Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 171 Starry Sky Two's First Encounter

A whole day has passed since they summoned Sora, and Kakawa and Sora have become quite skilled at their dance moves.

Everyone was busy with their own things.

Like asking for tips in a coffee shop... rummaging through the trash can... finding the cornerstone... tasting fine wine... browsing luxury stores.

After Qiong finished her training, she finally had the chance to relive the joyful days of rummaging through trash in Pinocchio.

You should know that Pinocchio's trash cans are quite luxurious.

Who knows, there might be a priceless diamond hidden inside!
However, while he was rummaging through the trash can, he saw a gray-haired, yellow-eyed man dressed in clothes that resembled his own.

The girl rummaging through the trash can also noticed his gaze and looked at him.

Looking at the other person, who resembled her in some ways, yet was also somewhat different.

Qiong roughly guessed that the person in front of her was him from this time and space.

But Xing doesn't think so. She believes that the other person is her fan who is specifically cosplaying her and learning her behavior.

"Uh, hello." Qiong responded very politely.

"Your cosplay is so realistic." Xing smiled and gave it a thumbs up.

Qiong was taken aback by that statement.

He hadn't expected that his other self would think this way, somewhat...

Like him in the past.

The difference between the two is immediately apparent: one has clearly matured after several pioneering journeys, while the other remains somewhat naive.

When the two of them stood together, they gave the impression of being like a brother and sister.

A mature older brother and a naive younger sister. (Originally, it was a protective older sister and a chuunibyou (delusional) younger brother.)

"Is it possible... that I am another version of you?" Qiong asked, scratching her head.

"Another me?" Xing looked closely at the dome in front of her, somewhat puzzled.

The person in front of me was dressed very similarly to me, and had gray hair and yellow eyes.

After the star circled the sky once...

“Are you really another me? Then why are you a boy?” Xing asked.

"I don't know either," Qiong said, indicating her confusion.

The two then squatted down next to the trash can, pondering why Xing was a girl and Qiong was a boy.

The conclusion was that the two Kafkas from different time periods chose different routes.

Then they started arguing about who was the biggest.

Ultimately, based on Qiong's reasoned and well-founded deductions...

He became the younger brother.

Just kidding, when it comes to being shameless, Qiong can't compare.

In terms of abstraction, it is much more exaggerated than the current dome.

Even in terms of strength, he is far superior to Qiong. (Referring to the Flame Spear transforming into Heavenly Fire and the Hunting Destiny)
[Note: At this point, Sora already has memories of her destiny, but Mimi can't come out due to some circumstances. You can guess why.]

Therefore, Xing directly and forcibly made Qiong the younger brother.

Even if the other person has more experience and a longer memory than you.

"Sister, what should we do now?" Qiong asked, rubbing her slightly protruding head.

"Of course, we'll keep rummaging through the trash!" Xing replied, continuing to search the trash can. "I heard that Sister Pado found some good stuff in the trash can! I want to try too!"

"Wow, she's really lucky. I was lucky enough to find a rare 'pretty junk' and a bunch of EDIEN tokens in Pinocchio before."

"Pretty trash?! I don't have any of that yet! Can I take a look? I was rummaging through the trash cans in Belleburg before, but March took them all away, and the trash cans in Xianzhou don't have anything good." Xing said with a beaming face.

"Sigh... Me too. That pretty piece of junk was thrown away by March not long after I got it," Qiong said with a dejected look.

"Don't even mention you, me too. I found a lot of good stuff before, but San-yue lectured me," Hoshino said helplessly. "She even said things like, 'Don't even think about sleeping in my room until you throw it away,' do you think I'm that kind of person? So in the end, I had no choice but to throw away all my treasures..."

"Huh? You can sleep with March?" Qiong said in shock.

"Of course, otherwise I'd sleep on the sofa?" Xing asked Qiong with a speechless expression.

"Sleep on the sofa? Don't we have our own separate room?" Qiong voiced her doubts. "Huh? A separate room?" Xing said in surprise.

"Don't you have one?" Qiong was even more puzzled when she heard Xing's surprised tone.

“I sleep with March and Sister Aili, I don’t have my own room at all. There are quite a few people on the train now, but because there aren’t enough rooms and most people don’t plan to rest or sleep, the idea of ​​expanding the rooms has been abandoned,” Xing explained.

"Huh? But I have such a big room all by myself?" Qiong took out her phone and showed photos of her room that she had taken before.

"What?! It's that big?" Xing exclaimed in shock as she looked at the photo on Qiong's phone.

"Hmph, you have no idea that I renovated this room myself! This is the biggest room on the entire train!" Qiong said proudly.

"The biggest room? I remember...aren't all the rooms on the train the same size?" Xing murmured, puzzled. "Where's the biggest one?"

“Uh… it’s that storage room above the party carriage. Pam converted it into my room,” Qiong said, scratching her head.

"Oh...you mean that place? But aren't there many rooms on the train? Why do we need to convert storage rooms into rooms?" Xing voiced her doubts.

"Huh? But when I boarded the train, Pam said there were no rooms available!" Qiong said in shock.

The two, Xingqiong and Xingqiong, looked at each other.

I feel like what the other person said is wrong, but something seems off.

Actually...

The two were on different trains, and more accurately, their experiences were different.

One carriage was destroyed by Aha and only half of it remained; the other carriage was destroyed by Aha and only half of it remained.

and so…

In terms of the number of rooms on the train, Hoshi has more than Kyō, which explains why Kyō lives in the storage room while Hoshi lives in March's room.

Xing actually had her own room, but the other party felt it was unnecessary, and with the subsequent surge in the train's population, the room was given to someone else.

Of course, I didn't ask for a room just so I could get close to the 7th of the third lunar month (feeling guilty).

Anyway, due to some 'butterfly effect', when the Star Train in the Star Universe ran aground for some reason and was encountered by Himeko, it was in a relatively intact state, except that the outer shell was somewhat broken and the rear carriages were somewhat damaged.

This also caused Himeko to recover and step into the Star Sea several years earlier.

However, due to some human intervention, Walter and Void Archives still encountered the Star Train, and Danheng still joined the train crew. March 7th drifted to the vicinity of the train and was picked up.

Then, Ye Tianyu floated onto the train tracks and was hit by the train.

Then comes the Black Tower space station, Star joining the train crew, and the subsequent events.

But these two fools in the Starry Sky, who were in charge, were unaware of this.

Therefore, the two were still arguing about the space on the train.

Little did they know that the trains they were riding were fundamentally different.

"Star, you're rummaging through the trash cans again!" March 7th's angry voice came from afar. "Eh? You're... another Star?"

On March 7th, he also noticed that Qiong looked very similar to Xing, or rather, they were cut from the same mold, and subconsciously thought it was another star.

After all, they look (almost) the same, dress the same, and behave the same.

However, on March 7th, he denied this idea.

"Uh, hello March. My name is Qiong. I'm a star from another time and space, and also a pioneer. I was brought to this world because of some things." Qiong scratched his head and explained his identity and the reason for his arrival.

“Oh, hello there, Sora. It’s nice to meet you,” March 7th replied. “So, what brings you here?”

"Eh? I'm curious too. As the younger brother, shouldn't you answer your older sister's question?" Xing said to Qiong, adopting the role of the older sister.

"Uh... I can't say anything about this yet. You'll find out the details tomorrow." Qiong could only avoid the question when she saw the two of them.

Xinghe and March 7th, seeing Qiong's attempt to cover it up, piqued their curiosity.

They continued to interrogate him relentlessly.

In the end, they only got one piece of information: he was brought over by Ye Tianyu.

Everything else is unknown, or rather, the information is constantly obscured by unexpected situations just as the other party is about to speak.

From then on, the two gave up the idea of ​​continuing the interrogation.

And it was at this time that March 7th explained why he had come to find the stars…
