March 7th Likes to Turn Her Brain Off / All Right, Time to Become a Dragon Knight!
But to be honest, those things were also done with good intentions.
This applies to everything, including training and honing one's skills.
Things are clearly different now.
While Acheron was reassured by Lin Shuang's strength and trump cards, he also became more worried about Lin Shuang's safety.
If Lin Shuang were to tell her now that she wanted to die for her ideals...
Acheron herself wasn't sure if she could stop Lin Shuang's suicide attempt.
And it was precisely because of this suddenness that I realized this.
This left Acheron momentarily at a loss for how to reply to the message.
I dawdled for ages.
Acheron suddenly realized that even if he couldn't figure out how to deal with these emotions for the time being.
For now, let's just treat each other as usual.
She has plenty of time, and Lin Shuang also has a considerable amount of time. They have enough time to process these complex emotions.
Not everything needs an immediate answer.
Acheron breathed a sigh of relief and quickly edited the good news and sent it out:
[Acheron: That's different. You provoked the Emanator last time; who knows if he'll do it again next time.]
However, Acheron was still a little apprehensive when he sent it out.
If Lin Shuang asks why she hesitated for so long just now, how should she answer in a way that sounds natural?
Fortunately, Lin Shuang didn't dwell on the matter, seemingly unconcerned about the long pause.
[Lin Shuang: Okay, okay, I'll be careful. I'll call you immediately if anything happens.]
[Acheron: Hmm.]
The conversation ended quickly, Acheron glanced around before deciding to continue on his way.
Lin Shuang finished her conversation with Acheron and had just put her phone away when...
Himeko returned to the Control Panel first. Asta and Himeko nodded to each other but did not speak.
Himeko, however, turned her gaze to Lin Shuang.
"Speaking of which, I haven't properly greeted you yet. If you're free after the riots subside, Lin Shuang, you can come and sit on the Train."
Himeko was wearing a long evening gown and a coat, though she was not revealing much skin.
But whether it's a high slit up to the waist or a low neckline, it's all about the dress.
All of this makes Himeko. Himeko exude the charm of a mature woman.
"Great! I've longed to ride the Star Rail Express for a long time, and I'll definitely go for a ride sometime in the future. If Miss Himeko doesn't mind, I've also considered boarding the Train as a Nameless."
Lin Shuang readily agreed, while Himeko covered her mouth and chuckled.
"The Train welcomes every Trailblaze, and I look forward to Lin Shuang joining us."
Volume 1: Chapter 164 March 7th Likes to Lose His Brain
"Himeko, we're back--"
March 7th, accompanied by Xing, walked over quickly, while Dan Heng returned from the side.
When Lin Shuang saw Dan Heng returning, she couldn't quite imagine how someone as taciturn as him could comfort others.
"Ah, Lin Shuang —I just saw the Security Department taking your pet out. It scared several people."
After greeting Himeko, March 7th Himeko his gaze to Lin Shuang.
She and Xing had just been calming down the Staff Member when they ran into the Security Department leading that burly man who was fuming.
Some of the bolder Staff Member were fine, but it took them a lot of effort to calm down the more timid Staff Member.
March 7th's tone clearly carried a hint of complaint, though not quite; if you had to put it another way, it might be more like a 'whining'.
It's no wonder that March 7th is so popular; this perfectly balanced "social cow" attribute makes it easy to win the favor of others.
Lin Shuang nodded and explained:
"It's too conspicuous for it to stay in the Master Control Zone, so let's send it out to contribute its strength."
"Oh—I see."
March 7th suddenly realized, while Asta, standing to the side, secretly covered her mouth and laughed.
She remembered Lin Shuang's reasoning earlier; it wasn't such a serious explanation.
Just then--
Suddenly, alarms blared everywhere.
Numerous warnings were issued from various compartments.
Soon, the influence from outside the Space Station was transmitted to Asta.
This also made everyone present see the source of the warning.
The enormous Monster was clinging to the Space Station's Shield, tearing at it frantically, trying to shatter the Shield System that had only recently been restarted.
Doomsday Beast!
The Anti-Matter Legion is renowned for its powerful weapons against civilizations, yet this behemoth is now focusing its attention on a small Space Station.
Asta immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
We must not let unrelated people get involved.
Then, without hesitation, she turned her head to look at Himeko:
"You all take the Train first, please help me take Lin Shuang with you. I'll stay here."
Himeko glanced subtly in the direction of the stars, nodded, and prepared to lead her people away.
"Can..."
March 7th wanted to say something more, but Himeko had already turned around, grabbed Hoshi's wrist, and led her away.
As someone who knew the inside story, Lin Shuang instructed Asta:
"Don't worry, everything will be alright."
After saying that, he grabbed March 7th's arm, turned around and left, heading towards where the Star Rail Express was parked.
"Hey... Lin Shuang, don't pull us... We can't just run away like this, can we?"
March 7th actually wanted to stay and help, but both their leader, Himeko, and the powerful Lin Shuang chose to leave.
Moreover, each person brought one child, leaving no room for objection.
Dan Heng, whom we met halfway through the journey, was a taciturn and taciturn man, so we couldn't count on him.
But at least March 7th confirms that Himeko is definitely not the kind of person who would only choose to protect herself in the face of trouble.
So when she spoke up weakly, she was actually trying to start a conversation and ask for a reason.
Hoshi, who was being led by Himeko, also glanced over instinctively.
But she noticed that Lin Shuang was instead looking at her.
"Our departure is the only way to save the Space Station."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
March 7th stared blankly at Lin Shuang, while Himeko seemed to be deep in thought.
Dan Heng frowned slightly and glanced at Xing.
Lin Shuang continued to explain:
"The Doomsday Beast is targeting the Stellaron; wherever the Stellaron is, that's where it will be. We can't escape, so we can't put the battlefield in the Master Control Zone."
"Huh? Us? Stellaron? You don't mean the Stellaron is on us, do you? We didn't steal anything!"
On March 7th, his mind went blank for a moment, and he waved his hands repeatedly, trying to clear himself of suspicion.
Dan Heng probably guessed what was going on, but said nothing.
Xing was still completely oblivious and hadn't reacted at all. After all, she had just lost her Remembrance, so she couldn't be expected to do much more.
As for Himeko, she guessed more of the inside story from Lin Shuang's words.
This piqued her interest in Lin Shuang's background, or rather, her social circle.
But for now, she still needs to oversee the overall situation of the Astral Express Crew:
"In short, let's listen to Lin Shuang for now. We'll discuss the details after the incident. For now, let's get as far away from the Master Control Zone as possible."
"Oh... well, I don't really understand it anyway, but Himeko you've said so, Himeko, okay then."
March 7th is an optimist; when she can't figure something out, she tends to abandon her thoughts first. After all, both Himeko and Dan Heng are intellectual types.
If she just needs to lose her head at crucial moments and obediently follow orders, she's less likely to cause trouble.
"So, where do we go now? Let me remind you, the Doomsday Beast is an Anti-Matter Legion; tearing through the Shield will be a piece of cake for it."
Dan Heng's timely entry into the topic made his meaning quite clear.
If it's confirmed that the Doomsday Beast are watching them, then they should be prepared for close combat.
It's definitely not enough with just March 7th and Dan Heng's methods; we'll at least need to find a place where Himeko can summon the Orbital Cannon.
Or go and meet up with Welt.
Himeko clearly understood the layout of the entire Space Station better than Lin Shuang.
She quickly selected an area in the elevator and said:
"Go to the Supply Zone the Maintenance Department works, and from there go to the nearest Platform where we'll meet Welt."
"Uncle Yang? Uncle Yang is here too? Wasn't he supposed to stay in the car?"
On March 7th, someone peeked out curiously, Dan Heng, standing nearby, explained:
"The Train's Train Recorder is recording our movements at all times. With such a lot of activity from the Space Station, it's impossible for Mr. Welt not to notice."
"Yes, I can guarantee that your Uncle Yang is on his way."
Himeko watched the elevator descend and joined the conversation.
"Right now, we can only handle the Doomsday Beast, but if the 'Emanator Destruction' also arrives, things will be hard to say..."
Just then, a "ding" sounded.
The elevator arrived at the target compartment at that moment.
The cabin door opened, and although everyone's gaze was still fixed on Miss Himeko, they still stepped out of the elevator first.
She glanced at Xing, who seemed a little confused, and said with a smile:
"Let's get out of here first. We'll explain the rest later."
"Um."
Xing nodded. Although she hadn't quite figured out the situation yet, based on their interaction just now, the members of the Star Rail Express seemed to be quite nice.
Considering the Space Station's reaction to the Astral Express Crew, it's safest to stick with the people on the Train for now.
Lin Shuang nodded in agreement, then revealed an expectant smile:
"Be careful later, I'll do my best to suppress that Doomsday Beast."
Volume 1: Chapter 165 Alright, time to change to Dragon Knight!
The group continued moving towards their destination.
After turning around and seeing Lin Shuang's expression, March 7th couldn't help but complain:
