Star Railway: I'm developing the Star Railway mobile game at my company.

Worried about their younger sister, the two eventually decided to ask Xing to investigate.

This kind of family-like care warmed Gui Naifen's heart, and she immediately agreed.

Hiluva: [Thank you, Xing! We were really worried about her meeting with strangers...]

Jepard: [She often goes to the snowfields alone to explore, and we've always believed she can protect herself. But this situation is special—it would be terrible if she were used by bad guys and put in danger.]

Hiluva: [Anyway, we're entrusting our dearest little sister Lingbao to you—if you discover anything, remember to contact us immediately!]

The nickname "Lingbao" made the audience feel a sense of warmth.

"Haha, I didn't expect everyone to call her Lingbao, how cute!"

"Wow, this plot isn't going to be about puppy love, is it? It feels like my cute little sister is about to be kidnapped by that blond guy!"

"Old Deng, is it safe to park my White Ghost outside?"

"It's hard, the fist is hard!"

Then they arrived at Place Belleberg and immediately spotted Ling Ke waiting for someone.

Just as the audience was about to see which brat was planning to swindle someone, they suddenly saw Pera walk over from the side.

Pera: [Lingbao~ I'm here.]

When they saw that it was Pella who was waiting for Lingke, the audience breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, it's Pera. Then it's alright!"

Chapter 151 More Remote Than the Snowfield

During the mission, Xing watched as Lingke and Pera left together, and eventually followed them all the way from the administrative district to a snowfield.

After arriving at the snowfield, the two began looking for a suitable campsite.

In the ensuing conversation, Lingke also revealed the purpose of her trip: to observe the aurora borealis that would appear that night.

Lingke: [Let's walk and see as we go—of course, we also need to be prepared to observe the aurora.]

Pera: [Hehe, thanks Lingbao. It's all yours now—I'll follow you obediently.]

In the end, Lingke chose a spot between two low cliffs that could block the strong winds of the snowfield.

However, after taking out the heater to warm the furnace, it was discovered that one of the components appeared to be damaged.

The two then decided to go to the nearby ruins to see if there were any replacement parts.

After searching for a while, the two found a crate.

Pera: [Huh... what's this? A bundle of red sausages?]

Link: [It looks like it, and it was probably put here not long ago... Could it be food stored up by the Beloborg savages?]

Pera: [W-what? What are the Beloborg savages?]

Lingke: [is a legendary creature—its appearance is somewhere between a human and an ape, resembling an adult male, with dark blue hair.]

Moreover, it appears and disappears mysteriously; no conclusive evidence to prove its existence can be found in the entire Belleburg...

Hearing Ling Ke's description, the audience couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hahaha, isn't this description just like old Sambo?"

"That makes sense. After all, the first time we saw Sambo was in the snowfield, a native savage!"

"I don't know why, but I really like Uncle Cold Legs. I wonder if there will be any more scenes with Sambo later on!"

"Although Sambo seems unfathomable, he's actually quite good to us!"

Because there were words written on the sausage, something like "Sang something Ji", I thought it might be someone else's stored grain there, so I put it back where it was.

After searching around without finding a replacement, Lingke decided to switch to the earth marrow for warmth. However, upon returning to the camp, she discovered something amiss.

Pella: [...Lingbao, wait. That thing in the camp is a very dangerous Rift creature.]

A dimensional piggy bank appeared near the camp.

Ling Ke: [Yeah, I saw it too, but it didn't seem hostile. It's quite cute, all round and chubby...]

However, Pera appeared very wary.

After all, according to the data, 20% of the Silvermane Iron Guards who went missing in the Rift over the years did so because they disobeyed orders and chased after these creatures on their own.

It is speculated that these creatures may possess some kind of bewitching ability.

In a sense, that's true. Players are basically unable to move when they see the Dimensional Piggy Bank, since defeating it will reward you with 60 Star Jade!

After hearing Pera's story, Lingke was somewhat surprised.

【Huh? But this little guy gave me something nice last time, and he didn't mean to hurt me....】

Their conversation startled the piggy bank in front of them. After Ling Ke hurriedly snapped a photo, the piggy bank ran away.

However, the piggy bank seemed to have left something behind. Upon closer inspection, Pera discovered that it was the part she had been looking for.

Lingke noticed some other items among them and looked at Pera with a hesitant expression.

After repairing the heater, the two officially began cooking.

All of this was observed by the stalker Xing who was silently following behind.

"Ah, so you're still here, Master?"

"It's my first time being a stalker, I'm a little nervous and a little excited!"

"Now I have to put myself in the protagonist's shoes!"

After finishing their meal, the two started chatting while waiting for the aurora.

Pera expressed that she envied Ling Ke, who was an action-oriented person who didn't care about other people's opinions and could immediately prepare a plan for whatever she wanted to do.

But Lingke couldn't be happy.

"I... I don't really envy anything. I just can't stand my older siblings... I can't stand them always treating me like a child."

They are both very capable and outstanding people... but precisely because of this, I always feel pressured when I'm around them...

I'm all grown up now... I'm capable enough to do what I want to do...

Why can't they just stop worrying and let me do it myself?

As the youngest sister in the Landau family, Lingke felt some pressure from the excessive care and attention she received from her family.

This camping trip to see the aurora borealis was also her way of proving to her older siblings that she was no longer a child.

This part of the story also successfully caught Screwgoom's attention.

As an inorganic life form, the emotions between humans are also a subject he has been researching.

Seeing that Ling Ke actually felt pressured because of her family's concern, he was deeply shocked by this strange emotional logic, even though he couldn't understand it at the moment.

Upon hearing this, Pera, who was standing to the side, showed a hint of dejection on her face.

That's just how family is.

Ling Ke realized her slip of the tongue and quickly apologized, after all, saying such things in front of Pera, who had never even met her mother, was indeed a bit Versailles.

"...Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I got a little too excited."

"It's okay, it's okay, I've never even seen what she looks like anyway..."

Just as the two were chatting, a large Rift Monster seemed to be attracted by the furnace light and came to the vicinity.

Seeing this, Xing, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but sigh that it was fortunate that Jepard and the others had asked him to come along, otherwise who knows what might have happened.

After Xing appeared and successfully defeated the monster, Ling Ke expressed her gratitude, but also guessed that Xing must have been sent by her older brother and sister to protect them.

[...They're always like this. It's really hard to have any personal space as the sister of those two.]

However, Lingke didn't mind and instead extended an invitation to Xing.

Stay here, let's watch the aurora together.

The screen went black, and all that could be heard was Pella's excited voice.

【...Hey, Lingbao, Lingbao! Look!"】

The scene switches to the moment when the aurora borealis appears.

Ling Kepela stood side by side, quietly watching the aurora borealis appear in the sky.

In the dark night, the dreamlike aurora illuminated the entire sky, making the earth appear colorful.

Even the audience was awestruck by the beautiful sight, marveling at the wonder and grandeur of the universe.

"Wow, is this the aurora borealis? It's so beautiful!"

"Although the Bo Shi Society has a scientific explanation for this phenomenon, seeing the aurora still feels amazing!"

"Waaaaah, I've heard that the aurora never appears on my planet. I really want to see it with my own eyes in my lifetime!"

"However, in this situation, it would be nice if the two of them could hold hands. Of course, I'm not a yuri fanatic!"

Chapter 152 Love Across Time and Space

Since the Star Core event, Belloberg has witnessed its largest aurora display.

No wonder Lingke specially brought Pera to camp in the wild; both of them exclaimed how lucky they were to be able to see the aurora.

Pera: [That was great! We ate Lingbao's cooking and even saw the aurora... This trip to the snowfield has come to a perfect end!]

Link: [Pera looks very happy.]

Pera: [Huh? I...cough...I wasn't really that happy, really.]

Xing: [Ling will be sad...]

Upon hearing Xing's words, Pera realized something was amiss and quickly added.

【Huh?! I'm so sorry!】

Don't worry, it won't happen. I can sense Pella's true feelings.

Pera: [Okay, okay...it was definitely a happy experience. Thanks to Lingbao...and you, Xing.]

The three agreed to have dinner together that night. Just as Pera was about to leave, Lingke suddenly called out to her.

【Ah, Pella! Just a moment...】

Ling took out something that Piggy Bank had left behind when it ran away.

【What...what is this?】

It was an old floppy disk card, which was considered a rare piece of high technology in the past.

There was also a blurry photo pasted on top, with only the outline of the image barely visible.

The only useful information was the name engraved on it: Penya Sergeyevna.

I think...it would be better if you confirmed it yourself.

Looking at the somewhat familiar surnames in the names, many viewers began to sense that something was amiss.

"I understand. Thank you, Lingbao."

The three parted ways. Pera left first with the floppy disk, while Xing went to the machine shop to report the situation to the Silvah siblings.

After Xing came out, she received a message from Ling Ke to meet at the museum.

[Pera is in the tidying room—let's wait for her together.]

Xing was curious about what Pera was doing inside, so Lingke began to explain the reason.

I think she's probably checking the contents of that floppy disk... Let her have some peace and quiet.

I don't know the specifics either. But...

Penya Sergeyevna, the most outstanding polar explorer in Beloborg, who died in an accident sixteen years ago.

Another significant event occurred on the same day: Pera was born.

I heard that at the time, Ms. Penia was stationed behind a snowfield camp handling some simple paperwork.

On that crucial day, a once-in-a-century blizzard suddenly struck.
