『 [ I'd like to ask about the Diviner General's experiences at the Yuque. ]
Stelle was very curious about the Xianzhou Yuque.
[ This seat was primarily assisting General Yao Guang, providing information on the beginning and end of the Ambrosial Arbor crisis, as well as verifying the truth of what the high-security prisoner, Jingliu, said… ]
[ To be honest, there was basically no time to rest, let alone any leisure experiences. ]
[ As for the results, although you are esteemed allies of the Xianzhou, now is not the best time to reveal them. This seat still needs to discuss further with Jing Yuan… ]
[ You all only need to quietly await the good news. ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "Diviner General, there's no need to reveal it. We already know!"
Fu Xuan: "…"
Fu Xuan: "At this point in time, even this seat did not yet know."
Fu Xuan: "The foresight of this live broadcast room is truly worrying."
March 7th: "Why does the Diviner General want us to quietly await the good news?"
March 7th: "Although we are allies of the Xianzhou, it shouldn't matter whether we know about this kind of thing or not, right?"
March 7th: "Could it be that this plan will ultimately require our help??"
Stelle: "Plotting to kill an Aeon… Holy cow, just thinking about it is thrilling!"
Stelle: "But I must say, I wouldn't dare to go!"
Jing Yuan: "Hahaha, you all are the trump card of our Xianzhou Alliance."
Jing Yuan: "Who knows, in the future when we implement some grand plan, we might actually need your assistance!"
Silver Wolf: "Scheming against an Aeon, now that's a high-level game."
Paimon: "Is everyone from the Express already about to deal with Aeons?"
Paimon: "Oh my gosh… this can't even be called an adventure anymore…"
Paimon: "Paimon is starting to doubt if a weakling with no combat power like me would even survive the first trailblazing expedition if I joined the Express."
Dan Heng: "There is no need to be so pessimistic."
Dan Heng: "The Astral Express has never ruled that combat power is required to join."
Dan Heng: "If you lack talent for combat, perhaps you have other areas where you can shine."
Lumine: "Mm, Paimon is very good at eating."
Lumine: "Just let her stay on the Express to help the Conductor cook."
Lumine: "And then do some odd jobs for the Conductor on the train."
Paimon: "Uh… although I'm very unwilling."
Paimon: "But that does seem like what I should be doing."
Paimon: "Sigh, if only I could have combat power someday…"
....
『 [ Does the Diviner General already know about Hoolay's prison break? ]
Stelle asked curiously.
[ This matter has caused quite a stir, so this seat naturally knows. ]
[ However, as with the citizens of the Xianzhou, learning that the Seat of Divine Foresight and the Ten-Chamber Commission controlled the entire matter made the outcome quite heartening. ]
[ On the return journey, this seat roughly divined the course of events. I must say, fortunately we had you, the guests of the Astral Express. The Luofu has crossed yet another hurdle. ] 』

Furina de Fontaine: "To be able to divine even the details so clearly."
Furina de Fontaine: "Diviner Fu's abilities are truly amazing."
Stelle: "Understood. We are actually lucky stars, here to ward off disasters for the Luofu."
Fu Xuan: "Mm, that is not incorrect."
March 7th: "So, we're actually not jinxes?"
Dan Heng: "…"
Dan Heng: "Did you always think of us that way?"
March 7th: "Ahaha… not really."
March 7th: "It's just that it feels like no matter where we go, big trouble happens. It's just a coincidence!"
Stelle: "Perhaps this is the guidance of the Trailblaze in the unseen."
Stelle: "Wherever there is trouble, we will go solve it!"
Stelle: "Tsk, as expected of us!"
....
『 [ Speaking of which, if the Diviner General was coming back, you should have told us earlier! ]
Stelle complained slightly that Fu Xuan didn't notify them in advance.
[ This seat is not one who likes to make a big fuss. It was merely returning from a business trip; there is no need for so many people to line the streets to welcome me. ]
[ However, I did contact Qingque in advance to have her pick me up at Starskiff Haven… ]
[ Hmph, I looked around, and she is not here either. It is time to return to the Divination Commission and hold her accountable. ]
Fu Xuan scanned the surroundings.
Finding no sign of Qingque, she immediately frowned deeply.
[ Haha, Qingque, you only have yourself to blame. ]
Hearing Fu Xuan's words, Stelle smiled with a bit of schadenfreude.
[ It's alright. It just so happens that Yanqing plans to bid farewell to the Express crew, and it also serves as a welcome back for the Diviner General. ]
[ Let's take a group photo together; that way it'll be complete. ]
March 7th suggested taking a photo with Fu Xuan.
[ Mm, Miss March's suggestion is good. Let's do that. ]
Fu Xuan nodded, and then everyone took a joyful group photo together. 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "QINGQUE, YOU'RE DOOMED!!"
Stelle: "Hurry up and run!"
Stelle: "Otherwise, you'll be in deep trouble very soon!"
Qingque: "Ah???"
Qingque: "No way?!"
Qingque: "Diviner General, did you get something wrong?"
Qingque: "Is it possible that you didn't actually send me a message, and this is just an illusion from you working too much overtime?"
Fu Xuan: "Oh?"
Fu Xuan: "Are you implying that at my young age, I am already starting to get senile?"
Qingque: "No, no, no!"
Qingque: "That's not what I meant!"
Fu Xuan: "Then what do you mean?"
Fu Xuan: "Slacking off to the point where you even forgot to pick me up?"
Qingque: "Oh, absolutely impossible!"
Qingque: "I always complete the tasks assigned to me by the Diviner General with utmost dedication!"
Qingque: "How could I forget?"
Stelle: "General Qing, stop making excuses."
Stelle: "You weren't even at the Starskiff Haven port!"
Stelle: "There's no sign of you here!"
Qingque: "Cough… there must have been an accident!"
Qingque: "Keep watching; I was definitely delayed by something!"
Qingque: "I swear!"
....
『 [ The Express crew has traveled to and from the Luofu multiple times. Even though we are guests invited by the Seat of Divine Foresight, there is no need to be too formal with the farewell. ]
[ We part today, but if the Xianzhou Alliance has anything to discuss in the future, please feel free to contact our Conductor. ]
After taking the photo, Dan Heng said to Fu Xuan.
[ After all, the Astral Express and the Xianzhou Alliance are already allies. ]
Fu Xuan nodded gladly.
[ Indeed. Even for esteemed guests who have traveled from afar across the vast starry sea, returning to the Luofu to meet is not always a difficult task. ]
[ I believe there will be opportunities to meet with you teachers again in the future to seek your guidance. ]
[ …To be honest, Yanqing also has plans to board the Express to travel around and hone himself. ]
[ I wonder what the teachers think of this? ]
Yanqing shifted the topic and looked at Stelle's trio.
[ We would definitely welcome you! ]
[ Oh right, aren't Himeko and Uncle Yang also returning today? ]
[ We can also discuss it with them… ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "Oh!"
Stelle: "Yanqing, you kid have good taste!"
Stelle: "If you want to hone yourself, choosing our Astral Express is definitely the right call!"
March 7th: "Of course!"
March 7th: "Just a few trailblazing expeditions are guaranteed to open Master Yanqing's eyes!"
Yanqing: "To be honest, seeing you teachers' adventures in Penacony, I feel that with my current strength, I am still a bit too weak."
Yanqing: "I was afraid of dragging you teachers down."
Stelle: "What's there to fear?"
Stelle: "Even March isn't afraid of dragging us down. As her master, are you still afraid of this?"
March 7th: "?"
March 7th: "Why does that sound so weird?"
March 7th: "Are you intentionally mocking me!"
Paimon: "I think Yanqing is already super, super strong!"
Paimon: "If he were on the Teyvat continent, even if a whole bunch of Hilichurls came over, they wouldn't be able to get close to him."
Paimon: "If I could have even one-tenth of Yanqing's skill, I would literally wake up laughing from my dreams!"
Lumine: "Paimon, why don't you also go learn from a master?"
Lumine: "Controlling flying swords doesn't require brute strength. Perhaps you have a talent for it?"
Paimon: "Oh… maybe I really do have a talent for controlling flying swords!"
Paimon: "Sigh, too bad we can't leave Teyvat right now. This is all just a fantasy."
Mona: "I recall that the sky of Teyvat is actually fake."
Mona: "If we could blast open this false sky, perhaps we could be found by the Astral Express?"
Qingque: "Blasting open the sky??"
Qingque: "Is that even possible?"
Mavuika: "Theoretically, as long as one is strong enough, it shouldn't be hard to do."
Mavuika: "It's just like how Miss Acheron slashed open the entirety of Ena's Dream before."
Mavuika: "The only thing we lack is that level of strength."
Mualani: "Even you can't do it, Lord Pyro Archon?"
Mavuika: "As for me… if I gave it my all, perhaps I could briefly tear open a gap."
Mavuika: "But it would quickly be repaired, so it wouldn't be of much use."
Paimon: "Lord Pyro Archon?"
Paimon: "So you are the Pyro Archon of Natlan?"
Paimon: "You didn't mention it at all before!"
Mavuika: "There's nothing worth mentioning. Compared to those powerhouses in the universe, the so-called title of god on us seems a bit ignorant of the vastness of the world."
Zhongli: "Based on common consensus, I also agree."
Zhongli: "The only existences in this world that can truly and deservedly be called gods are those majestic Aeons."
Pela: "Hearing your various descriptions, your world is really much stronger than our Jarilo-VI."
Serval Landau: "With long-life species and powerhouses called gods, it is indeed quite mysterious."
Welt Yang: "It is a world highly worth trailblazing."
Welt Yang: "Unfortunately, we cannot find the coordinates for now."
Welt Yang: "I hope to have the opportunity to visit in the future."
....
『 [ For now, Yanqing is still recovering from his injuries and has not made preparations to travel. There is no rush. ]
Hearing March 7th's words, Yanqing smiled.
[ Mm-hmm. ]
March 7th nodded.
[ Then we won't take up any more of your time. Dismissed! ]
Seeing that the farewell process was finished, Stelle shouted for dismissal.
[ Mm, let us conclude today's farewell here. Thank you for the warm hospitality of the Luofu. Dan Heng thanks you on behalf of the Express crew. ]
Dan Heng thanked them politely.
[ Safe travels to everyone on the Express. ]
Fu Xuan and Yanqing offered their blessings together.
Meanwhile, at that moment, on the other side of the port.
[ Even though the Wardance has ended, the Luofu is still so lively… Oh right, where are little March and the others? ]
Himeko, who had just stepped onto the port, looked around with some confusion.
[ Dan Heng said they were already waiting at the port. They should be nearby, right? ]
Welt was also a bit lost.
[ Congratulations to Diviner General Fu Xuan for her outstanding performance and brave efforts during her business trip to the Yuque! ]
[ Hereby, we warmly celebrate the triumphant return of the sole light of the Luofu's Divination Commission—the Diviner General, and the candidate for the Seat of Divine Foresight, Diviner General Fu Xuan! ]
Just as the two were puzzled, Qingque suddenly jumped out from a hidden corner! 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "Uh…"
March 7th: "Eh???"
Qingque: "AH!!!"
Qingque: "Oh no, there's been a mix-up!"
Welt Yang: "Haha… it seems the Luofu's port is too big, resulting in a misunderstanding."
Furina de Fontaine: "So, you guys actually got the location of the port wrong?"
Lumine: "This must be Miss Qingque."
Lumine: "Miss Qingque did indeed go to welcome Diviner Fu."
Lumine: "Unfortunately, she went to the wrong place."
Paimon: "Miss Himeko and Mr. Welt also went to a different port than Miss Stelle and the others."
Hu Tao: "Now a real misunderstanding has occurred."
Fu Xuan: "Qingque, oh Qingque. Is this how half-heartedly you handle the tasks I assign to you?"
Qingque: "Diviner General, I didn't!"
Qingque: "Look, didn't I go?"
Qingque: "I even forgot to eat and sleep to come up with the congratulatory speech!"
Qingque: "Cough… although I accidentally remembered the wrong place…"
Bai Lu: "The sole light of the Divination Commission, candidate for the Seat of Divine Foresight… pfft!"
Bai Lu: "Hahaha, this congratulatory speech of yours sounds so embarrassing."
Bai Lu: "If someone welcomed me like that, I'd probably be too embarrassed to step off the starskiff."
....
『 [ …Little girl, look closely. We are not… Diviner General Fu Xuan? ]
Himeko was completely baffled by this scene.
[ Eh? Mr. Yang, and next to you, is that Miss Himeko? ]
Qingque also realized something was wrong at this moment.
[ Indeed. ]
Welt nodded.
[ Then where is the Diviner General? ]
Qingque asked in a daze.
[ We don't know either. Is your Diviner General arriving here at this time? ]
Himeko shook her head.
[ Could it be that I missed her?! ]
[ Huuuuh—!? ]
Qingque thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that things were going terribly wrong! 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Mualani: "So… which of them actually went to the wrong place?"
March 7th: "We don't know."
March 7th: "But I guess, in the end, Miss Qingque will have to take the blame!"
March 7th: "After all, that's what employees are for. (smirk.jpg)"
Qingque: "Miss March 7th, you really understand the suffering of us working people!"
Fu Xuan: "Qingque, are you implying that this seat would falsely accuse and wrong you?"
Qingque: "No, no, no!"
Qingque: "That's not what I meant!"
Qingque: "The Diviner General is divinely brilliant; it is absolutely impossible for you to make a minor mistake like going to the wrong place."
Qingque: "It must be that I was lightheaded from work and remembered the wrong place!"
Stelle: "Hahaha, it would be more convincing if you said you were lightheaded from playing cards."
....
『 Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, some time had passed.
On this day, Stelle, who was wandering around the train, received a group message.
⚠︎, The Astral Express Family
" /Himeko: Is everyone here? "
" /March 7th: Here! "
" /Dan Heng: Here "
" /Himeko: I have some news to share with everyone "
" /March 7th: Wow, what news? "
" /Stelle: I've been a bit busy lately "
" /March 7th: Indeed, I see her running around everywhere every day "
" /March 7th: …She's not about to jump ship, is she? "
" /Himeko: Then when everyone is free, let's gather. Welt and I are waiting for you in the Parlor Car " 』

Stelle: "Tsk, back in the carriage in the blink of an eye."
Stelle: "This live broadcast room really knows how to edit."
March 7th: "It looks like a new journey is about to begin. I'm really looking forward to it!"
