Chapter 40: Clockie can only be seen by those who are straightforward, innocent, and have a childlike heart

~7 min read 1,250 words

In the video.

[A talking clock.]

[I must be crazy!]

Stelle looked at Clockie’s incessant speech,

and felt it was a bit outrageous.

[A talking clock?]

[.....Clockie?]

[You mean..... you see an animated character that doesn't exist in reality?]

Firefly listened to Stelle’s muttering,

and was suddenly full of surprise.

[You can’t see it??]

Stelle scratched the back of her head, somewhat puzzled,

this Clockie was clearly standing right in front of them,

why didn't Firefly discover it?

[Uh.... where?? I can’t see it.....]

Firefly observed the surroundings seriously,

but found nothing.

[Tick-tock! I guess, only children who are straightforward, innocent, and have a childlike heart can see me!]

[Just like this gray friend!]

Clockie heard Firefly’s words,

and then explained to Stelle.

[Clockie says you are not straightforward, innocent, or have a childlike heart enough.]

[So you can’t see it.]

Stelle relayed Clockie’s words to Firefly.

[Uh.... where am I not straightforward, innocent, or have a childlike heart.....!]

Firefly felt her heart was stabbed, and her tone sounded somewhat aggrieved.

[Tick-tock, tick-tock! Gray friend! Since you can see me, you must be able to do me a favor!]

[My good friend Little Misha, he is in trouble! Please, save him!]

[Otherwise someone is going to die!]

Clockie began to beg Stelle for help.

[It says someone is going to die!!]

Stelle thoughtfully conveyed Clockie’s words to Firefly.

[Eh... is it that serious...?]

Firefly was stunned after hearing it.

[Then do you want to go help this... uh... Clockie that only you can see first?]

Firefly asked.

[I don't doubt you, after all, anything can happen in a dream... the place I mentioned, it’s fine to go later......]

After Firefly finished the previous sentence,

she felt it was a bit inappropriate, so she explained again.

[Tick-tock, tick-tock! Keep up, keep up, gray friend!]

[Little Misha is in danger! He is right there, I will take you there!]

Clockie shouted a few times at Stelle,

and walked away quickly.

[The name Little Misha is so concerning... let’s go see what happened first.]

Stelle didn't forget Little Misha,

so she thought about it and decided to follow Clockie to see what happened first.

So she pulled Firefly,

and followed Clockie together.

Amber: "Wow! Clockie actually came alive!"

Amber: "This is too magical!"

Collei: "From a fairy tale cartoon character to a real existence, this is really romantic!"

Hu Tao: "After all, it’s a dream, anything is possible!"

Lumine: "By the way, there are conditions to see Clockie?"

Lumine: "Must be someone who is straightforward, innocent, and has a childlike heart?"

Paimon: "Uh..... this condition, why does it feel like the Aranara."

Venti: "Ehehe, so Miss Stelle has a childlike heart?"

Stelle: "After all, I’m just a baby, of course I have a childlike heart."

Firefly: "But... but I think I have a childlike heart too... but why can't I see Clockie? (Sad.jpg)"

Silver Wolf: "Maybe your childlike heart is too strong."

March 7th: "Miss Firefly, don't mind it, haven't you noticed?"

March 7th: "It seems that except for Stelle, no one else can see Clockie. Oh, Little Misha should be able to see it too."

Furina: "And the origami bird from before, it seems only Miss Stelle can see it."

Himeko: "Perhaps... this is something only specific people can see?"

Welt: "Then what is the origin of this Clockie?"

Stelle: "Bad, analyzing it like this, I feel like there’s a bit more conspiracy flavor."

Stelle: "Could it be that even Clockie wants to scheme against me?"

Stelle: "Am I that popular with bad guys?"

Fu Xuan: "After all, you are unique, having such an honor is also reasonable."

Stelle: "I’d rather not have this kind of honor!"

In the video.

[Fast, fast! Be as fast as the Hamster Ball Knight!]

Clockie seemed very urgent.

[Eh, there are so many people there, it seems something really happened.....]

From far away, Firefly saw a large group of people gathered ahead.

[Tick-tock! That’s it, that’s it! Clockie doesn't brag!]

Clockie pointed directly ahead, its expression excited.

Then it took the two of them forward quickly.

[Everyone, please calm down......]

Stelle and Firefly just walked up,

and saw Little Misha negotiating with a group of people in black suits ahead.

[You guy who doesn't know the rules, watch how I deal with you!]

The man in the black suit who was the leader was a gang boss,

he looked at the woman next to Little Misha, his tone very impolite.

[Alright! Boss! Teach her a good lesson!!]

The gang members started to fan the flames!

[How could this be......]

The woman next to Little Misha was actually Acheron,

she looked at the scene in front of her,

her expression very helpless.

[Good guy, how are these all acquaintances??]

Behind the gang members,

Stelle looked at this scene,

somewhat surprised.

[Eh? What does "all" mean....?]

Firefly was a bit puzzled,

she clearly saw a woman,

why use the word "all"?

[Oh, look, look! I didn't lie! Little Misha is in danger!]

[Tick-tock! Please, gray friend! Help Little Misha!]

At this moment, Clockie started begging for Stelle’s help again.

[My baseball bat can’t wait!!]

Stelle nodded,

and prepared to pull out her incredibly hard big bat!

[But the efficiency of the baseball bat is too low.... ah no!!]

[I mean, we can’t solve problems in such a violent way.....]

Firefly heard Stelle wanted to use the baseball bat,

and subconsciously wanted to refute it.

But thinking that she was just an ordinary girl now,

she hurriedly changed her words.

[Tick-tock, tick-tock! The scene has become so chaotic, it’s all Boss Stone’s fault!]

[Boss Stone is the worst bad guy in Dreamville—he is a greedy ghost, wanting to drive away the residents of Dreamville and monopolize the precious stone materials....]

[So, he instructed his subordinates to stir up the dreamscape and drain everyone’s good emotions!]

[Dreamville has been full of anxiety and strife ever since, everyone is no longer a family!]

Clockie suddenly started cursing Boss Stone angrily.

[But! As the guardian of Dreamville, Clockie cannot sit idly by!]

[As long as you use the Clock Trick to let the good emotions flowing in the dreamscape return to people’s hearts, everyone will definitely be able to make up!]

[Come on, gray friend! I have a premonition that you will definitely be able to learn the Clock Trick, after all, you are special enough to see me!]

[And you are a guest of Dreamville, Boss Stone didn't expect your existence! If you take action, that big bad guy will definitely be caught off guard!]

Clockie changed the subject,

wanting to teach Stelle the magical Clock Trick.

[Why don't you do it yourself? And you want me to learn?]

Stelle scratched her head, puzzled.

[I can’t use the Clock Trick by myself, because they can’t see me!]

[So please, close your eyes—]

Clockie explained,

and let Stelle cooperate by closing her eyes.

Stelle nodded and started to do so.

[Tick-tock! Now we are one in body and mind, do you feel the power flowing in your body!]

[Come on, now go find that angry gang boss—cast the Clock Trick, pour all the good emotions in, bang, mission accomplished!]

[Must remember; absolutely cannot use the Clock Trick to do bad things—we are the guardians of Dreamville, tick-tock!]

After Clockie taught Stelle the Clock Trick,

and explained some precautions,

it took Stelle and Firefly to the side of the gang boss.

[Little girl, get out of the way, don't get in the way!]
