Chapter 620

~6 min read 1,035 words

Stelle: "Uh... I guess you could say that?"

Stelle: "So that makes Miss Sparkle a Masked Fool with a bottom line after all!"

Sparkle: "Eek, I'm actually sitting at the same table as Sampo?"

Sparkle: "How truly heartbreaking."

Sampo: "Sisters, what do you mean?"

Sampo: "Lookin' down on me, are ya?"

Stelle: "Director Sparkle lookin' down on you is an honor for you!"

Stelle: "Because compared to Director Sparkle, you're not the least bit delightful!"

Stelle: "Oh, except for that Sampo from the trash can world who deserves a beating."

March 7th: "You still can't forget your abstract trash can world."

Stelle: "Seriously though, aren't we really about to leave this time?"

Stelle: "Before we go, shouldn't we pay our respects to those three nameless predecessors?"

Himeko: "I think we will."

Himeko: "Just don't know if it'll actually play out."

Huang Quan: "Heh, Tieernan has finally returned to the homeland he'd been longing for."

Huang Quan: "How wonderful."

Huang Quan: "May he rest in peace forever."

The video continues.

【But before we leave, there's one last thing we need to do.】

After Huang Quan finished speaking,

Himeko's voice suddenly came from behind.

She turned to look,

and found that everyone from the Trailblaze crew had now arrived.

【We're here to say goodbye to the old nameless ones.】

Stelle said to Huang Quan.

【Putting a perfect period to the story of the departed is the best comfort.】

【Go on, they're all here.】

Huang Quan nodded,

then silently stepped aside.

And the Trailblaze crew,

stepping forward a few paces,

arrived before three tombstones.

【Honestly, when I first heard the conductor's request, I was quite surprised.】

【Nameless ones, nameless ones — those who pioneer do good deeds without leaving their names, and so much time has passed. How could one possibly find the whereabouts of those three people in a place as vast as Penacony?】

【But looking at it now... in the Land of Dreams, truly anything is possible.】

March 7th gazed at the three tombstones,

her tone quite wistful.

March 7th: "We were just talking about mourning the three seniors, and here we are right on our heels."

March 7th: "Looks like we're really about to leave..."

March 7th: "For some reason, I still feel a bit wistful and reluctant."

Stelle: "Probably because the impressions left here were too deep."

Stelle: "Land of Dreams..."

Stelle: "I originally thought that name was just an empty, pretty title."

Stelle: "But after seeing everything that happened in Penacony, I've got a new take on that name."

Stelle: "In a way, Penacony isn't perfect, but it really is brimming with countless dreams and miracles."

Furina: "Mm, just like Miss Firefly said earlier."

Furina: "In this Land of Dreams, everything is permitted, everything is possible."

Furina: "We came here with our own purposes, and achieved them in unexpected ways."

Furina: "Sigh, what a romantic world."

Hu Tao: "As the Festival Star carrying the hopes and dreams of countless people, romance is only natural!"

Hu Tao: "Honestly, I really, really want to go see Penacony for myself."

Paimon: "Miss March 7th in the video is bringing up what happened at the start again."

Paimon: "To be fair, Paimon also thought the conductor's request was like fishing a needle out of the sea — totally impossible."

Paimon: "But who would've thought those three nameless seniors were all legendary heroes in Penacony!"

Paimon: "Their deeds, even after the erosion of time, are still firmly remembered by many."

Paimon: "This really surprised Paimon."

Zhong Li: "Though the nameless ones are a group who do good deeds without leaving their names, the deeds of heroes will not be nameless!"

Zhong Li: "They will surely be recorded by history and passed down forever, for posterity to remember."

The video continues.

【History may not preserve the names of the departed, but the stars will witness their footsteps.】

【The first ray of light to arrive in the long night often cannot illuminate anything, for it vanishes in an instant, and the darkness stretches on far too long.】

【But because of it, people will remember this: if something is always meant to shine in the night sky, then after the first star falls... countless more shooting stars will streak across the horizon.】

Brother Dan Heng said, having reached this point,

the members of the Trailblazer raised their glasses in unison.

【Borelkin Tieernan, Lazarina Jane Estella — to you both I raise this toast, pioneers of the Silver Rail—】

【—a toast to the history that is no longer silent, to the fervent and brave journey, and to the road that leads to the stars.】

Stelle: "Seniors, may your journey be a smooth one!"

Stelle: "You will forever be the role models of the Nameless!"

March 7th: "Exactly right — we, the new generation of Nameless, will definitely learn from the pioneering spirit of our seniors!"

March 7th: "Ahem, ahem — seeing this, my mind just wandered off on a tangent for a moment."

March 7th: "Tell me, do you think we might one day also become five tombstones, placed somewhere quiet, mourned and paid respects to by the Nameless who come after us?"

Stelle: "That's way too optimistic!"

Stelle: "What makes you so sure we'd even leave behind tombstones?"

Stelle: "What if our bodies just vanish without a trace?"

March 7th: "???"

Silver Wolf: "Killing me — Stelle, you really know how to talk."

Firefly: "Uh... maybe let's not say things like that?"

Firefly: "It's really too inauspicious."

Stelle: "Haha, just a joke."

Stelle: "If you ask me, we'll definitely all become old immortals in the future — living legends for the world to look up to."

Stelle: "How could we possibly end up as a few graves?"

March 7th: "Now that sounds more like it."

March 7th: "But what the heck is an 'old immortal'?"

March 7th: "This Miss doesn't care how old she gets — she'll always be a beautiful young girl!"

March 7th: "Definitely not an old immortal!"

The video continued.

After bidding farewell to the old Nameless,

the group began to look at a hound-shaped statue placed on the railing beside the tombstones.

That was Gallagher's final legacy.

【This statue... it shouldn't have been here last time, right?】
