The Unseen Presence in Penacony.

After all, she was the only one who had ever done this to Gepard.

No one has ever done this to Lin Shuang before...

This is the first time this has happened today.

"... It's okay, they're all girls anyway."

"Hmm..."

Hearing this on March 7th, he became even more embarrassed.

It's fine to say that to Himeko, but that's Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang already had a somewhat ambiguous relationship with that older sister named Acheron; they didn't seem like ordinary best friends.

And Xing keeps spouting nonsense like he's marrying Lin Shuang, or that Lin Shuang is his wife.

It's highly likely that Lin Shuang is that kind of person!

Saying things like "they're all girls anyway" is not the same thing!

And this time, he was the one who ripped off the other person's clothes.

More importantly!!

Just before March 7th, Mingming was still thinking about how to give Xing some support.

Is this how you help your teammates?

She helps the person she likes to get into her bed.

While they were sleeping at night, they ripped off their clothes, and then first thing in the morning, they came to wash their face...

Just thinking about these things...

I was so shy on March 7th that my brain was practically spinning.

"No, Xing absolutely cannot know about this! Luckily, she wasn't on the Train today."

March 7th muttered softly from behind.

"Luckily, Lin Shuang didn't board the Train... otherwise we would have been incredibly embarrassed--"

Lin Shuang, who was in front, had excellent hearing. Although she spoke softly, there was no noise interference, so she could hear everything that March 7th said clearly.

Lin Shuang just felt it was better not to listen.

What kind of talk is that?

It's as if you did something special between March 7th and the stars...

Furthermore, Xing and I are not a couple!

Xing was just thinking it was fun, why is he joining in the commotion on March 7th?

Lin Shuang really wanted to turn around and complain right now.

But she was too embarrassed to admit that she had heard everything her daughter was saying to herself.

And I'm sorry.

I essentially boarded the Train last night.

We're just waiting for Himeko to announce it at the right time.

Although March 7th is very easygoing.

But let's not make things any more awkward for her right now.

Lin Shuang buttoned up her clothes, turned her head and glanced at March 7th, whose face was still flushed.

There was absolutely no sign of him calming down.

As for her boarding the train, let's wait until she calms down before having Himeko relay the message.

That would probably be better.

Thinking this way.

Lin Shuang stood up and walked into the bathroom in front of March 7th.

When we came out...

Lin Shuang had already changed into her own clothes and washed up, taking care of herself.

On March 7th, she changed into her usual clothes.

His expression no longer looked as red as before.

Are you ready?

Although her face was still a little flushed, she seemed to have recovered.

Um...

If only March 7th's gaze hadn't occasionally drifted towards Lin Shuang's chest.

"It doesn't look that big, so why is it so..."

March 7th turned his back and raised his hand to gesture on his chest.

A sense of frustration immediately arose.

Lin Shuang usually seems quite ordinary, but who knew what would happen after she actually took action this morning?

That's incredibly amazing.

This is outrageous!

Who is so good at hiding their true nature?

Ignoring the blow that March 7th was dealt, Lin Shuang left the room first.

They happened to run into Paimon was passing by.

Good morning, Conductor.

"Oh, Lin Shuang, good morning! I've already heard that you're also boarding the Star Rail Express."

"Has Himeko already told the Conductor?"

"Yes, that's perfect. I need to go prepare breakfast. Lin Shuang, please go to the restaurant to rest!"

Paimon nodded, with an expression that seemed perfectly natural.

Seeing this, Lin Shuang perked up and took the initiative to say:

"How about I help out too? Just to let the others know."

"Can Lin Shuang cook too? Then I'll trouble you!"

Paimon was open to all comers, and when Lin Shuang volunteered, she readily agreed.

He enthusiastically led Lin Shuang to the kitchen.

On the other side--

The restaurant on the Star Rail Express.

When March 7th arrived at the restaurant, he found that not only Dan Heng was there.

Even Xing returned to the Train.

This startled March 7th.

She was just thinking how lucky Xing wasn't on the Train, so she wouldn't know what had just happened.

I turned my head and found Xing had somehow appeared there.

March 7th, clutching his rapidly beating heart, shouted:

"Huh?! Dan Heng is one thing, but why is Xing back at this time?!"

"..."

Dan Heng glanced helplessly at March 7th.

Xing, however, puffed out his chest proudly and said:

"Himeko left me a message last night saying she had something important to announce this morning and asked if I was free to come back. I saw the message this morning and came back immediately."

Dan Heng nodded in agreement.

"Himeko also messaged me, so I came over."

"Important matter? Does Uncle Yang know what it is?"

March 7th tilted her head, wondering if she hadn't seen a message from Himeko when she checked her phone.

Welt was watching the interstellar news nearby, shook his head when he heard March 7th's words:

"Himeko hasn't told me yet."

"Oh..."

On March 7th, she sat down in her familiar seat and suddenly asked:

"Xing, have you seen Lin Shuang? Does she not know where the restaurant is?"

"Lin Shuang? She's on the Train?"

Xing raised her head, blinked, and stared at March 7th, but March 7th sighed:

"You didn't see it... Did it get lost? I'll send it a message to ask."

Just then, Himeko walked in carrying coffee, followed by Paimon and Lin Shuang pushing a food cart.

"Passengers, breakfast is served!"

"Whoosh~ Ah, Lin Shuang, I thought you were lost. Turns out you were looking for Paimon."

On March 7th, upon seeing Lin Shuang, he happily waved and invited her to sit between himself and Xing.

Himeko then casually placed a cup of coffee in front of Lin Shuang.

"Thank you Himeko."

"We don't need to use honorifics anymore, from today onwards, we're considered partners."

Himeko chuckled and pointed out the problem with how Lin Shuang was addressed.

March 7th and Xing, who were standing to the side, were stunned for a moment.

"What?!"

March 7th abruptly stood up from the chair, his eyes widening as he looked back and forth between Himeko and Lin Shuang.

Paimon delivered the final blow:

"March 7th passengers, please calm down. Starting today, Lin Shuang will also be joining the Train and becoming one of us."

Chapter 329 The Invisible Existence of Penacony

After Paimon announced to the Astral Express Crew that Lin Shuang had joined the team.

It's truly amazing.

Lin Shuang felt as if some new power had appeared out of nowhere within her body.

If things go as expected, this should be the Path force behind the Trailblaze spirit.

Lin Shuang smiled and sat down in the restaurant to eat breakfast with everyone.

His gaze kept glancing at Paimon.

Last night, after agreeing to let Lin Shuang join, Himeko, as the Navigator, did not change herself.

It wasn't until the next day, after Paimon admitted it and announced it publicly, that this happened.

This force has just emerged.
