Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

The video begins with a blond man in fancy clothes adjusting his tie amidst whistles, finger snaps, and drumbeats, before flipping the hat he was holding onto his head.

At the same time, the surrounding lights focused on him and a spot next to him, where a man dressed similarly to Xing and wearing a hat could be vaguely seen posing. As the blond man pointed his left hand towards the man's background, the whistling and finger snapping sounds turned into brass instruments, and the entire stage lit up, seemingly in the lobby of a hotel.

The two danced in the lobby to jazz music, and then, with the first line of lyrics, the perspective shifted to a road where a car that looked expensive was driving by in the distance.

[Kiana (Hyperion): Wait, the guy at the beginning is one thing, but who's that guy who dresses like Hoshino and looks so much like her?]

[Qiong (Starry Sky Railway): That's right, it's me! I'm the counterpart from your planet! Yeah, the gender-swapped version.]

After reading what Sora said, Kiana quickly connected with the tree to check the parallel world branch of this world and understood what was going on.

[Kiana (Hyperion): ...Alright then.]

Inside the car, a woman with long, light purple hair and a metal ring floating on her head held a wine glass, gently swirling it as she looked out the window. The light from outside shone through the liquid in the glass, creating a dazzling effect.

As the lyrics shift to the next line, the scene changes again, now taking place in a corridor. An unknown object is hurtling towards a blue-haired waiter at incredible speed. By the time the waiter reacts and turns around to check what's happening, it's too late; the object has already knocked him to the ground, sending his luggage on his trolley flying. Through the scattered luggage, a middle-aged man in a brown suit can be seen smiling as he lights a lighter. He then extinguishes the lighter, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

The camera shifts again, now focusing on the ground against a backdrop of red stardust. A girl's foot steps into the frame, creating ripples. The camera then pans to the girl's profile, revealing many red goldfish floating around her. The girl, with her pigtails and a fox mask that is half red and half white, hops along.

After passing a streetlamp, the camera zooms in on the girl's face. The girl winks playfully at the camera, and then a goldfish flies out of her eye.

As the goldfish obscured most of the frame, the camera shifted again.

The background of the place we arrived at this time was a dark purple stained glass window. A woman raised her hand, surrounded by a circle of unknown cards. The camera then zoomed in on the woman's hand, and she then chose a card and placed it in front of her chest.

The camera then focuses on a burning sparkler, before shifting again to a silver-gray-haired girl holding the sparkler, happily spinning around with her arms outstretched. Qiong, who is holding a phone to take a picture, is momentarily stunned.

Then, with a gentle expression, he pressed the shutter button on his phone. After a series of bizarre and fantastical shots, Qiong stood on the front of a train, still holding the sparkler from the girl's hand. Qiong looked up, and in his pupils, everyone could see the girl from before, her eyes closed, falling from the sky like a streak of light.

With a deep, breathy "Take me away," the song officially enters its chorus.

What followed was a rapid cut, lasting only a few seconds but bringing everyone into a bizarre and fantastical world. Then the camera turned to March 7's back. March 7 was seen raising her camera to take a selfie, and behind her were miniature skyscrapers. In the center of this steel forest, Walter could be seen leaning on his cane, adjusting his glasses.

As the camera pans past the purple-haired woman at the beginning, a burst of fire turns the entire background white, and a silver-white mecha, trailing a streak of emerald green light, rushes into the distance, as if she were charging towards someone.

The scene shifts, and everyone realizes who her target is. A woman who looks remarkably like Mei raises her long sword and unleashes a flurry of blades.

The mech dodged all of the woman's sword flashes, but unfortunately, the woman unleashed an extremely fast sword strike the next moment, leaving the mech no choice but to take the hit. In an instant, the smoke from the explosion covered the area where they were fighting, and when the smoke cleared, purple lightning crackled from the mech's body.

As the scene transitions with smoke, the camera moves to an unnamed canyon, where Qiong is seen running wildly. He then leaps into the air, and a dazzling white light emanates from his hands. In the next shot, he transforms into a giant, four-limbed trash can and begins to punch the equally enormous Sambo.

The final shot shows Sora sitting on a high ground, with a silver-gray woman behind him disappearing into specks of firefly light as the camera rotates. A woman who looks very much like Mei leaves a tear in the upward-looking shot. An animated character anthropomorphized from a clock completes a final dance with Sora, and the scene freezes there.

The video ended there, and the previously quiet group chat began to warm up again.

[Star (Hyperion): Judging from the video, it seems to be talking about our next destination, right? Are the people in it the people we're going to meet? Are any of my husbands or wives in the group chat saying something and introducing themselves?]

[Firefly (Starry Sky Railway): Ah, this…]

[Star (Hyperion): Wife!]

[Qiong (Starry Sky Railway): Bullshit! The person in the video is clearly me, that's my wife. Go find someone from your world!]

[Star (Hyperion): You and I are one person, so what's the difference between yours and mine? What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine!]

[Firefly (Hyperion): Hahaha…]

[Himeko (Starry Sky Railway): Anyway, the place in the video should be Pinocchio. We just finished checking in here. Judging from Hoshi's comment, you haven't arrived yet?]

[Himeko (Hyperion): As I mentioned before, due to some reasons, after resolving the issues at Lovre, we didn't choose to head straight to Pinocchio. Instead, we planned to stay on Lovre for a while longer, since we still had enough time.]

Himeko from the Starry Sky Railway world recalled the time and realized that it was indeed the case.

[Himeko (Starry Sky Railway): Although I don't know everyone's information, I do know the identities of the man at the beginning and that mecha.]

[Gold Sand (Starry Sky Railway): No need for Miss Himeko to introduce myself, my name is Gold Sand, I'm a member of the Strategic Investment Department of Interstellar Peace Corporation, and also the one who helped Starry Sky Railway solve its accommodation problem. As for the identity of that mech, if you've paid attention to our company's wanted posters, you should easily recognize its true identity as one of the Star Core Hunters, and also the last member of the Grammer Ironclad—Star Core Hunter Sam.]

[Himeko (Starry Sky Railway): Because when we accepted the family's invitation, Qiong, which is your local Xing, hadn't yet joined the Starry Sky Railway, their information wasn't on the family's roster, causing us to be unable to complete the check-in procedures for a long time. In the end, Mr. Sandstone stepped in and helped resolve this issue. If you haven't departed yet, I think you can contact the family to resolve this problem first.]

[Gold Sand (Hyperion): Hey, Himeko over there, aren't you depriving me of this great opportunity to meet the Nameless Guest? That's not good, is it?]

[Himeko (Hyperion): Mr. Sandstone, please rest assured. Since you helped our train overcome its difficulties in the future, we naturally won't refuse your request to befriend us. The condition is that you'd better not come with any ulterior motives.]

Himeko's unspoken meaning was clear to Sand Gold, but he was representing the company at the family's music festival with the goal of reclaiming Pinocchio. He had approached the Starry Sky Train because he valued the train, and it was impossible for him to make friends without a purpose.

It seems that Toppa's last trip to Yalilo-VI to collect debts ended in such a way, and the influence of the Star Train may have been greater than he imagined.

Hundreds of years ago, Yalilo-VI was plunged into a civilizational crisis due to an attack by the Destroyer Legion. Before the company evacuated, the leader of Yalilo-VI borrowed a sum of money and two military production lines from the company. Subsequently, the company encountered a stellar core explosion crisis and was completely cut off from the universe.

It was initially thought that this debt would end up as a mess, but unexpectedly, Yalilo-VI miraculously survived the Star Core Crisis and successfully re-established contact with the outside world. Subsequently, Yalilo-VI's bills were brought up again. However, no one in the strategic investment department wanted to take on such a thorny deal, and in the end, Toppa, who had a similar experience, took on the task.

In the end, Yalilo-VI rejected Topa's proposal and chose to create a better tomorrow for future generations with their own hands. Topa, in his own name and in the name of the Starry Sky Railway navigator, guaranteed the repayment and drafted a new repayment agreement.

Because of this failed deal, Toppa's employee level was demoted by one level, and he also had to go to Pinocene with his colleague whom he didn't get along with to help him take back Pinocene.

Looking back now, it's likely that Yalilo-VI was able to re-establish contact with the outside world thanks to the Nameless Guest. According to the archived files, Yalilo-VI was holding a celebration to commemorate surviving the Star Core Crisis. If this had nothing to do with the Star Train, then the Nameless Guest wouldn't have been on Yalilo-VI at the time.

[Golden Sands (Hyperion): Of course, of course. Everyone here was invited by our families to attend the Harmony Ceremony. I've always enjoyed making friends; as the saying goes, the more friends you have, the fewer enemies you have. Even if there's no mutual benefit, as long as it reduces my future enemies, that's wonderful.]

[Huang Quan (Starry Sky Railway): I am the one fighting Sam. My name is Huang Quan, and I am a sea patrol ranger.]

[Potio (Starry Sky Railway): You son of a bitch, Ocean Ranger! You're a fake! I'm the real Ocean Ranger!]

[Huang Quan (Starry Sky Railway): I apologize, but I am not a true Sea Patrol Ranger. For some reason, I was entrusted to search for Sea Patrol Rangers. Because your whereabouts are elusive, this is the only way I can lure you out.]

Jing Yuan looked at the heated chat between Huang Quan and Potio in the group chat and couldn't help but sigh.

[Jing Yuan (Hyperion): I never expected to meet a Sea Ranger here. It's been many years since I last heard that name. I feel much better now, and my body seems to have become younger too!]

[Potio (Hyperion): I never expected a general like you to make such a remark. Do you want to be a seafaring knight-errant?]

[Jing Yuan (Hyperion): Haha, to be honest, my dream when I was young was indeed to become a seafaring knight-errant, traveling the world to fulfill my hunting tradition. Unfortunately, time has passed, and for various reasons, I haven't been able to become a seafaring knight-errant; instead, I've become this celestial ship general.]

[Potio (Hyperion): It's not too late to become one now. We'd love to see a Celestial General retire and become a Sea Patrol Ranger. That way, it's about time we let this universe know that our precious Sea Patrol Rangers aren't all dead yet!]

[Jing Yuan (Hyperion): I'm old, I can't do it anymore. I'm long past that youthful vigor, let bygones be bygones.]

[Potio (Hyperion): That's a real shame! Never mind all that nonsense, what about his precious Yellow Springs of our world? Why don't you come out and explain why you impersonated one of our Sea Rangers?]

[Huang Quan (Hyperion): My reason is the same as mine in that other world: I was entrusted to find you, the Sea Rangers. I will return the Sea Ranger's belongings that I am carrying to you. As for the name of that Sea Ranger, it is &*%……￥%……￥……]

[Potio (Hyperion): ?]

[Yellow Spring (Huberlian): &*%…￥%…￥…]

[Yellow Springs (Starry Sky Railway): &*%……￥%……￥……]

[Walter (Hyperion): It seems this system doesn't want us to know the identity of this Sea Ranger in advance.]

[Huang Quan (Hyperion): Sorry, I can't post my name. Anyway, this is why I came to Pinocene using my identity as a Sea Patrol Ranger. Speaking of which, I seem to remember that this Sea Patrol Ranger seems to have some special connection with Pinocene.]

Before Huang Quan could finish sending the message, a new video appeared on the screen.
