"Aaaaaah!!"
"Wake up, Passenger Yan Huan! Do you know what time it is?!"
"??"
Yan Huan lay under his covers and struggled to open his eyes. He stared at the fluffy creature before him in confusion.
"Train Conductor... what are you trying to do, kill me?"
"Stop joking!"
Pom-Pom yanked Yan Huan's blanket away and said urgently,
"This is a super-duper emergency! Pom-Pom can hardly believe it!"
"The train's long-awaited deep-cleaning day is almost here! Aaaaaah!!"
"..."
As Pom-Pom went wild in his room, Yan Huan quietly sat up and began getting dressed.
"Passenger Yan Huan, why are you so calm?" Pom-Pom asked.
"I'm not calm. You're the one with a problem."
Yan Huan gave him a disdainful look.
"It's just cleaning. What's there to get worked up about? We'll do what we need to do!"
"How can you say that?"
Pom-Pom protested,
"We're about to head to the nearest Car Wash Star! I came to remind you not to teleport away during the trip, or you might not be able to get back, pom!"
"Don't ignore my warning and end up drifting through space again!"
"..."
Thanks to Pom-Pom's wake-up call, Yan Huan was up early.
When he reached the Parlor Car, Dan Heng, Welt, and the others were already there.
"Yan Huan, you're up."
Dan Heng greeted him.
"The Train Conductor must have told you everything."
"Yeah."
Yan Huan's expression didn't change.
"I heard the train's big cleanup is about to start."
"It is," Dan Heng said gravely.
"I'm planning to help too."
Welt looked at Yan Huan and explained,
"Judging by our usual schedule, we can't put it off any longer. That's why Pom-Pom is in such a hurry."
"...Got it."
Yan Huan took his breakfast and sat down on the sofa to eat.
