Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Sam stared at Huang Quan's face, increasingly confused about her stance:

What is your reason for doing this?

Huang Quan sighed:

“I often forget things, so I’m more used to capturing things through feelings than through memories.”

"so……"

"I know who's inside that cold armor."

Seeing Sam stunned, Huang Quan spoke:

"So, are you willing to take off your armor and talk?"

Sam refused:

"It's not the right time yet."

"I don't need help, but I can give you a suggestion that will be better for both of us."

While waiting in the underworld, Sam proposed:

"If your goal is [the watchmaker's legacy], then investigate the family."

“They not only concealed the existence of [death], but also buried the past and truth of the dream.”

Huang Quan nodded slightly:

“I’m already doing that.”

Sam added:

"—And, the Star Train is not your enemy."

"I know that too," Huang Quan said calmly.

"I didn't expect that you, as his second uncle, would care about him so much."

"Second Uncle..." Sam took a deep breath:

"To be honest, I don't like this title."

"He and I should be equals."

Huang Quan looked at Sam and asked:

"what's next?"

"He was taken away by the Black Swan. Are you going to go find him?"

“There’s no need for that,” Sam said in a deep voice.

"...It's alright to tell you."

"Eriol gave me only one instruction."

"—Let the Star Train chase after [the grand legacy] together."

“I tried to resolve this in a simpler and more direct way, but as you can see… I’m standing here confronting you.”

"I failed."

"[The script] is irreversible."

Huang Quan slightly opened his mouth:

"[What is called impossible is simply something that has not yet happened]..."

"...That's all."

Before we part, may I ask you one more question?

Under Sam's gaze, Huang Quan asked the question he most wanted to ask:

Is there any part about me in your [script]?

"I want to know, in the future foreseen by fate... what kind of mark [I] have left?"

Sam paused for a moment, then replied:

"Unfortunately, not a word was mentioned."

"..." Huang Quan took a deep breath:

"...Not surprising."

……

Dreamland.

Golden moment.

In front of the Clockwork Boy statue.

March 7th pondered:

"Is the family trying to cover up Miss Robin's death now?"

"If this gets out, Pinocchio will be in chaos."

“Indeed.” Walter looked at Yan Huan and said in a deep voice:

"From the message Yan Huan brought, it can be seen that the company envoy's reasons for accusing Miss Huang Quan are also quite subtle."

"In short, let's try to gather information and list as many possibilities as possible."

"By eliminating the contradictions one by one, the fewer facts remain, the more likely they are to be the truth."

"But... I have a feeling."

“Even after all that has happened, we are still caught in the vortex of [heritage].

March 7th nodded slightly:

"This time we're going to play the role of a great detective for real."

"But how should we view the family and the company before the investigation begins?"

Himeko smiled faintly:

"In my opinion, the family has no ill intentions toward the Star Train."

"If we hadn't trusted the train crew's character, they wouldn't have just verbally dissuaded us from entering the Dream Hotel."

"Besides, this is family territory, so we might as well talk to them again."

"As for the placer gold..."

Himeko looked at Welt and smiled faintly:

"Walter, I'd like to hear your opinion."

“This person is not simple.” Walter pushed up his reflective glasses and said in a deep voice like Conan:

“He deliberately adopted a humble attitude during his negotiations with Yan Huan, but his words were constantly leading her to make suggestive remarks.”

"He gave a convincing explanation both logically and emotionally."

“In the current uncertain situation, it is not a bad thing to establish more connections.”

“With just a few words, Sand Gold demonstrated his shrewdness; as long as interests align, he can become a reliable ally.”

Walter paused for a moment, then addressed the crowd:

"We must also be careful about our distance from our families and never get too close."

"Partnering with the company is a way to maintain balance; if either party has ulterior motives, we will have the opportunity to withdraw."

Himeko nodded slightly:

"So you're suggesting we should treat everyone equally?"

“Yes,” Walter acknowledged.

"While potential risks certainly exist... we can only make further judgments after all parties have clarified their intentions."

Listening to the two of them arguing, March 7th couldn't help but feel a headache coming on:

"...I understand the reasoning."

"But there are too many bad women and bad men here, I'm really worried about being betrayed."

"Wait, what's with that expression?"

Seeing that Yan Huan remained silent and seemed somewhat guilty, March 7th said disdainfully:

"You're not hiding something from us, are you?"

"Um... ah?"

Yan Huan squatted on the ground, looked up, and said with an awkward laugh:

"how come……!"

"I've always been a very meticulous person!"

Ji Zi: “…”

Walter: "..."

Under the three men's persistent questioning, Yan Huan finally told the truth.

March 7th's eyes widened:

"Wait...you agreed to help the gold mines a long time ago?"

"How much embezzled money did you receive?!"

"Not much... just a little bit."

"A little bit?"

"Yes, just a little bit!"

Yan Huan raised her hands:

"It's really only a tiny bit!"
