Chapter 209

The video continues.

【I just feel like it's a bit too good to be true...】

Stelle listened to Dr. Ratio and Screwllum's words,

and felt like she was dreaming.

【Indeed, it's especially hard to imagine that members of the Genius Society would be interested in worldly research...】

【... ever mind, the result is good anyway.】

Welt shook his head,

and didn't dwell too much on the problems within.

Stelle: "Look, even I in the video feel it's unreal."

March 7th: "This is more than unreal, I think it can be described as nonsense."

Furina: "But why is this?"

Furina: "Until now, except for the fact that those words were not quite normal, we still can't see any problems."

Hu Tao: "Is it possible that these are true?"

Hu Tao: "That everyone changed their minds later, so they made such a decision?"

Herta: "If I, Herta, could agree to such a decision, I'd write my name backward!"

Jade: "The IPC has no reason to give up either!"

Paimon: "Uh... then what's going on..."

The video continues.

The Express crew trio returned to Jing Yuan.

【No wonder you all insisted on her coming forward.】

Himeko looked at Stelle,

and said with a smile.

【It's great to know that everyone is willing to help Penacony solve its problems.】

【I believe you will be able to reach a consensus in the upcoming negotiations.】

【It seems the future of Penacony is set.】

【I wonder if you all have any other concerns?】

Jing Yuan asked.

【Peace is our greatest wish, we ask for nothing else.】

Himeko shook her head.

【Haha, good.】

【Since you have no concerns, Jing Yuan will bid you farewell here.】

【Travel safely, leave the subsequent related matters to my Alliance.】

Stelle: "The General handles things so thoroughly!"

Stelle: "I'm going to give him a big thumbs up!"

Jing Yuan: "You are all loyal allies of my Luofu Xianzhou Alliance, I should do so."

March 7th: "Although it looks a bit wrong."

March 7th: "But according to the current video, is our pioneering journey in Penacony coming to an end?"

March 7th: "Should we be leaving now?"

Stelle: "Didn't you go to pack your luggage?"

Stelle: "It must be time to go."

Furina: "Everyone is leaving..."

Furina: "So... is there a problem with this video?"

Stelle: "I can't figure it out either... let's keep watching."

The video continues.

After a while,

the Express crew trio bid farewell to Jing Yuan,

and began an internal conversation.

【Since that's the case, it seems we have no worries in Penacony... it's time for us to embark on a new journey.】

【Then you two go back to the Express first.】

【I'll go pick up little March, and check out of the hotel by the way—also, Ms. Black Swan is looking for me for something, right?】

As Himeko was speaking,

Black Swan, who had been quietly following the three,

immediately revealed her figure.

March 7th: "Ms. Black Swan always appearing out of nowhere is really scary."

Stelle: "Is this invisibility or some kind of ability?"

Stelle: "If I had this ability, wouldn't I be invincible?"

Silver Wolf: "Why? Do you want to become a meme?"

Stelle: "Ahem, no."

Stelle: "I just simply want invisibility..."

The video continues.

【As expected of Ms. Navigator.】

Black Swan smiled at Himeko.

【So you've been following us all along... no matter, anyway, Welt and I will wait for you and little March on the Express.】

【Let's go, Stelle. The Penacony journey... is officially over here.】

Stelle: "Is it really... officially over?"

March 7th: "We're about to return to the Express."

March 7th: "Next, we're going to jump away, right?"

Welt: "Quite eerie..."

Welt: "But I can't say what's eerie about it."

Himeko: "It doesn't look like we're controlled by Order."

Himeko: "Otherwise we should have lost our own thinking..."

Black Swan: "Hehe, don't be impatient."

Black Swan: "The truth will always come to light."

Furina: "Eh?"

Furina: "Has Ms. Black Swan already seen something?"

Furina: "That's why you want to discuss things with Ms. Himeko?"

Black Swan: "I have a clue, but I still need more verification."

The video continues.

【The Penacony journey ends here...】

【Hmm... it can be considered a success.】

Stelle muttered in a low voice,

and began to head toward the Express slowly.

A moment later.

【Passenger Stelle, the route meeting is about to start, we're just waiting for you!】

After returning to the Express,

Stelle immediately heard the call of the conductor, Pom-Pom.

【When did the Express become so lively...?】

Stelle looked around,

and actually found Black Swan and Boothill on the Express.

March 7th: "Ah?"

March 7th: "Black Swan and Boothill..."

March 7th: "Why did you two follow us onto the Express?"

Stelle: "What do you mean, are you going to join us and become Nameless?"

Boothill: "Son of a biscuit, I'm doing fine as a Galaxy Ranger, how could I change careers?"

Boothill: "Probably... just catching a ride?"

Black Swan: "As for me... my purpose for boarding the Express... perhaps just to verify some things."

The video continues.

【Ahem... so everyone is here, Pom.】

【Then let's start the route meeting now!】

A group of people gathered together,

under Pom-Pom's hosting,

and began to hold a train meeting.

【Is this to decide where the next stop is?】

【How do we do it, voting or?】

Boothill asked.

【Don't be impatient, cowboy.】

【When in Rome, do as the Romans do; let them decide.】

Black Swan said with a smile.

【Where did you all come from?!】

Stelle looked at these two people,

and finally couldn't help but start asking.

【Let me explain.】

【Mr. Boothill and Ms. Black Swan, out of their own needs, requested to temporarily travel with the Express crew...】

【As you all know, the Astral Express has never refused any traveler heading toward the distance...】

【So, they will travel with us for a while, until we reach our destination.】

Himeko explained in detail.

【Wow... the Express is going to get lively now.】

【However, Ms. Black Swan, you can't use your Memokeeper abilities to play pranks on the Express!】

Hu Tao: "Does this mean they are going to become temporary Nameless?"

Himeko: "Hmm... that can barely be said."

Stelle: "Tsk, our Express is really going to get lively."

Stelle: "But where are you two going?"

Black Swan: "I do have a place I want to go."

Black Swan: "But my current purpose is not this."

Boothill: "I haven't thought about where I want to go."

Boothill: "Logically speaking, I can gallop through the sea of stars myself, I don't need to take the Express."

Boothill: "Could it be that after I arrived in Penacony, I suddenly had a place I wanted to go?"

March 7th: "That's hard to say."

March 7th: "After all, the beginning of many journeys is the result of a flash of inspiration."

The video continues.

【Okay, Ms. March 7th.】

【I promise you, you will never see me in your room during rest time.】

Black Swan joked.

【Uh... don't scare me...】

March 7th felt that Black Swan was scaring people.

【Okay, okay.】

【Since all passengers have met each other, let's continue the route meeting, Pom!】

【First, the conductor wants to thank everyone.】

【If it weren't for you digging out the truth of Penacony, I might never have been able to know the whereabouts of Mikhail and the others...】

【Although their experiences are a bit regrettable, I think they should have fulfilled their respective wishes... this is all thanks to you.】

【Thank you very much, everyone, Pom.】

Stelle: "Hmm? Something's fishy!"

Stelle: "Why is the conductor so optimistic?"

Stelle: "Shouldn't it be crying its eyes out?"

March 7th: "That's right, the conductor cried its eyes out just watching the video, let alone knowing the truth?"
