Chapter 38: Stelle

Stelle: "Although I don't know what accident caused such a dangerous Stellaron to end up inside Young Lady Xing."

Stelle: "Young Lady Xing is innocent!"

Paimon: "Stelle is right—Young Lady Xing is a victim too!"

Zhong Li: "Indeed, by ordinary reason, she should not be treated unjustly."

Zhong Li: "But even so, there are indeed risks here that cannot be ignored."

Venti: "Ehe, haven't plenty of big shots already offered to vouch for her?"

Venti: "So I think her danger level shouldn't really be that high, right?"

March 7th: "Mm-hmm, exactly!"

March 7th: "I sleep next to her every day, and I haven't lost any arms or legs or anything!"

Xing: "Boo-hoo, March, cuddles~"

March 7th: "Aiya, stop being so clingy with me!"

Himeko: "Yes, Xing has been living with everyone on the Astral Express for quite a while now, and not a single abnormality has appeared."

Welt: "The Astral Express crew is capable of controlling the Stellaron inside her, so there's no need for everyone to worry too much."

Sampo: "Right, right, it's just one little Stellaron—what's everyone so scared of?"

Sampo: "Our girl Xing is so capable, how could she not keep a tiny Stellaron in check?"

Xing: "Flattery won't work—I really can't keep it in check."

Sampo: "..."

"Oh come on, sis, I was sticking up for you here."

"Can't you tell?"

"And you actually went and talked back to me!"

Sampo looked at Xing's message, a bit speechless.

General Jing Yuan: "Very well, since so many people are willing to vouch for Xing, that alone says enough."

General Jing Yuan: "Everyone should stop clinging to this matter."

Herta: "Exactly—don't you dare scare my tool of a worker."

Herta: "If something happens to her from the fright, I won't be able to find such excellent experimental material again."

Herta: "When that time comes, each and every one of you will have to compensate me for my academic losses!"

Dr. Ratio: "Mm... if we were to ruin the famous Ms. Herta's academic research, even if us ordinary folk sold ourselves into slavery, it wouldn't be enough to repay her."

Dr. Ratio: "So, if you don't want to become a slave, let's just let this matter rest for now."

Firefly: "Agreed!!"

Firefly: "Everyone should discuss something else!"

Everyone chimed in one after another, and soon the matter of the Stellaron hidden inside Xing was no longer brought up.

"Good grief, you've got some nerve!"

"So many people are actually willing to speak up for you."

"And a lot of them are even complete strangers."

On the train,

March 7th looked at the barrage of comments in the livestream,

feeling a touch of emotion.

"Naturally—have a look at who I am."

"With my personal charm, even if the Beauty of the Cosmos came in person, she'd only be evenly matched with me."

Xing's face was full of smugness, convinced it was all the fault of her damnable charm.

"Tell you you're fat and you start panting, huh?"

"You even dare compare yourself to the Beauty of the Cosmos now."

"Hehe, believe it or not, I'm sending that line of yours right to Argenti."

"What do you think—will he come all the way here just to beat the stuffing out of you?"

March 7th pulled out her phone and said to Xing with a mischievous grin.

"Argenti?"

"What a joke!"

"He's my brother in all but blood, my dear friend of shared ideals!"

"How could he possibly dare to hit me?"

"Even if he really did dare to hit me, I still wouldn't be afraid!"

"Because I'll pick up my bat and let him know—"

"Rules are made to be broken!"

The video continued to play.

【March 7th: Look, why are so many people gathered at the front desk? Don't tell me we ran into trouble again right after getting off the train...】

March 7th saw Xing come up beside her,

and pointed at the front desk, saying to Xing.

Xing took a look, and immediately led March 7th over.

【Front Desk Clerk: I'm sorry, but our system really doesn't have the name you mentioned...】

【Himeko: But the message the Astral Express received clearly stated that rooms had been reserved for us—please check again.】

【Front Desk Clerk: Let me look that up for you, one moment please...】

【The Astral Express has four Platinum Rooms in total... respectively for Mr. Walter Yang, Ms. Himeko, Ms. March 7th, and... Mr. Dan Heng!】

【Indeed, there are only the reservation records for the four people above.】

After arriving at the front desk, Stelle found Himeko checking the room information with the receptionist.

But after checking and rechecking, they discovered there was no room for her.

Stelle: "What do you mean? So I'm the extra one?"

Stelle: "Wuwuwu, so this home has no place for me, that really makes me so sad! (crying. jpg)"

March 7th: "Ah, this... maybe the hotel made a mistake?"

March 7th: "How could we possibly not book a room for you?"

Walter: ".... Perhaps... we really did forget to book a room for her."

Stelle: "???"

Stelle: "So there's really no share for me, huh??"

Stelle: "I'm tired, let it all be destroyed."

In the video.

【Stelle: Yes, I am Mr. Dan Heng.】 Hearing there was no room for herself, Stelle thought it over and decided to impersonate Brother Dan Heng, to take the magpie's nest, and directly occupy his room.

However, the Young Lady receptionist was no fool and naturally would not believe it.

【Walter: Dan Heng... I understand now, no wonder Stelle's name isn't here. When we replied to the family, she had not yet boarded the Express.】 Walter paused for a moment, recalling how this had come about.

【Walter: How about this? The itinerary of our companion Dan Heng has changed at the last minute and he is unable to check in. Could you trouble you to transfer the room reserved for him to this child? The headcount also matches up.】
