A Person in Honkai: Star Rail, a Medic, Chapter 43

So…

Lin Nai decisively chose not to go to the plaza and instead headed to the nearby Goethe Hotel.

Chapter 40: Will You Remember How Many Buns You've Eaten?

Goethe Hotel.

This aged hotel was said to have been established even before the Great Cold arrived.

However, after several changes in ownership, it was now managed by the once-prominent Goethe family.

As the finest hotel in Belobog, it was the ideal choice for hosting distinguished guests.

Except, Belobog hadn't seen any "guests" in many years.

But today.

Nameless guests from an alien world would arrive at this hotel!

The four members of the Astral Express nonchalantly walked past the patrolling Silvermane Guards at the entrance.

Just as you wouldn't remember how many buns you've eaten.

The Silvermane Guards generally wouldn't remember how many people had stayed at the Goethe Hotel.

People resting, people kicked out of their homes, people eloping, people having affairs, people caught cheating, people slacking off, people dining and dashing.

All sorts of people.

Besides, With so many people in Belobog.

It was normal for one or two people who looked a bit strange to appear occasionally~

As long as they didn't appear lewd or sneaky, most people wouldn't be suspicious.

Inside the hotel.

"Wow... it's so bright..." March Seven took out her camera and snapped a photo of the Goethe Hotel's interior.

Xing stretched and yawned.

So tired.

She hadn't even been on Jarilo-VI for a full day, yet she felt a wave of exhaustion.

"Hey, Xing, wanna have a pillow fight tonight?" March Seven asked excitedly.

Xing's eyes lit up, her sleepy expression vanishing instantly: "Pillow fight!"

Oh.

It seemed she wasn't tired, just simply bored.

"That's right!" March Seven giggled, hugging Xing's arm: "The pillows here must be made of bouncy goose down!"

"Hooray! Pillow fight!"

The two girls excitedly discussed how they would play that night.

Dan Heng scanned their surroundings with a poker face, acting as a bodyguard.

Meanwhile, Lin Nai went to check them in.

After all, he had the money.

After spending some Winter City Coins and a few gold coins, Four rooms, booked for a month each, were secured.

Not long after.

In Lin Nai's room.

Xing and March Seven were hitting each other with pillows on the bed, while Lin Nai and Dan Heng sat by the window, drinking tea.

"What's the plan now?" Dan Heng asked Lin Nai.

Everything had gone smoothly so far.

The only conflict had been a few Abyss Creatures on the road earlier.

"Investigate discreetly, don't make a fuss, and no shooting,"

Lin Nai took a sip of his tea and said:

"At least for now, we can't make contact with the planet's leader, the so-called Supreme Guardian."

"Huh? Why not?"

"How would we even explain it? That we're aliens here to help you?"

They were practically undocumented immigrants.

Besides, Cocolia was definitely already being influenced by the Stellaris.

In the original plot, it seems that after directly confronting Cocolia, Xing and the others were put on the wanted list the next day.

Thinking about Gepard's drawing skills...

Yikes.

Lin Nai definitely didn't want a wanted poster like that!

It was too distorted!

"Or what?"

March Seven tilted her head, wasn't that the obvious thing to say?

"But why would they believe you? We don't have any evidence, let alone how you know the current leader of Belobog is a good person." Lin Nai rested his face on one hand. Cocolia had caused quite a stir in any timeline.

She wasn't the type of villain who was completely evil from the start.

It was quite contradictory.

In Honkai Impact 3rd, if you wanted to say she was bad, she still had a principle of not killing children after the second Honkai event. Though later she went completely insane.

In Honkai: Star Rail, if you wanted to say she was bad, it seemed she was also misled by the Stellaris in order to save Belobog.

And then, she really became the boss.

Lin Nai thought, she might just be... stupid.

And easily fooled.

What's more, she was incredibly stubborn. Once fooled by one person, another couldn't talk her out of it.

"In any case, what we need to do now is to secretly search for information about the Stellaris," Lin Nai said, lightly tapping the table to change the subject from the Supreme Guardian.

"We have absolutely no information about this place, Belobog."

After being frozen for so many years.

There was no information about Belobog on the train, so it was useless.

Everything had to start from scratch.

He did know a little, but after so much time had passed, he could barely remember many things.

Lin Nai crossed his hands and rested them under his chin. It was a shame he didn't have his glasses.

"So we have to be prepared for a long fight. The next few days will likely be very tough."

Of course.

He could also choose to go straight to Cocolia, take her down, and get the Stellaris.

End this journey quickly and head to the next place.

But what would be the point of that?

At that time, it might truly turn into: I don't need to know where the enemy is, I just need to go on a killing spree!

He wasn't a demon, nor was he that cruel.

Hey!

At this point, someone might ask why Lin Nai wasn't thinking about healing Cocolia.

Well, there was a very awkward point.

Lin Nai didn't have Moonlight Wave or Moon God's Extraction!

This meant he couldn't separate the Stellaris from Cocolia right now!

The warm feeling in his skill tree and Gauss Force were only superficial fixes.

So they were completely useless.

In conclusion.

Embarking on this journey, Lin Nai wanted to enjoy the process more.

The people and events encountered along the journey were all indispensable parts.

What's more...

Unless the situation was extremely urgent.

Lin Nai felt that he should at least let Xing grow.

If possible, he also wanted to find a way to save this planet.

He really wanted to see what this planet looked like originally, perhaps it would be very beautiful...

The three of them had no objections to Lin Nai's suggestion of making long-term plans.

"Alright, everyone, go back to your rooms and rest."

"Oh!"

Xing raised her small hand, echoing Lin Nai's words.

March Seven yawned.

"What a long day~ I need a nice hot bath and a good sleep!"

"Huh? What happened to the pillow fight we planned?"

Hearing Xing's question, March Seven smiled. "Yay, a pillow fight! Let's go to your room later, Xing?"

"Yay!!"

Xing nodded excitedly.

Then, Xing looked at Lin Nai, seemingly asking if they wanted to join.

Lin Nai waved their hand.

They weren't in the mood to play today and felt it was time to rest properly.

Tomorrow, they would explore this Belobog, which was more detailed than in the game.

After that, the other three left Lin Nai's room and returned to their own.

Once everyone was gone, Lin Nai just flopped onto the bed.

Time really flies...

Boarding the train.

Arriving at Belobog on Jarilo-VI.

Starting a new adventure...

Their thoughts drifted.

Lin Nai's consciousness gradually blurred, and they soon fell asleep.

So tired.
