The joyful mahjong session passed swiftly.
Several hours flew by in the blink of an eye.
Hiko, occupied with her tasks, didn't return at all during this ti.
March 7th stretched lazily and glanced at her phone, saying, "Hmm... It's getting very late now. Let's call it a day; we need our sleep."
"If you don't rest well, your skin will suffer," she added, followed by a big yawn.
Bochang nodded and stood up.
"Alright, let's wrap things up for today."
Stelle and Serval had no objections.
After playing for such a long duration, everyone was tired, especially Serval, who suffered multiple crushing defeats.
So...
They tidied up the mahjong table and each returned to their respective rooms.
Although they had resolved the crisis posed by Stellaron,
it would still take so ti for its effects to completely dissipate.
During this ti, everyone could only wait on the train.
Bochang briefly freshened up and settled comfortably onto his bed.
It was already midnight, and Bochang felt drowsy. Closing his eyes, he quickly drifted off to sleep.
On the other hand, March 7th lay down but couldn't fall asleep for quite so ti.
Her mind kept replaying what Bochang had said earlier, causing her excitent to surge.
While playing mahjong, she managed to distract herself sowhat, but now with idle monts...
She began indulging in wild fantasies again.
"Hehe... Bochang wants to be closer with ..." March 7th tossed and turned on her large pink bed, continuously reminiscing about their recent interaction. "To say such things while holding my hand, how shaless... Heehee..."
As she recalled Bochang's gaze, the warmth of his touch, and his deep voice, March 7th couldn't help but let out a subtle, infatuated giggle.
March 7th couldn't help but giggle softly like a smitten schoolgirl.
"I wonder...what is he doing right now? Is he feeling the sa way?"
The pink-haired girl clutched her blanket tightly, wrapping her long, pale legs around it as well, unable to resist recalling the events of the previous night.
At that ti, March 7th had indeed been quite intoxicated, but she hadn't completely lost consciousness...
As mories flooded back, she hugged the blanket even tighter, causing the soft contours of her chest to visibly shift.
anwhile, Bochang was enjoying a sound sleep.
It might have been due to possessing the Sheep Talisman; whenever Bochang felt drowsy, falling asleep ca effortlessly to him.
The clock's hands ticked steadily onward.
Before long, morning arrived on the second day.
Bochang woke up early and had just finished his morning routine when Conductor Pom-Pom's voice echoed throughout the train through the loudspeakers.
"Hello—hello! Apologies for the wait! Dear passengers, thanks to the exceptional efforts of our four Trailblazers, the rift's activity has been minimized, and all readings of the star rail have returned to normal ranges! The train is about to resu its journey, departing from Jarilo VI. Please sit securely and hold on tight. Take one last mont to bid farewell to this planet!
"Additionally... please gather at the train hall as the route planning eting is about to comnce."
And so...
Bochang made his way to the train hall.
There he found Pom-Pom, Hiko, Welt Yang, Serval, Stelle, and March 7th.
Only Dan Heng was yet to arrive.
Pom-Pom glanced around and said, "Pascal, go find Dan Heng; the route planning eting is starting soon."
"Pascal... acknowledged."
The robot Pascal promptly set off next to Pom-Pom.
Having such a helpful robot nearby allowed everyone to save considerable effort.
Upon spotting March 7th and the others, Bochang greeted them first.
"Good morning."
Serval and the group responded with smiles.
Bochang then asked, "Hiko, have we decided on our next destination?"
"It's already been determined. We'll formally announce it during the eting shortly; no need to rush..." Hiko looked at Bochang. "Before the eting begins, you can sit nearby and enjoy a cup of coffee or sothing similar."
"All right."
With that, Bochang plopped down onto the soft red sofa, just one ter away from March 7th.
"March, you don't look too well... Did you not sleep well last night?" Bochang curiously observed her.
March 7th's cheeks flushed slightly as she protested, "No way... Don't make things up. Last night... I had a really sound sleep."
"That's good."
Seeing this reaction, Bochang refrained from further comnt.
anwhile, Serval picked up the kettle, brewed coffee for everyone individually, and personally served it to them.
"Freshly made, please enjoy." Serval handed out the cups of coffee.
Bochang accepted one, saying, "Thank you."
As they sipped their coffee, casual conversation flowed among the group.
Pascal, who had gone to fetch others, returned promptly.
However, even as the warp route eting comnced, Dan Heng did not show up, leaving his whereabouts unknown.
The conductor, Pom-Pom, didn't wait any longer and proceeded without him.
"Ladies and gentlen! The official Warp Route eting is now beginning!" The lop-eared rabbit mascot, clad in its red uniform, looked around at everyone. "Firstly... Pom-Pom would like to express gratitude to our passengers, The Naless, for successfully resolving the issue here, allowing the train to continue racing along the star rails!"
"Next, your conductor will announce the na of the next station—"
Before Pom-Pom could finish, it was abruptly interrupted.
Suddenly, a holographic projection appeared in the train's main hall.
It was none other than Kafka herself.
"Long ti no see, everyone on the Astral Express." Holding her black umbrella, the tall and poised woman lifted her head. "I am Kafka."
Upon seeing this uninvited guest, Hiko and Welt Yang's expressions instantly changed.
Pom-Pom couldn't help but take a few steps back, hiding behind Welt Yang.
Serval, unsure of the situation, mirrored their reactions, becoming tense as well.
"Hmm... What perfect timing, with everyone gathered here... It seems almost everyone is present," Kafka remarked calmly. As she stepped forward, she noticed soone seed to be missing.
After Kafka's appearance, Hiko quickly glanced at Bochang and Stelle.
They had long been aware that the Herta Space Station was invaded by the Stellaron Hunters.
They both suspected that Bochang and Stelle had connections with the Stellaron Hunters.
As such, Hiko imdiately assud Kafka's presence was related to these two individuals.
However...
The question now arose—how did Kafka appear here? Hiko scanned her surroundings, hoping to find any clues or traces.
But she discovered nothing.
Seeing Kafka unexpectedly, Stelle was stunned, her eyes widening significantly as she couldn't help but examine him from head to toe.
This person...
Stelle felt very familiar with him; she could even recall his na.
Hiko knew it was rely a holographic projection—the real individual wasn't present. Consequently, she remained composed and simply glanced at her hands, stating, "There's no need for a captivating introduction, Stellaron Hunter."
Her tone was distinctly unfriendly.
After all, she was a wanted criminal by the Interstellar Peace Corporation.
Bochang silently observed the unfolding scene, unsure of what he should do.
