Little Gui, now changed into fresh clothes, returned to the camera.
It meant that from now on, I couldn't casually drink milk tea while going through the story.
Who knows, a seemingly ordinary conversation could take a shocking turn at any moment!
Revealing a secret that turns everything upside down…
In the game.
Old Yang and Stelle exchanged a glance.
"From the description, that meme is undoubtedly Death. Although the Family sees it as a nightmare, to the residents here… the reality seems quite different."
Misha grew a bit nervous: "D-death? How can there be death in dreams? Sleepy is a bit fierce and occasionally brings back innocent travelers by mistake, but it would never harm anyone!"
Old Yang paused for a moment,
then asked, "In that case, has it brought back any guests in the past couple of days? In fact, we're investigating a disappearance case within a sweet dream."
"I see… Then you should talk to Gallagher, but he's currently receiving visitors from the Oak Family and specifically instructed everyone not to disturb him."
("That's clearly Sunday!" Little Gui's voiceover.)
At this point.
Misha seemed to remember something and asked, "Hmm, Mr. Welt, the person you're looking for…"
"Could it be Miss Robin?"
"If you two are here for Miss Robin, I can lead the way. She's given instructions to receive outside guests."
Old Yang and Stelle exchanged another glance.
The meaning was clear.
This was yet another "pleasant surprise"!
"Then we'll leave it to you. Also, we're looking for a missing companion, a red-haired woman accompanied by a pink-haired girl. Do you happen to have any impression of them?"
"Hmm, not really… But don't worry, Dreamflux Reef isn't large, and it's not as bustling as the sweet dreams, but the security here is top-notch."
"How about this! Since you're visiting Dreamflux Reef for the first time, I'll act as your guide. First, I'll help you find your companions, and then we'll visit Miss Robin together."
"She's gone to Mrs. Grace's place to visit the children and won't be leaving anytime soon, so there should be enough time."
Old Yang: "Well, we'll gladly accept your offer."
...
Inside the recording studio.
"Side~by~side~"
Robin sang the last line of the song into the microphone.
Waiting for the final melody to end.
The song was finally recorded.
She took off her headphones.
And listened to her rendition of Sway to My Beat in Cosmos once more.
She had already recorded it several times before, but Robin always felt she hadn't reached perfection.
This time, she finally felt she had achieved the level she wanted!
"With this, the last song for the new album is complete~"
During the preparation period.
Robin had also considered many names for the new album.
In the end, it was during a conversation with Yu Ling that she settled on the most satisfying name — Air Cocoon!
She sent the news of the album's completion and the release date to Yu Ling.
Following the process.
Next.
It was time for the promotional phase!
She had been so busy preparing the new album that she hadn't paid much attention to the game's storyline, but Robin knew that Penacony had been quite turbulent recently.
So, this time, she didn't plan to rely on the Family's capital for promotion as she had before! (ahej)
In this era where everyone is a Honkai: Star Rail player.
She intended to promote it in a whole new way!
Robin logged into her game account first.
She didn't have many friends.
The first online friend on her list was named [Belobog Mechanic].
She sent a direct message.
[Serval, are you there?]
Yes.
The true identity of this friend was indeed Serval!
One was a renowned Halovian singer across the galaxy.
The other was a retro singer from a planet covered in ice...
They were from completely different worlds.
Yet now they had connected and shared much recognition and exchange on the path of music!
The universe today is truly incredible!
Robin still remembered.
At the time, there was a discussion on the game forum about the background music of Kafka's PV.
A player named [Belobog Mechanic] posted a comment that Robin found quite agreeable.
Because of this coincidence, the two began to communicate.
They then exchanged IDs and added each other as friends in the game.
They discussed and exchanged thoughts on various music in the game Honkai: Star Rail.
As a result, they became online friends who could talk about anything!
Eventually, they even revealed their identities to each other.
Turns out, they were kindred spirits!
Both were characters that appeared in the game!
Through this back-and-forth, they became even closer.
It was as if they were long-lost sisters!
A few seconds later.
Serval sent a reply.
[Belobog Mechanic: What's up, Robin?]
[Have you finally made up your mind? Are you willing to visit us in Belobog?]
[I've been looking forward to this day for so long!]
[Robin: Uh, not really…]
[You know I've been busy preparing for my new album recently… and now, the songs for the album have been recorded. I wanted to ask you to help me promote it.]
[Belobog Mechanic: The new album is done? That's great!]
[You've come to the right person for promotion. Don't worry, sis, I'll definitely help you with this!]
[How do you want me to promote it? Should I host a concert in Belobog and have you make a surprise guest appearance halfway through?]
[Robin: No, no…]
[Just help me record a VCR.]
[Belobog Mechanic: I'm hurt. So I'm not your best online friend anymore?]
[Robin: What are you thinking? You're the first person I came to.]
[Belobog Mechanic: Alright, alright, it's my honor to promote the galaxy's most popular Robin～]
After contacting Serval, Robin had another person in mind.
She opened the interface.
The top-ranked streamer was [Little Gui Guinevere].
Below the homepage, there was relevant information.
[For business collaborations, please contact directly…]
...
Little Gui's livestream.
In the current storyline.
Guinaifen was being led by Misha to tour this desolate town.
First, she successfully rendezvoused with March 7th.
Then, she found Himeko.
Himeko was talking to a local named Micah.
Micah introduced himself as a gravekeeper and one of the overseers of this Dreamflux land.
"Before we proceed, there's an important guest who will be joining you."
"This way, everyone. The roads in Dreamflux Reef are old and poorly maintained, so watch your step."
They navigated through the alleys of the town.
Soon, they reached their destination.
On a street corner.
Robin was standing in front of a group of children.
March 7th exclaimed in surprise, "That's really… Miss Robin!"
Guinaifen nodded.
She said, "Attention, everyone, this is the real Robin. The one in the dream was Sparkle pretending to be her."
"In the previous mission, Robin was found dead in the Dream Pool, suspected to have been stabbed by Death… no, now it should be called Sleepy Sleepy!"
"But in reality, she had already come to this Dreamflux Reef at that time!"
"And it seems she's been here for a while, getting familiar with the children here."
"Hehe, it seems the big star Robin is joining our protagonist team~"
Guinaifen happily ran towards Robin.
At that moment.
The Jade Abacus by her side rang.
This Jade Abacus had been specially treated; unless it was a business call, other harassing calls usually couldn't get through.
Guinaifen let out a dissatisfied hum.
"Who is it? So annoying!"
"Interrupting my meeting ceremony with Miss Robin!"
But Little Gui still pressed the answer button.
She said boldly, "Hello? I'm currently live-streaming the story. If it's not something important, please wait until this period is over before contacting me for cooperation..."
A soft clearing of the throat came from the other end, seemingly a bit awkward.
Then,
a voice as melodious as heavenly music sounded.
"Sorry, Miss Guinaifen."
"My apologies."
"I might have come at a bad time..."
Upon hearing this voice.
Guinaifen was completely stunned!
She glanced at the Jade Abacus, then at the live-streaming interface.
Her mouth slowly opened,
her expression gradually turning incredulous.
"Wait a minute...!!"
"You are..."
"The real Miss Robin!?"
"Ahhhhhhh... cough cough..."
"Uh, what was it...!"
"No problem, no problem, you came at the perfect time...!"
"No no, I mean, uh, you came at the right time!"
"Not interrupting at all, absolutely not interrupting!"
"Whatever it is, please take your time."
As she spoke, Guinaifen pressed the record button.
This heavenly voice, even when not singing, was as refreshing as a spring breeze.
Although it could be heard in the game, in reality... this feeling was even more genuine.
A rare opportunity!
Must record it, must record it!.
