Honkai: Star Rail – Banner Character, Delivering Knives to the Player [47]

Seele: “We can’t blow it up.”

March 7th: “See, see? A pretty girl still cares about you—”

Seele: “These are mining assets. We can’t just destroy them at will. Better to fix them and push them aside.”

March 7th: “……”

Fine, forget she said anything.

Seele crouched down, examining the jumbled mining convoy tools, then gave a cold snort.

“The pin connecting chassis and body is broken, and the rear wheel bearings are cracked. Clearly Swarm-bot handiwork.”

March 7th rubbed her chin. “Swarm-bot? That name rings a bell.”

“Remember the robot that gave Sampo a thorough beating in the boxing ring?”

Lingzhou reminded.

“Ohh, right!”

March 7th clapped her hands, memory finally catching up.

“I think that Doc-something mentioned him—Swarm-bot’s machine. So what’s Swarm-bot’s deal, anyway?”

Seele’s expression turned uneasy, dodging the topic for now.

“It’s a long story. In short, don’t mess with him. For now, let’s fix this minecart.”

“We’ll have to search nearby for replacement parts. Tch. What a waste of time.”

---

Ah Xian hadn’t expected the Lingzhou-line story to block progress here of all places.

“I have to complain—this is literally just a minecart about the height of a person.”

“With the nimbleness of these game characters, just hop over it already! Why bother fixing when time is tight?”

“It’s like… the story is forcing a puzzle just for the sake of having a puzzle.”

[LMAO, there isn’t even a jump button.]
[Yeah, sometimes overworld maps just shove dumb obstacles at you.]
[Lingzhou clearly has wings, but the writers sealed them away. Suspicious.]
[If this world were actually real, this kind of nonsense wouldn’t happen.]
[The road’s blocked but not fully sealed. You can see a gap where you could climb the crates.]
[Level design specifically trolling players. Just accept it.]

“Wait, hold on. In beta testing, wasn’t there a little helper robot that helped find repair parts?”

“But we haven’t seen that robot here at all.”

The memory sparked a thread of hope in Ah Xian’s chest.

Maybe Lingzhou has a way?

---

① “Why can’t we just climb the boxes or the minecart and go?”
② “Is this… also part of trailblazing?”

March 7th spread her hands helplessly.

“Sadly… yes.”

“Absolutely tragic. The writers must have beef with the level designers—because the game itself just roasted its own dumb setup.”

---

Laughing at both the choice and March 7th’s resigned line, Ah Xian decided to let the gripe go.

Better to hope Lingzhou had a solution. Since the helper robot wasn’t around.

---

① “Let’s split up to search for parts, more efficient that way.”
② “Help me, reliable Lingzhou-sensei!”

---

“Oh-ho?”

Ah Xian blinked, stealing a glance at the chat.

[Pick one, pick one, they’re identical options!]
[Seriously, don’t pick two!]

“You think I’m brainless? If they’re really identical, why would you feel the need to warn me?”

Without hesitation, she picked two.

“Obviously I have to act spoiled toward my reliable, handsome Lingzhou-hubby! Hopefully with voiced lines.”

---

Stelle clasped her hands together, voice solemn.

“A rookie Nameless shouldn’t be burdened with parts-fetching trials. Help me, Lingzhou-sensei!”

“…Wait, there’s actually a voiced line for this?”

Ah Xian’s eyes went wide.

Even the stream viewers looked blank for a moment.

“Shame the delivery didn’t sound spoiled at all—it was just sincere pleading.”

[Imagine if the MC actually used a spoiled tone on Lingzhou—would’ve been hilarious.]
[Isn’t this literally Clara’s ultimate line? I’m dead.]
[Swarm-bot is reliable to Clara; Lingzhou is reliable to Stelle, huh?]
[Sharp-eyed student, you spotted the real point.]

---

The camera shifted to Lingzhou.

His expression froze briefly—then curved into a small smile.

“Then hold steady. Support March—her footing’s weak, she’ll topple easily.”

He opened his palm, a vortex of wind forming, expanding outward.

Then clenched his hand, pulling the scattered vortexes back together.

“Ahhh—!”

March 7th lost her balance, tumbling right into Stelle’s arms.

Stelle: “You’re more fragile than Lingzhou-the-doctor. Even a breeze knocks you down.”

March 7th elbowed her hard.

“He claims to be fragile and you just believe him?!”

“Stop elbowing me. What if you bruise me for real?” Stelle sighed, steadying her.

---

[Yesss, Stelle and March-wife hugging!]
[Quick, thank Yifu for the assist!]
[Thanks for the wingman play, Yifu!]
[Bronya and Seele’s constitution is too good—I wanna ship this pair instead~~]
[Cyan Sea group UP, UP!]
[Why is no one shipping Lingzhou-Yifu?]
[What, you wanna go looking for a stepmom?]
[Reverse father–daughter romance? Too cursed.]
[No, Yifu is for respecting, not for shipping. Show some manners.]

“Please, Stelle is just pure. My hubby could never be some fragile doctor. I know exactly how strong he is.”

[Details, details—how strong?]

“Oh, do I really need to spell it out? You all know already.”

[True, considering Ah Xian makes fanworks, she can set the duration however she likes.]
[Suddenly anticipating a doujin where Yifu disciplines her with a stick for three days straight…]
[Too modest. Knowing Ah Xian, it’d be double that.]

Ah Xian raised a finger toward the camera like a doge meme.

“Look at you degenerates. Didn’t we already analyze hubby’s kit? Isn’t his strength obvious?”

[That’s the “strength” you meant?]

“What else? You youngsters are too filthy. Learn from my purity.”

[???]
[You better actually be pure.]

---

The screen shifted back to Lingzhou.

Lowering his arm, he revealed a neat pile of mechanical parts at his feet.

Not messy at all—arranged in perfect order.

“These should be enough to repair the cart. Let’s get to it. For Stellaron clues—our road has been nothing but hard.”

① “Thank you, Lingzhou-sensei.”
② “Without reliable Lingzhou, this little trailblazing family would fall apart.”

March 7th gasped: “You’re implying I’m the burden? But you just insulted yourself too!”

Stelle answered earnestly: “Going by memory, I haven’t even reached one month old. Being a burden is normal. Please understand.”

March 7th: “ヾ(≧へ≦)〃”

Her shamelessness knows no bounds!

Seele: “Your trick’s interesting. That was wind just now, wasn’t it?”

“To be able to control wind… do all Outsiders wield powers like that?”

A human using wind to drag a pile of scattered parts together—astonishing.

March 7th: “I don’t.”

Stelle raised her hand. “I have super strength. One punch to kill a bull—does that count?”

March 7th: “There you go again.”

Seele hefted a wheel axle. “Strength is just talent. That doesn’t count as unusual ability.”

Stelle: “Talent still beats having none. Unlike our cute little March with zero abilities.”

“I think you’re the useless one. I’m just modest! My six-phase ice is amazing, okay!”
