Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Beidou: Miss Robin, are the wings on your head real?

『 The video continued.

After Stelle watched Aventurine and Sunday leave, He returned to where everyone else was, and regrouped with them.

[ March 7th: Wait a minute, I'm sorry, but are you... the...? The singer, Epsilon's superstar... If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking. That's your song, isn't it? ]

March 7th looked at Robin, suddenly realizing something belatedly, her voice gradually becoming excited.

[ Robin: I didn't expect such a lovely young lady to be a fan of mine. ]

Robin smiled, finding it a bit surprising.

[ March 7th: Ah, it really is "Robin"! To actually meet the real person here… ]

March 7th was overjoyed to meet her favorite big star.

[ Robin: It's also my honor to meet all of you. ]

Robin's reply was very modest.

[ Welt: Are you, like that gentleman, a member of the Family of Penacony? ]

At this moment, Welt inquired.

[ Robin: Truth be told, I am a guest like everyone. Penacony is my hometown, but I left when I was older. I was graciously invited this time to return and sing a song at the Charmony Festival. ]

[ The Sunday you mentioned is my elder brother, one of the local spokespersons of Penacony, and also the host of this "Charmony Festival." He heard that you encountered trouble, so he brought me here to offer help. ]

[ It's a pity we arrived a bit late and caused you an unpleasant stay. I am truly sorry. ]

Robin explained to everyone very sincerely.

[ Sunday: Please rest assured, I have instructed Miss Alley to resolve the "system malfunction" as soon as possible—and to upgrade your room types as compensation. The hotel will arrange suitable rooms shortly. ]

[ Mr. Aventurine has an appointment with the "Oak Family" and has checked in first. I apologize on his behalf to the Astral Express crew and look forward to working with you all in the future. ]

While they were talking, Sunday returned, came to Robin's side, and spoke to the Express crew.

[ Welt: Thank you for being willing to mediate. However, wouldn't it be inappropriate to upgrade our room types alone? As far as I know, there should be quite a few faction guests who received invitations, right? ]

Welt was very grateful for Sunday's help.

But he was a bit hesitant about his arrangements.

[ Sunday: Please rest assured, the Family will take responsibility for communicating. As you have graced Penacony with your presence, as the actual administrators, we should resolve your worries and difficulties. ]

Sunday dispelled Welt's concerns.

[ Sunday: I apologize for taking up your valuable time. We won't disturb you any further. If you need anything in Penacony, the Family is always at your service. ]

[ Robin: May you all have a wonderful time in your dreams. ]

Sunday and Robin, seeing that things were almost handled, said their goodbyes and left together.

[ March 7th: Oh, it really was quite a rollercoaster. Since that Sunday… Mr. Sunday gave his word, we can finally check in normally, right? ]

After Sunday and the others left, March 7th couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

[ Stelle: Are all the Family's names that strange? ]

Stelle's focus was peculiar.

[ March 7th: That should just be a stage name… right? ]

March 7th said with some uncertainty.

[ Himeko: I think so too. This should be some kind of rule of Penacony or the Family. ]

Himeko agreed with March 7th's statement.

[ Himeko: Alright, there's no one queuing in the lobby now, let's go find Miss Alley… ]

Himeko glanced at the front desk and started leading everyone over.

Upon arriving at the front desk, the service lady apologized to everyone several times, then took out a few passports and handed them over.

According to her introduction, these passports were the hotel room cards and integrated some smart assistance functions.

But at the same time, this was also a unique Penacony souvenir!

After introducing these, the service lady pointed everyone in a direction, where there was an elevator. Taking this elevator would lead directly to the guest rooms.

Upon hearing this, everyone bid farewell to the service lady Alley, and began walking towards the elevator together.

[ March 7th: The world of dreams… I heard Penacony transformed dreams into a magnificent metropolis… What will it be like? I'm so excited~ ]

On the way, March 7th skipped along, her face full of anticipation.

Everyone quickly arrived in front of the elevator, then took the elevator to the upper floor.

[ Himeko: Following this path will lead to the guest room area. ]

After exiting the elevator, Himeko began to lead the way.

[ Welt: What a long walk… Is this hotel a bit exaggeratedly large? ]

Walking for such a long time made Welt a little astonished.

Finally, after walking for a while longer, they arrived at the public lounge area of the guest rooms. 』

March 7th: "Wow, it's the living Miss Robin!"

March 7th: "Is Miss Robin also in Penacony?"

March 7th: "I wonder if I can get an autograph when we meet?"

March 7th was excited to see Robin also in Penacony.

Robin: "Hehe, thank you for your affection, Miss March 7th."

Robin: "Once you arrive in Penacony, just come directly to me. I will personally guide the Astral Express crew to check into the hotel, to prevent you from encountering the kind of accident shown in the video."

Himeko: "Then we thank you in advance, Miss Robin."

Seeing Robin's message, Himeko quickly expressed her gratitude.

Lumine: "From the video, Miss Robin seems to be a big star?"

Asta: "Yes, Miss Robin is a superstar renowned throughout the universe. Her singing voice is considered the best in the galaxy, and she has released many famous album songs."

Paimon: "Wow, that's amazing!"

Paimon: "I really want to hear Miss Robin sing!"

Klee: "Klee wants to hear Sister Robin sing too!"

Beidou: "Um… I want to ask Miss Robin a question, but I'm afraid my words might be offensive…"

Robin: "Hmm? It's fine. Miss Beidou, just say it directly."

Beidou: "Then I'll ask, don't get angry, okay!"

Beidou: "Why do you have a pair of small wings on both sides of your ears?"

Beidou: "And the halo on your head, is it some kind of ornament?"

....

On the Alcor—

"Kazuha, do you think those wings behind Miss Robin's head are real? And the metal ring on her head, it can actually float in mid-air. Heh, that's quite interesting!"

At the table, Beidou took a sip of wine, looking curious as she spoke to Kazuha next to her.

"Captain, in my opinion, these should be some kind of accessories, right? Perhaps, this is also one of the 'Family's' styles?"

Kazuha stroked his chin, thinking that these should just be decorations with special meanings.

Just like the stage names mentioned in the video, representing different meanings.

"Kazuha, you make a good point. I thought so too."

Hanabi: "Hehehe… why does she have… wings on her head?"

Hanabi: "That's a good question!"

Hanabi: "Hehehe, the answer is!"

Hanabi: "She's a chicken wing girl!"

Hanabi: "And her brother is a chicken wing boy~ (covers mouth to stifle a laugh.jpg)"

Beidou's question had just been asked, Robin hadn't even had time to react, when Hanabi's comments appeared one after another.

March 7th: "Chi… Chicken wing girl?"

March 7th: "Miss Hanabi, I think you're going a bit too far!"

March 7th: "Don't just give people nicknames!"

Paimon: "Exactly! Miss Robin is so beautiful, how can you bear to tarnish her image!"

Paimon: "Even I, Paimon, can't bring myself to do that!"

Arataki Itto: "Then you, Flying Lavender Melon, can bring yourself to give me nicknames? What kind of twisted logic is that? Am I not dashing and handsome?"

Paimon: "Bull-Chucker! Have some self-awareness, alright! How can you compare to Miss Robin!"

Paimon: "Miss Robin is a superstar of the universe! A superstar! Do you understand?"

Arataki Itto: "What's wrong with being a superstar? I, Arataki Itto, am also a superstar in Inazuma!"

Kuki Shinobu: "Boss… maybe you shouldn't say anything… we really can't compare to Miss Robin…"

Robin: "Alright, alright, everyone, please don't argue over me anymore."

Robin: "I believe Miss Hanabi was just joking, I won't mind."

Robin: "Also, regarding Miss Beidou's question, it's actually easy to explain."

Robin: "My brother and I are both Halovians. The halo on our heads and the ear feathers behind our ears are something we are born with."

Robin stopped the argument and answered Beidou's question.

Beidou: "It's natural… So that's how it is."

Beidou: "Thank you for the explanation, Miss Robin."

Robin: "You're welcome."

"Hey, Kazuha, did you see that? Those things on her head are actually real."

After getting the answer, Beidou was a little surprised.

"Captain, I saw it. It seems that not all people in the universe look like us. This really broadens our horizons."

Kazuha nodded, feeling that his perspective had been widened even further.
