{Here comes the fan-favorite fun~}

{Looks like the protagonist's transformation will have to wait until the next chapter.}

At that moment, Hua Ling and Gao Fushuai watched the excited crowd with embarrassed expressions. Left with no choice, they sang other Honkai songs. Gao Fushuai was doing fine, but it was different when Hua Ling sang "Dede De," a song originally performed by Teacher Hua Ling. This song was incomparably suited for Theresa to sing.

Hua Ling's disguised loli voice, complete with a milky tone, gave everyone the uncanny feeling that Theresa herself had arrived, making the anime-loving audience howl with excitement.

"Theresa, I'm your fan!" {Pounces}

"Hehehe, adorable Theresa, I'm your beloved Cecilia!"

A girl cosplaying Cecilia shouted with a besotted grin.

"Theresa, I'm your Bitter Melon Spirit."

"Family, who gets it?!"

A particularly distinctive Bitter Melon Spirit shouted excitedly. His snarling expression made everyone back away in embarrassment, and Hua Ling could not help wanting to throw Judas at him. After all, this Bitter Melon Spirit looked far too distinctive.

After much difficulty, Hua Ling and Gao Fushuai finally stepped off the stage, unexpectedly carrying the singing competition trophy in their hands. They stood there with awkward smiles as people gathered around to take photos, especially the many sweet young ladies who hugged Hua Ling and gave her an enthusiastic squish.

If one asked whether Hua Ling would be exposed as a man, the answer was no. Since Theresa was flat as a board herself, nobody noticed Hua Ling's flat chest. It was clear just how deeply rooted Theresa's flatness was in everyone's hearts.

Thus, Gao Fushuai, playing Otto, and Hua Ling, playing Theresa, were surrounded for ages as everyone took pictures. Both of them felt flashes of light constantly bursting before their eyes. They truly could not understand how celebrities endured the bombardment of flashbulbs.

By the time they finally waited until sunset and the convention began to wrap up, the exhausted pair no longer cared about heading home in cosplay. After all, the streets were full of cosplayers dressed in all sorts of bizarre outfits.

Especially one Power Man Vergil with silver-white hair. He sat proudly with his back to the crowd on a plastic chair at the Food Stall, a prop Yamato resting by the armrest, radiating an overwhelming aura of power. Feel the power~ Then, amid everyone's trembling stares, a Hatsune Dante calmly walked over to Power Man Vergil. Hatsune Dante said, "Hey, Vergil, your days of opening portals whenever you feel like it are over. Hand over the Yamato!"

Hatsune Dante called out at Vergil's back.

"If you want it, come take it yourself."

Vergil rose to his feet and turned to look at Hatsune Dante. Dante's bizarre outfit made the corner of his eye twitch.

"You know the rules."

Vergil said, holding back laughter as he looked at the bizarre Dante before him.

"Knew you'd say that."

As Hatsune Dante spoke, an inexplicable drumbeat began to sound. It turned out that some other people were drumming out the beat from Devil May Cry.

"How many times have we fought?"

Vergil raised his head and looked at Dante.

"Hard to say. It's the only thing I remember from when I was little."

Dante stepped closer to Vergil, and Vergil did the same.

"It's time to settle this, Vergil!"

"Settle it once and for all!"

Hatsune Dante said with a smile, raising his leek.

Vergil could not hold back a laugh either. He gave Hatsune Dante a thumbs-up. The delighted Vergil said, "Hahaha, bro, I seriously can't hold it in anymore. This is way too funny. There's something wrong with your Dante!"

Having finally finished the Big Sick Zone line, Vergil could no longer suppress his amusement and burst into laughter. Everyone else began laughing too.

"Haha, Hatsune Dante is still Dante. Nothing wrong with that, right?"

"Come on, bro, I'll treat you to milk tea!"

"Yeah, let's go!"

Vergil and Dante slowly walked away with their arms around each other's shoulders. After having their fill of amusement, everyone else began to disperse. As for the Food Stall chairs, they had been borrowed from nearby.

"Haha, those people were really interesting, weren't they?"

Hua Ling happily raised her head and spoke to Gao Fushuai, forgetting that she was still using a feminine voice.

"Mm-hm."

Gao Fushuai nodded with a smile. He instinctively wanted to take Hua Ling's hand, but seemed to remember something and sighed regretfully, lowering his raised hand.

Path of the Heavenly King

Suddenly, Hua Ling and Gao Fushuai heard Durandal's voice in astonishment. The surroundings froze, and even the tiny curtain of falling rain hung motionless in midair. They stared in shock as a Swan Itasha charged toward them from afar. The sound had come from that itasha.

Here, I create!

Damn heterosexuals, go reincarnate already!

As Durandal shouted furiously, Gao Fushuai and Hua Ling were sent flying by the itasha. They soared into the sky and were swallowed by a suddenly appearing void, which then vanished.

Mm~ Another pair of damn heterosexuals sent away. Hope you both turn into girls and start new lives. This order's complete, time to scram~

The Dull Goose Itasha first transformed into a robot and began hammering away at a keyboard. Then it nodded in satisfaction, transformed back into the Dull Goose Itasha, and sped away with a roar.

As it departed, frozen time began to flow again. This way, ordinary people would not be disturbed.

In the quiet universe of the Star Rail World, a void suddenly opened and spat out Hua Ling and Gao Fushuai. It then expelled an air bubble that enveloped the unconscious pair, allowing them to survive briefly in the vacuum of space.

{Bzz~}

After making a strange sound, the void collapsed and disappeared.

After a while, the two slowly woke inside the air bubble.

"Gao Fushuai, I think we got hit by the Dull Goose Itasha?"

Still confused, Hua Ling rubbed her head as she spoke.

"Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember. We really were sent flying by a Dull Goose Itasha. What's strange is that we didn't feel any pain?"

Gao Fushuai began looking around. When he saw the vacuum of space outside through the transparent air bubble, his mind went blank.

"I think we're going to keep Great Kaz company while he stops thinking. The good news is that we really did transmigrate. The bad news is that we're about to become space junk..."

Gao Fushuai shouted at Hua Ling with a collapsed expression. If Hua Ling had not been there, he might already have suffered a complete mental breakdown!

After all, the despair of being in the vast, silent vacuum of space was truly terrifying!

"If this really counts as transmigration, what about your parents? You're not alone in the world like I am."

Hua Ling looked at Gao Fushuai and asked, distracting him from his wild thoughts. She did her best to remain calm, because keeping one's emotions stable was crucial in desperate circumstances.

"Uh, there's no need to worry about that. Besides me, the handsome younger brother Gao Fushuai, there's also my older brother Gao Youcai and my older sister Gao Xiaomei. Most importantly, I'm not their biological child either. Like you, I was adopted. I'd always been subjected to extremely strict education, and it was only after meeting you that I could finally breathe. I felt awful in that terrifying family. This isn't so bad either, provided we find a way to survive."

Gao Fushuai said as he looked at Hua Ling, his emotions now having calmed as well.

Daily hanging picture. As expected of Dr. Ratio.
