10 9 301 AniZhuanchangEnd A few days had passed since you returned from the Venus Splash Park. Though your wounds had not fully healed, at least HQ had conveniently forgotten about your existence.
11 10 201 1 1031001 1
12 11 301 1 Liv Judging from the test just now, you'll fully recover in a week. 1
13 12 302 Good. 13
14 13 301 Liv By the way... 1
15 14 301 Liv handed over a fragrant, delicate cardboard box.
16 15 301 Liv It's a gift from Celica. She said she'd come to visit you after finishing another hundred million tasks. 1
17 16 301 Picturing Celica with a cake box in one hand and a stack of papers in another on unsteady steps, you could not help but give a wry smile.
18 17 302 I see. Please thank her for me. 18 I'll thank her once I've recovered. 18
19 18 301 Liv Of course. 1
20 19 301 Liv But... sugar and carbs are no good for recovery... 1
21 20 301 Liv Right now, it's still important to save your appetite for more proteins so that you'll recover sooner. 1
22 21 302 Alright. 22
23 22 301 Soon as you set the cake box aside, your communication device rang.
24 23 301 Liv I'll get going then. I still have some work to do. 1
25 24 301 You nodded to Liv, and when you looked back at the screen, you found a surprising figure.
28 27 301 1 Changyu Hey, it's been a while, 【kuroname】. How have you been? 1
29 28 302 Pretty good. 29
30 29 301 Changyu I heard you were beaten up in that Venus Splash Park. But now you're "pretty good"? Impressive. 1
31 30 201 1 500145 1
32 31 301 1 Pulao 【kuroname】, how about coming to the Nighter for vacation? It's almost the Double Seventh Festival. 1
33 32 302 Why are you two together? 33
34 33 201 1 500124 1
35 34 301 1 Changyu Oh, curious? 1
36 35 201 1 500127
37 36 301 1 Sophia We've made a pact with the Nighter. So we're staying together for now. 1
38 37 301 Sophia It's the first time we've worked together on a festival, so we'd like you to come and experience it. 1
39 38 302 I still haven't gotten over that last "vacation." 39
40 39 201 1 500145 1
41 40 301 1 Pulao Relax, it's definitely a vacation this time. 1
42 41 201 1 500127
43 42 301 1 Sophia That's right. It's a business partnership between Akdilek and the Nighter. 1
44 43 201 1 500145 1
45 44 301 1 Pulao We've been very busy since losing our leader. So they've taken over the Nighter for the time being. 1
46 45 302 By the way, what is the Double Seventh Festival? 46
47 46 201 1 500124 1
48 47 301 1 Changyu In short, it's a traditional festival where people gather to enjoy all kinds of entertainment, while folks like us do some business and sell some stuff... 1
49 48 201 1 500127
50 49 301 1 Sophia Here is some information. 1
51 50 301 Sophia gave you a brief overview of the planned events on the Nighter.
52 51 201 1 500124 1
53 52 301 1 Changyu How does that sound? Just think about it. 1
54 53 302 Why me? 3330
55 3330 201 1 500145 1
56 54 301 1 Pulao You've been good to us. Think of it as our token of appreciation. 1
57 55 302 I need to discuss it with the others. 57 Nah, I'll pass. 58
58 57 60 301 Pulao Alright then. I look forward to hearing from you. Be sure to come! 1
59 58 204 1 5
60 59 301 Pulao You'll regret it! Mark my words! 1
80 77 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Failing to find a reason to refuse, you have boarded the Nighter with a hint of doubt and a few unhealed wounds.
81 78 201 1 500124 1
82 79 301 1 Changyu Hey, it's been a while! 1
83 80 203 1 0.25 -400
84 81 201 2 500127 400
85 82 301 Sophia Hello. 2
86 83 201 2 500145 1 400
87 84 301 Pulao Great! Now that you're here, you can relax and enjoy your vacation! 2
88 85 201 2 1031001 1 400
89 86 301 Liv May I ask... What do we do on vacation in Kowloong? 2
90 87 201 2 500145 400
91 88 301 Pulao Feel free to check the sightseeing guide for details—oh, wait, it doesn't seem to be ready yet... 2
92 89 201 2 500026 400
93 90 301 1 Lee You wanted to expand your business and tourism, and your guide is not even ready? 2
94 91 301 Changyu Look, it hasn't been long since we started working together. And there are so many things waiting to be done! 1
95 92 201 2 500127 400
96 93 301 1 Sophia If I'm not mistaken, we're all supposed to submit a design. You're the only one who hasn't handed it in yet, Changyu. 2
97 94 301 Changyu Yeah, yeah. I'm on it. 1
98 95 201 2 500145 1 400
99 96 301 1 Pulao Never mind, I'll be the tour guide for you this time. It's an exclusive service I provide for Gray Raven! 2
100 97 301 Changyu Wonderful. Pulao will show you around the night market on the deck. 1
101 98 301 Changyu There are a lot of festival crafts over there exquisitely made with care. 【kuroname】, how about bringing some souvenirs back with you? 1
102 99 302 Hold your horses, Mr. Salesman. 100
103 100 301 Pulao That's fine! You don't have to buy anything. 2
104 101 301 Changyu You're not going to be an adequate merchant if that's your sales pitch! 1
105 5004 204 2
106 102 301 Pulao Those crafts are made for the Double Seventh Festival. As our first event on the Nighter, it's more important to recreate and pass on the history recorded by Kowloong! 2
107 103 301 Pulao Akdilek might have an established business model, but Kowloong does things our way. We don't do hard sells. 2
108 108 301 Changyu Fine, fine... 1
109 109 301 Changyu Right, 【kuroname】, you can't buy things without grubs. Would you like to exchange some with me? 1
110 110 302 Alright. 111 No thanks. 112
111 111 5005 301 Changyu Good. Remember to enjoy your stroll around the night market and help promote it when you return. We can always use more guests here! 1
112 112 301 Changyu Come on, don't say no to me! I'll give you a 10% off in exchange, how about that? 1
113 113 301 Pulao 【kuroname】 is a guest of mine, so I should offer you this! 2
114 114 301 Pulao hands you a bag of grubs without any explanation.
115 115 301 Changyu Fine. Remember to enjoy your stroll around the night market and help promote it when you return. We can always use more guests here! 1
116 5005 204 2 1
117 116 301 Pulao Let's get going. I'll show you what the Double Seventh Festival is like in Kowloong! 2
118 117 201 1 500166 -400
119 118 301 1 Lucia The Double Seventh Festival? 1
120 119 301 Pulao Exactly. It's said to be a festival that celebrates a love story. 2
121 120 301 Lucia What kind of love story... would have people create a festival for it? 1
122 121 301 Pulao There are a lot of versions of it. Mostly it's about a fairy from the heavens who fell in love with a mortal. 2
123 122 201 1 1031001 6 -400
124 123 301 1 Liv ...Fairy? 1
125 124 301 Pulao Yeah, according to the myths, all fairies come from the skies. 2
126 3100 204 1 1
127 125 301 Liv By the skies, do you mean Babylonia? 1
128 126 301 Pulao Uhm... I guess? Maybe? 2
129 127 201 1 500166 -400
130 128 301 1 Lucia What happened next? Did they end up together? 1
131 129 301 Pulao No. Because of their different status, they were separated by their king and sent to the two ends of the starry sea, never able to see each other again. 2
132 130 301 Lucia Just because of that? 1
133 131 301 Pulao They say there are other reasons in different versions of the story, but there aren't that many records left on the Nighter, so that's all I can tell you. 2
134 132 301 Pulao However, the story does not end here. After they were separated, the cries of the two moved the king. So they were allowed to meet once every year on July 7th on a "magpie bridge" built by magpies. 2
135 133 201 1 1031001 6 -400
136 134 301 1 Liv Can magpies really build bridges? 1
137 135 301 Pulao Of course they can—in stories! Legend has it that they'd work so hard they go bald while building it. 2
138 136 301 Liv I hope they didn't get hurt... 1
139 137 201 1 500026 10 -400
140 138 301 1 Lee These are just fantasies humans made up while looking up at the sky in ancient times. How could magpies build bridges? 1
141 139 301 Pulao That's just what I know from the files on the ship! I'll tell you how magpies build bridges when I find more records in Kowloong. 2
142 141 204 1 4
143 140 301 Lee So you're holding an event in the name of this festival when you don't fully know its origin and meaning? 1
144 142 301 Pulao In the records of the Golden Age, the Double Seventh Festival was quite popular among people in Kowloong. There were a lot of related commercial and entertainment events. 2
145 143 301 Pulao I thought it would be nice for this place to feel lively again. It's a festival, after all. 2
146 144 301 Pulao Anyway, you'll know what it's all about after I show you around! 2
147 145 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Pulao Just come with me! 2
