Chapter 428

Snap a photo of the scenery, then snap one of herself.

As for Star, keeping her priorities straight, she dashed to a fragrant snack stall and began devouring everything in sight.

Walking along, she spotted the wanted posters on the notice board.

Immediately, her feet refused to move another step.

Up top were the notices for 'Blade' and 'Kafka'.

Staring blankly, she mechanically stuffed skewer after skewer into her mouth.

Lu Shu took a glance.

From those dazed little eyes of hers, absolutely no emotion could be discerned.

It was just that...

This red wanted poster looked so festively auspicious.

At first glance, one might damn well mistake it for a wedding invitation.

Damn it.

Mama Kafka belongs to me.

World-weary, swollen with guilt, I clutch my regrets.

(p￣皿￣)

On the way to the inn, 'Stellar Jades' occasionally flew overhead from the sky, immediately prompting March 7th to let out cry after cry of excitement.

Of course, this also earned them looks from the locals as if they were country bumpkins.

March 7th didn't care in the slightest; whenever she spotted a beautiful view, she unleashed a barrage of DSLR flash critiques with a 'click-clack'.

'This humble woman,' Miss Miss Tingyun, naturally introduced things along the way as they walked.

Walking side by side with Lu Shu, chatting and laughing, she occasionally leaned against him, whether intentionally or not.

It gave off the strong impression of a couple.

Meanwhile, after finishing her skewers and tossing the bamboo sticks into the trash can, Star's eyes inexplicably began to sparkle again.

(☆ω☆)

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, she rummaged through several more trash cans, thoroughly satisfying herself.

As the sky gradually darkened, the group finally arrived at the inn.

If nothing unexpected happens, then tomorrow something unexpected will surely happen.

"Just seeing the inn sign makes the drowsiness well up uncontrollably."

March 7th lightly covered her small mouth and yawned.

"After all, we've been busy the whole journey."

Star nodded.

"Everyone should get some good rest; tomorrow, tracking down the Stellaron Hunter Kafka will surely be a tough battle."

Welt said.

"Got it, let's report our safety to Himeko in a bit; I wonder if Himeko is feeling lonely all by herself on the train."

March 7th smiled.

"If we want to find Kafka, where do we start?"

Star asked.

"Hmm~"

Welt's brows furrowed; indeed.

The Luofu Luofu Xianzhou is so vast.

Where exactly are we supposed to look?

"Heehee~, that's a question for this humble woman."

"Although she hid very discreetly, the Divination Commission still managed to find a few clues."

Miss Miss Tingyun smiled, then displayed an image of Kafka.

It was precisely the communication that had appeared on the train.

However, what Miss Miss Tingyun produced was only the portion relevant to this side of the Luofu Xianzhou.

【The coordinates are here; everything else is left to your own decision.】

【Although our goals are completely different, the orbits of the stars will eventually converge. Farewell!】

"Is there anything special about these words?"

March 7th didn't understand; wasn't this just their conversation with her?

"Coordinates? Orbits converging?"

Accustomed to major events, Welt always expanded upon information clues immediately.

But Star sensed something off.

"When she was speaking, was there any sound?"

Regarding her feelings toward Kafka, she felt quite puzzled and confused.

Clearly, she remembered nothing.

Yet inexplicably, she felt that Kafka had been very good to her.

It seemed as though the two of them had experienced something together?

But she remembered nothing at all.

To be honest, she didn't really want to capture Kafka, yet she wanted to see her, just to clarify the confusion in her heart.

"Benefactors, do not let your attention be led astray by her words."

"Listen carefully; behind the voice lies the sound of some mechanism operating."

Miss Miss Tingyun smiled slightly as she offered the hint.

"Ah, with this clue, the situation is—completely unchanged! The Luofu Luofu Xianzhou is a starship; mechanical devices are everywhere!"

March 7th cutely spread her hands.

Even if one hears the 'sound,' so what?

Could one possibly find a crucial detail within the noise?

"Young Lady March, for most people, such noises may seem indistinguishable."

"But for the Artisanship Commission, responsible for maintaining facilities, the operation of each machine differs like the high and low notes of a melody."

"General Jing Yuan summoned craftsmen who, after careful comparison and listening, discovered that the background sound in Kafka's recording originated from the shipbuilding facilities at the 'Starport'."

Miss Miss Tingyun explained.

"Although that tune sounds worse than a chorus of Hilichurls!"

But...

Lu Shu clicked his tongue several times; what a mechanical immortal, knowing at a single listen—truly formidable!

"What is a Hilichurl? Cough, cough!"

Miss Miss Tingyun cast an infinitely charming eye-roll, nearly led astray by the tangent.

"Please, benefactors, rest well tonight and conserve your energy; once preparations are complete, we can depart tomorrow to capture the thief, at which point we shall rely on your skills."

"Then, let us meet again tomorrow."

Having said this, she departed.

Just before leaving, she flashed Lu Shu a wink~(☆ω＜)☆

Lu Shu shook his head, looking as though frustrated by iron that refuses to become steel: "Thus, one must never play random background music during confidential conversations."

Everyone: ^_^.

Inside the guest room.

Everyone discussed the information currently gathered!

"I recall something: when Kafka communicated with us, she was holding an umbrella; was it raining on the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou?"

Stelle pondered for a moment, suddenly realizing something.

"You observed quite closely, didn't you? But, what use is that? Rain is quite normal, isn't it?"

March 7th asked curiously.

Why are all the clue locations you consider so bizarre?

"No, this is indeed a clue."
