Did the main characters enter the wrong game in their second playthrough?

In the devastated world, Ying gazed at Kiana's "gift," which was noticeably more substantial than the other two, her eyes filled with...

Yes, that was a complex look in his eyes.

Using a pie chart to describe it is a bit of an oversimplification, but if we were to describe it accurately...

That is, on top of the awkwardness, there is nothing but schadenfreude!

Hmm... no, that's not right, it should be sympathy!

but……

The thought of Kiana opening the gift with great anticipation only to find a thick layer of homework hidden underneath made her a little impatient!

"Bye!"

At this moment, everyone is saying goodbye to Ling.

Ling, carrying three boxes of gifts on her back, waved cutely to everyone before initiating the return process.

This time, the return journey did not involve falling into boundless darkness and experiencing suffocating silence, as it had before.

In the instant of the journey, Ling felt as if she had experienced a bizarre kaleidoscope, passing through a spacetime tunnel of different colors and symmetry, and finally... slowly opened her eyes on the sofa.

"Ling? You're back?"

Zhe's worried eyes met Ling's gaze, and then the next one.

Zhe looked at his younger sister in his arms with a puzzled expression, but still subconsciously patted her back and whispered:

"Don't worry, you're home now, everything's alright, I'm here!"

"Um……"

Ling leaned on Zhe's shoulder and let out a soft hum.

This time travel experience really terrified her; she never wanted to experience that feeling again in her life...

"Yeah, yeah!"

On the other side, Ies was carrying three packages on his back, looking at the two people embracing tightly in front of him with a puzzled expression.

For some reason, it always feels a little cold in its bottom, as if someone has kicked it.

"You should rest for a bit. I'll deliver the gift later."

Noticing his sister's unusual behavior, Zhe whispered to her considerately, "It's obvious that she must have experienced something bad during her time travel, otherwise she wouldn't be like this now."

"Okay... but, bro, be careful!"

Ling placed her hands on Zhe's shoulders, her eyes full of seriousness.

"Well, don't worry."

Zhe nodded, and then, under Ling's gaze, slowly lowered his consciousness...

……

Star Dome Railway World.

At this moment, Kiana was sitting in the train carriage, her face looking somewhat bitter.

Opposite her was Walter, who had somehow returned to being a teacher.

At this moment, Welt is telling Kiana about some of the "situation" of this world, about the Star Gods and destiny, and about the various forces.

Walter explained it very thoroughly, and also vividly described the conflicts between some forces and the reasons for them.

The meticulous, serious, and humorous teaching style was very beneficial to Danheng and Pam, who came to observe.

but……

This doesn't seem to be a good thing for Kiana and March 7.

Although... Kiana has been reborn; although... she has experienced many things...

But as for attending classes... let's just forget about it...

At this moment, Kiana felt as if she had returned to her days when she was studying at St. Freya Academy, but thankfully... she didn't have to do homework or anything like that.

"Waaah... When will this end? I really want to eat Mei's little cakes!"

Kiana desperately hoped that small figure would appear on the train. "Rin! Where are you! Please come and save me!"

Just as Kiana was eagerly anticipating her "delivery," the hopeful message finally arrived in the chat group.

Zhe: "@Kiana, Ling went to rest. I'm here to help deliver the things. I've teleported to the door of your train. This... should be your train, right?"

Zhe: "image.jpg"

Kiana: "!"

Kiana: "Yes! This is the Star Train! I'll go open the door right now!"

As if she had found a savior, Kiana hurriedly raised her hand under Welt's glasses, which reflected a white light. After explaining the situation, she ran lightly to the train door and opened it...

"Ugh?"

Looking at the empty platform outside the train door, Kiana tilted her head in confusion.

"under……"

Zhe's voice, sounding somewhat helpless, came from below Kiana.

"Ah! Oh oh oh..."

Upon hearing this, Kiana quickly lowered her head, looked at "Ies" holding the package, clasped her hands together in embarrassment, and smiled apologetically.

"Sorry sorry..."

"It's alright, this happens all the time."

He handed the heavy package to Kiana, shook his head, and Ies's long ears twitched along with it.

"Hehehe...would you like to come in and have a seat? I've prepared lots of things for you!"

Kiana warmly welcomed Zhe. During her time at the space station, she had found many unwanted boxes, opened them, and earned a lot of "credits." With that money, she bought many gifts for everyone!

"Next time, I have another package to deliver to Xing. If it's late, Ling will probably worry."

Zhe shook his ears, indicating that he didn't need to for the time being.

"Alright, have a safe trip!"

"Ok!"

Watching Tetsuya disappear before her eyes, Kiana was no longer the listless girl she had been before, who had been so distracted by class.

She weighed the obviously heavy package in her hand, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

As expected... Mei is still the best to her!

Chapter Twenty-Two: Cake and coffee go perfectly together!

Almost a second before she excitedly opened the package, Kiana still had a touching and radiant smile on her face.

Upon opening the package and seeing the thick layer of books beneath the chocolate cake… Kiana's smile instantly froze on her face, and her previously joyful eyes returned to calm…

what……

It was a deathly silence.

Like the azure sea without a single wave, the scenery is pleasant, but filled with a silent, deathly stillness...

Or perhaps... beneath that deathly silence, the greatest explosion in history has already erupted.

"boom!!"

At this moment! Gazing at that bundle of homework that was all too familiar, Kiana's pupils, which had been as dull as still water, instantly transformed into a tremor as if Kevin had unleashed his Skyfire to part the Earth in the middle!

What...what...what is this?!

"Wow! It's a mini cake! It seems that the older sister named Mei is really good to Kiana!"

Seeing the fragrant and delicate little cake in Kiana's hand, March's eyes lit up instantly!

"Um... um... haha... Mei is really good to me, come on, everyone come and try Mei's cooking!"

Upon hearing this, Kiana quickly suppressed the shock in her eyes, silently stored the book under the small cake into her imaginary space, and then awkwardly smiled as if nothing had happened, quickly distributing the delicious small cake to everyone, even Pam got one!

"Wow! These little cakes are so delicious! Train conductor! We want to eat them again tomorrow, how about we have them for afternoon tea?"

Taking a light bite of the fragrant and soft little cake, March's eyes lit up with a golden light as she savored the silky smoothness and sweetness between her lips and teeth. Then, she looked expectantly at Pam, who was also carefully enjoying the little cake.

"Hmm~ The taste is indeed quite good! It's on par with my skills as the train conductor! It seems that this girl named Mei's expertise in desserts is in no way inferior to mine! As for the suggestion from March 7th passenger..."

Pam touched her chin with her round little hand, as if she was deep in thought. After some consideration, she nodded in March 7’s expectant eyes.

"Since the passengers on March 7th are so earnest, then this train conductor will reluctantly agree!"

"Great! Thank you, conductor!"

March 7th cheered, and Himeko, seeing this, also showed a faint smile on her face.

Sitting by the train window, I gently savored the delicate little cake with a fork, and then took a sip of the "rich and aromatic coffee" on the table.

Hmm~ It's really good!

Compared to the stunning appearances of the others, Danheng and Walter seemed rather silent.

After eating the small cake, Danheng simply nodded without offering any further comment.

And Walter...

"Teacher Yang? Teacher Yang?? Teacher Walter!!"

Kiana looked at Welt, who had taken a bite of cake and then sat silently in place, and called out in confusion. When he did not respond, she moved closer to him and called out loudly.

"Hmm? Hmm... Indeed... not bad."

At this moment, Walter...

It seems like he was having a revolving lantern effect from eating so many small cakes?

Perhaps, after leaving Earth, he never tasted anything from his homeland again...

This little cake seemed to have more meaning for him.

That's the taste of home...
