People playing with figurines on Star Railway

"What a huge snowball!"

March 7th rubbed his bottom and went to the viewing window to look outside. The huge snowball was really attractive.

"I'm sorry, passengers. There has been a temporary malfunction during this jump. An unknown force is blocking the train's progress, and after testing, it has been determined to be the star core Pa."

Pam's voice came over the radio.

"Current route coordinates are Yalilo-VI."

Upon hearing Pam's voice, Danheng, as the train's think tank administrator, immediately retrieved the information on Yalilo-VI.

"After investigation, it was found that Yalilo-VI was a vibrant green planet a long time ago."

"Danheng, you said this is a planet teeming with life?"

March 7th pointed to the large snowball, somewhat incredulous.

“March was a long time ago,” Dan Heng corrected. “But even if it differs from the think tank’s records, it would take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years for a planet to go from being full of life to being covered in snow.”

"In other words, the cause of this problem must be the stellar core?"

"Very likely..."

Chapter 15 Wait a minute, a wanted criminal? An accomplice?

Walking through the cold valley, Liu Yu rubbed his arms and exhaled a breath of cold air.

"It's really cold!"

"you do not say!"

March 7th said from the side.

"Fortunately, we have the protection of pioneers, otherwise we would be wearing thick cotton-padded coats too."

March 7th said with a grin, "Although it still feels a bit cold."

"really!"

Liu Yu nodded in agreement.

As for Dan Heng, he looked at the terrain ahead but did not respond.

As for Xing, he was lying on his back on the snow, swishing through the snow like an automaton.

Yes, although there is an extra Liu Yu, it is still the same as in the story, with these newbies embarking on a journey to explore and seal the star core in Yalilo.

Before coming down, Liu Yu clearly saw that Walter and Himeko actually wanted to participate in this exploration, but they gave the opportunity to these young people.

The wind and snow howled as the group walked through the snow-covered valley, heading outwards.

"This valley is really... wow!"

Just as Xing was about to speak, her collar was ripped open by a blade, and a handful of snow was thrown in, making her shudder.

"Liu Yu!!!"

She turned her head and saw Liu Yu grinning at her. Then, to Xing's astonishment, a snowball hit her right in the face.

"Ha ha……"

Liu Yu laughed and ran forward.

Xing wiped the snow off her face, angrily grabbed some snowflakes from the ground and made them into a ball, ready to retaliate. But when she looked again, Ren Liuyu had already darted ahead and was almost out of sight.

"What a child!"

On March 7th, he spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.

But the next moment, she suffered the same treatment as Xing, and she jumped up.

Upon closer inspection, isn't this Xing's work?

"star!"

"hey-hey……"

Xingye grinned mischievously, then turned and ran.

"Stop!!!!"

On March 7th, she stomped her foot and ran out chasing after the star.

Dan Heng, watching this scene from the side, smiled slightly.

He realized that Xing was just trying to make others experience the same thing – her umbrella had been torn.

The group joked and played around all the way, which was quite fun.

thump!

Liu Yu was tackled to the ground by Xing, who sat on his back and lifted up the back of his collar.

"Etc., etc!"

Ke Xing remained silent, only grabbing handfuls of snow from the ground and stuffing it into his clothes.

Liu Yu felt a chill on his back, but more than that, he felt Xingna sitting on his back; it wasn't heavy, but it was very soft.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, Xing on the back jumped up and used both hands to shake the snow out of her clothes.

March 7th hid behind Danheng and watched this scene with amusement.

Clearly, while Xing was punishing Liu Yu, March 7th launched a sneak attack.

"March!!!"

"Lelel, who told you to mess with me just now!"

On March 7th, he stuck out his tongue and made a face.

Xing was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"You...why are you laughing?"

"No, I didn't laugh!"

Xing's expression instantly calmed down, as if she had transformed from an abstract concept into a cool and aloof older sister.

However, this clearly did not dispel March 7's doubts; on the contrary, it made him even more vigilant.

Liu Yu sat up, shook the back of his clothes to get the snow out, and then stood up.

"Okay, stop making trouble!"

"Who started this whole mess?!"

March 7th and Xing looked at Liu Yu and angrily rebuked him.

"Haha, these clouds are so white!"

"Yes, the sky is really bright here!"

"That's right, buddy!"

"No, who are you?"

The sudden interruption of the sound drew everyone's attention to its source.

Not far away, a head with blue hair popped out of the snow and looked at the group with a smirk.

"Are all the people on this planet born from the ground?"

March 7th tugged at Danheng's sleeve and asked in a low voice...

Dan Heng's eye twitched; he was unsure how to respond.

"Me? That's a good question, ma'am. I am Sambo Kosky, the most famous know-it-all in Belloberg. You could say that having me is like having a merchant, a guide, and a conversation partner all at once... How about that, isn't it a good deal?"

The blue-haired man stood up abruptly from the snow, shook off the snow off his body like a fly rubbing its hands, and walked towards the crowd with a fawning expression.

"Stop!"

Danheng stepped forward, his spear pointing directly at Sambo. At the same moment, March 7th summoned his bow, and Xing held his baseball bat, comparing which spot would be more comfortable to hit.

"Oh dear, sir, please don't hit me. Let's talk this out."

Sambo abruptly stopped and looked at everyone with a fawning expression.

However, his expression definitely doesn't suggest he's a good person.

"You said you're from the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop)?"

On March 7th, he peeked out from behind Danheng and asked a question.

“This young lady is right. My name is Sambo, and I am indeed from the Yorozuya. The Yorozuya…”

"Stop, stop, stop! I just want to know if you can lead us out of this valley?"

"It's very simple. As new guests, you'll all get your meal for free this time! I, Sambo, will definitely lead you out of the valley!"

Although it was suspicious, everyone present thought it would be a good idea to have a local guide them.

Besides, the people here are all quite strong. Even if the other party has some problems, they can subdue them immediately, right?

Of the group, only Liu Yu knew that Sang Bo was a shrewd businessman, but essentially a decent guy.

Well, although he almost always causes trouble every time he comes out, isn't he just a different version of Patch from another perspective?

They can always provide you with crucial information or a shortcut from unexpected angles.

"Then Pa... no, Sambo. Please lead the way!"

Liu Yu shrugged and gestured for Sang Bo to lead the way.

Upon hearing this, Sangbo smiled and led the way for everyone.

"Speaking of Bellberg..."

Is Belleburg a city very close to here?

March 7th asked.

"Sister, are you really unaware, or is there something else? Right now, Belloborg is the only city left on the entire planet!"

Sambo had a look on her face that said, "Sister, are you kidding me?"

"Actually, we came here from outer space."

"I understand, they're from out of town!"

Upon hearing the word "outsider," Liu Yu immediately thought of the six words: "despicable outsider."

Fortunately, the Star Train crew were not despicable outsiders; everything they did was aboveboard!

"Speaking of which, since you're from the Yorozuya, do you know where the Star Core is?"

On March 7th, he suddenly asked...

They call themselves the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop), so they must have a lot of information.

"Star core... what is that?"

Sangbo looked completely bewildered.

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps approached.

Upon hearing the footsteps, Sangbo's expression became somewhat subtle.

March 7, Danheng, and Xingdu all looked toward the source of the sound, unaware of the change in Sangbo's expression.

"Report! Wanted criminal Sambo and his accomplices have been spotted!!!"

"Wait, a wanted criminal? An accomplice?"

Hearing the sound coming from ahead, March 7th suddenly turned his head to look at Sangbo's location.

But what met the eye was an empty snowfield and a series of footprints that had disappeared...

Chapter 16 The Fool's Mask

"Ugh, I always thought there was something wrong with Sambo!"

March 7th stared blankly at the spot where Sangbo had disappeared, and spoke with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"That...March?"
