Dunyarzad introduced, "This is the stall selling the Seven-Course Feast..."
The shopkeeper praised her, "You are truly knowledgeable, miss. I thought no one knew about this anymore."
After looking around, Paimon was very disappointed. "Why does everything seem to be vegetarian? I am a little disappointed."
[Ningguang: Strange. Did the Seven-Course Feast not happen yesterday? Why is Dunyarzad introducing it again? And Lumine is listening to it again as well.]
[Keqing: The Sabzeruz Festival should have ended long ago.]
[Paimon: Yes, and the experience seems exactly the same as yesterday. A repeating day.]
[Ei: Perhaps you are in a place similar to the Plane of Euthymia.]
[Zhongli: Sumeru's Dendro Archon wields the authority of dreams. This should be a dream world.]
[Paimon: Are you saying that the Lesser Lord Kusanali trapped us here?]
[Nahida: My power is not enough to support such a large dream. It should be the Akademiya, using the Gnosis.]
[Lumine: The Akademiya knows we came to save the Lesser Lord Kusanali, so they trapped us all in a dream. That is terrifying.]
[Furina: Then will our rescue plan fail like this too?]
[Ei: I can cut through the dream.]
Paimon turned to Dunyarzad. "By the way, what did you mean by the Seven-Course Feast just now?"
Dunyarzad explained, "It is a custom of the Sabzeruz Festival. People fill their tables with these dishes to symbolize the deity's seven virtues."
Lumine's eyes widened.
Wait a moment. This felt familiar.
The scene shifted, and Lumine was at the divination stall again. The shopkeeper, Kimiya, flipped through his book and said, "That is right, that is right. The moon symbolizes illusion and lies."
"But as long as you trust your intuition and overcome the fear in your heart, the sun will surely rise."
Lumine was still confused.
It felt like she had heard this before. Was this déjà vu?
At the next stop, it was time to choose candy from the boxes again. The Knight of Flowers introduced the flavors in the boxes once more.
Paimon was once again shocked by the Onikabuto flavor candy.
Lumine directly chose box number four.
The shopkeeper opened the lid and said in astonishment, "Oh, impressive! Number four, is it? You really did get the Sunsettia flavor."
[Yae Miko: It seems that apart from the Traveler, no one has noticed anything wrong.]
[Paimon: As expected of the Traveler. She will surely lead us to the truth.]
[Keqing: Once the anomaly is noticed, it is only a matter of time before it is resolved.]
[Paimon: Yes, yes. Watch Lumine show her mighty power.]
[Lumine: I feel a lot of pressure.]
[Paimon: Lumine, you are the best. Only you could pick the Sunsettia flavor.]
[Yae Miko: Completely identical, a repeating dream. Such a wondrous power. It is like an endless loop.]
[Paimon: But... but if we are trapped in this dream forever, will we die?]
[Lumine: That possibility cannot be ruled out. Dunyarzad is not in good health. She might be the first to be unable to hold on.]
Paimon was also very happy. "See? I told you your luck was super good. It is indeed so."
Lumine shook her head. "That was not luck just now."
"For some reason, I knew it had to be number four."
Paimon did not believe her. "How could that be? It was all random."
Lumine looked at Paimon. "This déjà vu has happened too many times. It is very, very strange."
Paimon asked with concern, "Lumine, did we not sleep well last night? Or did we sleep too much?"
Lumine did not answer. Instead, she looked at Dunyarzad. "I am sorry, Dunyarzad. Please excuse us for a moment."
