[Honkai: Star Rail] I Tried to Capture Sunday, but He Heard My Inner Thoughts

My new novel, My Professor Keeps Trying to Get Herself Killed, is now online. The pairing is Anaxa. Come see the daily battles between a couple reunited after a long separation!

01

Jian Mingwei transmigrated into the game she was playing and became Jian Mingwei, eldest daughter of the Hound Family and fiancée of the former head of the Oak Family.

But this wasn't the outcome she wanted.

The System that brought her here: Hm? Don't you always ask when there'll be news about Sunday? Here's your chance to get close to him.

Jian Mingwei, struggling to handle her Imaginary Pulse Weapon: ...Could you take another look at my identity and mission before saying that?

The System fell silent at once.

Because Jian Mingwei was a devout follower of Harmony;

Her current duty: capture the family traitor Sunday across the entire galaxy;

Her main quest: purify Sunday and lead him to find true eternity.

02

Sunday realized that something was very wrong after the fall of the Dream of Ena.

First, he had inexplicably gained a fiancée, and no one else thought this was strange.

Second, he could hear this fiancée's thoughts, and they were all sorts of strange.

For instance, when she forcibly cut off his planned escape route during a capture:

"Great! Next, should I chase him into the Herta Space Station for exotic pet training, or trick him into going to Penacony for the Dreamscape Academy celebration?"

Or when they ran into a cowboy who loved to pull a gun and confess his love:

"System, time works differently in this world, right? Is there any chance we could send Bubbles back to save his family?"

And when she was spending time with him and another version of himself:

"Wanhvik is the old Sunday. There's no way I can handle both of them at once, or I'll have to coax him four times just to keep him from finding out I broke off the engagement!"

03

In the daily cycle of redemption disguised as capture, Sunday gradually came to understand what Jian Mingwei meant by "purification."

He watched her laugh and joke around with the Astral Express Crew, work together with the Ten Stonehearts in a competition, take the Chrysos Heirs of Amphoreus to experience the world beyond the stars, and help rebuild the frozen lands of Jarilo-VI...

He watched her steadily increase her standing in the family and support his younger sister, Robin, in pursuing a broader stage despite the objections of others.

The eternal paradise drew ever closer, so close that Sunday overlooked how fragile an ordinary game player was in this world. A conspiracy, a single bullet, and her blood could stain his fingers red.

Hearing this, the System was stunned. "Huh? You mean that ordinary game player who got so mad she slapped Aha, who'd kidnapped her, nearly got forcibly parasitized by the Abundance so she teamed up with Aha to beat up the Aeon of Abundance, and got conned by the Aeon of Elation into knocking on Qlipoth's divine body, only to abandon Aha and run off on her own... that ordinary game player?"

Jian Mingwei, more fearless after dying once, replied, "Trust me, I've got experience now. No one is going to get hurt again while I'm around!"
