The video continued.
After watching Aventurine and Sunday depart, Steluna returned to rejoin the others.
A Living Celebrity Right Before Their Eyes
"Um… s-so… may I ask…"
March 7th suddenly leaned forward, her eyes wide with dawning realization.
"Y-You're not just anyone, are you? You're that superstar from Epsilon!"
"The one who sang 'Let Every Heart Grieve No More'… that was you, right?!"
Robin smiled softly.
"I didn't expect someone as adorable as you to be my fan."
March gasped.
"So it really is you — Lady Robin herself?! I can't believe I'm meeting you in person!"
Seeing her idol up close, March was practically vibrating with excitement.
"The pleasure is mine," Robin replied warmly. "To meet you all like this is truly an honor."
Identity Revealed
At that moment, Welt spoke up.
"So you and that gentleman earlier — are you both members of the Family here in Penacony?"
Robin nodded gently.
"To be honest, I'm much like you — merely a guest this time. Though Penacony is my homeland, I left long ago. I've been invited back to perform at this year's Harmonic Grand Festival."
She then added, her tone sincere:
"Sunday is my elder brother — one of Penacony's decision-makers and the chief host of this festival. He heard you ran into trouble, so he brought me along to help."
She bowed lightly.
"My apologies for our tardiness. I'm sorry your arrival was made unpleasant."
Sunday's Assurance
Sunday soon returned, standing beside her.
"Rest assured. I've instructed Miss Ellie to resolve the system issue immediately and upgrade your rooms as compensation. Suitable accommodations will be arranged shortly."
He continued,
"Mr. Aventurine has already checked in due to an appointment with the Oak Family. On his behalf, I also extend my apologies. We very much look forward to working with the Astral Express crew in the future."
Welt gave a small nod.
"We're grateful for your mediation. But isn't it improper to give us special treatment alone? There must be many invited factions."
Sunday responded calmly,
"The Family will handle the necessary communications. As Penacony's caretakers, it is only right we resolve your concerns."
With business concluded, he stepped back.
"Please enjoy your stay. If you require anything in Penacony, the Family is at your service."
Robin followed with a gentle smile.
"May your dreams here be beautiful ones."
And so, hand in hand, the siblings departed.
Finally, Some Peace
March exhaled deeply.
"That really was a rollercoaster… But since Sunday promised, we can finally check in properly, right?"
Steluna tilted her head.
"Do all people in the Family have such weird names?"
"Probably just aliases…" March muttered uncertainly.
Himeko nodded in agreement.
"Likely a local tradition."
With that, they headed to the front desk where Ellie apologized repeatedly and handed over several "passports" — elegantly designed room cards with built-in smart functions.
"These also serve as commemorative keepsakes," she explained. "One-of-a-kind."
She pointed them toward a distant elevator.
Into the Dream City
"Penacony's dream world… A city of dazzling gold," March murmured as she bounced along.
"I wonder what it'll really look like~"
They entered the elevator and ascended.
Himeko led the way upon stepping out.
"This corridor will take us to the guest area."
Welt glanced around, slightly stunned.
"This place is absurdly large…"
After a long walk, they finally reached the lounge shared by the guest rooms.
Real-Time Reactions in the Chat
March's voice echoed from the livestream:
"Waaah! A real-life Robin!"
"So she's actually in Penacony too?"
"I wonder if she'll sign an autograph if we meet again!"
Robin replied gracefully:
"Thank you for your love, Miss March. Just come find me when you arrive — I'll personally guide the Astral Express crew."
Himeko quickly responded with thanks.
Is She Really That Famous?
Lumine asked hesitantly,
"From the video, Miss Robin seems like a huge celebrity?"
Asta nodded.
"She is. Robin is a universally beloved superstar. Her voice is said to be the finest in the galaxy."
Paimon gasped.
"So amazing!! Paimon really wants to hear her sing!"
Even Klee chimed in:
"Klee wants to hear Robin姐姐 sing too!"
The Question That Everyone Was Thinking
Beidou scratched her cheek awkwardly.
"Uh… Miss Robin? I have a question… but I don't wanna offend you."
Robin smiled serenely.
"Go ahead, Captain Beidou. I won't mind."
Beidou hesitated, then blurted:
"Why do you have little wings beside your head?"
"And that halo… is it an accessory?"
On the Alcor
Beidou swirled her drink.
"Kazuha, those wings… they're real, aren't they?"
"And the ring just floats there! Pretty fascinating."
Kazuha stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Perhaps it's a cultural ornament of the Family?"
Firefly's Chaos Contribution
Sparkle suddenly chimed in:
"Hehehe~ Why does she have wings on her head?"
"Because she's a ✨Chicken Wing Girl✨!"
"And her brother? The legendary ✨Chicken Wing Boy✨!"
The chat exploded.
March: "That's a bit much, Sparkle…"
Paimon: "She's so pretty! Why would you say that?!"
Itto: "But you called me Flying Turnip Man and that was fine?!"
Kuki Shinobu: "Boss… please stop."
Robin's Answer
Before things escalated further, Robin raised a hand kindly.
"It's alright, everyone. I know Miss Sparkle didn't mean harm."
She then addressed Beidou properly.
"My brother and I are members of the Halo Folk. The halo and feathered ears are traits we are born with."
Beidou blinked.
"So they're natural…"
"Thank you for explaining."
Back on the Alcor, she laughed in wonder.
"Did you hear that? They're real!"
Kazuha smiled softly.
"The universe truly holds many forms beyond our own."
