The train's dining car.

The Milky Way shines brightly outside the porthole.

It should have been a peaceful and idyllic scene.

in case……

Ignore the girl sitting at the table, who was chugging down a large black oil drum.

"Gulp, gulp..."

"ha--"

Xing put down the oil drum and let out a satisfied sigh.

next to.

Himeko sat there, holding an exquisite black teacup in her hand, but her brows were slightly furrowed.

"Although it's for survival..."

"But the quality of life... is just too bad."

"We drink this kind of dark industrial waste every day, without even any side dishes."

Himeko put down her teacup.

She stood up, straightened her skirt, and a determined glint flashed in her eyes.

As the navigator of the Star Train, as an adult with aspirations.

She absolutely cannot stand idly by!

"Xing is a girl too."

"Everyone has the right to enjoy delicious food!"

"Since we can't eat regular food..."

Himeko rolled up her sleeves, gently took the oil drum from Hoshi's arms, and said with a smile:

"star."

"We won't drink these today."

"Your sister is planning to cook you a nice meal herself."

……

……

Ten minutes later.

Xing sat upright, a napkin around her neck, with a knife and fork in front of her.

An extremely complex smell was wafting from the kitchen.

"The first dish."

Himeko's voice was full of confidence.

The plate was placed in front of Xing.

"【Black Gold Gravel Paste】".

Xing fumbled for the spoon and scooped out a spoonful.

heavy.

It feels a bit like wet cement.

I brought it close to my nose and smelled it.

Hmm... it smells rusty, and a bit burnt.

Xing did not hesitate.

Open your mouth and swallow it in one gulp.

"Click, click..."

It's a bit dry.

It's like chewing iron filings with lubricant.

When I swallowed it, my throat felt a little rough.

but……

The calories are acceptable.

It's much more chewy than just drinking oil.

"Tsk. (Not bad.)"

Xing picked up a wooden board and wrote a number on it in a crooked, illegible way:

[7 points]

A thoughtful annotation was added next to it:

It's filling. A bit dry. I suggest adding more oil.

"7 points?"

Himeko looked at the evaluation and nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems the texture needs to be further enhanced."

"It's alright, the main course is next."

soon.

The second dish was served.

"[Spiral Copper Wire Surface]"

This time the taste is even stranger.

It carried a metallic smell, like the stench of a burnt-out transformer.

Xing touched the "noodles" in the plate.

It's rock hard.

This looks like... a thick copper wire pulled from a discarded cable?

and……

In order to achieve a better presentation, it seems that Sister Himeko even used pliers to roll it into the shape of spaghetti.

The sauce is... scalding hot lava?

Xing was silent for two seconds.

then.

In order not to disappoint Himeko's feelings.

She picked up a "noodle".

"collapse!"

It's so hard.

Moreover, the soup base made with liquid metal is too slippery and doesn't hold the flavor at all.

Xing chewed through a copper wire with great effort, feeling a slight soreness in his jaw muscles.

She put down her fork.

Write on the wooden board:

[5 points]

It gets stuck in my teeth a bit. I suggest... I suggest not making it next time.

"..."

Himeko stared at the dismal 5 points and fell into deep thought.

"Is it too hard?"

"It seems that simple physical materials cannot satisfy her taste buds."

Himeko's gaze fell on the coffee machine beside her.

……

A flash of inspiration struck her.

"Since we're aiming for perfection..."

"Then let's see it through to the end!"

……

The third dish.

Himeko walked over carrying a black ceramic bowl.

In the bowl.

It was a pool of... pitch-black liquid.

It was even bubbling with purple bubbles.

formula:

Himeko's special hand-drip coffee grounds + high-energy engine oil + a tiny bit of... star core residue.

"Come, Star."

Himeko's voice was full of confidence.

"This is my sister's... masterpiece."

Xing leaned closer.

Her nose twitched.

"Sniff—"

It tastes weird.

It smells good.

It's bitter.

again……

That's awesome!

The radioactive smell emanating from the stellar core remnants hit me right in the head!

Xing's intuition told her:

This thing... is definitely a good one!

"Sizzle!"

Xing did not hesitate at all.

Out of trust in Himeko, and also out of a desire for energy.

She picked up the bowl.

Boldly.

Tilt your head back.

I downed it in one gulp!

"Gulp—!!"

Liquid enters the throat.

In that very instant.

Xing's face, which was originally expressionless...

It solidified.

Followed by.

Her eyes widened suddenly, and her golden pupils shrank to pinpoints in an instant.

"Ugh—!!!"

A suppressed groan.

then.

"thump!"

She slid off the chair, stiff and rigid.

He fell to the ground.

"star?!"

The person taking pictures nearby on March 7th was so frightened that they dropped their camera.

"What's wrong?!"

All I could see were stars on the ground.

His whole body began to convulse violently.

His limbs kicked wildly.

even……

The top of her head, her ears, her nostrils...

Black smoke is billowing out!

"Aaaaaah!!"

March 7th screamed.

"Himeko-nee! What did you feed her?!"

"Is this poisoning?!"

"Quickly!! Call for help!!"

Hearing the commotion, Dan Heng rushed in from the next carriage.

Upon seeing this, his face instantly turned ashen.

He lunged forward and pinned down Xing's kicking legs.

"Don't move! Hold her down!"

"Go find Mr. Walter quickly! Get the antidote!"

The food cart was in complete chaos.

Himeko panicked too.

The tray in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"I...I just..."

She looked at Xing, who was convulsing uncontrollably, her face pale.

"Could it be... that even Hoshino can't drink my coffee?"

……

A few minutes later.

The stars on Earth, suddenly...

It stopped moving.

"star?"

On March 7th, he cautiously leaned closer and reached under her nose to feel her nose.

"Are you... still alive?"

Just then.

Xing suddenly sat up!

"Ouch, that scared me!" March 7th was so startled that he sat down on the ground with a thud.

Xing ignored her.

She sat there blankly.

Reach out.

He touched his eyes, which were covered with thick gauze.

Just now……

The moment that bowl of "special blend" went down my throat.

My eyes have miraculously recovered!

Although it's very blurry.

Although it was only a little bit.

but……

She can finally see again.

Excited.

ecstasy.

Xing's hands were shaking.

She grabbed the wooden board.

Pick up the pen.

Brush brush!

He wrote a line of large characters in a wild, cursive script.

then.

It was held high in front of Himeko.

That's really powerful!!!

[Even more powerful than a star core!!!]

【It still has to be Himeko-nee's coffee!】

My eyes have recovered!

"..."

On March 7th, he stared at the words for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

"turn out to be……"

"Is Himeko-nee's coffee for Hoshino?"

"Then it's not surprising."
