In the brilliant galaxy, a retro train sped through the vacuum.
The train left a silver star trail, which then gradually disappeared among the stars.
This train was none other than the famous Astral Express, and the Nameless ones aboard it had left countless legends on innumerable planets.
Heroes descending from the sky, chivalrous individuals acting bravely, saviors saving the world…
Now, the train, having just offered assistance to the Herta Space Station, continued its journey to the next destination.
Inside the train, Pom-Pom’s furry voice, the mascot of the Astral Express, rang out from the broadcast.
“Warp jump is about to begin, please get ready. 5, 4, 3, huh? Why is there a person in front?!”
Pom-Pom’s stern voice suddenly became incredibly flustered: “Oh no! Brakes! No… can’t… can’t stop! It’s too late!”
Due to the emergency braking, there was a commotion in the carriage, everyone else fell onto the sofas, but March 7th, who was doing the no-fall challenge, was the most miserable, splatting against the carriage wall in a large ‘X’ shape.
“Ugh… darn it! Making this girl so miserable, I must ruthlessly ‘rua’ the Conductor for an hour to forgive him!”
March 7th slowly slid down from the wall, got up, rubbed her red face, and gritted her teeth.
“Tap tap tap…”
A series of hurried and irregular footsteps came from the cockpit, then the carriage door opened, and Pom-Pom, with big eyes full of tears and a flustered expression, appeared before everyone.
“Pom-Pom, what’s wrong? What happened?” Himeko stood up and asked.
Pom-Pom rushed over and hugged Himeko’s leg, crying sadly: “Waaah, Himeko, what should I do? I… I hit someone.”
March 7th: “What? Pom-Pom ran over someone?”
Dan Heng, who had just come out of the archives: “What? Pom-Pom actually ran over someone?”
Star: “What? Pom-Pom actually ran over a group of people?”
“No, I didn’t! Pom-Pom only hit one person! He suddenly appeared in front of the train, there was no time to dodge!”
Pom-Pom, still crying and hugging Himeko’s leg, turned her head and fiercely defended herself, then buried her furry head back into Himeko’s lap.
“Tap.”
Welt lightly tapped Star’s head with his cane, and Star quickly covered her head, pretending to be in pain.
“Don’t mess around, let’s figure out what happened first. Pom-Pom, did you perform the warp jump?”
“Not yet, I haven’t counted to 1, and I haven’t pressed the warp button yet.”
“Since you haven’t warped yet, where are we now?” Welt pointed out the window.
Outside the window, it was no longer the vast starry sea from before, but a field of half-human-high grass, with a small village not far away.
“Huh? What’s going on? I… I remember now, just before hitting that person, a wormhole suddenly appeared behind him! I didn’t have time to react, and the train, along with that person, rushed into the wormhole at once.”
Pom-Pom was first in disbelief, then recalled.
“Alright, I understand.” Welt adjusted his glasses: “Regardless of the origin of the person who suddenly appeared, the most important thing now is to go out and see how the person who was hit is, and secondly, to confirm where this wormhole has transported us.”
“Mhm mhm.”
Pom-Pom nodded repeatedly. Although she had driven the train to damage people before, hitting an innocent passerby was truly the first time. If she really killed someone, Pom-Pom would feel guilty for a long time.
“Dan Heng, go to the database and check our location. Himeko, Pom-Pom cannot get off the train, you stay on the train with her. She is very scared right now, please comfort her well. March, Star, you two come with me to get off the train and look for the person who was hit.” Welt arranged.
Dan Heng nodded silently and turned back to the database, while Pom-Pom looked at Welt expectantly and said: “Once you find him, be sure to tell me his condition immediately. Someone who can appear out of thin air in space definitely won’t be killed by a collision!”
“Don’t worry.”
The train door opened, and Welt led March 7th and Star out of the train.
“Based on the train’s speed after braking, according to my calculations, that person was probably thrown about 50 to 80 meters. March, Star, you two go search to the left front of the train, I’ll go search to the right front.” Welt said.
“Wow, Star, did you see that? As expected of a mature and steady adult, he’s not flustered at all when something happens, calming down so quickly and organizing everything perfectly.” March 7th elbowed Star beside her, envying, when will she be able to be so mature and steady.
“I wasn’t flustered either, because being flustered is useless.” Star puffed out her chest and put her hands on her hips.
“Hmph, I think you didn’t even realize what just happened.” March 7th said with disdain.
“I know what just happened, you were splatted against the wall.” Star said confidently.
“Ah?! Shut up! Don’t say it! Forget it!” March 7th covered her face. This was much more embarrassing than falling in the no-fall challenge.
The two bickered while pushing aside the half-human-high grass to search.
More than ten minutes later, Star pushed aside the grass, and a person wearing a bulky camouflage suit, carrying a half-human-high camouflage backpack, and with a multi-purpose military shovel tucked at his waist, appeared before her.
The person looked unharmed, but seemed to be unconscious.
Star quickly shouted: “I found him!”
“Really? That’s great! Why is that person wearing green clothes? It’s so hard to find him in this grass!” March 7th ran over with a slight complaint.
She glanced at the person on the ground, then at the screenshot Pom-Pom had sent on her Phone, yes, it was this person!
The person was unconscious, this scene seemed familiar, didn't it?
Let this girl think about what to do.
Herta Space Station, Dan Heng, Star, unconscious…
A lightbulb seemed to light up above March 7th’s head.
“I got it!” March 7th hammered her right palm with her left fist. Now, this girl is also a mature, steady, and reliable adult!
“Star, quickly perform CPR!”
“Huh? I don’t know how.” Star looked bewildered.
March 7th took a deep breath. Alright, Star has amnesia, she’s only like a baby a few days old now, so, only this mature, steady, and reliable girl can do it herself!
March 7th helped the person up. This person had neat black short hair, a chiseled face, a high nose, thin lips, and sword-like eyebrows. He seemed quite handsome.
March 7th took another deep breath, closed her eyes, and slowly lowered her head.
