Stellar Train: I Open a Small Shop on the Train-Chapter 96

Pom-Pom trotted toward Ye Yun's shop on her short legs.

Ye Yun called out to her.

"Pom-Pom, go cook over in your kitchen."

Pom-Pom paused, a bit puzzled, but still obeyed and ran off to her kitchen.

Ye Yun then turned to Misha.

"Let's sit for a while."

Misha nodded slightly.

The two of them, along with the six little ones, sat down on a sofa.

Ye Yun voiced his question.

"I'm not a Nameless passenger, so why can I still see your memory body?"

Misha smiled and explained.

"What is a Nameless passenger? Nameless passengers aren't just those who hold a ticket — everyone traveling together counts as Nameless.

Even if it's only for a short time, they're still Nameless.

Ye Yun, I assume you've been on the train for a while now?"

Ye Yun suddenly understood — no wonder.

Misha glanced at Pom-Pom, who was busy cooking at the stove.

"How wonderful... I didn't expect to return to the train once more before my existence completely vanished into the universe, even if it's only in a dream."

Ye Yun understood Misha's meaning: Misha was only a memory body, tasked with passing on Mikhail's pioneering spirit to a new generation of Nameless.

Once that mission was complete, he would also disappear.

Ye Yun smiled, thinking to himself: As expected of Mikhail — he noticed something was off so quickly.

"You figured it out?"

Misha gazed thoughtfully out the window and nodded.

"Yeah, my family went a bit overboard."

Ye Yun asked,

"Would you like to continue journeying with the train?"

Hearing the word "pioneering," Misha was flooded with old memories.

"Of course I would... but my journey has already ended."

Ye Yun shook his head.

"That's a small matter. I can make it so your body becomes real."

Misha was a little surprised.

"Really, Mr. Ye Yun?"

Ye Yun smiled.

"Of course. Give me a moment — I'll find something for you."

With that, Ye Yun opened the system store and searched for a bit.

Before long, he found what he wanted:

[Item: Grade-One Immortal Puppet (Customizable Appearance Version)Description: A puppet from a cultivation world, suitable for Qi Refining stage use. It can host a soul and nourish a soul body. It can be upgraded with star coins later.Price: 3000 star coins]

This item was perfect for Misha — it would allow his memory body to inhabit it.

Misha looked at the puppet that suddenly appeared beside him — it looked exactly like him.

Ye Yun said,

"This is an Immortal Puppet. It can host and nourish a soul body. Give it a try."

Misha thanked him.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye Yun. This must be expensive, right?"

Ye Yun replied,

"It's free. I have a deal with the train crew — every month I can take one 3000-star-coin item from my store.

They seem to have forgotten about it by now, so we'll just deduct the cost of this puppet.

Alright, give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Misha approached the puppet and touched it.

The moment they made contact, a powerful suction force pulled him inside.

Immediately after, the Immortal Puppet started moving.

Misha moved around to get used to the new body.

Ye Yun asked,

"How does it feel?"

Misha was very happy.

"I feel great. I can control this puppet freely — it feels like it's my own body.

Also, my memory body feels much more stable now."

Ye Yun nodded.

"That's good."

Misha stayed inside the Immortal Puppet for a while before popping back out.

Ye Yun noticed.

"Why did you come out? Staying inside will help stabilize your memory body."

Misha explained,

"I still have a mission to complete. After I eat Pom-Pom's train hotpot, I'll have to leave."

Ye Yun nodded.

"Alright, I'll have Pom-Pom help you store the Immortal Puppet afterward."

Inside the Dreamscape Bar...

Stelle, Kiana, Mei, March 7th, Amber, and Hu Tao were goofing around behind the bar.

Each of them was holding a cocktail glass, trying to mix drinks.

Kiana stared at her cup thoughtfully.

"Mei, what if I add some instant noodles?"

Mei twitched at the suggestion.

"Uh... maybe don't?"

Kiana waved it off.

"Didn't bartender Shioban say we can add anything? I'll throw some noodles in, hehe."

No sooner said than done, Kiana took out a cup of instant noodles, cooked it, poured it into her glass, then added various colorful liquors.

She stirred it with a straw and placed a little origami bird on top for decoration.

"All done! Kiana's Special Cocktail is ready. Anyone want to try?"

The others shook their heads — they were okay with messing around, but this was too much.Noodles and liquor? Could that even be drinkable?

Seeing no one wanted to try, Kiana pouted.

"Fine, I'll drink it myself."

She took a big sip through the straw — and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Mmm~ Pretty good! Tastes like instant noodles!"

Stelle and the others stared at Kiana in disbelief.

"Wait, you can actually drink that?!"

Siobhan, standing nearby, explained,

"This is a dream. Your sensations are shaped by your thoughts.

If you think it tastes good, then it will taste good."

Hearing that, the others finally understood.

Stelle grinned mischievously and pulled out a can of surströmming (fermented herring).

March 7th's eyes went wide.

"No way, Stelle! You're seriously going to add that?!"

Stelle nodded matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, why not?"

She opened the can and poured the contents into her glass, swirling it around to spread the fish evenly.

March 7th quickly pinched her nose.

"Stelle, get it away! It stinks!"

Star said,

"March, just imagine it's delicious. This is a dream."

March 7th closed her eyes and tried, but eventually gave up.

"I can't! The impression is too strong!"

Stelle chuckled.

"Then I'll drink it!"

She took a big sip — and surprisingly, she found it tasted pretty good.

Only the color looked... questionable.

The girls continued messing around until Himeko called out,

"Stelle, March, come over — it's time to head out."

Hearing this, the group quickly gathered around Himeko.

Sometime later...

Gallagher led the group to Dreamflux Reef, the original birthplace of Penacony.

They walked through dim, flickering alleys, the broken streetlights giving the place an eerie atmosphere.

In the alleys, a few people wandered about — each of them bearing a common trait: sorrow.

Their emotions were deeply downcast and gloomy.

At the end of the alley, the group took an elevator upward. After a while, the depressing atmosphere faded, replaced by a relatively bustling little town.

***

The group arrived at the town, where they met the mayor, saw Firefly, encountered the supposedly deceased Robin, and met Sunday, who had been brought by Gallagher. They also found the graves of three former Nameless.

Led by Gallagher, the four members of the train crew arrived at the place where Mikhail had passed away.

As for Kiana, Firefly, Lumine, and Hu Tao, they wandered around Dreamflux Reef, looking for treasure chests in hopes of finding some Stellar Jade.

Meanwhile, Stelle, March 7th, Himeko, and Welt reached the highest point of the garden, where they found Mikhail's remains — and the Dream Bubble he was holding.

Gallagher spoke.

"This Dream Bubble is what the old man left for you. I checked it already — there's nothing inside. Maybe it can only be opened by you Nameless, perhaps with some kind of key or password."

Himeko turned to Stelle.

"Stelle, give it a try."

Hearing that, Stelle reached toward the Dream Bubble.

But the result was disappointing — there was indeed nothing inside, only emptiness.

"There's nothing inside."

Everyone was puzzled by this.

At that moment, Misha walked up the stairs, bringing along the Clockboy.

"Of course there's nothing inside — because the thing inside ran out.

He heard the whistle of the train and couldn't wait to see it, to meet the Nameless.

Dear guests, we meet again. I am Misha, the bellboy of the hotel.

Of course, you can also call me by another name — Mikhail."

March 7th looked at Misha in disbelief.

"You're... Senior Mikhail?"

She glanced at the aged Mikhail sitting in a wheelchair, then back at the youthful Misha — they looked alike, but this made no sense.

Himeko and Welt, however, already understood.

Misha continued.

"I am a small fragment of Mikhail's life.

Many years ago, I boarded the train and traveled the universe with it. I was lucky to spend that time with many great people.

I'm sorry — the Clockmaker's so-called legacy was just a lie.

However, if anything can be considered a legacy, it's the belief that still burns within this old chest.

The hands of a clock turn endlessly, just like people's confusion, worries, and wavering weaknesses.

But like your clock hands, they will always point forward.

The journey of pioneering never ends. With your will, continue to forge ahead.

And I will quietly watch over you, watching you reach even farther into the future."

After hearing Misha's words, Welt caught an important point.

"You said you'll watch us reach farther into the future — meaning?"

Misha smiled.

"That's right. Before this, I met Mr. Ye Yun. From Pom-Pom, I learned he is a great person too.

He gave me a body, allowing my memory form to dwell within it."

Himeko was surprised that Misha had met Ye Yun. She looked warmly at him.

"Senior Mikhail, welcome home."

March 7th happily waved.

"Senior Mikhail, welcome back!"

Welt and Stelle also expressed their gratitude for Mikhail's return.

Misha then said,

"Go now. Do what you must — free those trapped in the dream."

Himeko, Welt, and the others nodded firmly.

Misha smiled and said,

"Good luck. See you on the train."

The four — Himeko, Welt, March 7th, and Stelle — left Mikhail's resting place.

At the Grand Theater, Stelle, Himeko, Hu Tao, Lumine, and the others all entered.

They were participating in a grand festival organized by the IPC.

Through this festival, they could gain access to the interior of the Grand Theater to seal the Stellaron.

Stelle was grouped with Firefly.

Firefly noticed Stelle was a bit distracted.

"Stelle, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing her, Stelle didn't hide it and shared her thoughts.

"I was wondering... whether Senior Mikhail has any Stellar Jade. He traveled through so many worlds."

Firefly thought for a moment.

"Once we're back on the train after all this, you can ask him."

Hearing this, Stelle decided she would ask Mikhail later.

After that, the two continued to compete. After defeating a "Galactic Street Roving Punk," they finally reached the door of the Grand Theater.

Meanwhile...

On Acheron's side, she and Black Swan encountered the long-missing Galaxy Ranger.

"You treasure-snatching bastard, you dare show your face before me again? I'll blow your head off with one shot!"

Boothill pointed a revolver straight at Acheron's forehead.

Acheron apologized calmly.

"Sorry. I've been trying to find your traces to return a relic to you.

But I never managed to find you."

Boothill narrowed his eyes.

"So, you walked around under the name of the Galaxy Rangers, hoping we'd come find you?"

Acheron nodded without denying it.

"Yes. And as it turns out, I was right."

Acheron took off a pendant and handed it to Boothill.

"This is that person's relic. I don't know its use, but I'm finally returning it to you."

Once Boothill understood the situation, he lowered his gun, accepted the pendant, and smiled.

"Of course you didn't know — this is a hero's symbol. Only someone who made great contributions to the Galaxy Rangers would have it.

When it's raised, no matter how far away, every Galaxy Ranger will rush to it.

Because when it's raised, it signifies the fall of a hero — and it tells us: injustice remains here."

Acheron and Black Swan were surprised.

So that's what it meant.

Just then—

A portal opened beside them, and Aha reached through, snatching away the bullet.

"Hahaha! This looks fun! Aha's borrowing it for a bit~"

Before Acheron could react, Aha closed the portal and vanished.

Not far away, in the night sky, a bullet shot upward.

The bullet streaked across the sky like a meteor, and countless shooting stars followed behind it.

Each one represented a Galaxy Ranger.

Boothill was stunned.

"Treasure-snatching bastard! Who dares steal from the Galaxy Rangers?!"

Black Swan covered her mouth and laughed softly.

"He said it himself — his name is Aha."

Acheron nodded.

"I couldn't even react in time. I'm no match for him."

Realizing this, Boothill suddenly shuddered.

"Treasure-snatching bastard... That's really the Aeon of Elation?! Damn it!"

Meanwhile, back to Stelle's side—

They encountered Sunday.

Sunday was giving a speech.

"In my view, the ideal system for society is 'Seven Sundays.'

After Sunday, there would be another Sunday, and another, forever.

This would be the face of the new world: eternal days of doing nothing, and endless peace."
