Chapter 24 Special Eunuch: I... Don't have a cute March 7th?!
[ "Universe, Galaxy Train, Aeons... What kind of sci-fi movie have I been dragged into? And this thing inside me, called a Stellaron..."
The starlight outside the window seemed to converge into a giant golden whale, traveling through the stars with the train amidst starry whispers. Gazing at the dazzling scenery outside the window, Stelle couldn't help but reach out towards it.
"Are you trying to catch stars?"
The adorable March 7th suddenly popped her head in, catching Stelle off guard as she leaned forward, almost face to face, like a female classmate sharing intimate secrets.
Stelle could smell a scent similar to macarons coming from her, sweet and hazy, floating in the air, making Stelle feel momentarily dazed.
March 7th smiled faintly, her rainbow-like pupils revealing childlike curiosity.]

『Viewers of Countless World』
At this moment, the men outside the light screen, struck by March 7th's close-up beauty, exclaimed that they were in love... Such an adorable girl must have been an angel in her past life, right?
Cute, lively, and energetic girls are always a special weapon against straight men.
~Genshin Impact World~
"Do girls like this really exist?"
Inside the Sacred Fire Arena, a certain Smoke Knight shaman glanced furtively at Citlali behind him, who was holding a wine glass, drunk and flushed, and muttered softly,
"Even though she also has pink hair and looks like a girl, why is there such a big difference?"
Unfortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, he was startled by the sound of someone slamming the table behind him.
"Y-You... what did you say?!"
The previously incoherent Citlali suddenly appeared behind him.
"So, you dare to badmouth Obsidian Grandma, I, I... think you're tired of living... hic."
"Looks like you've forgotten my methods, Grandma's... ugh..."
Citlalli just raised her hand when a strong feeling of nausea surged into her throat. She subconsciously covered her mouth... but ultimately couldn't hold it back, and vomited everything onto the poor Smoke Knight shaman.
In the end, Lumine pulled Citlali away and helped her to rest.
"Traveler..."
Citlali, who was dizzy from vomiting, finally regained some consciousness and spoke softly. Watching Lumine prepare to leave, she couldn't help but reach out and grab her skirt.
Citlali looked at the light screen, her lake-blue pupils reflecting March 7th's flower-like smile. Then, she carefully averted her gaze and looked at the Traveler... her evasive eyes were like a deer in the forest, frightened and cautious, making people want to protect her.
Even though she had been fiercely strong in front of outsiders just now, at this moment, she didn't seem like the dreaded high priestess of the Mictlan tribe, but rather a flirtatious and innocent girl, cautiously testing something.
"Traveler..."
Just as Citlali was about to speak, a slender finger was placed against her lips.
Lumine didn't say anything, but just smiled at her. Her eyes were clear, like dew falling from grass leaves in the morning, making people want to catch it.
—She could hear Lumine's heart.
And she could also hear her own "thump-thump" heartbeat.
In an instant, a blush appeared on the old thing's adorable cheeks.
"Hmph, I... of course I know that, those damned, ignorant guys."
Citlali crossed her arms, turned her head away, and let out a proud tsundere-ish snort that could travel three hundred meters against the wind,
"Well... I'll let it go this time, but if he dares to badmouth me behind my back while I'm drunk next time, I'll definitely make him remember the fear of being dominated by Obsidian Grandma."
—
[ "Hehe, I've done that too." March 7th chuckled and sat next to Stelle.
"But I didn't catch stars—I caught a lamp."
"When I first woke up from the ice, I opened my eyes and saw a cluster of starlight—so I instinctively reached out, but it was just the ceiling light in the train car."
"Everyone in the train crew was watching me at the time. It was so embarrassing."
As she spoke, Stelle noticed that March 7th's expression was a bit lonely. Although she was trying her best to hide it, the emotions in her eyes still betrayed her.
Stelle leaned in slightly: "Everyone was surrounding you?"
"Of course! Like they were observing some strange cosmic creature—but I don't blame them, after all, no one knows where I came from."
"Can you imagine? Before being salvaged by the train, I was frozen in a block of ice, drifting in the universe."
Mentioning her past, March 7th was uncharacteristically less lively, but rather slightly sad.
"Do you remember anything before you were frozen?" Stelle asked.
"Who knows? I don't remember anything from before. Who am I, what my original name was, where I came from... I've forgotten all of it. Even the name 'March 7th' was just to commemorate the date I was awakened."
"So I'm staying on the train, following it station by station. Hoping that one day I can find my past..."
Although March 7th was trying her best to say these things in a cheerful tone, the atmosphere was still sad. ]

~Frieren: Beyond Journey's End World~
"I originally thought March 7th was a girl with a happy and fulfilling family, but I didn't expect her to have this kind of experience, too."
Sein said with pity,
"But this optimism and open-mindedness are commendable. You can't get on the Astral Express without a special background, right?"
Frieren analyzed calmly,
"Currently, three out of the five members of the train crew besides Pom-Pom have amnesia; Himeko's identity hasn't been mentioned, and Mr. Welt can suppress the Stellaron with a wave of his hand, especially that cane, which is completely unfathomable. In short, what I want to say is... none of the people on the train crew have simple identities."
"Speaking of March 7th, I have a guess."
Stark raised his hand,
"Don't you guys think March 7th's ice looks familiar? Like a certain Aeon..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fern suddenly realized and responded,
"The Aeon of Remembrance!"
"Not bad, you're quite perceptive."
Frieren gave Stark an admiring look.
The Aeon of Remembrance seems to be composed of solid ice from head to toe, looking noble and mysterious, which is just right in line with March 7th's own ice attribute.
Moreover, she has amnesia, and the Aeon of Remembrance just happens to be in charge of the memories of all people in the universe...
It's hard not to make people guess.

[ In the light screen, the train was about to start warping, and Stelle, after finishing her conversation with March 7th, went to Himeko to inquire about information about the next stop.
Himeko sat in a chair, propping her chin with one hand, her beautiful eyes lingering on the brilliant starlight outside the window, and said gently,
"Our next destination is a very small planet, codenamed 'Jarilo-VI'." ]
