The Gamer who traveled to Honkai: Star Rail

As Fu Xuan left, March 7th looked around. In the empty Qlipoth Fort, Pei Guang was swinging a trash bag, repeatedly whacking the fallen Cocolia's head.

Meanwhile, by the bookshelves, Seele was seriously reading, while Bronya sat in front of a trash bin, carefully savoring the "aroma" coming from it.

Seeing this scene, Fu Xuan couldn't help but remark, "Do the people of Belobog have some kind of special obsession with trash?"

Even though this was March 7th's memory, and memories could be distorted from reality, they still followed some kind of internal logic. At the very least, in March 7th's mind, this girl seemed particularly fond of garbage.

March 7th scratched her head and laughed awkwardly. "Her name is Bronya. Back then, after seeing Ah Guang and Stelle find treasures in trash cans, she wanted to try her luck too—to see if she could find something that could save Belobog. But in the end, she never pulled anything good, it was tragic. Besides, Miss Master Diviner, don't you really like the trash bin Ah Guang gave you?"

The moment Bronya was mentioned, March 7th's face lit up with a cheerful smile. Looking back on her experience in Belobog, that adventure had been incredibly fun.

Hearing this, Fu Xuan was immediately at a loss for words. "I don't like it, it's just… it's just…"

March 7th smirked mischievously. "Just what?"

Fu Xuan huffed, "Hmph! It doesn't matter. Hurry up and find the anomaly here."

March 7th laughed happily at Fu Xuan's reaction, but her joy quickly faded—because she couldn't tell which of these people didn't belong in her memory. After all, she had seen all of them in Belobog before.

She sighed, "This is so hard to figure out! Oh, I know! Ah Guang~~~~"

The moment she called out, the memory version of Pei Guang, who had been busy whacking Cocolia's head with a trash bag, suddenly turned to look at her.

"March~ do you have a mission for me?"

Hearing Pei Guang's response, even Fu Xuan couldn't help but comment, "As expected of him. No matter the memory, all he thinks about is missions."

March 7th giggled. "Ah Guang is just like that. Hmm~ How do I put it? I think sometimes he's actually kind of lost, too. He just relies on missions to push himself forward, to give himself some kind of structure, doing what he believes is right. But I'm telling you, despite all his craziness, he's actually super simple deep down."

Fu Xuan sighed, "I know, alright, alright, stop showing off. Focus on your task."

At this moment, the memory Pei Guang had already walked up to March 7th.

"March, do you have a mission for me?"

Feeling his presence, March 7th said, "Ah Guang! I'm searching for my lost memories, but there's some kind of distortion in the process. I don't know who isn't supposed to be here in my memory. Can you help me? Hmm… As a mission reward, I'll give you a massive amount of affection!"

Hearing March 7th's words, the memory Pei Guang blinked his dazed-looking eyes and responded,

"Mission accepted: eliminating all anomalies in March 7th's memory."

As soon as Pei Guang said those words, March 7th noticed that he suddenly pulled out a Star Destroyer authorization-key. The moment it appeared, both she and Fu Xuan heard a chilling voice coming from it.

"Induction beacon active, airspace cleared, warp permitted. Wishing you victory in battle."

"Who is summoning the fleet?"

"Our fleet blots out the sky, no matter how many suns shine above."

"Hostile target detected. Miss March 7th, support from the commander will arrive in three seconds."

"3"

"2"

"1"

A dazzling light descended from above, engulfing everyone in the room except for March 7th. In an instant, all the figures—including the memory Pei Guang—vanished.

For some reason, even though this wasn't the real Pei Guang, watching him disappear made her heart ache.

Doubt crept into her mind—should she really be searching for her past? But the moment this thought surfaced, she thought of Pei Guang. He supported her so much—if she gave up now, wouldn't she be betraying his expectations?

Maybe, once she regained her past, her old memories wouldn't acknowledge her current feelings. 

But she refused to accept that.

The one standing beside Pei Guang had to be her true self—past, present, and future, a complete version of herself. Even if, after retrieving her memories, she was no longer "March 7th," she wasn't afraid—because she believed...

"Ah Guang will definitely find me again!"

March 7th spoke with unwavering determination, and the moment she did, Fu Xuan reappeared beside her, letting out an exasperated sigh.

"Enough already, you should say that kind of thing to his face instead of blurting it out here. Looks like Pei Guang takes up a heavy weight in your mind... But what's even weirder is—why is his memory self able to act independently of your memory distortions? This kind of thing makes no sense at all..."

Fu Xuan had no words left for this. Anything involving Pei Guang always turned bizarre.

Like now—his real body was outside, yet his memory self still showed up in here. Not only that, but he did things that even his real self had never done before! That's terrifying!

As Fu Xuan silently processed this, March 7th suddenly made a new discovery—right where the memory Pei Guang had been standing, a monitor appeared.

On its screen, a single message was displayed:

"Remember the mission reward!!!!!!"

Seeing the five huge exclamation marks, March 7th couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Haha! As expected of Ah Guang! Even his memory self can't forget about his mission rewards! Fine, fine, I'll give you a huge boost in affection!"

As she joked, outside in the real world, Pei Guang—who had been quietly waiting—suddenly received another notification in his system.

"March 7th has given you a massive affection boost."

Pei Guang: "???"

He was completely confused. 

He was just sitting here, doing nothing, and suddenly, March 7th started spamming affection points?!

"What the hell, I didn't even do anything! What's happening over there?!"

Hearing his grumbling, Stelle—who had been nearby—spoke up casually.

"Did March just give you more affection? If you're so worried, why not go in and check it out?"

Pei Guang shook his head. "No rush. I'll wait until March comes out and ask her directly. Besides, these are her memories. Everyone has secrets they don't want others to see, even people they trust. If I barge in and see something she didn't want me to, even if she doesn't say anything, she'd still feel uncomfortable."

Stelle folded her arms and huffed, "So you're willing to spoil March but not me?"

Pei Guang raised an eyebrow. "You say that like I don't spoil you already, go reflect on your conscience, please"

Stelle smacked her chest proudly. "Haha~ I don't have a conscience!"

While the two of them were joking around outside, March 7th had already progressed deeper into her memories.

This time, she found herself inside Herta Space Station. Seeing the familiar surroundings, she suddenly remembered something.

"Oh! I remember now! This is from before we met Ah Guang and Stelle!"

A grin spread across her face.

"Hehe~ Let's see what Ah Guang was like back then! I was so startled when I first met him that I was on guard around him for a long time… I never got the chance to properly observe how he acted in the beginning. What a waste! Hehe~ Fu Xuan, you'll get to see how hilarious Ah Guang was back then! Wait… Fu Xuan? Master Diviner? Ah Fu!!!"

March 7th called out, but this time—there was no response.

At the same time, outside the memory space, Fu Xuan's face twisted into an expression of pure frustration.

Something had interfered with the Matrix of Prescience Ultima. A powerful force—far beyond expectations.

And March 7th's consciousness was still trapped inside. Even Belobog's resilience and dignity meant nothing at this moment—because no one knew what was happening inside.

"Damn it! I've got it!"

Fu Xuan immediately turned toward Pei Guang and shouted—

"Ah Guang, get over here! Something's gone wrong—I need you!"
