『 "Oh, so you know her too? Or do you also like Memoria Dynamics?"
"We are very interested in Ms. Razalina's achievements. Would you mind expanding on that?"
Kaimee nodded excitedly upon hearing this, "Why, Of course! She's an excellent scholar of memoria dynamics, and the first person to apply memoria rate measurement methodology on interstellar travelers."
"Regrettably, due to the presence of the Garden of Recollection, ordinary people don't pay much attention to the nature of memoria. She departed this world without much fame, leaving only a few thin journals behind..."
Speaking of this, Kaimee couldn't help but sigh, feeling pity for Razalina's death.
"I came to Penacony because of her reputation, overcoming countless hardships to find Dreamflux Reef, solely because this is where she passed away. Heaven is jealous of heroic geniuses… If Lady Razalina had more time, she would have definitely found a way to reverse the flow of memory!"
"I feel it, the source is right there… in the Golden Hour! There is some kind of abnormal existence there stirring up the currents of the Memory Zone. I must provide a more intuitive proof… I will definitely convince everyone…" Kaimee became increasingly passionate, then ignored everyone, turned around, and looked back at the Great Crater. 』
『 ....』
〘March 7th〙: Golden Hour… Ten system hours… That really seems to be when the Charmony Festival opens.
〘Black Swan〙: Interesting. Is the Family planning something?
....
『 Welt looked at Stelle and asked, "Do you remember the name Razalina?"
Stelle nodded and replied, "Yes, she's one of the Nameless mentioned by the Conductor."
Welt crossed his arms and analyzed, "Indeed. It seems she conducted a large amount of research and calculations in Dreamflux Reef, and then passed away in a hurry."
Hearing their conversation, Misha spoke up, "Miss Kaimee often mentions her. I heard Lady Razalina passed away during the prison war era…"
"If she could see Penacony today, watching everyone build their homes in the Memory Zone… she would definitely be very happy."
"…Perhaps." 』
『 ....』
〘Elysia〙: She definitely would.
〘Pam〙: Razalina… you big liar! Didn't you say you were going to draw a complete map of the dream world? Dying so early, doesn't that mean you didn't even get to see what Penacony, which you all saved, looked like afterward, Pam…"
....
—✦In Between✦—
Seeing Pam wiping away tears after sending the message, the people on the Express didn't know what to do for a moment.
March 7th was the first to break the silence. She gently nudged Dan Heng,
"Dan Heng, go on, go tell a cold joke."
Nudged by her, Dan Heng looked at March 7th speechlessly,
"I don't think doing that will have any effect."
"Oh, then what do you suggest we do?"
March 7th looked at Pam, who was still wiping tears, and stamped her foot in anxiety,
"Are we just going to let Pam keep crying?"
"I'll go."
With that, Himeko walked over to the sad Pam, pulled Pam into her embrace, and sat down at a nearby seat.
Looking at Pam still crying in her arms, she gently stroked Pam's head, softly comforting him.
Seeing that Himeko had stabilized Pam's emotions, everyone returned to their previous seats.
Returning to her seat, March 7th let out a heavy sigh, looked at Stelle, and said,
"That's the first time I've seen Pam so sad. But I understand. If something happened to either you or Dan Heng, I'd definitely be just as sad."
"It won't."
Dan Heng looked at the Jade Abacus of Alliance he had placed on the table.
"That kind of thing won't happen."
"Yeah, yeah, I have two Paths now. I'm super strong; how could anything happen to me?"
Stelle exaggeratedly patted her arm, trying to squeeze out a tiny bit of muscle.
March 7th was completely broken by Stelle's goofy display, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After laughing, she silently thought to herself: Yes, the three of us will definitely keep Trailblazing together, forever.
( That's E9 Line, March! )
Then, she looked at the two of them and smiled,
"Alright, let's keep watching what happens next to prepare for our upcoming trip to Penacony. This time, we know everything in advance, so it's bound to be a very smooth Trailblaze."
"Hey, hey, don't raise flags like that,"
Stelle teased with a smile.
"It's fine. Even if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up, right, Cold Dragon Young?"
March 7th teased, looking at Dan Heng.
Choked by this nickname, Dan Heng was just about to sigh when he was startled by Stelle's loud shout.
"Forget about whatever dragon, you're on screen, March!"
Dan Heng looked speechlessly at the two on the sofa, finally letting out that sigh.
As for Hotaru, after her Entropy Loss Syndrome was cured, seeing that the Express was still parked near the Luofu, she would often disguise herself and go down to play. After all, in the past, she never had this kind of leisure time.
Though her disguise could only be described as a textbook example of burying her head in the sand…
Jing Yuan looked at the photos sent by the Cloud Knights of the Stellaron Hunter Sam appearing in the streets and alleys of the Luofu, even walking alongside the Vidyadhara Healer Lady, and smiled helplessly.
Although Miss Himeko had given him a heads-up beforehand, seeing the famous Sam spending all day wandering the snack streets with Bailu still shocked him a bit. However, thinking about her past identity as an Iron Cavalry of Glamoth, it wasn't so strange.
Besides, having such a strong person by Bailu's side was a good thing, especially since the Preceptors had been making quite a few small moves lately.
Thinking of this, Jing Yuan looked at the light screen and sighed. A turbulent time indeed.
Well, thinking too much wasn't good either. He would leave it to Lady Fu to divine later. Let's keep watching the light screen.
In the Divination Commission, Fu Xuan, who was processing official business while watching the light screen, sneezed for no reason.
"Hmm? I don't have a cold, do I? Truly strange."
Forget it, keep watching. Penacony really is a very exciting next stop.
Let's shift the perspective back to the light screen.

『 After bidding farewell to Kaimee, Misha brought the two of them to the trade district. Just as the three of them arrived, they heard a familiar voice. March 7th's exhausted shouts came from an alleyway.
"Wake up! I'm begging you!"
Hearing the voice, Stelle and Welt quickly walked toward the alley. When they reached the entrance, they found a Pepeshi who seemed scared out of his wits, trembling as he looked fearfully at March 7th, whose face was written all over with exasperation.
"G-Ghost! Don't… don't come over…" The Pepeshi cried out in terror, speaking incoherently.
"Oh, I've told you, I'm a living person, and you're a living person too. Can we please be normal…" March 7th sighed helplessly. At the same time, catching a glimpse of the arriving Stelle and Welt out of the corner of her eye, she immediately turned around, sweeping away her previous gloom, and called out excitedly, "Ah! Uncle Yang, and Stelle! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Then, March 7th explained the current situation to them, "Quick, help me out! I met someone from the Family on the road! He was scared out of his mind, so I just wanted to calm him down. But as a result…" Speaking to this point, March 7th spread her hands helplessly and nudged her chin toward the Pepeshi, letting them see for themselves.
Stelle looked at the Pepeshi, only to see him trembling all over, constantly muttering, "Please let me go, please let me go… I've accumulated virtue and done good deeds all my life; why can't I rest in peace even after I'm dead…"
"…See, he turned out like this." March 7th pointed at the Pepeshi, her face full of innocence. 』
