"Can't go with Stelle?" March 7th was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Conductor, I-I can do cleaning, one month, two months, anything, but—"
"March 7th passenger, the reason a punishment is a punishment is because it cannot be bargained." Pom-Pom said seriously, "Besides, you have already explored three worlds in a row. Even if you separate for a short time, it should be fine, right?"
March 7th lowered her head. "But… I'm worried she'll encounter danger…"
Pom-Pom smiled. "It won't be. Not to mention Stelle passenger's own power is not to be ignored, for the next stop's Trailblaze journey, I plan to have Dan Heng passenger and Sunday passenger accompany her. This way, safety is absolutely guaranteed."
"What, Sunday is going too?" March 7th became even more worried.
Pom-Pom tilted her head. "Is there a problem? Sunday is a new passenger who just boarded. He should go out and practice with them, right?"
"Otherwise, staying on the train all the time would not conform to the Nameless's principle of 'Trailblaze.'"
March 7th stammered, "B-but…"
Pom-Pom: "No buts. Don't worry, March 7th passenger. Not every world hides crises. Besides, Stelle passenger might make more pretty and cute friends on this trip and come back to tell you stories."
"It's decided. March 7th passenger, the Conductor will supervise you properly, Pam."
March 7th opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but thinking of Pom-Pom's firm attitude, she could only sigh.
Play is play, but Pom-Pom still had principles. Even those two "A brothers" who broke the train's rules would get hit with Pom-Pom's broom.
On the other side.
"Sunday, you're not really dead, are you?"
Stelle sat worriedly beside Sunday, holding her fragrant cheek with one small hand and muttering to herself, "Sigh, is there really no one in this world you're attached to anymore? I really think Miss Robin cares about you a lot."
"Sigh, what a pity. March is punished by the Conductor and can't get off the train, and you've become like this. Looks like only Dan Heng can accompany me…"
Whoosh—
Suddenly, Sunday sat up at a physically impossible ninety-degree angle. "Miss Stelle, please rest assured. On this next stop, I will guard you left and right and lead you on a long journey!"
Stelle: "Ehhh?!"
Did he just come back from the dead?!
"Oh? Since Sunday passenger has woken up too, it's time for us to start the train meeting, Pam."
Pom-Pom cleared her throat, gathered everyone together, and said, "Next, we have four destination options. Everyone can choose freely and speak your minds."
"In the end, we will decide based on the voting results."
"However, because March 7th passenger is being punished, her vote is automatically voided."
March 7th ground her silver teeth, a little angry.
With her personality, even if she participated in the train meeting she would usually just go with the flow and occasionally make small suggestions.
But after Stelle joined, it became different. She just wanted to get off with Stelle and Trailblaze together. Yet the Conductor specifically chose this to punish her. How despicable!
March 7th even suspected that Pom-Pom knew about her feelings for Stelle and deliberately punished her this way!
And letting Sunday accompany Stelle off the train… That guy's intentions are so obvious, has no one noticed?!
Moreover, what if in the new world Stelle meets a second, third, or even more "Sundays"? What would she do?!
The previous Firefly was the best example! She had only been separated from Stelle for a few in-game hours and someone already took advantage. What if they were separated for a day, or a whole month?
Wouldn't that Little Stellaron end up with a little sister?!
While March 7th was still lost in wild thoughts, Pom-Pom spoke up: "The first option is the ocean planet Lushaka, Mikhail's hometown. It has also been affected by a Stellaron. Sea levels have risen, and we don't know the current situation."
"However, because of Mikhail's great fame in Penacony, travelers from all over the universe want to see this legendary 'Father of Penacony.' So Lushaka has been developing into a tourist destination in recent years. You need to make a reservation in advance if you go."
"The second option is the 'Agate World' Melusitania."
"That is the ascension site of the Aeon of Beauty, Idrila. It is known as the world of everlasting, indestructible beauty. It is said to be one of the origin points of Stellarons, so it's probably not very safe."
[Beauty]?
The moment this word was mentioned, Stelle felt a stress response because she automatically associated it with the [Beauty] followers she had encountered along the way: Phantylia and Duke Inferno.
Strictly speaking, she should also add the "Annihilation Gang." The entire Annihilation Gang believes in Beauty… Whether by coincidence or not, in this world those who believe in [Beauty] were all believers of [Destruction] in the original world.
Those who don't know might think the Aeon of [Beauty] is named Nanook.
Pom-Pom continued, "However, signals from the Antimatter Legion were detected near this world. If I'm not mistaken, there is likely an Extinction Lord wandering nearby. The danger level is relatively high."
"The third option is the Glazed Light Belt, Padreviniqia. That is the territory of the 'Mourning Actor,' part of [Elation]'s domain. It also has some connection with our train. Compared to the Agate World, this place is actually a bit safer."
"These are the three choices proposed by the Conductor."
"Oh?" Himeko noticed the implication in Pom-Pom's words and chuckled lightly. "Didn't the Conductor just say there are four choices in total?"
Pom-Pom: "Of course. As for the fourth choice… it wasn't proposed by this Conductor. Stelle passenger, it's your turn."
Stelle was stunned and pointed at herself. "M-me?"
She hadn't even told Pom-Pom about Amphoreus yet.
Pom-Pom nodded. "Yes. You didn't think passengers' thoughts could be hidden from the Conductor, did you? From the moment you asked me when the train meeting would start, I already noticed, Pam."
"If you have any ideas, just say them. Everyone will consider them seriously."
Stelle scratched her head and said a little embarrassedly, "I still can't hide it from the Conductor. To be honest, I just received this information…"
Stelle recounted the news she had just gotten from Argenti.
"Amphoreus?" Himeko thought seriously. "I really haven't heard this name before."
Welt flipped through his phone. "It's not on the star map either. If that Galaxy Ranger didn't deceive you, then a brand-new world that has just been born indeed has unique exploration value."
"After all, those walking the path of [Trailblaze] are not limited to the Astral Express. The birth of new worlds and new life is also a form of Trailblaze."
Pom-Pom agreed, "Correct. Therefore, the eternal land Amphoreus—unknown difficulty, unknown information, unknown coordinates—will be added to the next stop options."
"Now, let's begin voting."
