Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Lumina, You Wouldn't Want to...



At the space station platform, just before the Astral Express's departure, Lumina, Asta, and others gathered to bid farewell.

Standing before the Astral Express's doors, Lumina watched March 7th bounce around excitedly beside her, wearing the five-pointed star hairpin Lumina had given her.

Even knowing they would soon meet again in Penacony, March 7th couldn't hide her sadness at this parting.

"Alright," Lumina replied with a gentle smile.

"I hope you're still just as lively when we meet again, March."

"Huh?" March 7th tilted her head, puzzled by Lumina's words. "Shouldn't I be more mature by then?"

Lumina didn't answer, simply shaking her head gently.

Time would naturally bring maturity. But forced growth in a short time... that path was fraught with hardship. Lumina preferred March 7th to hold onto her current exuberance.

"Hey, Sister Lumina, you're not going to keep treating me like a kid forever, are you?" March 7th asked, exasperated by Lumina's enigmatic silence and head shake.

"Not at all," Lumina chuckled, glancing at the group waiting for March 7th in the distance. "Alright, March, hurry up and get on the train. If you miss it and get stuck here, don't expect me to help you. You'll be left to fend for yourself."

Seeing March's exasperated expression, Lumina couldn't resist teasing her.

"Do you really think I'm still a kid?" March retorted, rolling her eyes.

Lumina smiled, sensing Stelle's location. She was currently on the Astral Express, chatting with Himeko. Reaching out, Lumina pinched March's cheek, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "I remember you asking me to be your mom before. Well, I accept now."

With a playful giggle, Lumina transformed into March's mother.

[MIss Lumina, you wouldn't want...]

Lumina blinked, confused. [ Huh? ]

Reading the system message, she realized it wasn't exactly wholesome either... or rather, the system itself wasn't very proper. Discovering the system's true nature, Lumina couldn't help but feel a slight fondness for it.

Lumina gazed at March 7th, releasing her cheek and chuckling, "So, in Mom's eyes, you'll always be a little kid, right?"

March 7th fell silent.

"Alright, alright, hurry along now," Lumina said, bursting into laughter at March 7th's sudden silence.

"Then I'm off!" March 7th called out, turning to wave a final goodbye to the Astral Express behind her. "Bye-bye!"

"Mm-hmm, bye." After bidding farewell to Lumina, March 7th scurried aboard the Astral Express.

As the train doors closed, Lumina's smile faded.

"Sister Lumina and Miss March 7th have such a lovely relationship," Asta remarked, having observed their interaction.

"Who could dislike such a lively and adorable child?" Lumina chuckled softly, turning to Asta as she walked away. "Asta, I'm heading out now. Contact me if you need anything."

"Okay."

Asta nodded, her gaze shifting between the departing Astral Express and Lumina's retreating figure. She murmured to herself, "Sister Lumina's personality is completely different from the rumors I've heard about her."

Inside Lumina's room on the Space Station:

[Host, have you completely abandoned the Belobog storyline?]

"What choice do I have?" Lumina replied, nodding as she crunched on a potato chip. "Only by disappearing for a while can I make the players truly appreciate me."

Her actions on the Space Station had undoubtedly given them a sense of security. Once they reached Belobog and found her gone, they would miss her all the more.

When the Xianzhou Arc arrived, she could make a grand reappearance, and the Resonance Value would come flooding in.

[To put it bluntly, you're just being lazy.]

"Hmm♪"

Lumina ignored the System and quietly scrolled through Bilibili on her phone.

Unsurprisingly, her name was trending at the top of the search results.

As she scrolled, a video suddenly caught her eye. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately clicked on it.

Let's see what wild theories they've come up with this time.

Lumina sat up straighter, watching with keen interest.

The video's full title read:

The Most Comprehensive Analysis Online: Lumina's Identity, Path, Strength, and Estimated Banner Release Date

The video began, and the content creator, being considerate, immediately provided a summary at the start.

"To save everyone's time, I'll get straight to the point."

"Lumina, the Cosmos-roaming Physician, Emanator of Abundance, the flawless Saintess."

"In-game, she's a high-damage Erudition Main DPS with AoE attacks and some Abundance effects. She's highly likely to become the strongest Main DPS of the current version."

"Her banner release date is uncertain, but it will definitely be before Version 2.0. So if you plan to pull for Lumina, remember to save your pulls."

"Alright, that's the summary done. Now, hit that like, comment, and subscribe! Let's analyze how we arrived at these conclusions based on all the available information."

Lumina: ???

Lumina was completely stunned by the introduction.

I'm an Erudition Main DPS now? The strongest Main DPS of the version?

Is this analysis really that outrageous?

I'm just a humble Abundance Physician...
