HSR- Multiversal Projection Chapter 19
🕑 Added 2025-04-30 03:00:06 +0000 UTCChapter 19: Furina's heart was pounding! Pom-Pom is so cute!
【 Stelle strolled through the space station, still hesitant about her future choices.
In the distance, she saw Dan Heng, but when she walked over to talk to him, she didn't know what to say. Instead, Dan Heng, usually cold and aloof, spoke first, "What's wrong? You look like you have something to say?"
A hint of curiosity and confusion appeared on Stelle's face, "From the moment I met you, I've always felt like you're not the type of person who enjoys traveling."
Dan Heng shook his head, his handsome face still calm and expressionless, but his tone had a slight inflection, "Riding the Astral Express is not the same as 'traveling' or 'adventuring'... The Astral Express represents 'Trailblazing', you know?"
"'Trailblazing' means 'the unknown', whether it's unknown risks or unknown pleasures." Dan Heng paused and said,
"In my opinion, the unknown is no more terrifying than the known. The unknown often means it can still be controlled and changed."
"I see..." Facing Dan Heng's direct and honest gaze, Stelle's eyes slightly darted away, "But I'm a little hesitant."
Dan Heng's clear, cold voice echoed in her ears, "Don't use hesitation as an excuse. If you hesitate for too long, your original ideas will dissipate."
Stelle's whole body jolted, as if seeing the sun through the clouds. She had decided in her heart.
"Thank you, Dan Heng."
Dan Heng nodded slightly, turned around, and continued to look at the Starry sky.
Having made up her mind, Stelle walked towards the platform where the Astral Express was docked. Upon seeing Himeko's iconic red hair, she stepped forward and greeted her warmly.
"How is it? Have you thought about it?" Himeko smiled slightly, "You can say anything you want."
After pondering for a moment, Stelle asked the question that was deeply hidden in her heart, "Why did you invite me on board?"
Himeko didn't hide anything and went straight to the point, "Because you are different from everyone else. The 【 Stellaron 】 in your body is the primary reason, but it's not the only reason."
"I think you need an opportunity to discover how you are different from others. Everyone tells you how unique you are, that you have a 【 Stellaron 】 in your body..." Himeko paused, shook her head, and continued, "But knowing this yourself, and being told by others—no matter how credible the statement seems—are two completely different things."
"You need to experience enough to know what you have gained and lost because of the 【 Stellaron 】 and who you really are. Only by learning how to control this 【 Stellaron 】 can you control your own destiny." 】

"If she came to our village, this girl would probably be the 'Stellaron Jinchuriki', right? But it seems the Stellaron is much more dangerous than you."
"Oh?"
Kurama snorted with slight dissatisfaction.
"Hey, hey, don't get angry."
Naruto laughed heartily,
"I believe in the 'Cancer of All Worlds' theory. This thing probably has the energy to destroy the world. But in my personal opinion, this thing is both a danger and an opportunity."
Naruto, who also had a nuclear weapon sealed inside his body, strongly agreed with Himeko's view. Initially, because he had the Nine-Tails sealed inside him, he was regarded by the villagers as the embodiment of disrupting the village's peace and was often met with cold eyes.
But as he gradually cultivated, from the initial uncontrollable half-Tailed Beast form to the Nine-Tails Mode... he knew very well how much his strength had leaped forward after fully mastering the Nine-Tails' chakra.
"If Stelle is willing to visit the Konoha, I'd have a lot to talk about with her."
Naruto rested his chin on his hand, imagining the scene when the light curtain opened a passage connecting the two worlds one day, and he had a friendly meeting with the crew of the Astral Express.
"Aren't you afraid of the danger brought by the Aeons?"
Kurama cautioned.
When the Remembrance Aeon appeared in the Simulated Universe, even someone as strong as Naruto couldn't help but fall into memories—although he quickly regained consciousness, he had a preliminary understanding of the Aeon's power.
"Yeah, I've thought about that, of course, there will be danger."
Naruto was optimistic. He got up, stretched, and smiled as he touched Kurama, who was lying on the ground,
"Opportunities and dangers always come together... Haven't we overcome all the dangers we've encountered over the years?"

【 After Himeko's explanation, Stelle was even more convinced of her inner thoughts—she was going to the train!
She raised her head and formally told Himeko her decision. Himeko simply smiled gently and placed her hand lightly on her shoulder, "Get on board, we're about to depart."
After the group entered the train, after several minutes of preparation, the train finally started slowly. March 7th stood by the window, enthusiastically waving to the people outside the window.
On the platform, Asta and Arlan politely waved goodbye to them, while Herta, after confirming that they had safely set sail, turned around and continued her research without looking back.
Stelle leaned against the window, looking at the space station with some reluctance, when suddenly a "Hey" interrupted the sentimental atmosphere she had just built up.
"Hey! I'm calling you, hey!"
Stelle looked around and saw a fluffy, strange creature slowly walking towards her feet. It wore a tall hat, a cute red uniform, and a pair of huge ears that drooped to the ground, like a rabbit, but it walked upright.
However, this creature didn't feel particularly strange. On the contrary, no matter how you looked at it, it was nine or even ten points cute. 】

~Genshin Impact World~
"So... so unbearably adorable!"
Furina's heart raced!
After five centuries of existence—after enduring every fleeting plush toy trend Fontaine had to offer—she'd never encountered a creature this delightfully charming before!
...It was love at first sight.
And she wasn't alone. Practically overnight, all of Teyvat had fallen under the same spell.
The moment images of Pom-Pom spread, Fontaine's toy factories exploded into action. Overnight shifts, frantic sculpting—every manufacturer scrambled to flood the market with Pom-Pom plushes and figurines before their competitors.
They knew—this was a goldmine waiting to be tapped.
Meanwhile, in Snezhnaya...
A certain toy-obsessed Harbinger found himself cornered by his younger siblings, their eager voices overlapping by the crackling fireplace.
"A-Ahaha... Alright, alright!"
A flustered Childe wiped his brow before barking orders to his Fatui agents:
"Get to Fontaine—now! Buy every last Pom-Pom doll you can find!"

(Translator note: I feel really odd when seeing the "Pom-Pom" name, I'm used to "Pam", should I stick to "Pom-Pom" or use "Pam"? as the HSR Conductor name...
And for those who got confused about the Pom-pom name as 'Pam', I give you an example in Chinese pom-pom name was 帕姆 (Pàmǔ), which sounds like "Pam" or "Pah-moo". Also in Japanese, Pom-Pom's name is パム (Pamu). The pronunciation is similar to 'Pam' in Chinese, but with a subtle Japanese vowel sound at the end of the 'mu' syllable, where the 'u' is often less emphasized and sometimes almost unvoiced.)
