Chapter 205
Guinaifen: "Isn't it perfectly normal for it to end this way?"
Miss Qingque: "With our General making a move, it was bound to be a clean sweep."
Miss Qingque: "I think this outcome is quite reasonable."
Miss Qingque: "If you want to blame someone, blame the General for being too strong!"
Stelle: "Also blame Sunday for being too weak; all show and no substance!"
Stelle: "Acting so high and mighty, I thought he'd at least be on par with Phantylia."
Stelle: "Turns out he couldn't even withstand one of Dan Heng's water dragons."
March 7th: "Speaking of Sunday, why has he gone quiet?"
Miss Sushang: "He's shut himself away, obviously."
Miss Sushang: "That strike in the video didn't just knock down the Dominus of Harmony; it shattered the pride of the Sunday outside the video, too."
Robin: "If this can make my brother see things more clearly, then I think it's a good thing."
Herta: "Clearly?"
Herta: "Tsk tsk tsk..."
Asta: "What does Ms. Herta mean by that?"
Herta: "Nothing much, just find it interesting."
Herta: "This play called Penacony is much more spectacular than I imagined."
The video continues.
【I suppose I can... but you aren't going to be up to your old tricks again, are you?】
March 7th said with hesitation.
【How could I? I've never been up to any tricks... at least, not in front of you.】
Stelle: "You were in front of me!"
Stelle: "I just remembered, you sold me to Aventurine!"
Stelle: "Wuwuwu, you bad woman."
Black Swan: "Oh my, it's rare that you still remember."
Stelle: "Of course I remember!"
Stelle: "Huh?"
Stelle: "Didn't you compensate me with some card or something?"
March 7th: "Seems like a mysterious card?"
March 7th: "Said it could guide you if you ever got lost in the Memory Zone."
Acheron: "I see... it seems you were aware of it early on."
Black Swan: "It is my home turf, after all; how could all of this be completely hidden from me?"
Furina: "???"
Furina: "What does that mean?"
Furina: "Why are you speaking in riddles again?"
Hu Tao: "I'm getting lost too."
Hu Tao: "Have you two figured something else out?"
Black Swan: "Hehe, don't be impatient."
Black Swan: "It's only a deduction, after all; perhaps it might not be accurate?"
【Ms. Himeko and Mr. Yang should still be busy... let's go find Dan Heng first.】
March 7th thought for a moment,
and took Stelle and Black Swan to find Dan Heng.
A moment later,
they found Dan Heng near the bar,
and by Dan Heng's side,
Boothill was following along.
【You're awake, Stelle.】
【How do you feel?】
Dan Heng asked with concern.
【Ha, son of a biscuit!】
【You must be that Stellaron they were talking about, right?】
Stelle: "Meow!"
Stelle: "How does even a guy like Boothill know I'm a Stellaron?"
Stelle: "Who told him?"
Stelle: "Has my reputation spread that far??"
March 7th: "We're doomed. I feel like after this Penacony trip, the whole universe probably knows you're a walking Stellaron."
Stelle: "Doesn't matter, maybe this will add a bit of intimidation factor!"
Stelle: "From now on, whoever pisses me off, I'll just blow up in their face!"
Paimon: "Uh... I feel like an average person might actually be scared off..."
The video continues.
【Who are you?】
【Why are you calling people 'biscuit' so casually?】
Stelle listened to Boothill's flippant words,
couldn't help but cross her arms,
and frowned.
【Let me make an introduction.】
【This is Boothill, a Galaxy Ranger.】
【We met by chance while tracking someone, and happened to discover that Mr. Sunday was brewing a shocking conspiracy...】
【So we found you all to assist the Astral Express crew in saving the world.】
The invisible Black Swan suddenly appeared,
and explained Boothill's identity to Stelle and March 7th.
【Don't mention it!】
【We Galaxy Rangers specialize in drawing our blades to help those in need—Brother Dan Heng, that's how you say it in the Luofu Xianzhou, right?】
Stelle: "We still don't know what exactly Boothill drew his blade to help with."
March 7th: "Uh... maybe he went to help fish people out with Ms. Black Swan?"
Boothill: "Son of a biscuit, am I really reduced to doing this kind of grunt work?"
Boothill: "My bullets didn't even hit the Dominus of Harmony!"
Boothill: "Meow, fighting an Emanator!!"
Boothill: "This was the perfect opportunity for us Galaxy Rangers to make a name for ourselves, and I missed it??"
Boothill: "I, a follower of Aha, cannot accept this!"
Paimon: "I actually think... not fighting an Emanator is a very good thing for an ordinary person, right?"
Lumine: "That kind of power, an ordinary person would probably lose half their life just by brushing against it."
Lumine: "Staying far away is undoubtedly the right choice."
The video continues.
【Something like that.】
Dan Heng nodded at Boothill.
【Hey, wait a second, this is the first time I've heard about tracking someone... who could you be tracking that led you onto the Express?】
March 7th scratched her head,
and asked with curiosity.
【Haha, good question!】
【That would be...】
【It is...】
【Who was it again?】
【Uh, Brother Dan Heng, do you remember?】
Boothill wanted to answer,
but realized he couldn't seem to recall.
Furina: "What's going on?"
Furina: "Did Mr. Boothill forget Ms. Acheron?"
Stelle: "Uh... did Acheron do something to Boothill?"
Stelle: "Or is this the influence of Nihility?"
Acheron: "I naturally wouldn't do anything to him."
Acheron: "As for... the influence of Nihility..."
Acheron: "Indeed, those tainted by Nihility do cause people to gradually forget."
Acheron: "But it shouldn't be this abrupt."
March 7th: "Is it possible that Boothill and Ms. Acheron didn't know each other for long, which is why he forgot so quickly?"
Boothill: "While that's not impossible, given my brainpower, it shouldn't be..."
The video continues.
【So suspicious...】
Stelle watched Boothill struggle for a long time,
unable to give an answer,
and immediately gave him a suspicious look.
【No, no, I really can't seem to remember.】
【Strange, my brain chip isn't malfunctioning either...】
Boothill was quite puzzled.
【... don't seem to remember either.】
Dan Heng frowned,
also unable to recall who it was they were tracking.
【Ah... what's going on?】
March 7th watched this scene,
feeling a bit confused.
Acheron: "Sigh... this scene makes me more certain of a few things."
Black Swan: "The power of Nihility is not disturbed by any Path..."
Black Swan: "Not even Order."
Black Swan: "It seems that in this scene, the one who truly forgot Ms. Acheron is someone else."
March 7th: "You... why are you all sounding more and more cryptic?"
Zhongli: "After everything ends, it should have been as peaceful as shown in the video."
Zhongli: "But now, beneath this calm, there is a faint sense of a coming storm."
Zhongli: "This should not be an illusion."
Zhongli: "Things are far from over."
Furina: "You're kidding?"
Furina: "Does Sunday still have a backup plan?"
Furina: "Or is Sunday not the final big boss?"
Hu Tao: "Do you all remember the Dreammaster who died inexplicably?"
Hu Tao: "Could it be... he's about to come back?"
Stelle: "What is this, one thing after another?"
Stelle: "Can't a person just get a break?"
Miss Qingque: "What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."
Miss Qingque: "With our General here, Penacony won't fall into chaos."
Stelle: "True, whoever isn't convinced, just let the General slash them!"
Stelle: "They'll behave immediately."
Jing Yuan: "Ha, thank you all for the praise."
Jing Yuan: "It's just a pity, I might not have actually been there..."
