Chapter 203: A truly just world should grant every person the right to choose

Stelle: "Alright, alright, so there are tragedies in dreams too, huh?"

Stelle: "This really is getting closer and closer to reality!"

Stelle: "Does the Family think this is funny or something?"

March 7th: "Even in dreams you have to follow the laws of physics....."

March 7th: "I've long felt this was basically just a copy of the real world."

March 7th: "On the contrary, that bizarre place you fell into before, Stelle, fits the Dreamscape World much better."

March 7th: "Although it was riddled with dangers and a nightmare, at least it matched the strange and wondrous nature of the dreamscape!"

March 7th: "On the flip side, most of the things done in the Sweetdream Paradise of Penacony... could also be done in the real world, it seems?"

Silver Wolf: "It's because the Family's Dreamweavers don't even have a shred of imagination."

Silver Wolf: "It's the Dreamscape World, yet people still have to walk on the ground, and the houses are built exactly like in reality."

Silver Wolf: "Tell me, does your Family really not even know how to dream?"

Silver Wolf: "Could you try using a little imagination?"

Silver Wolf: "I feel like any random three-year-old could create a better dreamscape than you guys."

Hook: "Let me do it, let me do it! I have lots of fun ideas, I can definitely create better and more interesting Sweetdream Paradises!"

Klee: "Klee can help too, I have ideas too~"

Fischl: "Such a wonderful place—if used to recreate Her Highness's Noble Phantasm of the Night, it would surely astonish many people, wouldn't it?"

Paimon: "As for Paimon, I feel like I'd create a dreamscape moment full of delicious food!"

Paimon: "Hey, I've even thought of a name: Full Tummy Moment! Hehe."

Miss Qingque: "Actually, when you think about it, the most distinctive dreamscape was actually the dream bubble full of trashcan people that Miss Sparkle pulled out when she disguised herself as Mr. Sampo."

Stelle: "I agree with that."

Stelle: "Trashcans coming to life—I really did dream about that once."

Topaz: "Tsk tsk tsk, the Family's authority over Sweetdream Paradise has now been completely denied."

Topaz: "It seems your Family's understanding regarding the dreamscape isn't all that great either."

Pela: "Could it be that the highly-paid Dreamweavers the Family recruited are actually just a bunch of...."

Miss Sushang: "Wineskins and rice bags? That's the phrase, right?"

Stelle: "Ahem, Miss Sushang, your cultural standards are still so down-to-earth—I'm very gratified."

Huohuo: ".... M-Miss Sushang.... that phrase is... 'winesack and ricebag.'"

Miss Sushang: "Aiya, isn't it pretty much the same?"

Miss Sushang: "They all mean the same thing!"

Bronya: "Perhaps that isn't the case."

Bronya: "The clan's dreamscape follows the physical laws of the real world."

Bronya: "So the Dreamweavers they recruit should actually be about the same as master architects in the real world....."

Sampo: "Can't figure it out—why is the Family so attached to the characteristics of the real world?"

Sampo: "Can't they design the dreamscape to be a bit more thrilling? A bit more fantastical? And a bit more delightful?"

Sparkle: "What do you know?"

Sparkle: "Maybe it's because the Family can't hold absolute sway in reality, so they imitated reality to create a Sweetdream Paradise, wanting to act as gods high above, dominating all living things within it?"

Zhong Li: "An interesting theory....."

Sunday: "Miss Fool, I hope you can rein yourself in a little when you speak."

Sunday: "Do not slander the Family at will."

Sunday: "Otherwise, when the radiance of Harmony shines down, you will pay the price for your words and deeds!"

Sparkle: "Eiya, the chicken-wing boy is mad~"

Sparkle: "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more~"

Sparkle: "Don't hurt yourself getting so worked up, okay.... hehe~"

【A regrettable story.】

【Sweetdream Paradise is not entirely as one wishes either.】

【Then for the final question.】

【The moment of dusk—the dreamscape of fashion, luxury, and consumerism—my companions also visited that place.....】

【What were Miss Huang Quan's impressions of it?】

Welt asked regarding the final moment of interest.

【You must have seen people there, whether chasing their dreams or having already achieved them, squandering money and staking everything on a single throw.】

【Everything can be bought and sold—even dreams themselves.】

【I see a mech there; the lot he prepared was himself.】

【Once someone won the bid, under the agreed deadline and rules, he would carry out every instruction of the buyer, becoming that person's absolute property.】

【That mech was auctioned a total of twelve times; I attended his thirteenth auction.】

【That was the most bustling feast I had ever seen, but no one ever cast their eyes upon him again.........】

【This time, he went unsold......】

Stelle: "What kind of slave market is this?"

Stelle: "How outrageous is this auction house?"

Stelle: "They sell anything?"

March 7th: "Not really, that's a bit of an exaggeration."

Hu Tao: "Definitely exaggerated."

Hu Tao: "There are some things you can't buy no matter how rich you are."

Xiangling: "Like lifespan... I feel like no matter how much money you have, you can't buy that."

Boothill: "And the status of a Emanator!"

Boothill: "No matter how much stinky money you have, even enough to buy the entire universe, what's the use?"

Boothill: "You still can't become a Emanator, can you?"

Boothill: "After all, those Aeons don't care whether you have money or not."

Topaz: "It's just an ordinary auction house, it's just built in the dreamscape, so it seems special."

Furina: "Then according to what Miss Huang Quan said, didn't that whatever mechanical being become a slave twelve times?"

Furina: "And we don't even know how long each time is..."

Alhaitham: "But he did it voluntarily, so all I can say is, respect and blessings!"

Stelle: "But he got passed over this time, doesn't that mean people got tired of him?"

March 7th: "Ew... I think you used that word in the wrong context?"

Silver Wolf: "Exactly, 'played with' would be even more vivid."

Firefly: "???"

Stelle: "Ah... you guys with impure minds!"

Stelle: "What I meant is, this mechanical being got passed over this time, which clearly means these people have all lost interest in him!"

Ying: "Still feels kinda off..."

The video continues.

【This is but a shallow account of what I have seen along the way.......】

【Someone once said this to me: Penacony was not like this long ago, and Penacony should not be like this.】

【I walked through the reality and the dreamscape of the Festive Star, watching the night rise and fall, time pausing for people, while the richness and poverty of the spirit.......】

【Also forever remain at their own respective marks.】
