The Gamer who traveled to Honkai: Star Rail

Pei Guang stared at the Robe, a series of question marks practically floating above his head. He was well aware of how powerful the Aeons were—in this world, even the so-called weakest among them was nothing more than an untouchable, background-level existence.

And yet, according to the records, the Aeon of Beauty had vanished a long time ago. So just how long ago had someone managed to steal something from them? And how did it end up stuffed inside a trash can?

Noticing Pei Guang's odd expression, March 7th curiously leaned in. "What's wrong? Your face looks kinda funny."

Pei Guang sighed. "This equipment is a little weird. But it's still a strong piece of gear. Basically, it's like getting a transformation device—it lets you freely change the appearance of your clothing. And if you meet certain conditions tied to the Path of Beauty, the equipment will become even stronger."

Stelle's eyes sparkled with excitement. "That good?! So, who's getting it?"

Pei Guang studied the description thoughtfully. "It seems like anyone can use it. Even I'm tempted. But since Elysia was the one who pulled it, and it seems to suit her best, she should have it."

Before Elysia could even react, he swiftly handed the Robe back to her.

"Take it. The rule in our crew is simple—whoever pulls the item gets to keep it."

March 7th nodded in agreement. "Yup, yup! It sounds like an amazing piece of equipment, but we all follow the same rule. You're one of us now, so if you found it and it's useful to you, it's yours to keep!"

Was March 7th jealous? Of course, she was!

What girl wouldn't want an outfit-changing piece of equipment? And this wasn't just any outfit-changer—it was the Robe of the Beauty, tied to the Aeon of Beauty!

But jealousy aside, March 7th had no intention of taking something that wasn't hers. If anything, she knew that if she ever pulled a rare item like this and someone else took it away, she'd be heartbroken. Probably for a long, long time.

March 7th might have been the type to side with her friends over logic, but she also had a strong sense of empathy. If Elysia managed to pull something this good, then surely her own turn would come in the future.

Elysia took the Robe of the Beauty, glancing at the others in curiosity. "So, you really want me to use it myself? No problem! Let's see... How do I activate it? Just wear it like a normal Robe?"

Not overthinking it, she draped the Robe over her shoulders. And the moment it settled onto her body, she felt its strange, mystical properties take effect.

The instant she equipped it, the Robe itself vanished. But at the same time, she instinctively understood how to use it.

With just a thought, she could alter her clothing into any form she desired. And it wasn't just limited to clothes—her accessories, even the weapons in her hands, could all transform according to her imagination.

Elysia took her time before making any changes. Instead, she turned to Pei Guang and the others and asked,

"Hmm~ There are so many beautiful outfits, this one looks good, that one looks good… I can't decide which to choose. How about you all help me pick a theme?"

Pei Guang: "Pick an outfit?"

Elysia nodded. "Yes, tell me what you'd like to see! Hehe~ I have plenty of gorgeous outfits stored in my mind. Now that I have this equipment, I can swap between them anytime~ So, what theme should I go with? Anything is fine, even—"

Pei Guang pondered for a moment. "I'm not picky. Whether it's nothing at all or wrapped up in a blanket, as long as it looks good, I like it—because I appreciate beauty (and I'm lustful)."

Stelle glanced at him. "As expected of Ah Guang, saying something like that with such confidence."

Pei Guang: "That's because I'm honest. I deserve praise!"

March 7th: "Then you're amazing!"

Pei Guang: "Thanks for the compliment! But if I really had to pick a theme… how about a maid outfit? Preferably black and white. Oh, and it absolutely has to come with white thigh-high stockings and white gloves. A soft, delicate girl looks best in white, and Ellie has great legs—whether paired with white or… nothing at all, it'd be perfect!"

March 7th: "Hiss… The way you describe it, I can picture it already. Now I'm really looking forward to it."

Pei Guang: "Right? I'm telling you, my sense of aesthetics is top-tier."

That wasn't just empty boasting from Pei Guang. Sure, he often wore gear that looked like it came straight out of a horror game, but that was because those pieces had good stats. Players had to make sacrifices for power, after all. Those ridiculous-looking helmets? The ones that inflicted mental damage on enemies? Pure gold.

But when it came to fashion outside of stat bonuses, Pei Guang was on another level. Whether it was DNF's fashion scene, JX3's styling, WoW, Moonlight Blade, Justice Online, or even Koikatsu, HS2, AI Shoujo, he was the type of player whose character cards people begged to copy.

Elysia gave it some thought. "A maid outfit, huh? Got it~ Hmm!"

She snapped her fingers, and the Robe of the Beauty activated. In an instant, her combat uniform transformed into a maid outfit.

The design centered around white as the primary color. Unlike traditional maid café uniforms, Elysia's maid dress had exposed sections on the sides of her waist, emphasizing her slender figure. A floral embellishment adorned her right chest and left hip, perfectly showcasing the asymmetrical beauty of the design.

Whether it was Pei Guang, Stelle, or March 7th, all three of them focused their gaze on Elysia. It was just a simple maid outfit, yet on her, it looked utterly stunning.

Feeling their eyes on her, Elysia put her hands behind her back and tilted her body slightly, looking at them with a playful smile.

"Alright~ How do I look? This outfit was designed by Eden~ Do you like it?"

She flaunted her beauty with ease and even winked at them. Pei Guang, having seen many grand spectacles before, managed to resist the charm of the Path of Beauty's finest creation.

March 7th, however, quickly took out her camera. "So pretty! So cute! This gorgeous moment has to be recorded!"

Elysia giggled. "Sure, sure~ If we take a picture together, people will definitely think we're sisters~"

As March 7th approached, Elysia reached out and hooked arms with her, both of them facing the camera together.

Pei Guang took out the pink camera March 7th had given him, because the scene before him was truly picturesque. Whether it was March 7th or Elysia, both were top-tier beauties.

In Pei Guang's view, girls like them would be high-popularity characters in any game—perhaps even the main heroine!
