Chapter 289

Although the train is undamaged, it might be dangerous to start it up rashly.

No choice, we can only take a short rest.

"Do you want to go take a look on the train?"

"Let's go, this young lady will take you on a tour."

March 7th tugged on Stelle's hand and walked toward the platform.

Come to think of it.

Although Lu Shu appeared to be quite the 'lecher', Himeko, March 7th, and Asta did not feel any disgust.

"If you have time, help clear out the Voidrangers on the space station; I'll pay you in 'Credits'."

Asta didn't follow them, waving her hand as she shouted.

The space station is in a complete mess right now, and she has to go deal with it.

Hearing the three words 'Credits', both Lu Shu and Himeko felt their shoulders twitch.

Only then did they realize that this 'Credit' was not that 'Credit'.

They looked at each other and smiled.

Especially Dan Heng didn't notice, but this detail was keenly captured by Old Yang behind them.

He pushed up his glasses.

In reality.

The Nameless traveling between the stars don't have much income.

As far as Himeko's side is concerned, there are roughly two sources.

One is the cooperative relationship with the space station; they can get some mission commissions from Herta and Asta to earn Credits.

The second is "Helping Others for Fun".

Whenever they resolve trouble in a place, they naturally receive corresponding 'rewards'.

This 'reward' isn't something they actively ask for, but more or less, the other side always gives them thanks.

Additionally, they can also receive quite a few commissions.

……

"Is this the train?"

Stelle looked around curiously.

"How is it? Not bad, right?"

March 7th put her small hands on her hips.

Lu Shu was also looking around.

Is this the legendary Astral Express?

The living room scene is almost identical to what is seen in the game; the train carriage's sense of black technology and classical aesthetics are perfectly blended together.

Thick carpets are laid on both sides of the aisle, simple and elegant.

Of course, there is also the cutest unknown creature.

It looks like a rabbit, but it has a pair of surprisingly large ears.

It wears a black and red uniform, and on its head is a red top hat that is even larger than its body.

It gives one a feeling of being absurd yet interesting.

The conductor, Pom-Pom.

It holds the same status as 'Paimon'.

"What a strange creature."

Stelle stared at it for a while, then said in a cute way.

"This passenger, you are too impolite, Pom! Pom-Pom is Pom-Pom, not some strange creature, Pom!"

Pom-Pom stomped its feet in anger.

A strange 'bubble shoe' sound effect played.

"It can even talk?"

Stelle covered her mouth, feeling even more curious.

This made Pom-Pom even angrier: "Is Pom-Pom's speech strange? It's you, passenger, who is making too much of a fuss, Pom!"

"Hehe~, your reaction is exactly the same as mine when I first woke up."

March 7th smiled.

"Woke up?"

Stelle was curious.

"Oh, I heard from Sister Himeko that I was picked up by her; when I was discovered, I was wrapped in a block of ice drifting through space."

"By the time I opened my eyes, I was already on the train."

"And when I saw Pom-Pom, I had the same expression as you."

March 7th said.

"You didn't lose your memory too, did you?"

Stelle suddenly realized.

Good heavens.

March 7th's background is probably much more impressive than hers, right?

Drifting through the universe wrapped in ice—what kind of power would it take to do that?

"Yeah, our train crew is a 'professional shelter for the amnesiac', you know."

March 7th didn't dwell on it, instead pointing at Especially Dan Heng and laughing.

"He seems to be one too, and Uncle Yang, he never mentions the past; I suspect he forgot it too."

Welt, who was passing by, twitched his eyebrows.

I just don't want to talk about it.

"How miserable."

Stelle was speechless: Is it too late to quit now?

I always feel like I've joined a strange organization!

"Reiterating again, I am the conductor, Pom-Pom."

"Remember the only rule for train passengers: everyone has a special past, Pom; remember not to pry into each other's past, Pom."

"As for other things, it's very free on the train."

"Your rooms will be ready shortly; feel free to look around or go to the space station to play for a while."

When Pom-Pom speaks seriously, it is very pedantic.

It has a very strong air of leadership.

But for Lu Shu and Stelle, they just wanted to pick it up and give it a good squeeze.

Fortunately, Stelle restrained herself.

As for Lu Shu……

"Wow~, it's so fluffy; what kind of creature is Pom-Pom exactly? It's so interesting."

Yeah, he hugged it directly.

Then, Stelle, eager to try, also hugged it from the other side.

And then, poor Pom-Pom became a sandwich.

"Ugh, so soft, so comfortable."

Stelle ("□)/

"Ahhh~, that's enough, you guys, Pom! Let me go, Pom! I'm going to get angry, Pom!!"

Although this is a kind of 'liking', Pom-Pom really can't handle this kind of liking.

Once caught by Himeko, it gets a good squeeze.

Then it's March 7th.

And then it's these two again.

After a good while, until its body was drained and it was panting, Pom-Pom was finally let go.

It straightened its clothes and left angrily, stepping with bubble shoe sound effects.

"Hmph, I'm not preparing rooms for you anymore, Pom!"
