Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 188 If boys' activities are fighting, then what are girls' activities?

Because of an arm injury, Bai Er was unable to continue sparring.

Therefore, today's sparring session has to end here.

Of course, it's not completely over...

Because a blond, orange-haired, half-naked man challenged Kevin to a fight.

Unfortunately, this battle will have to be postponed slightly…

The stone platform was damaged in the battle just now and is no longer usable. It will take several days to replace and repair it.

Of course, one could rely on the miracle of Oronis, but that would require immense power. (After all, the stone platform is large, and the power needed to rewind it is considerable.)
Repairing this requires the help of auxiliary items.

However, it's obvious that there aren't any of those support items around here.

Therefore, the group could only go up after the others had finished using the stone platform.

However, not long afterward, one of the many stone platforms became empty.

The two stood on the stone platform and fought.

"Go Wan Di! You absolutely have to win!"

"Heh, that's for sure!" The man named Wan Di spoke with confidence and arrogance, but his eyes showed no provocation or contempt. Instead, he looked intently at his opponent.

He had just watched the fight between Kevin and Bai Er.

The fight between the two in front of him was less of a fight and more of Kevin feeding Bai Er sparring.

Moreover, when Bai E used all his strength to hit Kevin, Kevin only got a little dust on the hem of his clothes.

Having watched the battle from beginning to end, I felt a desire to challenge such a powerful opponent.

Kevin, on the other hand, felt awkward stopping now because he was on a hot streak.

This is what spurred the battle.

The two stood still for a long time, observing each other's movements.

Ultimately, Wan Di made the first move to probe the enemy's defenses.

But Kevin immediately blocked the attack.

Kevin only blocked and did not attack.

It wasn't until Wan Di finished probing and unleashed a combo attack that the enemy was able to finish.

Wan Di saw that his attacks could not break through his defenses.

We had no choice but to resort to a rather reckless approach.

A direct trade of injuries!

Continue with another attack.

Kevin also counterattacked during the gaps in the opponent's attacks.

Wan Di was injured by the punch, but his attack also landed on the opponent's body at the same time as the opponent counterattacked.

"Not bad. Although you're a bit weaker in strength, your combat skills are far superior to Bai E's," Kevin praised. "When I counterattacked during the gaps in my attacks, you withstood the attacks and then countered yourself. However, your fighting style will be very difficult against enemies using ranged attacks or poison to fight you in a guerrilla style. You could try learning to use some ranged weapons, so that you won't be left without a way to deal with those kinds of enemies, or you could bring a teammate with ranged abilities with you on future missions."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance," Wan Di said gratefully.

“However, I’m just offering some advice; the rest is up to you. After all, I don’t fight with my fists, but with a greatsword. If you’re interested in physical training, you can go find Qian Jie, um, that guy who always wears a mask,” Kevin said. “Besides, your fighting styles are actually quite similar; you might want to discuss it with him.”

"I see... I understand." Wan Di thought for a moment and replied to Qian Jie's expression.

After seeing what the boys are doing, let's see what the girls are up to. Well, they're shopping, eating snacks, enjoying the scenery, and taking photos.

While shopping, the group encountered a girl with light purple hair and a shorter girl with pink hair.

The group got along very well and decided to travel together for a while.

Through conversation, they got to know each other and learned that the girl with light purple hair was named Xia Die, and the shorter girl with pink hair was named Xi Lian.

They also learned that Xia Die is blessed with "death" and cannot touch others at will. She can only come into contact with living beings under specially made gloves that can isolate the blessing.

They also learned that Xi Lian was from the same hometown as Bai E and that they were childhood sweethearts.

One of them was searching for the reason why he was the "savior," while the other wanted to become a saint of Oronis to learn more knowledge and return to Elimish to provide more help to the residents there.

Meanwhile, Xing, who has a straightforward personality, asked Xi Lian after they met if she had seen anyone who looked like her, which also revealed that the person who looked like her was their partner who had gone missing before.

However, the answer obtained was Xi Lian's thinking, and the result of her thinking was 'no'.

This extinguished the glimmer of hope that had been raised.

Indeed, similarities exist in this world, and it's not uncommon to encounter people who look alike, especially given how vast this universe is.

So we decided to stop thinking about it and went shopping together.

Although Xia Die and Xi Lian are not biological sisters, their relationship is far better than that of biological sisters.

Xia Die is like a caring older sister, while Xi Lian is like a spoiled younger sister.

If it were Qiong seeing this, she would definitely scream.

"You really are Xia Die??? Where did your aura of 'keep away' go? How did you suppress your curse? Who made these amazing gloves?!"

"And who are you??? Why are you so close to Xia Die?!"

Hmm, if it were Sora in her second playthrough...

"Xi Lian, didn't you turn into Mimi?! How come you're walking on the earth in human form in this world, in this cycle of reincarnation?!"

Yeah... that's about it.

However, Xing, as a "first playthrough" 'player', is unaware of all this.

I'm just happy that I've made a few more interesting friends.

"Sister Pado, try this, it's really delicious!" Xi Lian recommended a dessert to Mei Yi.

"Oh? Since Xilian says it's delicious, we have to try it." Pado ordered the dessert after hearing Xilian's recommendation. "Eh?! But this is so expensive! Xilian, is it really okay for me to order this? Can your wallet really handle it?"

"Hmm...don't worry. My parents gave me a lot of pocket money before I left home, plus the extra money I earned from my part-time job, hmm! It's enough!" Xi Lian said, calculating her money.

“Uh… Xi Lian, how about we pay for it ourselves? Hmm… let me look… this should be usable as collateral, right?” Pa Duo said.

"Huh? I didn't expect Xiaodie and Xiaolian to be here too!" A rather childish voice said with a hint of surprise.

"Huh? Teacher Tibao? I didn't expect you to be here too?" Xi Lian was a little shocked to see Tibao, not expecting her to appear here.

“Yes, we came here to find them,” Tibo explained.

"They've come to see us? Could it be... that Ms. Aglaia wants to see us?" Bronya asked after a moment's thought.

“No! We heard from Aya that you were shopping here, and we thought you might need a guide, so we came to help! But now that Xiaodie and Xiaolian are here, it seems we're not needed anymore!” Tibao explained. “Oh! Right, we just remembered you don't have any Liheng coins. We forgot to remind you that the currency here can be converted proportionally thanks to the power of the ‘Law’.”

"Huh?! So credits can be used here?! I thought it wouldn't work because it wasn't connected to the Star Network!" Pado said in surprise.

　Isn't this chapter interesting? (doge)
