Chapter 118

Himeko: "Jade... as expected!"

Himeko: "The IPC deliberately sent those two Cornerstones into the heart of the Family!"

Himeko: "All of this is a chain of schemes!!"

Furina: "Damn, this is too outrageous, right?!"

Furina: "Layer after layer, every time we think this scheme ends here, it has an even deeper layer that hasn't been revealed?!"

Hu Tao: "I thought those two Cornerstones were just to provide cover for Aventurine, so he could successfully bring in the Aventurine stone!"

Hu Tao: "Now it seems, this was a plan to kill two birds with one stone?"

Stelle: "This scheming is really smooth!"

Stelle: "As expected of people from the IPC!"

Miss Qingque: "Tsk tsk tsk, we are all in the sewer, but they are in the atmosphere!"

Miss Qingque: "This simply cannot be compared!"

Lumine: "By the way, is this Miss Jade also going to transform?"

Lumine: "Otherwise why did she start reciting lines too?"

Paimon: "Hmm, these lines aren't as flamboyant as Aventurine's..."

Paimon: "But listening to them always gives a creepy feeling..."

Paimon: "I feel like this Miss Jade... will be very terrifying!"

Stelle: "Aventurine and Jade both have lines..."

Stelle: "Topaz, do you dare say you don't?"

Topaz: "No, I really don't!"

Stelle: "I don't believe it!"

Stelle: "Wait until I find an opportunity, I must go and listen to your lines in person!"

Silver Wolf: "Oh, remember to send me a copy, let me see if they sound good."

March 7th: "I want to see too!"

Topaz: "Aiya, please don't be so curious!!!"

Topaz: "I really don't have any lines, and I won't transform!!! (Tearful.jpg)"

The video continues.

At this time, deep in the Memory Zone.

[So dark...]

[Where is this?]

Stelle tries to open her eyes,

but all she sees is darkness.

[Stelle's memories gradually surface, time flowing back a few minutes.]

[Aventurine launches the final offensive, the glittering rain of chips pours down, Acheron immediately draws her blade, then, 'bang'—]

[—That indescribable power severs Preservation, the surrounding space-time instantly falls into stagnation, and Stelle's thoughts are also twisted into a ball at that moment.]

[Stelle's senses fail, only gravity tears at her brain, falling in the boundless darkness...]

[...Until a cluster of firelight takes you into its embrace.]

Stelle: "My brain is a bit dazed, what's the situation now?"

Stelle: "I was fine, why did I faint?"

Stelle: "Could it be that Acheron's slash slashed us too?!"

Welt: "Slashed is not quite right..."

Welt: "But it should have been affected somewhat."

Welt: "Perhaps, we have fallen into the dream world outside the dream along the gap slashed by Miss Acheron."

Himeko: "I think so too."

March 7th: "A cluster of firelight takes her into its embrace... is this someone who saved her?"

Furina: "Should be, right?"

Furina: "But who could this be?"

Furina: "It seems no one can glow?"

Silver Wolf: "I already said it's firelight, so it must be burning!"

Silver Wolf: "And it just so happens that someone can burn!"

Hu Tao: "Eh, does Miss Silver Wolf mean..."

Silver Wolf: "Hmm, it's her!"

Paimon: "Her???"

Paimon: "Shouldn't it be him??"

Silver Wolf: "Hehehe, that's hard to say."

Firefly: "(Uneasy.jpg)"

Venti: "Ehehe, I seem to understand something."

Venti: "This is really interesting!"

The video continues.

[It seems someone saved me...]

[But no matter what, I have to leave here.]

Thoughts flash through Stelle's mind,

and then,

she wakes up with a start.

[...You're awake.]

[I've been waiting for you here for a long time.]

A tall back stands in front of Stelle,

and says to Stelle with an emotionless electronic synthesized voice.

[It's you... what did you do?]

Stelle recognizes this back,

it is Sam!

[I didn't do anything, just waiting for you to wake up.]

[You have already seen me, Stellaron Hunter Sam.]

Hu Tao: "Ah!"

Hu Tao: "It really was Sam who saved Miss Stelle!"

Hu Tao: "But why?"

Hu Tao: "And how did Sam appear here?"

Furina: "Stellaron Hunters seem to have no bad intentions toward Miss Stelle..."

Furina: "This does seem a bit strange."

Silver Wolf: "What's strange about this."

Silver Wolf: "We have no grudges with her, why would we harm her?"

Welt: "Although there are no grudges, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"

Silver Wolf: "We are just acting according to the script."

Silver Wolf: "As for why, then you have to ask Elio."

Himeko: "Regardless, you saved Stelle, we need to say thank you for this."

March 7th: "Yeah, we on the Express are all reasonable people!"

March 7th: "So, thank you guys."

Stelle: "Don't be in such a hurry to thank them!"

Stelle: "What if this Sam is going to roast me in the next second?"

Stelle: "Then wouldn't I be cremated?!"

Stelle: "But I haven't bought an urn yet, and I haven't thought about where to be buried!!"

Firefly: "No!!"

Firefly: "Sam won't do that!"

Paimon: "Eh?"

Paimon: "Why is Miss Firefly so excited??"

Firefly: "Uh......"

Firefly: "No... I'm not excited!"

Amber: "Suddenly feel Miss Firefly is so strange."

Himeko: "So it was... like this?"

The video continues.

[I wanted to appear in front of you earlier and tell you some facts.]

[But the obstacles I encountered were greater than expected.]

[11 times, I made attempts, but ended in failure, and before I knew it, my connection with this world became too close, making it difficult to escape the constraints of the script.]

[...Elio was right, in this land of dreams, you and I will both gain unforgettable harvests.]

[I am not as knowledgeable about the human heart as him and Kafka, nor do I have the special skills of Silver Wolf and Blade.]

[Most of the things I am good at are only applicable to villains who don't need pity.]

[So—the only means I can use is...]

[That is to show you...]

Saying this,

Sam begins to disengage the mecha.

The mecha turns into blazing flames and slowly disappears,

and the figure inside, also in Stelle's gradually widening eyes,

appears bit by bit!

[My everything...]

The gentle tail sound falls,

Sam's true identity is revealed at this moment.
