Since the coordinates were identical, did that an the location of this anomaly was actually the entrance to the Honkai world? But… this Honkai world probably wasn't Uncle Yang's, right? It should be the one he had visited before.
If that was the case, it ant that within this universe, there were at least two locations leading to two Honkai worlds with different tilines.
One was Welt's native world, which, according to Uncle Yang's description, should be behind a Star Gate. The other was the Honkai world that Wende had intervened in, which was the location of the anomaly the train had detected.
This ant that the train's next destination…
Was the "Honkai World"?
Wasn't that a little surreal? He imagined the train docking just outside the atmosphere of the Honkai world's Earth, a stoic Uncle Yang silently looking at his younger self, a stunned Hiko staring at her Honkai world counterpart…
He couldn't think about it anymore! He was [Order], not [Elation]!
However, the crew had already decided to investigate that anomalous node, so the matter was set in stone. There was no need for him to change anything. Perhaps the arrival of the Astral Express could make this tiline's Honkai world a little 'better'...
He wondered how Wendy was doing after he left. Was she getting along with her classmates? Was she eating properly? Had she built a good relationship with Kiana and the others?
Closing his eyes, Wende once again focused his consciousness on the 'eye' and, using the coordinates of the Honkai world, instantly transferred it there.
In the pitch-black of space, a familiar "dark sphere" appeared before Wende's vision. It was identical to the wormhole he had seen back on Punklorde. However, compared to the previous one, this one was clearly much larger, perfectly capable of allowing the Astral Express to pass through… almost as if it had been reserved for them.
Under Wende's control, the eye passed through the wormhole unimpeded, arriving in the Honkai world…
The wormhole was located near this world's Mars. Concealed by the nearby asteroid belt, the people of the Honkai world had likely not discovered this "wormhole" yet. That was a small blessing; at least the train's arrival wouldn't be too conspicuous.
Maneuvering the eye to this world's Earth, Wende imdiately found the Far East and, relying on his mory, located St. Freya Academy.
It was currently dayti in the Far East, around one or two in the afternoon. However, today seed to be a day off. There weren't many students walking around the St. Freya campus, making it feel sowhat empty.
Ti really flew. It was autumn when Wende had left, but now St. Freya was blanketed in white snow. People had naturally switched to their winter attire. Though, the Valkyries of St. Freya… were still sporting the classic getup of a warm jacket up top with a short skirt and bare legs below. Perhaps that was just the Valkyrie way.
"It's fine. My Wendy would definitely be a good girl and bundle up properly, right?"
Recalling the smile of his little angel Wendy, Wende felt a wave of healing warmth.
He should check the dorm first to see how she was doing.
Following the route from his mory, Wende controlled the eye back to the dormitory he had shared with Wendy.
Passing straight through the door, Wende was certain Wendy wouldn't notice him, as the eye was incredibly difficult to perceive. But at the sa ti, he was surprised to find that Wendy was not in the dorm.
"Did she go out with Kiana and the others?" Wende couldn't help but wonder.
Well, since he was here, he might as well check the room.
The entire dormitory had been kept very clean by Wendy. She seed to have added quite a few new things. On the sofa, Wende saw several long body pillows. It would have been even better if he could ignore the fact that his own likeness was printed on them…
But Wende was used to this by now. Although his departure hadn't been without notice, he always felt a sense of indebtedness towards Wendy. Perhaps it was because he hadn't spent much ti with her…
Looking at the magnets on the refrigerator, the notes he had written back then were still stuck there. Wendy had carefully replied to every single one of his ssages. It seed she had been eating properly…
Below the recipe for egg and tomato noodles that Wende had left, Wendy had used a new fridge magnet to write down her own findings, like how tomatoes tasted even better if you froze them before peeling, though it was a bit more trouble.
Almost every recipe he had left had a reply from Wendy. She had truly put her heart into trying every single thing Wende had left behind…
Perhaps… this was what family felt like.
Wende suddenly felt an impulse to return to Wendy's side right this instant. She was really… a little too sensible for her own good…
His old bedroom had also been kept very clean by Wendy. There was no dust on the headboard, and the quilt looked like it had just been folded that morning. It seed soone had moved into his room.
Alright, seeing his own body pillow by the bed, it was likely Wendy had moved into his room after he left…
It was ti to go find her.
Creeak…
Just as Wende was about to set off in search of Wendy, the door behind him made a sound. A familiar figure slowly walked into the dormitory.
It was Wendy!
However, she looked different from what Wende had expected. Wendy was only wearing a thin-looking tracksuit. Judging by the sweat on her forehead… had she just been training? That wasn't good. Her legs had only just recovered; how could she engage in strenuous exercise?
Just as Wende was making a ntal note to correct Wendy's mistake when he returned, Wendy, now sitting on the sofa, took off her tracksuit, revealing the form-fitting sports underwear she wore underneath.
What shocked Wende wasn't that the child was truly unafraid of the cold, going out to train in so little clothing, but…
Sitting on the sofa, Wendy simply waved her hand. The upper compartnt of the refrigerator in the kitchen swung open, and a can of ice-cold coke slowly floated out, landing perfectly in Wendy's hand.
"Is that… the Herrscher of Wind?"
