Chapter 406

【May I ask, is this...?】

At this moment, Little Misha looked around at the surroundings,

somewhat bewildered.

【Do you recognize this place, Little Misha?】

Himeko watched Little Misha's expression,

and asked.

【I... can't quite say.】

【But it feels strangely familiar.】

【Where is this?】

Little Misha felt this place was familiar,

yet he could not recall anything specific.

【This is a dream bubble; our consciousness has entered it.】

【It was a gift left by an anonymous guest for the Stellaris Express, but strangely, when we opened it, we found nothing inside.】

【Doctor Edward from the Dream Vendor's Shop told me that dreams are formed from memories; if the core is empty, a dream bubble cannot form.】

【So I thought, as the hotel doorman and the Stellaris Express's friend who knows Penacony best, Little Misha, you should be able to help us unravel this mystery?】

Himeko explained.

【Hmm, I don't know much about dream bubbles.】

【But if everyone wants to figure out what this big house is... I'll do my best!】

Little Misha promised.

【Then we're counting on you.】

Himeko nodded.

【Sister Himeko... I'm still confused—why are you so sure Little Misha is connected to this dream bubble?】

March 7th suddenly asked curiously.

【I can't be certain, only have some suspicions.】

【But since Little Misha feels familiar with this place... it suggests my suspicion may be right.】

Xiangling: "Little Misha?"

Xiangling: "Hmm... could it be that Little Misha is truly Mikhail's descendant?"

Paimon: "It feels similar—maybe he's Mikhail the Elder's grandson?"

Paimon: "But if Mikhail the Elder left behind a grandson, where are his son or daughter?"

Furina: "With Penacony this chaotic, they may have already perished."

Himeko: "Grandson?"

Himeko: "I don't think so."

Himeko: "This Little Misha always gives me a strange feeling."

Himeko: "Perhaps his true identity will be astonishing."

Stelle: "In short, he must be connected to Mikhail."

Stelle: "That's definitely it."

The video continued.

【This scene feels familiar...】

Stelle looked at the scene,

feeling a sense of déjà vu.

【That's right—you and Miss Flycatcher met death here—now it should be called slumber.】

【Given its connection to Dreamer's Reef, its appearance here isn't hard to understand.】

【The question now is: who brought you here?】

【Based on current clues, it likely wasn't the Fool—so who it was becomes critical.】

【We are once again drawing close to the core of the truth.】

【Give Little Misha some time—he will surely uncover the secret of the dream bubble.】

After saying a few words,

Himeko looked at Little Misha.

【Alright.】

【But there are doors everywhere—which one should we exit through...?】

【Little Misha, do you know?】

March 7th also looked at Little Misha.

【Hmm, I think... maybe this way?】

Little Misha, relying on instinct,

chose a door,

and walked toward it.

Stelle: "Damn, now I get why this place feels so familiar."

Stelle: "It's the room where I fought Flycatcher and Sleepy."

Stelle: "Poor Sleepy—got beaten up by the Black Swan right here."

Furina: "Uh... I just thought of something."

Funingna: "If Miss Black Swan hadn't intervened, wouldn't Miss Star have discovered the truth sooner?"

Funingna: "Then none of the events that followed would have happened."

Star: "You're right—this time, Miss Black Swan meant well but messed things up."

Star: "She could've just let me and Yingbao die here together—we'd already have cleared it by now."

Flowing Fire: "D-Die together??"

Flowing Fire: "(blushing. jpg)"

Silver Wolf: "What are you blushing for?"

Black Swan: "Oh dear, although I'm a Rememberer, I still can't glimpse the memory of the meme."

Black Swan: "So who could've guessed that a terrifying memetic realm was just a harmless mode of transportation?"

Fluorescence: "Indeed, only Mr. Gallagher could've turned something so terrifying into a vehicle."

Gallagher: "Sorry, my craftsmanship isn't great—I could only shape it like this."

Gallagher: "Maybe if a more artistic fictional historian had done it, they could've made something prettier for you?"

Gallagher: "But I think as long as it works, how it looks doesn't matter."

Gallagher: "You get used to it after a while."

Paimon: "Hmm… you know, you're not wrong."

Paimon: "Ever since I learned its name is Mianmian, it actually looks much more pleasant."

Paimon: "I even think it's kind of cute…"

Paimon: "Is… is my perception broken?"

Amber: "No, your perception is fine."

Amber: "Because I feel the same way."

March 7th: "Hehe, a good name adds bonus points!"

March 7th: "If you call it 'Death,' everyone fears it like a venomous snake."

March 7th: "But once you hear its nickname, 'Mianmian,' no one's afraid anymore."

Potio: "Hey, you know what? If you could ride it, that thing would be seriously cool."

Potio: "Too bad it only exists in dreams."

Potio: "Otherwise, I'd totally get one as a mount."

The video continues.

【I'm not sure, but… let's give it a try.】

Little Misha pushed open the door,

then led everyone inside.
