As long as nothing major happens, it won't be a problem for Está to be away for several days.
"Then you might have made a wasted trip. We should go to Pinocchio for a while in a while."
Is it the Harmonious Music Ceremony?
Estelle was naturally aware of the upcoming Harmonious Music Festival.
"Hmm, if we book tickets for the Harmonious Music Festival now..."
Estelle took out her phone and opened the Daydream Hotel's booking website.
Unfortunately, the Daydream Hotel was already fully booked by the time the Harmonious Music Festival ended.
Pinocchio was already a world-renowned resort destination, and now it's also hosting the Harmony Festival.
If you don't book well in advance, it's almost impossible for guests like Estád to buy tickets if they make a last-minute decision.
"If you want to come with me, I'll see if I can come up with a ticket."
When I booked the room with Robin, Huang Quan was still around, but then he had to leave.
Strictly speaking, Luffy's side has an extra room in the Underworld.
"No need, this is nothing to me!"
If something can be solved with money, then it's not really a problem. At worst, Estella can just take out a portion of her New Year's money.
As long as the price is high enough, there will always be someone willing to make a bid!
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at Pinocchio, but you shouldn't waste too much money. If you really can't make it, just come find me!"
"Okay, I got it!"
Hearing Luffy's words of advice, Estella smiled and nodded.
"Alright, let's stop chatting now. Xing must be waiting for you, right? By the way, have you said goodbye to Ms. Ruan Mei?"
"I did say that, but she was doing research at the time, so she didn't reply!"
Luffy said with some helplessness that when Ruan Mei was doing her research, she was basically unaffected by the outside world.
"Alright, I'll let Ms. Ruan Mei know again later. Goodbye, Naruf!"
Goodbye, Estelle!
Estelle gave Luffy a tender kiss on the cheek as a farewell, and then Luffy returned to the train.
"Oh, you're finally back! I've been watching you and Estella flirting in the car for ages!"
As they entered the train, Xing jumped out and teased, "y/*ue-已貳删鷗齐就轳III尔."
"Since you don't want to be separated from her so much, why don't you just take her with you!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy's face darkened.
"If you keep talking nonsense, believe me or not I'll throw you into outer space halfway there?"
"No, brother, I was wrong!"
Xing also quickly raised her hands in surrender; she didn't want to drift back to Yalilo VI.
"Alright, let's go then!"
With that, Luffy started the train, said his best goodbye to Estelle on the platform, and then the two returned to Arillow VI.
Back in Arilo, Hoshi waved to Luffy.
"Then I'll head back to the Starry Sky Train first. March and the others must miss me terribly!"
"I don't think so. I saw on March 7th's WeChat Moments this morning that he went shopping with Xier and the others. They're probably having a great time there right now!"
"Nani!"
Upon hearing this, Xing quickly took out her phone and saw that March 7th had posted an update.
The photo showed her, Seele, and Furibas shopping.
All three are sunny and cheerful beauties, and they do look pleasing to the eye when standing together.
However, Xing's expression was not very good.
After confirming yesterday that he would be returning today, Xing sent a message in the train crew's group chat that he was coming back.
Back then, on March 7th, I even said I would give myself a surprise.
So the surprise was that I went shopping with other people when I came back?
At that moment, Xing felt as if she had been betrayed.
"No!"
Against the backdrop of a snowy sky, the sorrowful star seems particularly fitting at this moment.
"Try to look on the bright side; maybe other people on the train are welcoming you?"
Upon hearing this, Xing thought for a moment about the taciturn Danheng, the mature Walter, and the steady Himeko.
These three don't look like they would celebrate specifically for themselves.
This made Xing even more heartbroken.
"Okay, I'll be going now!"
Seeing Xing's sad face, and adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble," Luffy also prepared to make a run for it.
"No, you can't leave!"
Just as Luffy was about to leave, Xing stopped him.
"What are you doing? This is your train crew's business. What does it have to do with an outsider like me!"
As he spoke, Luffy tried to slap away the hand that was on his shoulder.
But Xing held on tightly and wouldn't let go.
"No, Doraemon, please help me think of something!"
"I don't have any 2D pocket, how can I help you?"
Just as the two were entangled, March 7's voice suddenly rang out.
"Oh my, it really is Xing! That's the voice we just heard!"
"March, what are you doing here?"
Xing was somewhat surprised to see March 7th.
"Hehe, I'm just picking out a gift for you to celebrate your return. It's great to have Seele and Miss Furibas, who know Belloberg well, help me out!"
As she spoke, March 7th took out a gift she had prepared in advance from a bag beside her.
"It's just a scarf, don't be put off by it!"
"I knew you were the best on March 7th!"
Upon hearing this, Xing was also deeply moved and rushed into March 7's arms.
On the other side, Seele and Furibas were also hugging Luffy.
Enjoying the company of two women, Seele and Furibas suddenly sniffed Luffy's body.
Seeing the two of them like this, Luffy immediately had a bad feeling.
Why do I smell another girl on you?
Seele's eyes narrowed, and she looked at Luffy with ill intent.
"Forehead……"
Just as Luffy was about to say something, Furibas added from the side.
"Not just two! (The rest is unclear and likely refers to a specific game or event.)"
Seeing the jealous looks on the two of them, Luffy's gaze also turned to Hoshi.
"Oh no, Star! Help me!"
"I'm sorry, this is your own business, and our train crew shouldn't interfere!"
As if in retaliation for Luffy's earlier attempt to abandon him, Hoshi also revealed a cold smile.
"We'll be gone for three months. We'll leave this place to Luffy and the others!"
"Star, you Kaffa!"
Volume 1: Chapter 370 Come Back! My Proudest System
“Ouch~!”
After some effort, Luffy finally managed to appease Seele and Furibas.
However, the price was that Luffy's waist was bruised and battered from being pinched by the two of them.
At this moment, all Luffy wanted to do was lie down on the bed and get some rest.
"Luffy, you're back!"
Luffy had just returned to Crepper Castle when he saw Bronya.
This made Luffy instinctively take a step back.
Lately, Luffy has been feeling that his woman's sense of smell might be a little too sensitive.
To prevent Bronya from finding out anything, and to protect his back, Luffy was determined.
"Hello Bronya, goodbye Bronya!"
With that, Luffy dashed off, leaving Bronya looking completely bewildered.
"Something's not right, nine out of ten things are definitely not right!"
Seeing Luffy's guilty look, Bronya also keenly sensed that something was wrong.
So Bronya took out her phone to ask Seele if she knew anything about the inside story.
Of course, Luffy had returned to his room and was resting in bed.
[System loading 98%...99%, system loading complete!]
As a familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out, Luffy was taken aback.
What's going on?
My dear host, have you missed me?
At that moment, the system's voice rang in Luffy's mind once again.
"System, you've been revived!"
[That's right, I'm back! I'm not dead yet!]
The joy of their recent reunion was dampened by Luffy's words.
"So what updates have you made in the past two years?"
[Of course, we've updated many features! For example, there are all sorts of gift packs given away with every recharge, which can contain amazing rewards like high-level Devil Fruits and top-tier Conqueror's Haki!]
"?"
At this moment, Luffy was taken aback. What system are you from?
[Just kidding, host! I've actually updated other features here too!]
"So you don't deny those pay-to-win packages at all?"
[There's no way around it; during the time I've been updating, I've come to understand one thing: you can't make money with a conscience!]
"6!"
[By the way, I've also opened up the Star Jade Exchange function this time. Host, you can exchange items from the Star Iron World for Star Jade!]
"How about credits?"
[Yes, 648 million credits can be exchanged for a 1-star Qiong!]
Upon hearing this, Luffy was immediately shocked by the system's greed.
