Chapter 615: The Fated eting of To the Dim Stars!
"Soone chasing ti? What does that an?" the others looked at Ren in confusion.
Rocky smiled bitterly. "It’s nothing profound. I’m just an ordinary staff mber at the Herta Space Station. I once wrote a letter to a staff mber I liked, Lesley, to confess."
"And it was successful?!" Sushang’s eyes were full of curiosity.
He gently shook his head. "No. I didn’t get a response. With the help of a Naless, I learned the truth." He looked up at the starlit sky. "Lesley is from beyond the stars. On a certain planet, she encountered a Starquake. The flow of ti there is slow relative to the outside, which is why I haven’t received a response."
Ren understood. It seed Stelle had told him the truth.
"Wow, are you going to find her?" Guinaifen asked.
"Yes. I don’t want to wait. I want to go find her. To chase ti!" his voice was firm.
Sushang said, "How amazing." Such sincere emotions moved everyone.
"But you’ve crashed here. You might never catch up," Ren crossed his arms. "As you can see, we don’t have a spaceship. We’re just natives of this planet."
"Huh?" The won looked at him in confusion.
Rocky’s mind was still in a ss. He didn’t doubt it and lowered his head in disappointnt.
"You’re not giving up?" Ren asked.
"No." Rocky turned and entered the damaged craft. His answer was unwavering. "I said I would go find her, and I must get her reply."
Upon receiving this reply, Ren’s mouth curved. As expected of "To the Faint Star." He certainly didn’t mind giving them a hand. "Let’s go," he said.
Sushang’s mouth was agape. "Ah? Aren’t we helping him?"
Tingyun’s beautiful eyes curved. "Sushang, my husband isn’t so heartless. Since he brought us here, he’ll definitely help."
"Hmm, although this scoundrel loves to bully people..." Fu Xuan complained, but t Ren’s smiling gaze directed behind her. "!!!" She imdiately guarded her backside and changed the subject. "Ahem, there must be a deeper aning."
"Heh heh, no need for flattery. I’m just acting on a whim."
At this mont, in the distant Starquake Zone, a chestnut-haired girl was trying to escape. She wanted to reply to Rocky. When a flash of white light passed, her figure disappeared.
"Rocky?" Rocky’s hand, searching, paused. "Lesley?" He seed to have heard her voice. An auditory hallucination?
"Rocky, is that you?" The voice sounded again. He spun around. "Lesley!!!"
She was standing right before his eyes. "Rocky... How am I here?" She was confused. Her mory was still of struggling, and in a blink, she appeared here.
He quickly scrambled out and rushed to her, hugging her. "!!!" Lesley was startled.
"Lesley, is it really you?" Feeling his excited emotions, a smile appeared on her lips. She gently replied, "Yes, it’s . This doesn’t seem to be the Starquake Zone."
He took a step back, gripping her hand tightly. "I was going to find you, but I crashed."
"Find ?" her heart stirred.
"Yes... I wanted to know your reply," he said seriously.
Lesley stared blankly. Under his nervous gaze, she took a step forward and kissed his cheek. "!!!" Rocky stood rooted to the spot.
Her slightly flushed face blood with a brilliant smile. "This is my answer. I was trying to leave to answer you, but it seems I don’t need to now."
"Lesley..." his heart pounded rapidly. She was also chasing .
Suddenly, she seed to see sothing strange. "Rocky, look!"
He looked back. "Hmm??" He widened his eyes. His damaged aircraft was visibly and automatically recovering. In a blink, a nearly brand-new aircraft stood before them.
"What’s going on?" Even the knowledgeable Lesley had never seen such a scene.
"..." Rocky suddenly rembered sothing. He looked around. Ren and the girls were gone. He couldn’t help but recall the questions Ren had asked. Her return, the repair... everything beca clear.
He whispered a grateful "Thank you" into the wind.
"What are you talking about?" Lesley asked.
He snapped back to reality and smiled happily. "Nothing, Lesley. I found you. Let’s go ho." Saying that, he grabbed her hand and walked towards the aircraft.
Two previously dim stars had t here.
[Author-san Note: ’To the Dim Star’ is my favorite side story in Astral Express. I really wanted to give these two ordinary people an ending. Emphasis: These two are both background characters, and the female character is even a background character among background characters, with no face! She has nothing to do with any other female characters! There is absolutely no attempt to create a ship. It’s not an exaggeration to say this Chapter is a bit of a personal indulgence. My apologies, everyone! This Chapter was indeed a bit of a filler, I grovel! It won’t happen again later!]
