Chapter 110

But being alone with myself... I still can't get used to it.

Want to do it together? Just as a keepsake.

Liu Ying thought this method was excellent,

but she found it boring alone,

so she wanted to bring Stelle along.

That's great, of course.

Stelle didn't even think twice,

and readily agreed.

Hehe, I'm a bit nervous in front of the camera, don't laugh at me, okay?

Here... you take it.

Liu Ying handed the phone to Stelle,

wearing an expectant expression.

Stelle took the phone,

then swiftly opened the camera function,

switched to the front-facing lens.

She extended her arm,

fitting both herself and Liu Ying into the frame.

Wait a moment... let me get ready again....

Liu Ying suddenly spoke up,

then quickly tied two cute little pigtails on herself.

... All right! Let's begin.

One...

Two....

Say cheese—!!

Click—the shutter sounded.

A photo brimming with sweet emotion,

set against a dreamlike sky as backdrop,

was born at this moment.

In the photo, the two girls smiled sweetly, enviable to behold.

Hu Tao: "Wow, this photo is absolutely beautiful!!"

Hu Tao: "Liu Ying Young Lady smiles so sweetly, and Stelle Young Lady's expression is so gentle too."

Ke Li: "Ke Li also wants to take a photo with both beautiful big sisters!"

Stelle: "Just thinking that I can't have this precious photo right now makes me go crazy!!"

March 7th: "What a pity—the me in the dreamscape isn't with Stelle right now."

March 7th: "If we were together, wouldn't we be able to take a photo with Liu Ying Young Lady too?"

March 7th: "And we'd have a camera—we could print the photo right out!!"

Liu Ying: "I... I've never taken a photo before...."

Liu Ying: "Will I look bad in the photo...?"

Furina: "Of course not! Liu Ying Young Lady, you're very photogenic."

Furina: "I'm certain that if you went for a sweet image and became a star, you'd be adored by countless people."

Robin: "Furina Young Lady is absolutely right."

Robin: "Liu Ying Young Lady's sweet aura can warm even the coldest heart."

Robin: "It's a pity... Liu Ying Young Lady faces many difficulties in reality."

Robin: "Otherwise, I'd truly have invited Liu Ying Young Lady into the Iris Clan."

Robin: "With the Iris Clan's professional standards, I'm certain that within a few years, we could turn Liu Ying Young Lady into a universe-class superstar equal to me."

Xiao Gong: "Sigh... what a pity...."

Liu Ying: "Thank you all for your approval of me."

Liu Ying: "Actually, being able to do these things in the dreamscape already makes me very happy."

Sunday: "If Liu Ying Young Lady wishes, you may live permanently within the dreamscape."

Sunday: "I've already arranged permanent residency for Liu Ying Young Lady."

Sunday: "From now on, when you come to Penacony, you will no longer be a stowaway."

Sunday: "Consider it a small token from my sister and me."

March 7th: "Mr. Sunday, you're such a generous, kind-hearted man!"

Stelle: "What kind-hearted man?"

Stelle: "He's a holy sage! He's my Qi Ri brother!!"

Liu Ying: "No... no need! I don't want to trouble Mr. Sunday!"

Robin: "Liu Ying Young Lady, please don't be so polite."

Robin: "The very purpose of the dreamscape's creation was to let everyone experience the sweetness of beautiful dreams—to leave behind their own moments of emotion."

Robin: "So, allowing Liu Ying Young Lady to feel joy within the dream"

Robin: "is also our honor."

Silver Wolf: "Tsk tsk tsk, you siblings really are generous."

Sunday: "My sister is right, Miss Firefly, there's no need to refuse."

Firefly: "B-but... mm... alright then."

Firefly: "Thank you, Mr. Sunday and Miss Robin."

Firefly: "I will keep your kindness in my heart."

Huang Quan: "Heh, how nice."

The video continued.

After taking photos with Firefly,

900 Stellaron pulled her around the area for a while longer.

Then,

her phone received a message from the group chat.

【Group: Astral Express Family】

【Himeko: Everyone, are you having fun?】

【March 7th: Fun is fun.】

【March 7th: But something just feels off...】

【March 7th: There's an unreal feeling, kind of weird, I can't quite put my finger on it.】

【Stelle: After all, it's in a dream.】

【March 7th: I ran into a man wearing a plaster head at the auction. He didn't do anything and just left — so suspicious.】

【Welt: I also have some rather unpleasant discoveries. The situation is complicated; it's best discussed in person.】

【Himeko: Same here.】

【Himeko: Looks like it's time to head back to reality.】

【Himeko: Gather in my room.】

The messages ended here,

and paused for the moment.

【Are you heading back?】

【Time really flies, doesn't it.】

【I'm also planning to return to reality and rest.... Let's go — let's part ways at the golden hour.】

Firefly saw Stelle's movements,

and understood she could no longer keep her company now.

So she considerately suggested they leave.
