47 Chapter 47: Welt's Vision Darkens

Stagnant orbit of the Jarilo-VI Extraterrestrial.

Stellar Train.

Welt stood by the window, attentively gazing at the frozen white planet outside.

At this moment, his phone in his pocket vibrated. Welt picked up the phone, the back of which had Welt's Arahato Phone design. He saw a message from March 7th and, curious yet somewhat worried, clicked on it.

Could it be that something unexpected happened during the adventure?

Welt tapped the screen with his finger, and then... nothing happened.

He stared at March 7th's message for a long time, then suddenly brought his face close to the screen, swiftly moved away, and his face quickly contorted, adopting the appearance of an "elderly subway man's phone." He quickly turned off the phone.

Is it that I didn't open it the right way?

No, let's take another look.

So, Welt took a few deep breaths, gathered his courage, and opened the phone again.

Open, quickly close.

Open, quickly close.

There is an ancient saying: "A spirited start, followed by decline, thirdly, exhaustion." Welt, looking at the darkened screen, lacked the courage to open it again.

Maybe the memory of my own death have suddenly started to haunt me, causing me to have hallucinations...

So, he called for Himeko, asking to check this message for him.

"Welt, what's wrong?" Himeko walked over slowly, still with unfinished coffee in her cup, and asked.

"Himeko, can you check this message that March sent me?" Welt opened the phone and quickly handed it to Himeko, as if there were some ominous thing inside the phone, just like Otto's.

"Uh, who is this cute girl in the photo with March?" Himeko marveled.

Welt's vision darkened, and with a trembling voice, he asked, "What does she look like?"

"Gray long hair, blue pupils, wearing..." Himeko was describing when she suddenly realized that Welt had slumped onto the sofa, looking surprised. "Welt, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing... I need a moment to recover." Welt sat up from the sofa, waved his hand, indicating that he was okay.

In his mind, there was only one thought:

Damn it, the Honkai is still after me!

Welt was already certain, or rather, had accepted the reality.

The girl in the photo with March 7th was none other than a member of the Second Herrscher:

The Judgment-class Honkai Beast—Benares!

I didn't expect, I didn't expect, such a little Jarilo-VI would have hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

I've run so far, and the Honkai is still chasing me! I've already handed over the Core of the Herrscher to the successor. Why is the Honkai still pursuing me?

Wasn't the Honkai supposed to be a disaster unique to the solar system?

Kevin, are you trying to deceive me?

Welt sat dazed on the sofa, his mind in chaos. Himeko quietly sat beside him, sipping coffee, elegant and unruffled.

After a while, Welt finally spoke:

"Himeko, I think I should go there and take a look."

"Is there something wrong with that photo?" Himeko asked.

"The girl in the photo is someone I used to consider my enemy, from my hometown." Welt explained.

"I understand. Do you need my help?" Himeko nodded, silently putting down her cup, her tone serious.

"Not for now. If we both leave, Pom-pom would be lonely. Someone has to stay with Pom-pom," Welt said. "Don't worry, Himeko. If I encounter difficulties, I'll seek your help."

"Well, that's settled then," Himeko nodded in agreement. "Safe travels."

Welt picked up his cane, silently left the train, his scarf fluttering in the air as if telling the epic tales of his adventurous experiences on that icy plain...

Himeko watched Welt leave, walked to the window, and gazed at the white planet in front of her.

Hope they'll be safe.

.................

On the other side, after March 7th and Bella took a photo together, March happily sent the picture to Uncle Yang.

When she saw that her message to Welt was marked as read but received no reply, she eagerly stared at the screen, waiting for Welt's response.

However, after waiting for a long time, she still didn't get one. She sighed disappointedly, looking somewhat dejected and lacking enthusiasm.

"March, what happened?" Dan Heng keenly noticed the change in March 7th's mood and asked.

"Uncle Yang saw my message and didn't reply." March 7th's tone was melancholic.

"What did you send to Mr. Welt?" Stella also curiously approached and asked.

March 7th looked puzzled. "I just sent Uncle Yang the photos of me and Bella. Uncle Yang didn't reply."

"Oh..." Stella nodded after hearing that, holding her chin and indulging in deep thought.

When she sent those strange flower pictures to Mr. Welt, his response was very fast.

This time, he unexpectedly didn't reply to March's message. Strange.

Chase, on the side, naturally overheard their conversation. Of course, it didn't count as eavesdropping since the Train Trio didn't show any intention to conceal their discussion.

He paused for a moment, suddenly showing a serious expression.

"Brother?" Bella walked over, asking with concern.

As Queen's loyal attendant, Bella naturally paid close attention to her brother's situation. This was a very normal thing, right?

Presumably, Queen would know about it and be very happy, right? (Laughs)

"Bella, do you remember Mr. Welt?" Chase approached Bella and spoke in a hushed tone.

"Bella remembers," Bella nodded.

"March 7th just sent photos of you and her to Mr. Welt," Chase whispered, "Do you think it's possible that this Mr. Welt knows you?"

Bella felt like she had been struck by lightning, and the blue eyes of her age revealed a hint of innocence.

"So, what should we do?" Bella, imitating Chase, covered her mouth with her hand and leaned over to whisper in Chase's ear.

"I don't have a solution either. When the time comes, you'll assess the situation. If the other party comes to you with an unfriendly attitude, just apologize and leave. If that doesn't work, just run," Chase felt his ears itching a bit but didn't mind, continuing to discuss with the girl, "Let's go with this plan for now, everyone's watching."

"Okay, okay," Bella obediently nodded, feeling a bit regretful as she withdrew from this warmth. Her earlobes turned slightly red, and Chase thought she was feeling stuffy.

As for the rest, Chase just couldn't believe that a Honkai Beast born not long ago would understand so much.

"Hahaha, you two siblings really get along well," March 7th noticed Chase looking at her, scratching his head in embarrassment.

Bella found this girl named March 7th quite knowledgeable, raised her small face with a slight smile, feeling a bit excited.
