Starry Sky Railway: The Warden's Interrogation of Kafka

A snap.

An elderly woman pushed open the door and came out.

A butler followed behind her.

When the woman pushed open the door, she saw the group of people standing at the door.

Or rather, after Natasha.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, and her voice leaped with joy: "Na...is it Natasha?!"

"Come here quickly, let Mommy take a good look at you..."

The woman's tone was very agitated.

His daughter, whom he hadn't seen for many years and could only communicate with through letters, suddenly appeared in front of him.

This was a pleasant surprise for her, someone who had one foot in the grave.

Natasha was also overwhelmed with excitement at the reunion. She took a deep breath, her eyes reddening, and said, "Mom... I'm back."

"Natasha..."

She stepped forward and hugged her adoptive mother tightly.

Click, click.

"So touching."

On March 7th, I quickly took a picture of this heartwarming scene.

Xing nodded: "Speaking of which, who are my parents?"

Her tone was somewhat confused, as if the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was that woman with long, wine-red hair.

The memories in her mind told her that the woman's name was Kafka.

"Xing, don't you have parents either?"

"Then we're the same kind of people!"

March 7th held Xing's hand and said with teary eyes.

Xing was speechless: "...There's really no need for this."

Seele took a deep breath and turned her head away: "Parents...?"

Her tone was somewhat melancholy; she remembered that she was born in an orphanage.

Bronya was the same, but thankfully, she was adopted by Cocolia.

She comforted Seele: "Seele, don't be sad, we'll always be good friends."

"Bronya..."

Seele looked at Bronya and said, "You're such a good sister to me."

A while later.

Natasha and her foster mother then released each other's hands.

The former's tone held an indescribable quality: "It's been too long... far too long..."

Natasha had been separated from her parents for far too long.

As she spoke, she looked at the housekeeper beside her adoptive mother and said gratefully, "Mr. Olsen, how have you been all these years? Thank you so much for being by my parents' side all these years. Thank you so much."

Upon hearing this...

The equally elderly butler, named Olsen, sighed: "I'm fine, everything's fine, Miss Natasha. You've grown into such a beautiful young woman, it's just a pity... the master..."

At this point, Olsen's eyes filled with sadness, and he stopped talking.

Natasha seemed to have a premonition of something.

She looked at her adoptive mother with a panicked expression: "Dad... yeah... where is Dad?"

Upon hearing this...

The foster mother sighed: "It was three years ago... Natasha... Don't be sad, he didn't suffer when he passed away."

Upon hearing this...

Everyone was stunned.

On March 7th, the hand holding the camera slowly lowered, and her tone became somewhat heavy: "Let's go... let's go..."

Seele and Bronya were at a loss for words: "Sister Natasha..."

Natasha was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Her eyes then filled with sadness and self-reproach, and her voice choked with emotion: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Mom... I haven't been able to be by your side for the past ten years... and I've caused you so much trouble, Mr. Olsen."

Olsen shook his head upon hearing this: "There's no need for that, Miss Natasha. It's my honor to take care of the master and madam all this time."

Natasha's adoptive mother comforted her, saying, "Natasha, the blockade between the upper and lower levels is not your fault, daughter. You don't need to blame yourself for it."

"Let's not talk about us anymore..."

Natasha's foster mother looked at Gu Yan and the others, lingering especially on Gu Yan for a moment: "Who are these people...?"

"We are! We are friends of Sister Natasha!"

March 7th waved his hand hurriedly and said.

Natasha wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded, and then introduced Gu Yan and the others.

Of course, their specific identities and positions were not mentioned.

Less than a moment later.

Natasha's foster mother smiled gently.

When she looked at Gu Yan, her eyes showed even more relief: "Your name is Gu Yan, right?"

"Yes, madam."

Gu Yan did not disturb Natasha's reunion with her mother.

When asked at this moment, he behaved very politely and amiably.

March 7th stared wide-eyed at it.

You're quite the actor!

Can you believe this guy just ransacked all the builders' homes?

"Natasha is a good girl, you should treat her well."

Natasha's foster mother gave her these instructions.

"Yes, of course, I will do that."

Gu Yan nodded; that was for sure.

He considered every woman he was involved with to be extremely important.

"Gu Yan..."

Natasha was deeply moved. She looked at Gu Yan, her emotions surging within her.

Bronya and Seele instinctively looked at Gu Yan's back.

After noticing each other's actions, they exchanged a glance.

They awkwardly turned their heads away.

After chatting for a few more minutes with Natasha's adoptive mother...

Gu Yan and the others then left.

Before leaving, Natasha asked her mother to provide some financial assistance for her medication.

Because the lower and upper levels are isolated, medicine is in short supply.

"Gu Yan... thank you."

Natasha and Gu Yan walked side by side in front of the crowd, her voice trembling slightly.

Gu Yan shook his head and smiled, "Natasha, no need to be so polite."

"besides...."

As he spoke, Gu Yan's tone became somewhat strange: "If you want, I can let you meet your father."

Meeting his father?

But he wasn't—

Natasha stared blankly at Gu Yan, whose lips curled up in a smile, but whose eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

He's telling the truth...

The thought popped into Natasha's mind.

But....

"No need. Father has already passed away peacefully. Let's not disturb him."

Natasha took a deep breath, shook her head, and rejected Gu Yan's suggestion.

"Alright, Natasha, you can come to me anytime you want."

Gu Yan shrugged; reviving someone was a very simple matter for him anyway.

This goes back to the beginning, when he was bored and was developing his abilities.

I unintentionally discovered that my abilities could be used in so many ways...

"Ah."

Natasha nodded.

Behind the crowd.

March 7th's gaze flickered suspiciously between Natasha and Bronya.

Bronya, who was already feeling complicated, frowned even more.
