The moment Stelle accepted, she suddenly realized something. "Wait a second… I'm the manager. But what about you two?"
Pei Guang grinned. "We'll just wander around and have fun."
March 7th nodded eagerly. "Yup~ And if you ever get tired, you can always take a break and explore with us."
Pei Guang added, "If you need anything, just call us. We're still in Belobog. It'll take us less than a second to get here."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Stelle had a strange feeling, as if she had figured something out. But honestly, she was quite interested in being the museum's manager—or rather, its director.
At the same time, Stelle had been thinking a lot. Some things could be fought for and seized, but not stopped. And since stopping it wasn't an option, she decided to just go with the flow.
Of course, aside from that, she also remembered something—this museum had exhibits related to her and the others. Most of them documented their journey, the key moments, and, of course, their final battle with Cocolia.
Thinking about this, she suddenly got an idea—one that could only be described as devious. Her expression turned serious in an instant.
"Ahem! Alright, you two go off and have fun! But next time, Ah Guang, you have to take me out on an adventure alone!"
Pei Guang responded without hesitation, "No problem~"
He didn't notice Stelle's shift in expression, but March 7th did. "Wait a sec—why do you look so suspicious? What kind of scheme are you cooking up?"
Stelle smirked. "How could I possibly be scheming? I'm not plotting anything—I just have a belly full of mischief."
Pei Guang laughed. "Not a big deal. What kind of sinister thoughts could Stelle possibly have?"
Stelle proudly puffed out her chest. "Exactly! My thoughts aren't sinister—I'm just full of mischief."
Pei Guang shook his head with a chuckle. "Alright, alright~ If you're excited about this, we'll leave it to you. March and I will just roam around and have fun. Now that Belobog is developing and rebuilding, I bet there are plenty of interesting things to see. Let's check out the places we haven't explored yet."
Stelle waved them off. "Go on, go on! Don't get in the way of my grand museum plans. I'm going to make this place famous across the entire universe!"
Pei Guang encouraged her, "Good luck! If you need anything, just call us."
"I won't. Now get going—I can't wait to get started."
With that, Pei Guang and March 7th left the museum. As Stelle watched them disappear through the doors, a sly grin spread across her face.
"Pela, the museum has records about us, right?"
Pela nodded. "That's correct. Is there a problem?"
Stelle nodded back. "Yes, a big one. I want to review our records. I was there, after all—I can help fill in any missing details."
Hearing this, Pela's eyes lit up. "Really? That would be a huge help! But… won't it be tiring for you?"
Stelle shook her head. "Not at all. Come on! Take me there—I need to make some edits."
Pela felt something was off, but since Stelle was so eager, she decided to lead her there.
Pela gestured ahead. "Alright. All records about your journey are in the historical archives. Follow me!"
Upon reaching the historical section, Stelle was greeted by the detailed records of the Trailblazers' journey. At that moment, she broke into a mischievous smile.
She had no intention of tampering with anything that would damage her teammates' reputations. Instead, she was here to… enhance her own.
Yes, Stelle took it upon herself to add a few extra details to her own description.
Originally, her title was just [Trailblazer Stelle], but with a few careful strokes, she made a slight modification.
Now, it read: [Trailblazer Pei Guang's most cherished, valued, and favorite Trailblazer: Stelle].
After making the edit, Stelle beamed with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Pela had been watching the whole process from start to finish. As a fellow girl, she immediately understood Stelle's intentions.
In that instant, her inner gossip-loving soul awakened. "Stelle… do you… like him?"
Without any hesitation, Stelle nodded. "Yeah! I like Ah Guang. I like being with him. And maybe~ hehehe~"
Stelle grinned, completely lacking the usual demeanor of a normal girl. After laughing for a moment, she spoke seriously, "Hmph! It's not just me—March definitely likes him too. Anyone who's spent enough time around Ah Guang and doesn't like him would've left already. The ones who stick around? They obviously like him. Honestly, I even think Dan Heng is fond of him."
The moment those words left her mouth, Pela's eyes lit up. "Ahem! Details! I need details!"
Stelle smirked. "Alright, let me tell you. That guy Dan Heng—he may look cold and distant on the surface, but deep down, he…"
She started talking at length, recounting her observations and analyzing Dan Heng's actions without any embellishments—just her honest deductions.
But when she finished, Pela looked a bit disappointed. "So it seems like Mr. Dan Heng just sees Mr. Pei Guang as his closest friend…"
Stelle puffed up with pride. "Of course! But let me tell you, March and I don't just see Ah Guang as a friend~"
Understanding Stelle's implication, Pela curiously asked, "Does he know? Wait—don't tell me… is he trying to have it all?"
Stelle put her hands on her hips. "Who knows? But let me tell you, Ah Guang is really good at winning people over. Though honestly, anyone who came later doesn't stand a chance against March. After all, the first people Ah Guang saw when he opened his eyes were me, March, and Dan Heng!"
Pela glanced at the smug Stelle and murmured, "Have you ever considered the possibility that, in the end, the winner might be Mr. Dan Heng?"
Stelle's expression froze. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible…"
"…"
"…"
Inside the museum, Stelle and Pela were deep in their gossip session. Meanwhile, outside the museum, Pei Guang and March 7th were walking together when, suddenly, they both sneezed at the same time.
After sneezing, March 7th sniffled and said, "Hmm… Someone's definitely talking about us behind our backs. Otherwise, how could we both sneeze at the same time?"
Pei Guang chuckled. "Maybe it just means we're connected."
March 7th's eyes widened. "Huh? That actually makes sense!"
The two shared a smile, but just then, their phones vibrated simultaneously.
Taking out their devices, they saw that Bronya had created a group chat and added them, along with Stelle and Dan Heng.
Bronya: "I heard you've all returned to Belobog?"
Pei Guang: "Yeah, we didn't have much going on, so we came back to explore and see what's new."
Bronya: "Here's the thing—because of the Fragmentum and the lockdown, many of our usual celebrations and events have been on hold for years. The people of Belobog haven't had a proper festival in a long time!
In a few days, it will be the Solwarm Festival—our first true celebration since Belobog's revival. I want to prepare it properly and make it special. I'd love for all of you to attend and witness how much Belobog has changed."
Just as Pei Guang and March 7th were about to reply, Stelle beat them to it.
Stelle: "No problem! I'm the manager of the museum now, Bronya, come visit! I've got some great things to show you."
Staring at the message, March 7th turned to Pei Guang. "Ah Guang… I don't know why, but I have a really bad feeling about this."
