The Herta automaton's calm tone made everyone sigh regretfully, leaving them deeply disappointed.
"I think we should be glad she didn't switch to Combat Mode. I don't want to get spun around in circles."
"And if such a nice room got wrecked, Conductor Pom-Pom would be very angry. After all, he put a lot of effort into decorating this place."
March 7th hurriedly said, and everyone nodded at her words.
"Alright, everyone's tired today. Let's just go take a bath."
Theresa said, already eager to explore her own body~
"Come on, come on, let's go together!"
"Stelle, are you coming?"
March 7th asked excitedly, and Stelle nodded eagerly again and again.
"Huh?"
Now it was Theresa's turn to be confused.
"What do you mean, 'huh'? It's perfectly normal for girls to bathe together. Don't tell me you always bathe alone, Theresa?"
March 7th asked in confusion as she prepared to leave the room and fetch a change of pajamas from her own room.
"Hehe, count me in too~"
Stelle immediately cried out excitedly.
"Mm, alright then."
Theresa said with a slight blush. After all, she no longer had little Kun Kun, so there was no real reason to be afraid. Her body was that of a girl now; everything that should be there was there, and everything that should not be there was still absent.
As for whether she would get so excited that she had a nosebleed like those anime protagonists, she figured she probably would not. After all, she had not watched all those adult videos for nothing.
She had developed an unyielding heart!
So Theresa took the pajamas March 7th had sponsored her, since she did not have any of her own yet and would buy some once they reached a new place. Stelle also took a pair of March 7th's pajamas. Other than being slightly taller than March 7th and having a larger bust, there was not much difference between them.
{Stelle was really well-endowed; it was just hidden by her jacket.}
The three girls entered the washroom with anticipation and embarrassment. The Herta Space Station System in Theresa's mind shrieked excitedly, but Theresa remained calm. It was not even human anymore, so what did she have to fear?
The three of them then went through a wonderful bathing experience. Theresa had expected Stelle to be the one speeding ahead, but unexpectedly, it was March 7th who crashed after flooring it. As for the incredibly suggestive process, it would not be described, or things might get dangerous.
In short, when the three emerged, all of them were blushing shyly, their beautiful eyes misty. Stelle wore an expression that said she had learned something.
"You idiot, Stelle! You're already so big yourself, yet you used your mouth. It felt so weird!"
March 7th said with a red face, giving Stelle a slap.
Stelle simply grinned foolishly.
Theresa also smiled with a blush, because she had done some interesting things that could not be described either.
As for the Herta Space Station System, it had been so stimulated that it crashed. Theresa could not be bothered with it. What surprised her was that, despite all its dirty talk, it was unexpectedly innocent?
The rest of the time was spent with the three of them helping one another dry their long hair and chatting about topics between girls.
Soon, everyone lay down on the bed to rest. Theresa discovered in astonishment that she had somehow become March 7th and Stelle's body pillow?
The Herta automaton had long since slipped out to help Conductor Pom-Pom clean up. Pom-Pom was very satisfied with this. Eventually, everyone returned to their rooms to rest, and Pam went back to the driver's cabin as well.
The train drifted through space, protected by the blessing of Trailblaze Power from any outside intrusion.
Nothing happened through the night. Theresa woke up because Face Wash was suffocating her. One soft ball pressed against her left cheek and another against her right, squeezing her little face. Helpless, she reached out and grabbed at them, waking March 7th and Stelle. The three sleepily brushed their teeth, washed their faces, and got dressed. Theresa changed back into her Stardust Symphony formal attire as well. Since it was a conceptual outfit, she only had to think of it to put it on, saving time on dressing.
"Hey, hey, everyone, get up! Pam has prepared breakfast for you. Today's breakfast is preserved egg and lean pork congee with soy milk. Two chicken eggs each, too."
Pam's voice came through the room's broadcast system. Everyone immediately went to the train's main hall to enjoy breakfast. Himeko smiled and shared her coffee with Theresa. The two of them happily drank the ultra-concentrated coffee together. Stelle curiously drank a cup, then wailed, clutched her stomach, and ran back to her room to clear out her inventory.
"Rest for half an hour after this so everyone can digest their food. By the way, have you decided who will get off the train to explore?"
Pam asked after seeing that everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.
Welt and Himeko said they wanted the younger ones to go down for a walk, and also let Stelle see more of the world.
"With Theresa there, we're at ease. As long as she doesn't do anything foolish. Dan Heng, March 7th, keep an eye on her. Stelle, stay with everyone and do not act alone under any circumstances."
Welt said as he assigned everyone their tasks.
The train was about to begin its warp.
All passengers, please take your seats.
Following Pam's announcement, everyone sat down and waited for the train to warp. March 7th excitedly crouched in a horse stance, and Stelle curiously followed her lead and sat down as well.
As the train turned pale blue, the warp began. The train tore through the barrier of space and leaped to a star system hundreds of light-years away.
Stellar Core fluctuations detected. This stop has been extended indefinitely.
Pam's surprised voice came through the broadcast.
Splat! *2
As expected, March 7th and Stelle fell onto the floor with two splats.
"Is that Jarilo-VI?" Himeko exclaimed in surprise at the ice-and-snow-covered Jarilo-VI.
"That's correct. I searched the database. Jarilo-VI used to be a lush green planet. Perhaps its current state is related to the Stellar Core."
Dan Heng said solemnly as he looked at the planet outside the window.
"It's hard to say how serious the Stellar Core issue is. If you run into any problems, you can ask us through the terminal. I've already added Theresa and Stelle to the group chat."
Welt said as he looked at the somewhat concerned group.
"Everyone must be careful on this trip. Theresa, I'll leave them to you."
Himeko said worriedly as she looked at Theresa. Theresa nodded. After all, she had smashed the Doomsday Beast to pieces, so there was no need to worry too much about a Stellar Core.
"I have a question. How are we supposed to get down there? Do we just jump?"
Stelle asked blankly. Theresa also looked curiously toward Himeko and Welt, since this was her first time undertaking a Trailblaze expedition.
"Here's how it works. Conductor Pom-Pom can teleport everyone to a suitable location. After the lesson last time, we should avoid teleporting directly into someone's city, so we don't cause more trouble. Like our March 7th did."
Dan Heng calmly explained, taking the opportunity to tease March 7th.
"Hehe, it's not like I wanted that to happen~"
March 7th said with an embarrassed laugh.
Beginning teleportation.
Following Pam's voice, golden Trailblaze light emerged around March 7th, Dan Heng, Stelle, and Theresa. Then their figures vanished from the train.
Himeko and Welt watched them disappear.
"Welt, this is the first time I've seen you so at ease. Was that fight against the Doomsday Beast not even her full strength?"
Himeko asked curiously, looking at Welt, who sat calmly on the sofa.
"Of course not. Not to mention that she is now an Envoy of Joy, making her the strongest of the Stellaron Hunters aboard the train. And in my homeland, she was an Academy Head who managed an academy. Looking after little March and Stelle will not be a problem for her."
Welt explained to Himeko with a smile.
