Chapter 319 319: Is Himeko Getting Into Gossip Too?
"If someone like him had inherited the Authority of the Herrscher of Reason back then… things probably wouldn't have been nearly as troublesome."Listening to the interstellar news broadcasts—and to Stelle and March 7th chatting—
Welt felt like his brain wasn't quite keeping up.
He had once been the Herrscher of Reason himself, and had learned countless things.
But someone like Su Ran?
He had never seen anything this outrageous.
If someone like that existed in his world, then before Finality even arrived, the Honkai disaster might've already been resolved.
Just like how Herta had saved the Blue Star multiple times on her own—
If Su Ran had been in the Previous Era, there might not even be a Current Era.
Even Welt found Su Ran's power absurd.
He had already grown accustomed to life in this universe.
And yet—
This man kept appearing, again and again, shattering his understanding of reality.
He had even drawn the attention of the Aeon of Remembrance.
Welt didn't know much about that Aeon.
But one thing was common knowledge—
Whenever a major event occurred, Their gaze would often follow.
Just like when the IPC was founded.
Still—
Speculation was just speculation.
That strange feeling remained—
As if someone like Su Ran should have existed in his past.
Yet his memory contained no trace of him.
No inconsistencies, no gaps.
Everything was complete.
So in the end, Welt decided not to dwell on it.
"But regardless, his talent benefits the masses, doesn't it? With the stargates, the Astral Express can save quite a bit on costs."
Himeko was more optimistic about the stargates.
Warping the train consumed a lot of energy.
Now, that cost could be reduced significantly.
"So where are we going next?"
Having lost all her memories, Stelle was excited for her first real Trailblazing journey.
"To Washworld. We'll clean the train there, and then head straight to Penacony for the Family's Charmony Festival."
The Express had received the invitation long ago.
Their stop at Herta Space Station had only been for resupply.
"Himeko, when are we leaving?"
After spending days on edge at the space station, March 7th was eager to move on.
"If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow."
With the station's crisis resolved—and now becoming a focal point of attention—
Himeko didn't want to stay any longer.
The less they got involved in external conflicts, the better.
Especially since that newly famous genius—was now known across the entire universe.
Interstellar broadcasts spread fast.
"Whenever someone says that, it usually means trouble is about to show up."
For some reason, Stelle suddenly said this.
Maybe it was just intuition.
"Even if trouble comes, it won't be a big deal. We've got an Emanator here—and that Emanator even has another Emanator under his control."
Herta herself wasn't present—
But Su Ran, an Emanator of Erudition, was no ordinary figure.
And he even controlled a Propagation Emanator.
How much trouble could really happen?
If anything, it would be better if trouble didn't come looking for them.
—
Before the Express departed—
"After I leave, don't forget our alliance!"
On the platform, March 7th looked at Asta with utmost seriousness.
"I won't!"
Asta responded just as earnestly.
This made Himeko curious.
She turned to Stelle. "When did March and Asta get so close?"
As far as she remembered, they hadn't interacted much before.
Barely even talked.
So how did they suddenly become such close friends?
"Probably after that big bug defeated the Doomsday Beast."
From Stelle's perspective, that was when things changed.
"A bond forged in battle? Then why didn't you join them?"
Himeko could understand that.
But if March and Asta had gotten close—
Why hadn't Stelle?
"Probably because I'm not as into gossip as they are."
Stelle was curious about Herta and Su Ran's rumors—
But trash cans were more tempting.
And she had to keep running Simulated Universe tests.
No time for gossip.
Every time she returned to the Express, she was exhausted.
Chatting wasn't even on her mind.
"…What does gossip have to do with it?"
Himeko was confused.
"Because they're both shipping a CP. Asta's already deep into it, and March is rapidly heading into late-stage obsession."
Himeko: …
So that's what it was.
That actually made sense.
Shared interests did bring people closer.
And since Asta and March were about the same age—
They naturally had more to talk about.
"…So who are they shipping?"
What kind of pairing could make those two become this close?
"Su Ran and Herta."
"…Ah."
Himeko suddenly understood.
If it was those two—
It did feel somewhat reasonable.
Even from her perspective, their relationship was unusual.
There was a certain chemistry there.
And they were both members of the Genius Society.
A perfect match, on paper.
"That does make sense. They're both geniuses—there might not be many better matches for either of them."
Himeko nodded slightly.
It wasn't unreasonable.
"But didn't Herta reverse her age? Wouldn't that make her, like… a hundred years older than Su Ran?"
A hundred-year age gap—
No matter how you looked at it, it felt a bit off.
Even Stelle thought so.
"…Uh…"
Himeko froze for a second.
Wait.
Something's not right…
Why am I analyzing this so seriously?
…Am I starting to gossip too?!
