"It's not necessary to be heartbroken, Sweet Dew Temple." Shezhu Yihei Xiaobanei walked up to her side and softly comforted, "Actually, although they have been separated, there are still many opportunities for them to reunite in the future, and given their relationship, as long as Xingqiri is willing, he can contact Zhigengniao at any time."

"Wait until one day in the future when Xingqiri clears his name as a fugitive, then he can formally meet his sister. But that day…"

"How far away?" Sweet Dew Temple asked, eyes red.

"Yihei Xiaobanei shook his/her head: 'That depends on what he plans to do; he made such a huge mistake in the family, the family definitely won't let him off easily. Unless… he achieves some earth-shattering feat in the universe in the future, or directly or indirectly saves the family, saves the 【Harmony】 faction, otherwise this won't be easily overlooked. In the family's view, letting Xingqiri escape is no different from letting a tiger return to the mountain.'"

""Not a perfect farewell." Waerte said."

""Already enough. I originally just wanted to quietly stay by her side for a while." Xingqiri lowered his head, gazing sternly at Wanweike, "But why are you doing something unnecessary?""

"Wanweike was still playing dumb: 'What do you mean?'"

""If those two slips of paper are discovered, they will become evidence against her.""

"Wanweike also crossed his arms upon hearing that and said: 'Hmph, you've made arbitrary decisions how many times, and I can't?'"

"Xingqiri remained silent, just staring at him."

Translation: He let out a long sigh: "I also don't want to live with regrets for the rest of my life!". But we need to include the preceding sentence: "Having been stared at for a long time, Wanweike also felt a twinge of guilt, which prompted him to voice his true feelings. He let out a long sigh: 'I also don't want to live with regrets for the rest of my life!'" Use double quotes for the quoted speech? The Chinese uses 「」 for quotes. We'll use English double quotes. So: Having been stared at for a long time, Wanweike also felt a twinge of guilt, which prompted him to voice his true feelings. He let out a long sigh: "I also don't want to live with regrets for the rest of my life!". Ensure no Chinese.

Interpretation: "Being stared at for a long time, Wanweike also couldn't help feeling a bit guilty, and only then did he speak his true feelings; he let out a long sigh: 'I also don't want to live with regrets for the rest of my life.'"

We need to keep quotes? Probably we can keep the Chinese quotes as English quotes. Use double quotes? The source uses 「」. We'll translate to English with double quotes.

Thus: "Being stared at for a long time, Wanweike also couldn't help feeling a bit guilty, and only then did he speak his true feelings; he let out a long sigh: 'I also don't want to live with regrets for the rest of my life.'"

He let out a long sigh: "I also don't want to live with regrets for the rest of my life!"

""Living with regrets..." Walter repeated meaningfully, looking at Wanweike before him, as if he had understood something."

Translation: "'Living with regrets...' Walter repeated meaningfully, looking at Wanweike before him, as if he had understood something."

""This farewell should be over, right?""

Thus: ""Living with regrets..." Walter repeated meaningfully, looking at Wanweike before him, as if he had understood something."

""This farewell should be over, right?""

Translation: ""This farewell should be over, right?""

""This farewell should be over, right?""

""Hmm, only the last stop remains. But before we depart, Mr. Walter, I still have a question to ask you." Xingqiri paused, "I'm curious, why did you become a nameless client?""

Thus: ""Hmm, only the last stop remains. But before we depart, Mr. Walter, I still want to ask you a question." Xingqiri paused, then said, "I'm curious, why did you become a nameless guest?""

We need to keep quotes: The Chinese has outer quotes enclosing the whole line, with inner quotes for spoken parts. We'll output: ""Hmm, only the last stop remains. But before we depart, Mr. Walter, I still want to ask you a question." Xingqiri paused, then said, "I'm curious, why did you become a nameless guest?""

""Why suddenly ask this?""

Translation: ""Why suddenly ask this?""

""Why suddenly ask this?""

"Xingqiri: "I've always had a feeling that you wouldn't abandon anyone who needs help. Along this journey together, I've become even more convinced of this. Right now, countless worlds above are waiting for the Astral Express to visit. Yet you and your companions have stayed here merely for a stranger you've never met and a notorious fugitive.""

""The essence of pioneering is to move forward, not to stay put, yet you've poured your time into countless passersby and consider this… natural?""

Translation: ""The essence of pioneering is to move forward, not to linger, yet you have poured your time into all these passersby and consider this… natural?""

""The essence of pioneering is to move forward, not to stay put, yet you've poured your time into countless passersby and consider this… natural?""

Thus: ""The essence of pioneering is to move forward, not to linger, yet you have poured your time into all these passersby and consider this... natural?""

——

This line is just an em dash? The Chinese line is "——". We need to output "【19】 ——"? Actually we need to output the translation of the line. The line is just an em dash. Should we translate as an em dash? Probably keep as "——". The instruction: translate faithfully. So we output "【19】 ——". But we need to keep each translation on a single output line. So output "【19】 ——". Ensure we include the brackets and the dash.

Qin Dynasty's Bright Moon

Thus line 【20】: "Qin Dynasty's Bright Moon."

We need to keep the period? Chinese ends with a full stop 。 We'll include a period.

"Of course it's natural!" Tianming said somewhat excitedly, "The Train Crew in my heart is like… a cosmic hero darting between stars! They ride swift horses named 'Travel' across world after world, upholding justice, saving this one then that, then that one then this! In short, the Train Crew's creed is to abandon no world, and certainly no person.""

We need to keep quotes: The Chinese has outer quotes enclosing the whole line, with inner quotes for spoken parts. We'll output: ""Of course it's natural!" Tianming said somewhat excitedly, "The Train Crew in my heart is like… wandering between each star… a cosmic hero! They ride swift horses named 'Train', chivalrously traveling from world to world, saving this one then that, saving that then this! In short, the Train Crew's principle is to never abandon any world, and of course never abandon any person!""

Looking at Tianming's energetic expression, Gao Yue couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Translation: "Seeing Tianming's enthusiastic appearance, Gao Yue couldn't help but smile knowingly."

Looking at Tianming's energetic expression, Gao Yue couldn't help but smile knowingly.

""Tianming, the Train Crew you speak of doesn't resemble 【Pioneering】; it's more like 【Harmony】."

Translation: ""Tianming, the Train Crew you speak of doesn't resemble 【Pioneering】; it's more like 【Harmony】.""

""Tianming, the Train Crew you speak of doesn't resemble 【Pioneering】; it's more like 【Harmony】."

""No, the difference is great." Gai Nie slowly lifted his gaze, his eyes falling on the towering buildings of Pinokangni, "The way of Harmony certainly has the principle of 'the strong aiding the weak,' but it esteems even more the path of 'the collective.'"

We need to keep quotes: The Chinese has outer quotes enclosing the whole line, with inner quotes for spoken parts. We'll output: ""No, the difference is great." Gai Nie slowly lifted his eyes, his gaze falling upon the skyscrapers of Pinokangni, "The Way of Harmony, while indeed having the principle of 'the strong aiding the weak,' places greater emphasis on the 'collective' way.""

Thus output as above.

"Chivalrous assistance stems from righteousness. Seeing injustice, draw your sword to help; after the deed, brush off your clothes and go, leaving no name. Between the knight and the aided, it is a relationship of giving and receiving. The knight may help and depart, may hide after the task, may leave no attachments."

Translation: ""Chivalrous assistance arises from righteousness. When seeing injustice, draw the sword to help; after the matter is settled, dust off one's clothes and leave, leaving no name. Between the chivalrous and the aided, it is a relationship of giver and receiver. The chivalrous can help and then leave, can remain hidden after the deed, can leave no attachments.""

"But in the family's eyes, 【Harmony】's aid is not out of righteousness, but because the weak are inherently part of oneself. To protect them is to protect oneself; to assist them is to assist oneself. Between them, they are essentially one."

Translation: ""But in the family's eyes, Harmony's aid is not out of righteousness, but because the weak are inherently part of oneself. To protect them is to protect oneself; to assist them is to assist oneself. Between them, they are essentially one.""

Tianming echoed repeatedly: "Exactly! I just feel the family's desire to control others is too strong, making one uncomfortable."

Translation: "Tianming echoed repeatedly: "Exactly! I just feel the family's desire to control others is too strong, making one uncomfortable.""

Tianming echoed repeatedly: "Exactly! I just feel the family's desire to control others is too strong, making one uncomfortable."

"But Tianming, a strong desire for control may not come from the family, but from Xingqiri and the Dream Master. That person known as Lao Aodi behaves very differently from Xingqiri. Though he could be said to be a family member, he's more like a merchant attached to the family. I've seen no 'strong aiding the weak,' but I've heard a bit about marrow‑sucking."

Translation: ""But Tianming, the one with strong control tendencies might not be the family, but Xingqiri and the Dream Master. The manner of the one called Old Odi is completely different from Xingqiri's. Rather than saying he is a member of the family, he is more like a merchant attached to the family. I have not seen the strong aiding the weak, but I have heard a bit about marrow‑sucking.""

Thus output: ""But Tianming, the one with strong control tendencies might not be the family, but Xingqiri and the Dream Master.

"Thinking back to that old man's performance in the Holy Grail War, Gai Nie couldn't help but grip his sword tighter, "By my conscience, I don't want to regard him as a member of 【Harmony】. In Pinokangni, those who truly practice 'the strong aiding the weak' are only Miss Zhigengniao and the already deceased Mikhail… I haven't seen anyone else.""

Same as line 19: just an em dash. Output "【30】 ——".

For this path, everyone also has their own views, and as long as conditions allow, we will do our utmost.""

Harry Potter

""Huh? What do you mean? Where is there no third person? Isn't Wanweike a person?" Ron eyed the three people in the sky suspiciously, even forgetting to continue copying his potion notes in front of him."

Hermione did not answer right away, but her gaze remained fixed on Xingqiri, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were quickly searching her mind for something.

Translation: "Hermione did not answer right away, but her gaze remained fixed on Xingqiri, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were quickly searching her mind for something."

Hermione did not answer right away, but her gaze remained fixed on Xingqiri, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were quickly searching her mind for something.

""No." She suddenly spoke, "You're wrong—or rather, you're right, but the issue isn't here.""

Translation: ""No." She suddenly spoke, "You're wrong—or rather, you're right, but the issue isn't here.""

""No." She suddenly spoke, "You're wrong—or rather, you're right, but the issue isn't here.""

Ron's expression grew even more confused: "What are you talking about? One moment right, the next wrong—you're not running a fever that's addled your brain, are you?" As he spoke, he prepared to reach out and touch Hermione's forehead.
