Chapter 306: Chapter 306: “Herta Breaks Down Again (and Again)”

”Who are you? What are you doing in my office?”

Herta looked impatiently at March 7th, who had tiptoed in.

She seemed... vaguely familiar.

”Me? I’m a passenger of the Astral Express! We met at the platform earlier, Ms. Herta!”

March pointed at herself and reintroduced herself.

”Oh, that pink-haired shorty? Yeah, I remember a bit.”

Now that she mentioned it, Herta did recall someone like that.

”So? Are people from the Astral Express always this idle?”

”Pink-haired shorty? You mean me?!”

March pointed at her own face, staring at Herta in disbelief.

That couldn’t be her, right?

Herta was clearly shorter than her!

”Obviously. Besides you, is there any other pink-haired person here? Asta’s not here!”

It was clear Herta had a lot of confidence in herself.

After all, daring to call both Asta and March ”shorties”—

Her own height must be respectable.

Otherwise, she’d just be embarrassing herself.

”But he is too!”

March pointed at Su Ran.

Herta turned to look—

Sure enough, his black hair had turned pink, just like March’s.

”Hey—can you not keep undermining me in front of others?”

Who could understand this feeling?

Your own ally constantly exposing you in front of outsiders.

Even someone like Herta had a sense of shame.

”I was just testing a basic application of this energy. Turns out it works great for hair dye.”

Su Ran casually activated the Honkai energy again,

And his hair returned to black.

”Such dangerous energy—other people use it for destruction, and you use it to dye your hair...”

Herta sighed.

She was already used to this kind of thing.

Otherwise, she’d have complained even more.

”Am I... interrupting something?”

Although hearing about their dynamic from Asta sounded exciting,

Seeing it in person—

March felt their chemistry was even stronger than she imagined.

If she didn’t have a request,

She wouldn’t dare interrupt them.

”If you need something, just say it. Stop beating around the bush. Our time is valuable.”

Why all the hesitation?

Did she think their time was cheap?

People lined up and still couldn’t get a chance to meet them—

And here she was wasting it?

”Then I’ll say it directly. I heard from Stelle that you’ve been researching whether Uncle Yang’s memories were tampered with?”

If they were geniuses,

Then solving something like this should be possible, right?

”Yeah, but unfortunately, everything about Welt’s body is normal. No traces of interference. That strange feeling he mentioned isn’t related to memory.”

Thinking about it still bothered Su Ran.

Sometimes human intuition was strange—

But Welt’s case was too strange.

What did it mean to feel like someone should have existed in his past—

Yet there were no memories at all?

And no signs his brain had been altered?

It made no sense.

Could it really be the power of the Finality?

Unfortunately, with his current ability,

He couldn’t see through it yet.

At minimum, it would require a Path-level (Aeon-level) understanding.

But reaching that level—

Wasn’t something that could be achieved through simple accumulation.

”Then... can you check my memories? I’ve already started a new journey, but I still want to know what happened in my past.”

March finally stated her request.

Some people, after losing their memories, chose to move forward.

Others—

Clung tightly to the past.

”I can try. But I can’t guarantee results.”

Since March wanted to explore her past,

There was no issue.

Even though it wasn’t part of their current research focus,

Su Ran knew she was special.

And he didn’t mind investigating.

Besides—

This likely involved the Garden of Recollection.

Spending some time on it wasn’t a problem.

”Don’t you think you’re a bit too lenient toward girls?”

Herta suddenly interjected, clearly unhappy.

She hated it when Su Ran wasted time on unrelated matters.

Especially now—

When there were so many important things to study.

Like:

Stelle, the humanized Stellaron

The Equivalent Exchange Device

The mysterious energy in Su Ran’s hand

All of these required attention.

Yet he still had time for this?

”Is it wrong to be a bit lenient toward pretty girls?”

Su Ran shot back.

”...Then what about me?”

That line immediately annoyed Herta.

Why did other girls get ”leniency,”

But she got nothing?

She was a pretty girl too!

And honestly—

Was he even being sincere?

Ruan Mei hadn’t received any special treatment either.

And she wasn’t unattractive.

”You? I’ve never even seen your real body. How would I know if you’re actually pretty or not?”

Herta had always used a puppet body.

How could Su Ran know what she really looked like?

”!!!”

That did it.

Herta snapped.

She jumped up and grabbed Su Ran by the collar.

”Come with me to the Blue Planet right now! I’ll show you what the most beautiful girl in the universe looks like!”

This guy had gone too far.

Question her character—fine.

Suppress her intellect—fine.

But now—

He was questioning her looks?!

Did he think she was harmless?!

”No thanks. You already tried proposing while using a puppet. If I meet you in person, who knows—you might lock me in a basement and turn me into a research subject.”

”...”

Herta was so furious she started pounding his chest with her fists.
