"Uh... is that the point right now?"

"But Misha can also see Clockie, and their relationship clearly seems very close."

"Could Misha also be a Nameless, or rather, is Misha indeed Mikhail?"

"Then who is the person lying there in the Dreamflux Reef?"

【In the plot, March 7th also asks the same question as the players: "But if that's the case, can't little Misha also see Clockie? They are even good partners who grew up together, but Misha hasn't embarked on the 'Trailblaze' yet..."】

【Himeko nods and says, "This is the key to the mystery, little March. Now try to recall..."】

【"Just like Clockie, have you seen anyone other than the Express crew interact with Misha?"】

【March 7th recalls carefully, and after a moment, says in shock, "... No way..."】

【Misha looks at March 7th with a smile and says, "The answer is just that, Miss March 7th. This Dream Bubble is the cradle of my birth. I... am a person in a dream, no different from a Memetic Entity of the Memory Zone."】

【"I should have stayed in the Dream Bubble waiting for you all to visit, but reality and memory overlapped, causing me to push the door open unconsciously and leave here with Clockie."】

【March 7th listens to Misha and says in shock, "So the Dream Bubble left by the 'Clockmaker' was empty, not because it had no content, but because... the content left on its own?"】

【"The whistle you heard was the sound of the Express arriving at Penacony?"】

The livestream room.

"By the God of Folly, who would have thought this would be the situation!"

"So this is why the Dream Bubble was empty."

"Should I say, as expected of the Trailblaze? Even the will within the Dream Bubble is full of the Trailblazing spirit, leaving the Dream Bubble spontaneously."

"This Trailblazing will is too Trailblazing, it grew legs and went to Trailblaze on its own."

"My god, this development is truly unexpected, too exquisite, too surprising."

"So, is Misha a Memetic Entity of the Memory Zone, like Clockie, in a deep sleep?"

"Thinking about it, Misha being able to see Clockie makes sense. After all, he himself is the will of the Dream Bubble left behind by the 'Clockmaker'."

Where the Astral Express crew is.

March 7th opens her mouth wide and says, "This... this is too unbelievable. Misha, he..."

Mr. Welt Yang sighs, "So, is that why Stelle saw Misha in the lobby of the Reverie Hotel and in the dream?"

Following Dan Heng sighs in relief and says, "Is Misha the information originally left for us in the Clockmaker's Dream Bubble? Next, we can also learn the Clockmaker's true dying wish from Misha."

【In the game plot, Himeko looks at Misha and says, "This is indeed one interpretation. But there should be a longer story behind him. I think it's better for him to explain the ins and outs and the confusing parts himself..."】

【"Why don't we start with your name? Now, how should we address you, 'Misha,' or..."】

【Continuing Himeko's unfinished sentence, Misha looks at the Astral Express crew and says, "Thank you all for helping me retrieve this long journey. Allow me to reintroduce myself."】

【"I was born on the planet Lusaka in the Przemysl system, the adopted son of the navigator Mr. Mikhail and Mrs. Char. These two gave me a treasure, a name that carries their hopeful message—"】

【"Ragwock Char Mikhail, or more simply... Misha 'Mikhail Char'."】

【As the camera zooms in on Misha's face, the subtitle for Misha's name also changes to "Ragwock Char Mikhail."】

【"If you wish, it is also acceptable to address me by the name people are more familiar with—the 'Clockmaker'."】

Xianzhou Luo Fu.

Lieutenant Yanqing looks shocked and says in disbelief, "So Misha is not just a Dream Bubble lifeform left by the Clockmaker, he is the Clockmaker himself?"

General Jing Yuan also sighs, "Only now have the secrets of Penacony and the Clockmaker begun to be revealed to us. It truly is a long journey."

In a teahouse where players gather.

"No wonder Misha's expression and tone became exceptionally mature when he said he retrieved all his memories. It turns out that, in a sense, Misha is Mikhail surviving as a Dream Bubble meme lifeform."

"Misha is the Clockmaker. Until this moment, how many people would believe that the shy, introverted, cute little boy from the beginning was actually the Clockmaker himself!"

"This is also good, isn't it? The Clockmaker, Tiernan, and Laerlina gave their lives to build Penacony."】

"After his two companions passed away one after another, the Clockmaker became increasingly isolated, only able to retreat slowly to the Dreamflux Reef, watching the 'Family' turn the sweet dream into something that devours the spirits of those trapped in the dream, yet because of his old age, he was powerless and passed away with regrets."】

"Now, being able to see the Nameless juniors in this way is, in any case, a joyful thing for Mikhail."

"Sigh~ Thinking of Mikhail finally sitting there watching the sweet dream above sink and slowly passing away, my heart feels heavy."

"Fortunately, the people from the Astral Express arrived, otherwise who knows how long Misha would have waited."

【March 7th says in surprise, "So you are the 'Clockmaker' yourself?!"】

【The 'Clockmaker' closes his eyes and sighs, "Unfortunately, that dream tycoon everyone admired is long gone. I am just a microcosm of his life."】

【"And this child who has accompanied you all until now is the ignorant little thought in his childhood sweet dream—the good friend of 'Clockie,' a young apprentice, a future mechanic of the Express..."】

【"At the same time, it is also the starting point of his lifelong 'Trailblaze'."】

【"At the end of my life's journey, I left this spark, which I consider precious, in the deepest dream, hoping to hand it over to the Nameless of future generations."】

【Misha, or rather the 'Clockmaker,' speaks softly at this moment, his voice a blend of youth and age, carrying the kindness, gentleness, and wisdom of an elder.】

【"But for some reason, he ran out of the Dream Bubble on his own and forgot his mission. Sorry, I really let you all see a joke."】

【Himeko says with a smile, "Because he was born wanting to 'Trailblaze,' wasn't he?"】

【"I think little Misha hasn't forgotten his mission as a guide, which is why he mistakenly thought of himself as a hotel bellboy and appeared at the moment Stelle entered the dream."】

【"It must have been him who brought the unconscious Stelle here. Looking at it this way, didn't we brush past the ('Clockmaker's' legacy) right from the start?"】

Penacony.

In reality, many people watching the moment Misha's identity was revealed were both excited and touched.】

(Timidly) "Who would have thought that this child, who hadn't appeared many times before, would be Penacony's famous 'Clockmaker'?!"

"Sigh~ But, the Clockmaker has passed away after all, and Misha is just a Dream Bubble microcosm of the 'Clockmaker'."

"I used to hear people say how great the Trailblazers of the Astral Express were, but there was always a distance. Now, seeing Miss Himeko and the others, as well as the 'Clockmaker' and his companions, I finally understand why they are sung about endlessly."】

"According to Misha, this Dream Bubble itself is just a spiritual inheritance left by the 'Clockmaker' to the Astral Express. Is this the true face of the 'Clockmaker's' legacy?"

"Suddenly my heart feels relieved, but looking at the meeting between Misha and Himeko and the others, my eyes feel a bit sore. How good it would have been if this moment could have come sooner."

"If it could have come sooner, perhaps the Clockmaker wouldn't have left this world with regrets."

"Fortunately, there is still Misha. Although he is only a microcosm of the 'Clockmaker,' having him witness all this can be considered a consolation for the Clockmaker."

"The Clockmaker's voice is so kind and gentle. It reminds me of my grandfather, sob sob sob..."

"Misha's appearance and personality must be what the 'Clockmaker' looked like in his youth. This shy and enthusiastic boy has also grown into a hero, a wise and kind old man."

"Sigh, looking at all this, my heart is truly touched."

"The Clockmaker and his companions were the founders of Penacony and the heroes who made Penacony possible, but because of some people, they ended up like this. It's really..."

"Shh... be quiet, this is still the Family's territory."

"Hmph, now the whole galaxy knows about this past. If they have the ability, let them act. Everyone is watching now." ===== CHAPTER 371 =====
