"If there are indeed some fledglings in this world that never fly in their entire lives."
"Should we let them return to the sky and then watch them fall to their deaths?"
"Or is building a paradise for them a better choice?"
"You're talking in your sleep, little bird, it's time to wake up."
A deep, weathered male voice suddenly pierced through the fog of consciousness, gradually pulling Sunday back to clarity.
He opened his eyes and looked around, slightly bewildered.
The old streets, the desolate scenery, and... that mysterious henchman, Gallagher!
"Tell me where the robin is, now!"
Even after experiencing death and waking up again, Sunday's first thought was still firmly on his sister.
As intelligent as he was, the moment he opened his eyes, he realized that the robin, like him, had not truly died.
"Ha, I knew your first reaction would be her."
Gallagher smiled knowingly.
"It's really easy to guess what a sister-complex is thinking."
"I'm not a sister-complex!"
On Sunday, he immediately denied it with sharp words.
"……elder brother?"
A familiar, slightly hesitant voice suddenly came from not far behind him, making Sunday freeze in shock.
"I was just fulfilling the responsibilities of an older brother."
He quickly added, as if unwilling to let the owner of the voice misunderstand—that he wasn't worried about her.
"Robin, are you alright..."
On Sunday, he turned around hastily, but before he could finish his words of concern, his movements suddenly froze on the spot.
He saw that his lovely sister, the robin, was being held in the hand of a grinning gray creature!
Noticing her brother's gaze, the robin belatedly realized what was happening and hastily withdrew her hand, a blush creeping across her pretty face.
In an instant, Sunday's gentle smile froze.
Within 0.1 seconds, the smile vanished, replaced by a blank expression and a chilling aura.
PS:
Volume 1: Chapter 615 Old Deng, is it safe for me to park my ghost fire downstairs at your house?
"Brother? What are you doing here?"
Miss Robin, with her three-layered nesting doll-like demeanor, smoothly portrays the surprise and astonishment one should feel upon unexpectedly encountering her brother at Liumeng Reef.
"..."
Sunday's gaze first fell heavily on the spot where Qiong and Robin's hands had been clasped together, then silently swept over Qiong and Firefly's other hand, which was still intertwined, and remained silent for a moment.
Two seconds later, he regained his usual elegant and proper demeanor.
"This is all thanks to the watchmaker's lackey."
With a polite tone and choice of words, Sunday glanced indifferently at Gallagher beside him.
"Heh, you can tell? You have good eyes. No wonder you dare to go against the Dream Master and the four major families."
Gallagher chuckled lightly, unconcerned.
He turned to look at Qiong and Liuying, his tone carrying a hint of familiar teasing.
"It's getting lively here."
"This must be Mr. Qiong, the pioneer of the Star Train. I've heard so much about you."
"How long have you admired me?"
Qiong smiled and asked a question that defied common sense.
"...Ha~"
Upon hearing this, Gallagher's laughter took on a more genuine tone of amusement.
This Qiong is just as interesting as that girl named Xing. Are they siblings? Or maybe they're just brothers and sisters?
"I guess you have something to ask me."
Gallagher walked to the vending machine by the roadside and bought a few bottles of Dream Reef Special Mixed Soda, intending to serve them as tea.
"I guessed you had something to tell us."
Qiong took the Suleda and glanced at the weathered man with a look of dejection and melancholy between his brows.
"In this situation, wouldn't it be more appropriate to offer a cigarette?"
"Sorry, I'm only thirteen years old, I'm not an adult yet, I can't smoke."
Gallagher tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful of Sulphur, the icy juice running down his messy stubble, making him look even more disheveled and unkempt.
Firefly: "?"
Robin: "??"
Everyone was shocked on Sunday.
This guy is thirteen years old?!
"Then it seems you and I are alike, looking older than our age."
Upon hearing this, Qiong scrutinized Galakh for a moment with a serious expression, and replied solemnly:
"I am three years old this year."
Everyone's gazes subtly and uniformly focused on Qiong.
"?"
Gallagher was taken aback.
Are you also a fictional historian?
Sunday and the robin looked strange. The firefly tilted its head and opened its mouth as if to say something, but then its eyes widened and narrowed in surprise.
and many more!
The star is a special artificial entity created to contain the star's core. If we strictly consider only the duration of its physical existence... it is indeed only a little over three years.
It was even later than when she joined the Star Core Hunters.
In a sense, Liu Ying literally grew up watching the stars (the dome), and they are childhood sweethearts in the truest sense.
Liu Ying had never thought about these details carefully before, but now that she was thinking about them, it suddenly felt strange.
Does what I did... count as assaulting a minor?
No, I don't think so?
Xingqiong's mind and experience are clearly already very mature!
Miss Firefly felt a sudden pang of guilt for no reason, and her eyes began to dart from side to side involuntarily, as if the FBI would rush out from the streets and alleys at any moment, handcuff her on charges of molesting a minor, and put her on a spaceship with sirens blaring.
"Haha, it's definitely time to be open and honest."
Gallagher smiled, breaking the slightly eerie silence and steer the conversation back on track.
He turned around and gestured for everyone to follow.
"Come with me. The others from the Starry Sky Train are being entertained by Mike. The mystery should be revealed when all those involved are gathered together, shouldn't it?"
"can."
Liu Ying forcefully shifted her attention away from the age issue and back to the main topic, taking the lead in catching up with Gallagher.
"We all need you to give a reasonable explanation."
"Please feel free to exchange ideas first."
On Sunday, he shook his head, his demeanor regaining the composure and aloofness befitting the representative of the Oak family.
"The robin and I need some private space to talk about family matters..."
He had been living in constant anxiety for some time, deeply worried about his sister's safety.
Now that they have finally reunited, he must immediately check on her to make sure she is safe and sound, and that she has not suffered any misfortune or injustice.
"No problem, Your Excellency, Head of the Oak Family."
Gallagher shrugged.
The robin stood gracefully and quietly in place, its head slightly bowed, appearing to completely obey its elder brother's wishes.
But she clearly can't really be alone with Sunday.
On the Secondary Silverwing side, they encountered robins who had come to investigate the anomalies at Dream Reef and the large-scale, bizarre flight of the Pantene.
She is subtly trying to learn about Robin's experiences at Liumeng Reef in order to fill in the details of the character Firework Robin played by Qiong.
It will take some time to gather more detailed information.
We need to buy some time here.
therefore,
Just as Qiong turned around, seemingly about to leave with Gallagher.
He deliberately and carelessly let something slip out of his pocket—a light purple pair of robin's underwear embroidered with delicate musical notes.
"Mr. Qiong, you dropped something... Huh?!?!"
With a gentle and refined demeanor, Sunday was just the time to offer a soft reminder.
However, when his gaze fell on that thin piece of fabric, his words and smile suddenly froze.
At first glance, it looks somewhat familiar...
Cough, don't get me wrong, Sunday is definitely not the kind of perverted siscon who would pay attention to his sister's underwear style.
He simply felt that the style and taste of the fabric were very similar to the clothes that robins usually preferred.
At second glance, it looked more and more familiar...
It felt familiar yet strange.
After all, Qiong is supposed to be a gentleman... maybe not that gentlemanly, but carrying women's underwear around is a bit perverted, isn't it?
"Oh, thanks for reminding me."
Qiong quickly bent down and hurriedly picked up the underwear at her feet, her movements revealing an awkward attempt to cover up her unease.
I frowned on Sunday.
Something's not right, nine out of ten things are not right!
Plain underwear cannot identify its owner, but perhaps Robin and Himeko's panties have been turned into treasure chest panties, with some of their owner's aura and power remaining on them.
On Sunday, I sensed the harmonious power belonging to my sister on that triangular piece of fabric.
Most importantly.
When Sunday glanced at her younger sister, she was startled to see a series of extremely unnatural changes in the robin's expression.
She was first startled by Qiong's underwear falling out, her expression like that of a middle school student whose hidden love letter had accidentally fallen out in front of their parents.
Then, she cautiously cast a nervous glance at him.
The moment their eyes met, she abruptly looked away as if startled, then lowered her head, her cheeks flushed like rosy clouds, her shy and timid appearance resembling a newly blossoming lotus.
Sunday knows her younger sister too well.
As a world-renowned superstar, it would be impossible for her to show such girlish shyness in ordinary situations.
The power of harmony in the underwear, Sora's suspicious panic, the younger sister's unusual shyness...
In an instant, all the clues connected in his mind into a clear line, making Sunday feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
