Noticing what welt was holding, March 7th glanced at it curiously.
Hmm~ Who is this person? They look kind of familiar...
"Without a doubt, it's our arrest warrant, isn't it?"
"But don't worry, this thing is definitely an abstract painting, and it's hard for anyone other than someone you know to tell the difference."
"Otherwise, why do you think I would appear here so openly?"
Xun Yu leaned over, picked up the so-called wanted poster, and shook his head.
"...You mean this painting is of us?"
On March 7th, pointing to her own wanted poster, her fist hardened again.
"Hmm~"
"Ahem, Xun Yu, I wonder where the Stellaron is now?"
Welt coughed a few times and asked the question he was concerned about.
Not long ago, he landed not far from belobeg, where he happened to rescue a team of Silvermane Guards in danger, and then came to this city.
When welt saw the wanted posters, he almost didn't recognize them, but after thinking about what Xun Yu had done, welt felt relieved.
He began searching for traces of March 7th and his group.
Fortunately, he found the group soon enough.
"Stellaron, I've lost it in Everwinter Hill."
"It's not that they weren't very involved on March 7th, so I kept the boss battle open."
"After all, exploration without boss battles is incomplete~"
Upon hearing this, the people present fell silent.
"So you mean you clearly had the ability to solve the Stellaron problem, but you abandoned it in the name of 'complete expansion'?"
"Ice Dog~"
"But what if the Stellaron escapes?"
"In your words, this stellaron has come to life..."
"Don't be afraid, it can't escape."
"Speaking of which, Jarilo's creation engine is also in Everwinter Hill..."
Welt's eyes lit up when he heard about the Creation Engine.
"Ahem! In March, I believe that trailblazing with setbacks is more valuable and meaningful."
"Let's go to everwinter hill!"
Xun Yu: The stellaron was lost in everwinter hill, where there are Gundams.
Welt: I have no objection.
March 7th: ? ? ?
"So why don't we just go straight to that... Everwinter Hill?"
"I have my reasons for doing this... March, you stepped on my foot!"
"...Why don't we go down in batches?"
Squeezed into the narrow passage leading to the lower area, the previously noisy chatter suddenly fell silent after stelle finished speaking.
"That makes sense. You can go down first, I'll stay here and watch over him."
Xun Yu withdrew his foot from under March 7th and left the passage.
After watching the group leave, Xun Yu turned his gaze to the smirking Sampo.
"Brother, my dear brother, I've done as you said."
"Look at this mechanical dog..."
Sampo instinctively rubbed his buttocks; he had been frequently attacked by this mechanical dog wearing an Aha mask lately.
As a result, he was arrested by the silvermane Guards several times, but fortunately, he had some tricks up his sleeve and managed to escape.
"I can't do it. That was thrown by the Aeon of Elation, probably meant for you. There's nothing I can do about it."
Xun Yu shrugged, indicating that he had no way to help.
Sampo stared at the mechanical dog in his hand with beady eyes.
"Huh? Huh?"
Sampo strongly suspected that his colleague was trying to frame him, but he had no proof.
"As for having you take us to the lower levels... wasn't that already part of your 'script' anyway?"
"In other words, you should thank me!"
"I'm leaving, don't bother seeing me out."
As he spoke, Xun Yu reached out and pulled Bronya, who had fallen unconscious, onto his shoulder.
It wasn't until quite some time after Xun Yu left that Sampo came to his senses.
"By the Aeon of Elation, something just doesn't feel right..."
Having vaguely sensed something, Sampo looked at the passage leading to the lower area and followed.
He was originally thinking about how to take this Silvermane Guard commander down with him, but Xun Yu gave him a surprise.
He had been secretly following them and was stunned for a long time when he saw Xun Yu and Cocolia openly sharing their stellaron.
Originally, his plan was for Cocolia, who had been bewitched by the Stellaron, to attack the train crew. After some commotion, he would then take matters into his own hands and pack up the people on the Astral Express and Bronya together to send them to the lower level.
Once Bronya has a clear understanding of the situation in the Lower District, she will be better able to manage Belobeg after becoming the Great Guardian, and Cocolia can then be completely removed from the game.
This world is already heading towards destruction, and the arrival of the Astral Express is a turning point...
But to his utter surprise, a fellow traveler boarded the Astral Express.
Fortunately, everything was going according to his plan.
"Aha, here I come~"
"Aww~!"
Sampo jumped up, and another wound appeared on his buttock.
...
"This is the lower district...it's completely different from the upper district."
"It's definitely different now. People down there are struggling to even live a decent life."
"Xun Yu, what are you carrying on your shoulders..."
Upon seeing Bronya being carried on Xun Yu's shoulder, the lips of the others twitched.
"Huh? What kind of looks are those?"
Following the gaze, Xun Yu glanced at Bronya, whom he was carrying in an extremely ungraceful posture, and suddenly realized what was going on.
He silently approached March 7th and put Bronya down.
"In March, help Bronya up."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
"Where is Xun...?!"
March 7th had just hurriedly helped Bronya steady when she realized that Xun Yu was gone.
"Ugh! I'm so angry! They just disappeared again without a word."
"happy."
Stelle stroked her chin and uttered a single word, but her gaze involuntarily drifted to the trash can not far away...
"Hmm~"
Bronya opened her eyes and instinctively covered the back of her head.
Not long ago, she learned that her mother, the Great Guardian Cocolia, had been attacked and was missing.
While investigating the attacker, he was struck hard on the back of the head and immediately lost consciousness.
Is this...the lower district?
Bronya was puzzled by the surroundings.
Just then, she heard a girl's surprised voice.
"Oh! You're awake."
"Who are you...?"
Upon seeing the appearance of March 7th and the others, Bronya immediately perked up.
Although Gepard's paintings are somewhat abstract, the attire of the people in front of us is undoubtedly accurate.
She instinctively reached for her gun, but found nothing.
This made Bronya's heart sink.
Am I being captured?
Welt looked Bronya over with a strange look in his eyes, but quickly recovered.
Although the name and appearance are very similar, it is clearly a different person from the one I remember.
At first glance, I almost thought I had come home...
Thankfully, it turned out to be just me scaring myself.
Seeing Bronya's constantly changing expression, and her initial wary look, Welt felt it necessary to explain.
