Astral Express, Parlor Car
"Sigh~ Our Astral Express Crew is doing better now, but is this really a good thing?" March 7th sat down next to Fulisina.
She truly hadn't expected that after the incident with the giant True Sting, Fulisina would stay and temporarily travel with the train. Anyway, the next stop was [ Planet of Festivities ] Penacony, so it didn't matter.
As for why Fulisina stayed... what else could it be but Ye Yan? It couldn't be just for a bottle of milk tea every day, could it?
Hmm... that might be true. The Church of Eternity is quite sensible and won't let itself be rejected by its own Aeon for not maintaining proper boundaries.
Hehe... let Blake stay in Penacony and enjoy his holiday.
Xing looked worried; she had just returned from the [ Herta ] Space Station, not to mention the strange man with the plaster-coated hair.
Even among members of the " Genius Society," the differences between these geniuses are enormous.
Especially that woman named Ruan Mei, who immediately started touching her, saying it was a work habit. She claimed that touching her would open her senses and allow information about life to flood her mind, helping her understand her biological structure.
In comparison, the seemingly inanimate Screwllum feels the most humane. Is this the sense of security that Intellitron provide?
If I had known, I would have brought Ye Yan with me when we returned to the [ Herta ] Space Station. He could have drawn the fire of those geniuses for her.
Herta and Screwllum were very interested in her weapons.
According to Herta, Star is now like a walking encyclopedia of curiosities, and all the equipment he carries could be considered curiosities on Space Station.
Do you even realize how prestigious the Galactic Baseballer... to be chosen by three geniuses from the " Genius Society "?
Tsk, this [ Erudition ] Aeon has no sense at all. If she had any sense, she should have quickly turned her gaze towards Chaoxing and made her a rare Six- Pathstrider in the universe.
Strangely enough, Xing felt that her performance on the Xianzhou Luofu was too mediocre, and she didn't even attract the attention of any Aeon. She had thought that she could at least get a glance from [ The Hunt ] Lan on Luofu.
There are ways to get noticed by Lan, the simplest being to find the [ Abundance ] Aeon.
[Whether or not your world has a concept of day and night, I wish you a good morning, noon, and evening! Welcome to this episode of the Interastral Peace Broadcast. I'm your good friend Jimi ~]
[Renowned singer Miss Robin performed at the Charmony Festival, a long-standing tradition of the Planet of Festivities, a grand celebration held only once every Amber Era. The Charmony Festival Harmony countless believers to pray for a bright future for the universe.]
[ Miss Robin, a superstar highly regarded in the galaxy, has won numerous prestigious awards. Her angelic voice is renowned throughout the world, and there are many rumors in the industry that... her voice was chosen and blessed by a certain deity in the universe.]
[During this celebration, Miss Robin will sing a hymn in the name of the [ The Family ] for the [ Harmony ] Aeon, thus opening the grand ceremony.]
[ Interastral Peace Corporation will broadcast the entire celebration live, sending music and best wishes to thousands of stars around the world. Let's wait and see!]
[In addition, scholars have discovered a crystal coffin inside the Ever-Flame Mansion, the origin of which is still unknown...]
In the Party Car, Ye Yan swirled the milk tea in his cup, looking at the silver-haired girl sitting next to him.
"Does Elio know that we've blatantly trespassed onto the Astral Express?"
"Have no idea."
Silver Wolf is always honest; despite being a virtual projection, he's drinking a non-alcoholic beverage prepared by the [ Shut Up ] robot.
"Putting everything else aside, the [ Eternity ] arcane technique is still very useful at this time."
The Script is already gibberish, and it's pointless for Elio to worry about it—that's Silver Wolf's opinion.
Looking at all the Stellaron Hunters, she had the easiest life. Every day she either played games or went to the [ Herta ] Space Station to provoke the Herta. She didn't have any missions herself.
I remember that she wasn't originally part of Penacony's " Script," but since it's called " Planet of Festivities," it would be perfect for her to play games there.
Well... it's definitely better than the Church of Eternity, right?
Silver Wolf recalled that less-than-pleasant memory...
--
Upon arriving, Silver Wolf was Curiosity about everything on this planet. Feeling the warmth of the inhabitants, Silver Wolf recalled Ye Yan's words.
[The planet of water, the City of Eternity Perrisia, and also the headquarters of the Church of Eternity... Believe me, this is a planet that will leave a lasting impression after just one visit.]
"Elves and dwarves, this is practically a classic isekai fantasy story."
Silver Wolf sat in her private carriage. This [ Church of Eternity ] was truly something else. She had arrived with a group of tourists on a spaceship, yet this contrast was quite a local characteristic.
Hmm... why does she seem to have a sense of technological backwardness?
"The scenery is completely different from Punklorde! Ah! The snack shops here even sell Lil' Twist Bubble Gum!"
"Mmm~ The air is so fresh, what a wonderful start!"
Thanks to Ye Yan, she even got to ride in a private carriage that costs a lot of Credits! I never expected Ye Yan to have connections with the Church's higher-ups.
"By the way, Master, what do you do for a living?"
"Milk tea... Pshaw, miss, just think of me as a bartender," said the carriage driver in front.
"Bartender? You have a side job too? Working two jobs at the same time?"
Silver Wolf became interested; she was just wondering where to go, and now there was a ready-made tour guide right in front of her.
There's a saying that goes, "Pulling a rickshaw is a job, but running a Tavern is the life I truly love."
"Speaking of Perrisia, it's a famous tourist destination worldwide. The hot springs here are incredibly effective, providing healing effects similar to those of the [ Abundance ] Aeon," the coachman predicted before Silver Wolf could even ask.
"So, I should go soak in the hot springs first?"
"No, ma'am... you can go to the central fountain first, where the [ Eternity ] Aeon statue, created by Chair Blake over the entire Amber Era, stands!"
A few minutes later, following the coachman's advice, Silver Wolf arrived at a small fountain. Upon seeing the so-called " Eternity " statue, his expectations were instantly dashed.
"An hourglass? It's filled with the Iridescent Number 8 display? Are you kidding me..."
"Oops~ My apple fell."
A dramatic gasp came precisely from behind Silver Wolf.
She turned around and saw a little girl kneeling on the ground in a standard "fallen girl" pose, with the fruit from the bag rolling precisely all over the ground as if it had been rehearsed.
Out of kindness, the Silver Wolf bent down to help the little girl pick up the fruit, and even lifted her up from the ground.
"Thank you, sister!" The little girl immediately bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, her smile as sweet as freshly melted candy.
Silver Wolf had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the 'chance encounter' was over, when he saw the little girl suddenly clench her fists, her face instantly switching to a shy yet expectant expression:
"Um... there's a newly opened bubble tea shop near the Church up ahead, let's go chat there, sister!"
"No need."
Silver Wolf resolutely refused. Ye Yan had just given her a bunch of milk tea before she left, and she was now a little overwhelmed by the word "milk tea."
"Wait a minute!" the little girl's voice suddenly rose, "If you don't want to go to the bubble tea shop, actually I'm quite good at fortune telling! Let me tell your fortune as a reward!"
Before he could finish speaking, a small hand shot out like lightning and firmly attached itself to the Silver Wolf's wrist.
"No, really no... Hey! Let go!"
Silver Wolf's lips twitched as she struggled incessantly. How could she, a dignified Stellaron Hunters, be unable to move a muscle in the hands of a girl dressed in Church robe?
Is this arm strength some kind of absurd? She reported the Church of Eternity for hiring child laborers; this little girl has definitely trained!
"Sister, the divination results are in! If things continue like this, misfortune will befall you! But if you join the [ Church of Eternity ], you can escape this calamity! Sunshine will shine upon you! Your wishes will come true! Limited spots available!"
"No Credits required! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Join now, sister!" The little girl's eyes gleamed, and she clung to the Silver Wolf like a demon.
"The unfortunate thing is that I'm now entangled with you!"
