"A souvenir... heh, do you think I believe that?" Silver Wolf stretched, then realized that wasn't quite right and changed his words:
"Well, to be honest, the Church of Eternity can't offer any decent gifts. Aside from the life-size figurine of the [ Eternity ] Aeon, the only other thing the Chair truly cherishes is a bar of soap."
Ye Yan couldn't refute Silver Wolf's words, because Blake really did give the Family two bars of soap, one for combat and the other for bathing.
Putting everything else aside, the [ The Family ] is quite interested in this soap. It's as mysterious as Stellaron, and figuring out its structure would be quite troublesome.
They were very Curiosity about what kind of soap could have such magic that everyone who used it loved it so much, and even used it as a snack when they were hungry on the streets.
Meanwhile, Gallagher and his group found the Sunday siblings.
"Have you finished your discussion? So, are you willing to tell us where that [ Stellaron ] is?"
"... Sunday looked sorrowful," he said, "It... is the Penacony Grand Theater itself."
"Just as I thought, the embodiment of the Family, the building that first appeared in my dream... it's the culprit that turned Penacony into this state," the Robin remarked from the side.
"And the person who accomplished all this using the Stellaron... is probably Mr. Gopher Wood, who is now the [ Dream Master ]."
Gallagher wasn't surprised. "Oh, this went even more smoothly than I expected. You identified the suspect so quickly. Or did you do a thorough investigation beforehand?"
"You're right." Sunday nodded. "In the investigation of my sister's murderer, besides you... he was my second most suspected person."
"It seems your decision to confront me first was quite correct," Gallagher said with a smile.
"I had no other choice. The Dream Master is always elusive, rarely seen even by the heads of the various clans."
Sunday lowered her head. "Besides... Mr. Gopher Wood has been kind to my sister and me, and I really don't want to face this outcome."
"To be honest, my brother and I are also victims of the Cancer of All Worlds. We were orphans from a young age and were raised by the Family that came to our aid. Mr. Gopher Wood saw that we were qualified, so he brought my brother and me to Penacony."
The Robin and Sunday looked at each other and continued:
"But we cannot stand by and watch Mr. Gopher Wood walk towards the opposite of [ Harmony ], and I certainly cannot use my song to praise a sinful cause—"
"No matter who the traitor in the Family is, no matter what orders he gives me, I will not go on stage to sing. We must never turn the Charmony Festival into a ritual that Destruction [ Harmony ]..."
"For our ideal Paradise."
From an angle imperceptible to most, a shadow crossed Sunday's face, but he maintained his smile.
"Hmm... for our ideal Paradise."
"Hey, his expression just changed! Did you see it?"
The Silver Wolf, who was not far away, witnessed this scene and nudged Ye Yan next to it.
"A classic trope, siblings turning against each other... Everyone on this Penacony is a master of acting."
Silver Wolf realized another problem and looked at Ye Yan: "By the way, regarding Penacony's survival, I still don't know the [ Church of Eternity's] stance."
"I'm not from the Church, so looking at me won't help."
Ye Yan shrugged and said that his stance was flexible and changeable. In any case, Aha wouldn't cause any trouble this time. At most, he would just use his face to cause some mischief in the dream.
As soon as he finished speaking, Silver Wolf's expression became even more expectant.
"So... does that mean we'll get to see you fight with Chair Blake?"
Ye Yan:?
"How did you deduce that... Never mind, as far as I know, the Family's cooperation with the Church fell apart, and they've already been kicked out by the [ Dream Master ]."
"What?!" Silver Wolf exclaimed in surprise. " Penacony's Dream Master has this ability? After driving away the two [ Emanator ], could they possibly summon two [ The Great Septimus ]?"
Ye Yan's words poured cold water on Silver Wolf once again. Didn't this mean the Church was going to oppose the Family? She had never seen a faction dare to refuse [ Eternity ] before; she had learned something new.
"Let's guess again, where will the Church members go after leaving the Clock Studios Paradise?"
Silver Wolf fell silent. Wasn't that all that remained—this [ Land of Exile ]?
Wait, doesn't that mean... the Church of Eternity is located at Dreamflux Reef?
"This place is not safe to stay any longer, I'll be leaving now."
"Bye-Bye."
Ye Yan politely waved goodbye to Silver Wolf as usual, but the gesture looked very strange to onlookers.
"Ah, Teacher Ye Yan is waving at the air again."
March 7th grumbled, "Could there really be some supernatural creatures on Dreamflux Reef... Ugh, how scary! I'd better not think about it any further."
"As the head of the Oak Family, it is my duty to Penacony's future. Robin and I will immediately head to Dreamland and find a way to confront the Dream Master."
"If the Family truly deviates from [ Harmony ]... I will stand with you all, halt the Charmony Festival, and personally repay the blood debt owed by Mr. Gopher Wood."
Gallagher cautioned, "The enemies you're about to face, or rather, your enemies, aren't as easily bullied as this old dog of mine; they won't fall apart at the slightest touch..."
"Since we all share a common goal, why don't we work together? Perhaps there's still a chance of success."
"We have come here following in the footsteps of the Nameless, and there is no reason not to continue following in his footsteps."
March 7th strongly agrees with Himeko's words; she truly is our navigator! The Nameless is not the type to back down when faced with difficulties.
" The Astral Express Crew will not stand idly by in this matter, Mr. Sunday, Miss Robin. I am willing to accompany you on behalf of the Astral Express."
Welt proposed this, giving the following reasons:
"Having a third party present should make negotiations go more smoothly. And if there's any danger... having another person is always a good thing."
" Mr. Welt is right, but this candidate... perhaps we should consider a different one."
Ye Yan's sudden appearance surprised March 7th and the others.
"Huh? Teacher Ye Yan, you're not planning to sneak back to the bubble tea shop to rest behind our backs, are you?"
" March 7th, how could you think of Ye Yan like that?"
Normally, Xing would definitely offer a few more comments in support of March 7th, but the situation has changed now.
Besides, we can't always let Mr. Welt take such risks. Emanator just went with the [ Nihility ] envoy not long ago, and now he has to face Penacony's [ Dream Master ].
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Ye Yan."
On Sunday, looking at Ye Yan, Robin had told him about Ye Yan's identity—an ordinary [ Eternity ] Walker. Perhaps he could use this opportunity to consult him more about matters concerning the Church of Eternity.
But one thing bothered Sunday: why did the ' Masked Fools ' impersonate Ye Yan to find him? Was he implying something?
" The Charmony Festival festival is about to begin, and time is running out. Everyone—we must set off."
