Stellar Train: I Open a Small Shop on the Train-Chapter 140

Robin sat on a swing entwined with flower garlands, gently swaying.

From her lips flowed a beautiful melody that enchanted the audience below. The crowd swayed with the rhythm, waving glowsticks in their hands, creating a brilliant sea of color.

Inside the VIP room—

Kiana gazed at Robin on stage with admiration.

"Robin's singing is so beautiful! I wish I could sing like that too."

Mei chuckled softly.

"Kiana, your singing is lovely too. I like it very much."

Jing Yuan also sighed in appreciation.

"For a great Xianzhou like ours, we've never had such an outstanding vocalist as Miss Robin."

Acheron stroked her chin.

"When Miss Robin sings, her voice carries the power of Harmony. It allows the audience to fully immerse themselves in the melody—something beyond what ordinary singers can achieve."

Zhongli added calmly, "In Liyue, we also have a renowned opera performer whose performances I enjoy very much."

"If the stage style today were more suitable for her genre, I would have invited her along."

The concert was progressing smoothly. With Robin's opening of three songs, the atmosphere had already reached a climax.

Holding her mic, Robin waved to the audience.

"Everyone, recently I met a new friend—her musical talent is just as impressive."

"And tonight! I've invited her here to share her voice with you all!"

"Let's welcome... Furina!"

With a sweep of Robin's hand, a rising platform slowly lifted Furina onto the stage.

Furina took a deep breath, then exhaled gently.

She looked out at the crowd and raised both hands high.

"Good evening, everyone!!"

As her words rang out, colorful bubbles materialized beneath her feet, filling the entire venue.

These bubbles shimmered under the lights and floated through the air. Curious audience members reached out to poke them, only for them to burst gently—leaving behind a cool mist.

Furina exchanged a glance with Robin, who then left the stage, leaving it entirely to Furina.

Gripping the microphone, Furina took a moment to steady herself.

The audience looked at her with curiosity—many had never seen her before and were wondering who she was and where she came from.

Furina took a deep breath. A gentle, lingering melody began to echo throughout the grand concert hall.

"Ah~ If I could return to the water once more,Would the world be as beautiful as before?Please forgive our faults, O Mother,As life follows the murmuring stream,Reviving our city with hope once more."

She sang in the language of Teyvat, but thanks to the Synesthetic Beacons, the audience understood the lyrics with ease.

The song she performed was her most famous—Light Ripples.

As the audience listened, they felt as if they had been transported to a fantastical ancient world.

There—

They saw a city built beside the waters, a colossal court of justice, a people governed by strict law, and a pale-haired girl sitting alone on a throne.

Furina's song continued.

"Love~ may this sweet dream be buriedBeneath the flowers of parting.You and I, through joy and sorrow,Bear witness to the wonders of this world!"

As Furina's voice reached the climax, the audience was swept up by the raw emotion and beauty of her performance.

Cheers and shouts of support erupted from the crowd.

In the VIP room—

Neuvillette watched the scene with deep satisfaction.

There she stood, Furina, radiant and resplendent, showcasing her talent to the fullest. In this grand Golden Theatre, she sang a song she had written herself.

Stelle and March 7 were stunned.

"No way! Furina sings that well? I never noticed before!" Stelle was completely confused.

March 7th raised her hands. "Same here! She's amazing!"

Zhongli commented calmly, "Furina is widely known in Teyvat—primarily because her performances are always this exceptional."

Neuvillette added, "Indeed. In the Court of Fontaine, Furina holds weekly fan meetups. The waiting list is booked out for an entire year."

Stelle and March 7th were floored. A year-long wait? That's some star power!

Backstage, behind the curtain—

Focalors watched Furina intently, not blinking once.

Her eyes softened, and a slight smile formed on her lips.

"Furina, you've worked so hard all this time. From now on, please live a happy life as a human—just as I once dreamed. Go and embrace a future that belongs to you."

At that moment, the Furina on stage was exactly the person Focalors had once envisioned.

Meanwhile, Robin sat quietly in the dressing room as a few makeup artists touched up her makeup.

She watched Furina on stage with deep happiness in her heart.

Through the years, Furina had become her closest friend—even though they had only known each other for less than a week.

And yet, Robin already considered Furina a kindred spirit. They always had endless things to talk about.

Sometimes fate worked in mysterious ways.

It could be a single sentence, or just a glance—and two souls would instantly connect, becoming inseparable friends.

Robin whispered softly to herself.

"Go for it, Furina."

On stage, Furina's performance was reaching its end.

As the final line of the song faded, she bent her knees slightly, turned her palms upward, and gave a graceful bow to the audience.

The music stopped.

And the crowd erupted into thunderous applause and deafening cheers.

Furina's performance had completely won them over, giving them a short but unforgettable moment of joy.

"This was so worth coming to! Not only did we hear Robin sing live, but we also got this amazing surprise!"

"No wonder she's friends with Robin. That voice was stunning!"

"Anyone know where to download this song? I want it as my alarm tone."

"Same here!"

"Count me in!"

"+2!"

"+16666!"

Furina straightened up and bowed once more.

"Thank you all for listening, and thank you for your warm applause.

I'm so happy to have stood on this stage tonight.

First, I'd like to thank my dear friend, Robin. Without her, I wouldn't be here today.

And I want to thank everyone who supported me just now—thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Now! Let's welcome the next performers—our six adorable little ones, along with our three famous singers xx, xx, and xx—for their song Let the Wind Tell You!"

Backstage, in the waiting area—

Focalors gently pushed the six children forward.

"Alright, little ones. It's your turn now!"

Excited, the six youngsters ran onto the stage. The three guest singers followed close behind to join them.

***

The six little ones walked onto the stage, hand in hand, standing in the center.

The three supporting singers stood on either side.

The audience below was immediately captivated by their adorable appearances.

"Oh my god! Where did these little cuties come from?!"

"Isn't that Dragon Lady?! Why is she performing on stage? Someone! Change my support sign right now! I'm cheering for Dragon Lady! Dragon Lady is forever the queen!"

"Wow! There's even a little cat girl! Oh my god! They're so cute I could die!"

"What are their names?! Does anyone know?"

"Today is just full of surprises!"

On stage.

At the cue of one of the guest singers, the six little ones began introducing themselves one by one.

Klee jumped forward, smiling brightly as she held a microphone as thick as her arm.

"Hello everyone~ My name is Klee, a Knight of Favonius from Mondstadt. I'll be singing a song for all the big brothers and sisters~"

As soon as Klee finished her introduction, the audience erupted.

"Klee! My precious daughter's name is Klee!"

"Klee Support Group established!!!"

"Support group? No, it's Klee's Mom Club!"

"You're forming a Mom Club? Then we're forming a Dad Club!"

Klee giggled as she hopped back to her spot.

Next was Hook.

Hook held the mic in one hand and put her other hand on her hip.

"Wah~ I am the great dark Hook!"

Her self-introduction also drew loud cheers.

Next up was Qiqi.

Qiqi didn't react until Yaoyao gave her a push, prompting her to speak up.

The audience wasn't annoyed by her slow reaction — instead, they found her dazed demeanor absolutely adorable.

Qiqi held the mic and spoke slowly.

"I'm Qiqi, a zombie. Umm~ what was I supposed to say next? Qiqi forgot."

The audience immediately responded with caring voices.

"Qiqi, sweetie, don't worry. It's okay to forget, just take your time."

"That's right, our little Qiqi is the cutest!"

"What do you mean 'your' Qiqi? She's obviously mine!"

After Qiqi's introduction, Yaoyao stepped forward with graceful little steps.

"Good evening, dear audience. I'm Yaoyao. Pleased to meet you~"

She even gave a small curtsy.

Once again, the audience responded with heartfelt cries.

"Gosh! Yaoyao is so elegant!"

"She makes me feel like such a brute by comparison!"

"Yaoyao is the most polite sweetie ever. Go Yaoyao!"

Then came Diona.

"My name is Diona, not Diao-na! Got it?!"

She gave a tiny but fierce growl at the end.

Rather than being frightened, the audience found her "ferocious cuteness" completely irresistible.

Lastly, it was Bailu.

Bailu stepped forward and raised her little hand.

"I am the Dragon lady from the Xianzhou Luofu! I bet many of you already know me?"

The audience instantly erupted.

"Dragon Lady! Over here! I'm your loyal servant!"

"Dragon Lady! You've got this! Make the Luofu proud!"

Then came the turn of the three guest singers.

These three were brought in by Robin, specifically because "Let the Wind Tell You" included male vocals.

The trio were well-known singers across the galaxy.

After receiving Robin's invitation, they rushed straight to Penacony.

After all, this was Robin's concert — the venue alone had over 500,000 live attendees, not to mention over a trillion watching online.

In the livestream, virtual gifts were flying everywhere.

After the introductions, the music began.

The six little ones swayed in rhythm, hand in hand, just like they practiced.

Klee picked up the mic.

"When your skies suddenly turn gray with rain,That's me blowing up the clouds for you."

After singing, she tossed a tiny Dodoco bomb into a pre-designated spot, creating a small mushroom cloud.

The audience went wild.

"OH!!!! Oh My Aeons! I'm dying! Klee! You're too adorable! Oh my god!"

"How can a smile be so bright?! She's practically the sun!"

Next up was Hook.

"When your hair gently blows in the wind,That's me thinking of you from afar."

As she sang, a gentle breeze swept through the arena, drifting over the crowd.

Next came Bailu's lyrics.

"Are you busy? Or just slacking off?Let me see... wow, that's a big one!Um, can I touch it? Then maybe let Klee blow it up too."

As soon as she finished, the audience exploded.

"Dragon Lady! I'm the biggest fish in Luofu! Come touch me!"

"What?! Let Klee blow me up?! No way! Once isn't enough—make it ten! I can take it!"

"Dragon Lady! Slurp slurp! Come touch me!"

Then it was Yaoyao's turn.

"You look down,Though I don't know why,Let's eat first and think later."

Next came a chorus:

"Troubles go away, troubles go away.Overtime go away, overtime go away.Slimes go away, slimes go away!"

The six little ones waved glowsticks in sync as they sang.

Then it was time for the guest singers.

As expected of Robin's picks, their vocals were impeccable.

Then came the rap part.

To everyone's surprise, Qiqi was in charge of the rap!

In her slow, dreamy voice, she sang:

"Are you busy?Or just slacking off?Let me see... wow, that's a big one.Can I touch it? Then maybe let her blow it up.Umm... can't finish the line."

Qiqi's slow, dazed delivery left her "moms" in the crowd both laughing and crying.

"Qiqi sweetie, could you be any cuter?"

"Don't worry if you can't finish, we'll love you just the same."

The six little ones and the three guest singers continued their joyful performance on stage.

Their innocent voices soothed the restless hearts of the audience.

Backstage.

Barbara watched the show draw to a close, growing increasingly nervous.

Jean gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Barbara, relax. It's going to be fine."

Barbara smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, sister."

The two had reconciled during this period. Now Barbara no longer addressed her by title, but simply as "sister."

Soon, the six little ones stepped offstage to enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

Furina, Focalors, and Robin were waiting.

Robin gathered the six around her.

"Little ones, you all did an amazing job~"

Furina and Focalors also gave their praise.

Klee noticed Jean and Barbara running over.

"Captain Jean! Sister Barbara! Klee was so happy just now!"

Jean affectionately patted Klee's head.

"Klee, you were fantastic!"

Overjoyed by the praise, Klee turned to Barbara.

"Sister Barbara~ you're up next! Klee's cheering for you!"
