Chapter 33

"Is that what you think, sis?"

"That really does sound like something she'd do."

Gepard saw Serval's comment in the livestream and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Hearing Yanqing: "Hearing Yanqing's view is the opposite of this teacher's."

Hearing Yanqing: "My answer is no!"

Hearing Yanqing: "Because Hearing Yanqing feels that if one already knows the ending before setting out—"

Hearing Yanqing: "—then all of this would lose its meaning."

Hearing Yanqing: "Setting out on the journey again would just be a waste of time."

Hearing Yanqing: "Far better to take the sharp sword in hand and carve out a new path leading to a new ending!"

In the Divine Strategy Hall,

Hearing Yanqing thought hard for a while,

and gave his own opinion.

Paimon: "You all make such good points."

Paimon: "If Paimon had to choose, I'd choose yes!"

Paimon: "Just like Miss Serval said, Paimon only wants to travel with Ying forever, so I don't care what the ending is."

Ying: "Mm-hmm, Paimon's thoughts are my thoughts!"

Sampo: "I'm more inclined to agree with young man Hearing Yanqing's view. Walking a road with a fixed ending is simply a waste of life."

Sparkle: "That's right, that's right~ Once you already know the fun, it gets boring! You know."

Sparkle: "So why would I bother spending effort on this? With that time, I'd definitely go find some fresh fun~"

Welt: "My choice is yes! Because this is what it means to pioneer!"

Welt: "I think this is the answer every Nameless would choose, right?"

March 7th: "Exactly! This is the shared answer of us Nameless!"

Dan Heng: "Indeed, that's how it is."

Himeko: "I agree."

Stelle: "I object!! I insist on giving a different answer!"

March 7th: "Born with a rebellious bone, are you? Objection overruled!!"

"I say, can you be serious for once!"

"Everyone's on the same page, so why do you have to be special?"

On the train,

March 7th looked at Stelle and felt both exasperated and amused.

"Because I'm a firework unlike any other!"

Stelle stared at March 7th and answered in a very solemn tone.

"A firework unlike any other?"

"I'd say you're more like a will-o'-the-wisp!"

"Alright, alright, stop causing trouble. Be good, okay?"

March 7th looked at Stelle as if she were looking at an idiot.

She couldn't help reaching out and gently patted Stelle on the head.

Black Swan: "Thank you all for your answers."

Black Swan: "To me, this can be called a precious memory."

Black Swan: "I will engrave your answers in my heart! And seal them away within 'Memory.'"

Black Swan expressed her thanks solemnly.

"'Memory'?"

"Could this Miss Black Swan be someone from the Garden of Recollection?"

Welt saw this line of dialogue,

and couldn't help but speculate.

The video continued playing.

Shortly after Stelle woke up,

Pom-Pom walked over to her side.

【Pom-Pom: Passenger Stelle, what's wrong? Wh-why are you suddenly crying?】 Pom-Pom looked at the tear tracks on Stelle's face, a little flustered.

【Stelle: I got stabbed by someone in my dream...】 Stelle said, still shaken.

【Pom-Pom: S-sounds like you had a nightmare, Pom! You just arrived in the Asdana system and already ran into something like this... You'll have to be extra careful. Looks like your resistance to mnestic residue is really weak.】

【Don't mind it, dreams and reality are opposites. While you were asleep, the train had already arrived at Penacony...】 Pom-Pom saw that Stelle looked a bit off and so comforted her.

Stelle: "Boo-hoo, I shed little pearls, how embarrassing."

Stelle looked at herself crying in the video and felt a bit embarrassed.

March 7th: "There, there. Don't cry. You got stabbed by a bad woman, so you got scared."

Huang Quan: ".... I'm really not... a bad woman."

Himeko: "Then Miss Huang Quan, why did you end up stabbing Stelle?"

Huang Quan: "Most likely, it was only to wake her from the dream."

Huang Quan: "I said before that I am not adept at manipulating the dreamscape. So if I truly encountered the scene in the video, apart from this method, I had no other way to wake her."

Huang Quan saw that the people in the livestream still considered her a bad woman,

felt a bit helpless.

Stelle: "Stop talking, I believe she was helping me!"

March 7th: "Huh? Why would you think that?"

Stelle: "Because the way she drew her blade was really cool!"

March 7th: "..."

Brother Dan Heng: "..."

Himeko: "..."

In the video.

【Pom-Pom:... The border prison of back then has now turned into this luxurious hotel. Although Conductor me is also very curious what Penacony looks like now, after all there's no way to get off... you all go and experience it for me.】

Pom-Pom gazed out the car window at the grand hotel entrance,

and spoke a few words to Stelle in a rather wistful tone.

【Pom-Pom: Pack your luggage, you can get off anytime, Pom. Remember to go find Passenger March in the back, she's waiting to set off with you.】 Turning around, Pom-Pom gave Stelle a reminder.

Ying: "Why can't the Conductor get off the train?"

Welt: "Uh... because of some... unspeakable restrictions."

Paimon: "Then Conductor Pom-Pom has to hold down the car alone? That's way too sad!"

Pom-Pom: "Sad? I think it's fine, Pom? Already used to it, Pom."

Pom-Pom: "Besides, isn't there still Passenger Dan Heng keeping me company, Pom?"

Brother Dan Heng: "Yes, I do indeed plan to stay behind on the train."

In the video.

Having received Pom-Pom's instructions, Stelle

began to go look for March 7th.

【Stelle: Is March 7th still packing her luggage...】 On the way, Stelle couldn't help muttering.

【March 7th: Stelle, you're up? How's your preparation going? Uncle Yang and Big Sister Himeko have already gotten off first. I'm here waiting for you so we can set off together.】

【So, shall we go meet up with them now?】 In the train corridor, March 7th saw Stelle arrive and couldn't help urging.
