Honkai Star Rail: I am the Emanator of all Eons

After confirming Oleg and Wildfire's collaboration in the Coup d'Etat plan, we returned to the city to finally rest. As for Bronya, she stayed behind with Seele and Oleg; apparently, they had things to discuss; since it's none of our business, we didn't delve into the topic and retired first.

-Hm~ Today was a very long day.

March commented as she walked and stretched her arms at the same time.

-And tiring.

Commented Stelle with little encouragement.

When we arrived at our destination, a woman named Gertie greeted us with open arms.

-Oh, you must be Oleg's guests. Welcome to the Grand Hotel Goethe!

As good news, Oleg arranged single rooms for us at the Grand Hotel Goethe, free of charge! It means that the fortune I made at the Fight Club I can keep for myself.

-Oleg wants me to take good care of you. Here is the key, you will stay in our larger room.

After Gertie handed us each a key, she withdrew leaving us alone.

The feeling of a moment's peace thrilled March.

-I need a hot shower and a good night's sleep!

-Did someone mention a pillow fight in Nadie's room?

-Oh, good idea Stelle! Let's go to Nadie's room and have some fun! Would you like to join us, Dan Heng?

-Hey.

I can't believe those two selfish women invited themselves to my room. Although my body has proven not to need to eat or breathe, I still need to sleep and rest.

Luckily, Dan Heng is on my side.

-We'd better go to bed early and replenish our energy. We went through a lot of adversity today and I think the next few days will be just as exhausting.

After listening to Dan Heng's reasonable explanation, the girls calmed down and decided to postpone the pillow fight.

-No, don't postpone it, cancel it forever. Why does it have to be in my room in the first place? In any case, March's room sounds more exciting.

-Hey!

After getting takeout and dinner together, we said goodbye to each other to each go to our rooms to rest. Tomorrow will be a long day after all.

------

-How tired I am... I hope I can sleep well.

Leaving her cell phone with a pre-set alarm on the nightstand, Stelle lay down on the bed facing forward. Of course, before going to bed she made sure to wipe off the sweat with a hot bath and also brushed her teeth to avoid cavities.

After covering herself with the quilt, Stelle's eye lids began to feel heavy. Again, a strange dream...

-I have lost her... My wish, her so-called plan... What's the point?

That voice belongs to Cocolia, and the second voice....

(Your pain... your sorrow... useless feelings... abandon them...)

It is the Estelaron.

-Silence! It's my daughter, my only one... You soulless monster... How can they understand?! You will never understand... Never!

(You didn't lose her... She waits to meet you on the other side...)

-A new world...

(Arise, Guardian... Fulfill your destiny... Fulfill a mother's wish...)

Suddenly, the image in Stelle's dream became distorted, the voice of the Stelaron was interrupted; instead, the image of a certain familiar face appeared....

-W-wait Kafka, at least let me take a break. Silvie and Herta were since last night....

-No~

It's Nadie's ahegao...

-My cell phone! Where's my cell phone! I must add this to my collection any way I can!

That simple realization of the situation made Stelle's will reach a level never seen before, managing to take control of her own body despite being inside a dream!

The events of this dream takes place in Nadie's room at Space Station Herta, it is the recording of an event that happened a few hours before Stelle's "birth".... 

-You're a man, aren't you? Show your mother how much you've grown up~

-N-not there, wait...! Not so deep...!

It was then that Stelle remembered it....

-The nightstand.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Never before in her life had Stelle regretted so much such a casual decision as putting her cell phone aside.

-S-Something is wrong with your tongue..... why is it stretching so much?

-Delicious~

Since it's a dream, it couldn't be paused. With no other choice, Stelle rekindled the flames of will in her eyes with another mindset.

-A-at least I must engrave this in my memory! No, my soul!

As a certain saying goes: The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

------

-Hm~

After stretching my arms while lying on the bed, I proceeded to get dressed and get up.

Although today was a long day, the reality is that my participation was minimal; therefore, compared to the others, I don't feel so tired.

-I'm going to go do some research in the Overworld.

Luckily, while we were walking in the direction of meeting Cocolia, I activated a Space Anchor from nearby, I also activated all the Space Anchors from the Fragmentum although teleporting there directly is more dangerous.

When I left my room, I happened to find Stelle and Bronya talking outside.

-Nadie, what a coincidence, you couldn't sleep either?

Bronya greeted me as soon as she noticed my presence. As for Stelle, why is she looking at me shyly...?

-I'm young, that's why I'm full of energy. Bronya, how was your talk with Oleg?

-Although it was not a friendly conversation and we did not agree on everything, I found out too many things in a short time and now I can't sleep.

Unlike the game, here Bronya didn't try to arrest us early in the day as soon as we left the Goethe Grand Hotel of the Supramundo; that's why she didn't stay awake to keep watch but because of insomnia.

-And you, Stelle?

If everything went according to the plot of the game, Stelle must have woken up because of a nightmare, dreaming of Cocolia and the Estelaron's voice again.

-I...

With her eyes lowered and her ears red as a tomato, Stelle gently grabbed my hand and led me to a more private place; both Bronya and I looked at her confused but said nothing. I didn't quite understand what was going on but I didn't resist either.

After we distanced ourselves a little from Bronya, Stelle whispered in a mosquito voice....

-I dreamt about Cocolia and the Estelaron....

-Again? I understand, it must have been a difficult nightmare to digest.

-No, it wasn't just that.

-There's more?

An unexpected variable...?

For some reason, Stelle's blushing got worse.

-Hey, are you okay?

I looked at Stelle worriedly, touched her forehead to confirm... it's burning.

-By any chance, are you sick?

-I-I'm fine!

Stelle replied nervously.

-I-It's just that... your ahegao...

-My what...?

-I dreamt about your ahegao...!

-...

-You seemed to be on the Space Station and you were with a woman named Kafka doing.... Is she one of your wives? I'm sorry, I must have dreamt something too random.

-Oh... Don't worry...

KAFKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

No matter how you look at it, this Stelle's dream is due to the chip Kafka implanted inside the Stelaron! 1 terabyte! How much did she see?!

-Listen Stelle, forget everything you saw in that dream, it's all fake.

Please don't let me see Kafka eating my...! Damn it, it doesn't matter where, Kafka has already tasted every corner of my body!

Just when I thought I could at least maintain my dignity in front of the members of the Astral Express...!

-*Sigh*. Come, let's go back to Bronya.

-Un.

Stelle nodded obediently.

Crying won't solve anything, I can only pray that Stelle doesn't dream about those kinds of things again.... I COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG; of course, this is something I would only realize in the future.

-Did something happen?

When Bronya saw us come back to her, one with a flushed face and the other with a complicated expression, she was very curious about what we had talked about.

-Please don't ask.

This taboo subject must not be spread any further, I will do everything in my power to silence Stelle.

Seeing that we had no intention of explaining anything, Bronya did not probe further into the subject. Instead, her tone of voice became more serious....

-Guys, since there's no one else around.... can I ask you something?

Bronya's sudden change of attitude shows that she is slowly opening up to us. If that's the case, it means that event will happen soon.

-That Stelaron they spoke of.... If they found it, how sure are they that they could stop the Eternal Ice?

-100%.

Unlike my previous unreliable appearance, this time I answered instantly with a soft smile, devoid of doubt.

-Belobog's weather may not return to its former glory immediately, but I can assure you that the Eternal Ice will gradually recede. This is not the first time I have dealt with a Stellaron; to tell you the truth, you might even call me an expert in this.

I worked with the Estelaron Hunters for several years after all.

-So you can rest assured Bronya. With my presence here, Belobog will have a future whether it wants to or not.

-I see. I wish I could be so optimistic....

-It's not optimism, it's a fact.

I explained without giving any chance for refusal.

Knowing that I was so confident of my words, it brought an inexplicable sense of relief to Bronya.

-Sorry girls, I have something important to do. So, I'll leave first.

I left Bronya and Stelle alone without giving them a chance to ask me where I'm going.

If everything goes according to the plot of the game, Bronya will open up more to Stelle after walking around for a while, the two of them will meet Natasha and Seele, then they will casually hear that Natasha is about to run out of medical resources. Thus, Seele, Bronya and Stelle will travel to Natasha's old orphanage in Villarremache to recover supplies left in the past.

This event is vital for Bronya to recover her childhood memories, revealing that she actually belonged to that orphanage before being adopted by Cocolia. After several events and emotional problems, Seele would be the first person to open Bronya's eyes with harsh words and that will turn the two into best friends.

The dependence that Bronya and Seele will create with each other is necessary for a better future in Belobog, only then they will share their difficulties with each other and fight together, overcoming all kinds of adversities in the future.

This part of the plot, I don't need to intervene and Stelle will be safe with those two, I doubt Nanook will be so cowardly as to make a move at that moment.

The unexpected meeting with Clara and the connection they will create, doesn't need my presence either.

Instead, I will ascend to the Overworld via a Space Anchor and make preparations for the Coup d'Etat plan.
