Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 517 - 104 Boundary Gate

On the second day, in the afternoon, the weather was clear.

After a night of rest, most of the passengers had recovered their energy and began to wander around the tremendous train in small groups, leaving their compartments behind. The sightseeing car, with no entry restrictions and able to accommodate a large number of people, had become a popular area.

When the train left the human settlement areas of the various states, crossed the Wilderness, and burst forth beyond the boundaries of human knowledge on the map, the already monotonous scenery finally began to change.

"Wow—such big waves! So beautiful!"

Lin Xiaolu, leaning against the window of the sightseeing car, couldn't help but exclaim as she gazed at the azure sea and sky outside the window.

Beside her, Xia Liang and Bai Jingxuan were also squeezed at the window. One of them was constantly taking photos, while the other gazed intently at the horizon, clearly also immersed in this rare scenery.

The reason all of them had gathered here was that Emerald Sparrow had told them at noon to make sure to visit the sightseeing car during this part of the journey. Only when they had actually arrived at the sightseeing car did they understand the intent behind Emerald Sparrow's words: just as Lin Xiaolu had just exclaimed, the train was currently traveling over a vast expanse of ocean.

The ocean, for most residents of the Material Realm, was a sight they could usually only see on television and the internet, as most cities chose not to locate near the sea. Compared to the Wilderness, the mysterious threats from the sea were no less significant, and being adjacent to both the Wilderness and the sea meant that a city's defensive system would be under greater pressure. Moreover, because constructing long-term protective barriers for transportation across the sea was difficult, it wasn't feasible to use the ocean as a means of intercity travel, making it unnecessary to build cities near the coast. Over time, the concept of the "sea" became a distant existence to most people.

Yet now, the train they were all on not only allowed them to view the seascape up close but was indeed traveling on the ocean surface, no wonder the girls were so excited.

The semi-transparent tracks floating above the ocean surface appeared like glimmers through the waves, seemingly made from a crystal-like material, refracting a rainbow of light in the sunlight. Drainage trenches placed at intervals diverted excess seawater, colliding with waves rushing towards the track and generating myriad droplets, like scattered diamonds.

The overly clear water made you doubt whether you were in a dream, with schools of fish swimming beneath the track, visible through the water's surface. They clustered together and then dispersed, chasing the train's shadow as it moved forward.

Inside the carriage was a colorful sea of flowers; outside were a clear blue sky, white clouds, translucent near-turquoise water, and golden sunlight reflecting off the waves. The marvelous scenery had the passengers in the sightseeing car continuously expressing admiration, the sound of camera shutters forming a continuous chorus.

Emerald Sparrow stood behind her juniors, silently gazing out at the scenery reflecting in her azure eyes. The sea breeze blowing in through the window ruffled her scarf, so she draped the extra length over her shoulder and exhaled softly.

Although it wasn't her first time seeing it, such a peculiar landscape always managed to lift one's spirits.

[The train is approaching Luennolay Station. The train is approaching Luennolay Station. Please check your personal belongings if you are disembarking...]

The announcement, steeped in a strong Fairy accent, timely resonated throughout the train, pulling many passengers still lost in the scenery back to reality.

Although the routes traveled in the Material Realm were consistent, once inside the Kingdom, different routes emerged for specialty trains. And most of the time, the main routes would enter the Kingdom from one of the Five Great Cities, proceeding to other cities.

Every year around this time, due to the Kingdom's examination, train operators would adjust route schedules, adding lines that passed by the exam location for that year. This year, this resulted in an increase in the number of routes entering the Kingdom from Luennolay.

"Junior, shall we take a group photo before we get off?"

As the station approached, many passengers in the sightseeing car chose to take a commemorative photo. Naturally, the juniors from Fangting City would not lag behind. After a brief discussion, Lin Xiaolu was in charge of finding someone to help take the photo, while Xia Liang handled arranging the group's location and angle for the photo.

Emerald Sparrow called over didn't seem to mind, allowing Xia Liang to pick and choose, who also dragged her and Bai Jingxuan back and forth. Finally, the photo spot was chosen in the middle of the carriage.

As per Xia Liang's instructions, they all sat side by side on a bench, and the camera was positioned at a forty-five degree angle from the side, perfectly capturing both the interior of the carriage and the scenery outside the window. The person closest to the camera, Emerald Sparrow, needed to lean as close as possible to the seatback behind her, while the farthest person, Xia Liang herself, leaned forward so that all four could appear completely in the frame. After arranging the positions, they stretched out their hands and made a gesture of their liking, completing the composition of the group photo.

After the photo was taken, the train just happened to arrive at the station.

Several minutes later, the group was dragging their luggage off the train.

—"Ah, really, Junior, everyone else made their favorite gestures, why were you the only one who didn't do anything?"

With one hand dragging a large suitcase and the other flipping through the photos on her phone, Xia Liang couldn't help but complain upon seeing that in the photo everyone else had struck a pose, save for Emerald Sparrow, who just stood stiffly in her seat: "This photo could have been so much cuter!"
