Someone in Honkai: Star Rail, a Medical Professional

Serval snapped back to reality. "No, I was just thinking about something."

That song...

Was it symbolizing something?

Serval shook her head, deciding not to dwell on it for now.

Of course.

She had no intention of letting Pela see the lyrics.

It was a bit too much.

"Alright, time to rest!" Serval stood up, changing the subject. "Want to stay the night?"

"Nah, I'm heading back. I'm almost done with 'Snow Country Adventure Tales'."

Pela walked to the door.

"You really like 'Snow Country Adventure Tales', huh?"

Serval smiled. "Want me to walk you out?"

"No need. The Silvermane Guard are patrolling outside, so nothing dangerous will happen."

With that, Pela left the workshop.

Serval picked up the sheet music and carefully put it away.

What a strange person.

It's a shame I couldn't invite my band. That probably would have been really interesting.

We'll probably meet again in the future.

Meanwhile.

Lin Nai, who was returning to the Goethe Hotel from the Mirror World, sneezed.

Lin Nai: Am I catching a cold?

Chapter 44: Sister Pela~

The next day.

The four members of the Astral Express crew, as they had planned the day before, began their exploration of Belobog!

However...

They hadn't even started when disaster struck.

The original plan of "investigate secretly, no shooting" was forced to be interrupted.

But now there was a problem...

As soon as Xing saw a trash can, her DNA started to react.

Lin Nai grabbed Xing, who was trying to rummage through a trash can, with a grim expression.

Damn it!

Do you like trash cans that much? Trailblazer!!

As soon as they stepped out of the Goethe Hotel, Xing sprinted a hundred meters to a trash can.

If Lin Nai hadn't noticed in time.

And used Gauss Acceleration to Mach-speed over to grab her, Xing would be buried in trash right now.

For the rest of the time.

Xing's hands would itch every time she saw a trash can, and she'd go over to it.

How to put it...

Lin Nai had gradually gotten used to the strange looks from people around them, transitioning from socially anxious.

March Seven and Dan Heng had already retreated dozens of meters away, putting on expressions as if they didn't know them.

Hey!

Share the hardship!

Aren't we the Astral Express crew?!

Why are you just standing there watching! Have you betrayed our sincere friendship?!

Dan Heng: OMO

March Seven: IMO

"So, what is it about trash cans that makes them so attractive to you? This is the third one."

Xing puffed out her cheeks, looking wronged. "But I can't help it..."

"Why can't you help it!"

Lin Nai retorted. "Are trash cans that alluring? This isn't some open-world RPG!"

"Goo..." Xing scratched their head. "But... but... it's really attractive!"

"..." *3

"Xing, are you okay?"

March Seven was a little worried about Xing's mental state. Why would a trash can be attractive?

There were no so-called treasures inside.

"Really!" Xing grabbed Lin Nai's hand and pointed at the trash can. "Look!"

"Look at what?"

Lin Nai asked doubtfully, "It won't change no matter what, right?"

"It's a trash can, it's a trash can today, and it'll be a trash can its whole life!!"

Xing spread their hands, placed them on Lin Nai's cheeks, and forced the other to stare at the trash can.

"Lin Nai, listen to me..."

"You stared at the trash can for a long time, and they seemed to have changed. The edges of the ice bucket were no longer rusty, and the dents on the bucket had also smoothed out a lot."

"A golden light emanated from under the lid, sweet and alluring."

"Now..."

"I think it's a treasure chest?"

"Impossible," Lin Nai slapped Xing's hands away. "This level of persuasion won't work on me."

After all, Kafka's Word of Power had no effect on him.

Why would Xing think she could fool him?

"Sigh... it failed," Xing sighed. "I was thinking if it succeeded, I'd have Lin Nai serve me tonight."

"Don't say weird things," Lin Nai reached out and flicked Xing's forehead.

"Oof..."

Xing rubbed their forehead, revealing a harmless smile.

But only the people on the train knew.

This guy was definitely not as honest as he appeared.

"Speaking of which, I haven't gathered any information since we came out, I've just been stopping Xing."

March Seven sighed.

How could that guy be more restless than herself...

Wait.

Could it be that Dan Heng, Sister Kizuna, and Uncle Yang always saw her this way?!

Dan Heng looked helpless.

He rubbed his temples. Becoming the center of attention was too troublesome.

But, whatever. Xing was just curious about everything, perhaps she would get over it after a while.

Besides.

If it really came down to a dangerous situation, this child was quite steady.

There was no need to deliberately suppress her curiosity and nature... except for rummaging through trash cans.

"Uh... Lin Nai, what are you doing?"

March Seven looked at Lin Nai with a strange expression as he pulled out a rope from somewhere and tied the other end to Xing's wrist.

"I was afraid Xing would run around, so I used energy to create a rope and tied it to her clothes."

Lin Nai tugged at the blue energy line.

"I am Lin Nai's..."

"Don't say it!" Lin Nai quickly covered Xing's mouth in fright.

Damn it...

If this guy shouted, the Silvermane Guard would throw him in jail for a while.

Then it would really be over.

"..."

March Seven's expression was already stunned. She suddenly felt that she should have just stayed on the train this time.

Dan Heng?

Dan Heng was already numb.

But later, Lin Nai felt the impression was a bit bad, so he simply untied Xing and led her to stroll through the streets.

And under March Seven's guidance, they avoided one trash can after another.

After wandering for a while.

The four of them took a short break near the fountain in front of the Belobog Museum.

"Phew... we've been looking for ages and haven't found a single clue," March Seven said, sitting on a chair and glancing at Xing, who was counting coins in the fountain.

This was the first time she felt tired.

Dan Heng didn't say anything, just stood quietly to the side.

Taking care of kids is really tough.

Especially when you have two of them.

However, since Xing arrived, March Seven had become much more well-behaved.

Lin Nai, holding a canned soda bought from a vending machine, took a sip and said:

"Let's take it slow. Look on the bright side, thanks to Xing, we've already circled the administrative district. We've gotten familiar with the area."

"Besides, we still have plenty of time, so don't worry." Lin Nai finished the drink and tossed it into the trash can: "Yes! Three points!"

"Yes! I'll do it too!" March Seven imitated Lin Nai, throwing her bottle in: "Three points!"

The two looked at Dan Heng.

Dan Heng was silent for a few seconds, finished his drink, and also made a three-pointer.

"Yes!" x2

Lin Nai and March Seven shouted, high-fiving each other in celebration.

Dan Heng looked helplessly at the two of them, acting like children.

Wait.

Speaking of children
