Star Dome Railway: My pioneers were abducted

"Wow! This is Crane View! It's really impressive..." Paimon exclaimed as he looked at the island covered with white mist. ⊙_⊙

And complained, "...I'm not happy at all! Why is the fog so heavy?"

Ying also looked at the heavy fog in front of her unexpectedly. Although she had known about the fog in Heguan in advance from Sumida, Akai, and Yexiao, and had certain psychological expectations, she did not expect that she would see it when she actually saw it. This is such a scene.

"A'Kao, do you know the whereabouts of that... that... oh, that wooden reed flute?" Paimon touched his head after getting off the boat and decided to ask A'Kao, the boring gourd.

"If you knew, you wouldn't need to entrust us with it, right?" Ying had no expectations for this question.

"It's really troublesome. I have to do everything myself." Paimon also realized that the question he asked was a bit wrong, so he crossed his arms and complained while hiding his embarrassment.

"But, do you have any suggestions?" Ying originally thought that Ah Fu, who had brought people here more than once, would have some special information, but Ah Fu didn't talk much along the way, which made her a little suspicious at first. Judged.

"It's best to go in through the gate over there, otherwise, it's easy to get lost in the fog...?" Ah Fu's somewhat dull voice echoed in the air, but it was filled with doubts at the end.

Because in the direction he pointed, two figures appeared in their mist.

"So you have to go in through that gate. I blame you for leading the way at midnight." Dream Consciousness, who also heard what Ah Fu said, playfully pushed the blame for wandering around in the fog from time to time on Ye Xiao.

"Hey, it's not a big problem. We're not lost!" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

"Ah, it's Ye Xiao and the others!" Paimeng waved to Meng Shi excitedly, "Shi Bao, we are here!"

"I haven't seen you for half a month. I didn't expect you guys to be here too." Mengshi pulled Paimeng in a circle in the sky. I heard in the Star Gate two days ago that they had received a commission that needed to go to Heguan. I am really looking forward to meeting you today.

"Hello, my name is Ye Xiao." After greeting Ying, Ye Xiao introduced herself to Ah Fu who was standing aside.

"My name is Afu." It was a very simple and clear reply.

After some conversation, Ah Fu still stayed near the Seven Heavens Statue and waited for Ying to find the wooden reed flute. The other four found the stone gate in the direction pointed by Ah Fu.

After passing through the gate, something incredible happened. Everything around her became clear, especially the dream consciousness. She had followed Ye Xiao here for several days and had been shrouded in white mist.

She had seen this physical gate once or twice, but she was really not interested in this shabby-looking gate. She didn't expect that such an ordinary place could be a key entrance.

"The fog, the fog has actually disappeared!" Mengshi half-covered her mouth and said in surprise.

"Indeed, although there is still a little residue, it seems that we can roughly grasp the direction." Ying and Paimon were also looking at the surrounding environment.

"Huh? There is a child over there..." Pamon pointed in surprise to a dead tree in front of him, where a child wearing a straw hat and dark blue clothes stood quietly.

"Does Rice Wife's child usually go to a desert island to play?" Paimon had not yet reacted.

"He should be reminded to go to a safe place and ask about the wooden reed flute." Ying also didn't think in any particular direction.

But the dream consciousness has come back to her. She and Ye Xiao have been wandering around this Heguan Island for such a long time, but they haven't seen even a single person!

"Ye Xiao..." She pulled Ye Xiao's sleeve to remind him that something was wrong, but she received a "reassuring" look from Ye Xiao. Out of trust, Meng Shi put the question back in her stomach. , followed Ying and Paimon towards the child.

The child seemed to be thinking about something and did not notice anyone else appearing. After Ying came forward to say hello softly, he belatedly noticed the sudden appearance of a large group of people and made a surprised sound.

"Wow!"

Ying thought she had scared the other person, "I didn't mean to scare you..."

Of course, this was a misunderstanding, and Ye Xiao, who had been prepared for it, heard a hint of surprise in his tone——

"Although it has failed countless times, subconsciously, I still believe that the possibility of success of the festival will increase if there are outsiders?"

Ye Xiao didn't know what to say about this.

"Are they the big sister and big brother from outside...and the white and gray floating sister? Sister? I'm so happy! I haven't seen anyone from outside for a long time!" The child smiled.

After a simple exchange, everyone learned his name - Aru.

A child who is "thousands of years old" in every sense of the word.

By this time, Paimon should have reacted even if he stayed still, so several people began to communicate in the intercom.

(Paimon: "How strange. Didn't I remember Miss Sumida said that the Tsuruguan civilization disappeared for thousands of years? And his method of calculating age is so weird! And it seems that he has been here for a long time. Come and find out the treasures. He Guan is so high, haven't you met him?")

(Dream Consciousness: "No, this is also the first time we have met other living people on Heguan.")

(Ye Xiao: "Maybe it has something to do with that gate. Maybe now we have entered a place similar to a secret realm.")

(Ying: "Anyway, let's listen to what Aru has to say first.")

Soon, their topic shifted to the festival, and the name of her good friend Kapaciri also appeared in Aru's mouth for the first time.

Under his leadership, they came to the place where the first perch was. It was a little different from what Ye Xiao saw at first. The branches of the perch here were emitting some purple-blue light.

Two other people appeared here - Ibe and Makiri. From their conversation, several people learned something about the perch where Lord Thunderbird stayed before the festival, and about the mist that Tsuraku watched.

Of course, many of these things are what they think they are, and Aru brought everyone here because she actually hoped that they could help.

"Sister Ying, brother Yexiao, sister Mengshi, and sister Paimeng, go find feathers! If you also help to enshrine the perch, Kapaciri will definitely be happy." Aru's mouth was very sweet. , when the brother and sister shouted like this, the two elves were embarrassed to refuse.

The alienated feathers on the perch floated out, and when several people began to search with their elemental vision, there was an abnormal vibration in Ye Xiao's chest and robe. He guided his magic power to calm "it" and comforted it softly.

"Please be patient for a little longer, now is not the time."
