Collapse Iron: I am the Pleasure Commander, starting with the Demolition Company

Star Train

Observation carriage.

Seeing Xi Yao, Dan Heng, San Yue Qi, Xing, and Sunday walking over in a neat row, Ji Zi gave them a gentle smile.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."

"Just now, the Starry Sky Train received an invitation from the 'Star of the Grand Gathering'."

"etc!"

"Why does this scene feel so familiar?"

Recalling what happened in Pinocchio last time, March 7th couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Are we still dreaming?"

A bad feeling welled up inside Xing, her scalp began to tingle, and her voice even started to tremble.

If this conjecture is true, that would be terrifying!

Doesn't that mean everything that happened before was fake?

They never truly escaped the dream of Taiyi!

hiss~

Staying in a dream or something...

Tonic!

Upon hearing her words, March 7th was so frightened that she burst into tears.

"No!"

"Could you please stop saying such frightening things!"

"I don't want to be trapped in this dream forever!"

Sunday:……

I feel like you're mocking my dead body, but I have no proof.

He was easily defeated by Xi Yao, and his dream of Taiyi was easily shattered.

They even started to doubt that they were dreaming...

It's like you painstakingly came up with a problem you thought was really difficult, only to have a passing genius glance at it and immediately figure out the answer. Not only that, he even muttered to himself with a serious expression:

Is it really that simple?

"Is there anything I might have missed?"

Your first reaction is probably: Damn, this guy is a real Versailles! I really want to punch him!

Although after spending time together, he knew that Xing and March 7th didn't seem like the type to openly mock him.

But listening to these words, I always felt a strange feeling.

Dan Heng was somewhat helpless regarding Xing and March 7's bizarre and outlandish ideas.

He pointed to Sunday, which was not far away, and said:

"Mr. Sunday is already our companion, how could he still be dreaming?"

Ok,

It seems there are more smart people on the train crew.

Just as Sunday was about to express his agreement, Xi Yao spoke first:

"That's not necessarily true!"

Sunday:?

Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?

Ignoring the bewildered Sunday, Xi Yao began her analysis with great seriousness:

"Don't you find this strange?"

"We were the ones who ruined his plan! Instead of retaliating, he even joined the train crew. That doesn't make sense!"

"So is it possible... this is still a dream?"

Dan Heng fell silent.

You know what, that actually makes a lot of sense!

Joining the train crew on Sunday seemed to have gone a little too smoothly.

Is this still a dream?

Such a reasonable analysis even made Himeko and Welt somewhat waver.

March 7th and Xing even covered their heads with their hands, looking terrified.

"Oh my god!"

"I don't want to dream anymore!"

Sunday:???

What are you doing, Da Sha Chun?

You were the one who invited me to join the train crew!

How could they suddenly turn their backs on us like this?!

Seeing the mischievous smile on Xi Yao's lips, Sunday suddenly realized what was going on.

She's playing a prank again.

……

My silence was deafening.

Just when Sunday thought this was Xi Yao's limit,

Xi Yao said that this is just the beginning.

She stood with one foot on the stool, pointed at Sunday, and struck an extremely childish pose, saying with an air of righteous indignation:

"so……"

"To shatter Taiyi's dream!"

"To save Pinocchio!"

"Everyone, charge with me!"

"Hit him!"

Sunday:???!!!

That's too much!

That's not how you play!

You're the one who called me here!

It turns out you're the one who's going to hit me!

What, are you trying to lure me into a trap?

Himeko, who was initially confused, was quickly brought to her senses by Welt and Danheng's hearing that Sunday was going to be attacked, coupled with Xiyao's exaggerated acting skills.

For a moment, they couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.

Xi Yao is playing pranks again.

But Xing didn't care about any of that.

As a star core spirit that has just turned two and a half years old and is beginning to take on a human form and possesses some human-like qualities,

Upon hearing her younger sister say she wanted to play on Sunday, she didn't even think twice before grabbing her baseball bat and charging forward.

Walter reached out and pulled her back, then adjusted his glasses and explained:

"Ah Xing, don't be impulsive."

"Xi Yao is joking."

"Mr. Sunday is already one of our companions. As an anonymous guest, we cannot lay a hand on our companions."

joke?

Xing turned around blankly and looked at Xi Yao, casting an inquiring glance at her.

Xi Yao chuckled and nodded.

"OK!"

"You bastard!"

"How dare you lie to me!"

"Take this!"

Xing angrily charged towards Xi Yao, raising the baseball bat high as if to strike her.

"Oh dear~"

"Don't hit me, I'm so scared!"

Xi Yao pretended to be scared and started running away from the crowd.

Himeko shook her head helplessly as she watched Hoshino and Yuuko chasing and playing like children.

"Alright, stop fooling around, let's get down to business."

Xi Yao and Xing finally stopped, but their hands were still fidgeting.

Ignoring them further, Himeko explained the details of the invitation.

"Pinocone's Origami University invited us to attend an academic seminar on 'pioneering' as guests."

"An academic seminar?"

"Is it the kind of thing where you sit in a large lecture hall, looking at hundreds of slides and discussing several systems?"

"That's so boring."

I lost interest in March 7th instantly.

Wouldn't it be better to use that time to play games or catch up on sleep on the train?

Xi Yao, however, was quite moved.

She was a very honest student back then.

He didn't skip a single class.

I always arrive at the classroom on time, never late or leaving early.

Although I didn't really pay attention in class, I was mostly just playing on my phone.

But by launching early attacks, they consistently achieved decent results.

At the time, she thought she would reach the pinnacle of her life after graduation.

Until she discovered she had applied for civil engineering...

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, it's bad luck.

But speaking of university, I really do have some fond memories of it.

Those wonderful times spent with roommates, classmates, friends, teachers, and even strangers.

It was indeed an incredibly precious memory.

As for the seminar…

Dah!

She didn't want to listen to a bunch of old men chatting about topics that were boring to even think about, especially the kind of conversations about systems.

I've heard it enough in my past life.

However, there's obviously no need to worry about that.

Himeko and Walter also knew that young people weren't interested in these things.

"Don't worry, Walter and I will just attend the seminar."

"As for you, you can enter Origami University as auditors to experience campus life."

Do you want to study?

On March 7th, he put his hands on his hips and laughed very happily.

"That's fantastic!"

"A vibrant and beautiful young girl living life to the fullest on campus—this kind of scenario is perfect for me!"

Even Dan Heng, who is usually not very talkative, was somewhat interested in this.

"I've heard that Origami University is a world-renowned top university, and I'd like to see it for myself."

Only Xing was dejected and looked distressed, as if she was experiencing PTSD caused by some mysterious memory.

"Help!"

"I don't want to go to school, I don't want to do my homework!"

"Waaaaah~"

Seeing this, Walter comforted him:

"Don't worry, you're not really students after all, so you won't have too much homework."

Upon hearing this, Xing immediately jumped up on the spot.

"Really?"

"School life without homework is so awesome!"

"Yeah yeah!"

March 7th also chimed in excitedly from the side.

Going back to relive campus life seems like a good idea.

Xi Yao stroked her chin, deep in thought.

As for those annoying guys...

You can just throw it away when the time comes.

"Then I'll go join you guys~"

Everyone seemed happy, except for Sunday, who silently shook his head.

"Everyone knows my situation."

"I won't go this time."

"The atmosphere at Origami University is pretty good. Hope you all have fun!"

After saying that, Sunday left alone.

Everyone understood that it was indeed inappropriate for them to be at Pinocchio on Sunday.

So I didn't say much more.

Xing, on March 7th, pulled Xi Yao along and chattered excitedly about what they would do after entering Origami University.

Seeing this, Himeko knew they were getting impatient, so she stopped waiting.

"Okay!"

"Looks like you guys can't wait any longer."

"Then let's get ready to go!"

"Okay, okay!"

Xing, pulling March 7th along, shouted in unison:

"Origami University, here we come!"

Just then, a voice came from behind them.

"etc!"

Everyone: "???"

...
