Chapter 133: Gravekeeper Little Misha! I

The video continues.

Just after the Peppy said this,

a group of Memory Zone Memes suddenly sprang out from nowhere.

Consequently, the group had no choice but to join forces to disperse these Memory Zone Memes.

【He has fainted.】

【Presumably, the negative emotions were too intense, attracting the nearby Memory Zone Memes.】

Once the Memory Zone Memes vanished,

Welt discovered that this Peppy had already been frightened into a dead faint, unconscious.

【Oh... but why aren't the pedestrians on the road afraid?】

March 7th asked with some curiosity.

【Unlike the Sweet Dream, people here do not treat Memory Zone Memes as dangerous monsters...】

【Even if there is real danger, one can leave the dreamscape through a forced awakening.】

【However, this gentleman... we cannot leave him lying on the street. Can you take him to a safe place?】

After Little Misha answered March 7th's question,

he turned to make this request.

【Then let's leave it to Auntie Tracy!】

【While waiting for you all, I've already gotten to know many locals.】

March 7th thought for a moment and immediately had a solution.

Stelle: "March, in just this short while, you've gotten so familiar with people in the Dreamflux Reef?"

March 7th: "That's right!"

March 7th: "I am the social butterfly of the Express crew, most skilled at handling interpersonal relationships!"

March 7th: "Making friends in a new place is just a piece of cake, isn't it?"

March 7th: "Plus, this young lady is naturally beautiful and loved by everyone..."

Stelle: "Alright, alright!"

Stelle: "Stop being so full of yourself!"

Stelle: "If you ask me, as a social butterfly, you're still a bit behind me."

Stelle: "After all, I am the Express crew's designated social butterfly!"

Silver Wolf: "Social butterfly?"

Silver Wolf: "I don't think that word is enough to describe you."

Silver Wolf: "You should be called an 'attention seeker' instead."

Miss Qingque: "Hahaha, that's so right!"

Miss Qingque: "Stelle is clearly the universe's number one attention seeker!"

Stelle: "You're the attention seekers!! Your whole family are attention seekers!!!"

Sparkle: "Oh my, little gray-hair, why are you getting worked up again?"

Sparkle: "Isn't it good to be an attention seeker?"

Sparkle: "At the very least, you can get a lot of attention~"

Furina: "That's true."

Furina: "No matter the occasion, Miss Stelle can always make everyone focus their gaze on her through some unique remarks and performances."

Hu Tao: "So... this really does fit the characteristics of an attention seeker?"

Stelle: "Wuwuwu, I'm not an attention seeker, please stop saying that!!"

Stelle: "I just have a mild case of social butterfly syndrome!"

Dr. Ratio: "That's not mild."

Dr. Ratio: "If such a condition truly existed,"

Dr. Ratio: "you would at least be in the terminal stage..."

Miss Bailu: "No hope left, you'll just have to continue being a social butterfly forever."

The video continues.

March 7th began to lead the way,

to find the Auntie Tracy she mentioned.

【People live self-sufficient lives...】

【I don't know how to describe it, but I always feel that this place is more like the real dream world...】

Walking on the road,

March 7th looked at the people and objects around her,

and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Soon,

they arrived at Tracy's place.

【Auntie Tracy, good evening!】

【Uh... is it considered evening now?】

March 7th opened her mouth to greet her.

【It's Miss March 7th, welcome.】

【And these few are...】

Tracy smiled,

then looked at Welt and Stelle and the others,

showing a puzzled expression.

【These two are my companions!】

【As for this one lying on the ground... he's a coward who got scared unconscious...】

March 7th scratched her head,

and explained a few words to Tracy.

【Haha, understood, understood. Another person who accidentally stumbled in here. Leave him here.】

After hearing March 7th's explanation,

Tracy understood in a second,

and then said with a laugh.

【There have been more and more new faces lately. A lot must have happened in the Sweet Dream.】

【The few remaining lands of freedom in Asdana are also losing their peace...】

Tracy looked at the person lying on the ground,

and couldn't help but show a hint of melancholy on her face.

【Is this kind of thing common?】

Welt suddenly interrupted to ask.

【I wouldn't call it common, but the frequency is getting higher and higher...】

【This is also one of the signs of the "Sweet Dream's collapse."】

【This gentleman has suffered quite a shock. Miss March 7th, could you help me find a Sky-Folk girl?】

【Her singing can heal mental trauma.】

Tracy shook her head,

and answered.

Then she entrusted the task to March 7th.

【Sky-Folk girl...?】

March 7th didn't know who Tracy was talking about.

【Presumably, she means Robin.】

【At this moment, she is also in the Dreamflux Reef.】

Welt reminded March 7th.

【Eh?! Miss Robin? Isn't she...】

【That's right, if Miss Firefly is safe and sound, Miss Robin must have experienced the same encounter.】

Hearing Welt's words,

March 7th was startled at first,

and then suddenly realized.

【This Little Misha is about to take us to see her to clear up the ins and outs of this.】

【But before that, let's meet up with Himeko first.】

【You were with her before, right?】

Welt inquired about Himeko's whereabouts from March 7th.

【We met quite a few stowaways at our residence earlier. Most of them came from neighboring star systems.】

【It is said that places like the Dreamflux Reef are not unique in Asdana's Memory Zone. They are like small islands in the ocean; they existed before the Family arrived...】

【I also heard a theory: it is said that when the Dreamflux Reef first took shape, it was the center of the Penacony dreamscape!】

Hearing Welt's inquiry,

March 7th directly shared some of the information she had gathered earlier.

【If this theory is true, then the many similarities between the Sweet Dream and this place make sense.】

Welt nodded,

feeling that the information provided by March 7th had a high degree of authenticity.

【Himeko should still be asking that person for information, so shall we set off quickly?】

March 7th urged.

Furina: "After all this time... it turns out there are more dreamscapes besides the Dreamflux Reef?"

Furina: "Then where do these dreamscapes come from?"

Hu Tao: "Don't know where they come from."

Hu Tao: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with the Family."

Hu Tao: "Because they existed before the Family arrived."

Gallagher: "These dreamscapes are the result of the efforts of the initial pioneers."

Gallagher: "It was they who, in the barren Memory Zone, worked tirelessly and without fear of danger, to open up one after another... the first Sweet Dream worlds!"

Paimon: "Wow!"

Paimon: "That sounds so magnificent!"

Venti: "Hmm, it's not hard to imagine just how glorious that era was!"

Venti: "Compared to the people of that time... the people in Penacony's Sweet Dream today seem a bit... lifeless?"

Zhongli: "Born in sorrow, die in peace."

Zhongli: "The environment of Penacony's Sweet Dream today is too comforting, to the point that the people living here only know how to enjoy themselves and no longer care about anything else."

Zhongli: "Speaking from a universal rational perspective... this is like breaking a balance, leading to decline after reaching the peak!"

Zhongli: "It will very likely lead to Penacony eventually meeting a bad ending."

Paimon: "So... people can't just blindly enjoy themselves, right..."

Dr. Ratio: "Too much is as bad as too little..."

Dr. Ratio: "For everything, there must be a limit!"

Dr. Ratio: "Once this limit is exceeded, hidden dangers will be buried, thereby causing serious consequences in the future."

Stelle: "I don't feel it's as serious as you all say."

Stelle: "Penacony's Sweet Dream is only so big, after all."

Stelle: "It can't cover the whole universe, so what's there to fear?"

Stelle: "Anyway, if there's a problem, it's these so-called upper-class people who will be unlucky."

Silver Wolf: "That's right, not many of these upper-class people are good things."

Silver Wolf: "Letting them suffer a bit isn't a big problem."

Miss Sushang: "That may be so, but what if it harms innocent people?"

March 7th: "That's why our Express crew works tirelessly to save Penacony."

Stelle: "Mm-hmm, our Express crew is truly so great!!"

March 7th: "Ahem, keep it low-key, keep it low-key!"

The video continues.

March 7th began to lead the group to find Himeko.

【We just separated here... hmm, not far now!】

After walking for a short while,

March 7th looked at the familiar scenery around her,

and couldn't help but say to the few people beside her.

【So that's how it is... I really didn't expect to complete the remaining information here.】

【Hehe... to use Mr. Gallagher's catchphrase, it's fate playing tricks on people.】

Soon, the group arrived at Himeko's side,

and heard her conversation with a stranger.

【Himeko, I've brought them here!】

March 7th walked up to Himeko,

and greeted her directly.

【It seems everyone is here.】

【Just in time, meet Mr. Mikae, one of the people in charge of the place of exile.】

【Mr. Mikae, these are my companions.】

Himeko introduced Mikae to everyone.

【Mr. Welt, Miss March 7th, Miss Stelle... fellow Nameless, nice to meet you.】

Mikae knew them like the back of his hand,

calling out everyone's names.

Clearly, he was very well-informed about their identities.

【You know us?】

Seeing Mikae so familiar with them,

March 7th was suddenly a bit curious.

【From the day you stepped into Penacony, I have been paying attention to your movements.】

【Unfortunately, if the Dreamflux Reef and the twelve dreamscapes hadn't been isolated, we should have met in a more decent way.】

【Let's get to know each other formally. I am the Gravekeeper of the Dreamflux Reef, Mikae.】

After Mikae explained,

he began to solemnly introduce his identity to everyone.

【Gravekeeper...?】

Mikae's identity,

made March 7th feel puzzled.

【Life in the Dreamflux Reef is very free, and there's no organization to speak of.】

【Everyone lives their own lives, minding their own business...】

【All I can do... is just sweep a few tombstones at a fixed time every day.】

Speaking of tombstones,

a hint of melancholy appeared on Mikae's face.

【Mr. Mikae is too humble.】

【Whenever lost dream-seekers are brought here, it has always been Mr. Mikae who takes on the responsibility of the guardian, either sending them back to the Sweet Dream or teaching them how to survive in the chaotic dreamscape.】

Little Misha felt that Mikae's words,

were a bit too humble,

so he couldn't help but speak up.

【So he's a patriarch figure.】

Welt, after hearing Little Misha's words,

muttered in a low voice.

【Hmm? Mr. Welt, are you talking to me?】

Mikae heard Welt's muttering,

and was slightly stunned.

【...Hmm?】

Welt looked at Mikae's puzzled expression,

and was also stunned for a moment.
