Honkai Star Rail: I am the Emanator of all Eons

Chapter 13: Chapter 13: The Arrival of the Astral Express



-Kafka?

Stelle, the Trailblazer, had woken up.

-Perfect, so you remember me.

-Sniff... sniff....

Looking this way, Stelle notices my presence in a corner, crying in a fetal position.

-Who...?

-Don't worry about my son, he'll get over it.

-Son...?

That unexpected revelation left Stelle speechless, even before she could ask anything else, Kafka makes use of the Spirit Enchantress.

-Listen to me: you are confused right now. You don't know who you are, why you're here, or what you're going to do next. You think I look familiar, but you don't know if you can trust me? But none of that matters. All you need to know is that I'm leaving and you'll be alone on this Space Station. So, from now on, you will no longer think about your past or have doubts about yourself.

Kafka's skill takes immediate effect, every word that leaves his lips rewrites Stelle's memory without any difficulty.

-Listen to me: you will soon encounter all kinds of dangers and difficulties, but you will also have many wonderful experiences. You will meet companions who will treat you as if you were their family and you will embark on incredible adventures with them.... At the end of your journey, everything that intrigues and worries you will be resolved. That's the future Elio has envisioned for you. Do you like it?

-Where are you going?

Stelle's voice sounded limp, as if she might faint at any moment.

-To the next stop, to prepare for the future that is written. This is like doing embroidery. Both you and I can only add one gold thread at a time, but in the end we will form a very beautiful pattern.

-How much time do you think you need? According to the script, the Astral Express crew is about to arrive. We can't meet them. And you Nadie, get up now. How long will you keep crying? It's only a few videos, it's not that big a deal.

The fact that Kafka was taking his time irritated Silver Wolf. And the fact that Silver Wolf was treating my problems as "minor" also made me angry.

-Hmph!

My reaction made Mommy Kafka smile tenderly.

-I know, Silver Wolf. Just give me one more minute.

Returning her gaze to Stelle, Kafka continued.

-I have to go now. Listen to me: some people will come and find you very soon. Go with them. You won't remember anything except me.

-Kafka...

-When you have a chance to make a decision, make one you know you won't regret.

Turning her gaze to me, Kafka unexpectedly adds words that do not belong to the original game.

-But, if you ever find yourself lost or confused, always keep in mind that you can trust Nadie. He will never betray or abandon you.

-...

Stelle's eyelids lowered, her consciousness dropped. Kafka stands up and turns his back on her, Silver Wolf also prepares to leave.

-That last advice was unnecessary.

-Hou~ Could it be that my child is jealous~?

-In your dreams.

-Fufufu~ Don't worry, you'll always be my number one~.

-I'm serious...

I'm not kidding, I'm serious. For some reason, when Kafka said that last piece of advice to Stelle, a terrible chill came over me.

-Well, Kafka and I will leave. Nadie, the rest is up to you.

-Sure, have a good trip.

I said goodbye to both of them.

-Take care~

-Call me if any inconvenience happens, mommy will fly to you right away. Come on, one last hug~

-Go now...

Just like that, Kafka and Silver Wolf left, leaving Stelle and me alone.

-*Sigh*. I guess I'll kill time playing some video games.

I proceeded to sit next to Stelle, pulled out my cell phone and opened a game app. Now all that's left to do is wait for Dan Heng and March 7 to arrive.

-Hm?

For some reason, Stelle's body that was previously lying in sleep shifted, made such a sudden movement that she rested her head on my lap.

-Hey.

I gently lowered her head from my lap and laid her down next to me, but Stelle again made an unexpected movement to bury her face in my crotch.

-Hey, you're awake, aren't you?!

-...

With a suspicious look, I removed her face from my crotch and laid her back gently on the floor. Unlike before, this time I got up and moved away, sitting down away from her and turning my back to her.

-Now there should be no problem. Hk!

I thought keeping my distance would make a difference but it was just the opposite, a body fell on my back and hugged me with overwhelming force.

-You've got to be kidding me!

We began to struggle against each other and somehow Stelle found herself hugging my waist.

-Why the hell are you being so strong when you're passed out! Hey, that's my pants! Don't pull! Stop it! You're going to rip my pants! Okay, I'm going to let you sleep on my lap so please stop pulling on my pants!

It was then that the door to this room suddenly opened. There, Dan Heng and March 7 looked at us with a blank stare.....

-Sorry, wrong room. Let's go March.

-Sorry to interrupt you.

-You two go back!

The fact that even March is so cooperative made me more desperate.

With a desperate move, I pulled off my own pants to free myself from Stelle's grip and ran towards those two to stop them.

-This isn't what they think it is, she and I just met a few minutes ago! I was just looking out for her because I found her passed out!

-Kyaa! Why did you take off your pants?!

As March screamed covering her eyes leaving certain questionable openings between her fingers, Dan Heng remained calm.

-She? Passed out? Are you sure she's not faking it?

Dan Heng questioned as he pointed his finger at Stelle, his gaze showing much doubt at Stelle's behavior.

Currently, Stelle was on the floor, hugging my pants tightly against her face as she squirmed strangely, even her deep breaths could be heard from here.

-I knew the Trailblazer was messed up in the head but this is already disturbing...

I'm starting to doubt if joining the Astral Express is a good idea or not....

-I know you won't believe me or might even take me for crazy, but yes, she's passed out.

-...

-...

Wah... obviously they don't believe me.

Whether it was luck or fate, Stelle woke up.

-Ugh.

Seeing her acting in some pain, Dan Heng and March 7 approached Stelle with concern.

-Are you okay, can you hear me, do you remember your name?

March 7 was quick to inquire about her well-being.

-I don't remember anything...

-Oh, this looks bad.... Try again! You should at least be able to remember your name...

-All right, I'll try.

For some reason, Stelle brought my pants up to her face and took a deep breath....

-I remember, my name is Stelle.

-...

-...

-...

Are we supposed to be worried about her?

-I'm sorry, could I have my pants back? I'm getting cold.

More than cold, it's really uncomfortable to go without pants outside my private room.

Stelle looked me up and down curiously, pointed her finger at me and asked.

-Pervert?

-Look who's talking! And give me back my pants now!

-Ah...

I took the pants out of Stelle's hands with a sharp movement and she was saddened for some reason.

Phew, I finally feel comfortable again. Clothes are undoubtedly the greatest invention of mankind.

-I introduce myself. I'm Dan Heng, and this is March 7th.

-I'm Nadie. Nice to meet you, Stelle.

-Nadie?

After we introduced ourselves, for some reason Stelle just stared at me.

-Oh, so you're Nadie! Chief investigator Asta asked us to get a message to you!

-Asta? What did she say?

March's statement surprised me. Could it be that there will be no signal and that's why he sent me this message through them?

-Yes, Asta asked us to tell you: "Nadie, if you are done with .... you know, please come to the Main Command Area. Your presence would be very helpful."

So it was out of consideration...

The way March tried to simulate Asta's voice was kind of cute.

Damn, has he figured us out yet? No, wait, if I think about it, my close relationship with the Estelaron Hunters is no secret, even Herta completely ignored Silvie yesterday.... At this point, I think even the IPC knows but they didn't do anything to me because I never cause trouble (lie).

-By the way Nadie, are your legs ok? Why did you have bruises and teeth marks all over? Did you get bitten by a cat? Do you need a doctor?

-I-I'm fine, don't worry March. I already gave myself first aid...

Kafkaaaaaa!

March's innocence is too much for my heart, I just hope nothing corrupts her in the future that awaits us.

-Is something wrong?

Dan Heng notices Stelle's fixed gaze on me, it's so intense that it somehow feels somewhat uncomfortable. Thanks to Dan Heng's question, March notices this too.

-What's wrong Stelle, do you know Nadie? He said he found you passed out a few minutes ago, and it's also the first time he's met you. Or could it be that Nadie also has memory problems?

-No, I'm complete. Don't put me in the same boat as her.

If I am to guess, Stelle's behavior is due to Kafka's Spirit Enchantress, there is no other explanation more reasonable than this.

-Nadie... that name rings a bell from somewhere else....

Dan Heng's mutterings are audible to me. If I am to guess, his suspicions come from my reputation as Emanator of several Aeons at the same time; but as this news sounds absurd, many take it as if it were fake news.

This is bad, we are getting off topic. I cannot allow this to go on like this.

-Sorry Dan Heng, could you explain the situation? If Asta needs my presence so urgently, it means something bad must have happened to the Space Station.

-It's as you suspect Nadie, the Space Station has just been raided by the Antimatter Legion. And Asta asked us to come help with the rescue.

Well, now Stelle should have a better understanding of our current situation.

-Waw. If Asta is so dependent on you, Nadie, doesn't that mean you're someone amazing?

-Well, I don't deny it.

Fumu. I see March understands my charm well, I like it.

-Nadie, Stelle, you two go back to the Main Command Area. Asta and the other investigators took refuge there.

-The Astral Express is also nearby! So don't worry, we'll protect you from the monsters and solve this problem!

The confident presences of Dan Heng and March respectively inspire Stelle with encouragement. Without waiting for my response, Stelle takes my hand and pulls.

-Let's go.

-I can walk alone, don't pull.

-Come on.

-*Sigh*. It's okay.
