"Ugh… my head's so dizzy."
Using the strength in her arm, Stelle slowly climbed out of the pit she had created.
The girl stood up, clutching her head and shaking it lightly a few times. Perhaps because of the sudden fall from the sky, her head felt woozy and unsteady.
"Stelle! Stelle! Are you okay?!"
Just as Stelle was dazedly rubbing her smooth forehead, an anxious shout suddenly came from behind her.
"Stelle! Are you alright? I just saw you fall from the sky!"
It was March 7th. Because Yun Fan had arranged to meet them in the Golden Hour, they hadn't split up to explore different dream worlds as in the original story—instead, they had all gathered here in the Golden Hour.
March 7th had arrived a little earlier. As soon as she returned to her room, she couldn't wait to lie down in the Dream Pool—without even taking off her cute little shoes, in fact.
Speaking of which… she wondered if the water in the Dream Pool was cleaned every day. If it was reused over and over… ugh, she didn't dare think about how filthy that water might be…
Ahem, getting off track.
Since March 7th had entered the dream world a bit earlier than Stelle, she had already wandered around the Golden Hour for a while. It was during her stroll that she witnessed Stelle plummeting from the sky.
Fortunately, this was the dream world. The "Family"—or more precisely, the Oak Family lineage, followers of Taiyi—had used the power of [Order] to promise the outside world that there would be no death within the dream.
Otherwise, a fall from that height would probably have turned someone into mincemeat.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy, but it's already getting better."
Stelle waved her hand to indicate she was okay. In the original story, Stelle had also shown some discomfort when first entering the dream world.
Back then, Robin had used the power of Harmony to attune her, allowing her to quickly adapt to the dream environment.
But now, since their Miss Robin had been "taken away" by Yun Fan, Stelle could only adapt on her own.
After a good while, the power within Stelle finally synchronized with the frequency of the dream world, and the dizziness in her head gradually faded.
"Phew, I'm okay now, March."
"Good to hear." March 7th let out a long breath and patted her ample chest. Stelle's earlier appearance had really scared her—she had thought something serious had happened.
Looking at the pink-haired girl who was worried about her, Stelle couldn't help but smile. Having someone care about you really felt wonderful.
"By the way, March, have you seen Sister Himeko?"
Stelle scanned the surroundings and frowned slightly. Amid the crowd of onlookers, she didn't spot Himeko's figure.
Could it be that Himeko hadn't entered the dream world yet?
Hearing Stelle's question, March 7th explained, "Himeko got here ages ago. She just messaged me—she's already met up with Yun Fan. I think you should have gotten the message too."
"They've already met up?" Stelle murmured to herself. She pulled out her phone from her pocket, unlocked it, and opened the chat.
Sure enough, Himeko had sent a message in the "Astral Express Family" group chat, announcing that she had successfully rendezvoused with Yun Fan.
"Then March, let's go find Yun Fan too."
"Uh, well…"
Hearing Stelle's words, the usually energetic and straightforward little March suddenly became shy and hesitant, stammering.
Seeing this, Stelle was puzzled. Why had March 7th suddenly turned so fidgety?
But when she saw the evasive and somewhat sorrowful expression on March 7th's face, and combined it with Himeko's recent message in the group, she seemed to understand something.
So Stelle tentatively asked, "Is it because… of Miss Robin?"
— — — —
Golden Hour, Dream Café…
"Hello, Miss Robin. I'm the Navigator of the Astral Express—Himeko."
"Hello, Miss Himeko. I'm Robin, an artist from the Iris Family lineage."
Robin greeted Himeko warmly. However, upon closer inspection, the young lady's face appeared somewhat tense.
It was hard to imagine what could possibly make this superstar with billions of fans show such an expression.
The reason was simple: it was purely because of her current relationship with Yun Fan. Since Yun Fan was currently identified as a Nameless, that meant the woman before her could be considered his "family."
Robin's slight nervousness was understandable.
"I never imagined that Miss Robin would end up with Mr. Yun Fan. When we heard the news on Interastral Peace broadcasts, we were shocked for quite a while."
Himeko said in a teasing tone, though the reality might not have been quite so lighthearted.
"I… Yun Fan and I…"
Hearing this, Robin's cheeks flushed slightly. She shyly glanced at Yun Fan, who responded with a gentle smile and a reassuring look.
Naturally, this scene also fell into Himeko's eyes. Our Navigator could only sigh helplessly in her heart.
She could see that the Robin before her genuinely had feelings for Yun Fan—not because she was coerced by the "Family."
As the Navigator of the Astral Express, Himeko actually preferred things to stay "in-house." As the saying goes, good fertilizer shouldn't flow to someone else's field.
Everyone on the Express knew that March 7th liked Yun Fan—even Pom-Pom was no exception.
However, judging from the current situation, if little March wanted to compete with this galaxy-famous diva for Yun Fan… the difficulty was simply too great.
And if March 7th ultimately lost this battle, that energetic, lively, and adorable girl from before might never come back.
Thinking of this, Himeko couldn't help but rub her temples. For some reason, she suddenly felt so tired. If Welt were here, she could discuss it with him.
But now Welt was drifting somewhere among the stars, and who knew how long it would be before he returned to the Astral Express.
Sigh, this is really giving me a headache…
