Chapter 287

A Pippi looked at the news,

and could not help exclaiming.

【Excuse me, are you referring to the incident at Clockwork Studios Theme Park?】

Suddenly, an elegant, pleasant voice

sounded in this Pippi's ear.

【Mm? Yes, that's right, what's the..... M-Miss Robin?!】

【I'm not seeing things, am I?】

This Pippi turned at the sound,

and saw the great star Robin.

This left him utterly shocked.

【Hehe, don't be nervous.】

【I'm very sorry for bringing such an unpleasant experience to your lovely dream journey.】

【The chips you just mentioned have caught my attention — could you trouble me with more details?】

Robin's voice was very gentle.

【Oh.】

【It's.... those common chips, all colorful, tumbling down like rain.】

The Pippi thought for a moment,

then answered quickly.

【And then those chips just vanished, right?】

【Mm, it seems...... this is the dream-simulation technology the Iris family has been preparing for a long time.】

Robin nodded,

and her tone began to grow a little odd.

【Eh?】

【Miss Robin, you mean...... those chips were all part of the show?】

【But I clearly—】

This Pippi did not notice anything off about Robin's tone;

listening to Robin's words,

he only wanted to reflexively protest.

【Shh — this technology hasn't been revealed yet. It was originally meant to debut at the Grand Harmony Rite, but it leaked by accident.】

【Could you help me keep this secret?】

【Because this dreamlike shower of chips...... was originally meant to be used in my performance.】

Before the Pippi could finish,

Robin immediately followed up with an explanation.

【O-oh, so that's how it is!】

【Then it all makes sense. As long as it helps the Grand Harmony Rite go smoothly, I'll give you my full cooperation!】

After hearing Robin's explanation,

this Pippi immediately thumped his chest and vowed.

【Thank you!】

【As an exchange, let me give you a small gift.】

Robin took out a delicate little button.

She handed it to the Pippi.

【This button is......】

The Pippi looked at the button,

somewhat puzzled.

【Press it at some moment during the rite, and there just might be a surprise.】

【Well then, it seems other guests are troubled too. I must take my leave — enjoy the rest of this patch of dreamscape.】

Stelle: "This Robin talks in such a flowery, roundabout way!"

Stelle: "One look and you can tell it's Sparkle in disguise!"

Furina: "Miss Sparkle is impersonating Miss Robin again — don't you ever get tired of it?"

Sparkle: "Why would I be tired?"

Sparkle: "Having fun is naturally a very happy thing, you know."

Hu Tao: "This button..... I remember it's called something like....."

Hu Tao: "The Mutual Assured Destruction Button?"

Hu Tao: "That's the name, right?"

Hu Tao: "According to Miss Sparkle, if you press this button, it can blow Penacony sky-high?"

Paimon: "So Miss Sparkle is going to hand out bombs all over the streets now?!"

Paimon: "That kind of behavior is terrifying!"

March 7th: "The key question is, is this thing even real?"

March 7th: "It looks just like a toy — it's hard to believe!"

Sparkle: "Don't rush, now.... real or not, you'll find out when the time comes~"

Himeko: "It seems the commotion at Klaus Film Park this time was truly significant—every citizen in Golden Hour saw it."

Goldsand: "But it's useless."

Goldsand: "For the family, quelling this uproar is effortless."

Goldsand: "After all, it's within the dreamscape—anything can happen; the excuses are countless."

Kamisato Ayaka: "That's true."

Kamisato Ayaka: "Just like in the video—Young Lady Hua Huo made up some excuse, and this Pipi Xi believed it."

Miss Qingque: "After all, it's the family's territory—monopolizing power isn't just talk..."

The video continues.

【So many people are talking—the 557 disturbance at the film park was truly massive....】

The disguised Robin mumbled a few words,

then continued calming the crowd and distributing her small gifts.

【The family promised to guarantee guests' safety within the dreamscape.】

【But I saw a group of organic lifeforms enter the film park—soon after, the sky was torn open, and black rain seeped from the void.】

【The family must provide a reasonable explanation; otherwise, I will immediately return to reality with my beloved.】

【If the dreamscape is no longer a paradise, staying here holds no meaning.】

Robin walked on,

heard the words of a Sentient,

and immediately went over to him.

【It seems this Mr. has witnessed many scenes—there truly were uninvited guests who infiltrated the dreamscape.】

【But their target was not ordinary guests, but the company's envoys.】

【The family will certainly prioritize the safety of its guests.】

Robin explained to this Sentient in a sincere tone.

【Ah... Miss Robin.】

【I know the Hound lineage has sealed off the film park, and I trust the family can control the situation—but that changes nothing.】

【The family may do whatever it takes to protect its reputation, but as a guest, I refuse to risk my life.】

The Sentient could not accept Robin's words.

【But as you can see, Mr., no innocent civilians were affected in this incident.】

【The dreamscape may not be as perfect as promised, but no place is safer than the family's well-governed dream—surely you understand this better than I do.】

【Ask yourself—if such an incident occurred in reality, how many could escape unharmed?】

Robin's words were reasonable and convincing.
