Chapter 35 The Journey to the Moon’s Heart
And so, everyone walked into the ‘Great Tunnel – Space-time Trajectory’.
Compared to ordinary tunnels, this place was exceptionally spacious, with a height of 20 meters alone… and as Aiya had mentioned, this tunnel could directly lead to the core of the moon, the Land of Eternity.
The moon’s diameter is 3,476 kilometers, and the entire length of the great tunnel is 12,000 kilometers. Although the girls only needed to travel half the distance, it would still take about 3 days to reach the destination completely.
On the metal tracks, there was a gigantic train. Its appearance was very similar to the Galaxy Tram the girls had taken before. It included a bathroom and a dining room, and it seemed to be maintained by robots, specifically for entertaining distinguished guests.
As for who was driving it…
…”Eh? tvp, why are you here!”
“I heard that the human Highnesses were going to the moon’s core, so I volunteered to be the transporter! Don’t underestimate me, I was a Class-A miner in the past!”
tvp’s screen flickered, and just like she was learning from Su Ling, her eyes were narrowed into a >< shape! "!" "Mm, I'm here to help too. To the human Highnesses, I will serve as the pilot and navigator, providing you with directions as you advance." "Lord Corey… you're here too?" "Yes, actually. I really admire the personalities of humans, and I want to become an elegant noblewoman myself, to perfectly display that graceful demeanor." "!" "However, there are no humans on the moon. I don't have anyone to learn from. I always feel that my tone and intonation are more like that of a eunuch, rather than a noblewoman." "Ah? No, that… you're actually already very elegant." "Don't comfort me. After seeing humans, I know there's still a lot I need to work on~~ Well then, let me continue learning and strive to become a beautiful girl." Corey, with her long legs that were a full 1.5 meters, boarded the train with the girls and General Tas. … And so, the journey to the moon's heart officially began~ The beginning of the journey was very peaceful. Because this area was still under the control of robots, not only was the surrounding lighting complete, but they could also see many working robots along the way. Most of their bodies were quite large, and their hands were sharp electric drills, appearing to be engaged in mineral excavation work. Thanks to the specialized transport tunnels and "fully mechanized" operations, the robots could mine at a high speed, sufficient to meet the material needs of various cities. Lonis didn't need to do anything, she just wandered around the carriage – naturally, such a cute silver-haired girl would be called out to. "Hero Lonis, over here, over here." "Ah… is, is that Jessica?" Lonis's pretty face blushed. Although it wasn't the first time, going to see someone she knew with her enhanced chest still made her feel a bit embarrassed. "Yes, this is Jessica. Your Highness, have you been doing well recently?" "Ah… not bad? Jessica, I thought… you all had died." "Mm, originally I intended to rest in peace. But upon hearing that the Princess had found the Hero, I decided not to sleep eternally." "Eh?" "Because gossip is what I like the most!" Even though she was a robot now, Jessica, just like in the past, showed a very excited expression: "Oh, right, speaking of which, Lonis, I want to ask you a question! Is it okay now?" "Mm, what question?" "Are you now…" Seeing that no one around was paying attention to them, Jessica quickly stood up and lowered her volume, saying: "How many times have you done it with Elus?" "Ah, how many times?" "Don't be so loud, it'll be troublesome if the Princess finds out!" "Urgh… wuwu?" … Lonis's pretty face blushed. She tried to recall, but it seemed she couldn't remember clearly. When she had nothing else to do, she was teased by Elus all day long. Moreover, she and that girl were not ordinary people and didn't have any "grace period". Often, they would play until they fainted at night, and could continue playing during the day. Calculating it this way… … "About, about dozens of times?" "That's quite a lot, are you considering having children?" "Children!" "Shh… I told you not to be so loud." Jessica patted Lonis's shoulder and said with a serious tone: "In the Land of Eternity, there's a human embryo laboratory. If you two want one, that place should be a very good option!" "Um, no, I…" If it were any other day, Lonis wouldn't feel anything when talk of having children arose. But she had just fantasized about it with Elus? Although she was a boy, she had to admit that when Elus disguised herself as an "unsociable girl," her demeanor was truly cold and full of a genderless charm. Moreover, when Elus took care of her, she was truly very gentle and worried about her. Thinking about it, Elus probably wanted a child too, right? If it were a time of peace, she could build a happy family with her and then… (No, no! This is not the time to think about that!!! I haven't defeated General Castor yet, I haven't gotten married, don't think about such things!) … So, Lonis coughed and quickly changed the subject: "Jessica, this is difficult to say, but… thank you for your physique." "Eh, what a pity." "Let's not talk about me. How about you? Have you been well after leaving the Land of Eternity?" "Ah?" "I mean… um, you live on the moon like General Tas, right? Are you still adapting?" "Yes, of course I've adapted! Actually, I found a very valuable job in the Robot Kingdom… that's right, being a kindergarten teacher!" "!" "Doesn't the Robot Kingdom produce a lot of new robots? I'm responsible for tutoring them and helping them understand the concept of humans… Speaking of which, this is also a very interesting thing." "I can kind of understand… is it because robots understand the world differently from humans?" "Yes! Robots can quickly memorize knowledge, but it's difficult for them to understand it… so they don't have schools. The highest academy is a place called the Moon Academy, specially for various robots to communicate and debate." "!" "And regarding the definition of love, robots have many interpretations. For example, some believe love is hormones, while others believe love is the foundation of everything, a quality of human evolution…" … And so, Jessica held Lonis's hand and chattered about many things. Although… There were some things that Lonis couldn't understand. But this didn't stop her from feeling the joy that Jessica conveyed through her words. … Yes, it really is like that. Even before, the reason why she didn't realize at all that the Land of Eternity was a virtual space was because people like Jessica had left her with good memories. Whether it was praise after completing a mission. Or interpretations of the commission details. These were the motivations that supported her all the way before she met Elus. … Lonis still remembers… Elus once said that it was she who saved the souls of the Snow Kingdom, allowing everyone to sleep peacefully. However… In this process, it was also everyone who helped her, allowing her to build confidence, and not fall into despair even after going through so many things. So, Lonis opened her mouth and asked: "Um, Jessica asked me a lot of questions just now~~ I also want to ask Jessica a question now." "Me? My bust size is 97, isn't that… something I told Hero Highness a long time ago?" "It's not that question!! I mean…" Lonis's pretty face blushed, as if her own chest was approaching that number: "I mean, after this revenge is over, what do you want to do, Jessica?" "Do what…" "Will you still stay on the moon?" "No, as for me… I still want to rebuild the Snow Kingdom. If I could open a real adventurer's shop there, that would be great!"
