Star Rail: I, a Researcher, Joined the Chat Group

Xing nodded from time to time in response as she chatted with March 7th.

Chen Mu and Himeko followed behind them, smiles all over their faces as they watched the two.

Before long.

The four of them arrived at the platform in the Space Station's Support Section, where the train was docked.

Upon reaching the Support Section.

The first thing they saw.

Was an immensely grand and magnificent train.

The train bore ancient patterns, its style somewhat resembling an old steam locomotive.

However.

As a relic of Qlipoth, the Trailblaze Aeon.

The Stellaron Express was naturally far more than it appeared to be.

It possessed countless powers that represented Qlipoth, the Trailblaze Aeon.

Once they entered the train.

Its interior layout was equally refreshing.

What greeted them was an exquisitely decorated, imposing bright-red interior, with elegant and gorgeous chandeliers overhead.

"How is it? Amazing, right?!"

March 7th said proudly.

"Mm."

Xing nodded at that. She truly liked the train's interior design.

Receiving Xing's answer, March 7th grew even happier and shouted inside the train.

"Uncle Yang! Dan Heng! Pom-Pom! We're back!"

In fact.

Welt and Dan Heng had noticed them the moment Chen Mu and the others entered the train.

When they saw Chen Mu.

They were slightly stunned and walked over to them.

"Passenger March 7th, please do not shout inside the train cars."

A short figure came waddling over with squelching footsteps and spoke to March 7th in dissatisfaction.

It looked like a doll, covered in fluffy fur, with an oversized head and long ears. Dressed in a black-and-red uniform, it was exceedingly adorable.

"Got it, got it~"

March 7th replied carelessly before grabbing Xing's hand. "Let me introduce our train to you, Xing!"

With that, she dragged Xing away at once.

Huh?

Xing froze.

She had originally wanted to greet everyone, and she was also very curious about Pom-Pom.

Yet before she could learn anything, March 7th had already dragged her away.

"Honestly, Passenger March 7th is always in such a rush."

Pom-Pom was equally helpless at the sight.

It had originally wanted to ask who the two unfamiliar faces boarding the train were.

Fortunately, although one had been dragged away by March 7th, there was still one left in front of it.

"Himeko, who is this person? And who was that person March 7th dragged away?"

The little fellow asked.

However, when it looked at Chen Mu, its expression immediately froze.

Chen Mu merely smiled at it and looked around.

Come to think of it.

Although he had often dealt with the Train Crew in the past.

This seemed to be his first time boarding the Stellaron Express.

"His name is Chen Mu. He's a researcher at the Space Station. As for the other one, her name is Xing. Perhaps she'll become someone who boards our train in the future."

Himeko answered with a light smile.

"I see, Pom understands."

Pom-Pom nodded, but it continued staring at Chen Mu with a troubled expression.

For some reason.

Despite meeting him for the first time, Pom-Pom found Chen Mu incomparably familiar.

Before Pom-Pom had a chance to ask.

Welt and Dan Heng had already come before Chen Mu.

"Chen Mu, what brings you here?" Welt asked.

Chen Mu replied, "It's like this, Mr. Welt. I came this time specifically on behalf of the Space Station to thank the Train Crew for your help."

"It's nothing. In truth, we didn't really do all that much."

Welt shook his head.

"You can't say that. If the Train Crew hadn't acted in time, the Space Station might have suffered casualties this time."

For a while.

Chen Mu, Welt, Himeko, and Dan Heng began chatting pleasantly.

Meanwhile.

March 7th was taking Xing around the train for a tour.

"Xing, look! This is a phonograph! Himeko picked it up somewhere. Ugh, I don't know why, but Himeko always likes these old things."

"Oh, right, Uncle Yang likes old things too. If you give him a black round disc, Uncle Yang gets really funny."

"I have no idea why they like this stuff. Is it because they're getting old?"

There was a hint of distress in March 7th's voice, but she quickly stopped dwelling on it and continued energetically.

After Xing gave the phonograph a thoughtful look, March 7th dragged her away again.

"Oh, right, right! Let me show you my room! As official members of the Train Crew, everyone has their own room."

"Once you board the train, you'll have your own room too. Of course, you can sleep with me if you want. I don't mind, hehe."

"This is the Data Bank, and it's also Dan Heng's room. There are so many empty rooms on the train, but he insists on sleeping in the Data Bank? Sigh, I really don't get it!"

"Other than me, are there really no normal people on this train? So, Xing, if you can join the Train Crew, that would really be a huge help!"

"..."

In order to get Xing to join the Train Crew.

March 7th enthusiastically introduced everything to her.

When they reached her room.

March 7th took the lead and opened the door.

Xing followed her inside.

It was a pink-themed room, perfectly suited to a young girl's style.

Cute dolls were placed everywhere in the room—on the sofa, on the bed, and even on the windowsill.

The walls were also covered with photographs.

They were all pictures of March 7th with the other members of the Train Crew.

In every single photograph.

March 7th was smiling very happily.

The rest of the furnishings were fairly simple, though the room was a little messy, with clothes scattered all over the furniture.

Only then did March 7th realize.

The young girl's face instantly turned red as she hurriedly put away several pieces of underwear.

"Um... accidents happen sometimes, okay? You didn't see anything, Xing!"

Seeing March 7th's flustered appearance.

Xing snorted with laughter, then could not help bursting into loud laughter.

Himeko's Wild Imagination

Aboard the Stellaron Express.

After having a pleasant conversation with Himeko, Welt, and Dan Heng.

Chen Mu naturally prepared to get up and say goodbye.

Hearing Xing's cheerful laughter, a smile inevitably appeared on his face as well.

Looking at Himeko and the others.

Chen Mu said, "Then I'll be taking my leave first. Everyone in the Train Crew, I still have research to attend to, so it wouldn't be convenient for me to stay long. I'll leave Xing in your care."

"Don't worry. We'll take good care of Xing."

Himeko nodded with a gentle smile and assured Chen Mu.

"And don't forget to have Xing visit Herta's office later. Otherwise, Herta might throw a little tantrum."

Chen Mu said.

Himeko could not help laughing. "No problem."

After greeting everyone, Chen Mu finally left the Stellaron Express.

The members of the Train Crew watched Chen Mu's departing figure, their hearts filled with emotion.

That young man was truly far too outstanding.

What a pity he was not part of the Train Crew.

Only after Chen Mu was out of sight did they withdraw their gazes.

Pom-Pom alone.

Continued staring fixedly in the direction Chen Mu had left, looking utterly distracted.

"What's wrong, Pom-Pom? Chen Mu has already left. What are you still looking at? Do you care that much about Chen Mu?"

Seeing Pom-Pom like this, Himeko teasingly asked.

Come to think of it.

Pom-Pom had been acting strangely today as well.

It had barely spoken the entire time and had simply kept staring at Chen Mu.

As a woman.

Himeko had to admit.

Whether it was his appearance or his inner qualities, Chen Mu's excellence truly did draw women's attention.

But no matter what?
