Chapter 386: Bengtie x Pinoconi x In Our Time 16
#三月七: ...We will definitely catch the mastermind, not only for Pinocchio, but also for the sacrifices of the three predecessors!
#Qiong: Yes...their sacrifice and Mikhail's experience are inseparable from the mastermind behind the scenes!
#robins: Well, I will never allow the betrayer to use the reputation of being a traitor to do such evil things.
#Sunday: But if the person who activated the star core was already in Pinoconi before the family arrived... then who would this person be... and why...
#Gold Dust: The family 'happens' to have the knowledge to seal the star core, 'happens' to receive the invitation from the watchmaker and enthusiastically come to help? 'happens' to activate the star core, forcing Pinocchio to rely on the family's seal? 'happens' to help Mikhail quell the civil unrest?
#Elhaisen: It is obvious that the star core has not been sealed, otherwise the Gala Star would not have become a star core disaster.
#robins: ...Perhaps, in the worst-case scenario, the representative of the "family" who came to Pinocchio...has problems of its own? The watchmaker was unaware of all this, at least until things got serious, he hadn't discovered it...
#Paimon: Could it be that the so-called help had a purpose from the beginning?
#…We don’t know how much he trusted ‘Master Mu’. In the end, he still felt… a little guilty. Perhaps, this was not their original purpose, and that person really wanted to help us.
#Mockingbird: Are you saying that there may be more behind this that has not been revealed...?
#Who knows? No matter how much we know, no one knows the secrets behind these things better than the parties involved.
[However, the star core was not sealed, but was changed into a form existing in dreams. In this huge dream, people who are addicted to the dream are eroded by happiness, and their spirit and body have only one ending, that is death. In the end, everyone becomes the placenta of the dream.
Today, Pinocchio has become an even more impregnable prison.
However, when the watchmaker discovered it, it was too late. The family's power was no longer something he could shake, and the opponents were controlled or expelled.
With nowhere else to go, Gallagher hid in the Dream Reef with the help of mysterious power, and spent several years inventing the "sleep" in his dreams.
#三月七: It’s actually true…The star core has never been sealed from the beginning…
#Doctor: This is like a sugar-coated bullet. The spirit is addicted and no longer awakens. It becomes fragile. The spirit that could have become strong loses the possibility of growth. Then, with the death of the spirit, the body will also die.
#Bronya: If... I mean if, after Beloberg's star core was used by my mother... could it also...
#Different star cores will show different effects depending on the environment and the user. Beloberg's core brings about rifts and ice and snow.
#Doctor: Alas, sometimes, no matter how strong a person's appearance is, if he does not have enough to support his strong spirit... then he will become fragile.
#Paimon: Speaking of which, 'confused, lazy, cowardly'... sounds like it's referring to someone...
#Doctor: Hey, hey, the heroic spirits say this to me every day, why are you... I'm going to be sad!
#Gallagher: Hmm? The truly cowardly people cannot support the future of their world. I'm afraid they were scared to death at the beginning.
#Doctor: Are you praising me?
#Gallagher: Of course, you are strong enough to face the future of the destruction of the world
#Paimon: Yes, if he was a real coward, he would have run away long ago.
#Doctor: Apart from Chaldea, there is nowhere I can escape to...
#三月七: ...Are you shy because of being praised?
#藤丸立香: It is indeed~
#Doctor: However, those people in the family must have planned it from the beginning... Wait, could it be that the people who came at the beginning were the "traitors"? It was just because the watchmaker was the one in charge at the beginning that they acted in secret... Or, in other words, the one who really invited the family was not the watchmaker who made the invitation, but someone like Gallagher now... who actually activated the star core...
#robins: I don't know, but there is no doubt that I am a member of the 'harmony', even if I was raised by a 'betrayer'... even if... but I believe that most people in the family are unaware of it
#Sunday:……
#Gopherwood: Alas…
#Paimon: Hmm... No wonder Misha called it 'Mianmian'. It turns out that the real name of 'What is Towards Death' is 'Slumber'... What really does not exist in the dream is sleep, not death...
#Traveler: Because normally, if you fall asleep again in a dream, you will wake up in the next second.
#Doctor: After all, if you really enter deep sleep, time will pass very quickly.
[Gallah sent out the invitation in the name of the watchmaker in order to find the faction that could solve the star core crisis and thereby lure out the traitor in the family.
As for the location of the star core, we have to ask Sunday and the others.
Liuying was not surprised to hear this information. The core of the matter was still the star core.
Sunday, who had talked to his sister about the star core, told them after being asked about the star core that the star core was the Pinocchio Theater itself, and suggested that the person who did all this was probably Gophermu, the dream master.
The robin looked at Sunday and said that even if the traitor was Mr. Gopherwood who raised them, she would not go on stage, because she did not want the Harmony Ceremony to be turned into a ceremony to destroy "harmony".
Sunday was silent for a while and then agreed with his sister's words. He told everyone that he and his sister would go to the dream to confront the dreamer immediately. Gallagher disagreed a little, and Walter decided to go with the brother and sister. 】
#3月七: But up to now, it seems that only we and the Star Core Hunter have discovered it... No one else cares about the company envoy who has ideas about Pinoconi himself...
#花火: Oh, after all, this stage is not for those of us who are not at the core of the script to appear~ The scripts for Little Peacock and the professor have also been completed~ The rest, of course, is up to you~
#三月七: Eh?!
#Paimon: The inheritance is gone too...
#沙金: I don’t think so. This person is a fictional historian… Who knows if there are some people who didn’t say the whole thing because of someone else?
#Sunday:……
#Gallagher: Huh, guess what.
#沙金: But if the star core is the legacy, maybe the star core hunter will be very interested? Coincidentally, there is a star core hunter present~
#流萤: ...It depends on whether it is written in the script.
#Paimon: Hmm...Mr. Sunday, you're being called a nickname again.
#Sunday: Can't you just let go of my wings?
#沙金: Haha~
