So Xing really did spend all the 20,000 yuan that the little girl Liuying had saved up, and everyone really thought that this guy would do such a thing.

When scolded by everyone, Xing touched his face in embarrassment and lowered his head, indicating that he would obediently accept the beating.

While Xing was being reprimanded by everyone's gazes, the light screen revealed another thing that puzzled everyone—

The light screen displayed an introduction to the "oak cake roll" that Firefly had chosen.

[Some impoverished people on remote planets add sawdust to their bread to ensure they have enough to eat. This product contains a large amount of plant-based additives, and its appearance, texture, and taste are similar to oak.]

Only the most ambitious and persevering can successfully swallow it.

Politicians from the oak family often eat it without batting an eye, considering it a sign of courage.

"Adding sawdust to bread...isn't that the worst kind of food only exiled refugees would eat?!"

March 7th exclaimed in surprise and was slapped on the forehead by Himeko's mother. Only after the pain did March 7th realize that she had offended the firefly and quickly covered her mouth.

"But...why did she choose the oak-smoked cake roll?"

Chapter Ninety-Three Oak Cake Roll

March 7th looked at the firefly in the light screen, which looked like a little hamster, eating the oak cake roll bit by bit, full of confusion.

Although it is a "dish with a lot of plant additives" sold in the restaurant, it is clear that the purpose of the oak cake roll is not "delicious".

The description clearly states that it "tastes basically like oak" and is a tool to "prove courage and perseverance".

It's hard to imagine that such a lovely girl like Liuying would eat something that looks like oak.

It's obvious that eating pretty sweets is more in line with her appearance.

Compared to March 7th, Himeko's mother understood much better.

"Did you pick the worst-tasting one out of so many delicious dishes...? Maybe it's to repay your kindness and keep her promise to take you to eat something delicious."

"That's why she specifically picked out the only one that tasted bad, right?"

Himeko's mother analyzed the firefly's motives, her gaze fixed on the star with a meaningful look, and spoke earnestly.

"It's so that you can enjoy all the other delicious food and avoid being spoiled by the worst oak cake roll."

"What a gentle girl."

Himeko's mother's analysis sounded reasonable, and March 7, Danheng, Walter Yang, and even the train conductor all nodded in agreement, then they all stared at the stars again.

Although no one said anything, their eyes seemed to be questioning Xing:

"Look what you've done! That little girl was so good to you, and you squandered all her money!"

Under the barrage of criticism, Xing covered her face, feeling utterly ashamed to face anyone...

Firefly was so kind to her, treating her to food and even picking out the only unpalatable dish so she could enjoy the meal properly...

But she spent all the money that other people had saved up...

Waaaaah, she's such a jerk!

However, to everyone's surprise, the fireflies' true intentions went beyond that.

Xing never expected that the scene that appeared on the light screen next would make her feel even more ashamed and guilty, to the point that she wanted to jump up in the middle of the night and slap herself twice.

The screen of light then displays the scenes of what Xing and Liuying spent together—

[The last date, the last photo]

………………

………………

The scene then cuts to the moment when Firefly treats Star to a meal. After the meal that cost Firefly a fortune, the girl takes Star to the amusement park to have some fun.

In that dream kingdom constructed by a dream architect, composed of twelve dream layers.

A dream metropolis of unparalleled prosperity, dazzling lights, and boundless revelry.

Pinocognizine

Once merely a prison for exiled prisoners by the Interstellar Peace Corporation, Pinocchio has now earned the titles of "Star of the Events" and "Land of Dreams," making it a renowned resort destination, a perfect paradise for hedonists, and a new continent in the eyes of those seeking inspiration, opportunities, and wealth.

The land of dreams is always filled with joyful songs, awaiting wave after wave of guests to immerse themselves in the ocean of dreams...

In this dream, Firefly plays with the star she is luckiest to meet in her life.

Together they watched the performance of Pinocchio's famous cartoon character: Watch Boy.

Xing complained about the dangerous image, while Liu Ying laughed it off and explained.

They explored all the nearby amusement park rides together, planning to spend all the tokens they had.

Despite shouting "Let's have fun!", she could only win the lowest prize in every lottery, which made Xing furious and even shocked herself to the point of jumping up.

The firefly following Xing watched her every move, chuckling softly at her comical antics and offering words of comfort when she was downcast.

Laugh with the stars, and be disappointed with the stars.

Then, together with Xing, they were drawn into the incident again and met a group of "familiar faces"...

"They're all acquaintances... what does that mean?"

"Xing, are you... familiar with them all?"

As Liu Ying muttered these words, her face puffed out slightly as she faced Xing, revealing her slightly jealous feelings.

………………

"She's jealous of me, hehe, she has feelings for me~"

Seeing this, the star outside the light screen subconsciously let out a dark laugh.

"That's enough, don't get too cocky."

On March 7th, seeing Xing's smug look, he got angry and rushed over to hit him with a stick.

Why is it that this scoundrel gets to go on a date with such a cute girl like Liu Ying in the amusement park's dream world?

March 7th stared wide-eyed at the star. That [Pinocchio] was a famous amusement park in the universe, a place March 7th longed to visit but never had the chance!

Seeing Xing having so much fun with a cute girl at that resort, March 7th was practically grinding his teeth to dust!

As for Himeko's mother and Walter Yang, they couldn't help but smile when they saw Hoshi, their junior, having so much fun.

This is the journey of the stars, and it is quite interesting that they can witness this scene.

but……

Himeko hadn't forgotten what the title meant.

[The last date and the last photo]?

Admittedly, the scene of Xing and Liuying playing together in the amusement park can be seen as a date, and taking a photo together afterward is normal...

However, the word "finally" carries a profound meaning.

Remembering the tear-jerking scenes that had appeared on the screen before, Himeko had a bad feeling.

She sensed that... Xing and Liuying, who seemed to be getting along well in the picture, were probably about to encounter some irreparable mishap.

However, since it has not yet been revealed and they cannot change the future shown in the light screen, Himeko simply did not tell Hoshi about this speculation.

……

On the other side, Walter Young stroked his chin, also having a bad feeling about the story of the stars and fireflies.

However, when he saw the "familiar person" that Xing mentioned appear in the picture, his eyes widened slightly.

Although he had met this traveler who called himself the "Sea Patrol Knight" before, Walter Young was still somewhat dazed when he saw the Yellow Springs and the Stars intersect in the scene.

It was as if I were seeing the stories of an old friend.

Yomi, who looked almost exactly like Raiden Mei, left Walter Yang in a daze.

Having come from that broken world, Welt Yang knew quite a bit about Raiden Mei.

Adding to the previously revealed tragic past of Raiden Mei and Kiana's redemption...

Raiden Mei's journey from becoming a Herrscher, to mastering the Herrscher, and finally joining forces with Kiana and Bronya to fight against the Honkai, culminating in a near-victory...

Walter Yang saw all of this and occasionally came into contact with Raiden Mei for various reasons afterward.

Although it has been a long time since I last saw Raiden Mei after leaving that world and coming to this much larger universe.

Seeing that old friend again... even though it was just a clone, Walter Yang still felt quite complicated.

I wonder how Raiden Mei from that broken universe would react if she met a "herself" imagined in this way?

………………

………………

Everyone at St. Freya Academy widened their eyes the moment Xing and Liuying were caught up in a new incident and said, "They're all acquaintances!"

Kiana stared at the aloof and mature ranger with long purple hair on the screen, and looked at Mei beside her with surprise and suspicion!

"Hey? Mei, look, isn't that you??"

Kiana blinked and repeatedly compared Mei with the Yomi that appeared in the light screen!

If she and March Seven only have a slight resemblance, then Mei and that Yomi are just like two identical Himekos who appeared before!

"Is...this...me...?"

Let alone Kiana, even Mei, the actual character, was a little confused for a moment.

Although the "Mei" looked very familiar to her—her hair color, appearance, and weapon were extremely similar—there were still differences in her overall demeanor...

The "Mei" in the picture is more aloof and taciturn.

Although she became cold and aloof after taking control of the Herrscher's power, parting ways with Kiana, and joining World Serpent, that's a thing of the future. Mei is still a gentle, Japanese-style girl, at least for now.

Seeing yet another person on the screen who looked remarkably similar to someone nearby, but was actually a different person, others began to wonder—

Since there are people who are extremely similar to Himeko and Mei, are there other people who are also similar to them?

Kiana, Bronya, Fu Hua, and Theresa all winked at the light screen, sensing that someone similar to them would appear later.
