Chapter 61: Kaffa is seen again.
Pinocchio, the "Star of the Gathering," was originally a prison for exiling criminals. After the arrival of the Star Core, the company lost control of it and it joined the embrace of Hippe, now a member of the "family."
Yunzhi didn't have any ill feelings towards that place, but she had heard that the people there were very good at dreaming.
...Okay, what kind of description is this?
Let's go see the children when they get back; there's still plenty of time before the banquet.
Indeed, it took quite some time before the three children finally returned to the train.
After returning...
Xing first pulled Yunzhi aside and told her about what she had encountered:
"Zhi, let me tell you, we later went to the Rift Realm, and I received a terrifying phone call there..."
"Also, I met the two sisters in Rivet Town in the lower district, the younger sister in the residential area, and later the older sister..."
Xing spoke with great interest.
Yunzhi: ...
See? This place is really filthy!
Let's leave as soon as possible and not waste any more time here.
Although I'm not afraid, I'm really annoyed.
I took a lot of photos here on March 7th, and I'm going to organize them and bind them into a book.
Dan Heng went back to the think tank to rest.
... Rather than saying he was unsociable, it's more accurate to say he was scared away by Himeko's mention of "coffee".
It's not actually that scary, but Yunzhi herself doesn't drink it.
Soon, Pam made the train conductor's voice from the observation car.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, passengers. Thanks to the great help of the pioneers, the rift activity has been reduced to a minimum, and all the readings on the star track have returned to normal."
In other words, the track has been repaired and travel can continue.
"The train is about to depart again, leaving Yalilo-6. Please hold on tight and say goodbye to this planet one last time."
...Once the newly established territory is anchored and lit up, you can travel back and forth at any time.
So, is it really that important to say goodbye or not?
However, it's best not to say those words aloud.
After all, Pam can't go anywhere except by train now, so it's truly goodbye for her.
The train quickly transformed into a shooting star, leaving the Yalilo-6 far behind and smoothly continuing on its track.
"Go back to your room and rest first."
Having heard so many ghost stories, let's not let our children continue to spread terror here.
Didn't you see that Pam is afraid to approach the star?
————————————————————
After a night's rest, the next day was the train crew's jump route meeting.
Yun got up early, and by the time the three little ones arrived at the observation car, he was already sitting on the sofa.
While we were at it, I chatted with Walter about the knives on the Hyperion... well, I mean the past.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Pam immediately scurried over to the middle of the carriage with her short legs.
It may look small, but it has quite an imposing presence.
The passengers on the train all went to its side, waiting for it to speak.
—That's right, this rabbit is the group's darling, it's Paimon from the Starry Sky Train...the pronunciation is so similar.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the jump route meeting is now officially open!"
The serious expression on that little face only made her look incredibly cute.
"First of all, Pam thanks all the anonymous passengers for successfully resolving the issue at this station, allowing the train to continue running on the tracks!"
March 7th said with a grin, "It's all thanks to us, but without a doubt, Zhi is the biggest contributor."
"The result of our joint efforts." Yun patted March 7's head.
"Next, I, the train conductor, will announce the name of the next station—"
Yun Zhi suddenly frowned and looked up at Pam's back.
—A holographic projection suddenly appeared inside the train.
But this was just a communication and posed no threat whatsoever.
The person who sent the message... was someone I knew.
Kafka?
Yunzhi was a little confused.
Why did Star Core Hunter suddenly send a message?
Is Kafka coming to see her daughter?
"Hi, everyone on the Star Train, I'm Kafka."
The holographic projection of the woman folded her umbrella and casually strode forward.
Pam blinked and hid behind Walter's legs.
"The timing is good; everyone's here—it seems like everyone is."
Danheng wasn't there; he seemed to be resting.
Himeko had no liking for the Star Core Hunter: "There's no need for your charming self-introduction, Star Core Hunter."
Yunzhi returned to the sofa and sat down.
Kafka suddenly sent a message here, so she must have something to say. Yunzhi believes that the person who can see fate will not make them do anything meaningless.
So, there's no need to worry about anything else, just listen.
"Himeko, right? I'm sorry to have interrupted your gathering, but I believe you will understand my intrusion after hearing my request."
Kafka walked to the window without looking back, tapping her fingers lightly on the table a few times: "I need you to change your destination."
That's so straightforward.
Are you just going to ask them to change their destination without any explanation?
This isn't appropriate.
"Star Core Hunter, I've seen you before, but it was on the company's bounty poster. The reward was astronomical, dead or alive. Do you know how much you're worth?"
Himeko said in a bad tone.
The company truly doesn't care whether the Star Core Hunters live or die, but it seems to treat Elio differently.
Not only should he not die, but he should also not be allowed to lose his ability to think for himself.
Not surprising. Who wouldn't want to be able to predict the future?
...So what's the situation with the Venerable Master Boshi?
It's quite complicated.
Kafka paid no attention to Himeko's words: "The company's bounty? I don't care much. It's more of a compliment than a bad reputation. The bigger the number, the more praise it receives."
March 7th was speechless: "You wanted criminals are really taking things easy..."
Yun Zhi noticed something was wrong.
"Forget the formalities, just tell me why you're here. I don't think you're here to see the kids."
Change of destination?
Where to move to and what to do are all very important.
Whether or not it takes action is up to the Star Train itself.
Kafka smiled, closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them, her beautiful eyes were fixed straight on Yunzhi.
"Hello everyone, have you heard of 'Luofu'?"
Yunzhi: ...
Isn't that obvious?
