Person in Honkai: Star Rail, Is a Healer Chapter 37

Stop.

Lin Nai looked behind him. He had lived here for many years.

To suddenly go on a long trip.

He still wasn't quite used to it…

But, whatever, it wasn't like he couldn't come back.

It was just that it might take a little longer.

"I'm off, Black Tower," Lin Nai said to the puppet by the door.

He didn't know if that guy could hear him.

But.

A farewell was still necessary.

That guy was probably still holed up in the office, modifying her Simulated Universe, right?

She probably wouldn't see him off then.

Shaking his head, Lin Nai grabbed a cowboy hat and put it on his head, then walked towards the platform.

Arriving at the Support Bay.

From afar, Lin Nai could see Kizuna and Xing standing in front of the Stellar Express.

Xing saw Lin Nai first and excitedly waved her hand!

Lin Nai waved back and, heading towards the platform, he rushed forward with a Gauss Acceleration.

In the blink of an eye.

Lin Nai stopped in front of Xing and Kizuna.

"Looks like I'm not late."

"Of course," Kizuna said with a smile. "Ready to go?"

"I've been ready for a long time. To embark on a journey, explore new worlds, and open up new territories."

"Is that so… Hmm, there's still time. Do you want to talk to them?"

Kizuna pointed to a spot not far away.

Lin Nai turned his head and saw a large group of people jogging over.

The path from the Support Bay to the platform was instantly blocked by the crowd.

This made Lin Nai freeze in surprise.

"Hoo… Sorry, Lin Nai, we're a little late," Arlan said, panting heavily.

"No, rather… why did you guys come over?"

Lin Nai asked, confused.

Because Lin Nai thought he'd be back in a while, so there was no need for goodbyes.

So he hadn't said anything.

He planned to depart today.

He hadn't expected so many people to come at all.

Besides, he had gone on long trips before.

Arlan seemed to read Lin Nai's mind and said, "What are you talking about? You're our friend, of course, we have to see you off."

"Besides, this time is different from when you ran away from the space station before; it's more formal."

"Is that so?"

Lin Nai was puzzled. Wasn't it just going on a long trip?

A member of the Security Department shouted, "Brother Lin Nai! You're going on a long trip and didn't even say anything beforehand, that's really not cool!"

"Exactly! Right! Brother Lin Nai, look at the gift I bought! It's for safety! I spent a fortune on it! It's been blessed!"

"Hiss… Isn't this something you get wholesale for a few bucks on MooDuoDuo?"

"Huh? What are you talking about! This has been blessed by a master! I specifically spent five thousand credit points!"

"You got ripped off! The ones blessed on MooDuoDuo are only 20!"

"...No way? Quack! No! I don't want that!"

"There's a weirdo! Everyone get back!"

"Oh, Lin Nai, don't mind them. This is something our department made. Here! Please accept it!"

Lin Nai smiled and accepted the gifts from the staff one by one, thanking them all.

Fortunately, he had the System Space.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to carry so many things…

There are so many people coming.

Someone behind was holding a banner: Farewell Lin Nai.

Why does it feel a bit strange?

"Woof!"

"Oh, Peppy, are you here to see me off too?" Lin Nai crouched down, reaching out to pet the little dog.

Peppy whined a couple of times, then trotted off, returning with a frisbee in its mouth.

How should I put this.

Lin Nai was taken aback when he saw the frisbee.

It was mainly because, after all this time, he and Arlan had mostly played with electronic frisbees with Peppy.

This was the first time he'd seen a physical one.

"Thanks, Peppy." Lin Nai took the frisbee. "I'll play with you when I get back next time."

"Woooof!"

"Lin Nai, here."

Arlan took out a box and handed it to the person in front of him.

Lin Nai took it with both hands, looking curious. "What's this?"

"A weapon... you might not need it, but take it. It's a small token of my appreciation."

"I didn't know what else to give you, but be careful out there."

Arlan patted Lin Nai's shoulder. "Also, remember to come back and visit often. I'll miss you."

"Thank you."

Lin Nai planned to properly store this weapon in his room on the Stellar Express later.

He'd build a display cabinet and put all the things they gave him in it.

Uh...

Will the room be big enough?

"Oh, right, Miss Asta is on her way. I'll take them back first."

Arlan coughed twice and began to direct the nearby staff to withdraw in an orderly fashion.

After all the staff had left.

Lin Nai finally saw Asta's figure.

"Lin Nai..."

"Yo, Asta, do you need me to bring back any souvenirs for you?"

"Sure." Asta paused for a moment, then smiled. "Then I'll trouble you to buy something interesting."

"Haha, I definitely will. Oh... right, whatever you do, don't say that thing from the dream."

That thing about being happy and joyful.

That memory wasn't very pleasant for Lin Nai, because he'd almost had his mouth washed out with soap.

"Mmm... I actually kind of want to say it." Asta reached out and touched Lin Nai's face.

It's just for a little while.

It's not a permanent farewell.

But she still felt a bit reluctant to part...

"Be careful on your journey. You can always come back to the space station. This is your home."

"I know, after all, I've lived here for a long time."

After that.

Asta said many more things.

Giving Lin Nai the feeling of a worried mother sending her child off on a long journey.

"Mmm... Well, that's it, I still have to go to work..."

Asta took two steps, then suddenly turned back and hugged the person in front of her.

"Asta?"

"Be careful on your journey. I'll be waiting for you to come back."

"Mmm... Okay."

Letting go, Asta winked playfully and quickly left the platform.

Lin Nai watched Asta go, until her figure disappeared from sight.

But when he turned around, he found Himeko standing nearby, a teasing smile on her face.

"Whoa…"

"This is true youth~" Kizuna sighed with emotion.

Lin Nai could only smile, not knowing what to say in return.

"So, are you ready to depart?"

"Uh… Sister Kizuna, give me a few more minutes."

"No problem, I'll head up then." Kizuna nodded and boarded the train.

Lin Nai, on the other hand, walked up to a Black Tower automaton.

"Black Tower, I don't know if you're listening, or if you even came…"

"But none of that matters."

Lin Nai pursed their lips, still feeling a bit awkward.

Shaking their head, Lin Nai cast aside their distracting thoughts and continued, "Black Tower, thank you for taking care of me all these years."

"Even though you often left me there and ignored me, and threatened me from time to time, like a total jerk."

"But I'll miss you, all the time. And… I love you?"

After saying that hesitantly, Lin Nai adjusted their hat and mumbled, "Still feels weird. Good thing Black Tower can't hear me. Hope there isn't a next time."

Walking onto the train and standing at the entrance, Lin Nai still looked back at the place they had lived for several years.

From today on…

They were embarking on a new journey.
