[Ying: That's right!]

[Star: I believe in fireflies too!]

Even if Liu Ying did hide something, she believed that Liu Ying did not do it to harm her.

It was an intuition she didn't know where it came from.

[Otto: I find Gallagher more suspicious than Firefly.]

Chapter 77 When Xing Spends All of His Girlfriend's Secret Stash (4k)

[The firefly led the star to the plaza outside the shopping mall: "Here you'll find most of Pinocchio's signature dishes, like clockwork pizza, oakwood cake rolls, alfalfa salad... and classic Sorida! Pick whatever you like, it's on me!"]

Xing, her face full of gratitude, said, "Thank you, you're so kind!"

[Firefly: "Hehe, you're welcome."]

[The screen also displayed the prop description for Firefly's budget—the little bit of private money left of Firefly, a new artist from the Iris family. Since it belongs to someone else, she should use it sparingly.]

After some searching, Xing bought a pizza and decided to share it with Liuying.

[Firefly: "Have you ordered? I'll pay now. I love this shop's oak-smoked cake roll; I eat one every day."]

Xing asked curiously, "Is your wallet okay?"

[Liu Ying's voice suddenly lowered: "Well, so you can only eat one a day..."]

[Paimon: A cake I eat every day sounds delicious!]

[Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway] Himeko: The Oak Cake Roll isn't the kind of delicious food you're thinking of.

[March 7th: Himeko-neechan, is there something wrong with this cake?]

[Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway] Himeko: On some outlying planets, the poor would add sawdust to their bread to ensure they had enough to eat. This practice later became a quirk of the wealthy class, used to express a longing for the past. As far as I know, oak-wood cake rolls are a product of this quirk, containing a large amount of plant-based additives, and resembling a piece of oak in both appearance and composition.

[Topaz: A plant-based additive; it just sounds nice, but it's actually just oak sawdust.]

[Golden Sands: Indeed, many believe that only the most ambitious and persevering individuals can successfully devour it. Politicians from the Oak family often eat it without batting an eye, considering it a sign of courage.]

[March 7th: So, actually, this cake isn't very tasty; on the contrary, it's hard to swallow... But even eating a cake like this is a rare treat for Firefly every day.]

[Star: Waaaaah, Firefly is so good to me! When I meet her again, I'm going to treat her to cake until she's stuffed! I'm also going to let her taste and critique all the delicious food in the universe!]

Just hearing the description of the oak cake roll made Xing feel like her heart had been shattered. Would eating this cake increase the shattering effect?

Come to think of it, why didn't I secretly buy a piece of cake that Liuying likes while she was leading the way, and put it in my bag to surprise her?

[Bai Lu: Remember to remove soda-flavored soy milk from your food!]

[Yu Kong: Not everyone dislikes soy milk. Perhaps Liu Ying will like the taste of soy milk, just like my daughter.]

[After this, the screen paused the playback of the story and inserted a new video—"When your girlfriend treats you and you order all the dishes."]

In this video, Xing doesn't hold back and spends the entire budget of Liuying without hesitation.

Looking at Xing's choice, Liu Ying was momentarily speechless: "Ah, this...this..."

Her expression was extremely troubled, her voice trembled, and she looked like she was about to cry: "Have you already ordered? You...you have good taste! Haha...then, then I'll pay the bill..."

[Silver Wolf: I remember this was one possibility in Elio's script.]

[Kiana: Eriol still remembers this from his script?!]

[March 7th: Based on my understanding of Xing, both her previous choice and this current one are things she is capable of doing.]

[Star: I deserve to die.]

Compared to this version of myself who spent all of Liu Ying's money, the version of myself who shared pizza with Liu Ying was practically a saint.

She spent all her money on fireflies and had no money to buy small cakes, so she pitifully went to pay the bill and then came back to watch herself eat them. It was so heartbreaking.

I wonder if, after making this choice, I see Liuying like this and when I wake up at night, I'll slap myself and say, "I deserve to die."

She suddenly understood how Dr. Truth felt when he heard that Sand Gold had not received preschool education.

[Aha: My friend, you've used up all of her hard-earned 20,000 credits—her only daily indulgence—on food! Miss Trailblazer, those 20,000 credits must have been a hot potato, didn't they? Did they burn through your pride?]

[Fireworks: Tsk tsk, that's 2 credits! Even Sandstone, a senior employee of the company, only gave you 1 credits as a gift at first, and then gave you an extra 1 because he thought you were interesting.]

[Wendy: She's such a good girl. She shares what she likes to eat with you, and even though she saves money every day to eat cakes that aren't very tasty, she's still willing to let you spend the money she's worked so hard to save. Especially the embarrassment she feels after you've spent all her savings is both heartbreaking and adorable.]

[Hu Tao: Oh, my friend, can you imagine—there's a girl whose eyes sparkle with a radiant light when she looks at you. She'll play with you, chat with you, and even if the time spent together is short, even if you don't know each other well, you can still feel her unconditional attention and affection.]

[Otto: The unwelcome girl met you, who arrived by train, and in that moment, she found redemption for her entire life.]

[Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway] Himeko: It's okay. Although Hotaru looked a little embarrassed after you spent all 20,000 credits, she must be incredibly happy and proud to see you enjoying the food so much.

[Qingque: How come you guys suddenly put pressure on the star so tacitly? You're all so mean.]

[March 7th: Yeah, and it feels like the cruelest blow was actually delivered by Himeko, who was trying to comfort Hoshi.]

[Kaeya: Isn't your conversation also putting pressure on the planet?]

[Star: Quack! Stop talking!]

She felt a pang of guilt creeping up her spine. What was she thinking, having spent all the money meant for fireflies?

This is 2 credits. Although both are 2 credits, the difference between 2 for Sand Gold and 2 for Firefly is huge.

Did she think that after spending all of Liuying's money, she could find an excuse to treat Liuying to a meal to pay it back, and then use her own savings to treat Liuying to a good meal?

[Kafka: When you have the opportunity to make a choice, don't let yourself regret it.]

[Fireworks: It's alright. Even if the stars aren't all used up, this poor little girl probably won't need them in the future anyway.]

[Star: You bastard!]

After leaving the square, Firefly took Star to see some of the city's famous attractions: the Clockwork Boy statue, the Pinocchio Theatre, and Adrian Park. She also helped Star collect the tokens needed to ride the amusement park rides.

After having some fun, Firefly asked Star to come closer and told him that someone was following him, describing the stalker's characteristics in very precise language.

[Seemingly realizing he had been discovered, someone Xing recognized very well approached—it was Sambo.]

According to Sambo himself, his presence here was thanks to the train crew; the star core obstructing navigation had been removed by the train crew, leaving Yalilo-VI wide open.

[It's worth mentioning that Sangbo mistook the fireflies for March 7th.]

After clearing up the misunderstanding, old Sambo decided to act as a guide, showing the two of them the adult world.

[Star: What a pity. I thought Firefly wanted me to get close to her so she could do something intimate, but it turns out she just wanted to be with Sambo.]

[Sambo: Isn't it something to be happy to see old friends in a new place?]

He recognized Hanabi's disguise at a glance.

Although he didn't approve of Hanabi's aesthetic of pleasure, he was still willing to help cover it up.

[March 7th: After resolving the Star Core crisis, Yarilo-VI will indeed reconnect with interstellar space, and Sambo's appearance in Pinocchio isn't entirely impossible, but why do I always feel that his identity is not simple?]

[Gold Sand: His identity is certainly not simple. Not just anyone can get into Pinocchio, especially at such an important time as the Harmonious Festival is about to take place. There are plenty of people in the galaxy who want to go there.]

[Gold Sand: At least, a merchant on a planet affected by a stellar core for 700 years couldn't do that, am I right, my foolish friend?]

[Sambo: Oh dear, although I knew my identity as old Sambo couldn't be hidden for long, it was exposed way too quickly.]

[Fireworks: Hehehe, this is quite amusing, isn't it?]

[(Honkai Impact: Star Railway) Seele: Sambo! You're actually the Masked Fool?!]

[Sambo: Wait, don't rush to accuse me. Although I, old Sambo, did conceal my identity, I didn't do anything to harm Beloberg. On the contrary, I brought a lot of supplies to the lower districts!]

[Natasha: I really have Mr. Sambo to thank for that.]

[Black Tower: As a Fool, where has your mask gone?]

[Sambo: I'll keep that a secret for now, Sambo.]

[Jepard: No, you've all mistaken him. This person is definitely not Sambo.]

[Silva: Hey bro, are you sure? Sambo already admitted he's the Masked Fool.]

[Jepard: I'm sure Sambo isn't like that.]

[Sambo: As expected of a garrison commander, you really understand me.]

He will indeed cover for Hanabi, but only for a short time.

[Star: Thinking about it carefully, Sambo wouldn't call me "darling."]

[March 7th: Come to think of it, it's strange that he mistook the firefly for me. Although we now know that the merchant's identity was just Sambo in disguise, he's been in business for so long, he wouldn't mistake someone for someone else.]

[Xingqiu: Liuying's ability to describe Sambo's characteristics so accurately clearly indicates she's no ordinary artist. Now, with the addition of an unknown person posing as Sambo, the suspense in Pinocchio is only getting heavier.]

[(Helpless: Star Railway) Welt Yang: If I remember correctly, Firefly claimed to be from the Iris family... Iris...]

When it comes to irises, he has one point that he is particularly interested in—Rakshasa has many iris-related elements.

Although Rakshasa claimed he wasn't Otto, Walter instinctively gathered a lot of information about him during this time because of his appearance.

One intelligence report states that Rakshasa occasionally mentions the words "demon," "church," and "madness," which suggests that he may be related to the Knights of the Cleansing Church.

Walter remembered that the word "[Order]" was printed on the heels of the boots worn by those knights.

The Star God of Order was swallowed up by the Star God of Harmony, and Pinocchio is now Harmony's territory... Perhaps the game hidden beneath the beautiful surface of Pinocchio's dream is bigger than anyone imagines.

Sambo first let Xing experience the Little Hanu activity, and then let Xing experience his personalized dream bubble.

[It was a dream bubble that told the story of the garbage cans living in Beloborg, led by Star, rebelling against Sambo, the king of garbage.]

Just as the giant trash can that Xing had transformed into was about to hit Sambo, Firefly called a halt to this absurd performance.

[Kiana: So this is the adult world. Abstract, so very abstract.]

Just looking at the content of this dream bubble made her feel like her cerebellum was shrinking.

[Padoflis: The scene in the opening theme "Sleepless Night" where the trash can and Sambo were punching each other actually originated from here, and that giant trash can was actually a star-transformed form?!]

[Fischl: Pioneering the Path of Heaven and Earth! Ultimate True Form!]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Seele: This trash can called Satana... isn't it just Natasha backwards?]

[Pam: Dreams are always the opposite, which makes perfect sense, Pam.]
