"In the sky?!"
The train was seen laying its own tracks in the air, and it was moving smoothly along the tracks.
Everyone gathered~
About half an hour later...
"This is the [Red Kite], I am Train Conductor Xia Yuan. The train has not deviated from its tracks, everything is normal, and we are en route to our final destination, [Mount Taixu]. It is estimated that we will need..."
Xia Yuan sat in the train's driver's cab.
A hat with the word "ship" on it had appeared on his head at some point, and he stared intently at the control screen in front of him.
"You rascal, can you please stop muttering? This train is clearly driven automatically by AI. You've been muttering nonstop ever since we started, Xia Yuan, can't you just shut up for a minute?"
Hei hope leaned against one side, venting her little emotions, and said to Xia Yuan with some impatience.
If Seele hadn't told her to, she wouldn't have wanted to stay in the driver's seat with that jerk!
"Miss Hei hope, you are now a crew member on the [Red Kite]."
Please mind your manners. As the train conductor, my duty is to ensure the safety of every passenger on the [Red Kite] and their safe arrival at their destination. Also, if you've finished your coffee, please pour me a cup. And little Klein…
Xia Yuan gestured to the empty cup beside him.
Hei hope's anger was nearing its peak. He slowly approached Xia Yuan from behind and pinched Xia Yuan's cheeks with both hands.
"I made you drink coffee, you bad guy! Want some now?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Stop it! Miss Blackie, this is insubordination. As the train conductor, I have the right to suspend you! Little Klein, write this down and report it to Seele immediately."
"You dare! You bad guy, you're really into this, aren't you?"
Hei hope took off the hat that Xia Yuan had somehow gotten from his head and tossed it aside.
Unexpectedly, the hat landed right on the head of little Klein, who was standing next to her. Klein put the hat aside, her face expressionless. She only felt that the two of them were arguing, and all she wanted to do now was find Dr. Möbius as soon as possible.
Just then, Klein suddenly noticed something.
"Um... Respected Train Conductor Xia Yuan, there's a situation."
The train seems to be stopping in the next city for a while. During this time, three passengers have purchased tickets to Mount Taixu. Just in case they can't find the [Red Kite] train, it would be best to send someone to meet them.
Xia Yuan nudged Hei hope behind him and said:
"Miss Kuroki, hurry up and greet those three lovely passengers. It's time to get back to your job."
But Hei Xi looked at Xia Yuan as if she were trash, throwing her out of the driver's seat with extreme disgust, along with her quilt.
thump—
Immediately following was a loud slam of a door behind me.
"You bastard, go by yourself and don't ever come back!"
Chapter 150 I switched sides from Bronya!
That's it~
Xia Yuan, the conductor of the "Red Iris" train, was thrown out of the driver's cab by Miss Hei hope.
“Miss Hei hope, my captain's hat is still inside.”
Just a short while...
A crack was opened in the door, and a small hand tossed Xia Yuan's hat out.
"You rascal, take your hat and get as far away as you can. And don't you dare tell Seele, or you're dead!"
thump—
Following Ms. Kuroki's warning... was also accompanied by the loud slamming of the door.
Looking at the tightly closed driver's side door, Xia Yuan couldn't help but sigh. In a sense, had he been kicked out of Miss Hei hope's house? He was down on his luck...
Xia Yuan picked up the small cotton blanket and tall hat that the other person had thrown at his feet, and walked alone in the carriage. Now he was going to help Miss Hei hope, who wanted to slack off, complete her work.
The "Red Kite" railcar smoothly came to a stop on the ground.
The carriage doors slowly opened.
Xia Yuan straightened his formal attire and stood in front of the carriage door, ready to welcome the passengers boarding the train. Looking at the snowflakes falling all around, he wondered who would be going to Mount Taixu in such weather.
Xia Yuan felt a surge of curiosity.
After a while...
A mature woman in gray, wearing a hood, walked towards the train carriage. To Xia Yuan's surprise, the first passenger to board the plane was Raven.
The arrival of Raven was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Xia Yuan to switch jobs.
He didn't want to continue working for Bronya. If it weren't for the understanding Seele accompanying Bronya, he was afraid that all his pleasant leisure time would be taken over by Bronya.
In order to make a good impression on my future boss, Raven~
Xia Yuan removed his top hat and bowed respectfully to the raven, saying:
"Welcome, Ms. Raven. Welcome aboard this train bound for Mount Taixu. I am Xia Yuan, the train conductor of the [Red Kite]."
But what awaited Xia Yuan was a sharp dagger pointed at his neck.
"You know me?"
Raven recalled the faces of everyone she knew, but she had never seen this man in her memory. Could it be that her mission to carry out the entrusted task at Mount Taixu had been exposed?
Looking at Raven's slightly sharp eyes, Xia Yuan suddenly remembered that when he accompanied Bronya and Seele to their chance encounter with Raven, he was wearing the Houmu set...
Right now, he couldn't tell Raven that he was "Mr. Houmu," especially since Bronya was on the train.
"Who exactly are you, and how do you know my code name?"
Raven brought the sharp edge of the dagger close to Xia Yuan's neck once more.
"Ahem... My dear traveler, there may be some misunderstanding between us."
Please put down the dagger so I can explain things to you properly. Actually, every passenger leaves their identification information upon registration, and I only found out your name by checking that information.
But after Xia Yuan said those words, the raven suddenly moved.
Because she never registered her real identity....
Could the other party also be a mercenary? I just wanted to earn some money for a villa, but I didn't expect to run into a colleague here. This is troublesome. I should knock him out first and find out what his mission is.
If it doesn't conflict with my own request, I'll let it go; if it does conflict, then I'll have no choice but to...
Raven conjured a knife in her hand, preparing to knock out the man who appeared to be a colleague for interrogation, hoping that her interrogation skills hadn't deteriorated over the years.
Just as Raven reached for Xia Yuan's nape, he dodged it by a hair's breadth.
"Huh? You dodged it?"
Out of caution, Raven leaped back into the air, creating distance between herself and Xia Yuan. Three dark red feathers, which she could throw, appeared between her fingers. She wanted to use the feathers to test the other party's strength first.
But Xia Yuan raised his hands, making a gesture of surrender.
"Huh? Is the other side surrendering to me?"
“Miss Raven, in a sense we have met before.”
However, due to certain circumstances, I cannot disclose them. I simply wanted to ask if the bar in Sky Dome City was still hiring; I had absolutely no other intentions or motives.
To be on the safe side, the raven kept its distance from Xia Yuan after landing from the sky.
Looking at the other person, he tentatively asked:
"Mr. Xia Yuan, don't you already have a job as a train conductor? Why would you condescend to work for a small bar that I run in the city?"
"Well... in a sense, the train conductor is someone who just took office today, and this isn't his job."
But at my previous job, my boss was always late with wages, never provided a meal, and sometimes even... I want to find a kind and understanding boss who pays wages on time.
Xia Yuan wiped away the tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
He cried to the raven about the workplace persecution Bronya had inflicted on him.
But when Raven learned that the other family had children to care for, her pupils trembled slightly. Raven recalled her own past, the time she spent caring for Sora and the other children...
"What...what's your boss's name?"
Perhaps because of Xia Yuan's experience, Raven was not as wary of him as before and subconsciously asked him questions.
If what the other party said is true, she plans to help Xia Yuan teach his boss a lesson. It's like she completed a mercenary job, but the client didn't pay her the reward that was rightfully hers.
"Her name is Bronya. So, Raven Boss, does that mean you agree to let me work at your bar?"
Xia Yuan rubbed his little hands together and looked at the raven with expectant eyes.
until.....
Suddenly, a very resentful voice came to Xia Yuan's ear, and Bronya's figure appeared beside Xia Yuan without him noticing.
"Did I just hear some idiot subordinate wanting to quit?"
Bronya stared blankly at Xia Yuan, as if waiting for him to give her an explanation.
"Duck...Duck, what brings you here?"
"It's an illusion, everything that just happened was just your illusion, Bronya."
Who wants to switch jobs?
It's just that a hard-working employee wants to find a boss who won't mistreat him.
But Bronya silently replayed the conversation between Xia Yuan and Raven using the communication device on her wrist, from which she could deduce...
Chapter 151 The idiot subordinate belongs to Bronya!
Bronya seemed to have been there for quite some time and had overheard the entire conversation between Xia Yuan and Raven.
"I never expected that their boss would be Bronya."
This undoubtedly piqued the interest of the raven observing the two from outside the carriage. It clearly hadn't seen Xia Yuan before, yet the other party obviously recognized it. This reminded it of the giant, somewhat clumsy-walking, yet unforgettable Houmu from yesterday…
The matter is self-evident.
"Sure, my bar happens to be short-staffed. If you'd like to work here, why don't you come find me at the bar after this trip to Mount Taixu? Here's a gold coin; it's a symbol of our loyalty."
Raven tossed a coin to Xia Yuan.
"Thank you, boss!"
"It seems you're not a qualified boss, Bronya. Your subordinates seem to want to find a new boss."
Seeing Xia Yuan's reaction, Raven looked at Bronya and teased her.
“Miss Raven, there may be some misunderstanding between Bronya and her stupid subordinate.”
"The internal, personal problems stemming from a lack of proper communication and ideological work mean Bronya can't entrust such a foolish subordinate to you, Miss Raven. Besides, if this foolish subordinate leaves, she'll have to pay the company a huge penalty for breach of contract."
Seeing Xia Yuan's joyful expression, Bronya felt a slight pang of unhappiness. She pulled Xia Yuan, who was grinning foolishly at the gold coins, behind her and said to the raven in front of them.
"It's alright, it's just a penalty for breach of contract... I'll pay it for them."
The raven waved its hand dismissively.
"The boss is generous~ That's a truly good boss, unlike... um..."
Xia Yuan, who had just peeked out from behind Bronya, was covered in the mouth by Bronya and pushed back into the carriage.
"You stupid subordinate, you have no right to speak now."
Slightly annoyed, Bronya now regarded the Raven Lady before her as an enemy.
"Oh? I just don't know if Miss Raven can come up with the penalty for her stupid subordinate's breach of contract. It's not a lot, probably only equivalent to the price of a whole island villa."
"An entire island villa?!"
Raven nearly choked on Bronya's words... No matter how you looked at it, the other person couldn't possibly be worth that much money.
"What's wrong?
"The once-famous mercenary, Miss Raven, you don't actually have any to offer, do you?"
Seeing Bronya's attitude, Raven understood that the other party had no intention of releasing her. But as a mercenary, he couldn't stand to be outdone by words. He also wanted to see just how powerful the former Ural Silver Wolf really was.
"That's right, I really can't come up with that much money all at once."
The raven readily admitted it and continued:
