Sparkle: We Said We'd Be Together for Our Whole Lives~

Let's look into Misha first.

"I'm going to the Real-Life the Reverie now, are you coming?"

"Of course I'm going! Hehe, how can I miss out on something this fun?"

Sparkle grinned and squatted down, then took off the mask from her head, disappearing in the blink of an eye the moment it covered her face.

Seeing this, Lin Shuang didn't delay and left Dreamscape on the spot as well.

Splash--

The sound of splashing water came from the Dream Pool.

Lin Shuang got out of the water, and the flowing liquid did not wet her clothes.

Lin Shuang glanced at the time.

From the moment I entered the dream until I exited, it took less than half a System Hour.

Firefly hasn't replied yet; I don't know if she's resting or busy.

Lin Shuang put away her phone and left her room.

Compared to the temporarily closed the Reverie in my dreams.

The hotel itself was quite lively.

Tenants and Hotel Staff coming and going.

Occasionally, you can also see Bloodhound.

The only downside is that this hotel is just too big.

Even though there are elevators everywhere, it can still take half a System Hour just to walk from the first floor to the lobby.

Portable transportation is even available for guests to use by the roadside.

Regardless of where the Sparkle would come from, Lin Shuang took the elevator alone to the floor where the lobby was located.

Just as I was leaving the elevator.

Sparkle's little head peeked out from beside me.

"Hey~ This is probably the first time we've met in real life!"

Sparkle was just like in the Dreamscape, tiptoeing as it tried to get closer to Lin Shuang's ear.

Unfortunately, there was nothing to stand on, so he could only barely reach Lin Shuang's shoulder.

It looks a bit ridiculous.

"It really is the first time."

Lin Shuang smiled and nodded, but in her heart she wondered if she had a chance to catch Sparkle and do the same thing she had done to her in her dream.

Where are we going now?

Sparkle solemnly pulled out a map of the Reverie and put on a detective hat that she had gotten from who-knows-where.

He was even holding a pipe in his hand.

They seem to be enjoying themselves.

Go ask the receptionist for someone's information.

The Reverie is so big.

It's no longer a situation where you can easily get information just by relying on your network of colleagues.

God knows how many thousands of Hotel Staff this hotel needs.

It's impossible for a normal person to remember so many colleagues' names.

The only option is to go to the front desk and ask the staff there to help you search the database.

"So, Detective Little White Hair, may I ask you? Who is the suspect we're looking for this time?"

Sparkle hopped and skipped around, raising her hand.

It looks like he's going to play the role of Detective Assistant.

"... Not a suspect."

"Yes, that's the witness!"

"No... never mind, why should I argue with you about this?"

Lin Shuang, who had originally intended to explain, chose to give up the moment their eyes met.

This guy is just having fun; she might know exactly what's going on in her mind.

"I'm looking for a Doorman named Misha, or at least someone who calls himself Doorman."

"Oh... a creepy guy working as Doorman at the Reverie is certainly suspicious."

Watching the Sparkle, she pulled out a notebook from somewhere and started taking notes while talking to herself.

Lin Shuang was speechless and chose to ignore the guy's antics.

What's so scary about Doorman?

"This is Penacony's only large hotel, the Reverie. With this kind of customer traffic, Doorman here would probably have at least the ability to be in two places at once."

"Hiss..."

Seeing how seriously Sparkle was analyzing the situation, Lin Shuang, who had initially wanted to refute it, suddenly realized what was going on.

Goodness, it really is true.

The Reverie claims to be a 'hotel'.

But damn, there's only one Penacony hotel on the entire planet.

The guest room floors alone are so long you can't see the end of them.

It's perfectly reasonable to say that the visitor volume here is on par with that of Starport.

The position of Doorman should ideally be broken down into several roles with separate responsibilities.

Thinking about this...

Lin Shuang glanced at Sparkle, who was talking to herself with her head down.

This guy...

You didn't come here just to order your own food, did you?

With that thought in mind, Lin Shuang and the two quickly walked to the front desk.

As expected, the result was the same as anticipated.

"Doorman? Sorry, the Reverie hasn't had Doorman position for a long time... After all, as you can see, the Reverie is quite large, and each staff member only provides service in a fixed area and doesn't move long distances unnecessarily."

"... Then, could you please help me check if there's a hotel staff member named 'Misha'? He has light blue hair and looks a bit thin."

"I'm sorry, there are 34 staff members with the same name, but none of them match the appearance you described."

The girl at the counter even showed Lin Shuang the screen.

Clearly, none of them match Misha's appearance.

Chapter 331 Sparkle: We promised to be together forever~

"Um..."

In the bar of the Reverie.

A small cubicle.

Lin Shuang held a glass of low-alcohol cocktail and sipped it slowly.

Beside her, Sparkle sat in a chair, lightly swinging her feet that barely touched the ground.

Lin Shuang's inquiries with the service desk regarding Misha were unsuccessful, and she had no other options at the moment.

Given the many suspicious points, I decided to come to the bar for a drink.

Take some time to calm down and rest.

Let me gather my thoughts.

Beside Lin Shuang, Sparkle's hands were fiddling with a jumble of parts on the table.

Because Sparkle had previously helped her assemble these, Lin Shuang recognized them as another of Sparkle's special bombs.

Even... Lin Shuang saw the small, incredibly powerful bomb itself, placed right in front of her.

Lin Shuang expressed her confusion.

It's understandable that Sparkle could make bombs in Dreamscape.

The Stellaron does indeed function within the Dreamscape.

Finding the Stellaron doesn't necessarily mean finding a specific location.

Just like Sparkle said, the Penacony Grand Theater is right at the center of Dreamscape. As long as the amount is right, it is possible to use Dreamscape to manipulate the Stellaron.

Furthermore, because Sparkle didn't hesitate to target that spot for destruction.

This led Lin Shuang to suspect that the Stellaron might just be hidden inside the Grand Theater.

But no matter what, at least the scope of Dreamscape is limited, and there are clues to follow.

But in reality...

The entire planet Penacony is so large, yet its Stellaron doesn't release its power in reality.

Can you find out where Stellaron is hidden in reality?

Lin Shuang took another sip of the refreshing drink and then posed the question to Sparkle.

She had assumed that Sparkle must know something to be making the bomb there.

But to everyone's surprise, Sparkle chuckled and then honestly shook her head:

"I didn't know. I only heard about Stellaron in Dreamscape because of you. How would I know about things in reality?"

"..."

Hearing such irresponsible words, Lin Shuang glanced down at the small Sparkle bomb that was already almost complete.

Although no words were spoken, the meaning was self-evident.

But to everyone's surprise, Sparkle smiled with her lips pursed.

"The Stellaron has enough bombs from our dreams, even though they're not finished yet."

"So what are you trying to do? You're not the kind of person who would bomb a hotel for no reason, are you?"

Lin Shuang felt that as long as there was fun, Sparkle would definitely not hesitate to bomb the hotel.

But isn't that a bit boring?

The most interesting things happen in Dreamscape.

Including things like Misha and Origami Bird.

Sparkle was clearly very interested in these two things she couldn't see.

"Do you really want to know? Really? Really?"

Sparkle propped her head up and moved her face closer to Lin Shuang.

He looked like he was plotting something.

Then Lin Shuang reached out and pinched her cheek, pushing her away:

"Forget it, I have a feeling you have ulterior motives."

"What are you saying! What kind of talk is that! We're like family, do you think I'm that kind of person?!"

Sparkle squinted, slapped the table, and pouted, looking very dissatisfied with Lin Shuang.
