Three days passed. During these three days, many things happened across the three worlds—at least for the protagonists of those three worlds.
In these three days, Stelle and March 7th attended Tingyun's funeral; Belle and Wise exposed the conspiracy of Vision Corp; and Kiana was forced by Mei and Bronya to memorize books in the library.
{The three-day period has passed. Welcome back, Dragon King!}
〘Aha〙: This light screen truly brings me joy! Hahahahahaha.
〘Aha〙: Start it quickly. Let me see if there's any fun to be had in Penacony?
〘Hanabi〙: I know something~
〘Stelle〙: Speaking of which, is our next stop going to Penacony to attend the Charmony Festival?
〘Himeko〙: That's right. We were supposed to go last time, but someone ended up taking us to the Xianzhou instead.
〘Kafka〙: The script was written that way. If you want to blame someone, blame Elio.
〘Elio〙: ?????
{Alright, to help you understand Penacony, we will first play a short video introducing the place.}
[ Now playing—Penacony Trailer, personally introduced by Mr. Sunday ]
『 A chibi bird appeared on the screen. He took off his hat and bowed to the audience, saying: "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."
"Welcome to the Family's Charmony Festival press conference."
"I am your host, Owlbert." 』
『 ....』
〘Owlbert〙: Eh? Me?
〘Carmella〙: Senior Owlbert, you made it! You've hit the big time!
〘Scott〙: Why does even a bird get to make a name for itself?
....
『 "The grand ceremony that occurs only once every Amber Era, the Charmony Festival, is fast approaching. The eyes of the universe are focused on the Planet of Festivities, Penacony."
"Tonight, we will bring you the latest updates regarding this Charmony Festival."
"First, let us welcome with applause the organizer of this Charmony Festival, the Family's spokesperson in Penacony, Mr. Sunday."
Owlbert extended a wing toward a chibi Sunday sitting on the sofa opposite him. 』
『 ....』
〘Silver Wolf〙: I'm certain it's a game now. This is completely a chibi animation preview made to save costs.
〘Bronya Zaychik〙: Indeed, Bronya agrees with this viewpoint.
〘Robin〙: Brother looks quite cute like this.
....
『 Sunday smiled at the audience: "Hello everyone, I am Sunday."
"Welcome, Mr. Sunday. Your presence brings light to this small studio," Owlbert flattered.
Sunday smiled upon hearing this. 』
『 ....』
〘Scott〙: You dead bird, is this how you climbed your way up?
....
『 "Mr. Owlbert flatters me. Thanks to the invitation from Interastral Peace Entertainment, I have this opportunity to introduce the upcoming festival and its venue, Penacony, to everyone in front of the screen."
As Sunday finished speaking, the red curtain behind them rose, revealing the scenery of Penacony. 』
『 ....』
〘Nicole〙: What a luxurious place. If only… hehe.
〘Belle〙: You really are thinking about scavenging stuff at all times…
〘Qingque〙: I heard it's a great place for a vacation. I'll go check it out when I have time.
〘Fu Xuan〙: Hmm? Aren't you supposed to be working in the library?
〘Qingque〙: Ahahaha, Guinaifen sent that just now, it has nothing to do with me.
〘Guinaifen〙: Fam, I'm performing acrobatics on the street right now…
〘Elysia〙: Wow♪, the style here suits you so well, Eden. You'd definitely look amazing taking a photo here♪.
〘Eden〙: It is indeed as dazzling as gold.
....
『 Sunday began introducing Penacony: "Penacony is located in the Asdana star system. It has long been famous throughout the universe as a vacation resort, earning the reputation of the 'Planet of Festivities'."
"For this festival, all guests will stay at the Reverie Hotel. Here, you will be able to travel between reality and the Dreamscape, enjoying a sweet dream that belongs solely to you." 』
『 ....』
〘Kiana Kaslana〙: Sounds like fun.
〘Otto Apocalypse〙: This kind of technology? If it could be applied to my Kallen Fantasy, wouldn't it…?
〘Amber〙: Overseer, please do not waste funds on that game anymore.
〘Nagamitsu〙: So my research budget was cut again and again because of a game?
....
『 "I'm curious, how is this festival different from previous ones?" Owlbert asked.
"The Charmony Festival is a tradition of Penacony with a long history. Building upon that, we have taken a significant step forward," Sunday replied with a smile.
"For the first time, the Family of Penacony has publicly sent invitations to various factions across the galaxy, welcoming everyone to join this grand ceremony."
"All members of Penacony's Five Lineages and the entire staff of the Reverie Hotel will work as one to await the arrival of guests from across the universe." 』
『 ....』
〘Duke Inferno Ifrit〙: I shall bring destruction to Penacony.
〘Stelle〙: Who's this?
〘Dan Heng〙: He is the leader of the Annihilation Gang's Ever-Flame Mansion, Ifrit. But the Family actually sent him an invitation?
〘March 7th〙: Annihilation Gang?
〘Dan Heng〙: A group of clowns who worship Destruction but can never catch Nanook's gaze. People say they are less attractive to Nanook than a baby smashing a cup.
〘Duke Inferno Ifrit〙: Waste your breath here while you can. The galaxy will soon welcome the destruction we bring, and Penacony is just our first step.
....
『 "I heard that your sister, the galaxy-renowned superstar Miss Robin, will also be performing at this festival?" Owlbert asked the next question.
Sunday nodded and replied: "Correct. During this festival, Robin will sing an ode to the Aeon of Harmony in the name of the Family, opening the prelude to the ceremony."
As Sunday spoke, the screen behind him changed to an image of Robin.
"My sister has already arrived in Penacony and is currently immersed in intense rehearsals, hoping to present a perfect performance for all the guests." 』
『 ....』
〘Astra Yao〙: A galaxy-renowned singer? I'd really like to ask for some advice.
〘Robin〙: Are you a singer as well?
〘Belle〙: Yao Jiayin is a super amazing diva from New Eridu. I'm a big fan of hers.
〘Lieserl Albert Einstein〙: The Aeon of Harmony?
〘·HSR· Welt Yang〙: In this universe, there are several Aeons. They are the incarnations of certain philosophical concepts. The Aeon of Harmony, Xipe, is the Aeon representing the concept of Harmony.
〘Aha〙: Nous is a hunk of scrap metal, Qlipoth is a blockhead, Lan has no sense of humor, and Nanook is just a lunatic, haha! Aeons are all so stubborn, Aha feels so slighted. My dear friend, Akivili, where are you?
〘Pam〙: Akivili is not your friend! You are the worst Nameless ever!
〘Aha〙: The Conductor saying that makes Aha feel so slighted.
〘Stelle〙: Why is Aha called the worst Nameless?
〘Dan Heng〙: Because He once disguised Himself as an ordinary person and lurked on the Express for years. Finally, when He found a moment when Akivili and everyone else were away, He blew the train into two sections.
〘Hanabi〙: As expected of the Aeon of Elation.
〘Sampo〙: Praise Aha.
....
『 "Indeed, Miss Robin's participation will undoubtedly make this festival even more brilliant," Owlbert nodded, then looked at Sunday and asked.
"Mr. Sunday, is it convenient to disclose the current state of preparations?"
Sunday nodded and smiled: "All preparations surrounding the festival are proceeding at a feverish pace. The renovation of the Reverie Hotel is nearing completion, and we will further strengthen staff management."
At this moment, the screen showed a blue-haired young boy happily receiving a train ticket. His name was displayed below: Misha. 』
『 ....』
〘March 7th〙: That's a ticket, isn't it?
〘Stelle〙: Yeah, it's a ticket. Did we gain a new member after going to Penacony?
〘Pam〙: No, that's not right. That is a former Nameless, Misha! After helping Penacony's liberation, he chose to stay there with two other Nameless. But he was already a young man back then. Is this his descendant? Also named Misha?
〘Misha〙: Eh? Me? I'm just an employee at the Reverie Hotel. Although I look up to the Nameless, my grandfather wasn't a Nameless; he was a navigator.
〘Gallagher〙: I think I understand a bit now. So that's how it is…
〘Stelle〙: Riddlers, get out of the chatroom!
〘Belle〙: Riddlers, get out of the chatroom!
〘Kiana Kaslana〙: Riddlers, get out of the chatroom!
