Starry Sky Railway: Start with some fireworks and have some fun

"Don't you have detection robots? Take pictures of me and do facial and voice recognition. My information is already recorded in Edo Star's system database. How about that?"

After Hanabi finished speaking, the leading officer frowned, then dispatched a small detection robot. When the inspection revealed that it was indeed Hanabi herself, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Open the city gates and let them in."

When Qinglan and Hanabi entered, the officer led some soldiers directly towards them. The soldiers behind him stared wide-eyed when they saw Hanabi.

Because Hanabi and Aoran were previously under the city wall, many soldiers couldn't see their faces clearly. But now Hanabi was standing right in front of them, which made the soldiers guarding the city rub their eyes in uncertainty.

"Hana, Hanabi-san, is it really you?"

"Of course it's me, the famous superstar of the entire Edo planet, Lady Hanabi is back. It's such a hassle to go into the city these days, things were better before."

Hearing Hanabi's words, the leading officer sighed, "Miss Hanabi, my name is Ze Ming. We are truly happy to see you still alive. After all, we didn't expect that there would be survivors outside of Edo Castle. So we were being cautious. May I ask who this gentleman is...?"

As he spoke, Zemin looked at Qinglan. They only thought that she was a survivor like Huahuo, so they didn't pay much attention to her.

However, Hanabi laughed and said, "Ah! His name is Qinglan, he's mine..."

"Bodyguard, cough cough, I am Miss Hanabi's bodyguard, my name is Qinglan."

Hanabi looked at Aoran with some surprise, but Aoran gently shook her head.

Although Hanabi didn't know why Aoran was hiding their relationship, he must have had his reasons for doing so!

"So it was you who protected Miss Hanabi all the way back to Edo Castle. You must have worked so hard."

"Then, Mr. Zemin, may we enter the city now?"

"Of course, but before moving into the city, please log in with your personal information, skills and occupations. We will issue you a unique ID card shortly. Please understand that this is a special time."

Hanabi was somewhat helpless, but continued to follow them through many tedious procedures. By the time they finally entered the city, it was already dark.

However, when Hanabi saw that her identity card was white while Aoran's was blue, her heart was filled with questions.

"Honey, why are our ID tags different colors? Is there any significance to that?"

Qinglan had some guesses in her mind, then sighed, "Let's not talk about these things for now. Little Firework, do you remember where your old home was?"

"Of course I remember, but that house hasn't been lived in for three years, so be prepared when you go in!"

Chapter 170 The Children of the Hanabi Family

Edo Castle is very large, after all, it is the largest city on Edo Star. Even though the two of them were moving very fast, it still took them quite a while.

However, the city lacked Qinglan's understanding of metropolises; the entire city was lifeless, with only homeless vagrants on the streets and degenerate hooligans in the alleys.

Everyone here knows very well that once the walls break, no one will survive; they will all become lambs to the slaughter for the antimatter legion.

When Hanabi led Qinglan to a simple apartment building, Qinglan looked at it in disbelief.

"Little Firework, your living environment... is rather ordinary!"

"Really? I feel fine. After all, Hanabi-sama was a big star back then, so she was easily recognized wherever she went. That's why I chose a quiet place to stay, since I need to rest too!"

Although the apartment building was quite ordinary, the facade was very clean, as if someone cleaned it regularly. When Hanabi noticed that there wasn't even a layer of dust on the doorknob, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Honey, wait a minute, there's someone inside."

"what?"

“I haven’t been back for three years, but the doorknob is spotless.”

After saying that, the two looked at each other, and Hanabi opened the door directly. Qinglan strode in, only to see a scene that surprised them.

Several ragged children were huddled on the bed. Their clothes were very clean, but the strong smell of medicine emanating from them caught Qinglan and Huahuo's attention.

They are all children with disabilities; some have lost a leg, some have lost an eye, and some have lost an arm...

These injuries were clearly fresh. Although the wounds had been professionally treated and were not life-threatening, it was still hard for anyone to remain indifferent to seeing children who were only about seven or eight years old go through something like this.

"Who are you? Why are you barging in? We have nothing left in our house."

The slightly older little girl stepped forward and shielded her four younger siblings behind her.

She lost her left eye, but even though she now only has one eye, Hanabi saw determination in her eyes.

Hanabi paused for a moment, then said, "This is my home. I should be asking you how you got into my house. There are no signs of forced entry outside. You didn't just break in, did you?"

Upon hearing this, the one-eyed little girl said softly, "We were taken in by Sister Anya, and Sister Anya also arranged for us to stay here. We didn't know anything about it."

Hearing this, Hanabi's doubts vanished. "Oh! It was her! That makes sense."

"Little Fireworks, who's that?"

“That’s my manager. If it’s her, then it’s understandable that she has a key to my room. Little sister, since Anya arranged for you to stay here, where is she?”

The little girl said timidly, "Anya went to find us something to eat, she should be back soon. Sister, are you Hanabi?"

Hanabi smiled and said, "Of course, you're staying in my house now!"

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately stepped forward. "Hana, Hanabi-neechan, please don't send us away. We actually eat very little, and we can sleep on the ground. I can also work, so I won't be a burden to you, I..."

Just as the little girl was trying to figure out what use she could be, Hanabi gently hugged her.

"You... just stay here and rest assured. Eat normally, sleep normally. Your bodies are already in this state, so just lie down and rest."

Hanabi gently held the little girl in front of her. It was the first time Qinglan had seen Hanabi so gentle. Perhaps most people in the universe would do the same when it comes to children!

"Sister, thank you, thank you..."

The little girl hugged the fireworks tightly, trying not to let her tears fall, while Qinglan, looking at the pitiful child, took out a few photos.

With a gentle tear, the photos transformed into many fresh fruits and sweet cakes, and then he smiled softly.

"Kids, I have some delicious fruit and cake here, come and have some with us!"

After the antimatter legion invaded, these children lived a life of hardship, sleeping outdoors and eating only hard, dry bread. They had never seen so much delicious food before.

In an instant, their longing gazes overcame their fear, and even the little girl in Hanabi's arms had a glimmer of light in her eyes.

Hanabi gently nudged her, "Take your younger siblings and go eat together!"

"Um, thank you, sister, I..."

"You're welcome, it's nothing. By the way, what's your name?"

The little girl immediately smiled happily, "Sister, my name is Ruby."

Hanabi nodded. "Ruby? I'll remember that."

Watching the children wolf down their food, Qinglan felt a sense of pleasure and couldn't help but smile.

It seems that a child's smile can really change a person's mood at any time!

"However, after Ruby ate half an apple, she immediately organized the other four children to stand in front of Qinglan and Hanabi."

They cleared their throats and shouted in unison.

"Thank you, Sister Hanabi, thank you, Uncle, thank you for the food you gave us, thank you so much."

However, Qinglan, who was admiring the child's smiling face, suddenly froze, while Hanabi laughed so hard she almost fell over.

"Hahaha, thank you so much! Uncle Qinglan... Hahaha..."

Seeing Hanabi's laughter, Qinglan smiled helplessly. Since Hanabi returned to Edo, she had rarely shown such a relaxed expression. It seemed that she needed to find out about the current situation in Edo as soon as possible.

However, at that moment, the door suddenly opened, and a woman who looked slightly tired slowly walked in. When she saw the fireworks, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Flower, Fireworks, is it really you?"

"It's Lady Hanabi! Anya, you're finally back. I'm so glad to have met someone I know."

Seeing the fireworks appear alive in front of her, Anya was overjoyed. However, when she noticed Qinglan in the room, she immediately became wary.

Especially when she saw the blue identity tag hanging on Qinglan's chest, her face turned ashen.

"You, who are you?"

“Oh! Anya, she was brought back by Lady Hanabi, you…”

However, before Hanabi could finish speaking, Anya immediately stood in front of Hanabi, then spread her arms, her expression showing more fear, and even a hint of pleading.

"Hanabi is still a child, please, please don't lay a hand on her. If you have a problem, come at me! Although I'm not as pretty as Hanabi, her figure isn't as good as mine, she can't satisfy you. I know some techniques, in short, I can satisfy whatever you ask for, please let Hanabi go, please, she doesn't deserve to go through this."

Qinglan:………

What are these sisters saying? Something sounds a bit strange.

Hanabi:…………

She was suddenly offended, and why did such bizarre things always happen to her when her former manager tried to steal her boyfriend right in front of her?

Chapter 171 The Young Wife and the Young Husband

Anya stared intently at Qinglan, fearing he might unleash his beastly nature and attack Huahuo. Qinglan looked at his sister and felt a sense of desolation, like a hero going forth never to return.

Hanabi's face darkened, and she gently patted Anya's shoulder.

"Anya, actually you..."

However, before Hanabi could finish speaking, Anya immediately turned around and hugged Hanabi tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"It's alright, Hanabi, it's alright. I'm here, you'll be fine. I'll protect you, I won't let you get hurt."
