Star Railway, starting as Kiana

"Okay, stop making that pitiful little face."

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Besides, transfer students are the main characters, aren't they?"

Hearing Kiana say that, March 7th perked up again, quickly gathered up his spoils, and went to where the star was.

As soon as the group arrived, they saw countless students and teachers wearing clothes with trash can patterns or standing around trash cans, surrounding Xing in the middle.

"Oh, President, we'll miss you so much!"

"President, don't go! The Trash Can Club can't afford to lose you!"

Hoshino was also reluctant to leave everyone and everything in the Trash Can Society, but there were still friends on the train waiting for her to embark on new ventures.

Xing had no choice but to suppress her reluctance and politely decline everyone's attempts to persuade her to stay.

As she was leaving, Xing took out the trash can that she had been keeping.

"This is my last gift to you all. I hope that when I return to Origami University in the future, I will see that it is still shining brightly."

"President!!!"

Xing left without looking back, and the group of Trash Can Club members behind her made a gesture of utmost respect as Xing walked away.

The scene was beautiful; it would have been even better if Xing had given them something else instead of a trash can.

The Origami University arc has come to an end. Waiting for updates. I always thought the next version of the story would be set in the Immortal Boat, but it turns out to be Pinocchio, Ababa, slow down a bit, hopefully I won't get backstabbed.

Chapter 636 The smile will not disappear, it will only move

"Hmph~ Hmph~!"

Pam seemed to be in a great mood today. After everyone boarded the train, Pam hummed a song while preparing refreshments and cleaning the train.

"Pam, are you in a good mood today?"

"Of course!"

Pam stopped humming and responded to March 7th, who was about to squat down and pat her head.

Even if Pam is in a good mood, she won't let March 7th touch her head so easily. Picking up the small broom specially made for Pam, she turned around lightly and dodged March 7th's vicious hand.

March 7th reluctantly withdrew his hand, somewhat disappointed.

Meanwhile, Ji (the second child), who was enjoying a cup of coffee she had just bought from Pinocchio, slowly told March 7 the reason why she had been drinking so much coffee.

"Speaking of which, this is actually related to stars."

"Huh? Xing? What happened to her?"

March 7th's gaze fell upon the doors of the observation car, looking towards the room belonging to Xing.

After all, Hoshi was feeling down ever since she parted ways with everyone from Trash Can Club, but Pam was happy.

"Could this be the law of conservation of energy?!"

“Little March, you’re overthinking it. Pam is happy because Xing left the trash can at Origami University. Although Xing’s room has many trash cans, they are mostly filled with dolls or the Black Tower’s custom-made trash can robot. But the real trash can that was brought out of the Yalilo VI is gone, so of course Pam is happy.”

"Ah...this."

March 7th peeked at the gate and, finding Xing not there, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, where are we going next? Qi Bao, are you going to the Immortal Boat?"

Kiana shook her head and put down the phone she had been holding.

“It’s not needed for now. Ruan Mei said that the surprise was sent to Pinocchio.”

"But aren't we supposed to be leaving Pinocene?"

“It’s okay. I’ve already set up an anchor point in Pinocchio. When the surprise Ruan Mei mentioned arrives, I’ll just come back by myself.”

"After all, it's been a rare occurrence that nothing went wrong, and Train Conductor Pam is in such a good mood this time, so let's not postpone it."

Upon hearing Kiana's heartwarming words, Pam, who had just finished cleaning and was about to put the train into autopilot mode, instantly broke into a smile.

"I'm going to make some pastry handkerchiefs!"

When Pam returned with snacks and juice and placed them on the table, Hoshiya, holding a trash can plush toy, sat on the sofa and resumed his usual self.

Just then, the train suddenly shook violently, and everyone instantly lost their balance.

"Ah!!!" March 7th, who was standing up to pour herself a glass of juice, screamed in fright.

"What happened?" Dan Heng steadied himself, his expression grave.

Pam, who had just returned to the kitchen to fetch another batch of pastries, rushed over, shouting, "Something's wrong! The train seems to be being interfered with by an unknown force!"

Himeko immediately said, "Everyone, calm down and check all the equipment to see where the problem lies."

Everyone sprang into action, and March 7th also put aside his previous panic and focused intently on the investigation.

After a thorough inspection, it was discovered that the train's core energy system had malfunctioned.

"This is troublesome. We must fix it as soon as possible, or we'll be trapped here." Uncle Yang frowned.

Everyone tried their best to solve the problem. Just when they were at their wits' end, March 7th suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I remember encountering a similar situation on a certain planet before, maybe we can try that method!"

"That method?"

Speaking of Ni~, I saw that on March 7th, the right five hands were making a hand knife pomegranate, and then the shrimp had no follow-up action.

"Ugh, I can't use the 45-degree angled attack mechanical repair method! I can't hit the train."

Fortunately, after a brief period of turbulence, the shaking gradually subsided and the train eventually returned to a stable state.

"Phew, finally it's solved." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before they could relax for long, a strange light suddenly appeared in the starry sky ahead, seemingly guiding them to some unknown place...

When everyone came to their senses, they found that the train had stopped in the familiar spot again.

Kiana sat in her seat and shrugged, putting the snacks and juice that had fallen off the table and were frozen in mid-air due to the sudden interference with the train back into their original positions.

"Looks like we don't need to worry about where to go next. We've already come back before we even flew out."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, momentarily at a loss. Xing, clutching the trash can plush toy in her arms, broke the silence first: "What's going on? How did we end up back here?"

Himeko pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that this is not an ordinary malfunction or coincidence. That strange light may be some kind of hint or guidance. We need to investigate it further."

"No matter what, let's get out of the car and check the surroundings. Maybe we can find some clues."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

When they stepped off the train, they found the surroundings to be completely familiar and normal.

At the front desk of the Daydream Hotel, the manager and front desk staff in the lobby were still busy greeting each guest, and countless tourists were queuing up, waiting to enter the Daydream Hotel and enter Pinocchio.

March 7 looked around curiously: "It seems like there's nothing wrong. Could it be that Pam just set the coordinates wrong, causing us to go around in circles and end up back here?"

Pam, who had been standing cautiously behind the train door, clutching her little broom tightly and only showing her head, immediately retorted upon hearing March 7's words:

"I don't have a handkerchief!"

"Everyone be careful, there might be some danger waiting for us."

No one refuted Himeko's words, after all, Pam would not make such a low-level mistake as March 7th said.

Therefore, there must be something strange about the current situation.

But after getting off the train, everyone stood on guard on the Pinocchio platform for several minutes, yet still found nothing amiss.

On the contrary, they have now become the biggest anomaly in Pinocchio.

Finally, a receptionist manager, seeing the strange behavior of these shareholders who had returned, couldn't help but approach them and ask what was going on.

"Esteemed shareholders, are you here to check in?"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she was swept by the scrutinizing gazes of everyone. Even though she was a member of the family and had seen many important figures, she still couldn't help but take a step back after being swept by the group of people on the train.

But soon, his outstanding professionalism made him stop in his tracks, and he asked again:

"Distinguished shareholders, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Chapter 637 Star Train Infinite Energy Bug

The lobby manager felt uneasy under her gaze and was about to turn and run away when finally, our incredibly cute Qi Bao spoke up, breaking the eerie atmosphere.

"Please help us check in again."

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

After the lobby manager left, Kiana turned around and looked at Pam, who was still hiding behind the train door and had not yet gotten off the train, and asked a question that had been lingering in her mind.

"I've always had a question: if we leave Pinocene and then return to Pinocene to start a new journey, will the energy for exploration increase or decrease?"

Pam: ...

Are you stuck in this bug?

However, Kiana's interruption put everyone at ease, and it seemed that due to some unexpected circumstances, the group had returned to Pinocchio.

"It seems we'll be staying in Pinocchio for a while longer."

After all, although the train had just experienced a brief disruption, it had returned to normal.

However, the core issue of train energy design means that even if the train appears normal now, a comprehensive overhaul is still necessary for safety reasons.

"You guys go check in first, Pam and I will stay here to inspect the train."

As the navigator, Himeko gave the order and stayed on the train with Pam to begin a series of maintenance tasks.

Old Yang then led everyone to check in again.

Naturally, their rooms remained unchanged.

This time, however, instead of rushing into the Dream Pool and Pinocchio as they had last time, they gathered in the observation car of the Starry Sky Train after checking in.

It wasn't anything urgent to discuss, but rather that Himeko had some rather unpleasant news to share.

"The train's core energy system is fine, but some parts have been damaged. To ensure the train's safety, the stop at this station will be extended indefinitely from 7 days until the parts arrive and the train is repaired."

As Himeko was speaking, Kiana saw Pam looking extremely aggrieved, as if she had discovered that her hard-earned piggy bank had leaked.

Even though the train was delayed at almost every stop, Pam was still forced to postpone her departure due to train problems when everything was going smoothly and she had seven days to leave. How could she be happy about that?

However, only Pam was unhappy.

Smiles don't simply vanish; they merely linger on people's faces. As the train was about to leave Pinocchio, Xing's smile faded, replaced by Pam's radiant happiness.

But before they even reached the first system, the situation suddenly reversed, and the smile on Pam's face instantly shifted to Xing's.

If it weren't for the fact that Himeko still had something to say, Hoshi would probably have already been unable to contain himself and plunged into the Dream Pool, heading straight for Origami University to give his clubmates a big surprise.

"But it's all good. The train has been forced to stop here, so if anyone needs to buy anything, they might as well stock up in advance."

The brief train crew meeting then came to an end.

After everyone dispersed, they all began to plan for this unexpected stop.

March 7th excitedly dragged Kiana towards the mall, shouting, "Come on, Kiana, let's see if there are any new clothes and jewelry!"

Danheng went to the lounge area in the lobby alone. Every time he stopped there, he hadn't had a chance to properly look at the Pinocchio magazine. This time, he could finally relax.

Xing immediately lay down in the Dream Pool. After leaving the Daydream Hotel in Pinocchio and seeing the Sulda Fountain, which can only be appreciated in this city of dreams, she did not stop for a moment and immediately ran towards Origami University.

Old Yang found a quiet corner and carefully considered the rest of his itinerary.

Pam, dejected, stayed on the train with Himeko to inspect it and wait for the parts to arrive before commencing formal repairs.

"Himeko, do you really think that this train's unusual behavior has nothing to do with Kiana?"

While Pam was repairing the train with an extremely tiny wrench, he asked Himeko a question.

"Probably not, after all, Kiana's mouth has been much quieter lately, hasn't it?"

After wiping away non-existent beads of sweat from her forehead, Pam immediately retorted to Himeko.

"Have you forgotten that black fog when you first came to Pinocchio not long ago?"

"And that trash can and that asteroid Pa. Neither of them looks right, Pa."

However, Pam did not dwell on the topic any further, as it would not help anyway.

At this moment, Kiana, looking at the familiar Dream Pool and feeling its warmth that was different from other Dream Pools, quickly lay down in it.

As true drowsiness washed over her, Kiana lay in the Dream Pool and entered a dream.
