Chapter 39

"The possibility is very high!"

"Masked Fools can even lose their bottom line for the sake of fun."

"If she really is a Masked Fool, then the danger is extremely high!"

"Therefore, Stelle must never be allowed to contact her!"

Himeko nodded, her expression somewhat solemn.

Welt: "Miss Sparkle, you disguised yourself as Sampo to approach Stelle, what is your purpose?"

Sparkle: "I say, don't you guys go around accusing people."

Sparkle: "The one who disguised as Sampo was me in the video, what does that have to do with me in reality?"

Sparkle: "Little gray-hair, tell me, have I cheated you now?"

Stelle: "Not yet."

Sparkle: "Then that’s it, I clearly haven't done anything yet... and I’ve been called a bad person by you guys... wuwu~ (Grieved.jpg)"

Himeko: "Since Miss Sparkle hasn't done it yet, then I hope you never do it again in the future!"

Sparkle: "Alright alright, really, can't I just want to find some fun~"

Sparkle: "Now that there is better fun, I naturally won't go looking for the boring little gray-hair anymore."

Dan Heng: "I hope you keep your word, Fool!"

Sparkle: "Yo, my identity has been recognized, so scary~"

Furina: "That.. should everyone stop arguing? How about continuing to watch the video?"

Sampo: "That’s right, harmony is precious, guys."

Boothill: "Hey, the smell of gunpowder here is really strong."

Stelle: "Fine, truce for now, take a break, watch the video for a while and then continue spraying."

In the video.

[Sampo... what exactly does he mean? Is Firefly hiding something?]

[I have to get an explanation from her. Let’s find her first. She shouldn't have gone too far......]

After Stelle pondered in place for a while,

she felt that she should go find Firefly,

and ask for the truth.

So she began to search nearby.

A few minutes later, she found Firefly standing there in a daze around a flower bed.

And Firefly at this moment,

also discovered Stelle’s arrival,

but she didn't know how to speak,

so she just turned to the side, pretending she didn't see Stelle.

Stelle saw this, and didn't speak,

just waited quietly.

Finally, after a long while.

Firefly couldn't help it first,

turned her head, and began to talk to Stelle.

[I’m sorry....] Firefly’s voice was a bit low, and a bit guilty.

[I need the truth. Tell me, okay?]

Stelle said in a gentle tone.

[Hmm...] Firefly’s voice was like a mosquito.

[I... I did hide some things from you.....]

[Like I’m indeed not a local, the Hound family chasing me is not without reason... there are some other reasons for traveling with you.....]

[....but.. thank you for helping me, that’s true!]

[Longing for the Nameless is also true, you have been to many worlds, can see all kinds of people and things, every day is a brand new beginning......]

Firefly looked at Stelle, her eyes gentle, her tone sincere.

[If you are willing, you can also board the train.] Stelle explained.

[....]

[I want to take you to another place, can I? This time it’s not a tourist attraction, on the contrary.... it probably counts as my secret base.]

[There, I will tell you everything I know... as much as I can.]

Firefly skipped the topic of boarding the train,

and instead said in an expectant tone.

[Okay, I believe you.]

Although Firefly looked full of doubts.

But for some reason, Stelle just felt that the other party would not harm her.

This feeling came from nowhere, even she didn't know why.

It was as if the other party was already a long-acquainted, trustworthy friend, that’s all.

[Thank you....]

Stelle’s unreserved belief,

made Firefly somewhat moved.

"I didn't expect Miss Firefly’s identity to really be just a disguise."

In the carriage, March 7th looked at the scene in the video,

her expression somewhat disappointed.

"I saw that a long time ago."

"She approached me with some purpose."

Stelle was not surprised by this.

"Then why are you so close to her?"

March 7th couldn't understand what Stelle was thinking.

"You might not believe it if I say it."

"Firefly.. always gives me a familiar feeling."

"This feeling makes me trust her especially."

"Anyway, I don't think she would really be detrimental to me."

"Just like I said before, perhaps, she has some difficulties."

Stelle rarely became serious,

and explained a few words to March 7th.

"Although it’s just a result based on your intuition."

"But I believe you."

"Because, I also have a feeling... this Miss Firefly.. is not a great evil person."

"On the contrary, she might be a very remarkable girl."

Furina: "Even Miss Firefly’s identity is fabricated."

Furina: "My god, is there any truth left in this Penacony?"

Paimon: "Where did the trust between people go? Where did it run to?"

Lumine: "Uh... although Miss Firefly hid some truth. But I see her feelings for Miss Stelle are also true."

Lumine: "She really cares about Miss Stelle, just like a long-acquainted close friend."

Firefly: "Maybe you don't believe it... but I really don't have any malice......"

Scaramouche: "Hehe, you say you don't have it, so you don't? Who knows what you are planning?"

Scaramouche: "Deliberately pretending to have a weak appearance to win the sympathy of a fool, isn't this the best strategy?"

Stelle: "Who are you calling a fool? You stupid thing, say it again if you dare!"

Scaramouche: "Whoever takes my words is the fool."

Stelle: "Boothill, come out and manage your dog, it’s started biting people randomly!"

Boothill: "Aiya, Miss, I’m so sorry. I didn't watch it, and let my Scara-dog slip out. I apologize to you!"

Boothill: "I’m taking it for a walk home!"

Boothill: "My good Scara-baby, stop barking like a dog here, why don't you follow your master home?"

Furina: "So.... so aggressive!"

Scaramouche: "Boothill!!! You’re looking for death!!"

Boothill: "Tsk tsk tsk, a dog that bites its master is not a good dog!"

Scaramouche: "I swear, I will definitely make you die without a burial place!!"

Boothill: "Good! Bark well!! Bark a few more times for the master to hear?"

After Boothill finished this sentence, Scaramouche didn't speak anymore.

Boothill: "Sigh, boring, I wanted to hear you bark a few more times."

In the video.

Firefly began to take Stelle to her secret base.

[Let’s go this way...]

Firefly took Stelle to the right side of the main road.

Began to walk along this path.

[...eh? Is there something... calling for help there?]

Stelle and Firefly were walking,

when suddenly they discovered that not far ahead,

there was a strange creature shouting for help.

[Tick-tock! Help! Help!]

[Someone’s going to die! Someone come!]

The urgent call for help kept coming,

accompanied by the sound of an alarm clock.

[What kind of... thing are you?]

Stelle walked over, looked at this creature,

and felt it was a bit strange.

[Hey! I’m a clock, not some thing!]

[Hey, wait—you.. can see me?]

The clock-like creature was suddenly very surprised.

[...what’s the matter?]

Firefly saw Stelle suddenly stop in place,

somewhat puzzled.

[I see a... clock with hands and feet.]

Stelle looked at this magical clock creature,

and explained to Firefly.

[Could it be... you can really see me?]

[Tick-tock! That’s great! That’s great! Little Misha is saved!]

Hearing Stelle say this, the clock creature became even more excited.

[Oh, sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet!]

[My name is Clockie, I’m a big star in the dream town Penacony!]

[I guard the peace of this town with my friends!]

[My friends are—Hanu brother, Mr. Soda, Origami Bird, Hamster Ball Knight.....]

[And Little Misha! Little Misha is in danger! —Tick-tock! Help! Help!]

Speaking of Little Misha, Clockie started ringing its bell non-stop again.
