The 'cozy' daily work life of a witch lady in a cyberpunk interstellar era, occasionally also a passionate epic.
She is a timid girl growing up in a cyberpunk city.
She is a cry...
Chapter 270 The Sleepless Bird
The next day, Tilan woke up from her sleep at half past nine.
She looked at the time, curled up in the quilt and moved a little, still missing the warmth and comfort of the quilt, and didn't want to get up.
But it felt late now, it would be 10 o'clock later, and if others asked, it would be a bit embarrassing for this newly crowned singer to still sleep in. After thinking about it, she still got up reluctantly, knelt on the bed, and looked through her personal terminal first, and saw that Akaxia sent her a message at 7 o'clock.
[This is the breakfast place, you can go there to eat.]
There was also a positioning point attached, which was about 300 meters away from where she lived.
Would replying to the message now give the other party the feeling that she had just woken up? Forget it, it's already like this, just a little lazy, it shouldn't be a big problem.
The girl replied, [Okay, I know, I'll go later, thank you. ]
Standing up from the bed, the girl then jumped off the bed lightly, stepped on her slippers, and walked to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.
10 minutes later, Tilan, who had changed her clothes, looked in front of the mirror, then opened the door and walked out.
Today she was wearing a dress that was more like a school style. Uesugi had a plaid collar and a gray plaid pleated skirt. Although it was a little formal, it was still particularly conspicuous compared to this area full of professionals.
After all, those who can work in the Flower Crown Star Region are all formal employees, and there are no minors, and she is naturally very eye-catching when walking among them.
"What would Tilan like to order?" When she walked into the restaurant, the staff greeted her kindly.
"Let me see, a piece of green ice fruit bread, a glass of milk, and a small box of strawberries." She looked at the menu selection that appeared on the big screen.
"Okay." Soon the waiter put the prepared things on the plate and brought it up.
"If it's not enough, you can order more."
"Actually, I can't eat that much." The girl took the plate and answered, and then remembered something.
"Hey, do you know my name?" She probably hadn't seen this big sister working in the restaurant before.
"Of course, the new singer, Heshia Tilan, people in the surrounding area probably know your name now, and, you see, there is only a child here, it is easy to recognize."
A child? The girl looked around and found that it was indeed the case. Everyone was an adult working person, and she was the only one who looked younger. No wonder she was recognized so easily.
This, it feels like being watched by others, the girl thought, and then she took the plate and sat down to the side, recalling the teachings of the etiquette teacher in the past, and tried to chew slowly to finish this breakfast, and then said goodbye to the big sister of the restaurant who waved to her enthusiastically.
When she found Akashia again, the priestess sister was walking on the road with a recording board.
"Found you, Tilan." She settled her steps, bent down slightly, and looked carefully at the girl's clothes today. Tilan felt a little embarrassed, and then stood up.
"Come with me. We still have some tasks to complete today." As he said that, he led Tilan to a parking cabin and entered his ID. After verification, the cabin door opened and a small shuttle for four people automatically floated out.
The shell of this small shuttle is square and slightly round, giving people a cute feeling. After sitting in it, it will float up, and then connect to the cableway between areas, and shuttle quickly, like riding a roller coaster, but the interior is extremely stable.
After a while, the two arrived at an area with fewer people.
"This is one of the sub-ports of the Great Library. You can watch various film and television archives, historical records, etc. stored in the Great Library here." Akaxia walked in front to introduce.
Passing through the quiet corridor, the two entered the arched hall in the building, where there are immersion cabins distributed one by one, and you can lie down in it to watch the movie.
"Let's watch the historical part about the song girl first. This is one of the contents that Tilan needs to learn." She took out the recording board on her chest and turned to introduce it to Tilan.
It was marked with a roughly three-day schedule, including all kinds of knowledge that a singer must learn, recorded videos that need to be watched and remembered, and the final audio and video records.
"It has been simplified. If it were 400 years ago, each singer would have to study for more than half a year before leaving." Akaxia introduced.
"So many?" The girl blinked, thankful that she was born a few hundred years later.
"Of course, because there were few singers in the past, the Federation paid special attention to it. Later, I'll tell Tilan later." She took Tilan to an immersion cabin and lay down. Not long after, after a mechanical prompt sound and confirmation, the illusion crystal mist gradually filled the air, and Tilan's eyes also appeared in the distant time.
——————
In the cold and dark starry sky, the indicator dial in the spacecraft was ticking, just like usual, without any change.
This is a medium-sized interstellar spacecraft, about 600 meters long, with 387.5 crew members. The reason for this description is that one of the crew members will probably not survive the next sidereal year.
His organs have begun to fail. This is the sequelae of a long hibernation. Not everyone can wake up safely from hibernation.
The time is November 12, 4524 of the Fifth Era, 18:43. There are still 41 days before the next shift change. Because there is no suitable place to stay all year round, this spaceship has been sailing in the cold and lonely starry sky for nearly 300 years.
What is the concept of 300 years? That is the beige hamster that was brought on board that year. It has bred to the 893rd generation, and the earliest crew members have now become ashes at the bottom of the cabin.
"You children have never seen the broad and green land in your life." An old man stroked his great-grandson and sighed regretfully before his death.
Because of the fight between the "Black Suns", many habitable planets in the galaxy were destroyed by war, and some were even destroyed by the original residents themselves.
In the uninterrupted struggle and war, a large number of people were exterminated, and a small number of people struggled to escape from it. The ancestors who first drove this spaceship were one of them.
"We are going to find a brand new home." The first captain who led everyone to escape from the war-torn world promised everyone.
"At first, there were 21 ships, but many of them were damaged and left behind. Gradually, there were only 6 ships left, and then, now there is only this one. Its hyperdrive is not original, but disassembled from another larger ship."
The old man recalled this, and no one after him knew the initial situation.
Although humans have the means to fly faster than the speed of light, compared with the vast starry sky, this power and speed are still too small.
Each time they shuttle, it may take several years or even ten years to pass through the next star system to find and explore whether it meets the expectations of a habitable planet.
"Why don't we land on a roughly feasible planet and live there?" The young child asked the adult.
Although there is no atmosphere and the cold and lonely planet is very desolate, with today's technology, it may not be impossible to survive temporarily.
"No, child." The old man on the ship said to him at that time.
"Some birds, once they fall, can never fly again."
This sentence puzzled the child, but many years later, when he faced his own children's questions, he hesitated for a while and gave the same answer.
"Some birds, once they fall, can never fly again."
