Asta: "Did anyone notice a detail?"
Asta: "It seems that Mr. Micah still can't see Misha, nor can he hear Misha speak."
Welt Yang: "That is the case."
Welt Yang: "That is why he felt confused after hearing my words."
March 7th: "That's strange…"
March 7th: "What exactly is Misha's background?"
March 7th: "Why can we see him now, but others still can't?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Judging from the video, it's hard to say whether Miss Himeko can see him or not."
Stelle: "After all, he's someone who can be partners with Clockie."
Stelle: "His identity is definitely not as simple as just a little doorman."
Lumine: "A character that appeared right from the start of the video…"
Lumine: "I have a feeling his true identity will definitely take everyone by surprise!"

『 [ An important guest? Who could it be...? ]
After Micah said this, a figure immediately popped into March 7th's mind.
[ This way, everyone. ]
[ The roads in Dreamflux Reef have been in disrepair for years, watch your step. ]
Micah began to lead the way at the front. The group followed behind.
[ That's her. ]
After walking for a while, Micah pointed to a person not far ahead, and said a sentence to the group.
[ That really is… Miss Robin! ]
Seeing with her own eyes that Robin was still alive, March 7th felt pleasantly surprised.
[ Everyone sang beautifully. I rarely attempt this style of music, and I've learned a lot too! ]
Not far away, robin was praising the few children in front of her with a gentle expression.
[ I really don't know how to thank you, Miss Robin. In just a few short days, the children have improved so much. ]
Watching this scene, Grace, who was beside Robin, felt both gratified and grateful.
[ Ms. Grace, I only taught them how to vocalize, but the person who taught them to embrace hope for life is you. ]
[ …Life in reality must be very hard, right? ]
When asking this question, the smile on Robin's face faded significantly.
[ You could tell. ]
A trace of sighing appeared on Grace's aged face.
[ Every time we say goodbye, the children are reluctant to leave this land of flowing dreams. ]
[ But I have walked every corner of Dreamflux Reef, visited everyone, and they all told me that this broken dream… is not worth lingering in. ]
Robin had long since used practical action, to observe Dreamflux Reef from top to bottom.
That was why she could discover, the difference in these few children.
[ Hehe, it seems you truly are a child of the Harmony. ]
[ Emma and Andy are orphans I took under my wing. Carol, there, with her blind eyes, used to work at a nutrition center in the outer ring of Penacony. And as for Gary, he's been living with autism since he was a child. They're not old enough to enter the sweet dream managed by The Family. ]
[ If people are compared to birds, these children are fledglings born with broken wings. ]
[ But in this dream, they can obtain complete wings. ]
[ Even if they fly unsteadily, they are soaring with their own strength. ]
[ As for me, an old woman who has lost her legs… ]
[ If it weren't for this dreamscape, I wouldn't even be able to walk in front of them. ]
Grace introduced these children one by one, her tone somewhat emotional.
[ I am very happy that you have started a new life in Penacony's dream. ]
[ It's just… ]
Robin looked at Grace, hesitating to speak.
[ Don't worry, Miss Robin. ]
[ Dreams have meaning, but they are not everything. The children and I understand this point. No matter how long we fly in the dream, eventually, we must fly back to reality. ]
[ But look, now Emma and Gary are no longer inferior, Carol gradually understands how to face the trouble of blindness, Andy is much more lively than before, and even I have become more optimistic. ]
[ We learn how to live in the dream, and then return to reality… to learn how to survive. ]
Grace saw things very clearly, she had long understood that while the dreamscape is good, one cannot stay for long.
[ …If wings are unfortunately broken, then lend your wings to each other. ]
[ There is no need to covet the illusory sky in the dream, because we have the right, and the ability… to fly towards a broader world. ] 』

Zhongli: "'Learn how to live in the dream, and then return to reality to learn how to survive'…"
Zhongli: "I must say, this elder is a person of great wisdom!"
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "To be able to see things so clearly, she is already stronger than ninety-five percent of the people in Penacony!"
Furina de Fontaine: "The meaning of the dreamscape's existence is vividly highlighted at this moment."
Furina de Fontaine: "If the dreamscape didn't exist, these birds born with broken wings would have no hope of experiencing the feeling of soaring."
Nahida: "For them, the dreamscape is no longer a place for pure hedonism."
Nahida: "But a kind of spiritual sustenance."
Nahida: "This spiritual sustenance will make their minds stronger, thereby giving them the courage to face the tragic life in reality directly!"
Stelle: "So, the dreamscape isn't all bad."
Stelle: "For some people, what the dream world can bring them is far more precious than so-called hedonism."
March 7th: "You're right, the significance of the dreamscape's existence really cannot be ignored."
March 7th: "But Penacony's Sweet Dream world is far from being called meaningful."
March 7th: "Because the people who truly need the dreamscape's comfort can't get into Penacony at all!"
Collei: "Yeah…"
Collei: "These children, because they aren't adults, absolutely cannot enter Penacony's Sweet Dream and can only stay in Dreamflux Reef."
Collei: "But… even if they become adults, will they really be able to enter Penacony's Sweet Dream?"
Eula Lawrence: "The threshold for Penacony's Sweet Dream is so high, for ordinary people to want to enter, it feels as hard as ascending to heaven."
Bronya Rand: "Precisely because of this, Penacony's Sweet Dream world has not fulfilled its due value and meaning."
Stelle: "Tsk tsk tsk, then let's ruthlessly overthrow it!!"
Stelle: "Rebuild a meaningful Sweet Dream world!"
Dan Heng: "Making an enemy of the Family… that is not a wise choice."
March 7th: "But aren't we Nameless supposed to rise to the challenge?"
Welt Yang: "Hmm, it doesn't necessarily mean making an enemy of the Family."
Welt Yang: "As long as the Family still practices the concept of Harmony."
Nilou: "But looking at it now, the one who practices Harmony the deepest is actually Miss Robin, the superstar who is constantly away from Penacony…"
Lumine: "Indeed, there's really nothing bad to say about Miss Robin."
Lumine: "She has always wanted to lend her strength to others, to encourage others to keep moving forward."
Lumine: "This is true support of the weak by the strong."
Paimon: "'If wings are unfortunately broken, then we lend our wings to each other'…"
Paimon: "This sentence from Miss Robin really moved Paimon to death."
Venti: "To be able to speak such a wise saying, Miss Robin is truly worthy of being the Halovian!"
Robin: "Everyone flatters me… I am only doing my best within my capabilities."
Robin: "The title of Halovian… is ultimately just a vain name, and cannot provide more assistance to the people who need help…"
Sunday: "No need to be discouraged, Robin."
Sunday: "You have already done well enough."
Sunday: "You are the pride of the Family, and also my pride."
Stelle: "What 'pride of the Family', 'your pride'."
Stelle: "She is clearly everyone's pride!!"
Stelle: "Don't you all agree?"
Guinaifen: "Agreed!"
Guinaifen: "Miss Robin is everyone's pride!"
Guinaifen: "When Miss Robin holds a concert again in the future, I must go to the scene personally to do call-and-response!"
Guinaifen: "Sushang, are you going?"
Li Sushang: "I want to go, but the Cloud Knights might not give me time off!"
Qingque: "Isn't that simple?"
Qingque: "Just skip work!"
Qingque: "Uh… um… why doesn't this livestream room have a retract function?!"
Fu Xuan: "Skipping work, is it? Spoke your mind, did you?"
Fu Xuan: "Try skipping and let me see?"
Stelle: "Skip if you want to skip, for General Qing to skip a shift, isn't that only natural and right?"
Stelle: "You, Little Xuan, daring to dictate to General Qing is simply turning the world upside down!!"
Stelle: "Believe it or not, you'll get fired right now? (Funny face.jpg)"
Qingque: "Stelle, shut up quickly!!"
Qingque: "Ahaha, Master Diviner, I was just joking."
Qingque: "With you, the venerable elder here, how would I dare to skip work?"
Fu Xuan: "Hmph, better not dare."
Fu Xuan: "Otherwise, if I find out, you definitely won't have a good time!"
Stelle: "Alas, the great General Qing ultimately cannot escape the Diviner's clutches…"

『 [ I'm glad to see you are safe and sound, Miss Robin. ]
Robin had already arrived in front of the Astral Express crew, seeing this, Himeko smiled and said a sentence.
[ Everyone from the Astral Express, we meet again. ]
[ I heard my disappearance caused quite a disturbance in the outside world… ]
[ I am very sorry. ]
There was some apology on Robin's face.
[ Since you are here… can we assume that Miss Robin is already fully aware of the current situation in Penacony? ]
Himeko got straight to the point.
[ Since returning to Penacony, my voice became abnormal, gradually evolving into the torture of losing my voice. ]
[ I originally thought it was just an accident, perhaps because I had been traveling abroad for too long and wasn't used to the high concentration of Memoria in Asdana. ]
[ But looking at it now… the source is not within me. ]
[ There are things around me that are incompatible with Harmony… the loss of voice is also one of the signals that the Sweet Dream is collapsing. ]
Robin explained to everyone in detail.
[ The Sweet Dream collapsing… that Memokeeper said the same thing, so it turned out to be true. ]
March 7th was somewhat surprised.
[ During the time I left Penacony, the boundaries of the twelve dreamscapes kept expanding outward. ]
[ But whenever I talked about the anomalies in the dream, I could always feel the Family Heads keeping their mouths shut; only my brother was willing to answer… ]
[ Later, the IPC's envoy secretly sent a confidential letter, which made me even more certain that some unspeakable secret was lurking beneath the light of Penacony. ]
[ Finally, through a few clues in the Oak Family's files, I found this place… ]
[ …The place of exile covered up by the Family in the name of death, burying Penacony's past dream within a dream. ]
Robin spoke of some of her previous experiences.
[ Listening to you now, Miss Robin's voice seems to have recovered somewhat? ]
Hearing Robin's crisp and melodious voice, Himeko couldn't help but ask.
[ Although cruel, this is an indisputable fact. ]
[ The Harmony here is actually spread more widely than in the Sweet Dream… ]
[ I regret to say, a traitor has appeared in the Family. He… or they, have abandoned their initial beliefs. ]
[ Using the name of Harmony to exploit human weaknesses, turning Penacony into the Planet of Festivities that sinks into illusory sweet dreams… ]
[ This is not the strong supporting the weak at all, but the strong controlling the weak. ]
[ A world that has lost equality is destined to no longer be favored by Harmony. A voice blessed by THEM… naturally cannot sing anymore. ] 』

Furina de Fontaine: "It's too ironic. The place of exile abandoned by the Family actually believes in the concept of Harmony more than the Family's territory."
Furina de Fontaine: "In contrast, the Family…"
Hu Tao: "Human hearts are easily changed."
Hu Tao: "The original Family might have come with good intentions."
Hu Tao: "But now, who knows what they are actually plotting."
Aventurine: "So Penacony under the Family's governance is just so-so."
Aventurine: "It might as well be managed by the IPC again."
Stelle: "Oh, give it a rest."
Stelle: "If it weren't for the IPC, there wouldn't be so many problems now."
Stelle: "Wasn't the riot in the frontier prison back then caused by the IPC's inhumane oppression?"
Boothill: "Don't look at the Family seeming like they aren't good stuff now."
Boothill: "But compared to the IPC, I feel they pale in significance."
Boothill: "The dirty deeds the IPC has done, that's simply too many to count, fudge it!"
Eula Lawrence: "Heh, in the end, all crows under heaven are equally black."
Eula Lawrence: "That saying is truly not wrong at all."
March 7th: "Speaking of which, it feels like it would be better to let us Nameless manage this place!"
Stelle: "That right!! Prepare this beautiful dream to welcome its new master from Astral Express — Stelle, The Galactic Baseballer"
Amber: "Speaking of the Nameless… we've only received news about Ms. Razalina."
Amber: "But what about the other two?"
Amber: "Weren't there three in total?"
Navia Caspar: "It seems their whereabouts are still unknown. Hopefully, they are still alive and well…"
....
『 [ Miss Robin, does another possibility exist… ]
[ That the change in the Family's philosophy involves the participation of another faction? ]
[ After all, judging from Miss Acheron's example, unless a power at the level of an Emanator or above intervenes… ]
[ Otherwise, it is hard to imagine that another will capable of influencing everyone could exist within the territory of Harmony. ]
Welt pondered for a moment, and asked a crucial question.
[ I'd heard about what happened to the Xianzhou Alliance. But as far as I'm aware, The Family hasn't faced any such external interventions. Who knows, perhaps I've just been away too long and missed something. ]
[ Regardless, I cannot accept my home is moving towards the very opposite of what the Harmony represents, while still claiming to uphold it. ]
[ I must uncover the reason why Mikhail cut ties with The Family, and who exactly it was who betrayed us all. Do you remember our arrangement, Mr. Micah? Well, here's my answer... I've decided to forego my role, and never step foot on the Charmony Festival's stage again. ] 』
