Chapter 1086 Epilogue: As I Write
Without delay, Xing immediately set off for Belleburg...
Upon arriving in Beloborg, Star found High Warden Bronya, who was also present. Bronya greeted Star, saying, "Long time no see, Star. I heard you were coming, so I brought Seele along."
Seele complained, "It's all Destruction's fault. The children in the orphanage are too scared to go out now... Never mind, what are you planning to talk about?"
Xing then revealed his purpose and began to talk about "As I Write," recounting the story behind it and Onphalus's current situation...
After hearing this, Seele couldn't help but praise, "I heard that the entire galaxy trembled three times this time, and you were able to handle it smoothly. You're really good."
Bronya: "Thanks to the anti-Iron Tomb vaccine brought by Miss Toppa, and our timely shutdown of the Creation Engine, Belloberg did not face another crisis."
Don't worry, the reconstruction plan has not been affected, but it must be said... a ripple in the universe can become a monstrous wave on a remote planet.
The same applies to Onphalus. As a fellow developing civilization, we are willing to contribute to its future. Goodwill is like a torch; it burns brighter only when passed on.
Seele also agreed: "I won't say anything fancy, but I'll definitely help if I can. By the way, Star, I also have something to ask you. Come with me later."
Xing looked puzzled after hearing this: "What's so mysterious about it?"
"Don't ask so many questions, just come. I'm definitely not kidding you."
Starry Sky Railway Dan Heng: "Could the matter that Miss Seele asked Xing to handle be related to the lower district?"
Starry Sky Railway Seele: "Who knows? But it's possible. I just hope it's not something bad."
Honkai Impact 3rd White Seele: "I hope nothing bad has happened to anyone."
Xing followed Seele to the lower level and saw Hook lying on the hospital bed, barely alive.
Hook saw Xing and said weakly, "Honorary member? You've finally arrived! My back is about to give way..."
Xing looked at Hook lying on the bed and immediately felt worried: "Hook, what's wrong with you...?"
Seele: "Clara told me that she used a hole-punching machine to help with mining, but the power was too strong and she broke her leg. I'm afraid... she'll never be able to fly on interstellar flights again. She wants to hear some new stories from outer space from you, so she won't have any regrets."
Upon hearing this, Xing's eyes widened. She glanced at Hook and then turned to Natasha: "Is the hole-punching machine really that powerful? What did Dr. Natasha say?"
Natasha was silent at first, then said, "Well... just take it as true, don't worry too much about the details."
"Honorary team member, you'll help Hook, right?" Hook's tone was pitiful, his big eyes blinking.
Xing had no choice: "Since you've all said so..."
Then, Xing recounted the story of "As I Write" to Hook, line by line, especially the exciting adventure stories—in the tone of a bathhouse elf, of course.
Hook looked on with anticipation after hearing this: "Wow~ Legends, galaxies, giant monsters... How cool! I told you long ago that there are plenty of fun things out there, but Julian and the others didn't believe me! I'm going to tell them right now!"
Hook jumped out of bed in a flash and ran away.
Starry Sky Railway, March 7th: "What the hell? Wasn't Hook injured and lying in bed? How did he suddenly jump up and run away?"
Genshin Impact Xingqiu: "Is there any need to say that? Hook was just pretending all along. He just wanted Xing to tell him a story."
Zero Phaethon said, "You can tell from Dr. Natasha's helpless expression just now that they were all playing along with Hook."
Starry Sky Iron Railway Hook: "Hehehe, after all, people really want to hear the honorary team member tell them the story in person!"
Starry Sky Railway Pioneer Star: "Hmm, but this kid is too naughty. It's not good if he keeps acting like this. I'll give your dad a Seven Wolves sometime."
Starry Sky Iron Railway Hook: "Huh? Honorary member, you can't do this!"
Cosmic Wanderer Gao Xuan: "Perfect, let's give this child a complete childhood."
Watching Hook run away, Xing looked at Natasha: "Didn't she break her leg? How come she ran faster than me?"
Natasha, without batting an eye, said in a serious tone, "Maybe your story was so captivating that it cured her without any treatment. Hehe... I admit I was just joking around with Hook earlier. She just wanted to see you. Kids are all like that."
Seele's expression was equally clueless: "Turns out it was a false alarm... Oh well, it's good that everyone's alright. I should probably go now. Keep an eye on Hook, lest she cause any more trouble..."
After Seele left, Natasha couldn't help but say, "Children seem to have inexhaustible energy; youth is truly wonderful. Speaking of which, that book seems quite interesting. How about I have a copy? Next time a child misbehaves, I'll use this book to appease him."
Xing: "It feels like you're treating it like a fairy tale..."
"What's wrong with fairy tales? Your stories contain struggle, courage, and love, which are qualities that children should learn. Moreover, fairy tales are very difficult to create; you must believe that beautiful things exist—in my opinion, sometimes adults need fairy tales more than children."
“Since you’ve said that…” Xing handed Natasha a copy of “As I Write”.
"Thank you, could you also sign this for me and write a message? I remember there's a word specifically for this kind of thing... autograph session, yes, consider this practice for autograph sessions."
Upon hearing Natasha's words, Xing began to ponder: "(A message... what should I write?)"
Xing thought of a wonderful message and slowly wrote: "This is the story of Onphalus, dedicated to everyone who admires heroes. May we meet again in the sea of stars."
Xingqiong Railway Xilian: "It's really well written. As expected of a partner, you can write such a meaningful message."
Starry Sky Railway Pioneer Star: "Actually, I was going to write 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and Dan Heng was just making a feint."
Starry Sky Railway Dan Heng: "Uh... that's not surprising at all."
Natasha looked at the message Xing had written: "It's really well written. Now I'm the first person to have your book exclusively signed. I will pass this book down through generations, for five hundred years, a thousand years... as long as children grow up, and their children have children, it will never be forgotten."
After all, some things must be remembered, such as that Great Guardian, and all the struggles that have taken place in the interstellar space…
It was Hook's voice that came through: "Old... Dr. Natasha, I've brought her! Where's the book? I can't remember the important details."
Natasha: "Then, let me tell the story again?"
