Chapter 96 Give Me Back My Emotion
Looking at the two indignant people.
Himeko shook her head helplessly. "That's just the company's usual practice."
"However, on the other hand—their roundabout approach precisely demonstrates how deeply the company fears Lu Li."
"Fear means not daring to act rashly, or to directly confront Lu Li and the Starry Sky Train."
"From this perspective, it can be considered a good thing."
March 7th scratched his head.
"So they gave up on taking Lu Li away, and also gave up interfering with Yalilo-VI, only 'demanding' that Lu Li not become their enemy."
"And Lu Li like this..." March 7th glanced at Lu Li and nodded, "Hmm, he probably won't actively seek trouble with them."
"So this is actually a perfect ending?"
Lu Li: "..."
No, what do you mean by "like this"?
What did I look like?!
Himeko nodded upon hearing this, "If nothing unexpected happens, the company will continue to monitor Lu Li's whereabouts, but there shouldn't be any major moves."
"if only--"
Himeko glanced at Lu Li as she spoke, "As long as someone doesn't cause any more major trouble."
Lu Li: "..."
Can he say he didn't want to either?
To know.
From the moment the system appeared until now, the only thing he did was... well, slightly alter the plot of the Black Tower space station and Belloborg.
But apart from those two things, he was completely passive in everything, whether it was the sky or anything else!
If he could, he'd want to be a salted fish for the rest of his life!
As it has been, so far.
First, he gained a girlfriend from a past life whom he had no memory of.
Then the logistics positions, where people could slack off, were removed.
Then he was targeted by a troublemaker.
Two perverts came to my door again, pressuring me to place an order...
The more Lu Li thought about it, the more she felt like crying.
Lu Li sighed, his shoulders slumped, and he walked toward his room.
March 7th paused, then asked, "Lu Li, what's wrong?"
Lu Li: "...I feel like I'm almost out of health, I need to go back to the fountain to heal."
March 7th: "?"
……
Back in the room.
Lu Li collapsed onto the bed and pulled the blanket over her head.
He just wants some peace and quiet right now.
But for some reason, the words of the gold dust kept echoing in his mind.
Do you think you can escape?
"Hold!"
Lu Li suddenly sat up in bed and slammed his fist on the pillow.
He knew he couldn't escape.
After all, when choosing to stand in front of Xing and March 7th on the space station to change the plot... no.
Perhaps it all started from the moment I accepted Himeko's invitation and boarded the Star Train.
He was already no longer in control of his own destiny.
But he didn't want to be a puppet controlled by fate, passively moving forward in an unknown direction.
This feeling made him feel incredibly irritable and frustrated.
He hated this feeling, hated the feeling of not being able to control his own life.
He clearly just wanted to be a salted fish, so why is it so difficult?
"Knock knock knock".
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Lu Li asked irritably.
"It's me, March 7th." March 7th's lively voice came from outside the door. "Lu Li, are you asleep?"
"Xing and I brought you some local specialties that Seele and Bronya gave us, plus some delicious food!"
Lu Li: "..."
Local specialty, and it tastes good... Could it be dried lizard?
Lu Li curled up again under the covers. "I have no appetite, I'm not eating..."
"No way! These are rabbit cookies that I specially stole from Pam... I mean, borrowed from her. They're so delicious!"
"Oh, right, Xing also brought back some crunchy roasted lizard jerky from Yalilo-VI. Would you like to try some?"
Lu Li: "..."
If he was just a little reluctant before, now he wants to lock the door completely.
"Open the door, Lu Li!" March 7th urged incessantly from outside the door. "If you don't open the door soon, we'll just come in ourselves!"
Lu Li sighed helplessly and could only get out of bed to open the door for the two little devils.
As soon as the door opened, March 7th and Xing squeezed in from the left and right.
March 7th is holding a plate of fragrant rabbit cookies.
Xing was holding a large, open box.
The box contained all sorts of things, and Lu Li could even see... well, a piece of black tail sticking out of the packaging.
"Ta-da!" March 7th presented the cookies to Lu Li like a precious treasure. "How are they? Sounds good, right?"
Looking at the plate of cookies in March 7's hand, and then at the tail section in the star box.
Lu Li: "..."
"Take it away, take it away." Lu Li returned to the quilt as a pupa, weakly saying, "I really don't want to eat anything right now."
"What's wrong?"
March 7th placed the cookies on the table, leaned closer, and asked with concern, "You don't seem to be in a good mood."
"Are you still bothered by what happened with those two guys at the company?"
"Didn't Sister Himeko say everything was fine?"
"I'm fine, just a little tired and want to rest." Lu Li shook his head, giving him the "dismissal."
"How could nothing be wrong?"
But March 7th clearly didn't understand Lu Li's "subtle" meaning, and plopped down on his bed and patted the blankets.
"Come on, tell your sister, what happened?"
Lu Li: "..."
What should he do if all he wants to do right now is throw this guy who calls himself "older sister" out?
"That's right, Lu Li."
Xing also came over and put the box on the bed. "They say gifts make people happy. These are local specialties that Seele and Bronya gave us before they left."
"Since you didn't go down there yourself, consider these gifts for you, and let you experience the local customs and culture of Belleburg."
Looking at the lizard carcass so close by, emitting a burnt smell.
Lu Li: "..."
"I beg you, please let me go." Lu Li was on the verge of tears.
Seeing Lu Li's utterly hopeless expression, March 7th and Xing exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore." March 7th put away her joking expression and said seriously.
"Lu Li, we know you must be feeling very upset right now."
"But you need to know that you are not fighting alone; everyone on the train is supporting you."
March 7th waved his little fist, his face full of righteous indignation.
"Whether it's the Interstellar Peace Corporation or that Gold Sand Company, if they dare to do anything to you, we'll be the first to object!"
"That's right." Hoshino nodded and put the roasted lizard out of the box. "If anyone dares to bully you, we'll blow their head off."
Listening to their words, which were somewhat childish but incredibly sincere.
Lu Li's initially agitated state of mind gradually calmed down for some reason.
Yes, it's different from before.
Here, he has long since ceased to be alone.
Everyone on the train travels and adventures together.
He doesn't know when it started, but he has come to regard these people as his family.
And they also treated him like family.
This feeling... seems pretty good?
"Thank you," Lu Li said sincerely, looking at the two of them.
"What are you thanking me for? We're comrades." March 7 waved his hand casually.
Xing nodded.
"Alright, stop looking so gloomy."
March 7th jumped out of bed, pulled Lu Li out of the covers, grabbed his hand, and walked outside.
"Come on, let's go find Sister Himeko and have her make you a special coffee. I guarantee you'll forget all your troubles after you drink it!"
Lu Li: "...?"
He took back what he had just said.
Also, give me back the emotion I felt.
