~9 min read 1,673 words

【Stop using riddles to insult my dignity.】

【You came to see me specifically just to satisfy your own vicious vanity?】

Sunday looks at Jade,

his expression a bit impatient.

【Of course not.】

【I came to fulfill your sister's wish and provide an absolutely generous deal—it just depends on whether you are willing to accept it.】

March 7th: "Now it can be confirmed, it was indeed Miss Robin who asked Miss Jade to come."

Stelle: "I'm more curious about the content of the deal, how generous is it?"

Stelle: "Don't tell me Sunday is going to mix in the IPC?"

Stelle: "Are the Ten Stonehearts expanding?"

Furina: "If that's the case, that's really dramatic!"

Furina: "The former Oak Family Head finally becoming one of the Ten Stonehearts, this reversal is too unexpected."

Hu Tao: "Doesn't seem very likely."

Hu Tao: "And Mr. Sunday might not agree."

The video continues.

【Robin....?】

Sunday was stunned when he heard this.

【Building a true paradise where everyone can find peace, this is the promise between you two siblings, right?】

【If I said you still have a chance to realize this promise...】

【Would you be willing to talk to me?】

Jade asked softly.

【....】

Sunday was silent for a while.

【I know this question is heavy, so you don't need to answer me now.】

【Go, you are free, you God-chosen one who tried to transcend your duty.】

【Break your own wings, go to the human world, walk on the earth, and see the true appearance of this human world.】

Stelle: "Miss Jade's words make a lot of sense."

Stelle: "Sunday should see more of the true appearance of the human world."

Stelle: "Instead of generalizing based on the atmosphere of Penacony."

March 7th: "If he learned to be down-to-earth like Miss Robin, he wouldn't be so extreme."

March 7th: "But fortunately, looking at the video, he still has new opportunities."

March 7th: "In this way, this ending seems even more perfect?"

Paimon: "Eh, it really feels more complete."

Paimon: "I was still feeling sorry for the ending of Miss Robin and Mr. Sunday."

Paimon: "Now that I see Mr. Sunday still has a chance, I suddenly feel much relieved."

Lumine: "The main reason is that Mr. Sunday isn't a bad person in the true sense."

Lumine: "On the contrary, he is a person with great love."

Lumine: "It's just a pity that he went astray on the road to realizing the great love in his heart."

Boothill: "Damn it, since he's got a chance for a new life, he should learn his lesson and turn over a new leaf, right?"

Sparkle: "I understand the logic!"

Sparkle: "But why break his wings!!"

Sparkle: "I don't allow it, because the chicken-wing boy should have wings!"

Sparkle: "Without them, he wouldn't be the chicken-wing boy anymore!!"

Miss Qingque: "Uh... this is just a metaphorical statement, right?"

Miss Qingque: "Not really going to break his wings..."

Stelle: "It's okay, we can't call him the chicken-wing boy, we can call him the guy with a ring on his head!"

March 7th: "Ahem, I think you're discriminating against the Halovian race, and I have evidence!"

The video continues.

【I will not accept your charity.】

Sunday shook his head slightly.

【I said, this is a deal, and you don't need to respond immediately.】

【Harvest doesn't come overnight; what I'm best at is waiting.】

【The sweet dream is still continuing, the night is still long, you have plenty of time to consider slowly.】

【Ah, one last piece of advice before parting—consider it advice from someone who has been there...】

【Life is short, don't miss the opportunity.】

Mualani: "Oh, Miss Jade's tone is really like a senior who is earnestly caring for a rebellious child!"

Stelle: "Comparing it to the scene when meeting Old Odi alone, Miss Jade is indeed very different now."

March 7th: "So will Sunday finally accept Miss Jade's charity... oh pfft!"

March 7th: "It's a deal!"

March 7th: "Will he accept it?"

Lumine: "Mr. Sunday is a smart person, I feel he won't refuse in the end."

Lumine: "After all, there are many ways to make the world better."

Lumine: "This one doesn't work, doesn't mean others won't."

Furina: "Speaking of which, is it possible that Mr. Sunday will lose himself again on the road to pursuing paradise, thereby causing even bigger trouble??"

Stelle: "And then happen to run into our train crew again?"

Stelle: "Damn, what kind of 'cutting weeds without removing the roots, spring breeze blows and regenerates' is this!"

Stelle: "But seriously, I don't think so."

Stelle: "He's not that stubborn; even if he's stuck in a dead end for a while, after thinking it through, he should be able to wake up."

Stelle: "Sunday, right?"

Sunday: "Mm, I won't make the same mistake again."

Sunday: "I will find a more suitable method to complete the great wish in my heart!"

The video continues.

The scene shifts,

returning to the carriage.

【You have an interstellar communication message, please check it in time.】

In the observation carriage, Pom-Pom suddenly discovers a message.

【Oh? Hmm...】

Pom-Pom hurriedly checks it a few times,

and the expression on its face changes slightly.

【What's wrong, Pom-Pom?】

Himeko discovers its abnormality,

and asks.

【The train just received a message from the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou. Judging from the summary, it seems to conflict with the next itinerary plan.】

After Pom-Pom finishes explaining,

a holographic projection of Jing Yuan appears in front of everyone.

【Long time no see, friends of the Astral Express, I wonder if your Trailblazing journey is going smoothly?】

【Recently, the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou is about to hold a celebration, the Wardance Ceremony.】

【You have helped the Luofu quell disasters and are good friends of the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance.】

【Here, Jing Yuan represents the Divination Commission to sincerely invite you to attend the ceremony; please be sure to take time out of your busy schedule to grace us with your presence.】

Stelle: "Ah this???"

Stelle: "We haven't been away from the Luofu to Penacony for long, and now that we're just about to leave, the Luofu is inviting us back again?"

March 7th: "Wardance Ceremony?"

March 7th: "Eww~"

March 7th: "Don't blame me for being a crow's mouth."

March 7th: "I feel like something is bound to happen when I hear these words."

March 7th: "Originally, I thought coming to Penacony would be happily attending the Charmony Festival!"

March 7th: "As a result, after all the twists and turns, such a series of thrilling and soul-stirring stories happened!"

March 7th: "So, if we happily go to attend this Wardance Ceremony, it definitely won't be smooth sailing!"

Stelle: "I agree."

Stelle: "But we can't refuse this face, right?"

Stelle: "After all, General Jing Yuan and us have a life-and-death friendship!"

Stelle: "Let me secretly ask General Jing Yuan: tell me honestly, is the Luofu Xianzhou going to have some trouble again?"

Stelle: "So you're recalling us, this elite force, to work for you?"

Jing Yuan: "Oh my, you've misunderstood me!"

Jing Yuan: "Am I that kind of person?"

March 7th: "Yes."

Jing Yuan: "Ahem.... everyone is overthinking it."

Jing Yuan: "The Luofu Luofu Xianzhou has just experienced a disaster, and it's a time when we need to boost morale."

Jing Yuan: "So I want to hold the Wardance to liven up the atmosphere."

Jing Yuan: "And I know you guys like excitement, so I thought of inviting you."

Jing Yuan: "Haha, of course."

Jing Yuan: "I also hope that you warm-hearted people can help with some small things within your power at the same time."

Jing Yuan: "Then Jing Yuan would be very grateful!"

Stelle: "Sure enough, I knew it!"

Stelle: "The General calling us must mean he's short of elite laborers again!"

Lumine: "Why does this familiar feeling exist?"

Lumine: "Why do I feel like I've had such an experience too?"

Paimon: "Lumine, no need to feel."

Paimon: "Along the way, haven't we worked as laborers many times?"

Furina: "So.... the next itinerary is going to change again?"

Furina: "Originally it was that Land of Eternity."

Furina: "Now it seems it's going to be the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou."

Hu Tao: "But in this way, is the fuel still enough?"

Hu Tao: "Don't let the train run out of energy completely after going to the Luofu Xianzhou."

Paimon: "Don't let that happen!"

Paimon: "I'm still dreaming that one day, the Astral Express can drive to the Teyvat continent!"

Himeko: "It shouldn't be that tight."

Himeko: "With the train's existing energy reserves, as long as we plan the itinerary route and save a bit..."

Himeko: "Going to the Luofu once isn't difficult."

Welt: "The problem is, I feel the same as March, I always feel that this trip to the Luofu will also be full of crises...."

The video continues.

【It's really lively, just got away from the Family's Charmony Festival, and there's a new invitation so soon.】

Himeko finishes watching this holographic image,

feeling quite emotional.

【I have psychological trauma from grand celebrations.】

Stelle scratches her head,

indicating that whenever she hears about grand celebrations,

she feels terrified.

【Me too!】

【And also, attending two grand celebrations in a row, does it seem a bit like neglecting our proper work?】

【The train's proper work should be restoring star maps and route data, and doing some serious scientific research, right?】

Stelle: "Wait!"

Stelle: "Is the train really doing these things?"

Stelle: "Restoring star maps and route data, plus scientific research?"

Stelle: "This sounds more like something the Genius Society should do."

Stelle: "Isn't our Astral Express an organization that just rushes in?"

Himeko: "Ha, it seems your understanding of the train only stays on constant Trailblazing adventures."

Himeko: "But in fact, recording and researching along the way is also something the Astral Express does."

Himeko: "It's just that this doesn't happen often."

Stelle: "Okay, this doesn't sound suitable for me."

Stelle: "I guess it's either Mr. Yang's job, Dan Heng's job, or just your job, Himeko."

March 7th: "Why not me?"
