The One Who Turned The Moon Red

Chapter 18~ The Beginning of the End of the Lufou Arc

Sw: July 26, 2024?

I feel like I should specify this again
This Lufou Arc is just an abbreviated version of events that went down.

The Lufou will have 2 chapters dedicated to this Arc, apologies if you wanted the full Lufou Arc but I just have too much motivation for Penacony, I gotta get the Lufou over with
—————————————————————
Himeko looks towards the door after hearing it slide open, in walks Dan Heng with Caelus, Stelle and March in toe

"Welcome back, that was one heck of a first mission" she greets them with a warm smile
—————————————————————

The crew yaps about everything that happened on the ice planet, like a mission summary.

Dan Heng leaves almost immediately after to go take a nap (relatable).
Lucia who boarded the express way before anyone else is nowhere to be seen, March goes to her room to sort out the photos she took while in belobog and the twins crash on the long red couches in the main lounge

A couple hours later

The passengers of the astral express gather in the lounge and discuss their next destination, 2 people are missing, namely Dan Heng and Lucia.

Their navigation meeting is rudely interrupted by the Stelleron Hunter Kafka, who tells them a stelleron burst just occurred less than 24 system hours ago. She also mentions her companion who has been caught by the cloud knights, Blade.

"I'm not forcing the express to go, but that stelleron will eventually destroy that ship"

Kafka leaves that message, the crew then calls the 2 missing members down to discuss their Final decision

March is against the idea of going, saying that we shouldn't listen to her

Stelle wants to go, to save people but more importantly to meet up with her mama kafka.

Caelus also doesn't want to go, saying that he's tired after all the walking and cool things they didn't do in belobog, although he admits that kafka is Pretty and he does want to meet her

They all do a final vote:

Himeko: Obstained

Dan Heng: Obstained

Lucia: Obstained

March: Go

Stelle: Go

Caelus: Against going

Welt: Go

Final verdict:..... Their Going to China

—————————————————————

After discussing who will be going on the Lufou, it has been decided that Stelle, Caelus, March and Welt (much to his excitement) would be departing from the express to deal with the crisis on the ship
—————————————————————

Lucia and Dan Heng leave once again

—————————————————————

Around 10 system hours later, Dan Heng is awoken from his sleep by nightmares, he requests to see the recording that he previously missed out on.
