Chapter 127

"Miss, you are again..."

The person only felt dizzy,

and when they came to their senses again,

they realized they seemed to have forgotten what they were doing just now.

"Accept this gift, little guest."

"This is a gift specially prepared for you by the Family."

"Be sure to hold onto it well. When the Charmony Festival opens, then..."

"At the climax of the performance, press this button together with the person beside you..."

"Maybe... something very interesting will happen, you know?"

Stelle: "The forced-to-work trash Sparkle finally can't keep up the act, right?"

Stelle: "Now she's not even roleplaying anymore, just going straight for the dirty tricks?"

Sparkle: "What else can I do?"

Sparkle: "You saw it too, this person was completely impervious to reason."

Sparkle: "I'm here to find fun, not to be a nanny for people."

Sparkle: "Since he won't listen, I have no choice but to make him listen a bit more, hehe~"

Himeko: "It seems that even in the Dreamscape, not everyone believes the Family's rhetoric."

Welt: "But unfortunately, such people are only a tiny minority and don't matter at all."

March 7th: "And after Sparkle's meddling, this tiny minority is about to be gone too."

Furina: "Miss Sparkle does things entirely based on her own preferences; there's not a shred of logic to be seen."

Hu Tao: "Who's to say otherwise?"

Hu Tao: "At first, she secretly helped Miss Stelle get in touch with the truth of the Dreamscape."

Hu Tao: "Later, she reminded Mr. Aventurine how to learn the truth of the Dreamscape."

Hu Tao: "Now, she's started helping the Family solve problems and comfort the frightened public..."

Hu Tao: "You could say you have no idea whose side she's actually on."

Silver Wolf: "She's a Masked Fool, what other side could she be on?"

Silver Wolf: "Of course, she's on the side of fun!"

Silver Wolf: "Wherever there's fun, she'll stand there for a while."

Silver Wolf: "That is the true Fool."

Dr. Ratio: "Well said, that's how followers of Elation are."

Amber: "I'm still more concerned about..."

Amber: "Is this button Miss Sparkle handed out... really a bomb?"

Amber: "If this is real..."

Amber: "Then when the Charmony Festival starts, if someone presses this button..."

Amber: "Wouldn't that..."

Sparkle: "Bang!!!"

Sparkle: "Then it'll be a bloodbath, hahaha~"

Stelle: "Whoa, that exciting?!"

March 7th: "Exciting???"

Stelle: "Ahem, I mean, that inhumane?!"

Stelle: "But, I don't believe you'd really dare to blow up Penacony."

Stelle: "Because if you did, you'd definitely be hunted down by all the major powers in the universe."

Stelle: "And be officially branded as a universe-level arch-villain!"

Stelle: "By then, you won't be able to escape!"

Sparkle: "Wuwuwu, I'm really so scared~"

Sparkle: "However... I'm a master of hide-and-seek!"

Sparkle: "Do you believe they won't be able to find a trace of me at all~"

Stelle: "I don't believe it."

Sparkle: "Ha, little gray-hair, believe it or not, whatever~"

The video continues.

The scene shifts to Stelle and Firefly.

"Everything has returned to the starting point. You once stepped into the [Golden Hour] from here, and you will also step into the real Penacony from here."

"I'm very happy to be walking with you again."

"Now that things have come to this, I can finally reveal the whole truth to you."

"As you can see... my other name is Stellaron Hunter Sam."

Firefly faced Stelle,

and began to explain the reason for all this.

"Are you... Firefly's soul?"

Stelle looked at Firefly,

feeling it was all a bit surreal.

"I know you have many questions..."

"Do you remember when we encountered death in the strange Dreamscape?"

"At that time, I was clutched in the hands of the meme..."

"In the moment before it was about to commit murder, I saw the reflection of another Dreamscape in those terrifying pupils."

"According to the script's hints, I had some guesses about that meme."

"So I had Silver Wolf send out an invitation, guiding everyone to the hotel in the dream..."

"I originally intended to summon death in front of you, using more direct means to reveal the answer and invite you into the game."

"But things went against my wishes; I couldn't defy the script. I didn't even have time to explain it to you."

"Just as you saw, I was pierced by the wing-blades of death."

"The heavy pressure of thick memory-matter... they exploded in my mind, as if it were reality."

"But after the momentary paralysis faded, I found my body intact."

"I was indeed still alive, and as I thought—I had arrived at a place completely different from the sweet dream."

"Buried beneath Penacony's Dreamscape is another more primitive, more chaotic memory zone. Its name is... Exile's Path."

"So I returned to the hotel in the dream, wanting to tell you of its existence."

"But I couldn't reveal my identity yet, so I could only find a way to divert the attention of the person walking with you and take you away from the battlefield."

"After that, all my attempts ended in failure."

"Until not long ago, a blood-red blade light shattered the high wall in the dream, causing you and your companions to fall into this deep Dreamscape, and only then was I able to wake you and your companions up one by one..."

"This is everything that happened before."

Firefly explained, bit by bit,

many things to Stelle.

Stelle: "No wonder Sam looked like he was deliberately coming for me before!"

Stelle: "So it was you, Firefly, who wanted to take me away!"

Stelle: "Tsk, you should've said so earlier, and wearing that mecha suit, you scared the heck out of me!"

Firefly: "Sorry, but I couldn't reveal my identity at that time, so I could only do that."

Firefly: "But unfortunately, the me in the video didn't succeed; the script couldn't be defied."

Firefly: "Miss Acheron intercepted me."

Firefly: "And it seems that in the subsequent process, due to various accidents, I didn't get another chance to contact you."

Furina: "So, looking at it this way, the reason Miss Acheron stopped fighting Sam after a while..."

Furina: "Was because Miss Acheron discovered Sam's true identity."
