Honkai Impact: Star Railway: I'm really not a Star God!

Xing is the first person to have a stellar core in her body and yet live a vibrant life; the experience from other cases cannot be applied to her.

Chapter 23 The Coffee Biting Incident

After talking with Walter and Himeko, Hoshi recalled what she had just said to her.

"Indeed...it's a good opportunity to check out our future living environment and visit some neighbors."

"Indeed, I think so too."

"!? Don't appear so suddenly!"

A voice suddenly appeared beside Xing's ear, and the heat from the words made Xing tremble.

My ears are very sensitive!

He raised his hands to either side of his head and laughed heartily in mid-air.

"Don't panic, don't panic. As the saying goes, harmony brings wealth."

Xing sighed and rubbed her forehead.

Why is Ling Kong such a funny person?

Pointing to the bus door not far away, Ling Kong said to Xing.

“Xing, that’s the residential area. You can go and take a stroll. I just went to Danheng’s room. It’s very much in line with the ascetic’s style. But it’s March 7th… men and women shouldn’t touch each other. Oh, right, I’ll be looking for you on March 7th.”

"Looking for me on March 7th?"

Xing hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ling Kong with a suspicious gaze.

Just now...! I sensed a hint of malice.

"Really? You'll see when you go. Go quickly!"

Let's assume we'll believe it once; Xing dashed off to another carriage in a flash.

Pam, pretending to clean while secretly observing Hoshino, saw Hoshino running quickly towards her.

It was overjoyed.

Good! You have the awareness of a passenger! You know that if there's a problem, you should find the train conductor!

It straightened its collar, adjusted its hat, put its hands on its hips, and proudly looked at the star running towards it.

"Stars, there are..."

As the wind swept by, Pam spun 1080° on the spot, and her two long, drooping ears were twisted into a knot after spinning three times.

He watched as Xing hurriedly ran past him toward the bus carriage.

Pam felt a tremor in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Wait for me!!!

Xing was about to open the door when she was stopped. Looking at the cute train conductor Pam, Xing asked curiously.

"What's wrong, conductor?"

"Cough cough cough...don't you want to...ask something?"

"What can I ask you?"

"It's normal to be unfamiliar with the train when you first arrive. I can help you with any questions you may have."

"It seems...there's nothing wrong?"

Xing thought about it for a while and realized that she didn't seem to have any problems.

"No...? Could you at least ask a little bit?!"

A cute lop-eared rabbit is looking at me with pleading eyes—who could resist that?

Singer-up, suppressing the urge to stroke Pam's ear, coughed lightly.

"It seems there really is a problem..."

Upon hearing this, Pam felt as if she had heard heavenly music.

Its drooping ears were slightly raised, and its little tail wiggled slightly.

"Ahem, is there really a problem? I was just being polite..."

Pam said proudly.

Upon hearing this, Xing turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey hey hey!!! Don't go, don't go! What's wrong?"

How do I get to the room on March 7th?

Remembering what Ling Kong had just told her, Xing casually asked a question.

"Huh? Why are you so concerned about her room?"

Why don't you care about your train conductor at all? Am I not as cute as her?!

"Ah, I heard from Himeko that you were the one who saved the March 7 passengers before?"

With that thought in mind, Pam looked at Xing with an approving gaze.

Not bad! You saved Little March, a great achievement!

"Hmm... commendable courage, but a bit too reckless. But that's certainly what a pioneer should be like. March 7's room is in the bus, but she always likes to wander around, so it might not be there."

Although Xing found this statement strange, she still nodded.

Aren't all the trains running? Where else can you go on March 7th besides being on a train?

"Thank you, conductor. That's all for today."

"Hmm? Okay..."

Seeing Pam's slightly disappointed expression, Xing smiled and reached out to pat Pam's head.

Pam shuddered, a blush creeping onto her fair face.

"Star Passengers...! Please be careful on the train! Be aware of bumps and jolts during the journey!"

......

"So... what's going on here?"

Sitting on the sofa in the observation car, Ling Kong placed his hands on the table, which covered half of his face, revealing only a pair of purple eyes.

"Don't be nervous. Hello, my name is Walter Yang, and I am also a passenger on the Star Train."

"I usually call him Walter."

Himeko smiled slightly, easing the atmosphere.

"Hello, you can just call me Lingkong."

Ling Kong politely shook hands with Walter Young's outstretched hand.

Then, Ling Kong frowned slightly.

Why is Walter Young's grip still getting stronger?

However, he didn't show it; he used the same amount of force as Walter.

At a certain point, Walter released his grip, and Lingzhong immediately followed suit.

Walter glanced at Ling Kong unexpectedly, then stretched out his hand again.

This time, he smiled slightly.

"Please forgive my rudeness just now. For the safety of the train, we sometimes have to design some tests."

"It's okay, this is normal."

Fortunately, no conflict arose between the two, and Himeko breathed a sigh of relief.

As she slowly rose to her feet, Himeko's every move exemplified elegance.

She turned her head slightly and asked curiously.

"You two can chat for a while. I'll go make you some coffee. Would you like some?"

Walter's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing the word "coffee."

Whether it was an illusion of being in mid-air or not, he felt as if Walter's glasses had turned on a reflective mode, and he couldn't even see his eyes.

"I'm not very sleepy right now, I'm quite energetic, so I don't need it, thank you Himeko."

"Oh, I see... And you, Lingkong, would you like a cup of coffee?"

Himeko raised the white cup and swirled it slightly.

He glanced at Walter with a puzzled look, then smiled faintly at Himeko from mid-air.

"Three parts sugar, please."

Such a beautiful woman offered to make you coffee, and you actually refused.

Walter Young, you really don't know what's good for you.

Can you learn from me and accept it gladly?

That's how you build good relationships; you can't just put on a cold, sour face.

While Himeko went to make coffee, Ling Kong slowly sat down next to Walter. He nudged Walter with his elbow as if they were old friends and asked curiously.

“Walter, I can tell you’re definitely interested in Himeko. Even your eyes look different.”

"No...no...it's just a little bit of a connection."

"Oh? Really? Okay then. By the way, why aren't you drinking coffee? Don't you know it's best not to refuse an invitation from a beautiful woman?"

Upon hearing this question, Walter did not answer but remained silent.

Feeling bored, Ling Kong shrugged and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

A moment later, Himeko came over with a steaming cup of coffee, smiled slightly, and placed the coffee on the table in front of Ling Kong.

"Aren't you going to drink?"
