Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"I know that. Yan Huan mentioned it before. There's a really spectacular fountain here!"

Following the sound of flowing water, the group arrived at the upper corridor of the banquet hall.

A towering and magnificent fountain stands here.

"[The pool water is like a jewel, set in the dreams of all who set sail.]"

Misha gazed at the fountain and murmured:

"[In every day of wandering, gazing at the glimmers of light beneath the waves, I feel as if I've returned here, returned to your side...]"

Seeing this, Yan Huan continued to speculate:

"This is what your grandfather, the watchmaker, said, right?"

"Perhaps it means... that after he arrived in Pinocchio, he missed his other companions on the train?"

Misha looked at Yan Huan and explained:

"These are words that Mikhail wrote in his logbook."

"Grandpa said that although going out to sea is dangerous, whenever he stands on the deck in the afternoon and looks at the sparkling waves on the sea, he always thinks of the fountain in front of his house."

"He often said that at that moment it felt like he was back with his family, and even the toughest days at sea didn't feel so hard anymore."

Himeko comforted him:

"Perhaps every adventurer who is far from home has such a fountain in their heart."

Even though the other side of the sea is full of unknowns, the fountain at the door of the house is Grandpa's compass, always guiding him back to the loved ones he misses.

Misha nodded slightly:

"yes……"

“When Mikhail was home, we would stand by the fountain and put the [Compass] – a toy boat I made myself – into the pool.”

“Back then, I would ask him when I could embark on an adventure like him.”

“Mikhail always said with a smile, ‘The child is too young.’”

After listening to Misha's account, March 7th looked at Yan Huan with some disappointment:

"It seems that this [Mikhail] is indeed a navigator, and has nothing to do with the [clockmaker] we know."

"how is this possible?"

Yan Huan shrugged:

"Come on, Misha already knows the Watch Boy, how could his grandfather not be related to the watchmaker?"

"If you ask me, Mikhail simply compiled his pioneering experiences into a nautical log and told it to Misha."

March 7th frowned and said:

"According to Xiaomisha, Mikhail is clearly someone born on an ocean planet who lives an ordinary life."

"It has absolutely nothing to do with Pinocchio. Have you forgotten about that [fountain]?"

Yan Huan looked down on him:

"Perhaps this so-called [fountain] is also symbolic?"

"Or perhaps, while he may have been born on an ocean planet, his so-called voyage was actually about boarding a star train and leaving."

"[The Compass] is still the Star Train."

"Thus, it is clear that what he longs for is his true ocean planet, which is his homeland."

March 7th blinked:

"You mean, much of the other information is metaphorical?"

Yan Huan looked at the boy beside her:

"Ask Misha, his memory is actually already returning, right?"

Misha shook her head, somewhat bewildered:

"I-I don't know either."

"But memories really do come rushing up uncontrollably, like water from a fountain..."

"Well, maybe if we walk around a bit more, I might remember more...?"

"emmmmm..."

Yan Huan thought for a moment and immediately called a halt.

"How about this, instead of wandering aimlessly?"

"If my guess is correct, then this is the place that will most likely awaken your memories."

Yan Huan snapped her fingers.

In an instant, the surrounding environment underwent tremendous changes.

The four were instantly teleported to a study.

March 7th looked around and asked in confusion:

"The atmosphere in this room is so different."

Just as she was lost in thought, a familiar voice rang out behind her.

"Ah... Misha, you're finally here!"

At the desk in the distance, Clock Boy stood with his hands on his hips, looking very happy to see Misha.

"Clock Kid, so you've been here all along."

Misha ran quickly toward the clock boy, the image in her mind becoming clearer.

"Wait...right."

"It seems like we first met in this very room..."

Himeko also looked around at the bookshelves:

"Are these books covering the wall the logbooks left by the navigator Mikhail?"

Misha turned around and explained to Himeko:

“Every time Mikhail returned from a voyage, he would put a nautical logbook on the bookshelf in his room.”

"This is his record of exploring every corner of the world."

He said, "Our world is like that fountain. We don't know when it started, but the sea is slowly submerging the places where people live."

Chapter 747 Something fishy

"In order to provide everyone with a safer land, Mikhail must continue to go out to sea to explore and find the source of the sea."

Misha recalled:

"That day, he called me into his study and said he was going to go out to sea as usual."

“But I could tell that Grandpa’s expression was very serious. I saw the same expression on Dad’s face before his last voyage.”

"What?" Yan Huan was quite surprised.

"Grandpa is one thing, but you still have your father?"

On March 7th, Yan Huan looked at her and asked:

"Isn't this normal?"

Yan Huan pursed her lips:

"But this is very unusual, which is not what I expected."

“Logically speaking, Misha should be like the Clockwork Boys, so why does she have a father…”

Misha looked at everyone and continued the previous topic:

“At the time, I begged my grandfather to take me with him, but he said that my adventure was not here and told me to stay at home and wait patiently for the sound outside the door.”

March 7th looked completely bewildered.

"what sound?"

Misha raised her head:

“Mikhail said that there is an even more vast ocean in the sky, an ocean of stars.”

"There is a train carrying children who want to go far away, traveling tirelessly through the sea of ​​stars."

“He knows the people in that car, and he will ask them to take me with him. My dream trip... will start here.”

Upon hearing this on March 7th, he immediately perked up:

"A train? Could it be..."

Misha was in a daze:

"That's right, it really is the [Star Train]."

"I...I remember everything now."

“Mikhail’s friends are a group of nameless guests.”

"They came to our world to resolve a disaster caused by a star."

“Then…” Misha looked at the Clock Boy.

“Mikhail gave me his pocket watch.”

"That was his treasure, appearing in every story of setting sail."

He said the days ahead would be tough, but the hands of his pocket watch would guide him.

"As long as I keep taking that step forward, I will definitely be able to reach the place I want to go."

"Then, I think I heard..."
