Chapter Summaries

The group investigated the Flower Moon Fairies’ possible Dream Honey stash while prioritizing the crisis in Dawn’s Dream, and Juanjuan’s uncanny luck led them to Camilo. Camilo explained that the silent noblewoman following him was a Dream Guest he had made follow him by taking control of her dream.

• Juanjuan and Ms. Moon concluded that the Flower Moon Fairies likely hid Dream Honey in a dream in Dawn City, and Blanche agreed to help search for it with her teacher.
• The group left Rumbadi Shop to deal with Dawn’s Dream and passed a newly appeared Large Dream Bubble, which Angel suspected might not have appeared by chance.
• Juanjuan repeatedly changed their route, and the group unexpectedly encountered Camilo while looking for Ligota.
• Camilo explained that he had used induction to turn a Dream Bubble into a Guiding Dream, causing its noblewoman Dream Guest to follow him like a model.

Angel split up the search for the Dawn Store and entered a mysterious Large Dream Bubble after suspecting it was connected to Juanjuan and fate. In the real world, Granny Tang learned that Mia could not find Moon Dew in her dream and went to investigate.

• At Babylon Monastery, Glaimo and Uriel reunited with Ligota, who explained that recovered childhood memories had led her to stay there.
• Blanche proposed searching for the Dawn Store in separate groups, and Angel gave everyone Cyclones so they could contact him if they found it.
• Angel showed Luigi three anomalous Dream Power locations and sent him to investigate them while Angel returned to the Large Dream Bubble Juanjuan had nearly encountered.
• After Luigi told Angel about Juanjuan's claims to represent fate, Angel entered the Dream Bubble and met a girl named Lulu in a Witch's Cottage.
• At Rumbadi Shop, Granny Tang's potion batch failed, and Mia reported that she had entered a dream but had not found Moon Dew.
• Granny Tang suspended mead-making and flew out to investigate why Moon Dew was missing from the dream.

Angel met Lulu, a young Dream Guest who disliked fairy tales, and created an immersive illusion to tell her The Witch's Delivery. As Lulu watched, a sprout began to grow in the cottage; Angel also learned she had never left home because her mother warned that Dream Beasts would eat her.

• Angel chose not to control Lulu with an illusion and asked what kind of story she wanted to hear.
• Lulu rejected fairy tales and asked for a story for adults, explaining she meant stories about grown-ups and their adventures.
• Angel showed Lulu a new selection of stories, and she chose The Witch's Delivery.
• Angel created an immersive illusion of the story, and Lulu was moved by its living world; a green sprout began to emerge in a flowerpot.
• Angel recalled that Lulu's real name was Moon Dew and that her mother, Moon Bell, had been gone for a long time.
• Moon Dew told Angel that she had never left home because her mother said Dream Beasts outside would eat her, prompting Angel's curiosity.

Angel guided Moon Dew through The Witch's Delivery Service, where she befriended Kiki and watched her grow. Moon Dew revealed that she had never left home because she feared the dangers of dreams, and after the story ended, Angel offered to take her to a city in the Dream Realm.

• Moon Dew became immersed in Kiki's story and explored its city while Angel adjusted the illusion to let her participate.
• Moon Dew told Angel that her mother had forbidden her from going outside and that she feared dream beasts and entering other people's dreams.
• Angel suspected Moon Dew was connected to the Flower Moon Fairies and Dream Honey, then arranged for Kiki to ask what kind of dream Moon Dew wanted.
• Moon Dew said her dreams never changed, and later tried to fly with Kiki to help rescue people aboard a malfunctioning flying ship.
• Angel explained that they were only audiences in a story, but let Moon Dew fly after she asked to see Kiki through to the ending.
• Kiki saved the passengers and embraced Moon Dew before the illusion dissolved, and Angel again offered to take Moon Dew to a city in a dream.

After Angel’s story inspired Moon Dew to leave her cottage, she agreed to travel with him to Dawn’s Dream and revealed that she had always lived in dreams. As they prepared to go, Moon Dew gave Angel a crystal thorn rose that the Wonderland Authority began trying to identify.

• Moon Dew decided to leave her cottage and visit the peaceful city Angel had offered after the story made her eager to explore the world.
• Moon Dew trusted Angel because her mother’s crystal ball detected no malice from him, and she packed a magical handbag before they departed.
• Angel learned that Moon Dew had never lived in reality and did not know whether she belonged to the Deep Dream Civilization.
• Moon Dew fetched her flying broom and a blooming crystal thorn rose, then offered the flower to Angel.
• Angel sensed the Wonderland Authority trying to name the crystal thorn rose and accepted it despite its unexplained status.

Angel brought Moon Dew from the Witch’s Cottage into Dawn’s Dream, where she learned about the dream city and considered how it worked. As Angel studied the naming process affecting her belongings, Moon Dew fell asleep before he could ask her more.

• Angel showed Moon Dew an exit inside the Witch’s Cottage, and she entered it willingly after questioning how he had reached her home.
• Angel brought Moon Dew to Rumbadi Shop in Dawn’s Dream and explained that the city replicated the real Dawn City.
• Angel took Moon Dew to the Flower Moon Fairies’ workshop and waited while she processed what she had learned.
• Angel sensed Wonderland Authority gathering around Moon Dew’s handbag and broom as it began assigning them names and records.
• Angel deduced that Wonderland Authority could not control Dream Bubbles directly and needed outside help to escort Dream Guests into Dawn’s Dream.
• Moon Dew snored while Angel watched her think.

Angel kept Moon Dew awake to learn about her impressions of Dawn's Dream and walked with her along the River of Troubles. After answering his question about the Crystal Thorn Rose, Moon Dew fell asleep on a bridge, wanting to drift off to the sound of the water.

• Angel used Nightmare Illusion to rouse Moon Dew, then invited her to explore Dawn City with him.
• Moon Dew described Dawn's Dream as both orderly and chaotic, and Angel explained how Dream Bubbles fit into the realm's rules.
• As they walked along the River of Troubles, Moon Dew explained that her Reality Anchor was in Dawn City, which accounted for her Dream Bubble appearing there.
• Moon Dew stopped on a bridge, answered Angel's questions about the Crystal Thorn Rose, and fell asleep beside the river.

Angel put the sleeping Moon Dew in an illusion cottage and investigated the Drunken Thorn Rose, the Wonderland Authority’s verification system, and Moon Dew’s dream-made belongings. He left a note for Moon Dew and went to find the Dawn Store, while an old fairy drifted in a dream bubble through the Sea Beyond Dreams.

• Angel created a cozy cabin on the bridge, carried sleeping Moon Dew inside, and opened a window so she could sleep to the sound of the River of Troubles.
• Angel tested the Text Panel’s glossary verification by submitting false and then accurate explanations for “Gourmet Wizard”; the accurate entry passed and raised the Drunken Thorn Rose’s information completeness to 25%.
• Angel considered trading the Drunken Thorn Rose to Juanjuan but postponed deciding until he could ask Moon Dew, since the flower would dissolve in seven days and revealing its origin might expose her.
• Angel examined Moon Dew’s flying broom and handbag, found them to be dream power shaped into false material forms, and left her a note with a Nightmare Illusion Node before leaving.
• Angel went to check the Dawn Store after Luigi reported finding it, while an old fairy in a bubble surfaced from the seabed of the Sea Beyond Dreams.

Angel confirmed the location of Dawn Store, then gathered information from Blanche and Ms. Moon to complete entries on special dream plants and temporal sense. The chapter ended with Juanjuan suspecting Angel’s questions and the entries were connected to it.

• Luigi investigated the first two anomaly points but could not pass their sealed barriers, then found Dawn Store at the third point and informed Angel.
• Angel submitted Blanche’s information about special dream plants, including their origins in the life-will of beings who died in their sleep, and the entry reached 40% completeness.
• Ms. Moon explained temporal-sense disasters and said they began when Poetry City, an object of disorder now held by the Prophet’s Temple, eroded the Source World’s fundamental laws.
• Angel submitted the temporal-sense entry, raising information completeness to 55%, while the group waited for Moon Dew to investigate the remaining entries.
• Ms. Moon and Mr. Sun wondered why Angel seemed connected to a mysterious hunter, and Juanjuan said fate gave it no guidance about Angel and suspected the entries were connected to it.

Angel and Luigi discovered the Pointed Hat Magic Workshop, a magical pocket dimension in Dawn’s Dream, but found that its store was still inactive. Angel used his authority vision to uncover the activation condition: the workshop would open when Dawn’s Dream welcomed its tenth dream traveler.

• Luigi led Angel to the floating pointed hat at Tungus Little Bookshop, and Angel entered the Pointed Hat Magic Workshop.
• Angel and Luigi explored the workshop, met the other visitors, and learned from the clerk’s notification that the store had not met its activation requirements.
• Luigi guessed that the workshop needed enough people to activate, but his test failed even after Blanche, Camilo, the Sun and Moon Wizards, and Juanjuan arrived.
• Angel explained that he had used authority vision through the Wonderland Inscription to discover the workshop would open when Dawn’s Dream welcomed its tenth dream traveler.

Angel and Juanjuan left the Tungus Little Bookshop to talk privately, where Juanjuan asked why Angel had questioned Moon about certain terms. Angel explained that Juanjuan’s sense of fate might be connected to those terms, but the chapter ended before he gave his answer.

• Angel told the group that only three more Dream Bubbles were needed to activate the Dawn Store, and the others split up to clear them.
• Luigi asked Angel about the special Dream Bubble at Rumbadi Shop, and Angel agreed to take him to meet its unusual Dream Guest later.
• Juanjuan privately summoned Angel after Luigi left, and the two went to a secluded shop to talk.
• Angel gave Juanjuan a dried-fish pendant before Juanjuan asked why he had questioned Moon about several terms.
• Juanjuan said fate favored it and that its inspiration connected Angel’s questions to its own fate, while Angel noted that the Book of Kel could anchor fate.
• Angel agreed to answer Juanjuan’s questions, but stopped before explaining further.

Angel showed Juanjuan the Drunken Thorn Rose, whose revealed information identified it as a source of Dream Honey that could resist temporal sensation. Juanjuan agreed to provide Angel with information in exchange for the plant, and Angel said it came from a familiar Dream Bubble.

• Juanjuan agreed to answer Angel’s questions, and Angel explained that he needed information to unseal an item.
• Angel revealed the Drunken Thorn Rose, and Juanjuan saw its description linking it to Dream Honey and resistance to temporal sensation.
• Juanjuan tried to persuade Angel to sell or give it the plant, but Angel offered it in exchange for occasional information instead.
• Juanjuan accepted the information exchange, and Angel said he would give it the plant after completing its information.
• Angel told Juanjuan the Drunken Thorn Rose came from a special Dream Bubble that Juanjuan already knew.

Angel and Juanjuan discussed how fate had led Drunken Thorn Rose to Juanjuan through Angel, then considered how dream plants could be brought into reality. After Juanjuan left to seek help from the Sun and Moon Wizards, Angel began clearing more dream bubbles to earn Dawn Points.

• Juanjuan explained that fate had concealed the dream bubble from it because it could not have obtained Drunken Thorn Rose on its own, and Angel had ultimately brought the rose to it.
• Angel told Juanjuan that Moon Dew had given him the Drunken Thorn Rose, but he could not currently contact her or explain how Flower Moon Fairies brought dream roses into reality.
• Juanjuan said it would ask the Sun and Moon Wizards about bringing Drunken Thorn Roses into reality, then hurried off to find them.
• Angel checked that Moon Dew remained asleep and saw that most of the others had entered dream bubbles; he had 912 Dawn Points.
• Angel entered a large basement dream bubble and cleared it by using Nightmare Illusion Control to guide out a homeless man, though the dream bubble's strong autonomy slowed him down.

Angel calculated how Dawn Points were awarded, shared the formula with the other Challengers, and examined the newly opened Dawn Store. He found that its Dreamsoil permission could make Hat Magic usable beyond Dawn's Dream, but the store’s broader potential remained unclear.

• Angel compared Dream Guest countdowns and confirmed that a Large Dream Bubble awarded 100 Dawn Points for up to four hours, with longer stays earning proportional points.
• Angel shared his Dawn Point formula through Cyclone and returned to Tungus Little Bookshop, where Blanche, Camilo, Ms. Moon, and Shi En had succeeded while Luigi had failed.
• Luigi activated the Dawn Store and entered an exchange booth to inspect its list, while Angel and the others opened their own booths.
• Angel reviewed the Standard List and found that Hat Magic required Dawn Points to buy and cast, while its use was normally restricted to Dawn's Dream.
• Angel found the Special Permission: Dreamsoil, which cost 5,000 Dawn Points and let Dream Power fund Hat Magic that could be used outside Dawn's Dream.

Angel revealed that the Clock Shop and Borderlands permissions granted access to two other Dawn Stores, though he had not yet explored what they sold. He suggested one might carry the Dream Trapping Authority Luigi needed, restoring Luigi’s hope.

• Luigi emerged from a cubicle dejected because the Pointed Hat Magic Workshop did not offer Dream Trapping Authority, while the others discussed buying Forced Withdrawal and Slumber Soil Authority.
• Camilo and Blanche explained useful Hat Magic spells and Dream Guest behavior to the group, then suggested investigating the Clock Shop and Borderlands permissions.
• Angel revealed that he had spent 1,200 Dawn Points on both permissions, surprising everyone.
• Angel explained that the permissions let their holders enter two other Dawn Stores in Dawn's Dream, and promised to report what they sold.
• Angel suggested to Luigi that Dream Trapping Authority might be available in one of the new Dawn Stores, and Luigi's hope returned.

Angel entered the new Dawn Store, Titi Titi's Clock Shop, while Nomephins told Liriel that she would learn the price of exchanging for a way to preserve Asui's consciousness only after a perfect clear of the labyrinth. The chapter ended with Angel exploring the store's strange, season-divided rainforest and entering its three-story clock pavilion.

• Angel left Pointed Hat Magic Workshop and traveled to Tick-Tock Clock Shop, where Nomephins contacted him about Liriel's request to preserve Asui's consciousness.
• Angel told Nomephins to let Decayer and Liriel continue without hindrance and to contact him when they cleared the labyrinth.
• Liriel agreed to risk losing her access to the Deep Dream Civilization in exchange for a method to preserve consciousness, but Nomephins said the answer and price would be revealed at the labyrinth's end after a perfect clear.
• Nomephins warned Liriel and Decayer that they had to collect every element, so Decayer led them toward the mechanical alchemical constructs.
• Angel entered the Dawn Store called Titi Titi's Clock Shop and found a rainforest divided into four seasonal regions beneath a clock dome.
• Angel reached the pavilion at the center of the rainforest and opened its first-floor door.

Angel explored the three floors of Ti Ti Ti Clock Shop and discovered that its triplet-run stores offered dream-only items, Wonderland Items usable across the Dream Crystal Plain, and a newly revealed Special Permissions list. He opened Tiade's list but had not yet learned what permissions it contained.

• Angel opened the first-floor Dawn Store and found Tinar Clock Shop's Pseudo-Wonderland Items, many of which helped teams tackle Dream Bubbles.
• Angel went upstairs and discovered that Tiniwa Clock Shop sold similar items as genuine Wonderland Items that could be used throughout the Dream Crystal Plain, though they cost far more and had limited stock.
• Angel considered how grinding Dream Bubbles could help ordinary people obtain Wonderland Items and sustain Dawn's Dream, while wondering why Wonderland Authority worked so hard to preserve it.
• Angel reached the chapel-like third floor and found Tiade Clock Shop's Special Permissions list.
• Angel opened the Special List, curious whether it contained the permission Luigi wanted for trapping people in dreams.

Angel summoned the group to Pointed Hat Magic Workshop and used illusion nodes to show them the Clock Shop’s exchange lists, including Wonderland items and related special permissions. The group examined the new options, while Luigi remained frustrated that he still had not found the Dreamtrap permission he needed for the Uriel Instance.

• Blanche returned to the workshop and learned that Uriel and Shi En had gone to tackle dream bubbles, while Mr. Sun and Ms. Moon were temporarily offline.
• Angel announced that he was heading to Borderlands and had left an illusion node in the workshop to display the Clock Shop’s information.
• Blanche and the others entered the illusion and inspected the Clock Shop’s three floors of exchange items and special permissions.
• Blanche decided that genuine second-floor Wonderland items should take priority over the third-floor permissions, while Juanjuan told her to earn more Dawn Points first.
• Luigi found no Dreamtrap permission among the Clock Shop’s options and worried that reaching it in Borderlands would cost thousands of Dawn Points.

Angel reached Borderlands Exhibition Hall, where he confirmed it stood at a boundary between dreams and reality and discovered that its displays offered Special Permissions. He examined permissions for finding nightmares and erotic dreams, then found a fog-filled case labeled Dreamfall.

• Angel followed a rift into Borderlands and crossed the Cloud Cliff to the exhibition hall, where he saw a brightly lit Dawn City below and concluded the place connected dreams and reality.
• Angel entered the hall and learned that its exhibits offered temporary permissions for rent and occasionally permanent permissions.
• Angel examined the Nightmare Seeking permission, which permanently highlighted Dream Bubbles containing nightmares, and noted it cost 2,000 Dawn Points.
• Angel inspected the Pink Seeker permission, which highlighted erotic-dream bubbles for one use at a cost of 50 Dawn Points.
• Angel approached a huge display case filled with fog and read its label: Dreamfall.

Angel discovered that the Dreamfall Authority could send Dreamfallers from Dawn’s Dream into anchored Dawn City, then found the Dream Registry Permission that could let Moon Dew enter Dawn’s Dream whenever she chose. He decided to redeem the permission before Moon Dew’s remaining time ran out.

• Angel learned that Dreamfallers could enter Dawn City through the Dreamfall Authority, remain for a day by default, and travel beyond the anchored region with an Anchor Manager’s help.
• Angel concluded that Wonderland Authority had anchored Dawn City to expand its reach and that Dreamfallers could help it grow.
• Angel examined the other authorities, then found the Dream Registry Permission, which could give a guided Dream Guest a lucid identity in Dawn’s Dream.
• Angel decided to obtain the permission for Moon Dew so she could return to Dawn’s Dream regularly and leave the Witch’s Cottage.
• Angel realized Moon Dew had only about five hours left in Dawn’s Dream and hurried to redeem the permission before she was sent back.
