Star Railroad: The Bizarre Adventures of the Herrscher of Knowledge

Bronia sat in the room for a long time, messy information scrambling around her head, making her overwhelmed.

She got up to get some water and saw that there were coffee beans in a cabinet on one side.

On a whim, she took out the coffee beans and placed a small stone mill on the table.

When I shake the stone mill coffee round by circle, I feel that my mood is not as irritable as before, but slowly become calmer.

Watching the coffee being ground little by little and squeezed on the grinding table, my mind is like being ground little by little, no longer a mess.

In the quiet room, there was only the rustle of stone grinders.

Squeak~

Star pushed open the door of the room and saw Bronia who was busy over there.

Perhaps too engaged, Bronia did not hear the door open.

"What are you doing?"

"Huh? Yes!!

Bronia woke up from her trance, saw the star standing beside her, and said,

"Oh! It's you, why did you wake up? Can't sleep?

Star nodded and said, "Had a nightmare and then couldn't sleep again."

"This way. Then you can sit next to me and have a chat.

Bronia's grinding motion in her hand kept moving, and motioned for Star to sit down.

"Do you drink coffee? How about I help you make a cup by the way? Hoshi

remembered that when she was on the train, Himeko often made coffee for everyone to drink.

Now she wanted to taste what Belloberg's coffee would taste different.

Affirmed by the stars, Bronia added some coffee beans to the stone mill. Her hand held the grinding rod and spun it in a circle.

Bronia asked

, "The star core you are talking about, if you really find it, how sure are you to stop the cold wave?"

Star shook his head apologetically and said,

"I don't know... However, without solving the trouble of the star core, we have no way to leave, so we will do our best. "

Is that so... Thank you, you are so honest, my heart is more down-to-earth. There

was a brief silence between the two, only the rustle of stone grinding.

After a while, a lot of coffee powder accumulated on the mill.

Star watched quietly as Bronia put the coffee powder into the filter cup where the coffee was brewed, and then poured the boiling water into the filter cup little by little.

The ground coffee is soaked with boiling water and dripped little by little into the pot below.

A strong smell of coffee fills the living room.

"Oh, it's also a pity that there are still this ancient punching props here, which are rare now." When on the ground, they are brewed and drunk directly with processed coffee. While

brewing coffee, Bronia recalled the coffee that Kokolia's mother had made her coffee when she was a child, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

"Can this kind of thing be successfully planted in a cold wave?"

"Don't underestimate the scientists in Belloberg." Bronia came back to her senses and said, "There have been various crops cultivated indoors for many years.

"Oh~ that's really remarkable."

Bronia poured a cup of coffee into the cup, served it to Star, and then poured herself a cup as well.

The two leaned on the sofa and savored the taste of fresh coffee.

"Mother," Bronia shook her head and changed her title, "Lord Kokolia didn't give the order to arrest you in the first place, and this bothers me.

Star replied, "At first, the Great Guardian was very polite to us, and we couldn't figure out why we suddenly became wanted criminals.

"I'm not sure Mother saw something from you... Something I couldn't detect. "

I don't know... Mother... Why did Lord Kokolia give the death order to arrest the prisoner when there was no evidence at all?

"You look contradictory!"

"Huh?"

"You want to call her Mother, but you always correct yourself to call her Lord Kokolia or Lord Guardian. What are you afraid of?

Xing's words made Bronia fall into deep thought, perhaps even she didn't understand what she was hesitating and afraid of.

After a while, Bronia put down her cup and said,

"Do you want to go for a walk?" Always stuffy in the room, I feel that my mood is getting worse and worse.

Xing thought for a moment, there should be nothing wrong here, so he nodded.

The two walked out of the Goethe Grand Hotel and wandered around the town of Panyan.

Bronia told her story little by little, and Star listened silently on the side.

From a young age, he was strictly educated by his mother, and when he was older, he led the silver-maned iron guard to the front line to fight.

She saw with her own eyes those soldiers fighting to the death on the front line and losing their lives, but they were completely unable to stop the erosion of the expansion of the rift.

"Lord Mother transferred all the silver-maned iron guards to the front line, blocking the passage between the upper and lower areas, and only retaining the passage of supplies and the earth pith. I used to approve of this decision..."

"But I didn't expect that the lower area that lost the silver-maned iron guard would be ruined to such a state... Maybe I'm wrong, and my mother is wrong..."

"But I can't change her mind." I tried, she didn't listen to me at all, I can't help it..." Xing

then spoke, "Then wouldn't it be good if you came to be this guardian."

Bronia showed a shocked expression, her eyes flashed, and then said in fear:

"No... This thought is terrible! Absolutely not, no way!

She stood in place and held her forehead, and said with a painful expression:

"I just hope that the people of Beloberg can have a better life..." "

We can't prevent the end of the world alone, we help each other, and maybe there is a turnaround."

Bronia looked at the star, not knowing what to do with her, but just walked forward stunned.

"Perhaps... You're right, or you're wrong. I... And think again. The

two walked side by side through the streets again, and Bronia's mind was like a tangled ball of thread, disorganized and chaotic.

"Ah, I haven't walked like this in a long time." Bronia sighed and said, "Thank you, it feels much better to be able to say the words that are holding in your heart." "

It's okay."

Along the way, they saw homeless people wandering back and forth through the streets, rummaging through garbage cans from time to time.

"I think these wanderers in the mining area are also cornered, and in the end they can only extend their hands to the innocent mining team."

"What would you do if it were you?"

"Me?" Bronia thought about it and said, "Context and bitterness aside, a crime is a crime.

"But... In the face of a complex situation, between axiom and reason, I can't find a balance now..."

Star comforted: "It's okay, I'll find it." "

Hmm..." As

the two walked through an alleyway, they heard a familiar voice.

“... How long can you last with the supplies in your hands?

Bronia immediately recognized that it was Xi'er's voice, so she sped over to see what was going on.

"I know, then I'll go to Rivet Town and help you get your things back."

Natasha said worriedly

, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone, let Oleg send someone with you."

Xi'er retorted:

"Nata, you know, they haven't rested for days, and calling them will only drag me back."

Her brows furrowed, "Besides, you also said that some miners are seriously injured, and time is life..."
