Chapter 22: The Doctor Appears! Stelle: I

Paimon: "Is the Star Rail train really like this inside?"

Paimon: "Through the window, you can even see the starry sky outside."

Paimon: "This is so cool!"

Paimon: "I really, really want to ride this train myself!"

Paimon watched the scene inside the train through the video,

and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

Ying: "A train traveling through the stars— not just cool, but also romantic!"

Ying: "By the way, is Paimon, the train conductor of the Star Rail, really this appearance?"

Ying: "I thought the conductor would be a very serious… uh… person?"

Ying looked at Paimon's image in the video,

and felt it differed wildly from her expectations.

March 7th: "Hehe, isn't the conductor cute?"

March 7th: "To be honest, I was shocked too when I first boarded the train."

March 7th: "But don't let Paimon's appearance fool you—it's actually very reliable."

March 7th: "While we were on the train, the conductor took care of all our daily needs. It's like a parent, attending to us in every little way."

March 7th saw Ying's words,

and couldn't help gushing about Paimon.

Himeko: "March 7th is right—the conductor is indeed very reliable."

Welt: "Agreed."

Dan Heng: "Agreed."

Stelle: "Approved. Conductor Paimon is the fattest! I'm cheering for the conductor!"

Paimon: "???"

Paimon: "Nonsense! The conductor is not fat! (angry. jpg)"

Stelle: "Sorry, I typed the wrong word!"

Stelle: "Paimon is the best!"

"Their relationship is so good."

On Teyvat, Paimon watched this scene with a sense of wonder.

"Because they're all like family to each other."

"Just like you and me," Ying said with a smile.

"Like… family to each other?"

"Ying, thank you for saying that!"

"Having you as a partner, Ying, is a blessing I earned in a past life!"

Ying's words made Paimon's eyes well up with tiny pearls.

"A blessing earned in a past life? Hahaha, it's a blessing cultivated through effort!"

"You little fool!"

Ying found it amusing and poked Paimon on the head.

"Is this friendship?"

"It really is an emotion worth envying."

Nahida watched the crew's messages,

and faintly sensed the taste of friendship within them.

Without realizing it, a pleasant curve formed at the corner of her lips.

Arataki Itto: "The Astadde Star System… is this where Penacony is located?"

Kujou Sara: "Boss, it's the Astadna Star System!!"

Arataki Itto: "Oh oh, sorry, sorry, I got it wrong!"

Kujou Sara: "Boss, didn't I tell you not to speak up in there? You never listen!"

In Inazuma,

Kujou Sara looked at Arataki Itto beside her, frustrated.

She had warned him a thousand times not to speak up in there!

Yet he still disappointed her expectations!

He couldn't hold back and let one rip inside.

And it was a stinker.

This left Kujou Sara utterly exasperated.

"Ara, I just… I just couldn't help it!"

"Watching without being able to talk—isn't that the same as killing me?"

Itto rubbed his nose, sounding wounded.

"But Boss, everyone in there has such mysterious backgrounds."

"If you accidentally say the wrong thing and offend them,"

"it won't be as simple as getting locked up in the Tenryou Commission."

"So I'm only looking out for you!"

Kujou Sara pleaded earnestly, determined to make Itto understand her good intentions.

"Aiya, Ah-Ren, don't worry, I promise you, before I speak, I'll definitely use my brain!"

"I absolutely won't offend anyone!"

"I swear!"

"Ah-Ren, believe me, please believe me!"

Yidou beat his chest and stamped his feet, hoping to get Kukishino's agreement.

"Sigh... fine."

"But let's be clear first, before you speak, you have to tell me what you're going to say first!"

"If I don't let you speak, you're not allowed to speak!"

Kukishino really had no choice, so she could only make a compromise.

"Don't worry, Ah-Ren, I promise I'll listen to everything you say!"

Hearing Kukishino say this, Yidou's face showed an expression of wild joy, and his mouth kept making assurances.
