"All members of the five great families of Penacony, as well as the entire staff of the 'Dreamscape' hotel, will unite in welcoming guests from across the universe!"
Jimi inquired curiously, "I've heard that your sister, the galactic superstar Miss Robin, will also be performing at this grand ceremony?"
As Jimi asked, a screen behind the bird and the man displayed a photo of Robin - the cover of her famous album: "To Keep A Heart From Sorrow."
"Indeed," Sunday confirmed, "During this grand event, Robin will sing a hymn to the Aeon of Harmony on behalf of the 'family,' marking the opening of the ceremony."
"At present, my sister has already arrived in Penacony and is engrossed in intense rehearsals, hoping to deliver a perfect performance for all our guests."
"Oh, oh~~" Jimi raised his wings excitedly, "Miss Robin's participation will surely make this event even more dazzling!"
He then followed up with another question, "Mr. Sunday, I have a friend who's very interested in the preparations for the ceremony. Hehe... Would you mind sharing some details?"
"Certainly," Sunday agreed readily, providing a detailed introduction, "All preparations for the ceremony are progressing at full speed. The renovation work on the 'Dreamscape' hotel is nearing completion, and we will further strengthen staff management to improve service quality."
"Additionally, we've increased the number of performers and service personnel from the 'Iris' family in Penacony's main scenic areas and attractions, hoping to make every guest feel at home."
"Undoubtedly, the safety of our guests is of paramount importance. The loyal and brave 'Bloodhound' family will be fully engaged in the security work for the ceremony."
毫无疑问,我们客人的安全至关重要。忠诚勇敢的“猎犬”家族将全力参与仪式的安全工作。
"There is no danger in Penacony's beautiful dreams."
"On behalf of the family, I promise the entire universe that the safety of every guest will be guaranteed."
[Stella: Recently, Mr. Sunday, the family spokesperson, stated: "There is no danger in beautiful dreams."]
[March 7th: Even when Aventurine can bombard Gold with chip rain, is this still considered safe?!]
[Goethe Wood: Under His protection, Harmony encompasses all. Small accidents are nothing to fear.]
Jimi immediately responded, "Ahem, with Mr. Sunday's assurance, my friend should be able to put their mind at ease..."
"Of course, the 'family' embraces everything," Sunday's voice came again, "As long as you carry dreams and good intentions, even guests from the 'Nihility Gang,' or even... Stellaron Hunters, Penacony will welcome them."
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
[Stella: It's a pity that the Grand Duke of the Nihility Gang will never be able to come. Rest in peace.]
[Guinaifen: Rest in peace, family!]
[Sushang: Speaking of which, it's unbelievable that the family would still welcome Stellaron Hunters when the company has put out a warrant for them.]
[Fu Xuan: The family and the company have always been at odds. Haven't you ever studied history?]
[Sushang: Ahem, Lord Fu Xuan.]
"Since issuing the invitations, we have received responses from many organizations across the universe. Today, we will also be revealing the guest list for the ceremony for the first time," Sunday said methodically.
Jimi continued, "Ahem,
As Jimi's voice sounded, solemn and inspiring background music played in the video. The first image to appear was the striking logo of the Interastral Peace Corporation, followed by a close-up photo of Aventurine sitting at a gambling table.
"Dedicate everything to the Amber Lord of Preservation!"
"The high-ranking official of the 'Strategic Investment Department' of the Interastral Peace Corporation, the largest economic entity in the universe, and rumored member of the 'Ten Stonehearts' - Mr. Aventurine!"
Next flashed the unique emblem of the Astral Express and a stunning photo of Himeko.
"Explore, Understand, Establish, Connect"
"The nameless passenger inheriting the will of the Aeon of The Hunt, Akivili, connecting the lines between stars - Miss Himeko, the navigator of the Astral Express, will arrive in Penacony with all members of the Astral Express!"
Following this was the striking logo of the Intelligentsia Guild, accompanied by a photo of Ratio
"Trade knowledge for wisdom, calculate wealth with formulas!"
"Transcending the limitations of individuals with an academic network of mutual exchange, the renowned scholar from the Intelligentsia Guild - Mr. Veritas Ratio!"
The scene then switched to display the unique logo of Mnemonist Ensemble, along with a photo of Black Swan, one hand on her chest, holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Thought is existence, Memory is proof of existence!"
"Dedicated to the preservation and sharing of memories, traveling the stars free from physical form, the Mnemonist from 'Mnemonist Ensemble' - Miss Black Swan!"
Next came the mask representing Elation, along with a photo of a cute young girl setting off fireworks.
"The universe is indifferent, but Elation can alleviate suffering!"
"Never give up, never get discouraged, never cry, never say goodbye - Miss Sparkle will represent the 'Masked Fools' at this grand ceremony!"
Following this was a familiar photo of Acheron standing in the rain with an umbrella.
"Walking on the path of The Hunt, traveling from one planet to another!"
"Upholding justice, hunting down evil, and then embarking on new journeys!"
"They have been absent from the spotlight for too long. Miss Acheron will represent the 'Stellaron Hunters' and once again take the stage!"
Jimi finally finished introducing the guest list for the Convivial Celebration.
Sunday concluded, "On behalf of the family, I hereby sincerely invite all esteemed guests to come to Penacony and join other visitors in this grand feast!"
[March 7th: Let me get this straight, The Hunt, Remembrance, Elation, Erudition, Preservation, Destruction - wow! Almost all factions and paths have invited guests. Is this what the Convivial Celebration is? It's really lively.]
[Himeko: Little March, you've actually overlooked one point. That is, our own family is also part of Harmony and can be considered an independent faction. However, it's really puzzling how Penacony will develop in the future.]
Himeko couldn't help but recall the reply letter she had signed earlier. At that time, Stella had not yet boarded the train. Now, thinking carefully, she increasingly felt that there were many issues within the family.
As her thoughts surged like a tide, Himeko once again turned her gaze to the music box sent by the family. As she gently wound the spring, along with the crisp and melodious tune, a strange and unfamiliar sound at a specific frequency transmitted from the invitation into her ears.
"Hmm... what's this sound?" A hint of doubt arose in Himeko's heart, and she immediately devoted herself to studying this music box.
