Chapter 109

"Strange."

And on the Astral Express, four people can form a Shura field.

After eating and drinking to their fill, with "guests and hosts both happy," it was time for the "sad" moment of parting.

The Astral Express had finished resupplying, and in a while, it would depart and set sail.

Naturally, Asta wouldn't be traveling the sea of stars with the Astral Express.

Standing on the platform, March 7th waved goodbye to Asta repeatedly:

"Station Master Asta, see you next time~"

The others waved as well, watching Asta's figure disappear at the end of the corridor before returning to the train.

As soon as she returned to the train, March 7th walked quickly in front of Bai Bai Xuan, hands on her hips, blocking his path.

With "Stelle" in front and behind, they formed a "sandwich" pincer.

"Asta, right?"

"Little Bai, right?"

"Move, come into the room with me."

After saying that, she and "Stelle" worked together, one on the left and one on the right, pulling Bai Bai Xuan into the room and locking the door with a "click."

Himeko shook her head with a smile, laughing contentedly:

"Young people, they're so energetic."

Two hours later.

"Stelle" finally regained consciousness from her dazed state.

She slowly climbed up, put on her clothes, and looked around, only then realizing she was the only one left in the bedroom.

She stepped out shakily, getting out of bed, afraid of falling to the ground if her legs gave out.

A moment later, "Stelle" realized that most of the fatigue on her body had disappeared.

Only some residual swelling and burning sensations remained, reminding her that everything just now was not a dream.

"Stelle" still remembered.

When March 7th locked the door, a strange ripple swept through the entire room.

Bai Bai Xuan laughed coldly:

"From now on, no sound will get out of this room."

Afterward, she and March 7th took turns doing vocal exercises, hitting high notes until they were hoarse and unable to move.

"Stelle's" mind was racing, and by the time she finished reviewing the whole process, she had already walked out of the bedroom and into the parlor car.

The entire parlor car was empty; under the warm lights, only Himeko sat on the red sofa, flipping through a book and savoring her coffee.

Himeko's coffee, if you only judge it by the scent with your nose and admire its color with your eyes, is impeccable.

As long as you don't drink it, everything is fine.

"You're awake, Stelle."

Himeko closed her book, looked up at the dazed "Stelle," and called her back to her senses with a soft, amused voice.

At the same time, she teased in her heart:

"Young people, they're so energetic."

As a senior who had traveled among the stars for who knows how many years, Himeko naturally couldn't be ignorant of the affairs between men and women.

As long as the whole family didn't have conflicts and didn't let each other down, she didn't care whether it was mutual affection, three-way affection, or N-way affection.

"Stelle" nodded:

"Awake, where are they?"

Himeko replied:

"They went to check the information for the next stop."

"Stelle" walked to Himeko's side and asked softly:

"Where will the next stop be?"

Himeko patiently introduced the upcoming itinerary:

"Our next destination is a very small planet, numbered 'Jarilo-VI'."

"The last time the train went there was thousands of years ago. According to the archives, it was a lush, very beautiful planet."

"However, long years have passed... perhaps it has already undergone earth-shaking changes."

Thousands of years of time are but a fleeting moment to the universe and the galaxy.

But for a planet, for a civilization, that is an incredibly long time.

Even for the long-lived Luofu Luofu Xianzhou people, several generations might have passed.

Let alone short-lived species.

Thousands of years have passed, enough for several dynasties to change and two or three hundred generations to pass through the world.

"Stelle" nodded.

The time for departure was near, and Little Bai and March 7th would definitely be back soon, so it would be better to just ask them.

So, she sat on the sofa, changed into a comfortable position, and waited for departure.

And so, sleepiness and fatigue surged like a tide.

In a trance, she saw a giant whale glowing all over, swimming in space.

"Universe..."

"Galaxy train..."

"Aeon..."

"Have I been dragged into some sci-fi movie?"

"This thing called a Stellaron inside my body..."

Her thoughts were as messy as seaweed, drifting and spreading without boundaries.

Suddenly, a big face appeared before her eyes.

"Stelle" instantly woke up.

She saw March 7th smiling and asking: "Are you catching stars?"

Her eyes were narrowed into two crescents, showing no signs of fatigue at all.

Bai Bai Xuan stood beside her, smiling as he watched "Stelle."

She saw the pink-haired girl spin around in front of "Stelle," sit down swaying, and incidentally place Bai Bai Xuan between herself and "Stelle."

"Hee hee, this—I've done it too."

"But—I wasn't catching stars—but a lamp."

"When I first woke up from the ice, I opened my eyes and saw a cluster of starlight—so I instinctively reached out, but it was just the ceiling light of the cabin."

"Stelle" tilted her head:

"Everyone surrounding you and watching?"

She looked at Bai Bai Xuan on the side, but saw him shake his head, "I wasn't on the train back then."

March 7th laughed "hee hee" twice, grabbed the Bai Bai Xuan beside her, and recalled calmly:

"That's right, it was like they were observing some strange cosmic creature—but you can't blame them, after all, no one knew what my background was."

"Yeah, I was sealed in a big block of ice before, drifting in the universe. It was the train that salvaged me."

"Sister Himeko, Mr. Welt, and... what's-his-name, thought of a way to melt the ice, and that's how they saved me."

"Stelle" pondered for a moment:

"Do you still remember things from before?"

March 7th shook her head:

"I don't remember anything at all."

"Just like I said before, I've forgotten everything about my past."

"Who I am, what I was called, where I came from... I've forgotten all of that completely. Even the name 'March 7th' was just to commemorate the date I was awakened."

"So I'm hanging around on the train, following it station by station, maybe I'll find my past."

"Of course, if the star-destroying battleship that Station Master Asta mentioned arrives, we can take that too!"

"Oh my, why talk about this, it's a mood killer."
