Chapter 412: At the End of Life

The video continued.

【Train? Could it be...】

March 7th heard this,

and immediately understood.

【It's the Stelle Train.】

【I remember now—Mikhail's friends were a group of Nameless Guests.】

【They came to our world to resolve a disaster caused by a star.】

【Then Mikhail gave me his pocket watch.】

【It was his treasure, appearing in every tale of voyage.】

【He said the days ahead would be hard, but the watch's hands would show me the way.】

【As long as I kept taking that next step forward, I would surely reach where I wished to go.】

【Then, it seemed I heard...】

【The train's whistle, rising from the other side of the room...】

Little Misha murmured to herself,

as if recalling everything.

【Yes, Little Misha!】

【Then we followed the sound, didn't we?】

The Clock Boy chimed in happily.

【Yes, I should still be able to find that path.】

After saying this,

Little Misha led everyone to the puzzle in the room.

【This is the Dreamweave Puzzle, right?】

【Are we supposed to create the exit?】

【But where do we find the last puzzle piece now...?】

Looking at the missing piece on the puzzle,

March 7th struggled.

【Stelle, do you remember?】

【When you wandered in here, you picked up a mysterious fragment.】

At that moment,

Himeko thought for a while,

reminded Stelle.

【Fragment?】

【Let me look.】

Stelle nodded,

then began searching for the fragment.

After a moment,

she pulled out the fragment.

【Wow, the shape matches—so this fragment is also connected to Little Misha?】

March 7th stared closely,

and saw that the fragment Stelle had produced

matched the missing part of the puzzle exactly.

【The truth is almost clear.】

【Let's go to the other side of the exit and investigate.】

Himeko said,

and Stelle stepped forward to assemble the puzzle.

Then, a passage appeared before them.

March 7th: "Is this where Mikhail-senpai became a Nameless Guest?"

March 7th: "Because his homeland faced a Star Core crisis, he met the earlier crew members who came to resolve it."

March 7th: "And thus, he joined the Stelle Train and became a Nameless Guest..."

Himeko: "Sounds like the most common way our Stelle Train recruits new members." 050 Stelle: "Tsk tsk tsk—this is where the dream began!"

Stelle: "From then on, a young boy left home, and what awaited him...?"

Miss Qingque: "What?"

Miss Qingque: "Of course—this mess called Pinocony."

Miss Qingque: "I wonder if Mikhail regrets wasting his Yu Sheng here."

Fungina: "He won't."

Fungina: "Because... he's a Nameless Guest!"

The video continued.

Looking at the passage before them,

they did not hesitate,

and stepped into it.

Then they entered a brand-new room.

{This is it. }

{This...... is my clockwork room. }

{While waiting for Mikhail's voyage to return, Uncle Vald gave me this workshop, this toy room, my secret hideout......... }

{Here, I learned to repair springs and gears. I love precise machinery. I am the captain of the Luo Pan, and with my companions, the Clockwork Boy and the Mirror Young Lady, I search for new continents in my dreams. }

{I...... was born and raised here. }

Little Misha gazed at the familiar room,

her eyes filled with longing.

{So, this building in the dream bubble is your childhood home. }

Himeko understood somewhat.

{Yes, and no. }

{Perhaps it would be better to say....... }

{This dream bubble is my home. }

Navia: "The dream bubble is Little Misha's home?"

Navia: "What does that mean?"

Black Swan: "Hehe, literally."

Black Swan: "This scene alone proves that Little Misha herself was born from the dream bubble."

Black Swan: "That's quite interesting."

Furina: "Born from the dream bubble?"

Furina: "So Little Misha isn't even a real person right now?"

Gallagher: "The old man's gone. It's already a miracle that something barely resembling a soul remains—what else could you expect?"

Gallagher: "I never thought my offhand fiction would actually be true."

Guinaifen: "Are you saying, Gallagher Mr., that the Mikhail you made up turned into a ghost causing trouble?"

Stelle: "Exactly that."

Stelle: "True, she did become a ghost—but she never caused trouble."

Stelle: "She even worked diligently at the family's hotel!"

Silver Wolf: "Ha, working for your archenemy? That's something else."
