Herta's Arrival

At this moment, Asta turned her head to look at Dan Heng, giving him a slight nod and a smile, then greeted March 7th familiarly before turning her curious gaze to the stunningly beautiful and adorable Theresa.

"March 7th, Dan Heng... who are these two?"

Asta looked at Stelle and Theresa, asking the Nameless guests with curiosity.

"Hey, isn't she one of your Space Station crew?"

March 7th pointed at Stelle beside her and asked, while Stelle also looked at Asta in confusion.

"Absolutely not. As the station master, I know all the researchers, but I've never seen them before. After all, who could forget such a cute girl?"

Asta smiled at Theresa, whose beautiful eyes were fixed on her.

Hearing this, Theresa's cheeks flushed. It was the first time she'd been complimented by a girl in this world.

"Oh, this cute little sister is blushing! Don't be shy, I'm a really nice person."

Asta smiled and hugged Theresa, laughing. Judas had already been turned back into a necklace and hung around Theresa's neck.

Seeing Theresa being held up by Asta, everyone couldn't help but want to laugh, especially Welt. As a mature man who had grown up watching Theresa as a magical girl, seeing her constantly treated like a child made him struggle to hold back his laughter.

"Welt seems quite happy."

Himeko noticed Welt suppressing a laugh and asked curiously.

"Ahem! I'm not, Himeko, you're seeing things!"

Welt dared not admit he was teasing Theresa. Judas wasn't something just anyone could withstand—except for Otto's Soul Steel head.

"Ugh, let me go~"

Theresa's little face was attacked by Asta's face wash, and she didn't dare struggle too hard. After all, Asta was the station manager authorized by Herta to run the Space Station and the heiress of a director from the Interastral Peace Corporation. Theresa naturally didn't want to provoke her for now.

"Miss, she's not just a cute little girl. In a sense, she's also my lifesaver."

Arlan said to Asta, his face somewhat pale.

"Huh? Arlan, are you serious? With her being this adorable?"

Asta kneaded Theresa's little face in confusion.

"I'm serious. Miss, I suggest you stop messing with her, or she might pull out that huge, heavy cross later."

Arlan said to Asta, who was excitedly ruffling Theresa. Himeko and Welt also held back their laughter and explained to Asta, who finally let go of Theresa in embarrassment. Theresa's face was flushed red, partly from the face-wash attack.

"Hmph, I told you all, why won't you believe me? Let me say it again: I am not a child!"

Theresa shouted angrily. Her soft, loli-like voice, tinged with a babyish tone, made everyone find it hard to believe.

"It's true, she's over forty... ouch!"

Before Welt could finish, Theresa bit down on his palm. Welt grimaced and shook his hand, trying to shake off Theresa, who was clamped onto it.

"Welt, a girl's age is a secret. That was very rude."

Himeko smiled as she watched Welt with Theresa biting his hand. The other women nodded in agreement.

"Ptoo, ptoo, ptoo. I need to rinse my mouth."

After a while, Theresa finally released her teeth from Welt's palm. She took the bottled water March 7th handed her and rinsed her mouth.

"Alright, back to business. Since Station Master Asta says she doesn't know you, then who exactly are you, Stelle?"

Dan Heng looked at Stelle warily and asked. Everyone stared at the bewildered Stelle in surprise.

"I... I don't know who I am either. I only know my name is Stelle."

Stelle explained to everyone with a troubled expression.

"And what about this cute little sister?"

Asta looked at Theresa curiously.

"She's a Nameless of our Astral Express, Theresa."

Himeko explained to Asta, who nodded. Now the only remaining mystery was Stelle.

"You don't need to guess. I know who she is."

A beautiful, adorable loli walked over slowly, her indifferent face looking at everyone as she spoke.

"It's Ms. Herta!"

"Wow, it's really you!"

Some researchers shouted excitedly.

"Hello, Ms. Herta. I'm sorry the Space Station was invaded by the Antimatter Legion, but fortunately there wasn't much damage."

Asta looked at Herta with reverence and explained. Genius Society member #83, Herta. "Asta, this isn't your fault. It's trouble caused by the Stellaron Hunters. And the Stellaron, a troublesome collectible of mine, has now become this Stellaron Miss. Won't you introduce yourself?"

Herta looked up at the tall Stelle and asked.

"Hello, Ms. Herta. My name is Stelle. Other than that, I don't remember anything."

Stelle looked curiously at the puppet-like Herta and explained.

"Who is she?"

Theresa looked curiously at Herta and asked. In truth, she knew who Herta was, but to avoid suspicion, she naturally pretended not to recognize her.

"Oh, another stranger. You're quite adorable."

Herta sized up Theresa from head to toe, pleased with how similar their heights were.

"The eighty-third seat of the Genius Society, Ms. Herta, and the true owner of this Herta Space Station. I am also an acting station master."

Asta introduced Herta with a smile.

The true master of the space station "Herta," who successfully reversed her aging through the Herta Sequence she proposed. Her real age remains a mystery.

As the most intelligent human on Azure Star, she only does what interests her. Once she loses interest, she leaves immediately—the space station being the best example.

Herta usually appears in the form of a remotely controlled Puppet: "Compared to me as a child, barely seven out of ten similarity." —Herta herself.

Herta of the Genius Society is not satisfied with the laws of the ordinary world. She has set her sights on the unexplained existences in the galaxy, hoping those distant mysteries will satisfy her curiosity.

To this end, Herta led the construction of a museum-style interstellar ship and launched it into planetary orbit, beginning her research of "sealing all anomalies within the stars." In recent Amber Eras, exchanges with other worlds have grown increasingly frequent.

She established cooperation with the "Interastral Peace Corporation," helped the "Xianzhou" fight against abominations, acquired many collectibles from the "Astral Express," and had a few minor skirmishes with the "Garden of Recollection." Truly a far more fulfilling experience than the past hundred Amber Eras. To stably preserve a Stellaron, she built the space station "Herta."

"Eh! So the star is actually a Stellaron turned into a person? That means she's a Stellaron Essence!"

March 7th exclaimed in surprise, looking at the bewildered Star.

"Aren't you going to introduce yourself, little cutie?"

Although Herta was very interested in Star, her intuition told her that Theresa, who resembled her so much, also seemed to hold secrets.

"Hello, Ms. Herta. My name is Theresa. I recently joined the Astral Express as a Nameless. You can ask Old Yang or Himeko to confirm."

Theresa looked at Herta as she spoke. The sight of two big-sized lolis staring at each other amused everyone present.
