Stellar Train: I Open a Small Shop on the Train-Chapter 109

"Really? Ye Yun and the others are here? Where's Stelle and the rest? I want to go find them!"

Theresa was speechless—there Kiana goes again, being silly.

"Go after we deal with the Moonlight Throne! We're still in a battle!"

Kiana snapped back to attention.

"Oh! Right, right, right! Forget the jet, I'll just fly over myself! Woohoo~ lift off!"

Kiana activated the Athena Valkyrie armor and shot into the air, rapidly flying toward the Moonlight Throne above.

Inside the Moonlight Throne—

Kiana kicked through the outer shell and charged inside.

Mei, who had been waiting outside for quite a while, sighed speechlessly—she had waited for nothing.

So Mei and Bronya finally met up with Kiana inside the Moonlight Throne.

As soon as Kiana saw Mei, she ran over excitedly and hugged her.

"Mei~ did you see me just now? Wasn't I amazing?"

Mei smiled and patted Kiana's hair.

"You were great. Kiana's the best!"

Bronya interjected at this moment.

"Enough chatting, idiot Kiana. Let's go deal with the Moonlight Throne first."

Kiana got riled up when Bronya called her an idiot again.

"You're the idiot! I'm the Athena Valkyrie, symbol of wisdom! Look at my head!"

Bronya glanced at Kiana.

"Athena is the wise one—not you, idiot Kiana."

As she said that, Bronya was already cracking the password to the large door in front of them.

Kiana was driven mad by Bronya's sarcasm.

"Bronya! You little shrimp!"

Just then, Bronya successfully hacked in and opened the door, walking right in.

Kiana was left fuming, with nowhere to vent her anger.

Mei chuckled and comforted her.

"All right, all right, Kiana, let's focus on the mission first."

Kiana sighed and followed into the Moonlight Throne.

The three of them smoothly defeated the Honkai beasts inside the Moonlight Throne and reached its control core, successfully shutting down the engines and recovering the unit.

On the ground, with help from Stelle and the others, the ground battle had nearly concluded.

All survivors in the city had been evacuated.

Ye Yun and the others also arrived aboard Theresa's battleship.

After scanning Canghai City again and confirming no survivors remained, Theresa finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"All done. Thank you all for the help—without you, those survivors might not have made it."

Ye Yun smiled and shook his head.

"No need to thank us."

Just then, Stelle asked curiously:

"So, that means the city now only has Honkai beasts left, right?"

Teresa nodded.

"Yes, why?"

Stelle grinned and pulled out Judgment of Shamash.

"Time to wrap this up."

She stepped onto the deck, her Judgment of Shamash running at full power.

Theresa saw this and instantly realized Stelle's intention.

Of everyone here, no one knew better than her just how terrifying that weapon was.

"Oh no! Stelle! Stop—!"

But it was already too late.

Stelle shouted:

"Judgment of Shamash—Annihilation!"

With one slash, the entirety of Canghai City was engulfed in raging flames.

At Schicksal HQ, Otto was monitoring the battle.

In his view, the moment Stelle unleashed her slash, all video feeds from Canghai City were destroyed.

When the firestorm finally cleared, the entire city had been razed to the ground. Ashes drifted in the sky.

Theresa hovered stiffly in the air.

"Is everyone who uses Judgment of Shamash this reckless?

Siegfried was like this, and now Stelle too?!"

Looking at the flattened city below, Theresa sighed.

"Well... whatever.

Worst case, we'll just rebuild a new city. At least there's nothing left to demolish now."

Stelle, after unleashing her slash, felt great relief and emotional release.

She had been holding back during the rescue, unable to let loose. That slash vented all her frustration.

Content, Stelle returned to the cabin, plopped into a seat, and took a big gulp of ice-cold cola.

Theresa piloted the battleship toward the Moonlight Throne.

She knew why the Moonlight Throne had appeared here—it was part of a plan she and Tesla had devised.

When everyone arrived, Kiana, Bronya, and Mei were already waiting on the deck.

"Auntie! You're finally here!" Kiana waved excitedly and bounced over.

She spotted the others.

"Stelle! March!"

Kiana dashed over to Stelle and March 7th.

Stelle raised an eyebrow.

"Long time no see, Kiana. I heard you've been training hard lately—how's it going?"

Stelle patted her chest proudly.

"Of course it's going great! Didn't you see me showing off just now? Wasn't I cool?"

Stelle shook her head.

"I wouldn't know~ I didn't see you.

By the way, did you see my slash just now?"

Kiana nodded.

"I did, what about it?"

Stelle grinned.

"So? Wasn't it cool?"

Kiana nodded enthusiastically.

"Cool!"

Stelle patted her shoulder.

"Want to learn it?"

Kiana didn't hesitate—of course she wanted to learn!

"Yes!"

Stelle pulled out Judgment of Shamash.

"First, you need to get yourself one of these."

Kiana pointed at Ye Yun.

"Can I buy one from Ye Yun?"

Stelle nodded.

"Yep, just go see Ye Yun later. I'll teach you how to wield a greatsword!"

Kiana was thrilled just imagining herself unleashing an awesome attack with Judgment of Shamash.

Wielding a greatsword—it was just too cool!

Later, Theresa took control of the Moonlight Throne and piloted it toward St. Freya Academy.

She called everyone together to invite them for a celebratory meal—a victory feast.

After all, they had completely wiped out all the Honkai beasts in Canghai City during this battle.

Ye Yun and the others had nothing urgent to do, so they gladly accepted.

Calestia and Kiana stared at each other wide-eyed.

***

Kiana and Calestia were both stunned — the other looked exactly like them!

Calestia had a look like she'd seen a ghost.

"Why do you look exactly like me?"

Kiana shot back, "I was about to ask you the same thing. Why do you look exactly like me?"

Ye Yun chimed in from the side, "You two are probably the same as the two Himekos — counterparts from different worlds."

Calestia and Kiana nodded in realization.

Then the two of them put their arms around each other and walked off to the side, whispering about something.

Meanwhile, Bronya was chatting with Silver Wolf.

Silver Wolf said, "I recently found a new virtual online game. Want to try it? It's set in a punk-mechanical world, and you can race motorcycles on the streets."

As soon as Bronya heard there was racing, she immediately agreed.

"Let's go!"

Silver Wolf took out two neural devices.

"These are neural devices that connect to your neurons."

Bronya took it and put it on, but suddenly the interface lit up red — it couldn't connect to her neurons.

Silver Wolf frowned. "What's going on? Bronya, do you mind if I scan your body?"

Bronya shook her head. "I don't mind."

Silver Wolf tapped lightly on her headset, and a tactical visor appeared, scanning Bronya's entire body.

Soon, Silver Wolf found the issue.

"Interesting. Bronya, you have a chip in your brain — a biochip connected to your neurons. No wonder the neural device doesn't work. Want me to take it out? It's not exactly a good thing to have."

Bronya looked at her with hope. "You can really do that?"

Silver Wolf nodded. "Piece of cake. The tech is simple — give me a few minutes. So? Want me to help?"

Bronya nodded excitedly. "Please."

Finally, she could free herself from her mother's control. She wouldn't have to do things she didn't want to anymore.

Silver Wolf had Bronya lie on a table and summoned her ether keyboard. After scanning Bronya again, she started the operation.

The scene attracted the attention of the others, who gathered around.

Silver Wolf glanced at them. "I'm in the middle of a procedure. Don't crowd me — I need good airflow."

Mei looked on, worried. "Silver Wolf, what's wrong with Bronya?"

Silver Wolf answered casually, "Nothing major. Just a biochip in her brain that controls her actions. I'm removing it. Don't talk to me right now — ask Bronya later."

Everyone fell silent, watching Silver Wolf work.

With some deft maneuvering, Silver Wolf quickly removed the biochip.

She stretched lazily. "Done! You can get up now, Bronya."

Bronya stood up. She could feel the difference and gave Silver Wolf a grateful look.

"Thank you, Silver Wolf."

Silver Wolf waved it off. "No problem. I'm gonna play for a bit. Come find me later." She shook the neural device.

Bronya nodded.

Then Mei and the others came over.

"Bronya, why did you have a biochip in your brain?"

Bronya told them about her past — including the Third Eruption and what happened with Seele.

Kiana was furious when she heard it.

"That Cocolia is the worst! I can't take this! I'm gonna go deal with her!"Calestia chimed in, "I'll help."

Theresa interjected, "No rush. Let's head back first. We have a celebration banquet tonight."

At St. Freya Academy:

Everyone descended from the Moonlight Throne.

Theresa summoned a group of Valkyries to begin setting up — moving tables, decorating, etc.

Stelle, Kiana and the others sat and chatted.

Stelle said, "Tomorrow our train is heading back to Luofu for the martial tournament. Kiana, want to come?"

Kiana asked, curious, "Martial tournament? What's that?"

Stelle replied, "A grand combat event hosted in Luofu. Want to join?"

Kiana thought about it and agreed. "Sure! I'll be on the train first thing tomorrow."

She turned to Mei. "Mei, let's go together!"

Mei smiled and nodded. "Okay, we'll attend the martial tournament together tomorrow."

At Schicksal HQ:

Otto sat in the monitoring room, resting his chin on his hand.

"Interesting... very interesting. Where did these people come from? Looks like I need to visit my dear granddaughter."

He called out, "Rita, head over to St. Freya Academy and see what my dear granddaughter has been up to."

Rita accepted the mission. "Yes, Overseer."

She boarded a warship bound for the academy.

In just two hours, the warship hovered above St. Freya.

The people celebrating below looked up.

Theresa blinked. "That's a... Schicksal warship?"

The ship descended, and Rita walked out with a squad of Valkyries.

Theresa stepped forward. "Rita, it's you."

Rita bowed slightly. "Miss Theresa, it's been a while. I've come under the Overseer's orders to evaluate the students' capabilities."

Otto had already prepared her excuse: performance evaluations. Nothing that would raise suspicion.

Theresa said, "Of course. How about the day after tomorrow? I'll organize a mock battle for all the Valkyries at the academy."

Rita smiled. "That works."

Theresa offered, "We're having a celebration now. Care to join us?"

Rita's eyes flashed with calculation — this was the perfect opportunity to gather intel without raising alarms.

"Gladly."

Theresa brought Rita to the main table and introduced her to Ye Yun and the others.

Rita politely greeted everyone. Just as she was about to chat someone up, her eyes landed on the children's table — where Klee, Bailu, Qiqi, Yaoyao, Hook, and Diona were happily eating.

In an instant, Rita forgot all about her mission and walked over to Klee.

"What adorable little ones! Want me to feed you?"

Klee looked up. "Hello, big sis! Klee can eat by herself — no need to trouble big sis~ Jean said good kids should learn to eat by themselves, hehe~"

She flashed a sunny smile, and Rita's heart melted instantly.

Heavens! How could such a cute little girl even exist?!
