Little Gui's livestream.
Guinaifen's expression returned to a serious state.
"Ahem…"
"Let's put aside the strength of the Harmony Lord for now."
"Right now, so many of our family in Penacony are lost in the Dream of Ena!"
"The top priority is to push forward with the main storyline!"
"Let's see if there's any way we can help them?"
...
"Little Gui, you weren't like this earlier."
"Look, this is what we call professionalism."
"Maybe they're completely enchanted in their dreams right now!"
[Astral Express's Pom-Pom gifted Little Gui a Diting Storm!]
[Strategic Investment Department's Aventurine gifted Little Gui a Heart of the Universe!]
[Luofu's Old Jing gifted Little Gui a Galaxy's Light!]
[...]
...
Seeing many people sending supportive gifts.
Although she thought it was most likely not the real individuals, just fans having fun.
Little Gui didn't dare to slack off!
What if one of them was actually real!
Continue with the story!
The left side of the game interface displayed the task description.
[Everything that Rises Must Converge]
[Talk with your companions and organize the information]
March 7th spoke first: "Is he saying we should compete at the Charmony Festival?"
Firefly nodded slightly: "That's probably what he means."
"How strange! I've been on guard for when the big villain would make his move, but in the end, he's still talking about fairness… Could it be that he never took us seriously?"
Himeko summarized: "In my opinion, Sunday is deeply convinced of his ideals and genuinely wants to prove the correctness of Order to us."
"From him, I sense a strong conviction and desire for control. If he can't win fairly, I doubt he'll be able to justify it to himself."
"And because of that, in the upcoming confrontation—he will undoubtedly give it his all."
[We can't back down either]
March 7th: "Hmm… You're right. We've already dealt with the Lord Ravager of Destruction, so a mere Order shouldn't be a problem."
...
"I'm relieved to see the Astral Express Crew still so confident…"
"Our real-life Astral Express Crew must be preparing for this too, right?"
"I suspect that account earlier was the real deal…"
"I'm March 7th, and our Astral Express is actively following Little Gui's storyline! We'll definitely find the flaws in Order!"
"Caught a little March!"
"If there's anything we players can do, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Yay! The chat atmosphere is gradually returning to what I approve of!"
"This is a battle for us, the Astral Express players!"
"With so many players across the universe, can't we shake Sunday's Order?"
"It's a guaranteed win, bro!"
"I, who bear the name of Trailblaze, will never lose."
"Let's keep watching the story and see how the Astral Express Crew unravels this Dream of Ena!"
...
Guinaifen also felt the enthusiasm of the players!
In the livestream camera.
She seemed to be shouldering the great responsibility of analyzing enemy intelligence!
For the first time, she felt that her role as a game storyline host was so important!
Her eyes immediately became as firm as steel!
Continue—
Himeko: "No matter what, the Astral Express cannot turn a blind eye to the Stellaron. To Trailblaze a future for Penacony is also the long-cherished wish of predecessors like Mikhail."
"Everyone, since we've taken up the baton, we must not fail their will."
Firefly spoke with a grave expression: "But it's the same for the Order. Their plans are not something that happened overnight. Behind it lies the vast consciousness nurtured by the Planet of Festivities for centuries—"
"The desire to dream, the laziness to sleep, and the urge to escape and give up… These emotions, subtly fostered in people, have become the cradle for the Order's beautiful dream."
"Using the will of an entire world to propel the birth of an Aeon… This confrontation is by no means a simple clash of strength. For the future of Penacony, it cannot be just you fighting on the stage."
"You? What do you mean, aren't you coming with us…" March 7th asked in surprise.
Himeko: "I think what Miss Firefly means is that she's heading to another battlefield."
"Yes."
"…Before setting off, Destiny's Slave told me that this journey would bring me unforgettable gains. The script he gave was only a few lines, but it was impossible to ignore."
"Because one of the lines said… I would experience three deaths in the land of dreams."
...
"???"
"Oh no!"
"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"First, Tingyun went missing, her fate unknown, and now Misha has fulfilled his wish and disappeared… Honkai: Star Rail is really going all out!"
"I almost cried myself unconscious from the last time I got 'knifed,' and now you're telling me there are two more!?"
"I'm sweating bullets."
"~Firefly: So I just have to die, huh?"
"Firefly! Screw this crappy script, let's not play it! As long as we can survive…"
"Blade: I'm so envious!"
"Friends, don't worry. Since the plot has been foreshadowed up to this point, Firefly and the others must have a way to avoid the worst outcome."
...
Firefly continued: "The first was a pain akin to death, my body pierced by the slumbering wing blades, which led to all the stories that followed. The script will inevitably come true, but the form… will only be revealed when that page is turned."
"So now, I've understood the meaning of the second death and am ready to act on it. If all goes well, this will provide crucial support for you."
"Only by winning this victory can Penacony have a future. And only then will the yet-to-come third, and final, death… not manifest in the worst possible way."
March 7th: "The worst possible way, that would be…"
"True death… Everyone in Penacony would forever sink into the Order's beautiful dream."
"That's a future we must avoid at all costs."
Himeko asked: "Miss Firefly, have you… made your resolve?"
"Yes. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be here."
"Thank you again for your assistance to the Astral Express. I hope we meet again in reality."
"Yes, goodbye, everyone. May your Trailblaze journey—never end."
...
"Firefly gets along so well and harmoniously with the Astral Express Crew…"
"March 7th even nodded in approval."
"Why be a Stellaron Hunter, just get on the train already!"
"Join the Nameless, embrace a wonderful life!"
"Firefly's resolute gaze and smile are truly heart-wrenching!"
"Firefly, the fleeting yet brilliant glow that passes by..."
"Is this still the Sam I knew, the one who ignited the seas?"
"Firefly: Let me find where the seas of Penacony are..."
...
