{This chapter's fun is here~}
{By the way, a question for you lovely readers: do you prefer the original game's plot, or a plot that roughly follows the game but is actually written by the author? If the author writes the plot, the pacing might be a bit faster. But if it follows the original game's plot, I'm worried you'll find it boring.}
{So please leave your feedback here later, okay?}
The group leisurely made their way to the Everlasting Mechanical House Gepard had mentioned, but there was no outdoor performance being held outside. Instead, several men and women with silly grins were staring obsessively into the mechanical house.
"Hehe, Lady Serval~"
A woman lay against the window of the mechanical house, giggling excitedly.
"Passionate, unrestrained rock! Why hasn't it started today?!"
Some excited men hummed rock music as they wandered around, muttering eagerly to themselves.
"This is the Everlasting Mechanical House, right? Didn't Gepard say there would be outdoor performances here?"
March 7th looked at the mechanical house and asked in confusion.
"What he actually said was that there would occasionally be performances. You subconsciously ignored the two most important words: 'occasionally.'"
Dan Heng reminded March 7th.
"Darn it, I was really looking forward to it!"
March 7th cried helplessly.
"By the way, look over here. I've been curious about that device glowing red. Is it a heater? But shouldn't heaters be kept indoors?"
"Why are they placed outside? Normally, shouldn't heating equipment be installed indoors?"
Stelle asked the group in confusion.
"Yeah, I was wondering that too! Don't tell me they think placing heaters around the city is enough to ward off the Great Cold?"
"In my opinion, the City Builders shouldn't be that naive, right?"
March 7th asked in puzzlement as well.
At that moment, Theresa and Dan Heng noticed a fashionable woman slowly approaching.
"Haha, I can't believe you managed to talk about a broken heater for so long."
A handsome woman with long golden hair streaked with blue and sea-blue eyes slowly approached. Her outfit was filled with rock music elements.
Gepard's older sister and Lingbao's Big Sister: Serval
"Wow, what a handsome big sister!"
March 7th shouted excitedly as she looked at the woman.
"A broken heater?"
Stelle asked doubtfully.
"Yep. Just touch it and you'll know. It's ice-cold. I was just about to fix it."
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Serval, and I'm the owner of this Everlasting Mechanical House."
"If you have any broken machines, you can come find me. Though I can't guarantee I'll be interested in fixing them~"
"After all, when it comes to repairing things... I prefer playing rock music~"
The handsome blonde woman smiled at Stelle. She then sized up the group: the silly yet innocent March 7th, the calm but intensely wary Dan Heng, the bewildered and lost Stelle, and Theresa, the world's number one cutie!
"No, no, we're just curious about this heater!"
March 7th explained to Serval with her clear, wise eyes wide open.
"Huh? Curious about a heater? Isn't this just an ordinary heater powered by Geodough? You can find these things everywhere."
Serval looked at the group in confusion.
"We just arrived here, so we're curious about everything."
Stelle said frankly.
"Just arrived? Oh~ I get it. I heard some Silvermane Guards with rather loose lips mention that this city had unusually welcomed several visitors, and that you even met Cocolia."
"They were talking about you, weren't they? After all, I've never seen any of you before."
"What rare guests! Come on, come inside and have a seat. Have a good chat with your big sister here. I'm quite curious about you too~"
Serval looked the group over, nodded, and smiled excitedly.
She then unlocked the door and led everyone into the mechanical house. Inside were all sorts of mechanical gadgets, along with some old-fashioned wall clocks ticking away as they ran.
Smiling, Serval led the Stellaron Hunters, who were looking all around the mechanical house, to sit beside a table.
"By the way, what would you like to drink? I have tea, plain water, and coffee."
Serval asked with a smile. Theresa in particular caught her attention, since it was the first time she had seen someone so beautiful and adorable, not to mention so lavishly dressed.
"Plain water for me."
Dan Heng said. He was still somewhat traumatized by coffee.
"Mm, same for me."
March 7th made the same choice as Dan Heng.
"I'll have coffee."
Theresa said instinctively. After all, she used to be a homebody and loved drinking beverages.
"Same here!"
Stelle said cheerfully.
"Sure, wait a moment."
"My mechanical house finally has some proper guests."
Serval smiled as she busied herself, teasing them.
"Hm? Are there improper ones too?"
March 7th asked strangely.
"How could there not be? Don't even get me started on those rabid fans. They honestly scare me. What normal person lies outside the window and stares at me without blinking? It's incredibly startling, okay?! I'm just reasonably good at playing rock music, that's all~"
Serval glanced awkwardly at the people outside as she complained. It was clear that they had truly frightened her quite badly before.
"Ahaha, here comes the coffee and plain water."
Serval set two cups of plain water and three cups of coffee on the table with a smile. She handed the plain water to March 7th and Dan Heng. Serval did not quite understand the frightened expressions they had shown earlier. Wasn't coffee perfectly normal?
"Here you go. Oh, right, I forgot to ask our rare guests' names. How rude of me."
Serval smiled as she handed coffee to Theresa and Stelle, chiding herself apologetically.
"Thank you, Big Sister Serval. My name is Theresa~"
Theresa accepted the coffee, placed it in front of herself, and smiled sweetly.
"My name is Stelle."
Stelle accepted the coffee and replied politely as well.
"My name is Dan Heng, Miss Serval."
Dan Heng said calmly to Serval.
"Hello, handsome Big Sister Serval! My name is March 7th!"
March 7th greeted her with a smile. Serval smiled and sat down, looking at the group.
"By the way, may I ask how you happened to come here?"
Serval slowly sipped her coffee and asked the group curiously.
"Garrison Officer Gepard told us about it. He said there might be an outdoor concert here, but it seems we came at the wrong time and missed it."
Theresa sipped the mild coffee as well and explained to Serval with some regret.
She felt that this coffee was a little weak.
Says the person who drinks bitter melon juice.
The Herta Space Station System, as usual, mocked Theresa.
{By the way, Herta Space Station System, can you sell anything here?}
Theresa suddenly remembered the Herta Space Station System's most important function and hurriedly asked in her heart.
That's right! As long as you have Joy Points, I can sell anything—even Aha's mask!
The Herta Space Station System immediately shouted excitedly upon hearing Theresa's question. Its sales were finally coming!
That's right, it wanted to take human form, but the prerequisite was achieving ten million Joy Points in sales. This was only the first step!
The author who posts daily memes seemed to be like this: when someone grew accustomed to loneliness, others thought they were nuts.
