They Call Me Daddy (Honkai Star Rail)

"Ah! Finally back at the space station! I can finally take a good look around! I was almost going crazy after being on the train for the past few days!"

March 7th hopped down from the express and ran to the edge of the platform, taking deep breaths of the space station's artificial air, stretching and revealing a hint of her white belly.

"Yeah, it has been a while since we were last here. We have quite a few things to buy this time. Looks like I'll need to find Asta."

Looking at the list of supplies written by Pom-Pom, Himeko rubbed her temples with a bit of a headache.

This most recent expedition had lasted far too long, and many of the daily necessities on the Star Rail train were nearly depleted. Even her coffee was running low...

"By the way, this is your first time at the space station, right Wende?"

Himeko smiled at Wende, who was looking around with a curious expression.

"Uh... Yes, it is."

Wende seemed a bit embarrassed, scratching the back of his head, as if realizing his curiosity was a bit excessive. Even though he had seen countless videos and guides about the space station, seeing it in person was far more impressive. It was definitely much more impactful than seeing it on a computer screen in a game!

"It's not a big deal. When March first came here, she was even more amazed than you."

Himeko said with a smile.

"Himeko!!"

March 7th, who was still placing orders on her phone, puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish and pouted at Himeko.

"Well, it's understandable to be surprised after being trapped in ice for so long, right?"

As she spoke, March 7th walked over to Dan Heng and nudged him with her elbow, seemingly seeking his opinion.

Dan Heng didn’t respond immediately but looked somewhat serious as he scanned the empty platform. Normally, there should be quite a few space station staff here, and there should also be someone to receive them since the Astral Express had arrived.

But ever since they entered the space station, they hadn’t seen a single person. Even the conductor had complained about not receiving docking information.

Although the express had a fixed docking platform, it was unusual not to receive any notification.

Himeko also realized the seriousness of the situation. Normally, she would receive a welcome notification from the Space Station after arrival, but this time, the latest message on her phone was from March asking her to come out for afternoon tea.

She immediately sent a text to Asta.

[Asta?]

[Send Error: Network Abnormal]

Even March 7th noticed the problem, as the Herta Space Station shopping website suddenly wouldn’t open, and her phone had no signal.

"It looks like there’s indeed a problem with the space station. Wende, return to the train for now. I’ll look for Asta. Dan Heng, take March to check out what’s going on at the space station. Maybe you can help in some way."

Himeko instructed everyone.

March 7th and Dan Heng nodded, preparing their weapons and getting ready to enter the space station through Platform 1.

"Miss Himeko, can I go with Dan Heng and the others?"

Wende stepped forward to ask. If it were before the system issues, he might have listened to Kiko and stayed safely on the train. But now, things are different! He had gained new strength and had some self-defense abilities.

Moreover, if he didn’t go now, he might miss the chance to meet the players for the first time, which was a great opportunity to build rapport!

"Well..."

Himeko hesitated a bit. Although she could sense that Wende was definitely not a weakling, after the recent incident, she was concerned about him...

"Don't worry, Miss Himeko. I won’t be a burden..."

Seeing the concern in Himeko’s eyes, Wende was deeply touched. Even though they had only known each other for a week, Himeko had already treated him like one of her own, which warmed his heart.

Wende smiled and held out his hand, with an electric needle composed of arcs of electricity floating in his palm.

Dan Heng looked at the electric needle in surprise, while March 7th patted her chest and reassured Himeko.

"Don't worry, Himeko! We’ll make sure to protect Wende! Right, Dan Heng?"

Looking at the lively March 7th, Dan Heng sighed helplessly and nodded to Himeko.

"If that’s the case... then Wende can go with March and the others. But... be careful."

"Yes, Miss Himeko, you should be careful too!"

Himeko headed towards Platform 2, while Wende, March 7th, and Dan Heng set off towards Platform 1.

He glanced at the system’s display screen, and his recovery skills and high base health reassured him greatly.

With such abundant healing power! Forget injuries—he was confident the 4 of them would all come back unharmed!

As for why there were four of them...

Somewhere in the space station, a purple-haired beauty was slowly walking into a room...
