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

Then another firework jumped out from the side, pointing at the camera and making a joke.

[You weren't scared just now, were you?]

The video ends with the television screen flickering off and the sound of laughter from fireworks.

Viewers who watched the character PV felt a sense of euphoria.

"OMG, this is insane! I love it!"

"The world has finally gone mad just the way I wanted it to be!"

"After watching this video, I feel like I've really hit the jackpot!"

"The middle part of the PV was amazing! The gorgeous yet eerie art style blended perfectly with the fireworks!"

"I am pleasure!"

"So cute and crazy, I really love fireworks!"

"Hanabi's laughter has the potential to compete with Blade and Mirror Style for the title of 'Healthiest Laughter'!"

"The artistic skill is so explosive it overflows the screen!"

"Seriously, this PV is definitely one of the best PVs to date, it fits the character so perfectly!"

"The fireworks in the middle that turned into black swans and golden sand springs, is it hinting at something?"

"Judging from the PV title, could this all be a one-woman show directed and acted by Hanabi herself?"

"I get it now, Pinocchio is actually a giant firework!"

"I'm already looking forward to Hanabi's performance in the main story. It seems like Hanabi is the only one who knows the most right now!"

"Damn it, why is version 2.1 still so far away? I need to watch the new episodes of Star Railway now!"

Chapter 255 Fireworks and Wonderful Buns

With the arrival of the second half of the 2.0 gacha pool, the game character Hanabi has been officially implemented.

Just as the players were preparing to log in and bring various forms of fireworks back to the train, they suddenly noticed a red dot in their mailboxes.

The email subject line prominently displayed several large characters.

【DO NOT ...

The title, like a trap, entices players to click and see what's going on.

The first thing you see is 10 tubes of fuel and a fireworks kit.

The familiar feeling, the familiar recipe!

From the most honest people at Pinocchio!

[Sigh, I told you not to click on it... Honey, you're so rebellious.]

How was your time at Pinocchio?

[You're still not done, right...? Since Little Grey is so brave and rebellious, I've decided to give you a small gift, something... that can warm your heart.]

You know what I mean, think about it—those roaming guides, purified ether, credits, valuable materials whether useful or not, and even the clothes that Grand Duke of the Underworld ripped off...

Oh, right, there was also an extra little gift; I don't know what's inside.

If you find any treasures, post them on the Interstellar Peace Network, I'll see them~

[Or you can just leave it in your mailbox and look at it again next year; who knows, you might find a surprise?]

Oh dear, will there be no today tomorrow?

After clicking to claim, the Fireworks Wonderful Pack will open automatically.

It can randomly yield consumables such as [Dignity of the Trash Can], [Moral Praise], [Credit Points] worth 100,000 Credits, a Fireworks avatar, or an Old Sambo.

An unexpected little surprise appeared, and just as players were about to come to the official site to discuss it, they saw that the official avatar had been replaced with a chibi version of a firework!

And at the same time.

A long-absent program has returned to the audience's view, namely the role demonstration program produced by Jimi.

Approaching the Starry Sky - Fireworks: Skill Explanation (Remember to change the title)!

Seeing this, viewers were also drawn in and started discussing it in the comments section below the video.

"Wow, I almost didn't recognize it as an official website at first glance!"

"Just like when Silver Wolf appeared before!"

"The email sent me 10 more stamina refills and a Fireworks Magic Pack!"

"Why is it that when the fireworks come on, they're sending off Old Sambo? Haha!"

"What? A Sambo? I drove out a garbage can!"

"Be content, I only got 1 credit, that's outrageous!"

"Those aren't credit points, they're credit points! Open it and you'll find 10 credit points!"

"It looks like the rewards are different! I even saw one that gave me a fireworks icon!"

"I wept at the praise of such lofty morality!"

"That's absolutely right, it truly lives up to its name, Joy!"

"By the way, remember to change this title. Did you forget to remove the parentheses?"

"Haha, has it been invaded by fireworks too?!"

"What an amazing fan-made work! It's exactly the same as the official one!"

"Where did my March 7th head go, Hanabi? Where did you put my March 7th head?!"

"That's right, I play 'Hanabi: Pleasure Railway'!"

A barrage of comments began to appear, and Jimi's familiar voice rang out.

Before we begin this episode, please allow me to share a little riddle to warm things up.

What things look beautiful and dazzling from afar, but burn you if you get up close?

What is something that is clearly very dangerous, yet is always popular?

What always appears at nightfall and disappears at sunrise?

What is it that you always eagerly anticipate, only to have it end at its most brilliant moment?

What brings fleeting pleasure but leaves an unforgettable impression?

In the video, a firework flashes by, its head tilted and pointing a finger at the camera.

The answer is our main character today—fireworks!

In the studio, Sangbo looked somewhat surprised.

【Huh? It's her? Wasn't I called here to introduce the Black Swan? Am I late?】

Jimi: [To better showcase the artistic life of the fireworks master to the audience, the program has specially invited Mr. Sambo, her closest drinking buddy at the World's End Tavern.]

Sambo initially refused the invitation extended by Jimi, who represented the Starry Sky Railway.

After all, since the game was released, many people have suspected that he had connections with the official team, which has caused him a lot of trouble.

But, Jimi gave so much!

Although it seems like we're a bit late, we're already here, so why not take the money? Introducing the fireworks is the same thing, right?

[Dear viewers, I'm your friend, Old Sambo!]

【Hanabi and I... well... we're not that close.】

[Although we were originally here to introduce the Black Swan, changing the script at the last minute isn't out of the question, since we're buddies after all. But... shouldn't we give our buddies a little something...?]

Watching Sambo fidget with his fingers, Jimi nodded repeatedly.

[Sure, sure. You think carefully about how to praise Hanabi-sama's acting skills. Let's start with a character demonstration.]

The conversation between the two also amused the audience.

"Haha, as expected of you, Sambo!"

"Scammers get 50% off, bro, and I've got a grand slam!"

"Something's not right, Jimi, when did you get so much money that you agreed so quickly?"

"Could it be that..."

Then, Jimi took out a press release and began to read out the description of Hanabi's skills in a stiff, monotone voice.

In the video, Hanabi is seen fiercely stepping forward and delivering a spinning kick.

Wow, those action scenes! So agile, the moves are sharp, and so fluid!

【Yes, yes, yes, yes! That's how you praise someone!】

Seeing Jimi's lips curling up to the sky, the audience finally believed it.

"You're not a Gimmick. Real Gimmicks don't need to read from a script!"

"It's you, Flower Girl!"

"Interesting, where is the real Jimi now?"

"Could it have already become the last roast chicken in the fireworks PV?!"

"Chirp!"

Unaware of what was going on, Sambo continued to enthusiastically praise the fireworks.

She's like a guiding light! With her, every scene becomes vivid and interesting! Every character becomes three-dimensional and lifelike!

[Oh my god! What a breathtaking performance! Can I watch this for free?!]

[Interstellar Peace Entertainment owes Master Fireworks a Lifetime Achievement Award!]

By the end, Jimi couldn't hold back his laughter any longer.

Jimi: [What a wonderful performance! I can't help but ponder: where exactly are the limits of the Fireworks Master's acting skills?]

Just as Sambo continued to boast wildly, Jimi's clothes suddenly changed color.

[Brilliant! I applaud on my head! It's just a pity that Mr. Sambo's acting skills are still constrained by...]

[Where are you bound? Finish your sentence!]

As he spoke, Jimi's tone began to change, his voice gradually becoming deep and magnetic.

Mr. Sambo has such high standards; being too restrained is a major taboo in pleasure!

Wait a minute, this comment sounds so familiar... You wouldn't happen to be...?!

Jimi interrupted Sambo's questioning.

[To conclude the program, let's solve one more riddle.]

What looks like Jimi, sounds like Jimi, has a Jimi-like personality, but isn't Jimi?

Halfway through his sentence, Hanabi's voice appeared in the background, and finally Hanabi appeared.

[Fireworks! It really is you! Don't run away, first pay me the salary I gave you for praising you!]

Hehe, time to clock out!

Chapter 256 Masked Duet

When the fireworks finally revealed their true form, the audience was not surprised at all.

"Haha, poor old Sambo has been completely manipulated!"

"All that praise for nothing, haha."

"Yes, that's great!"

“She’s so cute!”

"Fireworks boss! That was fun!"
