On a gravel path leading to Rivet Town, Bochang unexpectedly met Seele.
It was completely unforeseen.
Originally, Bochang planned to return to the Overworld to inform everyone about resolving the situation. However...
Seele suddenly appeared.
"Well then, no rush to leave. Let's spend some time walking with Seele first."
In the game "Star Rail," Bochang hadn't progressed far enough in the main storyline for Seele's introduction before his unexpected transmigration occurred.
As a result, he had limited knowledge about this character, Seele.
His impression of her still lingered from the Honkai Impact 3 era, where she exhibited two distinct personalities - Weiss, gentle and introverted, and Schwarz, fiercely protective and aggressive.
But the Seele standing before him now...
Bochang identified as Schwarz.
Although seemingly around the same age as March 7th and Stelle, Seele appeared remarkably mature.
This applied to Bronya as well.
Perhaps due to their experiences navigating society's challenges, both Seele and Bronya had long lost the innocence typically associated with young girls.
"Are you here just to tease me?" Seele didn't expect him to continue engaging with her words. She took a deep breath and said, "Never mind... I don't have time for your nonsense anyway. After all... unlike idle people like you."
With that, Seele didn't even spare Bochang a glance. Gripping her scythe tightly, she planned to bypass him and continue towards Rivet Town.
Noticing her subtle movements, Bochang thought, "She's quite cautious..."
Seele's vigilance was understandable. With Bochang holding the Vow Spear, it was natural for her to be on guard against potential sneak attacks.

[Option 1: Ignore Seele and return to the Overworld — Completion Reward: Significantly increased chance of tripping over nothing.]
[Option Two: Catch up to Seele and say, "Although the number of rift creatures in Rivet Town has significantly decreased, there...still remains danger. Why don't we move together for mutual support?" - Completion Reward: Obtain a random item, ranging from a matchstick to a star destroyer. Note: Such items will...]
These two options...
Left Bochang with absolutely no choice.
"Option Two."
Bochang promptly turned and followed Seele, stating, "While the number of rift creatures in Rivet Town has significantly decreased, there...still remains danger. Why don't we move together for mutual support?"
"So you're afraid to enter alone? What a coward. No matter, feel free to tag along if you wish." Seele glanced at him nonchalantly, "Just don't interfere with me; otherwise...this scythe won't spare you."
Though Seele's tone was unfriendly,
it must be said, she remained quite reasonable.
She immediately agreed with Bochang's suggestion.
It must be said, she was quite reasonable.
She promptly agreed to Bochang's suggestion.
"Additionally... maintain a distance of three meters from me at all times, or else..." Seele's tone remained cold.
Seeing this, Bochang had no choice but to keep his distance.
[Rewards being distributed - Congratulations! You have received a bottle of cola, which will induce feelings of happiness when consumed. Note: Items of this type may...]
"Cola... not bad, certainly better than those sanitary pads before."
Bochang followed closely behind Seele as they re-entered Rivet Town.
The desolate and uninhabited small town still felt eerie.
Occasional gusts sounded like mournful wails, reminiscent of a woman's weeping.
Recalling how he had just engaged in a strategic game with Aeon here moments ago, Bochang couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.
Upon entering Rivet Town, Seele immediately became alert, scanning her surroundings for any potential threats.
In contrast, Bochang strolled casually, as if returning home.
Noticing his distracted state, Seele couldn't help but caution him, "Hey, stay alert! And... if you're looking for useful items here, I suggest finding a backpack first. You won't be able to carry much just with your hands."
"Um... my name isn't 'hey,' it's Bochang. What about yours?" Bochang spread his arms wide.
They had been walking together for over ten minutes without even exchanging names.
Seele stopped, turned back to look at Bochang, and said, "I'm Seele, from the Wildfire organization. Don't you recognize me? Wait... did you say your name is Bochang?"
"You know who I am." Bochang blinked, thinking it wasn't surprising given the circumstances.
After all, Bronya had visited this place yesterday. It was likely that Seele would already be aware of what transpired outside.
"One of the heroes who saved Belobog?" Seele frowned skeptically. "How can you claim that when you don't even look the part?"
Recalling Bochang's earlier remarks about being here for sightseeing and suggesting they team up to watch each other's backs, Seele found him increasingly peculiar. It seemed as if not a single word from his mouth could be trusted.
"How do you know I'm unlike the real Bochang if you've never met him before?" Bochang shrugged slightly.
Pointing her massive sickle forward, Seele declared, "You say you're Bochang? I doubt it. Prove yourself by defeating me in combat. Just so we're clear...I won't hold back. If you end up injured or worse, don't blame me later."
"Perfect... This is very much like Schwarz." Bochang sensed the dark essence emanating from her growing stronger. "Yet, there's still a hint of Weiss present, almost like...a fusion of two distinct personalities?"
"What... no response now?" Seele's gaze sharpened, as if ready to strike at any moment.
Unfazed, Bochang swiftly unleashed Bai Niao Chao Huang (Hundred Birds Saluting Phoenix), creating a dazzling flurry of spear movements within an instant.
Startled, Seele knew she couldn't withstand it head-on. Using her slender and elegant legs, she hastily retreated several meters before stopping, then looked back with astonishment at Bochang, who remained unmoved.
Despite Bochang showing no intention to pursue, Seele felt a prickling sense of unease, as if under intense pressure.
"Convinced now?" Bochang smiled amicably.
Still bent forward, with the large scythe resting on her back, Seele formed an exquisite curve that reminded Bochang inexplicably of the term "Bow-waisted Beauty."
Such flexibility truly evoked admiration for her suppleness.
She must be able to assume numerous poses effortlessly...
"You... are indeed impressive; I almost didn't react in time." Seele's expression turned serious. "Given your strength, why did you bother pretending to be an ordinary person and following me to Rivet Town?"
"What are your intentions?!"
With her stance lowered, Seele resembled a swift leopard, ready to pounce at any moment.
It seemed...
Seele still did not trust Bochang.
Her suspicion was understandable, considering his actions appeared quite peculiar from her perspective.
