Of course, in the end, Sylvia didn't actually kick Acheron straight back to where she ca from.
And Acheron wasn't so deranged as to drag Sylvia into another round of high-pressure combat training.
They did train, just not as intensely as last ti.
Later in the day, Sylvia received a ssage from Herta:
[Herta: That Stellaron kid seems free now, Sylvia. Co test the Simulated Universe too.]
[Sylvia: ? How'd you know the Express crew has free ti?]
[Herta: I asked, obviously. Stop yapping and just rember to co.]
With that, Herta went offline, not giving Sylvia a chance to reply.
Sylvia then tapped open the chat windows with March 7th and Stelle, sending them both a quick query.
She also ntioned to Stelle that they'd have ti tomorrow to test the Simulated Universe at Herta Space Station.
It wasn't until evening that Sylvia finally received ssages from everyone aboard the Astral Express.

[March 7th: [Image][Image]…[Image]]
[March 7th: Jarilo-VI, Trailblazing successful! That silver-haired lady in the pictures is Jarilo-VI's new Supre Guardian!]
[March 7th: Oh, and that lance in Stelle's hands is…]
[…]
[Sylvia: Sounds pretty fun. It would be nice to travel there soti.]
[March 7th: Ooh! You think so too, right? It might sound a little rude, but the snowy scenery here is amazing!]
[March 7th: [Image][Image][Image]]
[Sylvia: With all the thrilling stuff you described, you still found ti to take these?]
[March 7th: C'mon, you can't expect to skip photos! Between you and , I even snuck a picture of Cocolia.]
[Sylvia: Aha! Screenshot taken. March 7th slacking off during combat!]
[March 7th: Aiyaya!! You nace! Here I am kindly sharing, and you threaten !]

ssages from March 7th kept coming nonstop, chattering away about all sorts of experiences in Belobog.
Including the initial wanted order, Cocolia, Bronya, Seele, and so on…
While Sylvia already knew the general story, hearing it firsthand from soone who lived it was far more interesting.
Plus, there were plenty of details the ga had never ntioned.
Like that special cultivation zone within the snow-buried city, the sources of supplies in the Underworld, and so on…
Many things the ga didn't cover, but March 7th had witnessed and now shared as conversational fodder with Sylvia.
And March 7th's personality really was amusing—just a little teasing would elicit such adorable reactions.
No wonder players back in her past life often felt March 7th gave off serious girlfriend vibes.
Chatting with March 7th too much really did make you want to just hang out with her every day, sharing in simple, silly joy.
In comparison, Stelle seed much more sparing with her words.
Though that didn't necessarily an she was being serious.

[Stelle: Hehehe, my new weapon, cool, right? A perfect match for Beibei!]
[Sylvia: …Who's Beibei? Bella?]
[Stelle: Yep! We agreed, rember? No take-backs! My prayers must've moved an Aeon to grant this lance.]
[Stelle: [Pom-Pom heart emoji]]
[Sylvia: Alright, alright. See you at Herta Space Station tomorrow then.]
[Stelle: [Pom-Pom OK emoji]]

The next day.
Acheron woke up bright and early, as usual.
Although she could now sleep peacefully, her sleep duration still wasn't particularly long.
Once you reached a certain level, sleep beca more of an optional luxury than a necessity.
To Acheron's surprise, Sylvia was also up unusually early, even bringing back breakfast from The Reverie Hotel for her.
"Morning, i. Breakfast's here."
"…"
With a puzzled expression, Acheron walked over and sat down at the table. She picked up her utensils, eyeing the spread before her, and asked curiously,
"Do you have plans today? You're up so early."
"Actually, yes. Herta invited to test the Simulated Universe again. She's probably finished integrating the Propagation's data."
"No wonder."
Acheron understood.
"And that girl with the Stellaron inside her will be joining too."
"That girl nad Stelle? To directly contain a Stellaron within her body… that is rather remarkable."
Acheron gave Sylvia a thoughtful look. The person before her was also soone who could utilize a Stellaron directly.
Though, to be precise, Sylvia relied on an even more miraculous tool to stably draw power from the Stellaron.
According to Sylvia's description, that girl Stelle rely contained it and couldn't harness its power stably.
So Sylvia's thod was clearly more refined.
"Hmm…"
Sylvia looked at Acheron, confused.
What was with this woman staring at her, nodding and smiling like that?
Sure, i's smile was beautiful, but such a mysterious, inexplicable grin was downright creepy.
Perhaps sensing Sylvia's bewildernt, Acheron, while eating her breakfast, asked innocently,
"Is sothing wrong?"
"…I should be asking you that. What were you smiling at for just now?"
But to Sylvia's surprise, instead of explaining, Acheron tilted her head slightly in confusion, her gaze filled with genuine puzzlent.
"Just now? Was I smiling?"
"…"
Watching Acheron's tilted head, Sylvia was montarily speechless. How old was she, acting cute like that?
Sylvia figured Acheron probably didn't an anything by it, but the result was still this woman putting on an adorable act!
"You were. And you were staring right at while doing it. Don't tell you were thinking sothing indecent again?"
"I was just thinking… you're more impressive, Sylvia."
Acheron gave Sylvia a helpless look. This person's mind really did wander to the strangest places.
"Which aspect of 'impressive' are you talking about?"
"The Stellaron. You handle it better than Stelle, don't you?"
"…Oh, that."
Sylvia pouted. She'd thought Acheron ant sothing else entirely.
Tch—
Acheron smiled as she looked at Sylvia. She had a feeling this person's mind was off on another tangent.
But Acheron wisely chose not to comnt, simply lowering her head to quietly finish her al.
-- --
Soon, the exquisite breakfast was finished by both of them.
Naturally, Acheron set off early for her duties.
As for Sylvia, she teleported straight to Herta Space Station.
Once there, she decided to greet Asta first, then swing by the Security Departnt to check on her hardworking 'employee number one,' aka her mount.
After making the rounds, she happened to run into Stelle, who had just returned to the station.
"Sylvia! I've missed you—r precious dragon so much!"
The mont Stelle saw Sylvia, her eyes lit up and she pounced.
Only to be caught by the collar of her shirt, halted in mid-air by Sylvia's grip.
"I knew you only had your eyes on my dragon!"
"Hehe, as if! I missed you too, of course."
Stelle shalessly rubbed her hands together, grinning foolishly at Sylvia. Sylvia was utterly speechless at the display. Where did she learn such thick skin?
"…Don't know who she learned it from. Let's go find Herta first."
