Himeko didn't press further, understanding that everyone has their own secrets, which is perfectly normal.
Even Dan Heng had a past connected to the Enigmata...
She never pursued it either.
Thus... she didn't give it much thought.
Everyone quietly awaited the arrival of the Astral Express at the Railway Platform.
Stelle approached Bochang and gently touched his Vow Spear with her hand.
The blue spear's shaft was stained with the blood of the Doomsday Beast. During the battle, it played a crucial role—creating opportunities for the group and even disabling one of the beast's arms.
It proved far more effective than Stelle's black baseball bat, making others envious just by observing its prowess.
"Would you like to use it? Feel free, but you won't be able to harness its special abilities," Bochang generously offered, releasing his grip on the spear without hesitation.
Generously, Bochang released his grip, showing no hesitation in letting Stelle have it.
The Vow Spear had already been claimed by the black-haired youth through blood oath, making its unique abilities of guaranteed hits and returning flight inaccessible to others.
However...
Even without those special capabilities, the weapon's indestructibility alone was enough to make anyone envious.
"No... you should keep using it. I'm not accustomed to handling such weapons," Stelle declined, pushing the spear back towards Bochang. "I just wanted to take a closer look at it, nothing else."
Witnessing this exchange, Dan Heng couldn't resist stepping forward.
"This spear is truly remarkable. Withstanding the Doomsday Beast's attack unscathed and even penetrating it... Bochang, have you considered learning spear techniques? If you're interested, I could teach you." As a skilled spear wielder, Dan Heng had a keen intuition for assessing the quality of spears. The moment he laid eyes on the Vow Spear, he recognized its extraordinary nature.
Later during the battle against the Doomsday Beast, Dan Heng observed that Bochang's performance indeed reflected this potential. However, it was unfortunate that Bochang had no proficiency with spears; he relied solely on ranged attacks from afar and even resorted to throwing the Vow Spear...
To Dan Heng, such behavior seemed quite peculiar—almost like squandering a valuable treasure.
A spear isn't meant to be used like that!
"If Dan Heng is willing to teach, of course I'd be happy to learn," Bochang readily agreed without any hesitation.
From the side, March 7th teased, "What's this? Is Dan Heng going to take Bochang as his apprentice?"
"No... It's just sharing skills between friends, after all... I don't want to see such a fine spear go unused." Dan Heng gently shook his head, his words seemingly resonating with the Vow Spear itself, causing its shaft to tremble slightly. This surprised Bochang, as this aspect was never mentioned in "Dating Options".
Agreeing with Bochang, the pink-haired girl added, "Exactly, don't make wild assumptions."
Faced with this double rebuttal, the pink-haired girl fell silent.
On the sidelines, Himeko tilted her head, observing the four young individuals with a smile at the corner of her lips, without saying a word.
Now that the Doomsday Beast has been defeated, the immediate crisis to the space station was temporarily resolved.
More importantly...
Herta had just replied, stating she would arrive at the space station shortly, ensuring their safety to some extent.
There was no longer any rush for them to flee.
Welt Yang, controlling the Astral Express, finally arrived late.
Before Bochang's eyes appeared the brown-haired man leaning on his red cane for the first time.
The black-haired youth also knew that the red cane held by Welt Yang was actually the Ninth Divine Key—the Garden of Eden, possessing the ability to manipulate gravity.
Welt Yang's true identity is the second Herrscher of Reason from the Honkai Universe trilogy.
"Come to think of it... if I had been playing 'Honkai 3' all night instead, could I have transmigrated into Honkai Impact 3rd?"
The instant Bochang laid eyes on him, this peculiar thought crossed his mind.
Welt Yang's gaze swept over everyone before saying, "Apologies for being late."
"Uncle Yang, if you had arrived earlier, you could've witnessed our impressive defeat of the Doomsday Beast." March 7th placed her hands on her hips and continued, "You missed it, but that monster was incredibly fierce just now."
As she spoke... March 7th scratched the back of her head, blushing slightly with embarrassment as she looked at Bochang. She admitted, "Right... I got so caught up discussing those two pieces of equipment that I forgot to thank you, Bochang. Your kindness won't be forgotten; someday, I'll repay your favor."
"Hmm... It's not a big deal, don't worry about it too much. After all, you've helped me before..."
Together, March 7th led Bochang and Stelle back to the Master Control Zone.
Of course, it did count as him helping her.
Unaware of what had transpired, Welt Yang didn't feel inclined to interject.
After their conversation concluded,
the brown-haired man with red-framed glasses spoke up, "Himeko, what's our next move?"
"The Doomsday Beast has been defeated, and we've received word from Herta. It would be best for us to return to the Master Control Zone," decided the redheaded big sister.
No one else had any objections.
Thus, they all returned to where they had come from.
The subsequent events largely did not involve Bochang, Stelle, Dan Heng, or March 7th.
However, Dan Heng and March 7th remained nearby the train to keep watch.
Meanwhile, Himeko and Welt Yang rushed around, addressing crises throughout the space station.
At this point, the Antimatter Legion's offensive also came to a temporary halt.
While Bochang and Stelle had nothing to do,
March 7th hurried over with two cell phones, handed them out, and exchanged beacons—equivalent to phone numbers.
"You should go find Himeko now; she's looking for you. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
Watching the pink-haired girl depart,
if Bochang's guess was correct, Herta would soon arrive.
The middle-aged lady seemed quite interested in them.
Of course...
this interest would only last briefly before fading away completely, something not lost on Bochang as a transmigrator.
Stelle said, "Let's go. We shouldn't keep Himeko waiting too long."
"Um... okay," Bochang nodded.
Leaving the rest area within the Master Control Zone, they set off immediately. Not far away, they spotted Himeko and Herta... standing together engaged in conversation, resembling a mother with her child.
It was evident that Herta was indeed the child.
However, this child appeared distinctly different from ordinary ones.
Through the shoulder part of her strapless dress, both Bochang and Stelle could clearly see...distinct joint connections on the brunette loli's body. She resembled a doll, a living doll.
Herta's face showed little emotion, with a gaze that felt cold and detached, reminiscent of the recent encounter with Silver Wolf to Bochang.
As Bochang and Stelle approached,
they caught the attention of Himeko and Herta, who turned to face them.
The redheaded big sister spoke first, "Bochang, Stelle, welcome! Let me introduce you - this is the true owner of the space station, Herta, the eighty-third member of the Genius Society."
