Chapter 621

March 7th looked at the statue,

feeling a little puzzled.

【It seems this is the final puzzle Mr. Gallagher left for us.】

【In the end, we still don't know his true form, nor can we tell whether he is a living, breathing person.】

March 7th: "Ah! Really didn't expect this!"

March 7th: "Mr. Gallagher even left us traces!"

Stelle: "A hound statue guarding a tombstone?"

Stelle: "He really stayed true to his roots."

Furina: "So, Mr. Gallagher, are you actually a real person or not?"

Furina: "Or rather, can a fictional person be called a real person?"

Gallagher: "Hahaha, does it really matter?"

Gallagher: "Reality is sometimes just an appearance."

Gallagher: "Thinking about this question would actually be quite boring."

Stelle: "In my eyes, Gallagher is real."

Stelle: "Because his feelings are real, his attachment to Penacony is real, his longing for old friends like Mikhail is real."

Stelle: "These sincere feelings can never be faked!"

Lumine: "Real emotions built Mr. Gallagher's undeniably real soul."

Lumine: "So without a doubt, he is a living, breathing person!"

Furina: "Hehe, now that you put it that way, I get it."

Furina: "No matter what Mr. Gallagher's true identity is, in our eyes, he will always be Gallagher!"

The video continues.

【How should I put it, this uncle truly lives up to his title as a fictional historian. I suddenly remembered he also said in the Dreamflux Filmland that he was only thirteen years old—could that also have been a hint?】

【But not everything can be explained by mystery...】

【At the very least, our journey together in Penacony was real, and his loyalty and love for this land...】

【must also be real, right?】

【Gallagher, I salute you, slumbering hound—】

【—a toast to the banquet's invitation, all the lies, and the one truth...】

【... if we get the chance to meet again, please don't speak in such riddles.】

Gallagher: "Hahahaha, didn't expect this farewell tribute to include me too."

Gallagher: "Alright, Young Lady March 7th's opinion has been received."

Gallagher: "Next time I speak, I'll definitely satisfy you."

Stelle: "Don't, then it wouldn't be your style!"

Stelle: "Now I actually love hearing things that are harder to understand even more!"

Stelle: "Tsk tsk tsk, maybe I should learn how to speak in riddles too."

Stelle: "Sometimes, it's really cool like this!"

March 7th: "Cool?"

March 7th: "Don't you know that behavior like that only makes people want to beat you up badly?"

Stelle: "Beat me up? Get physical?"

Stelle: "Great!"

Stelle: "That's exactly the effect I want!"

Stelle: "That way I can whip out my bat and beat him up badly!"

Paimon: "So can we see Mr. Gallagher again?"

Paimon: "Will there be a miracle in the future?"

Lumine: "Probably no miracles in the video."

Lumine: "But right now, hasn't the miracle already happened long ago?"

Lumine: "Look, Mr. Gallagher is still watching the livestream just fine."

Gallagher: "I even watched the entire future course of Penacony."

Gallagher: "This is something this old dog never even dreamed of."

Gallagher: "Have to say, miracles are truly amazing things."

The video continues.

After everyone said goodbye to the old Nameless and Gallagher,

they walked down the stairs,

arriving before the Gravekeeper, Mikael.

【Members of the Astral Express, preparing to leave Penacony?】

Mikael looked at the neatly lined-up Express crew,

and asked with a smile.

【Sorry, Mr. Mikael, for only coming to say goodbye now.】

Welt said apologetically.

【Not at all, you've done so much for the Watchmaker, we have nothing to repay you with. Let me, as a representative of the Dreamscape Reef, toast each of you Nameless one more cup.】

Mike waved his hand dismissively.

"What will happen to the people of Penacony next?"

Welt asked.

"Most of them will probably stay here."

"People who've grown used to being awake won't find it easy to adapt to a life of closing their eyes in the darkness, even for a short while."

"After the Order fades, someone still has to keep watch over this primitive Memory Zone."

"Penacony's night is long — it's still far from the time when everyone can sleep in peace."

"As for the Sweet Dreams over there..."

"Even without them, haven't we lived until now just fine?"

Hu Tao: "I thought that after the Order was driven out, the people of Penacony would choose to return to the Sweet Dreams — after all, the living conditions there are better."

Hu Tao: "But looking at it now, as people who remained awake even within the dream, they had long since found their own way of life."

Hu Tao: "I have to say, this too is a kind of ordinary greatness."

Furina: "Everyone in Penacony is amazing!"

Furina: "Still, speaking of the Order being driven out..."

Furina: "I think what Penacony needs to prioritize most right now is strengthening security measures, right?"

Furina: "Otherwise, without the Order's protection, this could really cost lives!"

Paimon: "Uh... even though I know the Sweet Dreams under the Order's shadow weren't good, the dream losing that immortality trait still feels a bit regrettable."

Paimon: "Is there any way to use the power of Harmony to let the dream keep that trait?"
