Chapter 528: Astral Express

The video continues.

【Wake up.... wake up....】

【... Hey, Stelle! Stop sleeping, the sun's shining on your butt—】

Stelle was lying in the Dream-Diving Pool inside the room,

drowsily hearing the loud shouts from outside the door.

So, with a somewhat heavy head,

she went to open the door.

【Are you okay? Can you hear me talking?】

【I didn't hear a single sound from the room, I was scared to death.】

March 7th looked at Stelle, whose eyes were a bit blank,

acting very nervous.

【This conversation feels so familiar...】

Stelle: "Uh.... this conversation, haven't I heard it once before??"

Stelle: "March, last time I woke up in Taii's Dream, didn't you call me the same way??"

March 7th: "Ah, um... seems about right?"

Furina: "Oh no, could it be that she's still stuck in a dream?!"

Miss Qingque: "Not that bad, probably just a coincidence."

The video continues.

【What are you talking about, are you half-asleep.. The Order's sweet dream is already over.】

【Although a whole day has already passed, thinking back on it still makes me break out in cold sweat—the Astral Express's pioneering journey almost came to an end here in Penacony...】

【You're carefree, alright, still able to sleep soundly.】

【But I've been left with psychological trauma; last night I didn't even dare close my eyes, afraid that once I fell asleep I'd never wake up again.】

Stelle: "Sleep soundly?"

Stelle: "I was in a coma, okay."

Stelle: "It's really strange, why is it always me who wakes up last?"

March 7th: "Hehe, whose fault is it that your tolerance for Mnestite is weak."

Furina: "Aiya, seeing Miss March 7th looking so shaken, I really can relate."

Furina: "At first, watching this video, I thought it was just a pleasant, warm vacation video."

Furina: "But as the plot slowly developed, my heart kept hanging in suspense!"

Furina: "Even until now, I still haven't fully let it down!"

Hu Tao: "Looks like it's really about to end, we can put our hearts down."

March 7th: "I'm afraid it really hasn't ended; the follow-up matters in Penacony will probably still need to be resolved."

Lumine: "Does everyone still remember... the Harmony Grand Concert?"

Lumine: "The guests who came to Penacony, their original purpose was all to attend the Harmony Grand Concert, right?"

Lumine: "After the incident, will this ceremony still be held?"

Gui Naifeng: "Such an important celebration, they probably wouldn't just cancel it on a whim?"

Gui Naifeng: "Let's see how the Family spins it."

Pai 817 Meng: "There are still so many things that need to be done..."

Paimon: "Then it looks like the Penacony story won't be ending anytime soon."

Paimon: "I just hope everything goes smoothly from here on out, and no more scary accidents happen."

The video continues.

【You'll get dark circles.】

Hearing that March 7th was so scared she didn't dare sleep,

Stelle teased.

【This young lady is born beautiful, I definitely won't get dark circles!】

【While you were asleep, the Stellaron has already been sealed.】

【The ordinary citizens of Penacony are completely unaware of what happened; they just feel their memories are a bit fuzzy, as if a segment had been drained away.】

【The Family's official statement is that the Harmony Grand Concert was attacked by a Stellaron of unknown origin and had to be suspended—after all, the Order's affairs can't exactly be brought out into the open, can they?】

Boothill: "Whew, good lord, that's hilarious!"

Boothill: "What an excuse, good, really good!"

Boothill: "Son of a—blaming it all on the Stellaron, huh?"

Boothill: "Gotta hand it to the Family!"

Zhong Li: "By general reason, pushing everything onto the Stellaron is indeed a good excuse."

Miss Sushang: "As expected of the Family, they're quite skilled at finding excuses."

Dr. Ratio: "Of unknown origin.... heh, it's a wonder they have the nerve to say that."

Dr. Ratio: "I dare bet that the heads of these major families basically all know the secrets of the Stellaron."

Topaz: "Everyone's just harboring their own schemes."

Topaz: "Who doesn't have their own calculations in mind?"

Welt: "Setting everything else aside, since the Stellaron has been sealed, that's a great thing."

March 7th: "Right, at the very least, Penacony won't have to worry about crises caused by the Stellaron in the future."

Stelle: "Speaking of which, our fate with Stellaron is way too close, isn't it?"

Stelle: "After these few stops, we really do run into Stellaron everywhere we go."

March 7th: "Yeah... the Stellaron in Belobog, the Stellaron in Luo Fu, and now the Stellaron in Penacony."

March 7th: "Logically speaking, we won't run into another Stellaron at the next stop, right??"

Miss Qingque: "What's there to fear? Just let Stelle eat them all, problem solved!"

Stelle: "Qingque, what do you take me for, some kind of Stellaron devourer?"

Paimon: "Stellaron are so scary — they bring disasters wherever they go."

Paimon: "I hope Teyvat never gets a Stellaron!"

The video continues.

【Now, the four great families other than the Oak family are doing their best to quell the aftermath.】

【The Astral Express crew has also been invited to sit aboard the family's Sunstone, attending the important talks as witnesses.】

【Now it's just you who's missing — hurry up and get ready.】

【Once you're set, let's head out!】

March 7th keeps on talking.

Topaz: "Looks like the Oak family is done for this time."

Furina: "Then with the Oak family fallen, which family is calling the shots now?"

Jade: "Heh, naturally the owner of this Sunstone."

Hu Tao: "Sunstone?"

Hu Tao: "What kind of thing is that?"

Gui Naifen: "I'm guessing, a luxury cruise ship?"

Jade: "Mm, more or less."

Stelle: "But what does the family want us over there for?"

Stelle: "Don't tell me they want us to clean up their mess?"

Stelle: "Good grief, they're really treating us like hired tools?"
