Chapter 89

[In the end, she suggested getting on a sampan to continue our conversation on the near sea.]

[I agreed and boarded the small boat with her, but she didn't say anything else, just looked blankly at the end where the sea and sky meet for a long time.]

[Finally, we retreated to the beach...]

Acheron recalled this past event, her expression somewhat lonely.

Stelle: "Good, good, there are tragedies in dreams too, right?"

Stelle: "This is really getting closer and closer to reality!"

Stelle: "Does the Family think this is very humorous?"

March 7th: "Even in dreams, one needs to follow the laws of physics..."

March 7th: "I've long felt that this is actually a replica of the real world."

March 7th: "Rather, the strange place you fell into before, Stelle, is more like a dream world."

March 7th: "Although it was full of danger and a nightmare, at least it matched the bizarreness of a dream!"

March 7th: "On the contrary, most of the things done in Penacony's sweet dream... could also be done in the real world, right?"

Silver Wolf: "It's just the Dreammasters of the Family, none of them have any imagination."

Silver Wolf: "It's already a dream world, yet people still have to walk on the ground, and the houses are built just like in reality."

Silver Wolf: "I say, does your Family really not know how to dream?"

Silver Wolf: "Can't you use more imagination?"

Silver Wolf: "I feel like any three-year-old child could create a dream better than you."

Hook: "Let me, let me! I have many novel ideas, I can definitely create a better and more interesting sweet dream!"

Klee: "Klee can also come to help, I have ideas too~"

Fischl: "Such a good place, if it were used to reproduce this Princess's Immernachtreich, it would definitely surprise many people, right?"

Paimon: "If it were Paimon, I feel I would create a dream moment full of food!"

Paimon: "Look, I've already thought of the name, let's call it the Eat-Full Moment! Hehe."

Miss Qingque: "Actually, after all is said and done, the most characteristic dream moment was the dream bubble full of trash can people that Miss Sparkle took out when she was disguised as Mr. Sampo."

Stelle: "I agree with that."

Stelle: "Trash cans becoming spirits, I have indeed dreamed of that before."

Aventurine: "Tsk tsk tsk, the Family's authority in terms of sweet dreams is now being denied in all aspects."

Aventurine: "It seems your Family's understanding of dreams isn't that great either."

Pela: "Could it be that the Dreammasters the Family hires with high salaries are actually a group of..."

Miss Sushang: "Good-for-nothings? Is that the word?"

Stelle: "Cough, cough, Miss Sushang, your cultural level is still so grounded, I'm very gratified."

Huohuo: "...Su...Miss Sushang... that word is called... good-for-nothings."

Miss Sushang: "Oh my, isn't that about the same?"

Miss Sushang: "It's all the same meaning!"

Bronya: "Perhaps not."

Bronya: "The Family's dream follows the laws of physics of the real world."

Bronya: "So the Dreammasters they recruit should actually be similar to the master architectural designers of the real world..."

Sampo: "Can't understand, why is the Family so partial to the characteristics of the real world?"

Sampo: "Can't they design the dream to be a bit more exciting? A bit more dreamy? And then a bit more joyful?"

Sparkle: "What do you know?"

Sparkle: "Maybe it's because the Family can't cover the sky with one hand in reality, so they imitated reality to create a sweet dream world, wanting to be a god who is high above and dominates all living beings in it?"

Zhongli: "Interesting statement..."

Sunday: "Miss Fool, I hope you can restrain yourself when you speak."

Sunday: "Do not smear the Family wantonly."

Sunday: "Otherwise, when the radiance of Harmony shines, you will pay the price for your words and deeds!"

Sparkle: "Oh my, the chicken-wing boy is angry~"

Sparkle: "Alright, alright, I won't say it then~"

Sparkle: "Don't get angry and ruin your health... Hehe~"

The video continues.

[A regrettable story.]

[Things are not always satisfactory in a sweet dream.]

[Then the last question.]

[The Moment of Dusk, a dream of fashion, luxury, and consumerism, my companion also visited there...]

[What is Miss Acheron's impression of that place?]

Welt asked about the last moment he was interested in.

[Then you must have seen people who have realized their dreams or are striving to realize them spending money like water and betting everything there.]

[Everything can be bought and sold—even the dream itself.]

[I saw a mechanical lifeform there, and the item he prepared for auction was himself.]

[Once someone successfully bids, he will carry out all the buyer's instructions within the agreed period and rules, becoming that person's absolute possession.]

[That mechanical lifeform was auctioned a total of twelve times, and I attended his thirteenth auction.]

[That was the most boisterous feast I have ever seen, but no one cast their gaze on him anymore...]

[This time, he failed to sell...]

Stelle: "What kind of slave market is this?"

Stelle: "Is this auction house so outrageous?"

Stelle: "Anything can be sold?"

March 7th: "Not really, this is a bit exaggerated."

Hu Tao: "Definitely exaggerated."

Hu Tao: "Some things, you can't buy even if you have money."

Xiangling: "For example, lifespan... I feel that this thing, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy it."

Boothill: "And the status of an Emanator!"

Boothill: "No matter how much dirty money you have, even enough to buy the whole universe, what's the use?"

Boothill: "You still can't become an Emanator, right?"

Boothill: "After all, those Aeons don't care if you have money or not."

Aventurine: "It's just an ordinary auction house, it's just established in a dream, so it seems special."

Furina: "Then according to Miss Acheron, that mechanical lifeform has been a slave twelve times?"

Furina: "And I don't know how long each time was..."

Alhaitham: "But he was voluntary, can only say, respect, blessings!"

Stelle: "But he failed to sell this time, isn't it because these people have lost interest in him?"

March 7th: "Eww... you seem to have used the word 'use' in the wrong place, right?"

Silver Wolf: "That's right, 'play with' would be more vivid."

Firefly: "???"

Stelle: "Ah, you impure-minded guys!"

Stelle: "I mean, this mechanical lifeform failed to sell this time, clearly these people have lost interest in him!"

Lumine: "Still feels weird..."

The video continues.

[This is just a shallow account of what I saw and heard along the way...]

[Someone once said to me: Penacony was not like this a long time ago, and Penacony should not be like this.]

[I walked through the reality and dream of the Planet of Festivities, watching the night rise and fall, time stopping for people, while the wealth and poverty of the spirit...]

[also forever remain at their respective scales.]
