well, to translate Herta's words, she wants you to stay on the space station."

Lin Nai withdrew her hand and shifted her gaze to the Stellar Express stopped not far away. "Of course, you have another option."

Embark on a journey.

"The train?"

Xing followed Lin Nai's gaze. She had heard a lot from Kizuna when Lin Nai was calming the staff.

The Stellar Express.

The Nameless.

To explore.

Hmm...

It was a bit complicated, but she could understand it for now.

Chapter Thirty-Two · Xing: Lin Nai can become my...

Kizuna also spoke at this moment:

"Yes, Xing, you can come with us."

"The train and the Stellaris have had dealings with each other; what you're worried about is also the answer we're seeking."

"Besides... we can always come back and let Herta do her research. She's full of interest right now."

Herta nodded in agreement. "That's not bad, and it might even bring some novelty."

"When I don't need this kid, I won't bother... Honestly, dealing with one is enough trouble for me."

As she spoke, Herta didn't forget to playfully nudge Lin Nai beside her.

Lin Nai's mouth twitched.

She didn't object, though.

Herta had indeed put some effort into her matters.

Although most of it was directly handed over to Asta.

But that didn't matter.

"Speaking of the Stellar Express... Kizuna, this one will go with you guys then."

Herta pointed at Lin Nai and said to Kizuna.

The sudden remark.

Caused Lin Nai's expression to become one of surprise.

"Me? Go with the Stellar Express?"

"Yes," Herta nodded, stating with a serious expression, "Lin Nai, you need to grow."

After all these years.

Herta had observed Lin Nai under pressure twice and had a general understanding of the situation.

On the space station.

The destructive power Lin Nai displayed was limited to fist and foot combat and what was called the "halo."

But just now, Herta had watched from beginning to end.

If Lin Nai had any issues, she would have been prepared to intervene and drive away the Doomsday Beast.

However, Lin Nai was able to withstand an attack from the Doomsday Beast.

And then fired a super high-heat ray, killing it.

This meant that Lin Nai would grow and become stronger under dangerous circumstances!

This could be considered a small experiment.

If Lin Nai went out with the Express for a trip, perhaps they would return with new things for her to research.

"Besides, it's not like I'm not letting you come back."

Herta turned away, not looking at Lin Nai behind her, and said:
