Chapter 362: Unveiling the Untold Secrets Within the Cup! Restoring the Glory of the Iris Family's Troupe!
Penacony.
The Reverie Hotel, Dreamscape.
A woman with short golden hair was walking quickly down the corridor.
She wore a simple side-parted hairstyle, looking capable and spirited.
However.
The woman's expression at this moment was not very relaxed.
There was a faint look of worry between her brows.
In her hand.
Was a notice from the Hound Family.
The gist of it was that the Family was now clearing out The Reverie Hotel in the Dreamscape, so the bar she managed was about to be forcibly demolished.
The "Person Subject to Enforcement" column had her name written on it—[ Siobhan ].
"What a terrible time…"
"[ The Oneiric Dream ] has just ended, and yet I have to face such a problem."
"It won't do if those little ones have no one to take care of them."
The [ little ones ] Siobhan referred to were the various members of the Dreamjolt Troupe.
The Dreamjolt Bar she currently operated was specifically designed to serve these [ monsters ], helping them stabilize their emotions and return to their original forms.
Originally.
Everything was developing in a good direction.
Her mixology was also quite effective.
However, early this morning, she received the notice from the Hound Family!
"It seems that if I want to save the bar, I can only seek help from the Iris Family."
"What a pity, I had planned to watch the Honkai: Star Rail livestream with them today…"
Thinking this.
Siobhan quickened her pace.
If there was no one to look after the bar, she couldn't guarantee what those little monsters might do…
......
Inside the Dreamjolt Bar.
Spade, Mr. Bigiwg, and Lady were pacing in front of the bar counter.
"Siobhan isn't here. Didn't she promise to watch Honkai: Star Rail with me?" Spade asked, spinning the die in his hand.
Mr. Bigiwg wagged his tail and circled the bar counter.
He said in surprise: "Look! I found a note left by Siobhan—"
"She told us she has things to attend to and asked me to wait for her obediently in the bar."
Lady said softly: "Since that's the case, let's listen to Siobhan and sit here waiting for her."
"Wait for what? Siobhan left a note to do business, she definitely won't be back for a while. Let's just not wait for her and watch it ourselves first!" Spade suggested.
"Agreed!"
Although Lady expressed that they should still wait for Siobhan.
But the other two both insisted on watching the livestream first.
The minority had to bow to the majority.
They went over and turned on the screen inside the bar.
There were too many Honkai: Star Rail livestreams now; opening the streaming platform, they were everywhere. Spade was choosing a suitable stream.
Lady couldn't help but sigh: "Sigh, although I know it's a good game, it's really too unfriendly to us."
"Last time I met a human, she saw the smiley face on my display screen and actually asked me to give her some energy!"
"How rude!"
Mr. Bigiwg immediately chimed in: "That's considered lucky for you…"
"Those tourists, as soon as they see a Soda Hound like me, they want to come over and beat me up, saying they want me to drop some materials, wuwuwu…"
"In this short week, I've been beaten four times!"
"If Siobhan hadn't forbidden me from attacking those people, I would have already bitten off a chunk of their flesh!"
While the two Dreamjolt Troupe members were complaining, Spade had already selected a livestream.
"Let's watch this one!"
[ Penacony Side Quest, Event Story Livestream! ]
[ Current Progress: Vignettes in a Cup ]
Spade pointed at the screen and said with a grin: "We don't seem to have seen this part of the story."
"And have you noticed? The bar in here looks a lot like our Dreamjolt Bar!"
Mr. Bigiwg and Lady immediately leaned in to watch.
It really does!
And.
Not only is there a bar.
In this story, there's also Siobhan!
"This, this is our Dreamjolt Bar!"
"Huh?"
"Our bar actually appeared in the Honkai: Star Rail story?"
In the bottom right corner.
The female streamer spoke up: "Welcome new friends to our stream!"
"This quest is also very interesting~"
"Listening to Siobhan, we have to take her place as bartender for a while."
"The guests served at this bar are not ordinary guests."
"But… those monsters from the Dreamjolt Troupe that we often beat up on a daily basis!"
Since the [ Envision a Rose Forthcoming ] story last time.
The female streamer's channel had also become popular.
At this moment.
There were many people in the stream.
Many players were actively sending barrage comments.
...
"I did half of this quest today, it's actually quite interesting!"
"I didn't notice it during the main story, but now I realize Siobhan is actually quite pretty~"
"Siobhan was once one of the most dazzling stars in Penacony. If she hadn't retired, she would probably still be popular now."
"Huh? Is that so?"
"I think Siobhan could be a playable character, a four-star Fire Harmony unit!"
"Big sister is really pretty~"
...
Spade, Mr. Bigiwg, and Lady watched the stream in surprise.
Soon.
The tutorial ended.
They arrived at the first guest since the protagonist officially took over for Siobhan.
"Hey, let me see… A newbie? Don't tell me… you were dragged here to work because you signed a debt contract with Siobhan, right?"
Hearing this voice.
Mr. Bigiwg and Lady couldn't help but look at Spade.
Because.
The first guest was actually him!
Spade himself was stunned for a moment.
Subsequently.
He was overjoyed!
"I'm on TV!"
"No… I've entered the Honkai: Star Rail story! I've become a character in it!"
Mr. Bigiwg and Lady were simply envious.
They were part of the Dreamjolt Troupe…
Before this, they never imagined they would appear in the story!
Only the same types of monsters as them appeared as enemy units on the game map.
Their only purpose was to be killed by players!
To drop materials for players!
But now!
They had actually appeared as themselves!
This was something they couldn't even imagine!
The story continued.
Mr. Bigiwg and Lady, including Spade himself, were all looking forward to it.
Hoping for some good highlight performances in the story…
Perhaps it could save face for the Dreamjolt Troupe and boost the players' favorability toward the monsters.
However.
Spade started bad-mouthing Siobhan without any hesitation.
"Must be! I knew it. Siobhan looks gentle and soft-spoken, the kind of person who gets asked if they're interested in becoming a star just walking down the street, but she's definitely a devil in private!"
"Let's be direct, how much money do you owe her? Let's see… heh… can I help you make it up?"
The female streamer's eyes lit up: "Whoa? Are these monsters this kind-hearted?"
"Could this die monster be different from the others?"
"Is it a kind-hearted Dreamjolt Troupe member?"
[ Are you really that kind? ]
Spade said: "No way, you don't really think I'm going to help you pay off the debt, do you? I mean… I know a place to make a fortune."
"Deep in The Reverie Hotel, heehee, there's a monster that looks like an alarm clock. It loves being scolded by others. You, go over there and spray it with a few more insults, maybe… if it's in a good mood, it'll give all the money to you!"
"Remember that, and don't say I'm the one who told you. Gack-gack-gack… Alright, be a good bartender and get me a drink."
In front of the screen.
Seeing Spade say such things.
Mr. Bigiwg and Lady's hearts instantly turned cold!
"Sure enough… it happened."
"Spade, you really haven't changed your nature at all!"
Others might not know.
But the two of them couldn't possibly not know.
That monster that looks like an alarm clock refers to the Clockie-like enemy.
And that monster is famous for being short-tempered among the Dreamjolt Troupe.
If anyone dared to scold it.
That would undoubtedly be adding fuel to the fire!
Spade was clearly bullying a newcomer and playing tricks on others!
"It's over…"
"The reputation of our Dreamjolt Troupe is completely ruined now."
"Run quickly, I feel like after this quest is over, our bar might even get demolished!"
"We're going to be beaten up by even more people in the future…"
"And Siobhan will be implicated too…"
Spade scratched his head.
Looking a bit anxious and guilty.
He didn't want to be like this.
But there was no help for it.
He really did like playing tricks on people…
And just then.
The second guest arrived.
This time…
It was Mr. Bigiwg.
Mr. Bigiwg was instantly energized!
"Don't panic! There's still hope!"
"I'm on stage!"
"I'm a doggy who brings happiness to everyone! I can definitely turn around our Dreamjolt Bar's reputation, wow!"
Spade and Lady watched with skepticism.
They saw Mr. Bigiwg greet the guest first.
"Woof! Hello, new mixologist! I'm a Soda Hound. As long as you meet this doggy, you'll find happiness, wow!"
"You look so tired, is there anything I can help with, wow?"
The female streamer smiled slightly: "These monsters feel so kind."
[ You're too kind, thank you! ]
Mr. Bigiwg shook his head and tail and replied: "Woof! You're welcome. Even though I agreed to help, I won't do anything, wow."
The female streamer's smile instantly froze on her face!
She had righteously said something like [ I won't do anything ]…
"I take back what I said earlier…"
"These monsters feel so cheeky."
