Chapter 605

【Topaz: I'm counting on everyone—I'm heading to take over the evacuation team now.】

【Topaz: Good luck, everyone.】

Stelle: "Not even the company's professionals could find it?"

Stelle: "This really is a tough one!"

March 7th: "All together now, that's over eight hundred dolls."

March 7th: "Still no sign of the bomb."

March 7th: "Could it really be that much of a coincidence?"

March 7th: "Don't tell me... this is just a bluff?"

March 7th: "There's actually no bomb at all?"

Lumine: "I think there is one..."

Lumine: "Do you all remember?"

Lumine: "Miss Firefly said... the script isn't over yet..."

Paimon: "Huh?!"

Paimon: "You mean—!"

Firefly: "Mm... my final script, or rather, my last death."

Firefly: "Perhaps it will come to pass right here."

Firefly: "But don't worry..."

Firefly: "Behind death, it may well be rebirth."

Firefly: "I think... this might also be an opportunity?"

Furina: "But it could also be an eternal fall from which there's no return!"

Mavuika: "A firefly throwing itself into the flame, walking toward death to be reborn."

Mavuika: "I believe that even if the road ahead is clearly a dead end, Miss Firefly's will and conviction, as brilliant and dazzling as a sacred flame, will carry her forward without a second thought."

Paimon: "Uh..."

Paimon: "And who is this now?"

Paimon: "Another big-shot from some major faction in the universe?"

Mualani: "Pfft!"

Mualani: "Hahaha, now this is one family not recognizing another!"

Lumine: "What do you mean?"

Lumine: "Oh, I think I get it!"

Lumine: "You're from Teyvat too?"

Mavuika: "That's right, we're from Natlan."

Mavuika: "Natlan people almost never go out, so it's normal you've never heard of us."

Miss Qingque: "I knew it—there are plenty of lurkers in here too."

Silver Wolf: "Not surprising. Even in a group of several thousand, isn't there still more than half lurking in silence, just staring at the screen?"

Mavuika: "Haha, it's not that we didn't want to talk."

Mavuika: "It's just that there's been some unrest lately that absolutely had to be dealt with."

Mavuika: "So we didn't get a chance to speak—please understand."

Zhong Li: "Mm... Natlan is a nation of war, needing to resist the Abyss's invasion every moment of every day."

Zhong Li: "Understandable."

Stelle: "Tsk tsk tsk, sounds like you're in deep waters and scorching fires!"

Stelle: "Desperately in need of a hero like me to save the world!"

March 7th: "The problem is, we can't get there... we just can't get there at all!"

March 7th: "From what I've heard, Teyvat's strength isn't exactly weak."

March 7th: "So why can't they even break out of their own planet?"

March 7th: "If you lot could launch into the universe, you might actually be discovered."

Lumine: "That's a long story..."

Lumine: "Anyway, Teyvat seems to be shrouded by some enormous web of conspiracy."

Lumine: "Not only can't the people of Teyvat get out, even I, a traveler, am trapped here!"

Silver Wolf: "Interesting... is it possible Teyvat also has a Stellaron?"

Venti: "Ah, well..."

Venti: "Probably... not, right?"

Mavuika: "Although I've learned about the existence of Stellarons from the videos."

Mavuika: "What form they actually take, I still don't quite understand."

Mavuika: "But then again, who knows... could the Abyss itself be a Stellaron?"

Mavuika: "In any case, the Abyss's power is bizarre and vast beyond measure—enough to destroy the world."

Mavuika: "Our nation has been fighting against it all along."

Stelle: "Able to destroy Teyvat—sounds like it has a few shades of a Stellaron."

Stelle: "Oh, I get it!"

Stelle: "The reason the people of Teyvat can't get out might be that they're sealed in by a Stellaron?"

Stelle: "After all, those Stellaron things are first-rate at blocking the way!"

Stelle: "If the train jumps a few more times, maybe we'll spot something off."

Stelle: "For now... all I can do is pray for you!"

Stelle: "Hope you can hold on!"

Mavuika: "Haha, thank you very much for the blessing, Miss Stelle."

The video continues.

Stelle wandered around in circles for a while,

and found the fifth doll.

【Hello, I am a bomb!】

【It'll be some time before I explode, you can wander off somewhere else first!】

Boothill: "Well I'll be damned, the moment that doll opened its mouth, I just couldn't hold it in!"

Boothill: "I say, are all of the Fool's dolls this abstract?"

Aventurine: "Friend, if it weren't abstract, would it be a Fool's doll?"

March 7th: "I suggest Sparkle go see Dr. Edward, get her mental state checked."

Stelle: "Director Sparkle's mental state seems pretty fine, doesn't it?"

Stelle: "Just keep it up."

Miss Qingque: "Tch, get a number for Stelle too!"

Hu Tao: "This doll says it's a bomb."

Hu Tao: "Could it be real?"

Maraini: "I think it's fake."

Maraini: "This has to be a smokescreen too!"

The video continues.

【Alright then, I'll wander off somewhere else.】

Stelle looked at the doll,

and nodded compliantly.

【Of course, no problem!】

【But if you don't want to go too far, I can also sing you a soft, soothing song, so you won't be bored!】

【Now playing "Never Give Up, Never Abandon," from Apsolon XII galaxy pop superstar Esricli...】

【... Oh wait, the Penacony families didn't buy the rights to this song, so it can't be played here.】

【How about this, I'll recite a piece for you instead — please enjoy the poetry recitation "Never Give Up, Never Abandon"!】

Stelle: "???"
