Chapter 1761

"There are rooms everywhere. Do we really need to search them one by one?"

Firefly sighed.

"It seems that's our only option for now."

"Miss Firefly, let's work together."

Sigewinne said, then took the initiative to walk toward a suite next door.

The suite's door was only slightly ajar and not locked; Sigewinne opened it with a gentle push.

Regrettably, apart from basic furnishings, there was no sign of anyone in the room. Sigewinne had no choice but to continue searching room by room alongside Firefly.

In the blink of an eye, over ten minutes passed.

【Tartaglia: This isn't working. This strange place seems much larger than the real-life Reverie Hotel. At this rate, when will we ever find the others?】

【Lynette: Is everyone still unconscious? If no one wakes them up, will they be in danger?】

【Dottore: Since this is still within a dream, there won't be any danger... Heh, it's just a pity that this guarantee from The Family is actually a lie.】

【Hu Tao: No way, do you get a kick out of being a troll, Dottore? Careful, or I'll have my guest consultant beat you up.】

【Dottore: Morax, the one who repelled the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles? That is indeed an awe-inspiring existence.】

【Signora: You say that, but you clearly aren't afraid.】

【Dottore: Heh, who knows. Hmm?! Something moving seems to have appeared in Sigewinne's view.】

【Morax: That is... the Dreamjolt Troupe.】

【Lynette: Great! Even if they aren't human, the Dreamjolt Troupe in the dream can be communicated with, right? If we just ask them, maybe we can find out where Father and the others are.】

"The Dreamjolt Troupe? Why does something feel off?"

Furina rested her chin on one hand, frowning as she watched the few Dreamjolt Troupe members appearing in Sigewinne's livestream.

At this moment, she had already transformed into the appearance of Robin and was preparing to attend a social engagement on her behalf.

"Is Lady Furina also paying attention to the situation over at Sigewinne's?"

Navia was in a suit, wearing sunglasses, dressed like a Bloodhound staff member.

"Of course. Sigewinne and Clorinde are both from Fontaine. Since they are encountering such strange events, as the deity of Fontaine, I naturally have to keep an eye on them."

"Also, you should address me as Robin now, Miss Navia."

Furina said.

"Uh, sorry, Miss Robin."

Navia rubbed the back of her head, feeling a bit embarrassed, and asked:

"Lady Furina, do you really think those Dreamjolt Troupe members are acting strange?"

"They look exactly the same as the ones we've encountered before."

Furina shook her head and said:

"They look the same, but... I just feel their movements are too irregular, and the music they're playing is very strange."

Furina fixed her gaze on a harp-playing Dreamjolt Troupe member in Sigewinne's livestream view.

It was hovering in mid-air, playing automatically. But Furina could tell it wasn't playing music; it was merely pulling at the strings meaninglessly.

The Dreamjolt Troupe in the Penacony dream usually moves in a very orderly fashion.

Even when there is no audience, as long as they are performing, they play beautiful music.

How could they be as eerie as the ones appearing before Sigewinne?

"... Sigewinne seems to be planning to go ask those Dreamjolt Troupe members about the location of Stelle, Clorinde, and the others."

"If there really is something wrong with those Dreamjolt Troupe members, won't Sigewinne be in danger?"

Navia frowned, worrying aloud.

………………

"Miss Firefly, there are some Dreamjolt Troupe members over there. I'll go ask them about the situation."

After noticing the Dreamjolt Troupe, Sigewinne greeted Firefly—who had just stepped into a suite to search for Stelle, Clorinde, and the others—and ran quickly toward the direction of the troupe.

"Eh?!"

Firefly turned back, only to see Sigewinne's retreating figure.

Following the direction Sigewinne ran, Firefly naturally saw the Dreamjolt Troupe members appearing at the corner of the corridor.

"Those Dreamjolt Troupe members... something's not right!"

Firefly frowned slightly.

Seeing that Sigewinne had already run up close to the Dreamjolt Troupe, Firefly quickly followed.

"Um, hello there. Could I ask you a few questions?"

Sigewinne stopped in front of a Spring-Loaded Dealer from the Dreamjolt Troupe and asked.

The Spring-Loaded Dealer, along with the Sweet Gorilla, Mr. Dystopia, and Bubble Hound behind it, immediately turned their heads toward Sigewinne upon hearing a human voice.

Just as Sigewinne thought the Dreamjolt Troupe members before her would answer her questions, the Bubble Hound suddenly opened its large mouth and bit toward Sigewinne with sharp teeth.

The sudden turn of events made Sigewinne's eyes widen instantly. Subconsciously, she channeled the power of the Abundance and, combined with the power of Hydro, infused it into her short bow to fire an arrow at the Bubble Hound.

The arrow hit the Bubble Hound's head, causing it to instantly collapse to the ground.

At the same time, the Sweet Gorilla, Mr. Dystopia, and even some musical instruments launched attacks at Sigewinne.

Although Sigewinne didn't know why these Dreamjolt Troupe members were attacking her, she still raised the bow in her hand and aimed at the members charging toward her.

What she didn't notice was that the Bubble Hound that had collapsed beside her began to emit bursts of bubbles, and then with a 'bang', it exploded directly.

The sudden impact caused Sigewinne to be lifted into the air uncontrollably, and the Sweet Gorilla, Mr. Dystopia, and other Dreamjolt Troupe members took the opportunity to reach out their claws toward her.

"Oh no!"

Sigewinne's pupils shrank; it was too late to draw her bow and nock an arrow.

Just at this critical moment, a surging flame suddenly swept past Sigewinne's body, enveloping all the Dreamjolt Troupe members.

A few seconds later, when the flames vanished, those Dreamjolt Troupe members had completely turned into a pile of scrap metal-like objects.

"This... what is this?!"

Sigewinne was stunned and quickly looked behind her.

"Miss Sigewinne, are you alright?"

Firefly ran up and asked Sigewinne.

"I'm fine! That... did you defeat them?"

Sigewinne asked curiously.

"... Yes." Firefly nodded.

"Is that so? Thank you so much, Miss Firefly."

While feeling grateful, a sudden curiosity about Firefly rose in Sigewinne's heart.

To be able to instantly defeat those crazed Dreamjolt Troupe members—this Miss Firefly before her was definitely not simple!
