Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2130 Useless Feelings?
After Paet O's defeat, when the Argonot once again embarked on the Star Path, the Silver and Bronze races no longer blocked its way.

Some were the other Silver Clan members following far behind the Argonot.

After Deannaila and He Ming took turns observing, they finally confirmed that the group seemed to be just audience members who were curious about the singing and had been following them.

At first, when Deanella didn't understand the reason, she was very worried.

However, after the Silver Clan members clearly showed signs of a sharp mental fluctuation when Lin Minmei performed on stage, Deannara sought out He Ming with these questions and received the answers from him.

"Hmm? I'm afraid it's just because of Akemi's singing. But it's alright. It's a common occurrence."

He Ming smiled and explained to Deanella, helping her understand the key point.

"Using song to drive emotions? To let the seeds of emotion sprout again within the Silver Clan, whose emotions have been lost—no, sealed away?"

Deanna looked at He Ming with some surprise.

She seemed to discover that He Ming could occasionally reveal secrets unknown to humans, especially those concerning the Silver Clan, and he always hit the nail on the head.

Occasionally, Deanella discovers that He Ming is like a prophet, providing guidance to those around him.

Besides Edge, only He Ming could make her feel this way.

Could it be that Lord He is an incarnation of the Golden Clan?

Just as He Ming had predicted, Lynn Minmay and Sheryl took turns holding concerts every now and then, which led to an increasing number of Silver Clan members following the Argonot. This even caused the Silver Clan members, who had never paid much attention to their home planet, to frequently return from all over the universe and appear in front of Prome O.

“Prome Oh. I’m here to express my feelings.”

“Prome O., I wish you could take away my emotions right now!”

“Prome O…”

“Pro…”

Sitting in the chair, looking at the growing number of her people below, Prome Ou suddenly felt a pang of emotion—it had been a long time since the Silver Clan had heeded the call of the Gold Clan that so many of her people had stood below.

"When did the people of my tribe become so enthusiastic about developing feelings for me?"

Prome closed her eyes and silently used her power to take away the emotions of one of her people. Just as she was about to let another person step forward, she asked a question as if possessed.

Where do you want to go next?

The other person paused for a moment, then spoke calmly.

"I'm going to track down that ship of the Black Iron Clan. The ominous signs on it warrant attention."

After the Silver Clan member finished speaking, he leaped away on the spot, leaving no chance for Prome to ask further questions.

However, if one traces the shared mental network of the Silver Clan, Prome O will find that this clansman is not as calm as he appears on the surface, but rather somewhat flustered after his thoughts are discovered.

Prome O did not make a fuss, but kept the situation in mind and devoted herself to the work of taking away the feelings of the next tribesman.

However, as the emotions of her people continued to accumulate within Prome-O, the unprecedented emotional fluctuations became almost unbearable for her.

She glanced at the dozen or so remaining members of her tribe, secretly resolved to seize their affections in one fell swoop before sending a message to her fellow tribesmen that she needed to rest for a few days.

Then, she lowered her head with difficulty, looking at her trembling hands, even losing control of her emotions due to the trembling that erupted within her. "This... what is this..."

In the darkness, a song seemed to cross the void and quietly echoed in her ears.

"singing···"

The sandstorm sweeping across the Silver Clan's homeworld buried Prome O's sighs, and also buried certain seeds that were sprouting in the hearts of the Silver Clan at this very moment.

After successfully completing all the planned concerts, Sherry stretched happily and let out a long sigh.

"Miss Sherry. There will be a hot spring session later, please look forward to it."

While delivering drinks to Sheryl and Lynn Minmay to relieve their fatigue, Belfast also announced the upcoming arrangements.

"spa?!"

Sherry was taken aback.

"Is there a hot spring on this ship?"

"Yes, that's right. This is a hot spring specially provided for Princess Diannera to relieve fatigue. Her Highness Princess Diannera thanked Akemi and Miss Sherry for their hard work and dedication recently, and specially ordered that access be granted to the two of them."

As Belfast spoke about the arrangements for the hot springs, Sherry's eyes gradually lit up with longing.

“Senior Akemi. I’ve never experienced soaking in a hot spring on a spaceship before! Not even in the fleet.”

Fleets in the world of MACROSS have all sorts of technical inclinations, but it seems like they haven't really explored the hot springs area yet.

If the residents of the fleet want to enjoy hot springs, they would probably have to travel to an ecological planet to have the opportunity to enjoy such treatment.

"It seems so! Well then, Belfast, I'll trouble you to make the arrangements."

"Leave it all to me!!"

Belfast gracefully turned and left to make arrangements.

Sherry casually placed the drink on the table and looked at Lin Mingmei, asking her a question.

“Senior Mingmei, you must have noticed it lately, right? It seems like the Silver Clan has changed several times over.”

"Yes. I definitely feel that way. Especially when Xiaoya performs on stage with us, that feeling is even more pronounced."

Lin Mingmei thought about it carefully and then revealed He Ming's speculation.

He Ming speculated that the reason why the Silver Clan following the Argonot changed several times was probably because they sensed the emergence of emotions within them, returned to their home planet to extract these emotions, and then came back to follow the Argonot to listen to us sing.

Sheryl was very puzzled by Lin Mingmei's explanation.

"Why is it so complicated? Aren't emotions a natural thing for humans? It is because of the existence of emotions that humans cry, laugh, and want to share all the beauty they feel in this moment with others."

"Sometimes, unable to bear the surging emotions in their hearts, they will sing with all their might to let those surging emotions completely erupt, leading everyone to laugh and cry together with these emotions."

"Yes, that's true for humans. But He Ming said that the Silver Clan doesn't care about emotions. They only see emotions as a burden and an obstacle to their exploration of the universe. Therefore, when they realize that emotions are arising in their bodies, the first thing they do is to remove them."
