『 [ Wake up… wake up… ]
[ …Hey, Stelle! Stop sleeping, the sun's frying your butt!— ]
Stelle is lying in the dream pool inside her room, hearing loud shouting from outside the door while still dazed.
So, with a somewhat dizzy head, she goes to open the door.
[ Are you okay? Can you hear me clearly? ]
[ I didn't hear any movement in the room, I was scared to death. ]
March 7th looks at the somewhat dazed Stelle, appearing very nervous.
[ Woah, this conversation is such déjà vu...] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "Uh… this dialogue, haven't I heard it once before??"
Stelle: "March, didn't you call me the same way last time when I woke up in Ena's Dream??"
March 7th: "Ah, this… seems about the same?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Oh no, don't tell me we're still stuck in a dream?!"
Qingque: "Unlikely, probably just a coincidence."
....
『 [ What are you talking about? Are you sleeping silly… The dream of Order has already ended. ]
[ Although a day has passed, thinking back still makes me sweat. The Astral Express's journey of Trailblazing almost ended right here in Penacony… ]
[ You're quite relaxed, still able to sleep soundly. ]
[ I, on the other hand, have been traumatized. I didn't even dare to close my eyes last night, fearing that if I fell asleep, I would never wake up again. ] 』
『 ....』

Stelle: "Sleep soundly?"
Stelle: "I was unconscious, okay."
Stelle: "It's really strange, why am I always the last one to wake up?"
March 7th: "Hehe, who told you your tolerance to Memoria is weak?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Oh my, looking at Miss March 7th's lingering fear, I really empathize."
Furina de Fontaine: "When I first watched this video, I thought it was just a happy and warm vacation video."
Furina de Fontaine: "But as the plot slowly developed, my heart kept hanging!"
Furina de Fontaine: "Even now, it still hasn't completely settled!"
Hu Tao: "Looks like it's really over, you can let it go."
March 7th: "I'm afraid it's not really over. The aftermath of Penacony still needs to be resolved."
Lumine: "Does everyone remember… the Charmony Festival?"
Lumine: "The guests who came to Penacony originally intended to attend the Charmony Festival, right?"
Lumine: "After the incident, will this ceremony still be held?"
Guinaifen: "Such an important celebration, they shouldn't just cancel it, right?"
Guinaifen: "Let's see how the Family spins it."
Paimon: "To think there are still so many things to do…"
Paimon: "It seems the story of Penacony won't end anytime soon."
Paimon: "I just hope everything goes smoothly from now on, and there won't be any more scary accidents."
....
『 [ You'll get dark circles under your eyes. ]
Hearing March 7th being too scared to sleep, Stelle teased.
[ This girl is naturally beautiful, I won't have dark circles! ]
[ While you were asleep, the Stellaron was already sealed. ]
[ The ordinary citizens of Penacony have no idea what happened. They only feel their memories are a bit blurry, as if a section was erased by someone. ]
[ The Family's official explanation is that the Charmony Festival was attacked by an unknown Stellaron and was forced to be suspended—after all, they can't exactly put the Order's affairs out in the open. ] 』

Boothill: "Ho, muddle-fudging, hilarious!"
Boothill: "This excuse is good, really good!"
Boothill: "Fudge, letting the Stellaron take the blame, huh?"
Boothill: "The Family never fails to disappoint!"
Zhongli: "Rationally speaking, pushing everything onto the Stellaron is indeed a good excuse."
Li Sushang: "As expected of the Family, they really have a knack for finding excuses."
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "Unknown origin… hehe, they really have the nerve to say that."
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "I bet the heads of these major families basically know the secret of the Stellaron."
Aventurine: "Just everyone harboring their own schemes."
Aventurine: "Who doesn't have their own calculations in mind?"
Welt Yang: "Regardless of other things, since the Stellaron is sealed, that's a great thing."
March 7th: "Yeah, at least Penacony doesn't have to worry about crises caused by the Stellaron anymore."
Stelle: "Speaking of which, are we too closely connected to Stellarons?"
Stelle: "We've been to a few stops now, and we really run into Stellarons everywhere."
March 7th: "Yeah… Belobog's Stellaron, the Luofu's Stellaron, and now Penacony's Stellaron."
March 7th: "Honestly, won't we run into another Stellaron at the next stop??"
Qingque: "What are you afraid of? Just let Stelle eat it, right?"
Stelle: "Qingque, do you think I'm some kind of Stellaron devourer?"
Paimon: "Stellarons are really scary; they cause disasters wherever they go."
Paimon: "I hope Teyvat never has a Stellaron!"
....
『 [ Now, the four major Families other than the Oak Family are doing their best to quell the aftermath of the incident. ]
[ The Express crew has also been invited to sit on the Family's Radiant Feldspar, to participate in important talks as witnesses. ]
[ Now it's just you left, hurry up and pack. ]
[ Once you're ready, we'll set off! ]
March 7th continued. 』

Topaz: "It seems the Oak Family has completely collapsed this time."
Furina de Fontaine: "With the Oak Family down, which family is in charge now?"
Jade: "Hehe, that would naturally be the owner of the Radiant Feldspar."
Hu Tao: "Radiant Feldspar?"
Hu Tao: "What is that?"
Guinaifen: "I guess, a luxury cruise ship?"
Jade: "Hmm, something like that."
Stelle: "But why does the Family invite us over?"
Stelle: "They wouldn't be asking us to clean up their mess, would they?"
Stelle: "Good heavens, are they really treating us as tools?"
Hanabi: "How bullying! How can you treat our little gray-haired one as a tool to be used?!"
Hanabi: "Little gray-haired one, blow them up!"
Hanabi: "We won't take this insult!"
Paimon: "Uh… Miss Hanabi is just fanning the flames."
Paimon: "Miss Stelle could just walk away. Why does she have to blow them up?"
March 7th: "Think on the bright side?"
March 7th: "Maybe the Family had a change of heart and wants to give gifts to us heroes who saved Penacony?"
Stelle: "Laughing to death, I'd rather believe Aventurine would send me millions of credits to thank me."
Stelle: "Than believe the Family would give me any benefits."
Aventurine: "You're right, friend!"
Aventurine: "How can the Family's credibility compare to my Aventurine's?"
Hu Tao: "It's a pity Miss Robin isn't the one in charge of Penacony."
Hu Tao: "Otherwise, she would definitely thank everyone profusely."
March 7th: "Speaking of Miss Robin… will she still be like in the dream?"
Stelle: "Not guaranteed… we might have to break her out of prison in the end?"
Stelle: "Boothill, I'll have to rely on you for that!"
Boothill: "Heh, helping those in need when seeing injustice, we Galaxy Rangers can never let injustice happen right under our noses!"
Robin: "Thank you all for your concern."
Robin: "But I don't think the Family will do anything to me."
Robin: "Because… precisely at this juncture, the Family will need me to step forward even more."
Welt Yang: "All of Penacony knows Miss Robin was originally going to sing at the Charmony Festival."
Welt Yang: "As long as the Family hasn't completely lost their minds, they won't do anything to Miss Robin at this turbulent time."
Himeko: "Conversely, they still need to use Miss Robin's influence to appease the public."
Paimon: "Then what about Mr. Sunday?"
Paimon: "I'm afraid Mr. Sunday is truly beyond saving, right?"
Sunday: "You all don't need to feel pity for me. Being defeated by you all fair and square is just my own doing."
Sunday: "I only hope Robin won't be implicated by me."
Robin: "Brother…"
....
『 [ Phew, after experiencing all this, I feel there's nothing better than a safe and sound reality… ]
Just as Stelle was packing her things, March 7th, standing beside her, couldn't help but sigh. 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Qingque: "Safety and soundness are what's real!"
Qingque: "March, congratulations on your enlightenment of the ultimate truth of life!"
Stelle: "I disagree."
Stelle: "Reality isn't necessarily safe and sound either."
Stelle: "In terms of safety, I think it's far worse than the dream."
Guinaifen: "Not to mention anything else, at least in the dream, falling from ten thousand meters wouldn't kill anyone."
Guinaifen: "If this were reality, wouldn't you become a puddle of colorful liquid on the spot?"
Li Sushang: "Eww~ Kei-chan, can you not say it so creepily?"
March 7th: "Of course I know reality isn't necessarily safe."
March 7th: "I was just scared in the dream, so I was expressing my feelings."
Black Swan: "So, do you all consider this a sweet dream, or a nightmare?"
March 7th: "A nightmare!"
March 7th: "The kind of nightmare that paves the way for itself around corners!"
Stelle: "Dream, what dream?"
Stelle: "I don't think this is a dream, this is my true and real Trailblazing experience!"
Dan Heng: "Well said, this is indeed a true Trailblazing experience."
Dan Heng: "It just happened to take place in the dream world."
....
『 [ March, let me ask you a question: what did you encounter in Ena's Dream?? ]
Stelle changed the subject and began to ask March 7th about her encounter in Ena's Dream?.
[ Why did you suddenly bring this up? ]
[ When I was dragged into the sweet dream, I only felt a cold tentacle reaching deep into my memories. ]
[ But there seemed to be something else there, so it left immediately. ]
[ Then, I started having dreams of eating, drinking, and shopping to my heart's content… ]
[ Sunday wouldn't think this is the life I want, would he? ]
[ Waking up from such an illusion… easy, e-easy peasy…. ] 』
『 ....』

Silver Wolf: "If you could hide that unbridled smile at the corner of your mouth when recalling this sweet dream."
Silver Wolf: "Then I might believe your 'easy peasy'."
Stelle: "Damn, March, you're really pathetic!"
Stelle: "Just some eating, drinking, and shopping, and it actually made you linger?"
Stelle: "If it were me, I'd at least make him add some power-fantasy tropes for me!"
Stelle: "That would make me linger!"
March 7th: "I… I wouldn't indulge in such a dream!"
Qingque: "No need to be stubborn, your expression and tone in the video have already betrayed you."
Paimon: "Eating, drinking… shopping…"
Paimon: "WUWUWU… THIS IS THE LIFE PAIMON DREAMS OF!!!"
Lumine: "It seems Ena's dream can indeed strike at everyone's heart, creating scenes that make them feel happy."
Furina de Fontaine: "Did you notice a detail?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Miss March 7th said, when the sweet dream of Order wanted to read her memories, it was scared off by something else?"
Stelle: "I remember, March's memory seems to have a firewall."
March 7th: "Hey, hey, I'm not a robot, where would I have a firewall in my brain!!"
Silver Wolf: "It doesn't matter if you don't have one. I can help you install one."
Fu Xuan: "It's appropriate to describe it as a firewall."
Fu Xuan: "But if I remember correctly, that was the power of the Garden of Recollection, right?"
Black Swan: "Oh?"
Black Swan: "Miss March 7th, is it actually related to my Garden?"
March 7th: "Right, at the time I asked Stelle to help me find my background, it did involve the Garden of Recollection."
March 7th: "Anyway, I didn't find my background, and it just left me even more confused."
Stelle: "What's there to be confused about?"
Stelle: "You are March 7th, and you'll be March 7th in the future."
Stelle: "Always the silly March 7th!"
March 7th: "AHHH!!!"
March 7th: "I told you I'm not silly, NOT SILLY!!"
March 7th: "Stelle, if you call me silly again, believe it or not, I'LL BITE YOU!!"
Yunli: "Hmm… she's already angry enough to bite."
Yunli: "She's indeed silly."
