Chapter 17: Boothill: Scaramouche Silly, I Love You to Death!

~4 min read 674 words

"Stelle, look how enthusiastically they're all inviting us!"

"Our Astral Express crew is pretty popular, huh!"

March 7th looked at the invitations from Zhong Li and the others in the chat,

and said rather happily.

"Well, after all, the Astral Express belonging to 'the Path of Trailblaze' has the power to connect the myriad realms."

"They probably want to leave their own hometowns and see the universe too, right?"

Stelle guessed the reason for the warm enthusiasm of the people of Teyvat.

It was nothing more than wanting the Liechezu Gang to connect the Star Rail for them,

so they could step out of the planet they were on.

"Helping them connect the Star Rail — that's not really a problem."

"It's just a shame that without Teyvat's coordinates, we're temporarily powerless to help!"

Welt shook his head,

and said with some helplessness.

They didn't reject helping Teyvat connect the Star Rail,

after all, that was exactly what the Astral Express did!

But to do that,

they first had to know where Teyvat actually was!

Otherwise, in the vast sea of stars, finding an unknown planet

was no different from fishing for a needle in the ocean!

Even if they waited until the few speakers in the livestream just now died of old age,

they still might not find this place!

March 7th: "Um, although we're very happy to help Teyvat connect the Star Rail."

March 7th: "But unfortunately, we don't have Teyvat's coordinates right now, so we can't go directly to you."

March 7th: "I wonder if you yourselves have any coordinates for your hometown?"

March 7th tossed this difficult problem

to the people of Teyvat.

"Teyvat's coordinates?"

"...."

"Probably only Celestia would have that, right?"

Venti saw March 7th's message,

and couldn't help but start thinking.

The entire world of Teyvat was under Celestia's control.

If anyone was most likely to have Teyvat's coordinates,

it had to be Celestia.

But how could Celestia possibly hand Teyvat's coordinates over to them?

"Coordinates?"

"That is rather tricky!"

Zhong Li furrowed his brow,

and for the moment couldn't think of a good solution either.

Nahida: "Sorry, we've never left our own world."

Nahida: "So naturally we have no way of knowing the coordinates of our hometown in the vast sea of stars."

Nahida racked her brains for a while with no result,

and could only send this message with regret.

Himeko: "Stuck in a deadlock?"

Himeko: "If we search aimlessly, even a few hundred years might not be enough to find it."

Brother Dan Heng: "No need to be so pessimistic."

Brother Dan Heng: "There are many marvelous methods in the universe — perhaps we can use them to detect Teyvat's location."

Brother Dan Heng: "It's just...."

Zhong Li: "It's just that probably no one would use such methods for free over a trivial matter like this, right?"

Brother Dan Heng hesitated to speak, but Zhong Li naturally understood what the other wanted to say.

Brother Dan Heng: "Although it's a bit cruel... it is indeed the case."

Zhong Li: "It's fine, we shouldn't have troubled everyone for no reason in the first place."

Zhong Li: "As for the coordinates, let us figure it out ourselves."

Zhong Li: "If we can obtain them, that would naturally be good; if not, it can only mean that we are fated not to meet the vast universe."

At Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Zhong Li sighed softly and decided to take this thorny problem upon himself.

Welt: "In our subsequent journeys, if there's a chance, the Astral Express crew will also try to search for traces of Teyvat."

Welt's words appeared in the livestream, making a promise to Zhong Li.

Zhong Li: "Then thank you to everyone on the Astral Express — Teyvat will surely remember your help in our hearts!"

Venti: "Thank you!!"

Furina: "Thank you!!" +1

Ying: "Thank you!!" +2

Nahida: "Thank you!!" +3

The people of Teyvat, in unison,

began to express their gratitude to the Astral Express crew.

But among them, there was one not-so-harmonious voice.
