Theresa and Joining the Stellaron Hunters.

At this moment, Welt was also roughly observing the expression on Theresa's face. Her beautiful, adorable features were puffed out in dissatisfaction as she glared at him, her small hand seemingly itching to take the Oath of Judah off her back and give him a whack.

The expression was very similar, and the youthful aura she exuded ruled out the possibility of a Void Archive disguise. Most importantly, her hair wasn't blonde. As everyone knew, no matter what the Void Archive mimicked, it always came out gleaming gold.

And Theresa's pure white hair proved she wasn't the Void Archive in disguise. Coupled with her current childish, cute expression, Welt felt a wave of relief wash over him.

"Forgive me, Overseer Theresa. To confirm you aren't an enemy in disguise, I had to be cautious."

"Now, could you please use the Oath of Judah as final proof?"

Welt looked at Theresa and asked.

"Huh? How do you want me to prove it? Do you want me to tear this place apart?"

Theresa looked at Welt in surprise.

"Just have it unfold. I'll verify it."

Welt said solemnly. The Void Archive had truly spooked him, forcing him to take such measures to be absolutely certain. If the Theresa before him could use Judah, then everything would be fine. After all, he could still recognize the real Judah, right? He'd already experienced its half-ton weight firsthand.

"Fine, if you want to see it, don't blame me. You all saw and heard it, he asked me to do this!"

Theresa shouted at everyone. They all trusted Welt, so they nodded in agreement.

"Oath of Judah, unfold!"

Theresa took Judah off her back and set it on the floor. The half-ton weight made the floor tremble, causing Pam to panic and stare at the ground, afraid it might crack.

He was worrying too much. With the blessing of the Trailblaze, the train wasn't that fragile. After all, even the Amber King's supposedly indestructible walls had been rammed open by the previous train. The racing Aeon Aqevili wasn't known for nothing.

As Theresa spoke, the Oath of Judah smoothly unfolded, ejecting thirteen sharp Soul Steel spears. Theresa began to wield Judah with instinctive proficiency.

"Alright, I've confirmed it's you. My apologies, Overseer Theresa."

Welt politely apologized to Theresa. Theresa breathed a silent sigh of relief; she thought she was about to be exposed!

This Welt was way too suspicious.

[Quest to join the Astral Express completed. Vishnu Hyper-Mutation Factor has been deposited into Judah's storage space. As expected of you, truly reliable!]

[Second quest incoming: Help the space station kill the Doomsday Beast. Reward: Enhanced Azeroth Redstone and Optimized Stone Mask. Want to become the ultimate lifeform?]

The Herta Space Station System's prompt made Theresa smile happily. Welt saw this and relaxed, thinking she had forgiven him, but it was actually the joy of receiving her reward.

"Hello, Theresa. I'm Himeko."

Himeko smiled and extended her hand to Theresa. Hearing this, Theresa looked at Himeko in surprise, her eyes brimming with joyful tears. This was amazing, she was meeting Himeko for the first time!

Theresa's tearful joy also made Welt nod inwardly. After all, the Himeko of St. Freya had already passed away. Seeing Theresa's tearful reaction to Himeko at the entrance, he let go of his last shred of suspicion and completely relaxed.

"Himeko..."

"Waaah!"

Theresa threw herself into Himeko's arms and cried happily. As the Captain, how could she ever forget Himeko!

A long-buried regret and grief poured out of Theresa. Maybe it was because she had become a girl, but she felt like she teared up so easily now.

"There, there. It seems you've been through a lot. Don't be afraid, Himeko will take care of it."

Himeko gently comforted the crying Theresa. She then looked at Welt, who sensed something was wrong, and smiled.

"Little March, go to my room and bring that full pot of coffee I brewed last night."

Himeko smiled at March 7th. March 7th and Dan Heng both gulped. They helplessly glanced at the stunned Welt, and March 7th ran to Himeko's room, bringing a full pot of fragrant coffee to the main hall.

The coffee actually smelled quite good, but drinking it was a different story. It was an ultra-concentrated brew, bitter enough to make your scalp tingle, and so strong it could burn your esophagus. Such was the power of Himeko's coffee.

Himeko smiled as she held the pot of ultra-concentrated coffee, looking at Welt. March 7th, Dan Heng, and Pam backed away as far as they could.

"No, Himeko, I was wrong. I was too aggressive. If I drink that whole pot, I'll probably get a stomach ulcer!"

Welt shouted in panic. Theresa, her face pressed against Himeko's stomach, smirked inwardly. She hugged Himeko, breathing in her reassuring scent. After all, she was Theresa now, so there was no question of taking advantage, and Himeko seemed to really like her.

"Alright then. Let's change it from a pot to a cup. I can't reduce it any further. After all, Welt, you went too far, treating Theresa like that."

Himeko took a cup from Pam and said to Welt. She then poured a full cup of the fragrant coffee and handed it to Welt.

"Make sure you drink every last drop~"

Himeko smiled at the pale-faced Welt. Welt grimaced and nodded, then downed the ultra-concentrated coffee with the air of a man facing his doom. The bitter and sour taste made his face scrunch up. He set the cup on the table and clutched his stomach in pain.

"Are we done? No, I need to go to the bathroom!"

Welt hurriedly ran off to his room. Everyone else found it a bit amusing.

"Well, there's still some left. It'd be a waste to throw it away. How about everyone gets a share?"

Himeko asked, looking at the pot still half-full. Pam immediately panicked and ran to hide in the driver's cabin. March 7th and Dan Heng, under Himeko's smiling gaze, nervously took their cups. They grimaced as Himeko filled their cups to the brim.

"What are you waiting for? Drink up. It's delicious. See, Welt was so happy he ran off to his room."

Himeko smiled at March 7th and Dan Heng. The two exchanged a bitter look, downed their coffee in one gulp, and then rushed to their rooms to throw up.

Himeko nodded helplessly. The coffee was so rich and fragrant, yet they were terrified of it. She poured herself a cup and took a sip, noticing Theresa's curious gaze.

"Come here, little cutie. The rest is for you."

"This is part of the initiation ceremony for joining the Express Crew~"

Himeko smiled at the frightened Theresa, then poured the remaining bit for her. Theresa grimaced as she listened to the Herta Space Station System cackling in her mind. Carefully, under Himeko's expectant gaze, she took a small sip of the concentrated coffee.

But as it entered her mouth, instead of the anticipated intense bitterness, she tasted a sweet, fragrant flavor that made her expression light up with excitement.

That's right! Theresa's sense of taste was famously bizarre. Bitter things became sweet for her, so she had nothing to fear! And with Theresa's physical constitution, Himeko's coffee was no threat at all!
