"I heard the museum manager is a beauty..."
Every ti this visitor review popped up on the screen, Stelle couldn't help but grin.
After experiencing so much story content, this was the first ti soone had complinted her so directly!
The museum's managent phase had reached [Glory and Prosperity].
[Stelle, in your 60 days as part-ti manager, you've helped the Everwinter City Museum achieve a miraculous revival.]
[We appreciate your efforts and wish you endless adventures in your future journeys.]
Stelle stood up from her lounge chair and let out a long exhale—as if she'd just single-handedly restored an entire world.
She even felt a little reluctant to leave.
Walking to the museum's entrance, she decided:
"Let take one last look at everything I've accomplished."
Then, in the interview area, she spotted a couple with their young daughter.
"Sweetie, what do you think?" the mother asked.
The little girl thought for a mont, then suddenly jumped up excitedly.
"I wanna be the Galaxy Bat Warrior!"
Wow!
I have fans this young already?
Stelle's heart swelled with pride.
It felt like the entire planet of Belobog was grateful to her—like she was so kind of legendary hero!
Back when she'd left Belobog in a hurry, she hadn't gotten to soak in this kind of admiration.
Now, the ga was giving her the full experience.
And every artifact here was interactive!
After chatting with the family, she continued deeper inside.
In the innermost history exhibit, sothing familiar suddenly caught her eye.
Displayed beside the counter...
Was a black-and-gold-patterned baseball bat.
No way!
It was the exact sa bat she'd dug up back at Herta Space Station!
They'd recreated it 1:1 for the museum!
[This weapon is nad [Stelle's Baseball Bat]—identical to the one you wield.]
[Who knew your weapon would end up in a museum one day? Even if it's a replica, it's enough to intimidate the Fragntum monsters nearby.]
March 7th heard Stelle's shocked gasp and rushed over.
"Is this for real?!"
"They actually put your bat on display like so kind of sacred relic?!"
Stelle grabbed March's shoulders and shook her excitedly.
"HOW IS THIS REAL?! I'm literally dizzy right now—"
March laughed. "This is insane!"
"Do you realize what kind of honor this is?"
"A national-level historical museum is showcasing your weapon!"
"Belobog really sees you as their savior!"
Stelle chugged an entire bottle of Bubblegum Soda to calm down—but her cheeks were still flushed with pride.
"I've spent my whole life doing good deeds, helping others, and being a model citizen—"
March wiped the drool off her face. "Okay, okay, we get it."
Stelle pointed at the screen. "Belobog's playing 4D chess!"
"If any future Stellarons or Aeons try to destroy this planet, they'll have to answer to this bat first!"
"This planet? Under my protection."
March stared.
She'd never seen Stelle this hyped before.
She's completely fallen for this event.
But honestly?
Bronya and the others really knew how to make soone feel appreciated.
Belobog was worth the Astral Express' help.
Not content with just bragging, Stelle imdiately opened her contacts and ssaged Bronya:
[Bronya! Long ti no see! Well, not that long.]
[Any troublemakers causing problems in Belobog lately?]
[If there are, LET KNOW!]
[The Express Crew won't stand by! Belobog's my second ho!]
[My bat is ITCHING for action!]

Everwinter Palace
Bronya and the others were wrapping up the event when the ssage popped up.
Topaz blinked.
"Wait... is this the protagonist of Honkai: Star Rail—Stelle?"
"Is she... talking about ?"
Bronya burst out laughing.
"Miss Topaz, you're overthinking it!"
"She's just like this! Very... enthusiastic."
Topaz sipped her tea.
"No worries. I didn't realize the Astral Express was so close to you all."
"Seems like we'll have plenty of collaboration opportunities in the future."

The Xianzhou Luofu – Hotel
Welt had nearly finished Luocha's companion quest.
In the ga's story, the mont he spotted Luocha, he imdiately grew suspicious and began investigating his shady behavior.
March 7th, using deduction thods from The Adventures of Galactic Detective, even roleplayed as Luocha to reconstruct the scene.
In this segnt:
- March played the self-proclaid "This Young Miss" (Luocha).
- Welt played "Tea Party Gatekeeper" Zhi Yu—a not-so-civilized man who could turn into a cha in ergencies.
- A random NPC played the "Tea Party Boss" (who was actually just a scarecrow).
The absurd dialogue and ridiculous scenarios had even Welt cracking up.
"I expected Luocha's quest to be serious and mysterious..."
"But it's actually this lighthearted?"
By the end, the truth was revealed.
Detective March 7th delivered the final verdict:
"To protect others from that so-called 'Swindler Immortal,' he went this far—proving how much he loves Galactic Detective!"
"And soone who admires the great detective would never do evil!"
"We misjudged him!"
Welt nodded. "Judging soone by appearances is never wise... Anyway, let's go."
"Mr. Yang, where to?"
"Zhuming Banquet Hall. My treat."
"YAY!"
Outside the ga, Welt sighed in relief.
Looks like Luocha really isn't a threat.
He'd tested him repeatedly, and even the companion quest showed no red flags.
Maybe I was too paranoid.
But then—
A new ssage arrived from Jing Yuan of the Sky-Faring Commission:
[I've recovered so additional footage from the chanic birds—including a clip of Luocha.]
[It's stored at the Four-Sight Archive. Feel free to review it when you have ti.]
[Though... you might want to brace yourself.]
Welt's eyes narrowed.
Just when I thought it was over...
He imdiately teleported back to Cloudford and headed straight for the archives.
The footage showed Luocha standing on a platform, gazing at the Ambrosial Arbor.
He seed to be speaking to soone—his voice fragnted:
"Don't worry... I'll handle it."
[New prompt: Luocha has boarded the Astral Express as a guest. You may encounter him upon returning.]
Welt sighed deeply.
I was so close to believing he was innocent.
But this hidden scene changed everything.
Luocha definitely had ulterior motives.
Otherwise, why would Yu Ling include this?
"I can't let my guard down yet."
"Once the Stellaron crisis is over, I'm confronting him directly."
