Did the Trailblazer Become a Pirate?

The Trailblazer, who should have woken up on a space station, was quietly whisked away by an unknown System.

The System promised to send her back to her original point in time once she completed the tasks here.

And so, at the System's request, Stelle set sail.

*

[Here, take this. I smuggled it over without anyone noticing.]

"What is it?" Stelle's eyes widened with excitement.

Look at that captivating sheen, that smooth feel. It was simply perfect!

[A baseball bat. It's a weapon for you.]

"Amazing! From now on, I'm the Galaxy Bat Hero!"

Stelle struck a pose with the baseball bat raised and shouted.

[...That's so like you.]

*

Stelle curiously poked the snail in front of her. "What's this?"

[It's a Den Den Mushi, the communication device used in this world.]

"Whoa! Talking through a snail is so cool!"

"Should I do as the locals do and use this to communicate?" Stelle asked, full of curiosity.

She even started wondering where she should tuck it when she went off adventuring.

[...You don't need to. I'll give you a phone and connect it to the Den Den Mushi's signal. Then you can just make calls on your phone.]

"Yay! Making calls with a phone instead of a Den Den Mushi is way cooler!"

*

"What's this one?" Stelle poked the System.

[...A portable waypoint. I borrowed it from the world next door. It lets you travel quickly back and forth to a place.]

"Woohoo! I'm so lucky~"

[Yes, yes. Please, just do your tasks already.]

*

The System was horrified.

[How could this thing have appeared here!?]

Stelle held up her new weapon, a mighty greatsword, and looked puzzled. "What's wrong?"

[How did it end up in my Warp!? But you shouldn't be able to use it...!!?]

The System watched Stelle become a Preservation Trailblazer and fell silent.

Far beyond the stars, aboard the Astral Express.

"Any news? Have you heard anything?" March 7th kept asking Dan Heng.

"Not yet. Don't worry. Everyone is doing their best to find her."

"How can I not worry? Who knows where she suddenly went? There's been no word at all. I hope nothing happened to her. I'm really worried!"

*

"Any news, Silver Wolf?" Kafka asked.

"Don't worry, Kafka. It's strange. We haven't found her anywhere. It's as if she vanished from this world, but I'll keep searching. You can count on me."

"Mm, thanks for your hard work, Silver Wolf. Elio's worried too. He says fate has been completely thrown off course."

[At heart, it's still a story about getting close and cuddly with the protagonist.]

[They're all characters I love. What a dream crossover!]

The Honkai: Star Rail plot comes in pretty late, so you can read this even if you haven't played the game.

Mostly third-person narration. The story should have a fairly slow pace.

Theme: Together, let's set out in pursuit of happiness.
