Within the Divine General's Manor on the Xianzhou Luofu, Jing Yuan sat in the general's seat, his eyes closed as he seemed to be contemplating something.
Fu Xuan, who had just come over to discuss matters with him, immediately felt her temper flare at the sight.
"General, were you even listening to me?!"
Jing Yuan slightly opened his eyes and looked at the somewhat bristling Fu Xuan beside him.
"Fu Qing's words are quite reasonable."
Seeing Jing Yuan's perfunctory attitude, Fu Xuan's temper flared again.
"General! Do not brush me off."
"We are discussing the future crisis of the Xianzhou right now. Take this seriously!"
"If you want to retire, then hurry up and hand the general's position over to me!"
"All right~ Fu Qing, I'll definitely give you the general's position next time. Calm down for now and keep watching the video. Maybe it will offer some clues."
Looking at the impatient Fu Xuan beside him, Jing Yuan sighed faintly to himself. Looks like I'll have to remain general for a few more years.
In the video, Jing Yuan ate an apple Yanqing had just peeled and replied to Fu Xuan with a relaxed expression, "That proves I'm still a pretty good judge of character. And as thanks, I even gave them some gifts."
"But the gift you gave Stelle was a little too..."
The scene shifted to the Stellaris Train. Stelle, dressed in pajamas, lay on a bed with an intoxicated expression as she hugged a garbage can.
"Ehehe~ Garbage can, my garbage can..."
[Pam: Don't bring garbage cans onto the train, Pam!] [Stelle: That garbage can in the video is absolutely perfect.] [Stelle: Its shape, its sheen, and even those faint traces of rust... It's simply the garbage can of my dreams!] [March 7th: So why do you like garbage cans so much?!] [Kafka: Silver Wolf, when you created this child, did you really not add anything strange?] [Silver Wolf: What does that have to do with me? She grew up like that on her own.]
On the train, Stelle gazed at the garbage can in the video with envy.
"So amazing, so big, so perfect..."
Stelle turned to Little Steel Coin beside her.
"Little Steel Coin, can you turn into that?"
"Garbage!"
"Great! Little Steel Coin, activate Super Transformation Mode!"
"Garbage!!!!"
After a burst of indescribable special effects, Little Steel Coin transformed from a palm-sized Space Station garbage can into an enormous Belobog garbage can.
The moment Stelle saw Little Steel Coin in that form, she pounced on it.
"Garbage can, ehehe... My garbage can..."
Pam, the Train Conductor, had been cleaning the train nearby. Seeing the floor he had just swept dirtied again by the grime on Little Steel Coin, he was so angry he wanted to throw it straight out.
But when he remembered that he would still need its help with cleaning in the future, he held himself back.
Still, bottling up that anger was no solution, so he turned his gaze toward Stelle, who was sprawled over Little Steel Coin.
Good. He had found an outlet.
"Go back to your room and play, Pam!" Pam roared at Stelle.
Stelle hurriedly picked up Little Steel Coin and ran off. Though whether deliberately or not, she unsurprisingly entered the wrong room.
"Huh? This doesn't seem to be my room?" Stelle looked around at the pink-toned room, the photos on the walls, and the plush toys on the bed. Though she had only just joined the train, it was obvious whose room this was.
"Whatever, I'm already here. I'll just rest for a while. March probably won't mind."
Stelle looked around the room and thought to herself.
"Right now, the most important thing is..."
Stelle looked at the trembling Little Steel Coin beside her.
"My garbage can, I'm coming, ehehe..."
Stelle hugged Little Steel Coin and lay down on March 7th's bed without the slightest hint of restraint.
And March 7th, who had just woken up and knew nothing about this, had no objections.
Ignoring Fu Xuan's dark expression and Yanqing's embarrassed look, Jing Yuan laughed. "Hahaha, that's called giving people what they like."
At that moment, the hospital room door was suddenly pushed open. A man with long golden hair entered, holding a bouquet of flowers. Though handsome, his face somehow gave off the impression that he was not a good person.
"General Jing Yuan, I came to see you. How are you feeling?"
[Old Yang: !] [Welt: !] [Theresa: !] [Durandal: Bishop!] [Pam: This person seems to be the passenger who boarded the train earlier with passenger Welt.] [Himeko: Old Yang, this looks like the person who boarded with you.] [Old Yang: No! Train Conductor, Himeko, he is not Void Archives!] [Luocha: Regrettably, I am merely a merchant, not the person you speak of.] [Sparkle: Oh my! The real one has shown up.] [Theresa: Wait! Welt from another world, how do you know about Void Archives?] [Old Yang: This...] [Otto: Can't you tell, my dear granddaughter?] [Otto: Obviously, he is the Welt from our world. We just don't know why he ended up in another world.] [Otto: Am I right, old friend?] [Old Yang: Tch...] [Old Yang: That bastard is right. I'm Welt from the future.] [Murata Himeko: Then, Teacher Welt from the future, did we successfully defeat Honkai Impact?] [Old Yang: Sorry, Himeko, I can't tell you that.] [Murata Himeko: All right, I understand.]
Upon seeing Welt's words, Himeko and many people from the Honkai Impact world understood. In the future, they had probably defeated Honkai Impact, or at least reached a good ending. Otherwise, future Welt would not have refused to offer even the slightest hint. He was clearly trying to prevent the future from changing.
[Kiana: What do you mean? Himeko, what do you understand?] [Bronya (Honkai Impact): Idiot Kiana shouldn't think too hard, or that Grassworm-like brain of yours will overload.] [Kiana: You're the idiot, Bronya. Even I know grassworms don't have brains.] [Mei: ...] [Himeko: ...] [Fu Hua: ...] [Theresa: ...] [Durandal: ...]
At that moment, Kiana also realized it.
[Kiana: Wait! Are you saying I'm stupid, you little shrimp?!]
The video continued.
Fu Xuan turned her head and stared warily at Luocha, who had entered the room.
"What are you doing here, offspring of Yaoshi?!"
Luocha looked at the wary Fu Xuan and replied with a kind expression.
"Great Augur, the general and I have reached a temporary reconciliation."
"But you brought the Stellaron into the Xianzhou, causing so many casualties, and your power..."
[Fei Xiao: What?! An offspring of Yaoshi?] [Fei Xiao: He even brought something like a Stellaron into the Xianzhou and caused massive casualties.] [Fei Xiao: @Jing Yuan, General of the Luofu, what were you thinking, reconciling with someone like him?!]
