Chapter 347 A Pure and Beautiful Dream
Chapter 347 A Pure and Beautiful Dream
Eve shook her head without saying a word.
Eve instinctively felt some resistance towards this strange person.
Silver Branch sighed, "I understand... Miss Eve, forgive my guess, but although you possess such beauty, you don't have much understanding of 'pure beauty,' and therefore cannot accept it..."
“I respect different ideas, Miss Eve, but it seems now…”
"Since you are unaware of the existence of 'Pure Beauty,' I have no choice but to manifest it in a knightly manner—"
"I implore you to engage in a chivalrous contest. If I am fortunate enough to win, please acknowledge that the pure and beautiful goddess Idrila is unparalleled in beauty!"
March 7th immediately became anxious, "Hey, hey, hey, you laid a hand on a lady, is that what you call chivalry?"
Yinzhi shook her head. "What I have said and done is absolutely true."
"Having such beauty, yet for the sake of the pure goddess, I will spare no effort," Yinzhi said righteously.
“You…” March 7th was completely speechless.
"Come on," Eve said helplessly.
"Then, I will be rude."
Silver Branch conjured a spear in its hand and charged towards Eve.
The silver spearhead blossomed with vibrant roses; the interplay of silver and crimson created an exquisite offensive.
In an instant, Eve was caught off guard as the two fought fiercely.
"Not bad, Miss Eve."
"As expected of someone I respect."
"Not only does she possess such beauty, but she also has such dazzling moves..."
"Ah, you are the one who should join the Pure Beauty Knights."
"Let's go together to find the pure and beautiful goddess, Idrila!!"

"Eve, what is he doing?"
March 7th points to Silver Branch, who is standing still with his eyes closed, foolishly waving his spear.
"It's nothing, I just gave him a dream to play with." Eve stretched.
"A dream?" March 7th asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I didn't have time to fight him, so I just gave him a dream to play with."
Eve had already sat back down on the sofa, picked up a magazine, and started casually reading it.
"Ah, so he's dreaming right now? Then all these words are... Pfft, hahahaha, so cringeworthy!" March 7th couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't laugh, have you forgotten your teenage years?" Eve looked up at March 7.
Instantly, March 7's smile vanished.
Xing, who was standing next to her, laughed along.
Sure enough, the smile didn't disappear; it just moved on.
"Are you so sure you never had a chuunibyou (delusional) phase?" Eve asked again, launching into a soul-searching question.
Okay, Xing's smile disappeared too.
“But we can’t just leave him in the car like this, can we?” Jing Yuan asked worriedly.
"It's alright, the dream will end soon," Eve said, continuing to flip through the magazine.
For a full hour, everyone watched as Yinzhi brandished her spear and chanted cringeworthy lines.
An hour later, Yinzhi was covered in sweat and collapsed on the ground, exhausted.
"Phew, no wonder she can rival the beauty of the Pure Goddess."
I acknowledge you!
Yinzhi opened his eyes at this moment, and the scene in front of him changed from Eve's panting to everyone in the train crew staring at him with wide eyes.
"What...what's going on?" Yinzhi asked, somewhat bewildered.
Weren't we just evenly matched in a battle?
Could it be that all of this was just a dream?
When exactly did I fall into this dream?
"You're awake? The surgery was a success. You're a mature young woman now," Xing said cheekily as she came to his side.
"what?"
Yinzhi was stunned for a moment and immediately got up to check her lower body.
Xing was immediately happy, but just as she was about to laugh, she heard Yinzhi sigh.
"Sigh, I thought it was true! Otherwise, I could have gotten one step closer to the pure and beautiful goddess Idrila..."
Now it was Xinglai's turn to be dumbfounded.
Walter Young couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to ask, "Why did you rear-end the train?"
"I apologize; I was too focused on my conversation with Ms. Eve. Now, it's time to formally explain the reason for my visit: to resolve the current 'crisis' in our collaboration."
"I was originally piloting the 'Rare and Unparalleled' through the galaxy—but during my journey, I stumbled upon Villett, a company employee who had been stranded, and pulled him out of a huge cave he had accidentally fallen into."
"After rescuing Villette, I planned to escort him safely to his original destination, which led me to change course. Unexpectedly, this coincided with the train's route."
"Who is Vilit?" Xing asked, puzzled.
“According to Villett, he is an employee of the Interstellar Peace Corporation. He has been through a lot of frights along the way and should be resting on the ‘Rare and Wonderful’ ship now,” Silverbrush explained.
"Because of what he saw and heard on his journey, he was completely convinced and vowed to follow the goddess Idrila."
"Hey, hey, hey, stop going off-topic. Why did you rear-end the train?" March 7th pressed.
"We had just set off when a sudden tremor occurred—I initially thought we were being blocked by an unidentified space object, but when I looked up, the view outside the ship changed! At the same moment I looked out... a rear-end collision also happened," Silver Branch said helplessly.
"So I took Villette with me on the train, hoping to work together with the train crew to resolve the current crisis."
"Crisis? Didn't you crash the train?" March 7th was a little confused.
"Little March, look out the window," Himeko reminded him.
On March 7th, I immediately looked out the window and saw that the familiar starry sky was no longer there, but a combination of pink and flesh tones... In short, it was hard to describe this eerie color, which sometimes made me feel a chill, and sometimes made me feel very sweet.
"What is this? I'm not going to get caught in some kind of dream bubble again, am I?" March 7th was a little scared.
“No, that’s not it.” Himeko shook her head. “This isn’t the feeling Yumebukuro should have.”
"Besides, if it were a dream bubble, Miss Eve should have given us a heads-up."
Eve nodded. "Yes."
"Where are we now?" March 7th was still unsure.
"It seems that when we turned to dealing with dream bubbles, we accidentally stumbled into a terrible place."
"In any case, let's deal with the immediate problem together."
“Is that right, Mr. Knight?” Himeko looked at Ginji.
“This elegant, seven-out-of-ten beautiful lady is right,” Silver Branch nodded.
"7 points?" Himeko's smile was somewhat dangerous.
"So what should we do now?" March 7 asked.
"Enjoy the moment." Yinzhi opened her arms wide, her expression one of pure bliss, as if embracing the sun.
"Um... how about we handle this ourselves?" March 7th said with deadpan eyes.
"That makes sense, let's throw him out." Xing rubbed his hands together, eager to get started.
“You don’t understand. I need to focus on enjoying the crimson night of the universe to discover discordant tones. They have something in common, and once I find them, I will eliminate them,” Silver Branch said immediately.
"So, Sir Knight, have you noticed any discordant tones?" Himeko asked.
"We still need to observe," Yinzhi said.
"It's best not to delay too long, the situation could worsen at any time." Walter Young's expression was somewhat serious.
"By the way, how is Mr. Villette?" March 7th suddenly remembered that there was someone at the back of the train.
“Mr. Villette seems to be injured. Hoshino, could you go and check on him with Mitsuki?” Himeko asked.
"Okay." Xing nodded.
"Hey, aren't you going to ask for my opinion?" March 7th pouted.
"Didn't you bring this up, Little March?"
"Um... okay, you're right."
On March 7th, she gave up the struggle.
The two walked together toward the back of the carriage.
“That Mr. Villett works for the company. I wonder if he might be another ‘Scott’?” March 7th was a little worried.
On the Lop Nur, Scott really annoyed her for a long time.
"No." Xing shook her head.
"why?"
"Because there is only one lone wolf."
".......All right."
March 7th fell silent; sometimes she was troubled by not being able to keep up with the abstract nature of the stars.
Soon, they saw the spaceship that had rear-ended the train.
"My God, this looks like a car crash!" March 7 exclaimed.
The spaceship was dented in the front, with scattered parts floating around. The train, on the other hand, was not badly damaged. After all, it was a dump truck used by the train conductor to hit people, so it would be unreasonable for it not to be sturdy.
"This looks like a car accident scene, doesn't it?" Xing suddenly realized.
"Ah... I didn't react for a moment." March 7th scratched his head sheepishly.
"Let's get on the spaceship first."
The two quickly boarded the spaceship through the door of the last carriage.
The commotion instantly woke Villett, who was recuperating inside the spaceship.
"Who, who are you?" Villette looked at them nervously.
"Don't be afraid, people of our Star Train."
“Mr. Silver Branch told us you were here.”
Hearing what the two said, Villette immediately felt relieved.
"Sigh, now we're trapped here, and we don't even know if we'll ever get out," Vilit sighed.
"My job!"
“Don’t worry, if you can’t do it, there are plenty of people who can,” Xing comforted Vilit.
"Is this supposed to be comforting?" Vilit was speechless.
“Once you become the boss, you’ll realize that the company is the same whether you’re there or not,” Xing continued.
“Uh…” Vilit fell completely silent, his heart filled with despair.
“Oh dear, Mr. Villett, don’t listen to her, she’s just talking nonsense,” March 7th immediately interjected, trying to smooth things over.
At this point, Villette held out a hand, signaling March 7th to stop talking.
"I don't need any motivational injections."
“She’s right. Anyway, I’m just a lowly office worker who was given a ride by Yinzhi, an extra—I don’t have any thoughts about it, and I don’t want to get involved with anything.”
"Huh?" This time it was March 7th's turn to be confused.
Is this person really that unambitious?
"Sigh... I just wanted to wait for the traffic jam to end so I could go home and have dinner early..." Villette sighed.
Xing suddenly asked, "I heard you have submitted to the Pure Star Goddess?"
Villett was somewhat speechless: "Is Silver Bough what you're saying?"
“This guy… the truth is actually this: before he saved me, he said to me, ‘Please swear that ‘the pure beauty goddess Idrila is unparalleled in beauty.’” Vilit said somewhat discontentedly.
"I said, 'I can swear, but can you pull me out of this hole first?'—He said no! So tell me, is this person even worth dating?"
Villette was like a dam bursting, pouring out all the bitterness in her heart.
"There was no other way; my life was at stake, so I just echoed him: 'The pure, pure goddess Deirila's beauty is unparalleled!'"
He then corrected me: "It's Idrila, not De Idrila."
"Who would come up with such a tongue-twisting name? I'm just an ordinary office worker, how would I know anything about some 'pure and beautiful' star god?"
"Of course, in order to survive, I repeated it again—"
Villette declared from the bottom of her heart, "The pure and beautiful goddess Idrila is unparalleled in beauty!!"
"Can't you be a little more positive?" Xing continued to ask.
Villett frowned. "Hmph, do you think I wanted this? I've been defeated by reality, understand?"
"When I was a child, I thought I would have a life like the protagonist. I especially wanted to be a pilot, fly into space, and explore the universe in a magnificent spaceship."
"But my parents tricked me into thinking that if I wanted to achieve my dreams, I had to make a lot of money first, and if I wanted to make a lot of money, I had to work hard to get into a company."
"So, have you made a lot of money?" Xing asked a heart-wrenching question.
"Do I look like a rich person? Would someone go to work for Interstellar Peace Corporation, go on business trips, and then be forced to take an oath in a cave?"
"Um... it seems like Eve's mom was like that..." Xing thought back carefully.
“So Eve isn’t rich either.” March 7th spread her hands helplessly.
Villett continued talking to himself, "Later I gave up my fancy dream of becoming a pilot and settled down to working at the company. Maybe this is the life of an extra?"
"But seeing the silver branch, I did have a bit of a get-rich-quick idea—maybe this is the turning point in my life."
Villette had wicked intentions.
"Such a handsome and imposing knight would look amazing if he were styled up!"
"I gave him this suggestion, telling him that we could promote 'pure beauty' and make currency a part of that beauty, which would spread much faster and more efficiently than him promoting it himself. He was very impressed and kept expressing his amazement."
"I'm thinking of contacting the marketing department after I get off the bus, finding a suitable salesperson to become the company's product spokesperson! That way, I can transform into an agent! Do you think this kid is better suited to the idol route or the talent route?"
The thought of this made Vilit excitedly want to fly.
