Honkai: Star Rail: Miss Qingchen Is Just Adorable

(The cluttered synopsis for Volume One actually describes the unreleased Volume Two.)

Astral Express Survival Rule No. 1: If you meet a beautiful girl with long silver-gray hair and fox ears on the road, no matter how cute she looks, absolutely do not strike up a conversation!

Stelle: Why? She looks like she needs help.

March: Because the next second, you might be helping her test terrifying questions like “Will being watched by an Aeon make you grow taller?” or “Will swallowing a Stellaron whole give you diarrhea?”

Rule No. 2: If you’ve unfortunately already spoken to her and realize she looks under five feet tall, whatever you do, don’t call her a little kid!

Stelle: What’s the reason for that?

March, rubbing her knee: She’ll leap up at a speed you can’t react to and land a precise blow on your kneecap! Call her Miss Qingchen! Got it?

Rule No. 3: Watch her eyes! This is a survival guide!

Pale blue: Safe. You can feed her, and even carefully rub her ears, if she doesn’t dodge.

Bright red: Don’t bother running. She probably won’t leave until she’s had her fun with you.

Any other color: Good luck. Improvise.

Stelle: ...Like a neon sign? And it changes color?

March: Maybe? But remember these rules. Under no circumstances, absolutely never, let her find out

Stelle, whispering: March, she seems to be right by my leg... Her ears just twitched, too.

The next second, they both crouched down in perfect unison, clutching their knees.

My name is Stelle. I just joined the Astral Express, and my dream is to become the Galaxy Bat Hero.

But my biggest challenge now is figuring out how to survive beside a fox-eared girl who has amnesia, thinks in bizarre ways, and seems to have caught the eye of several Aeons, while keeping my kneecaps intact. It all started when she staged an accident on that planet to get us to stop...
