Chapter 413

Robin: "No wonder I have no impression of this Little Misha little brother — turns out he.... wasn't actually real to begin with......"

The video continued.

【It seems you've already remembered everything.】

Himeko nodded,

knowing the moment had finally come for the truth to be completely revealed.

【Wait, wait, wait — what's with this feeling that everyone except me is somehow on the same wavelength?】

March 7th looked at the unspoken understanding filling the scene,

still a bit confused.

【That's right — you're the only one still kept in the dark.】

Stelle cracked a joke at March 7th's expense.

Stelle: "March, look at that dumbfounded look on your face."

Stelle: "It's about to be laid out in the open and you still haven't caught on?"

March 7th: "Wh—who hasn't caught on?!"

March 7th: "Isn't this just 'the player is too close to see the board'?"

March 7th: "Look at me now — I'm not confused at all, am I?"

Paimon: "Mmm.... I can understand Young Lady March 7th's feelings."

Paimon: "If it were Paimon in her place, I'd probably be dizzy and muddled too, unable to make sense of the situation."

Lumine: "Young Lady March 7th must have been startled by this whole string of news."

Lumine: "That's why she didn't react right away."

Furina: "We've gotten way too much information from the video, and on top of that we've been able to discuss it — that's why our analysis is more accurate."

Furina: "But if you had to figure things out bit by bit on your own like Young Lady March 7th and the others in the video, you'd definitely end up completely turned around too."

March 7th: "Exactly!"

March 7th: "You guys really know how to be considerate!"

The video continued.

【Little March, do you still remember what Stelle mentioned earlier — that there's a little clock guy only she can see?】

Seeing that March 7th still couldn't grasp the situation,

Himeko immediately fired back with a question.

【Of course I remember — isn't that the one right over there?】

【But in Penacony, didn't we all see it? Uncle Yang even said hello to it.】

Hearing this,

March 7th looked over at the grinning little clock guy beside her.

【It seems everyone on the Astral Express is wonderfully childlike at heart!】

The little clock guy said cheerfully.

【The answer is the Astral Express.】

【Stelle's experience proves that at least Young Lady Firefly and Huang Quan couldn't see this little clock guy.】

【And in Penacony — did anyone notice that everyone outside the Express crew....... subtly never had any interaction with it at all?】

Himeko laid out a crucial discovery.

【I noticed it too.】

Stelle nodded,

indicating she had noticed this detail as well.

【A memetic lifeform only visible to a specific group of people — it's almost like...... a secret message someone left for the Nameless.】i).

Firefly: "Huh???"

Firefly: "So the reason I can't see the little clock guy isn't because I'm not pure, frank, or childlike enough?"

Firefly: "But rather..... only members of the Express crew can see it?"

Firefly: "Mmm..... well, that puts my mind at ease."

Stelle: "What kind of high-tech encrypted lifeform is this."

Stelle: "Only a specific group of people can see it?"

Stelle: "Old man Mikhail's methods are pretty out there, huh?"

March 7th: "So.... this little clock guy is actually the legacy Senior Mikhail left for us?"

Himeko: "I think..... it's probably only part of it."

Welt: "This little clock guy's abilities are no simple matter — Stelle's Clock Tricks have already proven that."

Welt: "But what exactly is this ability?"

Welt: "And why did Mikhail create a little clock guy in the first place?"

Welt: "Hopefully, we'll get the answers to these puzzles as we go on."

The video continued.

【But by that logic, couldn't Little Misha see the little clock guy too?】

【They were even childhood companions who grew up together, yet Misha hasn't yet set foot on the Path of Trailblaze......】

March 7th still hadn't caught on.

【That's the key to the answer, Little March.】

【Now, try once more to recall.........】

【Like the Clockwork Boy, have you ever seen anyone outside the train group interact with Little Misha?】

Himeko prompted again.

【......】

【No way.....】

March 7th finally understood,

and couldn't help letting out a cry of surprise.

【The answer is exactly that, Young Lady Yueqi.】

【This dream bubble was my cradle; I...... am a dreamer no different from the Memory Domain's meme.】

【I was meant to remain inside the dream bubble, waiting for your arrival, but reality and memory overlapped, causing me to unconsciously push open the door and leave here with the Clockwork Boy.】

Little Misha explained.

【So the dream bubble left behind by the Clockmaker is empty—not because it had no content, but because...... its content left on its own?】

【The whistle you heard—that was the train arriving at Pinoconny?】

Miss Qingque: "Things inside the dream bubble grew legs and ran away....."

Miss Qingque: "Hey, that's ridiculous!"

Stelle: "Then why can't those trash-bin people escape from the dream bubble?"

Stelle: "If they could escape too, that would be amazing!!"

Hua Huo: "Hey, Little Grayhair, I can tell you're still obsessed with my dream bubble~"

Hua Huo: "How about I make you a brand-new trash-bin dream bubble next time?"

Hua Huo: "Guaranteed to be thrilling~"

Stelle: "Hua Dao, I have to say—you get me!"

Stelle: "I love trash bins!!"

Stelle: "Of course, if there were more golden trash, that'd be even better!"

Stelle: "But one thing—I never want to see that disgusting, arrogant face of Sangbo again!"

Sangbo: "Aw, sis, you saying that really breaks old Sangbo's heart!"

Stelle: "Laughable—you're a Masked Fool, and you get hurt?"

Stelle: "If you could actually feel hurt, Aha would laugh out loud!"

Sangbo: "Ah, this...."

Hua Huo: "Make a Masked Fool feel hurt?"

Hua Huo: "Brilliant—that's a great idea~"

Sangbo: "?"
