"What nonsense are you talking about, you child!"
Because of March 7th's arrival, and also because she had been seen in this strange position with Zao Wu, Himeko's pretty face blushed, and she said in an urgent voice.
"But..."
March 7th clearly still wanted to say something, but she saw Himeko wink at her as if giving a hint.
"Close the door first!"
March 7th's eyes widened slightly, as if she had thought of something, and she quickly nodded like a pecking chicken and did as Miss Himeko had said.
"Bang!"
March 7th closed the door, and even very thoughtfully locked it from the inside.
This way, Zao Wu would only belong to her and Miss Himeko!
Yay!!
Himeko also took this time to tidy up her appearance and dress, put on her formal dress, and draped her coat over herself, returning to her usual elegant and dignified beautiful appearance.
If it were just Zao Wu, she wouldn't have minded being dressed more casually.
But with little March 7th here, it wouldn't be good.
March 7th: Why do I feel like I'm the outsider instead...
"Mom..."
Zao Wu looked a little uneasy.
With March 7th's approach, he showed a wary look and carefully moved back a little.
Although he felt that March 7th was a little familiar, overall, she was still a stranger.
This made March 7th's heart feel as cold as ice.
"Miss Himeko, Zao Wu, he...!"
Himeko nodded. Of course she understood what March 7th wanted to say.
She also came to March 7th's side, leaned slightly closer to the young woman's ear, and said in a low voice that only she could hear.
"Zao Wu, he seems to have... forgotten the memories of the past."
"However, just the fact that he was able to reappear unscathed is already the most incredible miracle in this world."
"Besides, how can we ask for more?"
"...It seems, you're right!"
March 7th quickly agreed with Miss Himeko's point of view.
And her gaze also fell on Zao Wu at this moment with emotion, and she seriously observed him now.
Let's not talk about his pure and beautiful appearance and figure.
It was to the extent that every time she saw him, March 7th couldn't help but want to swallow her saliva!
On Zao Wu's body, he was only wearing a white shirt that was not very well-fitting. The long hem of the shirt hung all the way down to his thighs, making people can't help but fantasize, under his shirt, is there...
And besides that, if you want to say what's different about Zao Wu from his past self, perhaps it's just that fox demon mask that he's wearing on the right side of his head.
March 7th's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
To mention the feature of a "mask," it's hard not to think of one of the most famous groups in the entire universe, the "Masked Fools" who believe in the Elation Aeon!
Could it be that Zao Wu's return is related to them??
Then March 7th would have to carefully consider the possibility that Zao Wu was someone else in disguise!
However, looking at Miss Himeko's attitude towards this "Zao Wu" now, it seems that this possibility is very small...
And if a person looks like Zao Wu, sounds like Zao Wu, and there is no part of his whole body that is not Zao Wu, then without a doubt, he is Zao Wu!
Zao Wu was a little uncomfortable being stared at by the pink-haired young woman's gaze.
He slowly raised his hand, touched the fox mask on his head, took it off, and stared at it for a long time.
Actually, Zao Wu also didn't know the origin of this mask.
It was just that he had it since he had opened his eyes again.
And looking at the little fox with narrowed and long eyes, he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.
"Speaking of which, I've forgotten to introduce myself."
"I'm Himeko, the navigator of the Astral Express."
"Zao Wu, welcome back."
After Himeko finished her introduction, the pink-haired young woman followed closely behind.
"Me, me! March 7th! Your little girlfriend!"
Zao Wu hadn't even reacted yet, but March 7th had been rewarded with a flick on the forehead by Miss Himeko.
"Be serious. Don't joke with Zao Wu."
"Wuwu... you even let Zao Wu call you mom. Can't you let me take a little advantage..."
March 7th muttered.
Himeko narrowed her eyes and looked at her.
"What did you say~"
"N-nothing!"
March 7th, with sweat on her cheeks, deeply understood that to get by on the Astral Express, you had to rely on power and background!
Miss Himeko was the biggest background, even to the point of overriding the real conductor, Pom-Pom!
In addition, there was also Uncle Yang as her right-hand man.
Within the entire Astral Express crew, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was an empress who held all the power.
A wise person submits to circumstances.
March 7th had no choice but to suppress the thought of taking advantage of Zao Wu.
However—she was really very excited, very excited and surprised!
Zao Wu's departure was a huge blow to any one of the High-Cloud Quintet.
March 7th was considered relatively optimistic, but that was just on the surface.
It was a look she had put on to comfort the other three.
In fact, she had secretly cried several times behind her back. Every morning when she woke up, her eyes were swollen, like a goldfish's!
Dan Heng was originally very silent, but now he was only silent!
And Silver Wolf's goggles, ever since she had put them on, she had never taken them off.
That genius hacker girl who had once regarded games as the greatest pleasure and meaning of life, now she had no interest in any games.
The most miserable one was Stelle!
This girl was a bit mentally deranged!
She lived in a trash can in the Herta Space Station all day long, and even picked up a "cat-pudding" with a trash can shell inside.
One person and one cat, they depended on each other for survival.
They lived a life of robbing food delivery robots and "begging for food! brothers!" in the researcher's cafeteria all day long.
The young woman seemed to be enjoying it on the surface, but March 7th could read the sadness behind her absurd behavior.
Stelle was fighting the pain in her heart in an abstract way!
Fortunately, all of this would be reversed!
Because Zao Wu had returned!
Then the original High-Cloud Quintet would surely come back!
March 7th couldn't wait to tell this good news to her close friends and relatives!
However, looking at Miss Himeko's meaning, she seemed to want to keep it a secret for a while longer...
"..."
Then I'll just secretly tell them in private!
March 7th secretly made up her mind.
"Mom Himeko, big sister March 7th... I'll remember."
Zao Wu responded seriously.
Himeko came to his side and reached out to gently stroke his hair.
Zao Wu shyly closed his eyes and enjoyed the woman's touch with a pounding heart.
"Heh, women..."
March 7th would not have thought that she would actually let out the same感慨 (gǎnkǎi - sigh with emotion) as Silver Wolf at that time.
But when it was her turn to go to Zao Wu's side, to rub his hair, touch his ears, and pinch his cheeks, she immediately fell silent.
As the only two women on the Astral Express, Himeko and March 7th enjoyed the well-behaved Zao Wu, and were almost about to "enjoy this place so much that they would forget to trailblaze."
It wasn't until Pom-Pom ran over and knocked on Himeko's door, reminding her that it was time to eat, that Himeko and March 7th finally came back to their senses.
And the first thing she was concerned about was.
"Zao Wu, you're hungry too, right?"
Zao Wu held his stomach, and nodded with a blush.
"Then Zao Wu, be a good boy and stay here. Mom will go and get you some food~"
"Mhm, Mom Himeko, Zao Wu will be a good boy."
The corner of March 7th's mouth twitched slightly.
The young woman felt that the two were playing some kind of new play, but she didn't dare to say...
After both of them had left, in Himeko's room, only Zao Wu was left.
And just at this time, the fox mask he was wearing on his head suddenly moved!
