Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Home Sweet Home
-I guess this is goodbye.
-Yes, it is goodbye.
At the port, Feixiao, Jiaoqiu and Moze came to say goodbye to me.
-What's the matter? Are you so depressed about me saying goodbye? Let me caress those little ears of yours for the last time~ Hay, who's a good girl~.
-Ah!
-Okay, don't do that in public please.
The blush was clearly seen on Feixiao's and my faces, Jiaoqiu and Moze just smiled awkwardly. Our relationship... we spent the whole night without sleeping, we didn't control the volume; of course, everyone knows it.....
-It's like you said, the very bad news is your goodbye. I will miss you very much.
Feixiao's feelings for me are sincere, there's no way I can just leave things like that after seeing that "smile".
-Don't exaggerate so much, we'll keep in touch. Also, catch.
-Ah.
Catching the small accessory I threw at her, Feixiao's eyes widen in surprise.
-This is...
-An engagement ring, take care of it.
I turned away with the intention of hiding my blush. Shit, this just made it more obvious, didn't it?
-How unromantic are you, is this how you propose to your first wife?
-If you have complaints, give it back to me!
-No, I'm keeping it. The position of second wife is mine.
After the previous sad smile turned into a radiant smile, now I said goodbye to everyone and got on the private ship that was prepared for me.
...

-I'm back.
-You were late.
In front of me, an angry Herta with her arms crossed greets me as soon as I arrive at the Herta Space Station. Of course, the Herta I'm referring to is the real one.
-You grew up.
-Oh, you don't know. I grew up, matured, fucked and even died. I experienced everything, am I not great?
-Give me back my compliment.
Thus, after 3 long years, I finally returned to my home in this universe, and my former daily life resumed.
-By the way, that was my paid vacation. Now pay me, I will also charge extra for the delay.
-Is it just me, or did you become even more brazen than before?
-Maybe? Who knows? -Do you dislike it?
-Actually, it's quite exciting... -I'm sorry, I'll make sure...
-Sorry, I'll be sure to change for the better then.
...

What followed in my life, I can only say that it was much calmer compared to my escape.
It's like the calm after the storm.
Ahh~ How peaceful~
-Aventurine, where's Topaz?
-Nadie? Why do you want to know where Topaz is?
-I need to check something with her.
-Not again. Every time you come for Topaz, she always ends up putting her own wallet to give you all kinds of discount, don't you feel sorry for her?
-Well, I don't deny it. It's my fault for being so charming.
-Is it just me or have you become narcissistic?
-You're imagining it.
-*Sigh*. Anyway, what do you need this time? I'll see if I can help you.
-All right, I'll check with you then, Aventurine. To tell you the truth, the ship you guys sold me almost killed me. I want to make a claim.
-Nadie, the fact that you were attacked by Aha is well known throughout the IPC. Herta made quite a fuss about finding you. You can't blame us for that.... Besides, your insurance has already expired.
-Mommy Jade, did you hear?! Aventurine is bothering me!
-Hey, stop it! She'll end up believing you for real! I don't want any more buttock whippings as punishment! Why is Jade so fond of you in the first place?! No, rather, how did you get into the VVIP zone at Pier Point?!
-I bribed Opal with a lollipop.
-Are you serious?! Again?!
With the intervention of Mommy Jade and Topaz, I got a new state-of-the-art spaceship and compensation for the accident. I had to give Opal another lollipop to get him on my side.

I always made sure to keep in touch with everyone.
Firefly, Silver Wolf, Kafka, Blade, Elio, Feixiao, Jiaoqiu, Moze, I keep talking to everyone from a distance and, whenever I have time, I go to visit them. But, this time, I always have a Herta doll watching me just in case.
After my disappearance of 3 years, Herta became more overprotective of me.
What else can I say, it's my sugar mommy's wish so I'll play along because it's Herta.
Besides, it's not like it's anything new. As Herta's secretary, I always have to be by her side at all times. And this time, we came to planet Tornillia for I don't know what reasons to do I don't know what.
-Oh, Silvie, long time no see!
-Nadie, dear, could you step back for a while? When I'm done dealing with that machine over there, we can go play a few video games in private.
-Silver Wolf, I'd appreciate it if you'd just give up already. No matter how hard you try, you'll never be able to access my data.
-Screwillum, 76th member of the Circle of Geniuses. Just because you're an Emanator doesn't mean you're invincible.
-*Sigh*. If you're not going to give up, you leave me no choice. I'll show you why you don't stand a chance against me.
Silver Wolf and Tornillum are fighting for some reason and are still having this virtual battle for hours now.
-Herta, don't we need to stop them?
I asked curiously.
-Let them be, it's not our problem.
-But... Isn't this Nous here? Is it okay to ignore him just like that?
Holding up a metal ball with wires sticking out of it, I asked in confusion.
---Uh...?
My comment perplexed the three geniuses present.
-N-Nous?
The Aeon of Erudition, Nous.
-Since when?
Herta asked astonished.
Since I completed one tenth of this 1000-piece puzzle. Silvie and Torni were taking so long with their confrontation that I decided to entertain myself with this. Seriously, their fight is as boring as watching a submarine fight while out at sea. But since everyone was ignoring Nous, I figured it was just me freaking out so I ignored him too.
-So -So how did you figure out it's real?
-He helped me complete the puzzle in an instant. Look, 1000 pieces.
-...
-...
-...
Everyone was quiet.
I was a little scared at first too but, this guy turned out to be very nice. He even helped me when I offered to play puzzle with me. I guess because of Yaoshi, Lan, Aha and Oroboros, I got too used to dealing with Aeons.
-Nous, you're tiny.
(Correction, tiny is you, Nadie. This is just a miniature body I created, controlled from a distance, the main body is 11,325 light years away. I came because I detected an interesting existence, that is you Nadie).
-You're too out of date, Nous. The little Nadie meme has gone out of fashion and that interesting existence thing is overused, it sounds boring. Update your thinking module if you don't want people to get bored of you.
(Correction, the little Nadie meme will never go out of style. Abundance Aeon Yaoshi just sent me 12,355 photos of you monitoring your growth. In conclusion, to Aeons like us, you will always be tiny and a newborn baby, Nadie).
-Hey, are they conspiring against me? Why is everyone secretly recording me? What happened to my privacy?
(Singularities like you have no privacy, you are destined to be studied by those curious).
-You know what, go away, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I won't hold you anymore either, this metal ball is fucking heavy. Float on your own.
(Okay, I'll leave after you answer this last question. Nadie, do you want to be my Emanador?)
-No thanks. I hate physics and dislike studying, I'm an adult and I'm past that stage, I refuse to degrade myself back to what I was before.
(I understand, I'll turn you into one just like it.)
-Then don't ask...
With this, that's 5 Aeons that bless me.

Author's note:
Morning, author here. For those who noticed, yes, the main character has my nickname as a name because that's what I'm called in the Honkai Star Rail.
In these last 10 episodes the development always kept an accelerated pace, that's partly because I wanted to get to the canon as soon as possible and another because of lack of information; what I'm getting at is, I dislike the idea of writing boring filler.
I must say, am I not amazing? I made so much progress in just 3 days. I mean, every single one of these chapters I write on the spot and then upload them right away, I don't even have a chapter saved in stock. Am I not a genius? Well, this also means that the updates depend solely on my state of mind.
Starting from the next chapter, the canon will begin. Also, I plan to slow down the pace. It means that finally the Slice of Life tag will do the trick. If I keep up this pace of development, I'm afraid I'll run out of content in less than 100 chapters. And if there's one thing I terribly hate about fanfics it's the multiverse, I hate it when the protagonists travel to another anime or game when they didn't even finish the plot of their own world; so don't expect any elements from another anime or game except for Honkai Impact 3 which is a Star Rail connected universe.
Also to mention, if anyone wants to add me as a friend on Honkai Star Rail, welcome. Here's my UID: 617484504. I play on the American server.
P.S. I never refuse jades as gifts.
