Chapter 128

Welt: "Therefore, your words are not trustworthy."

Silver Wolf: "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Silver Wolf: "At least, the versions of you in the video still accepted my help, didn't you?"

Stelle: "Cough, cough, let's all get along and make money together!"

March 7th: "Hey, Stelle, don't change the subject!"

March 7th: "Why do you always defend the Star Core Hunters?"

March 7th: "Are they your relatives?!"

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

Stelle: "Uh, everyone, let's all calm down a bit."

Stelle: "Focus on the video! Focus on the video!"

Paimon: "Hehe, it feels like Young Lady Stelle is really helpless right now."

Ying: "I get the feeling their relationship is kinda weird."

Furina: "Star Core Hunters..."

Furina: "I think they were mentioned briefly in one of the earlier educational videos."

Furina: "They seem like a very powerful and famous organization?"

Silver Wolf: "Mm-hmm! Young Lady Furina, you have excellent insight!"

Silver Wolf: "Our Star Core Hunters' name may not be known throughout the entire universe, but it's certainly legendary and thunderously renowned!"

Truth Doctor: "Indeed, it's not just their reputation that's thunderous."

Truth Doctor: "Their bounties are even more thunderously renowned!"

Xiangling: "Bounty... bounty?"

Xiangling: "Who's putting up the bounty? Are they wanted criminals?"

Sangonomiya: "Of course it's the Company that put up the bounty."

Sangonomiya: "The bounties on those few Star Core Hunters are astronomical sums!"

Sangonomiya: "Take Miss Kaufka, for example."

Sangonomiya: "Her bounty with the Company is over eleven digits!"

Sangonomiya: "That's an unimaginable fortune!"

Topaz: "Exactly. With that kind of money, an ordinary person could instantly become a super-rich tycoon."

Kave: "What?!"

Kave: "Eleven digits?!!"

Kave: "You're not joking, are you?!"

Silver Wolf: "What? You think that's too much?"

Silver Wolf: "I think the bounty's still too low—it doesn't even match our reputation."

Botero: "Damn it! Compared to you Star Core Hunters, my bounty is laughably low!"

Furina: "Botero, you have a bounty too?!"

Shenhe: "May I ask curiously... how much?"

Botero: "Can't compare to those few Star Core Hunters... it's just a few hundred million."

Hu Tao: "Just... a few hundred million?!!"

Botero: "Yeah, even the weakest of those Star Core Hunters have bounties in the billions."

Botero: "Kauffka alone is over ten billion!"

Botero: "So my few hundred million? Obviously just peanuts!"

Zhong Li: "Indeed... at first hearing, a few hundred million sounds like a massive sum."

Zhong Li: "But by common rationality, a few hundred million is negligible compared to billions or tens of billions."

Paimon: "Here it comes again! Zhong Li still has zero concept of money!"

Ying: "A few hundred million may not beat billions, but it's still an unimaginable fortune!!"

Ying: "If I had a few hundred million Mora, I'd never have to worry again!"

Miss Ningguang: "Correct. A few hundred million Mora is no small amount."

Hu Tao: "Say, Qike, you don't even care about a few hundred million?"

Hu Tao: "Someone who doesn't know might think you're the Rock Lord himself, able to conjure Mora out of thin air!"

Hu Tao: "But you don't even have a single Mora in your own pocket! Everything you eat, drink, or enjoy is charged to the public account!!"

Hu Tao: "You're going to bankrupt the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor with your spending!!"

Xiao: "...."

Liu Yun: "...."

Ying: "Uh... is there a possibility?"

Ying: "That even the Rock Lord himself has no concept of Mora..."

Paimon: "Maybe he doesn't even have any Mora to spend!"

Hu Tao: "Huh? What nonsense are you two spouting?"

Hu Tao: "The Lord of Wealth would have no Mora to spend?"

Hu Tao: "Impossible! That's absolutely impossible!!"

Young Master: "That's entirely possible!!"

Zhong Li: "Indeed, by common rationality, such a possibility exists."

Venti: "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Looks like I'm not the only one living hand to mouth."

Diluc: "...."

The video continues.

After Stelle returned to her room,

she immediately walked up to Black Swan, ready to ask her questions.

【You look very nervous, Stelle.】

【Are you worried about that little Miss?】

【If something's on your mind, feel free to confide in me.】

【There's no existence in this world better suited to be a therapist than a Memokeeper.】

Black Swan spoke up before Stelle could open her mouth.

【Thank you for saving my life.】

Looking at Black Swan, Stelle spoke gratefully first.

【Hehe, don't mention it. It's what I should do.】

【After all, you're very special....... special enough that many pairs of eyes are watching you.】

Black Swan said with a faint smile.

【Um.. can you confirm Firefly's safety?】

Stelle asked the question she was eager to know.

【Don't worry, it's a one-way door. It only leads to waking reality.】

【Unless that girl holds a strong will and absolutely refuses to wake from the dream...】

【But.. how could that be?】

【She must be rubbing her eyes somewhere in the hotel right now.】

Black Swan explained.

【... To be honest, I don't really trust Memokeepers.】

After learning Firefly should be fine, Stelle said with some hesitation.

【Looks like you have some unpleasant memories..... But clearly, cooperating going forward is wise for you, for me, and for the Astral Express crew, right?】

【So you can rely on me with peace of mind.】

【Of course, I'm not the only Memokeeper who came here — Penacony issued its first public invitation to factions outside the Family, and the Garden of Recollection must record this historic moment...】

【So you can also try cooperating with others.... as long as you can see them, hehe.】

Black Swan couldn't help teasing Stelle.

【Alright, speaking of which, aren't you going back to your own room?】
