Although Robin was a superstar known across the universe, Welt was still curious about her status in Penacony.
As a reliable adult, he had noticed that besides the admiration and affection people had for a celebrity, the Family's security staff also seemed to treat Robin with respect.
"Miss Robin, are you, like that gentleman just now, also a member of the Family in Penacony?" Welt asked.
Robin smiled lightly and answered, "To be honest, I'm a guest just like all of you. Penacony is my hometown, but I left after I grew up. This time, I was fortunate enough to be invited back to perform a song at the Charmony Festival."
"The Sunday you mentioned is my older brother. He's one of Penacony's local leaders and also the organizer of this Charmony Festival."
"While he was catching up with Nero, he noticed that everyone had run into some trouble, so he came over to help. But it seems we still arrived a little too late and gave you all an unpleasant check-in experience. I'm truly sorry."
While they were talking here, Aventurine seemed to have finished speaking with Sunday. The latter quickly walked back over.
"Please rest assured. We've already adjusted the system and arranged suitable rooms for everyone."
"Mr. Aventurine had an appointment with the Oak Family, so he checked in first. He asked me to apologize to everyone aboard the Astral Express on his behalf, and he looks forward to working with all of you in the future."
"Thank you for helping settle this," Welt said.
"Speaking of Aventurine..." March said, "Even though the way he talks always makes it feel like he's hiding something behind sweet words, Nero seems to get along with him pretty well."
"Mhm..." Nero nodded. "Even though the way he talks is a bit... flashy, Brother Aventurine is actually a pretty nice person. Remember the outfit I wore during the Belobog celebration? He bought it for me."
After chatting a little longer, Robin and Sunday still had things to do, so they left.
"What a series of twists and turns." March sighed, remembering the inspection before they landed. "But at least we finally got checked in."
"This place really is covered in gold and luxury." Qingque looked around at the decorations. "I wonder if anyone plays Celestial Jade in a place made for enjoyment like this."
"I'm more curious about what fun things there are to do here, and what good food and drinks they have," Bailu said.
Hook nodded hard beside Bailu. "I agree with Bailu!"
Yanqing narrowed his eyes before saying, "From what I've observed, there don't seem to be any particularly strong people among the security here..."
The result clearly left the Cloud Knight Lieutenant unsatisfied.
"With security this weak, can it really do its job?"
"I looked up some information before coming. Under the Harmony's protection, Penacony probably... doesn't get attacked very often."
"On the Xianzhou, even if we don't have to worry about Abominations of Abundance attacking at any time, we still have to deal with people who fall into mara-struck... We're fighting almost all the time," Huohuo said.
At the same time, Tail gave Yanqing an annoyed scolding.
"You brat, what are you even thinking about? Is there nothing in your head besides practicing your sword?"
"That kid Nero invited us here to have fun, not to come on a military campaign. Think about it. When you get back, you're definitely going to tell Jing Yuan about all the fun things here, not how many fights you got into in one day."
Yanqing twitched the corner of his mouth but decided not to argue with Tail.
This time, he really wasn't thinking about finding someone to improve his sword skills with. It was just an occupational habit from being a Cloud Knight.
From his own perspective and standards, he genuinely felt Penacony's security wasn't very good and needed improvement.
Now, living under the shadow of someone named Nero, Yanqing had become more and more mature. At the same time, he seemed to have gradually forgotten his own arrogance and the pride of being a genius.
Even though he couldn't last a single move against Nero, across the vast Luofu, there still weren't many people who could last a single move against his sword.
Clara said nothing. She was a more mature child, and together with Svarog, she was organizing all the information they had gathered so far.
Although the luxurious hotel had completely caught her attention at first, now she hoped to use this chance to learn some useful skills and knowledge here.
After the people in the Robot Settlement no longer needed protection, the Underworld was liberated, and the Nero Fragmentum Factory was established, this kind and sensible child had already changed her goal to rebuilding her hometown.
Stelle sighed and said, "Actually, there's something that's been bothering me. 'Robin,' 'Sunday'... Are the Family's names all this strange?"
March froze for a moment and blinked.
"They're probably just nicknames... right?"
It wasn't hard to hear from her uncertain tone that she wasn't very sure either.
"I think so too," Himeko said. "It's probably some kind of custom in Penacony or the Family.
"For now, let's go to the front desk and see which rooms we've been assigned. There aren't many people in the lobby right now, so picking up our room cards won't delay anyone else."
"Looking at us, we're more like the Family than the Family is," Stelle complained as she looked at the large group.
Before long, everyone received their room cards, the Dream Passports.
A smiling Clockie face was printed on them. Besides serving as room cards, they also worked as souvenirs, identification, smart navigation devices, and provided access to various reference materials.
After getting their passports and learning a few things they needed to know, the large group took the elevator to find their rooms.
But the elevator obviously couldn't take everyone directly to their rooms. After getting out, they still had to walk quite a long way through the guest room area. Even Welt couldn't help complaining that the hotel was unbelievably huge.
Among the group, a few people had an easier time getting around.
Clara could simply sit on Svarog's arm and let him carry her, though she obviously wouldn't ask for that.
Huohuo could be carried through the air by Tail. That stubborn heliobus would most likely claim it was just a prank.
Nero and Yanqing could fly on their swords instead of walking.
As everyone walked, the sound of photos being taken came from behind them. Little Guizi seemed to have completely immersed herself in the joy of traveling.
She was probably taking pictures now to show off to her fans that a friend had invited her to Penacony. After a while, she might even start another livestream.
Before long, everyone arrived at the guest room lobby. The moment she stepped inside, Stelle froze for a second. A familiar feeling flashed through her mind.
But it quickly passed, and she followed everyone else to find her room.
Meanwhile, the two adults, Welt and Himeko, stayed behind in the lobby for a moment. After all the youngsters had run off, Himeko looked at Welt.
"Welt, shall we have a drink first? Penacony's SoulGlad is quite famous."
Welt sat down on an empty sofa nearby.
"...Go ahead. We might be thinking about the same thing."
