Honkai Star Rail: A Ben Across Space {REWRITTEN}

Chapter 2

"Ben-lobog"

Ben and Stelle are walking up to Himeko to have a proper chat on Stelle's decision

Himeko: I see that you two are doing well. How was your time with Miss Herta?

Ben: It was fun

Stelle: It was fun

Ben turned to Stelle

Ben: Are you copying me?

Stelle only gave him a smile in response and earned a giggle from Himeko

Himeko: Alright, now on topic. Have you made your decision, Stelle?

She gave a pause

Stelle: I still have something to talk to you about, Himeko

Himeko: Hm? Go ahead, speak your mind

She gave a small bow

Stelle: Thank you

Himeko: There's no need to be so formal. You helped us defeat that big fella, anyway. Plus, If we keep speaking pleasantries, we'll waste a whole day

Ben: I think Himeko is right, you even saved March

Himeko gave him a nod

Himeko: You've done me a huge favor by defending the space station from the Antimatter Legion. And know that while Herta may not admit it, she owes me one. And she will not refuse me if I ask for a favor in return...

A small smile came to her face

Himeko: And it's probably not too much to ask for a rare item from the space station, right?

Ben and Stelle gave her a shrug

Ben: I mean... I guess?

Stelle: Probably

Himeko didn't add any further to that

Himeko: How about we continue talking on the Express? I'll make you a cup of coffee, my special blend

Ben quickly whispered to Stelle

Ben: This is an advice... Don't... Just don't drink her coffee

Stelle showed him a questionable look

Ben: While you were passed out, she tries making me coffee... And I don't want to add further to that

Himeko: What are you two whispering about?

She still had a friendly smile to her face while Ben tried lying to her

Ben: Well... Um... I was just telling her how great your coffee was

He tried his best to cover his left eye from twitching. Stelle, noticing this, tried asking a different question

Stelle: Have you taken care of everything you need?

Himeko turned to Stelle

Himeko: Haha, I was ready ages ago

She gave a sigh

Himeko: I've been here so many times before, it should've been just an ordinary trip for me... But everything's not so ordinary anymore, is it?

She closed her eyes

Himeko: Walking the same path over and over will never be the same, there will always be something new. That's the meaning of trailblazing
