Chapter 44 Boarding the Train
Chapter 44 Boarding the Train
"Huh? Huh?"
Himeko stared blankly at Eve, her mind going completely blank.
What did she just say?
Isn't that a bit too presumptuous? Who asks someone to call them "Mom" right off the bat?
Just then, Xing blurted out, "Mom!"
"Oh, my dear daughter." Eve smiled gently and handed the small cake in her hand directly to Xing.
"Huh? What?" Himeko's brain went blank again.
No? You really called each other that? I remember you guys had only known each other for less than 24 systems, right? How did things develop into such an unbelievable relationship?
March 7th, standing to the side, seemed completely unfazed, having already witnessed this scene in the rare artifacts collection room.
"You're not shocked or surprised at all?" Himeko looked at March 7th with a puzzled expression.
Given March 7th's usual behavior, it should be making a ruckus by now.
March 7th glanced at Himeko and said, "What's so shocking or strange about this? Don't make a fuss."
Himeko smiled helplessly, "I never thought that Mitsuki would ever be able to lecture me like this."
March 7th muttered under her breath, "If I hadn't stopped myself in time, I almost would have been tricked into calling for my mom..."
"What did you say?" Himeko didn't hear clearly because March Seven's voice was too soft.
"Nothing, nothing..." March 7th immediately waved his hand and said.
She stared at the small cake in Xing's hand, slightly lost in thought.
Sigh, I want to eat that too....
Eve noticed March 7's burning, food-loving gaze, and then righteously... avoided it.
Are you kidding me? You still owe me two small cakes!!
At that moment, Danheng's voice came from afar, and he was carrying a briefcase.
"Looks like everyone's been waiting for me."
"Danheng, Danheng, you're back!" March 7th waved excitedly.
"Yes, all the data has been collected," Dan Heng said, holding up his briefcase.
Then, he suddenly turned to look at Eve, staring intently, but Danheng immediately looked away.
Eve was still playing with Starbaby and didn't notice Danheng's little actions.
"What about docking with the space station? And other strange items?" Himeko continued to ask.
"It's all done. As for the artifacts... Lady Black Tower said we can just leave them in the control room." Dan Heng said helplessly.
He suddenly remembered the scene of him running back to retrieve the strange object.
well.......
"That's good." Himeko nodded.
It seems that after meeting Eve, Black Tower stopped caring about their affairs.
Hmm... Why do I suddenly feel like I've been abandoned?
Just then, March 7th sidled up to Danheng, chattering like a cheerful little sparrow, "Hehe, Danheng! I got back to the train before you this time!"
"Oh, right, let me tell you, the curio collection room is so much fun."
"We also saw Black Tower's arrogant self-introduction, ugh, how embarrassing!"
At that very moment, the Black Tower, which was preparing to upgrade the simulated universe, suddenly sneezed.
"Oops, that's strange. This body clearly doesn't get sick anymore, so what's going on? Is someone talking about me behind my back?"
"How rude! Don't you know it's impolite to talk badly about someone behind their back? You should say it to their face!"
The Great Black Tower grumbled a few words, then threw itself back into the great undertaking of simulating the universe.
Eve's test gave her a lot of inspiration, and she had to come up with a new simulated universe plan before Screw and Nguyen Mai met again.
"Yes, it's decided, we'll call it the Universal Locust Plague!"
........................
Hearing what March 7th said, Dan Heng smiled slightly and then said, "Alright, March, it's time to get on the bus. Uncle Yang and Pam have probably been waiting for a long time."
"Huh? How did you know about Danheng?" March 7th asked in confusion.
"Because..." Dan Heng stopped mid-sentence, pointing to the train behind him.
"Huh?" March 7th turned around in confusion.
Turning their heads, they saw Walter Young standing by the window, looking at them with a resentful expression, while Pam was perched on Walter Young's head, her expression mirroring Walter Young's.
"Holy crap!! When?!" March 7th was startled.
"It seems to have started when you pounced on the cake like a hungry tiger but failed and fell to the ground," Himeko said after thinking for a moment.
"Ah! Why didn't you remind me, Himeko!" March Seven said with a resentful look.
"Isn't it because you seem to be having a good time chatting?" Himeko said with a smile.
On March 7th, he cautiously glanced over again and found that Uncle Yang and Pam were still looking at them with the same expression.
His expression was very melancholy.
It's like saying, do you know how long we've been waiting for you?
At this moment, Eve also noticed Walter Young and Pam's gazes.
She smiled slightly, and a glint of light flashed in her hand.
The next second, a vine sprouted inside the train and with a "whoosh," pulled down the curtain.
March 7th: "Huh?"
Eve: "You shouldn't peek at girls' private matters, okay?"
Himeko coughed a few times, attracting everyone's attention.
"Everyone, the rescue operation at Black Tower Space Station is now complete. We've replenished supplies and collected data. It's time for us to return to the Star Train."
March 7th was the first to respond enthusiastically, jumping up and saying, "Yay! Let's go!"
"Mm." Dan Heng nodded as well.
"Let's go, little star." Eve gently stroked the little gray boy's fur, who was still eating cake.
Xing's little mouth kept smacking, this was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten since she was born.
"Mmm." Xing wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth and nodded frantically.
...........
Star Train.
Walter Young and Pam had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that they had finally boarded the bus, the expressions on their faces became even more resentful.
"Alright, alright, stop it, Welt," Himeko said helplessly. "Pam is one thing, but why are you doing this too?"
“This is no excuse for you to stand under the train and not get on,” Walter Young said resentfully.
"After all, some things need to be clarified before getting on the bus," Himeko said earnestly.
Walter Young sighed. "Alright, so, is that person also traveling with us?"
His gaze turned toward the stars.
Himeko nodded. "Yes."
"After all, she has a star core inside her body. If Miss Eve is by her side, it will be easier to handle if she gets out of control."
"In addition, she seems to get along quite well with Miss Eve."
As Himeko spoke, she glanced at Eve, who was playing around with Hoshi and March 7 in the distance.
It seems there's going to be another cheerful person to liven up the atmosphere on the train.

Hi, hi, oh e(┬┬﹏┬┬)3 (Dejected version)
My darlings, I have a fever today. I struggled to write this in bed, but I'm too dizzy and can't take it anymore, so I'm taking a day off. Please forgive me.
