Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 137 Departure! Heading to the Star of the Grand Event—Pinocconi!
"Wow! What a beautiful older sister!" Klee exclaimed, showering Alicia with compliments. "And she has long ears too! Could Narcida be one of the fairies from the stories?"

“Klee, don’t forget we have long ears too,” Narcida said affectionately to her sister.

"Hey! That's right!" Klee suddenly remembered that she also had ears.

Hi Klee, you're cute too!

"Hehehe! Thank you for the compliment, big sister!" Klee smiled shyly. "But are you an elf too, big sister?"

“Hmm… I guess so? After all, my sister is the Pink Fairy,” Alicia replied.

“Miss Pink Fairy? Fairy… another word I’ve never heard of… but fairies must be elves, right?” Nasita pondered.

“Elves, in this world, the name is a general term. The most common descriptions are creatures with long ears, light-colored hair, and some connection to the World Tree,” Peng Hao added as he walked over.

However, he looked at the four women in front of him.

It's mainly Klee, Narcida, and Bouyle.

"Huh? Aren't those Narcida and Buyer? They have long ears and are related to the World Tree." Klee said, her voice filled with confusion and shock.

“Now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense.” After thinking about it, Buyer agreed. “Actually, Klee is indeed an elf, because Miss Alice is a naturally born elf from Teyvat.”

"Eh~ So Klee is an elf too?" Klee said in surprise.

“There are many beings called elves in that universe. There are the fairies of Teyvatri, the short dwarves who love forging, and the green-skinned goblins—all of them are collectively called elves. Oh, speaking of which, you look more like the Wisdom Clan from the Immortal Ship. They are descendants of the ‘Immortals,’ in other words, they are dragons,” Ye Tianyu chimed in. “It’s a pity Dan Heng isn’t here; otherwise, seeing your appearance, he would most likely think you are descendants of the ‘Immortals’ who were lost to the world.”

"Are you sure he won't have PTSD?" Peng Hao asked.

"Don't worry, the moment he decided to keep the appointment, he was already prepared to bear the sins that come with power," Ye Tianyu said with great satisfaction.

"I see..." Peng Hao nodded in response after hearing Ye Tianyu's words.

"Who is Danheng?" Alicia asked in confusion.

“He was an unnamed passenger on the train. He’s not on the train now, but you’ll see him later,” Ye Tianyu explained.

“Well, I hope she’s a lovely girl,” Alicia said hopefully.

“Miss Ellie, Danheng… is a man. And he is the Heng of perseverance.”

"Eh~ It's a boy. I thought everyone on this train except Mr. Walter was a cute girl."

"Why do you say that?" Ye Tianyu asked, puzzled.

“Look, apart from Mr. Walter, all the people who got out of the car just now were girls,” Alicia explained.

Ye Tianyu pondered.

"That's true, but that doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. For example, I'm also one of the nameless men. There will be others who will travel with us in the future."

"Joasim! You still know how to come back!" A very loud voice was approaching.

"Tesla...?" Walter stammered as he looked at Tesla, who was walking towards him angrily.

After all, his departure was truly without saying goodbye.

And he didn't return for several years after that.

“Tesla… I’m back,” Walter replied, sounding slightly guilty.

Although it wasn't his fault, it's no wonder he felt guilty after not coming back for so long.

Tesla pinched Walter's ear, but not hard. Although he was angry, he was mostly worried about Walter.

"Huh? Why is Tesla here?" Gongsun Ming asked in confusion.

"I called them, what's wrong?" a voice that was clearly that of a child said.

"Theresa? What brings you here?" Gongsun Ming asked, a hint of guilt in his voice.

"Heh, there's not a single person working in the office, but there's a huge crowd gathered here. Do you think I wouldn't know?" Theresa said with a hint of resentment.

"Dean?" Himeko replied instinctively upon hearing the familiar voice.

"Huh? Ah, it's Himeko. Himeko? Huh???? Wait, isn't Himeko...?" Theresa instinctively replied when she saw Himeko greeting her, but then she suddenly remembered that Himeko was no longer there.

Who exactly is this person in front of me...?

"A ghost...a ghost!" Theresa screamed. "Auntie, calm down. Look closely, Aunt Himeko is herself, and she's alive!" Kiana shouted, grabbing Theresa who was about to run away.

“Really? But…but wasn’t she dead? How come she’s here again?” Theresa asked in confusion.

The three starter Pokémon looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

After all, they genuinely didn't know the specifics.

"Well... to put it simply, Himeko has been saved," Gongsun Ming said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh, I see... wait! How was this done? And who resurrected them?" Theresa noticed something suspicious at this point.

All eyes were on Ye Tianyu, who was joining in the fun everywhere.
Meanwhile, Ye Tianyu, who was explaining the knowledge about the elves in the universe to Klee and Narcida, felt many eyes watching him and turned around.

He smiled at them and then continued explaining to them.

"Hello, passengers, please line up in an orderly fashion to board the train. The train will depart in 5 minutes," Pam's voice came over the loudspeaker.

"Oh~ I didn't know this train was structured like this!" Velvet's voice came from the loudspeaker.

“Passenger Vervi, please do not touch any buttons in the driver’s cab!” Pam said, her voice clearly tense.

"Relax, relax, conductor, don't be nervous. I won't break anything," Wilvi said.

"Well, everyone, I think it's time we got on the bus," Ye Tianyu said, listening to Wilvi's words. "Otherwise, we might not be able to get on later."

Everyone looked bewildered, but apart from Wilvi's friends, they immediately understood what Ye Tianyu meant and directed those who didn't know the situation to enter the carriage.

Eventually, about 30 people boarded the train, and the train officially opened the party carriage and other abandoned carriages after a long time.

Previously, because there weren't many people, the party carriage was basically not used. So it was mainly used as a bar.

But now the train has an astonishing 42 passengers (Dan Heng is still on the Immortal Ship), which is slightly less than the highest number of nameless passengers on the Starry Sky Train when Akivili was alive (Fingertip Universe).
However, Pam smiled with satisfaction as she watched the train begin to get lively.

He hadn't seen a train so lively in a long time.

"Please be seated, passengers. The train is about to depart. Especially for passengers born on March 7th, please do not attempt your 'no-fall challenge'!"

"A challenge to not fall? What's that?" Kiana asked, puzzled.

"Oh, because the train will jolt during the jump, and we wanted to test the limits of the human body to see if we could stand firm amidst the jolting. Kiana, do you want to try it too?" March 7 explained.

"Oh! This seems interesting!" Kiana was intrigued by the challenge.

"Aren't we going to do anything about it?" Ye Tianyu asked.

"That's none of your business. You'll learn your lesson once you've suffered," Peng Hao replied.

"Alright," Ye Tianyu said, looking at Peng Hao who was sitting still.

Shortly after everyone was seated, Pam began the countdown, and the train gradually pulled away from Earth. After traveling a certain distance, the train began to turn blue, but…

It didn't resemble the state during a jump; instead, it was a more ethereal blue.

"Hmm? This feels like... quantum?" Peng Hao sensed the power surrounding the train.

"Yes, this is the method I proposed: using the power of quantum mechanics to resist the Honkai energy tide formed by imaginary internal energy," Ye Tianyu explained.

"But... how did you obtain this abundant quantum energy? And both imaginary numbers and quantum mechanics are uncontrollable. Are you sure it's okay to do this?" Peng Hao continued to ask.

"Hehe, it's a secret. But don't worry, everything will be fine." Ye Tianyu didn't plan to tell anyone. After all, there were many people around, and even if they could be trusted, but...

There are plenty of spying creatures in the universe, like Liuguang Yiting and Aha.

Aha: Oh~ Aha hasn't appeared in a long time, but Aha is so happy because there's been so much fun these past few days. But Aha was actually called a peeping tom! Aha is so sad~ Waaaaaahahaha!
Peng Hao frowned, pondering how Ye Tianyu had managed to do it.

"Oh dear, Hao Hao, don't think about it anymore. I'm really afraid your brain will burn out if you keep thinking about it," Alicia said, hugging Peng Hao tightly.

While the group was chatting, the train had already successfully passed through the Honkai energy tidal zone.

The group from Teyvat were stunned by the magnificent scenery outside the world.

To be precise, Klee and Narcida were dumbfounded, while Buyer was pondering just how vast this universe truly was.

However, something unexpected happened...
