Dan Heng, whose expression was always cold and detached.
Decided that if they ever had a chance to meet again.
He ought to at least thank Lin Chen in person.
Thank him for looking after and protecting the Astral Express.
After all, guarding the Astral Express had once been his duty.
"Seeing an old friend fighting on the distant shores of the Star Sea."
"Actually feels pretty nice..."
"Once I've dealt with a few troublesome matters, perhaps I should go back for a visit."
He nodded silently.
Then slipped his phone, its screen now dark, into the pocket of his teal coat.
Picking up his simple, ancient-looking teal spear.
Dan Heng leaped and darted across the upturned eaves and teal roof tiles.
Before long, he vanished into the bustling night market of starskiffs.
Calm and perceptive as he was, Dan Heng could naturally tell.
The two old friends who had traveled with him aboard the Astral Express.
Both seemed to have grown quite close to Lin Chen.
But Dan Heng paid no attention whatsoever to such human relationships.
Now that neither he nor Welt Yang was aboard the Astral Express.
That newcomer was the only one left who could protect it.
Late at night, in the Herta Space Station's Supply Zone.
On the Starrail Platform, already marred by spreading cracks.
The mature red-haired beauty's snowy white dress fluttered.
Her lovely, shapely figure.
Moved with supreme agility and elegance.
As she fought fiercely against the mountain-sized Doomsday Beast.
Her ingenious, wondrous suitcase unfolded.
The Monomolecular Saw traced a blazing arc dozens of meters long.
Leaving deep cuts in the armor over the Doomsday Beast's head.
A dark gold drone.
Also circled and roamed the airspace around Himeko.
Following her movements.
And launching follow-up attacks at the Doomsday Beast.
