Meanwhile, the warmhearted Xianzhou young swordsman, the warmhearted little fox girl, the knight who pursued Pure Beauty, and the indescribable being that embodied Pure Beauty, the group of four, returned to the hotel in reality in order to help Miss Kokona.
The four kindhearted people found a mechanical woman named Siobhan, who also served as the head dream-entry nurse.
Miss Siobhan was startled when she first saw the four of them rushing over.
But after taking a closer look, there was the serious and earnest Xianzhou youth, the lovable Foxian girl, the tall and handsome knight of Pure Beauty, and the cute boy who had been brought here by Miss Robin and Mr. Sunday together.
A group like that clearly didn't look like they were here to cause trouble.
Siobhan relaxed a little. Her cooling system, which had suddenly ramped up its speed, and her central processor, which had entered high-load operation, both settled down.
She looked up at the four visitors.
"If you've just woken up from the dream, please remember, this is reality. The four of you, what can I help you with?"
"We just met a shop manager named Miss Kokona in the Golden Hour. She looked like she was in a lot of discomfort," Nero said seriously.
"Kokona? Oh, the manager of that luxury goods store. What happened to her?" Siobhan asked.
"Miss Kokona kept trembling, her expression was absent-minded, and then she suddenly became extremely dejected. May I ask if you're familiar with this condition?" Argenti asked.
Siobhan nodded and muttered to herself, "A common symptom. Looks like it's the same old problem again."
"I remember she received special treatment not long ago. Did something happen that triggered her again?"
"She has a respectable job and a generous income, yet she's always troubled by this. It's truly hard to understand."
After saying that, Siobhan went back to handling the work in her hands. Judging from her words, this clearly wasn't the first time she had encountered something like this.
"I thought Sister Kokona looked really tired. Is it really not because the Family is exploiting her and making her keep working there?" Nero asked.
Siobhan's hand, which was organizing documents, paused.
She really wanted to say something impressive.
But she quickly canceled that task process.
It couldn't be helped. She was just an employee of the Family too. Besides, this child had been personally brought in by Miss Robin and the current head of the Oak Family.
On top of that, the clothes he was wearing didn't look cheap at all, and he was so good-looking. No matter how she looked at it, he couldn't possibly be some ordinary rich tourist.
She couldn't afford to offend him.
She'd better leave it for the Family's higher-ups to deal with.
Thinking that, Siobhan spoke in a gentler tone, "How could that be? Besides, I'm not responsible for that area, and I don't know much about how the shops inside the dream are operated."
One could only imagine what Siobhan would think if she knew about Nero's connections.
On the smaller scale, he had a fairly good relationship with Madam Herta of the Genius Society and a certain ruler from Screwllum.
On a larger scale, the Interastral Peace Corporation, the Xianzhou Alliance, and the Knights of Beauty all had ties with him.
On an even larger scale... Aha, Lan...
It was hard to imagine Siobhan loudly calling for the Dreammaster and demanding that he come out to pay his respects...
"What kind of treatment did you give Miss Kokona?" Yanqing asked.
Siobhan answered, "The relevant personnel have already treated her emotions. She should have forgotten those unpleasant experiences. In return, forgetfulness, drowsiness, and slow reactions are unavoidable side effects."
Then Siobhan sincerely said to the four of them with an apologetic expression, "Please forgive me for not being able to reveal too many details about the treatment. Those are the Family's rules."
As an employee, and one who had already reached a certain position, Siobhan had already learned how to avoid taking responsibility.
"Also, thank you for informing me of Miss Kokona's current condition. I'll have someone send her some more Special Blend."
"What's Special Blend?" Nero asked curiously.
Looking into Nero's clear eyes, Siobhan was silent for two seconds before saying, "It's... well... a SoulGlad with a very special formula. It's prepared specifically for people like Miss Kokona, a special drink unique to the entire dream.
"As long as she drinks it in the dream, she'll temporarily forget those worries, suppress those negative emotions, and return to work and daily life as normal."
Nero blinked.
"So it's medicine..."
Thinking back to Kokona's condition just now, the child immediately reached out toward Siobhan.
"Give it to me!"
"You mean...?" Siobhan looked at Nero in surprise.
"If you send someone yourself, you'll have to assign people and make arrangements. Just give it to us. It'll be faster if we deliver it to Sister Kokona ourselves. I have a doctor friend who always says illnesses should be treated as early as possible." Nero smiled.
"I understand. Then I'll entrust the Special Blend to you, and you can deliver it to Miss Kokona." Siobhan said, "You're truly a dreamchaser who enjoys helping others. I've met all kinds of guests, but people with your kind of character are incredibly rare."
After complimenting him, Siobhan suddenly felt that something was off.
It didn't seem to be her imagination. The knight, the swordsman, and the Foxian girl all seemed to be looking at her with a little more approval and goodwill.
Siobhan froze for a moment before taking action and placing the so-called Special Blend into Nero's hands.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you. I still have other guests who need looking after."
"Leave it to me." Nero nodded.
After saying that, Siobhan returned to her work, while Nero and the other three turned around, preparing to return to the dream to find Kokona.
"Please wait..." Siobhan suddenly called out.
Nero stopped and looked at her in confusion.
Siobhan gave Nero a careful reminder.
"Um... please, whatever you do, don't drink that cup of Special Blend just because you're curious about how it tastes..."
Nero looked at her in confusion.
'Do I really look like someone who's that greedy for food?'
